An elfess with snow white hair and violet eyes sat within her home in front of the fire place as she lets herself ponder within the memories of the past. A snow owl would fly through an open window before landing next to the woman with a letter. She pets her owl thank you before taking the item from the bird. Upon opening the letter, warm tears would begin to run down her cheeks as she red the words written for her and her husband. Holding the letter close to her heart, she feels as if a piece of her heart is taken from her. "I knew this day would come, and I knew I should have been prepared, but even though I thought I was, I am not...you were not only a friend, but a brother. Rest now within the stars, Grimm, and if we cross paths once more in our next life, I look forward to being your drinking buddy all over." The elfess would sit within her quiet home for the rest of the day, letting herself sink into the good memories that she had made with her dear friend. "Until we meet again, Grimm"

An elfess stood before the fallen city with her staff. The place she once called home is now lost but instead of sadness, a soft smile rested upon her face "Mother, Sister...Vikela rests in the stars with you now, the sword that protects is now with its founders, please watch over it until I meet you in the stars as well. Until then, continue to watch over our people" She said before getting on one knee with a hand over her heart "It was a gift to be Vikela's knight...and it was a blessing to be its queen."

𝐹𝒾𝓃𝒶𝓁 𝒲𝑜𝓇𝒹𝓈 𝑜𝒻 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒱𝒾𝑜𝓁𝑒𝓉 I look upon the ruins of the place I once called home. The place my children used to run free is now burning in flames. The walls once used to protect my home are now broken into pieces. The place where we once laughed now lays in rubble, all I can wonder is where it all went wrong. When was the last time I felt this hopeless…when was the last time I lost my home..and then I remembered. “Medearia, you must survive.” Those were my birth parents' final words as I ran. Flames engulfed the forest, my home…and the only two people I had ever known. Medearia..that name..I forgot about it…after everything that happened, I tried moving on from my old life…thinking about it was too painful..maybe that’s why.. After Leika took me in as her daughter, I had believed that maybe life would be easier from now on..and it was for a while, I stopped thinking about my past, I was happy. I had a purpose to fight, I had a reason to fight for. I have made so many wonderful friends, ones that I carry within my heart, those who are still alive and those who now rest in the stars. Each and every smile, I remember. Each and every moment we shared, I cherished. Life was simple…friends..a loving husband..wonderful children..there was really nothing more I could have wished for..but when my sister could no longer hold that torch that was eating away at her soul..I had to..I had to give hope..I had to continue holding that torch and so I did. I held it high, I had to continue being that beacon of hope like the 3 queens that came before me…yes…three queens…that’s how many there were before me…all devoting their lives to our home…and now they all rest within the stars, looking down at me…what would they say to me now…would they be disappointed..would they have felt regret that I held the torch… It does not matter now…my time has come..I still remember my adopted mother’s words… “Vikela, it means the sword that protects.” Yes..the sword that protects…the sword I thought that I could hold…but maybe I was wrong…maybe I was not meant to hold that sword…and now it rests in the rubble of my broken home. Today Vikela falls…today Vikela reaches its end…but the people that hold Vikela’s values continue to live on. People that will continue to smile even in the toughest storms…people that I once watched over..I hope they will continue to find happiness in their lives…and a reason to live on. To the people that once called themselves Vikelians..thank you…for looking up to me as your queen. And to my friends, I carry our story into the future. I, Medea Amaranta De Astrea, hope this place will live on in the hearts of those who loved it. To my friends and family, please continue to smile and live with pride. Until we meet again. Medea Amaranta De Astrea, La Violett, The last Queen of Vikela.

that would actually be a really cool concept by i didnt wanna make it too crazy XD

[Creature Lore] 𝓛𝓾𝓶𝓲𝓷𝓪𝓬𝓻𝓲𝓼 𝓦𝔂𝓻𝓶𝓼 (Silk Worms) Physiology The Luminacris Wyrms are a special species of worms that produces silk from the crystals they ingest. They have a segmented, elongated body covered in fine, iridescent hairs that glow faintly in the dark. Its head is small and round, with large, black, bioluminescent eyes adapted for low-light vision. Depending on the crystals they consume, their bodies may take on a subtle hue corresponding to the ingested minerals.They typically measure about 4 to 6 inches in length. Their digestive system specializes in breaking down and absorbing minerals from crystals. Located along the sides of their bodies, there is a silk gland that produces silk threads infused with the minerals from their diet. Behavior Their primary food source is crystals. These worms consume various crystals found within their cave habitats. Each type of crystal affects the color and quality of the silk they produce. They use their strong mandibles to break down crystals into smaller, digestible pieces. Adapted for seeing in complete darkness, they can detect faint light emitted by crystals. They use subtle vibrations and chemical signals to locate crystals and other wyrms. Reproduction occurs within the safety of their caves, where they lay eggs on the underside of large crystals. Eggs hatch into larvae, which feed on crystals and grow into mature silk worms within a few months. Habitat These little creatures are found exclusively in dark, damp caves with ample crystal formations. They Prefer cool, moist environments to thrive. Sensitive to light, they require environments illuminated only by the natural glow of crystals. Their living space must have a steady supply of diverse crystals along with moisture, essential for their survival and silk production, the space they reside in must maintain high humidity levels. Abilities These little creatures, like stated before, can produce silk from the minerals of the crystals they consume. Their bioluminescent features help them navigate and communicate in the dark. The mucus coming off of these creatures are able to make crystals have a brighter, glossy glow to them, therefore enhancing the quality of the crystals. The substance acts as a light coating so that the crystal is not easily scratched. The color of the silk produced by these worms directly correlates to the type of crystals they consume. For example, consuming blue crystals results in blue silk. Each type of silk has unique properties based on the minerals from the consumed crystals, including strength, texture, and luster. Examples of types of Silk that can be produced: Silk produced from Emeralds is a deep Emerald Green color. The silk is strong and durable, making it ideal for elegant gowns and sturdy garments. It is also known for its slight shimmering quality, which adds a touch of luxury. Silk produced from Gold is a Radiant Gold color. The silk has a luxurious sheen and is highly reflective. It is often used in ceremonial attire, high fashion, and accessories. The silk is also exceptionally resilient, stronger than the normal silk fabric and holds its shape well. Note that it can not be used to make armor, it can however be used to decorate. Silk produced from Quartz is Crystal White. The silk is smooth and cool to the touch, with a high amount of reflectivity. It is used in bridal wear, formal attire, and fine linens. Its pure, pristine appearance makes it highly desirable. Silk produced from Rubies is a Rich Ruby Red color. The silk is vibrant and intense, with a slight warmth. It is used for evening wear, formal gowns, and luxurious fabrics. The silk also has a subtle luster, enhancing its visual appeal. Silk produced from Sapphires is a Sapphire Blue color. The silk is elegant and smooth.

The silk is also noted for its luxurious texture and comforting quality. Taming To collect these small fragile creatures, use a basket with a soft, leafy lining and a secure cover to protect the silk worms during transport. Gently place the worms into the basket, ensuring minimal handling to avoid stress or injury. Collect them during periods of low activity, typically during their rest phases. Maintain them in a dark, humid environment that mimics their natural habitat. Provide a steady supply of various crystals to ensure healthy silk production. Limit light exposure to the natural glow of crystals and small candle flames to avoid harming the worms.

Medea walks about within her new home, decorating the place as she was delivered a letter by her owl. Upon opening the missive, her face remained neutral "The state of Vikela no longer lies in my hands...but I'm sure Cerrick understands what he's doing...he did make a promise after all.." She looked to her owl "Has my husband been well in his new home Kiana?" The owl chirped in reply "That is good." She would then take the missive and placed it within a drawer with the other copies of Vikelian missives.

Medea would be sitting inside her room within the Palace, sipping her tea as she red the missive. A smile formed on her face "It is quite nice watching from the side lines I must say"

Medea would let out a sigh, giving a smile as she looked down at Vikela from her room within the palace "Vikela must fight the orcs once more mother...will this time play out the same as before...or will we have a chance.." She questioned at she looked up to the sky

A Queen’s Final Act [!] Letters would be sent to people across Avoes As you all know, war is upon us. In a month's time we must pick up our swords to defend Vikela against the orcs of Lurak. As your leader I feel as though I have failed, I still wonder how I could have avoided this, what could I have done to protect Vikela from such a fate, but I could not think of anything. The orcs reasoning for war is still something I do not understand. They have said that the spirits are upset with us Vikelians because of our structures but I have not once heard of such from the spirits, and no other spiritualist or shamans have heard of such, only the orcs. Which makes me wonder even more, is protecting the forest really their true intentions? If it was, why did you burn the tree that grew within my vassal? I stare at the once beautiful golden tree now engulfed in flames, is this what protecting the forest means? To my once ally, Lurin. I have seen your missives. You have said that Vikela did not choose the option of peace, saying that this is a fight not worth fighting, but I ask, what peace option was there? The option they gave us demanded we leave our lands whether we win or lose, where is the peace in that? When at the end of the day, they want my people to leave their homes. To my allies in Vortice, I hold no anger towards you. You did what you must to keep your own people safe. Any good leader would do the same, thank you for letting it be known that you will take in refugees of Vikela, for that I am eternally grateful. And to the last part of this missive, I have decided to publicly inform you all that during these times of war, I have found it necessary to step down for the time as we need an experienced leader for the war. I hereby ascend Cerrick Fenifaer to the rank of Lord Marshal and hand over control of Vikela to him, I believe with him leading during these times, Vikela will have a chance. To my citizens, please, stand up. Please let go of your fear, pick up your swords and fight. If we let the enemy scare us into submission before we’ve even fought, then we have already lost. Pick up your swords and fight for your home, for your loved ones, for your friends and for your freedom to live. If the orcs want our home, then we will have them fight for it, we will have them work for it like how we worked to build Vikela into the place it is now. I look forward to fighting alongside you all as we stand for what we love. SOVRÈN MAJESTÉ, Reine Medea Amaranta Viola De Astrea, La Violetta, The Queen of Vikela. MAY LIGHT GUIDE, Cerrick Fenifaer, Paladin of the Fallen Xan, Formerly of Khamees, Field Marshal of Vikela, Head of the Military Junta of Vikela,

Medea stares at the missive, blinking to herself as she was very confused "I'm sorry...but Bal'ance died in Almaris..the only Bal'ance we have now is a statue to remember him by...WHO'S PANDA DID THEY TAKE?!"

A time that works best for my people is 2pm est because we are all gmt based. If we do 4pm est, everyone would be offline cause we are all asleep. but i do prefer it be on a saturday

"Bal'ance...? Are they really calling our panda a demon..? Ah yes, Bal'ance the demon panda, strikes fear into people's hearts" Medea turned her head to Andria
