Vanessa never thought she would be begging to die. What went wrong? Walking through the house, so small it could barely accommodate all her children, she braided the branch of white flowers. - With each turn of it, the woman reconsidered one of her many mistakes. Fear. Upon seeing the bodies of her own parents, something has changed, she discovered the meaning of fear, the fear of losing someone. Most of her days became gray, but never a word was spoken about it. Anyone who dared to ask about her parents would receive an uneasy silence. Silence. When it came time to take a stand, Vanessa remained silent for so long she exploded onto the world stage. Many fights took place outdoors; and she never cared, Vanessa’s greatest fear was getting lost, to lose herself. No longer ashamed of anything, she met many people. One of her most fatal mistakes was to love. Love. Love kills faster than hate. Vanessa left everything behind for love, ever since the first person she admired. Whether they were relatives, children, spouses, or friends... She tried, and failed many times, to be seen as someone to be trusted. Saying things she knew she could not achieve, she lied to herself countless times. Or rather, Nessa never lied, she merely withheld the truth. Lies. I wonder how far lies can go. Trying to save her own skin from something she did not like, she lied. Promised a future she knew she did not deserve, longed for more than she had, but never found contentment. People did not find contentment in lies, imagine if she had been honest. Her last and greatest sin was resentment. Resentment. Many say that holding grudges is harmful, Vanessa is now sure of it. Every mistake, every step she took, every thought... Her resentment was directed at herself. Everything she did not do, not eat, not say, travelled, visited… She failed to do what could have given things a different direction, a one that would have kept her coffin further away. As she was leaving Petra, Nessa noticed something was wrong and knew she wouldn’t be returning. Leaving everything behind was one of the best decisions she had ever made. Or at least she hoped it would be. Antônio “I promised to continue our legacy. I have heirs, I am sure they will carry our culture everywhere. sorry about this… I miss you. Hope I don’t run into you in hell. Please, tell me, is heaven cold?” My Niece “I apologize for putting you through this… And everything you went through because of me during your life. The last thing I wanted to do was upset you.” Alma, Mattea and Finnean “Ah, my friends. I will miss the three of you when I leave… Alma, your eye is better, right? - The streets are not safe anymore… Thank you for making Petra more than just a city, but a home. I apologize for not having taken more advantage of it.” My children “The day my work in life is finished… I will take care of you in spirit. I hope to see all of you grow up, working, married… If anything happens, stay with Siegfried. Don’t leave. He will take good care of the family.” Siegfried “I love you more than anything, to the moon and back… Our problem has always been loving too much. I am sure many people envy us. I trust you to take everything forward. My culture, the family, the love we had… Fights are worth it, after all.” With Love, Vanessa Ah, meu Deus, eu sei, eu sei Que a vida devia ser bem melhor e será Mas isso não impede que eu repita [a vida] É bonita, é bonita e é bonita “O que É o que É?” - Gonzaguinha

"Huh, Petra?... i wonder what happened." A girl as pale as snow exclaims as she reads the missive.

Alessandro wonders what will happen next, calmly preparing a cup of chamomile tea, with sugar. "Some choices are truly idiotic."

Vanessa reads the missive, as usual. A proud smile escaped her. "Education really is the key to everything, hrm..." She folds the paper, huffing. "But... Royal Governess? Will take me a while to get used to it. - Time to get to work."

Even though it'd be a complex system, with a few more simplifications... Could work pretty well. I wouldn't say it would please everyone, but until now, ships don't have much use other than aesthetics anyway.

“Zwei Seelen und ein Gedanke, zwei Herzen und ein Schlag.” Two souls and one thought, two hearts and one beat. Issued by; House Von Schwanstein Soon, we celebrate love, filling hearts with determination. - Amidst wars, disagreements, losses, longing and fear, love triumphs - and stands. Proof of this is the, now eternal, union of; Siegfried Aurelian Von Schwanstein & Vanessa Nascimento. Consequently, we invite everyone to a warm, comforting afternoon in Petra. Following the ceremony, a banquet will be held in honor of the newlyweds within the palace halls. Imported tea will be served with pastries, following the appointed customs of the court. Tables will be set, for free seating arrangements, where party-goers can engage in social pleasantries. Written by Vanessa Nascimento, Siegfried von Schwanstein, and Princess Mattea. It will be an honor to receive you.

THE COURT OF ROSES With the official formation of the Court of Roses, there is a perceived constant need to record our customs, traditions, arts and ways. Which arises from the moment several cultures aim to preserve history in a dignified way. Bearing that in mind, we took these pages to present fragments of our current creed. FASHION ATTIRES “Straight from the horse’s mouth” NOBILITY Nobles are expected to dress in a manner befitting their status. Floral, colourful fabrics are welcome, given the strong cultural presence already established. During formal events, neutral and reserved attire is traditionally worn, however, there is no set colour pattern as it depends on the families. COMMONERS Among commoners, clothing is a form of expression. - Influencing the nobility; flowers, layers and prints are well-regarded. Despite focusing on comfort, during formal events, commoners are expected to wear appropriate dresses and suits, maintaining the standards of the Federation. CUISINE “Best thing since sliced bread” Cooking is part of the cultural heritage of all once alive civilizations - Traditional Belethian dishes include vegetables, fruits, light seasonings and wheat, in addition to edible flowers, which are used mainly by the nobility, as decoration. We encourage families to document their culinary traditions to deepen our understanding of dishes prepared both inside and outside the court, thinking about future projects. ARTISTIC EXPRESSIONS “Long story short” Art represents the soul of a group, when viewed as a whole. - There is no standardization of art, however, aiming to bring greater appreciation to it, we write a bit about our artistic culture. PAINTINGS With great influence from various places, paintings tend to follow the pattern of depicting families,events and distinct groups - Not always faithfully. They are also a clear form of political expression, representing our leaders and history-makers in various situations. MUSIC Traditional music is characterized by drama. - Operas, waltzes and pieces are present in everyday life. Although poetry is not traditionally associated with the Federation, it is well regarded and appreciated by those interested. What matters is comforting hearts. CONCLUSION During this initial period, it is difficult to understand our identity as one. The goal is to provide a clear understanding of what truly represents us. Culture is the brain of the people, from the point we understand it, we understand what we are fighting for. SIGNED, HER ROYAL HIGHNESS, Angelika Morgause, Princess-Royal of Beleth and Eicharia, Duchess of Southspire and Countess of Gwendolen HIS LORDSHIP, Alessandro Roa, Lord Seneschal of the Rose Courts

To what extent can grief go? Vanessa asks herself everyday. He's not the first one, won't be the last, and she's sure of it. - It's an unfair price to pay for something she never did. Carrying the news on her shoulders, upon arriving in Ipanema, agonizing screams were heard. "It's not the first time, and it won't be the last." Those who could hear her thoughts would call her insane, a thing she's already used to. Leaves, flowers, and anything else she could find were thrown onto her workbench. - For the last time, the traditional "Buquê De Lírios" was made. The same thing Nessa did to everyone she'd ever lost, but now with a different weight. - Weight of such great pain, caused her to trample the flowers and destroy them in the same day. "What did I do?... It was my fault, wasn't it? I saw him, I could have..." "It's not selfish to want to die in his place, is it?" - "He... He deserved to live. I think at this point, I'm the one who deserves to die, anyway." [ ! ] Pieces of a bouquet could be seen in front of the Ipanema palace. - Most of the flowers were white. - They seemed to be offerings to something or someone.

“As a scholar, things are usually lonely, that’s when you join in.” Tea Club - A Students Guild Good news must be shared; It is no news to those who have been accompanying us; we have had several problems. - Be about locality or politics. The reality is: During such turbulent times, it was impossible to maintain a peaceful place. However, this changes with the current situation. The guild is aware of the chaos echoing through Aevos. With that in mind, once again, everything was designed from the beginning as a shelter, a place you can share, listen, and understand. Now, finally, with a physical location. In “The Oasis of Ipanema”. - Current belonging of Casa Alencar. The original idea of visiting libraries will be put aside for now. - Not forgotten, but better structured. - Meetings taking place at headquarters, as a security measurement. Further, if you want to understand a little more about us or the new place embracing The Club, do not hesitate to send us letters. Just one per person. We don't want to waste paper. Signed; Vanessa de Alencar Founder of “The Aevosi Tea Club”

Aurelia Emilija slowly reads the missive, her fingers traced the paper like a dance. - She was sure this day would come, soon or later, is how people work. Lia knows, regardless of that, she made the right choice. "Useless... seeking unnecessary fights with those who are beyond understanding. People have a terrible habit of getting into trouble, willingly. When they could just... Nevermind." The woman sighs, nodding and letting the paper where it belongs. "It seems that not everyone is as brave as me."

Vanessa sighs heavily when the news reached her. Suddenly, tears filled her face. Longing, again, just like she used to. Again, she lost family. Again, it's just her, Dio and Antônio. Again, wasn't new. But it hurt. Somehow, even feeling forgotten, anger was a way of coping. "No... he's not dead, damn! I swear, he would never... Not again... hah, idiota..." The woman gets up, slowly opening an old box. Inside, books and clothes from her childhood. "What if... no, i'm a mother now. Aw... at least a wine, would be good... Argh, what i'm thinking?!"

So, now that my character Vanessa is marrying someone, we need to search players for kids. We’re thinking on 3 or 4, and you can choose if it’s a girl or a boy. She’s an Alencar and is marrying Reese Debnam. Humans. Adoption is indeed an option (if that’s the case then you can be even a vampire and we’ll accept you LMAO). Q&A I’ll need to wait? Maybe, blood children will be playable in a few weeks. I’ll have a house? Yes, we have a house and we’ll have a bigger one soon. What about skins? Don’t worry about it. We will give you those. Vanessa already has kids? Just one, and she’s adopted. My parents are employed? Yes, Reese is a knight and… Vanessa… Well, she’s a student, and created a guild. Are they too old? Nope, around their 30’s! Best years in life frfr. How do they look like? If you wish to ask anything/know more about it, feel free to msg my discord yuiilindaos or summerguy421 Alencars are a friendly and weirdly big family, so yes, you’re welcome.

Aurelia questions herself if she'll ever be able to cook anything listed. For sure, Cosima will need to teach her. - "Surely the salad isn't that difficult."

“As a scholar, things are usually lonely, that’s when you join in.” I present to you; Tea Club- A Students Guild Introduction; During such hard times, it’s hard to find a peaceful place to simply exist. Thinking about that, me, Vanessa de Alencar, decided to start a safe group. Does not matter if you’re a human, elf or ghost…You will be welcome here, our goal is to find the most impressive and interesting individuals, preferably passionate students, to grow as someone with values, will, self preservation, mission… To be remembered. We won’t have any political bounds, nor an exact place to always “hang out”. Our place will always be libraries, all which wish to receive us. Any form of knowledge is welcome, books are just the start, for sure, you have some to share with us. We hope our voice reaches… Elves, Humans, any kind of species. Those eager for knowledge, good talks, quiet evenings. Covenants, Church people, kids, those seeking help, be it physical or mental. Philosophy lovers, science makers, researchers of any age. In short, anyone who desires to seek new passions in a group with others, or share the ones you already have. Ideals; Kindness is Always Welcome As a first value, kindness is precious. Being friendly, generous and considerate towards others, see others as equals, even if you have higher ranks. Wisdom is Glory Any kind of wisdom should and will be an honour. Wisdom, in general, should be shared for those who seek it, never being an individual idea. As a life student, keeping your knowledge always locked, can be considered a waste. Those Who Seek Help, Will Have It One of the greatests knowledge is to understand we need to help our close or distant ones, be it with simple words or massive campaigns. We, as a group, hope to help the ones who seek it, without thinking on race, age, filiation or political ideas. We are all one To the day this guild was made, we’re all one. Regards our personal relations, ideas, beliefs. Body and soul, our group will always be together, with such a strong bond not even the temporary distance we are forced to endure at the end of our meetings can break. How we work? We don’t have an exact hierarchy. Sure, you can get titles depending on your work inside the guild. Further, our idea is to have different members to each work kind, for example, first philosophy teacher or battle trainer. Our meetings are supposed to happen in different libraries, twice a month, creating a warm and comfortable environment to any who decides to join. We will always try to bring Tea as our symbol, since the word itself passes a balanced, neutral, nature friendly and comfy idea. We will drink Tea in the libraries that allow it. Signed; Vanessa de Alencar Founder of “The Aevosi Tea Club”.

It is a hard decision to simply forget about your past, as dust flies over the wind. Memories and hearts, a place where you thought you would finally belong… But you were wrong. I was wrong, sure, this was meant to be. To this day, I will no longer hold the name Vuiller, following the clarity that it no longer belongs to me, or my close ones. This was and is GOD’s will. - A hard decision, which with belief and, especially, pain, I am aware of taking. If it is not my place, if my close ones are not welcome inside this hold, then I hope to end up in oblivion, just like them, rebel for those who see me as one. I highlight here the respect for my mother, which will make me keep the “Emilija” middle name, a source of constant pride and honor. Time has won it, however, I shall keep memories. As a last statement, here I say; I renounce any titles, inheritance, privilege or lack thereof the Vuillers last name could hold me. I am no longer an active and participative member of the Vuiller household, or its ideas or rules. I make explicit my direct support for the church and its culture, respecting the place I belong to, until death. Signed;

Lia reads the missive, shown by Lenora, even though it's already late. A sweet smile appears upon her face, crossing her arms in accordance. "If you think that's the right thing, then go for it... That's how things work. - You are brave, really brave, Aera." Aurelia said, her face showing admiration.
