  1. SPRING CLEANING An open letter in response to the actions of my once-brother. To their Majesties Ivan VIII and Nataliya of Ghaestenwald, It has come to my attention that the sins of the man I once called brother - Anatoliy Godunov - have been uncovered, and punished with a righteous death. I have few kind words to say in regards to his character, and to speak them would be deception in the highest degree. So I will say what unkind words I am able to without degrading my own character. My brother was a pagan, a betrayer, a dark mage. His heart laid in his bank account, not with God, or even his family. All this is known. What is not known is the precise cruelty of his treatment of me, his loving sister. I will not belabor the point, for the sake of the comfort of all those who once called him their friend (though I suspect there were very few, by the end,) but the gravest insult he laid upon me came in the years following the “death” of his wife. After hearing the news of Poppiya’s “death,” I sought my brother out to offer him my comfort, as was my duty. My journey took me out of Haense, through Balian, and into the pagan lands of Haelun’or’s Kaethul - a den of dark mages and heretics. There I found him in conversation with both a Devilspawn and an elf. Before I even had the chance to tell my brother of my mission, he began berating me for what was the great plague of my life: my lack of marriage. In his own words, I was “of no use to him” if I could not marry well. It was then that I realized what many had realized long before: there was no heart left in my brother’s chest. His soul had been poisoned by the company he kept, and could not be saved. I left immediately, and spent some months in the monastic Society of St. Juliya in Petra, where I prayed over my brother’s sins, and requested guidance from God on how to respond. When I heard the news of his death, the answer came to me: I must return to Haense, and take up the mantle that the betrayer Anatoliy once bore, in hopes of returning honor to my family’s name, and restoring my lineage in the eyes of God. Following this, I have a request to make of Your Majesties, that being that I may be granted the title of Regent of House Godunov so that I may begin the work of restoring virtue to my family. I know that I have been absent from Haense for some years, but my loyalty and my heart lies with my homeland, always. Yours, with eternal faith and reverence,
  2.

  3. A worn, tired sailor found the missive on the desk of his captain's quarters. He read it in silence, unreceptive to the calls from his crew, or the whipping of the wind beyond the wooden walls of his ship. The ink bled beneath spotted saltwater tears as Alasdair wept silently for the death of his friend. There were no words for this moment, nor was there anyone to say them to.
  4. A sly fortune-teller prepares her crystal ball...
  5. "Don't go getting any ideas, now..." Said a wary Alchemist, eyeing her clockwork servant from across the room.
  6. "Enrico has nay told his family about us?" Murmured one Galina Georgina Godunov, scanning over the missive. A frown was spread across her round, freckled face. "That is nay like him... perhaps it is the grief." Then, she glanced over at the most recent bouquet he'd brought her, still standing fresh on the countertop. "Hrm," Was her eloquent conclusion. "Ea ought to write and make sure he's okay..."
  7. Far across the continent, a timeworn Alchemist reads through the missive, her brows furrowed. She wonders, somewhere tucked in a corner of her mind, what might have been.
  8. Galina Georgina knelt beside her bed, and praying for the soul of her brother's wife. "May she rest well in the Skies."
  9. Galina Georgina emerged from her sewing room just long enough to read the letter from her friend. "It's happening!" She said, unable to restrain herself. "Praise Godan, it's finally happening. Ea must finish quickly-" And so she returned to her work, merrily stitching away at her best friend's wedding gown...

  11. •─────────────────────•✦•─────────────────────• [!] AN AURUM DOLL SITS NESTLED BETWEEN THE ROOTS OF THE TREE. HER FACE IS SMUDGED WITH ASH. SHE STANDS WITH HER ARMS SPREAD AS IF CRUCIFIED, OFFERING A FROZEN EMBRACE TO THE WORLD. AT HER CENTER IS AN EMPTY CAVITY WHERE HER INSIDES ONCE WERE. NOW, IT CONTAINS A NOTE. •───•✩•───• I seek no magic from you. I have faced my own trials at the hands of M––– and proven myself a devoted student. I do not trust you. I have known your flock to do little harm, and little good. But the halls of my own are as empty as yours, and sing of treachery. If nothing else, I would that we met. Find me where the river runs, and the maps are made. •───•✩•───• [!] Upon closer inspection, the doll reveals itself to be made of Alchemical clockwork. When a miniature key at the back of her neck is twisted, the doll lets out an ear-piercing shriek. •─────────────────────•✦•─────────────────────•
  12. "Based," says a fellow Alchemical scholar. She marks the date on her calendar, and resolves to attend.
  13. Galina Georgina does not cry. This is for many reasons. It is unbecoming, especially with her complexion. The tears aren't as lovely as the ones worn by her darker-haired, olive-skinned friends, and only turn her skin an ugly, blotchy red. Galina can never be ugly. So it's not crying, what she does. I am not crying, she tells herself. I am not crying. I am not crying. The girl in the mirror on her desk watches her, puffy-eyed and ugly. The documents pile higher as word from the war floods in. Death and victory. The rosary draped over her lampshade is comical, shining holy light on the stories of terror and violence. But today, Galina doesn't think about God. She stares down at the ink on paper, smudged with the not-tears, impossible to read. "Honestly," Galina told herself. "I barely knew him. We've only spoken a few times." Today, Galina thinks about the future. She does not think about what he was to her, but what he could have been. "I want you to be my daughter," Heinrich had told her on an oft-remembered night, in the heart of Merryweather. She had wanted it too. Had wanted him to be everything her own father was not; wise, encouraging, filled with wit and advice. Present. "I won't be Prince for a long time," Johannes had said. "I hope." War and hope do not mix well. Galina Georgina does not cry. This is for many reasons. She does not cry at death, or failure, or pain. Crying is a waste of time, and time is always in short supply. So it's not crying, what she does. Instead, Galina writes.

It shall follow the tradition of many such celebrations: First is the wreath ceremony, wherein a wreath of flowers will be bestowed upon me. They will be especially chosen for both their symbolism and their beauty, and are a symbol of good wishes for the future. Should guests elect to bring gifts, they may present these then. Then will come the first dance, wherein I will share the final dance of my youth with my father, Malcolm. After this, my guests (and any suitors) will join us on the dance floor, for a night of revelry. It is my wish that my Hauchmetvas be themed around the chivalric tales of eld. The ball shall be a costume ball, with a theme of princesses, princes, knights, dragons, et cetera to be observed by the guests, if at all possible. Of course, in absence of a costume, guests are still greatly encouraged to attend, as revelry is for all, not only those with fancy outfits. Young men wishing to be suitors may select a branch of flowers from those provided at the door, and may offer them to me during the ball to signal their interest in me. At the end of the evening is the burning of youth. The majority of the guests will depart, and I will select three items that represent my childhood, explain their significance, and then ceremonially burn them to represent my journey into adulthood. ୨⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯✧♡✧⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯୧ WHERE?
