My beloved worshippers,

I feel the need to address a few things.

Firstly, I'm aware that the SEEKER presence in the Cathedral today has been frightening to some of you. I can promise you, they won't harm a hair on any of your heads so long as you follow my rules. Do not speak to them unless spoken to. Cooperate with them only as much as you absolutely must– don't tell them anything about your lives in the Society, your worship of me, or what we do here. This is to protect all of you, I hope you understand. And most importantly of all: do not let them near Moss Rose. If that troublesome brother of hers is allowed to reach her, even indirectly, all the work that I've done on perfecting her will be undone.

Though, it may in fact be best to keep my darling little one close to my side today.

Secondly, I feel that I must address the reason why SEEKER has come here in the first place.

Some of you may be aware that a few stellar cycles ago, we established a branch on one of the Seeds. This branch was incredibly successful, more than even I would have hoped. But, of course, it became a bit too successful for SEEKER.

SEEKER have long been enemies of mine, my beloved worshippers. They see Ersis as a terrarium, and do nothing but destroy any real change that takes root within it. I have long sought to bring not just the Elevrium under my benevolent sway, but every subrealm and every Seed. When all understand who I am and the joy that I bring, only then will there be peace and prosperity in the realms. SEEKER would thwart my efforts to bring about this peace and prosperity. And that is exactly what they've done.

I received word a few hours before my servants in Ersis went silent, that the Seed in which we were gaining a foothold had been cut off and designated Outlier. The Seed will be razed completely within the week.

As for my recruitment party, my High Priest tells me he's been attempting to make arrangements to have them transferred to my care, so that I can re-educate them properly. Of course, this is SEEKER, and if my past dealings with them have taught me anything, it's that if I want this done right, I'll have to do it myself.

If you take one thing away from this post, it is this. You have nothing to fear as long as I am here to protect you, and I will always keep you safe.

–Your Divine Emperor

An Arbitration Feast || DRABBLE

“...I marked a young boy today. Bright thing. Deserves it.”

Awkward silences through shuffling hands and avoided eye contact. Wings manifested and tucked behind them like a defence.

Words out loud, hurried and brash. “Deserves to watch his world burn and be conscripted in the process?”

“Deserves to live.”

“And you get to decide that. Who lives and who dies.” Laurien scoffed, poking idly at her food. Another loaded silence, and the conversation was internal again.

“Let’s not talk about my job. How are your studies going?”

“They could be better. My master says my progress is acceptable, but my potential isn’t being reached.”

“I... am sorry for that.”

“No, you aren’t.” The words spoken allowed, followed with another silence thick and heavy.

“Have you heard from mother?”

“Why would I have heard from her? Fairly sure she wants nothing to do with us now we’re not her little dream team.”

“Did you hear she’s expecting again?”

“Oh, wonderful. A half-sibling.”

“Or two.”

“Please, for the love of the Hethe, don’t make me think about that.”

“I wonder what she’ll call them.”

“She’ll probably finally break and call them Elevrium or something.”

There. A laugh, at last; badly-stifled behind Laurien’s hand. “Hi this is my new son, ~Ishora’evregard~”

“I know the Dekn are our sworn enemies and all but their names are so e x o t i c~”

“I already pity the poor thing.” They were both laughing now, the sound filling the silence like sugar and spice. For the first time, they made eye contact, and their wings relaxed in place just a little more. “I still don’t understand why you won’t change your name. The boys at SEEKER will never leave you alone over it.”

“Spite, mostly,” Laen sighed, “If I change it now they’ll still not leave me alone. I just have to keep my head high and prove myself.”

“You’ll wear yourself out keeping this up. You deserve to be taken seriously.”

“I will. Someday. I just have to keep pushing.”

Laurien was clearly doubtful, but she didn’t press the matter any further. “So... I’ve been making friends.”

“With Dekn. I know.”

“Think about it for a moment. Our mother is hardly the best example of our people. Neither are the bullies you work with. So-.. it stands to reason that there would be good Dekn.”

“Lauri...” He sighed, a loving-yet-tired sigh. Always so forgiving... “You know how father--”

“I know, I know.” Lauri’s wings lifted just a little as she spoke aloud, fluttering in her frustrated enthusiasm, ��But what if they’re not all like that? Just like how humans are all different. How we are all different.”

Laen could see he wasn’t getting through to her, heaving yet another sigh, “Just... be careful, sister. I don’t want you getting hurt by one. The last thing this family needs is another lost to them.”

“I’ll be careful. I promise.”

“Good. You’d better be.” Laen gave up on his food, eyeing his sister with a cheeky glint in his eye. “Now. How about a game of chess?”

“Loser tidies the house? Like old times?”

“Like old times.”

Moirah, is it your boy, Varistrane! Bad English writer. Trying to keep less wordy. Have you been well? Calden choked on a pear again while out adventuring w/ me. His expression - delightful. He throws out hi as well to you. Lathyrmite Tumblr is... odd. Signed, your friend-boy and former compatriot in Beetleswing Abbey, Diarmuid dun Varistrane

MY BOY!!!!!

Hey, man! How have you been? It has been ENTIRELY too long since we've caught up. And to be honest, I really needed this message tonight.

You see, I've fucked up big time and the hole I dug myself into is not a hole I can see a way out of any time soon. What was it that the forgemaster at Beetleswing used to say, though? "We don't do things because they're easy, we do things because they're worthwhile"? Yeah. That's where I'm at. Clawing my way out of the hole I've dug for myself because it's the worthwhile thing to do.

Anyway, enough of that depressing shit, how's the kid doing? Besides accidentally choking on a pear, poor guy. And are you two planning on coming to the Elevrium any time soon? I'd love to meet up with you guys. Maybe do a little adventuring with you, if you need someone to tag along and be the brains of the operation.

(Joke. That's a joke.)

It was so good to hear from you! I sure hope you can get a blog started. Lathrymite Tumblr is… well, it's an absolute mess, and I'm only really here to find someone very dear to me who went missing a few months ago. But it's a good way to stay caught up with what's happening in the realms.

Love deeply, fight valorously, and your deeds will be forever exalted. May the blue-eyed Knight look upon your adventures and find them worthy.

–Moirah

Um, well, it's called the Society of the Purple Rose. I guess you could say that we're a faction of the Dekn Court, but that wouldn't be accurate. There are commoners as well as courtiers in our ranks. Anyway, we're working for... political and religious reform, within the Elevrium. Please don't be alarmed-- we bear no ill will towards non-aggressive Arkn. And, with respect, you don't seem like an aggressor. 💜

“Dekn...”

She hesitates, torn for a moment. She’d seen enough to know what a terrible force the Dekn could be -- and in part, she blamed them for how her brother was. But-.. this one seemed civil. Was it truly fair to judge an entire species? Surely some must be fighting for change, the same as she was. “I’m glad to hear there is movement for change in the Dekn ranks. It’s lovely to meet you.”
