TILL DEATH DO US PART

 

Issued by the

JOINT PETRAN-HAESENI FORCES 

On the 11th day of Gronna ag Droba of 560 E.S.

 

 

---

 

THE DAELISH SCUM HAVE PLAGUED THE MIDLANDS FOR FAR TOO LONG. They cower beneath the ruined keeps of the former Aaunite lands, only to emerge when they find the easiest of prey to pick on. The red-haired rats stormed into the Free City of Chambery and captured the Dame-Chancellor of Petra as she prepared for a meeting, catching the Vicar in a rare moment of unawareness. Thankfully, this act was noticed and reported, and the call to rally the joint forces was made. 

 

A letter was received quickly within the city of Valdev and the bell was rung to bring news of the abduction. The Brotherhood led by King Karl IV, Lord Marshal Magnus Raudrdag, and Duke Dmitry var Ruthern sallied out to join with their new-found allies in the Heartlands with 2,500 men. They were welcomed within the walls of Vallagne to find a host of 2,000 Petrans and Numendian, commanded by the Knight Commander of the Petrine Laurel Sir Artair von Theonus, the Crown Prince Therin of the Petra, Marius Audemar, Lord-Commander Amadeus, and Crown-Regent Gareth Lucius at the ready upon their Petrine steeds. The joint forces were then bolstered by Lord Commander Jarad Mah’nel and 800  Cilia’diraar, before their departure into the Holy Regency. 

 

A forward scouting party had tracked the bandits to an underground lair, where the Dame-Chancellor’s voice was heard calling from beneath the ground. The scouts lead the great host to the ruins, where once again, voices of Daelishmen could be heard calling out in taunt. With haste, the party infiltrated the lower parts of the bandit hideout and retrieved the body of the Dame-Chancellor. His Royal Highness, Therin, had given the command: to rid the infestation at its source. The two parties clashed violently for hours in the halls of the lair, both on the surface and below. It was the Petrine forces, whom were driven by their lust for vengeance, who pushed the Daelish deeper into their pit. Amidst the ensuing battle, Viktor and Rhys var Ruthern slayed two of the fleeing Daelish lords. It seemed the battle was near an end, the coalition forces teetering on the edge of victory.

 

Emboldened by the shouts of victory from the soldiers below, Marius Audemar ordered a charge into the depths of the lair. The Daelish scrambled for a defense behind their gates, but the Petrine-Haeseni forces cut them down mercilessly. As their numbers dwindled, the remaining Daelish Captains attempted to retreat to their vault so that they could escape with what little riches they had. A remarkable duo, Aganar Kalgan and Dmitry, managed to pursue the cravens into their vault and slaying the remaining bandits in their entirety. 

 

As the combined forces of Petra, Numendil, Hanseti-Ruska and Celia’nor continued their invasion of the underground lair, The Dame-Chancellor was recovered upon a lower floor, from which the cowardly Daelishmen had fled. Despite the swift actions and coordination of the gathered forces, they could not outrun the speed of a dagger- As in a final, petty act, the bandits had taken their blades to Lady Auclair before the rescuers could reach her. She was extracted from the abandoned lower levels with ease, and brought by her family back to the city of Vallagne. Her kin delivered her to the royal palace of the Commonwealth, still reeling with grief and loss as they searched for what the path forward might be, in a Heartlands devoid of a leader so beloved. A gloom had set over the seat of House Temesch, that seemed to darken the very room.

 

But darkness was not permitted to linger, for a soul as bright as that of Amélie Auclair. The words of those who stood witness in the palace that day say that the lanterns in the palace suddenly brightened, from a dim glow to a roaring blaze, their light turning to molten streams of fire that surrounded the Dame’s fallen, bloodstained body. From the orange flame, burning with holy light, emerged a figure clad in white cloth and framed by towering wings- Both imposing and awe-inspiring. 

 

The witness observed as Saint Raguel reached out for the fallen Chancellor’s body, bidding those surrounding her to venerate themselves before GOD. The Archaengul’s body burst into holy light and surrounded Amélie, and it was said that her flesh seemed to knit back together, wounds healing and flesh replenishing. The Aengul appeared once more, and spoke to all present; The resurrection of Amélie Auclair was part of GOD’s ineffable plan. 

 

The injustice against the Dame-Chancellor had been righted, her work in this world not yet finished. Life was returned to her, not a scratch upon her skin as she took in air once more, in a peaceful and blessed slumber. The Daelishmen had failed in their task completely, unable to rob her of her faith, and light.

The King of Haense set a foot into the stirrup of his horse's saddle and hoisted himself up and a leg over the mount. He spied the Daelishmen's corpses being brought out of the tunnels as he tugged on the reins and urged his stead forward. His face crumpled up into one of distaste, both for the sorry state of them even before death and for their lack of morality. 
 

"Homeward, Haeseni. There's no more work to be done here."

Atticus finishes penning his report of the events within the Petrine palace, sealing and sending it off to the young Crown Prince, before returning to the work which had occupied much of his evening- Prayer. He was convinced now, that his refusal to conspire against the Aengul Raguel had been rewarded. His daughter was alive.

"The Daelanders now sup poisonous, sulfuric waters. They dine on rotted flesh, their souls doomed to wander brimstone and fire for all eternity. For now, they rot in hell for what has been wrought. A fate that awaits all who give in to barbarity. Their black blood shall serve more use in death than in life - to sustain the worms, to quench the soil's thirst. Wormfood. It is only my wonder if there are more who shall stoop to these lows." 

"First round of Carrion is on me, friends. Race you hom-- Hey! Wrotek! You got a head start! Not fair! Hyah!"

"It was a good but long fight, got my promotion during the wait."  Aganar chuckled to himself, petting is trustful pet as a thank you for helping him in the fight before he went over the spoils.

Jarad Mah'nel, Lord Commander of the Celia'diraar would sit beside Aganar "and yet you did not believe me about my own promotion" he said nudging his follow lord commander. "Victory for the Celia'diraar and the 700 troops that road with us and the 200 that road ahead of us" he said with a hearty chuckle

The Goblin with a painted green face & a red out-fit had witnessed the 'revival' of Amelie from behind the gate.
The unnatural nature of her coming back from death left the shaman feeling quite shaken. While he never saw eye to eye with the Chancellor personally - he respected her professionally & her work.

Now he can't even do that. She's ceased being 'human' in Bon'Ox's eyes with her first breath - necromancy disguised as divine.

*Valerie, would still think her sister die. She failed to protect, what She care the most, and the scene of Amelie troat being cut, will hunt her for the rest of her Life. But after reading the missive, her hearth soft of the heavy burned.

 

"I failed to do what our mother asked me to do, im not suited to even called an Auclair anymore...but i thank the Lord for saving her"

2007 | Until The End
✦• ──────── •✦• ──────── •✦

The resurrected Lady-Regent, lay thence still, the gentle depositions of pyre-light,

refracted gently unto the tear-spun gleam, of her now, yet untouched cheek.

A soft breath, shuddered gently part her lips, as eyes, lidded slowly, from both end, and true night's sleep.
