#Ttkedit

[inky-duchess]

What is in my heart, if not the desire for home? Undoubtedly, I pray for a fixed place in the world like the stars in the sky and the stones within the earth. His question rings in my ears, tolling like the groan of the bronze bells of the island fastness where once I been loved. What do you do now?

The challenge in his eyes is clear cut as diamonds on jeweller's cloth, the edge to his words almost rattling like a coin upon a table. What are you willing to do? How far are you willing to go to?

-Extract from Val 7, BOOK 9 of The Thirteen Kingdoms series

we need more femslash | arrah x drusilla

The way Arrah’s eyes study Drusilla’s holo, it’s like she’s in awe of the most beautiful canvas she’s ever seen. Her fingers lightly trace the air around Drusilla’s hand and then cover it, giving the illusion that she’s clasping her hand.

Francis has his head upon Julian's lap, eyes closed against the fingers combing through his soft golden ringlets. "I am content for now."

Julian's lips twitch at that, amusement flashing behind his gaze. "Liar."

Sunset is creeping in the diamond-paned windows, everything is soon kisser with sunlight, golden-orange like honey on a warm autumn evening. The ocean churns afar, shimmering like liquid light, dotted with the shadows of black ships upon the sunset tide. The sky is slashed with light and dark, the clouds like bloodstains across a golden banner unfurled in the distant heavens.

-Excerpt from John XII, TTK BOOK 7

This is the moment where all the histories converge at once, a thousand strands woven together to finally meet here. How many of our ancestors dreamt of this moment? How many wished to be standing here?

What a jest the gods have played here, I think to myself. Here we stand, one reluctant and one eager both unsuited for the climatic crossing of stars which have brought us here.

He is but a boy, unblooded and green as spring. He wears that crown like a player's prodigy upon a stage, smiling nervously at the heart of the men sent to pull his strings.

- Excerpt from Edward VII, Book 8 of The Thirteen Kingdoms Book series

The hall glowed with the light of a thousand tapers, some cloistered in lanterns and some perilously clinging to the chandeliers twisting high above. The air was perfumed with a dozen scents, the incense from the wax mingling with colognes, sweet wines and the underlying stench of lies.

The men go about arm in arm with women of ill-reputation dressed as ladies and the women of the court flatter men of middling birth, neither sex questioning the other's standing. Everyone is somebody else tonight, they have adopted another visage, another name. Infidelities go by without note, enemies dance side by side and strangers linger in the gardens to whisper words that will shame them by morning's break.

Nobody knows what truth lays under the masks worn over their features or what heart lays beneath the costume. No, tonight is for illusion and beguilement.

WTW Tarot Prompts - The Chariot

The charge halts to a stop with a resounding crash, metal screeching on metal and the thud of bodies on earth. Clods of blood-soaked earth spray into the air at the impact, limbs broken from falls bent sickeningly amongst twisted lances and spears. In the mist of cannon smoke, dances the shrieks of the wounded and dying, mangled amongst the chaos.

Your move.

Relationships of TTK~ Belle & her grandmother (posthumous at the time of cannon)

"You must never waver in your duty to the kingdom, my child. Your flesh may bruise, your heart may bleed, but you must be steadfast through it all," she had told me, taking my hands in hers. "Always."

At the time of cannon, Belle's grandmother, Elizaveta, is long dead but it is her that Belle finds herself relying on throughout her travails. Her grandmother had raised her, hoping to replace Belle's father (Elizaveta's own son) with her granddaughter as the heir but died before it could be made possible. Belle grows up clinging to the memory of Elizaveta while her father takes the throne. When she does eventually become Queen, the nobles and commons see Belle as Elizaveta returned, as Belle resembles her grandmother in nature as well as by appearance.

WTW Tarot Prompts- THE FOOL

The berline is a grand thing, made of fine black ebony with curtains of rich damask and seats of velvet. It comes with its own team of drivers and handlers from Spaere, all dressed in gleaming livery. The horses are thick-bodied Nyvarian throughbreds, who stand proudly at their task, as haughty as their drivers. Even the tack is the very best in can be, leather with etched scrolls edged with silver gilt.

My stomach twists at the sight of this gift. Here I stand dressed in burrowed clothing on foreign soil and there the truth stands before me, bold and proud as the horses. I'm naught but a well born beggar.

But I have the road ahead of me and sometimes that's all that matters.

"Let us give Mael a reason to rage, yes?" He hisses into my ear, hand latching against the column of my arm. "After all, it is nothing I did not have before."

[inky-duchess]

Thousands of the commons gather on the plaza praying as the Priestesses begin their ritual to the god. The stallions are white as snow, their eyes dark and bright, reflecting the overcast sky. The animals are docile as they are led out, ignorant of silvered scythes in the hands of the novices around them. They seem so innocent as they mount the dais, blinking at all the eyes staring back, ears prickling up at every sound that echoes in the courtyard. The scythe flashes in the cool air, silver against the grey of the sky. Blood splashes on the cobbles, steaming where it strikes the stone.

The bronze bells toll all around us, each thunderous peal striking the very air like a whip. The crowd disperses, the song of god beating their path home. They will dine on the flesh of fowl today, washing it down with goat's milk and the special bread, stuffed with the last of the fruit and nuts of summer as the world yields to winter.

Side Characters of TTK~ Ella

Ella is not exactly the most obvious choice. She is rather plain in this court of notable beauties and straightforward in the face of the infamous wit of those about her but I never count her out completely. "Of course it will be Ella." I repeat. "Who else can I trust?"

Family of TTK ~ Val's Family

(Only the important ones)

Val: Val is our PoV character for the Vaeltys and Ortheri storyline. She begins the story as a niece of the most powerful man in the world, married to a young Prince despite her feelings for another PoV character, Edward. Val is a complex character, both incredibly intelligent, distrusting and comfortable in any political arena.

The Duke: The Duke is the most powerful and wealthy man in the Thirteen Kingdoms. He is Val's uncle, her mentor throughout the events of the books, sometimes her ally, sometimes her enemy.

Xenia: Xenia is her paternal aunt, mother to Raphael, Octavia and Ella. Xenia is her favorite aunt, the one who remains close to her. Xenia takes no shit even if her brother is the most powerful man alive.

Raphael: Raphael Xenia's son, and is Val's favourite cousin, a character who everybody wants to strangle. He's as cold and calculating as his Uncle and cousins. Nobody understands why Val likes him. Unlike his siblings, he was born of a lesser noble which ostracizes him from the family.

Ella: Ella is Val's cousin, the wife of Tris's brother Cesere. Ella is a quiet character, fiercely loyal to herself, her husband (despite him being a douche) and fond of Tris and her adopted kingdom of Spaere.

Octavia: Octavia is Xenia's daughter, a rather sneaky character. She has no qualms about following her uncle's orders. She is married to Philip of Rael as part of an alliance but she is purely in it for the politics.

Merriam: Merriam is Val's mother. They have a very contentious relationship. Val never fully forgave her mother for not raising her and using her to further her own agenda. She is unwelcome at the Ducal court and despised for being grasping. She had once been a favorite at the court but she left after falling pregnant with Val for some slight against the previous Duke.

Guy: Guy is Val's father and far closer to his daughter than her mother. Guy is a rather unimpressive character, no war commander, politician or banker and the youngest of the Duke's siblings. Guy is welcome at court despite his blunderings and takes pride that his daughter is the Duke's favourite.

Characters of TTK ~ Hasdrubal

As usual Hasdrubal has only one thing to say to an invitation as that. He reaches up to snatch a peach off the tree and drops it at Philip's feet with an audible splat on the pink marble.

"I shall take that as a yes."
