Relationships

Ray Blackwell: Fellow cat and book enthusiast. “Like, y’know, nyah.” 1/3 of the “Give Sirius More Stress™” gang. Met him when she ran into him playing with the cats in an alleyway. Had a small crush on him, but thought it would be better to just be friends and give Sirius more stress. Helps shut everyone up when things get out of hand during meetings. Loves to joke around with him and Fenrir

Sirius Oswald: (accurate video below)

youtube

On the inside, feels super bad for Sirius, even though she adds to his stress. Very grateful to have him near when things get very bad. Thanks Mom.

Luka Clemence: 1/2 of the “Reason why Ileana will someday have a heart attack” group. Ileana knew Luka before she joined the army, he use to see her in the Central Quarter when he went out on patrol. They hang out sometimes to just talk and bake sweets. Would sometimes chat with him and Edgar when the two jacks where hanging out in the Central Quarter. She helps Luka hide if Jonah was ever near. He helped her join the army when she asked and kept asking “Are you sure about this?” Did not realize she had fallen for him until she was in to deep.

Seth Hyde: Sister Seth!!! Seth feels like the big sister, brother and father she never had, all in one. Seth likes to visit sometimes and just talk as they braid each other’s hair while listening to music. Ileana feels like she can just relaaaaaaaaaaaax during their girl-talks.

Jonah Clemence: Oh goat cheese, why. “’Who do you think you’re talking to?’ Who do YOU think you’re talking to?” This man, someone get this man away from her before she punches the crap out of him. Ileana would see the way he acts from afar in the Central Quarter and just roll her eyes.

Edgar Bright: Last 1/2 of the “Reason why Ileana will someday have a heart attack” group. He would talk (or well, tease) to her while on patrol in the Central Quarter. Even after Ily joined the Black Army, the two jacks and the new Black Army soldier would hang out on their days off. “Oh, so you joined the Black Army? I must say that I’m not very surprised. Well then, it will be a pleasure to see you on the battle field.” “Indubitably.” At some point, the teasing got fun and she wanted a bit more. Oh fork.

Zero: Doesn’t really know him, but from Edgar tells her and the few times they have interacted, he seems like a kind and honest person. Feels super sorry that he has to see Edgar everyday 24/7.

Kyle Ash: Drinking Club ™. Ileana sometimes goes out for a drink with Kyle and his drinking buddies. Doesn’t know that much about him but he seems pretty chill and smart.

Blanc Lapin: He would sometimes help Ileana with her job before she joined the Black Army. The only one she can have a normal conversation with when they go out for drinks with Kyle and Oliver. Ily feels like she can rely on him for whatever because he knows who she is.

Harr Silver: Ran into him once when she was out in the forest. They didn’t say anything to each other and just kind of walked away from each other. The next time they met up, he said one word,” Magic.” Harr could tell there was something special about Ily and she decided to tell him. Harr told her his story and agreed to a request the woman had, “Would you help me practice my magic repelling in case I ever need it.” They meet in private to practice and share tea.

Loki Genetta: Excusez-moi? Ily would sometimes see Loki during their drinking nights. Where did he come from, where did he go? Where did he come from, someone please tell me because it’s kind of weird. Harr better keep this boy safe

Mousse Atlas: Fellow sleep fiend. Once at a cafe, she saw him just fall asleep, right there, in the middle of the afternoon. “Me too buddy.” Another time, she was eating some cheese and crackers, and she looked up to see him eying the cheese. Ileana decided to give him some, and now they occasionally hang out for Wine and Cheese Club™.

Dalim Tweedle: Saw him sneaking around at night one time. Nope. Nope. Nope.

Dean Tweedle: Ileana saw him once at a shop and he gave her a nasty look. Okay then.

Personality

Ileana is a loud, a little bit awkward at times, feisty woman. Determined to run into the battle field in order to fight for her beliefs. She deeply cares about her friends/everyone she knows and would do anything to protect them and the world she has come to love.

When she finally landed, she saw the white-haired man staring at her. He introduced himself as Blanc Lapin and told her to follow him. They talked in secret and Blanc gave her a quick summary about this new land, Cradle. He hold her about her ability to repeal magic and about the armies. It would be 30 days until the hole would open again, then she could go back. Blanc helped her get a small, cozy place to call home for a while until the next full moon. Ileana spent a few days thinking and reading about this place. She didn’t have any money and she didn’t think she would fit in if she worked at the shops around what they called the Central Quarter, so Ily made some fliers and started a tutoring service for a low price.The more she read and experienced everyday in Cradle, the less she wanted to go back. She met a mysterious man named Harr Silver and asked him if he would help her with her abilities. The young woman met up with Blanc about a week before the full moon and tell him that she was not planning on returning. Her tutoring service was doing great and she had made some great friends. The White Rabbit could see the look in her eyes and didn’t go against it. The more she lived and read everyday, the more she grew fond of this wonderland. She promised that she would protect it if anything bad ever happened. Then, things with the armies were staring to heat up a bit and she decided to join the Black Army with the help of her friend, Luka Clemence. She decided to keep her small home in the Central Quarter, no matter how far from HQ it would be. She got up early, worked hard each and everyday, making her way up the ranks to 5 of Spades. Ileana also kept practicing her special abilities whenever she could. She was going to keep her promise.

Kingdom- Prologue

Gajeel has had the dream about dying for the blue haired girl for as long as he can remember. Which is weird, since he’s never met anyone with blue hair in his life.

Levy has always loved myths and legends. So much so, in fact, that she was currently getting her master’s in mythological studies.

What neither of them realized was that they were living a legend all their own.

AKA the one with a knight, a princess, and a curse that keeps bringing them together just to pull them apart.

Would y’all believe I actually wrote this before when I said I would? I KNOW I’M SHOCKED TOO! Honestly, I just got super excited lol This is just the prologue, and I’m kinda hoping to get Chapter 1 up by the end of this week when this was originally going to happen. Also, I’m not gonna do a set deadline this time since clearly I can’t stick to them. I’m going to post at least once a week on this one, but I think I’m just gonna update whenever it’s done as opposed to on a certain day. (This is good because maybe I can work out more than one update a week this way. WHO KNOWS THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!) Anyway, LET’S START THIS JOURNEY SHALL WE?! (Also sorry for such a crap summary? I have no idea how to explain this one without giving too much away lol Don’t be shocked if you see that change.)

********************************

Once Upon A Time

If you asked the people of his kingdom, they would tell you that King Dreyar was a kind and just king. Where many kings in bordering lands ruled their kingdoms with cold disregard to those considered beneath them, Fiore’s king listened to his subjects. He believed a king whose people were suffering while he sat on his throne was no king at all. Yes, he was a well respected king, which was why when the rumors that the King had an illegitimate daughter started to spread, they were widely disregarded by his people, for King Dreyar loved his wife, Queen Kearia Dreyar. What his people didn’t know that he had a first love.

As a prince, Makarov Dreyar was of the rambunctious sort. It seemed as if it were everyday that the young man would go missing from the castle just to be dragged back by his guard Metalicana to receive his lashings from his father. The servants often gossiped amongst themselves, wondering if the prince was a bit thick in the head, or if he just got some sick satisfaction out of driving the king crazy. They tried fruitlessly to get Metalicana to tell them. They’d bribe him with extra portions of dinner, offered him money, and on the odd occasion offered him a daughter to be his future wife, and yet Metalicana kept tight lipped about what it was his charge was doing when he disappeared from the castle. All they could get out of him was that he answered to the king and Prince Makarov alone.

What the servants didn’t know was that even the king himself couldn’t get Metalicana to tell him where the prince ran off to. The knight had been the youngest to come through the ranks, becoming a part of the royal guard at the tender age of 17, and was often referred to as the Iron Dragon. He was used to being regarded with contempt and fear, and yet the prince had welcomed him as an equal. While it may have only been because Metalicana was the only other person the same age as Makarov in the castle, it led the knight to pledge his whole allegiance to the prince.

This meant that everyday when Makarov slipped out of the castle with his horse and rode to the forest on the outskirts of town to meet with the blue haired girl named Ileana McGarden, the Iron Dragon would wait until as late in the day as he could to go and bring him back. Everyday the knight would ask the prince if it was worth the beating he received, and each day the prince would simply respond that love was worth any punishment.

This continued until just before Makarov’s 21st birthday, when his father fell gravely ill. The ailing king’s final wish, was for his son to marry Lady Kearia Blackthorn of Vistarion and to see his son take over the throne. The day before the wedding was the only time Metalicana did not bring the prince home.

***

Ten years later, the Iron Dragon was killed, leaving behind his son Gajeel to be raised by the King. He followed in his father’s footsteps, becoming Makarov’s most trusted knight by the time he was 18 years old.

“Do you wish me to come with you?” Gajeel asked, his wild black hair falling over the black iron of his armor that mimicked his father’s. His mouth was set in a scowl that the king was all too familiar worth. He really was just like his father.

“No, Gajeel, I can do this alone,” Makarov said dismissively as he pulled his cloak on over his own armor. He’d received the message from an inky black raven, which could only mean that it was from the oracle, and she preferred to meet alone.

“But sir,” the knight started to protest before the king raised his hand to silence him.

“Even your father didn’t keep such a tight leash on me, my boy,” he chuckled. “If your old man could trust me enough to let me meet with the oracle, you can too. Besides, don’t you ever take a break?” It was a rhetorical question. He of all people knew that Gajeel didn’t ever take any time off. Gajeel laughed humorlessly.

“Fine, but your better let the queen know that this was what you wanted before you go so if you get killed she knows it wasn’t because I didn’t try.” This elicited a bark of laughter from the king. Fucking smartass, he thought to himself as he pushed his way through the door, letting it shut behind him and ending his conversation with the knight.

***

It was impossibly quiet in the forest as Makarov tied his horse to a tree just outside of the clearing he knew the oracle would be waiting for him. He’d learned quite some time ago to not bring his horse any closer, and he had the scar through his eyebrow to remind him just in case he ever forgot. Carefully stepping through the trees and trying his best to avoid making too much noise, he finally reached the clearing. There was a 50-foot radius that had been cleared of any forest and left nothing but a twisted metal stand holding a black marble basin. Standing at the basin, was the oracle. Her skin was a pale, almost translucent white and her silver hair glittered in the moonlight and fell down the back of the simple black dress that hung loosely from her body. A milky film covered her eyes, leaving her blinded, though Makarov often wondered if that were true. At the current moment in time, he’d swear she was staring right through him.

“Makarov,” she greeted. Her voice echoed around them, filling the space and suddenly making him feel small.

“Oracle,” he said back, stepping further into the clearing until he was in front of her and the basin she stood at. Without another word, she reached her hands towards him and gently place them both on his face.

“It’s good to see you, old friend.” A small smile touched her lips. At least, Makarov thought he saw a hint of a smile. He’d never actually seen her show any emotions in all the years he’d known her.

“What is it you need to show me?” Her hands fell away from his face and returned to either side of the basin. A ripple caused the surface of the black liquid inside it to dance.

“Death.” The single word she uttered was electric and the forest around them rustled with a sudden gust of wind. It wasn’t the first time she’d seen death in his future, and yet an ominous feeling had started to work its way through his body. There was something different about this time.

“Whose death?” The question nearly choked him as he forced it out. She started to slowly pass her hands over the liquid, causing the black to fade away into a pearly white.

“Your daughter’s,” she whispered as she looked up from the liquid, her stare cutting him to the bone. Ice started to run through his veins as he struggled to breathe.

“I... I don’t have a daughter,” he struggled to say. Try as they might, he and the queen had been unable to have a child. It weighed on them both but he was able to bury himself in his work as king. Not to mention Gajeel was like a son to him. But they did not have any children.

“You do, Makarov,” the seer’s voice said forcefully as she slammed her hands down on the sides of the basin. Suddenly, he was transported back to that day all those years ago when he had seen Ileana for the last time. The memory caused a sharp pain of sorrow to erupt through his chest as he saw Ileana crying in his arms. The vision melted away as his past self leaned down to kiss away her tears. A tear fell down his face and landed in the liquid before he even had the chance to realize it was there.

“Show me,” was all he said, his voice breaking slightly.

The oracle returned to waving her hands over the deep basin between them, causing the liquid to start to spin into a milky white whirlpool. Makarov watched intently, mesmerized by the swirling liquid that spun faster and faster. Colors started to bleed from the outside edges of the basin and suddenly, it came to a stop with one crystal clear image reflected in the surface. The face of a blue haired young woman with honey colored eyes stared back at him. He felt himself reach towards the image, unable to look away from the woman’s image in the basin.

“She looks just like her mother,” he managed to breathe. His chest was throbbing with pain as he took her in. All this time, and he’d never known. Reaching his hand forward, his fingers ghosted across the top of the liquid, barely disrupting the surface. The touch caused image to fall away, leaving nothing but the inky black liquid it had originally been. “Who knows about this?” Makarov demanded. His tears had dried and his eyes now burned. The seer returned his glare with her own blind one. She placed a hand on the side of the basin and paused as if she were listening to someone speak.

“No one yet,” she finally said, her hollow voice echoing through the forest around them. Makarov was infinitely aware of the final word. The sound of it sent a shot of cold fear unlike anything he’d ever felt down his spine. There was a finality in that word. Someone would find out about the blue haired woman in the forest, and they would kill her.

What neither the seer or the king noticed, was the pair of purple eyes that watched them from the shadows.

A 30-year-old law that Ronald Reagan hated could end Trump's Middle East peace push before it starts

AP Photo/Evan Vucci

The State Department may close the Palestine Liberation Organization’s mission in Washington, DC.

In response, the Palestinians threatened to suspend relations with the US.

The State Department says it’s just following the law — and it is.

Three decades after US president Ronald Reagan criticized an anti-Palestinian law as an overreach by Congress into the executive branch’s ability to conduct diplomacy, the same legislation now imperils yet-unborn peace talks under the Trump administration.

On Friday the State Department informed the Palestinian Authority it may close the Palestine Liberation Organization’s mission in Washington, DC, because Ramallah is pursuing the prosecution of Israelis at the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

In response, the Palestinians threatened to suspend relations with the US should their office in the capital be closed. Their DC office has acted as the unofficial Palestinian embassy in the US, and has been an important symbol of evolving US-Palestinian relations.

The State Department says it’s just following the law — and it is.

In December 2015, Congress passed a provision (Page 540) that called for the PLO mission in Washington to be shut if the Palestinians initiate or support an ICC investigation against Israelis.

And in his 2017 address to the United Nations General Assembly, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas clearly violated this clause:

“We have also called on the International Criminal Court, as is our right, to open an investigation and to prosecute Israeli officials” over Israeli settlement activity, he said.

So now the Trump administration is a bind. Either it follows the letter of the law, which could harm the declared interests of US foreign policy to support peace in the Middle East, and may foil the president’s desire to strike “the ultimate deal” between Israelis and Palestinians, or the right-wing White House will have to infuriate its base and go to the Palestinians’ defense.

How did this pickle come to be? And more importantly, is there a way out?

Trump versus Reagan

In 1987, Congress sought to rid US soil of any PLO institutions, which included a United Nations mission located in New York City and a Palestinian information bureau in DC. At the time, the PLO was a US-designated terror organization, backing attacks against Israelis.

Though Congress’s move against the PLO was a just a small clause wedged into a massive bill, Reagan specifically called out the anti-PLO provision, arguing it was unconstitutional because it limited the president’s diplomatic powers.

“The right to decide the kind of foreign relations, if any, the United States will maintain is encompassed by the President’s authority under the Constitution,” Reagan wrote.

Reagan would have had to veto the entire bill in order to squash the anti-PLO provision. Instead, he sufficed with saying that at the time he had “no intention of establishing diplomatic relations with the PLO,” and therefore no “constitutional conflict is created by this provision.”

Despite the bill becoming law, ultimately the US couldn’t close the Palestinian mission to the UN because this would have violated international law. The DC information office, however, was closed.

Handout / Getty Images

Fast-forward to 1993. Israel and the PLO have just signed the Oslo Peace Accords. The Palestinians have sworn to end decades of terror attacks against Israel and are slated to receive their own state in the coming years. At this historic occasion, the US Congress allowed the president to suspend all sanctions against the PLO as long as the Palestinians stay faithful to commitments made in the accords. The suspension would have to be renewed every six months. This act by Congress allowed the PLO to open up a diplomatic mission in DC.

In 1997, Congress made it easier for the president to waive the sanctions against the PLO: The president would now just have to say the waiver was in the US’s national security interest with no explanation needed. Again, a waiver would have to be signed every six months.

This was the case until 2011, when the Palestinians joined UNESCO and declared they wanted full-membership status in the UN.

In response, Congress slipped in a new provision into the annual State and Foreign Operations Bill, a massive piece of legislation in which Congress sets aside money for a large portion of the government’s operations.

Again, the anti-PLO provision was just a small droplet in an ocean of laws, this time approved by former president Barack Obama.

Now, if the Palestinians obtained full membership status in the United Nations outside of an agreement with Israel, the president would be unable to waive sanctions against the PLO, unless “the Palestinians have entered into direct and meaningful negotiations with Israel.”

The “it’s in the national security interest” excuse would no longer suffice.

After the Palestinians joined the ICC in 2015, Congress, without any public debate or headlines, slipped in a similar provision into the December 2015 foreign ops bill, which was over 800 pages long.

The provision calls for the waiver to be revoked should the Palestinians “initiate an International Criminal Court (ICC) judicially authorized investigation, or actively support such an investigation” against Israel.

This quiet evolution of a law that was controversially passed in 1987, before the Palestinians and Israelis had ever officially negotiated over peace, now threatens to abort a yet-unborn round of talks.

Cat out of the bag

Lara Friedman, an expert in US law regarding Israelis and Palestinians and the president of the Foundation for Middle East Peace, said that when she heard Abbas’s speech at the UN this year, she immediately understood it might have repercussions.

Friedman has for years followed closely all news and legislation on Capitol Hill that relates to Israeli-Palestinian issues. While reading the December 2015 foreign ops bill that added the ICC provision, she recalled thinking, “Holy crap, where did this come from?”

She wasn’t sure if anyone else had noticed the ticking time bomb planted silently into the bill.

Should the PLO mission in DC be closed, she said, it would take the US relationship with the Palestinians back 30 years.

Friedman surmised that may be what the provision’s authors intended: moving the clock back to the pre-Oslo era, when the idea of a Palestinian state was more or less unthinkable in Washington.

Friedman can’t say for sure who was responsible for the ICC provision placed into the 2015 foreign ops bill. She called it a “black box process.”

Around that time, three Republican lawmakers introduced bills attacking the Palestinians’ connection to the ICC.

First was Trent Franks (Arizona), who in a May 2015 bill, said the Palestinians joining the ICC “profoundly undermines prospects for mutual recognition, dialogue, and reconciliation” with Israelis, and “hinders the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians and thus represents a threat to the regional interests of the United States and the security of its allies.”

Then in 2016, after the passing of the December 2015 foreign ops bill, Ted Cruz (Texas) and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (Florida) introduced two identical bills, calling on the US to shut the Palestinians’ mission in DC should they join the ICC.

REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst

They argued that the Palestinian mission should be closed not in order to roll the clock back to the pre-Oslo era, but rather because the Palestinians will have violated the Oslo accords, which were the reason sanctions against the PLO were waived in the first place.

“The Palestinian initiation of an International Criminal Court investigation, or active support for such an investigation, that subjects Israeli nationals to an investigation for alleged crimes against Palestinians, would violate the Palestinians’ commitment to not change the status of the West Bank and Gaza Strip,” the lawmakers wrote in their separate bills.

At the same time, however, both also argued the PLO office in DC should be closed regardless of the ICC matter, because it “is in the national security interests of the United States.” This is so, they argued, because the PLO is “allegedly used by Abbas to fund everything from his international campaign against Israel to compensation to the families of Palestinian terrorists.”

At the end of 2015, the Obama State Department rebuffed demands by some in Congress to close the PLO office over a wave of Palestinian attacks against Israelis allegedly encouraged by the Palestinian leadership. (Abbas at the time bragged that his security services were preventing the some of the stabbing, shooting and car ramming attacks.)

The Obama administration argued at the time that closing the PLO office was not in the US’s best interests.

“We believe that closing the PLO office would be detrimental to our ongoing efforts to calm tensions between Israelis and Palestinians, advance a two-state solution and strengthen the US-Palestinian partnership,” then-State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau said.

Perhaps Trump’s team could have tried to interpret Abbas’s UNGA statements in a way that wouldn’t violate the 2015 ICC provision, said Friedman. But now that the cat is out of the bag, she said, there would no simple solution that would put it back in.

There is currently no avenue for the Palestinians to enter into “direct and meaningful negotiations with Israel.” The US, by its own admission, is still working on a way to bring the two sides back to the table for the first time since peace talks fell apart in 2014, and there is no timeline yet for the process to bear fruit, the State Department has said.

Friedman suggested the president could challenge the anti-PLO law’s constitutionality, as Reagan did. She thinks, however, that this is unlikely given the ideology of the President’s advisers, such as US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, who is openly against the establishment of a Palestinian state.

And if the Trump administration now tried to walk back its statement that Ramallah was violating the ICC provision, she said, “there would be tremendous backlash from people trying to turn the clock back to pre-Oslo.”

The real issue she said, however, is not the executive branch, but Congress, which is fine with passing anti-PLO laws, but doesn’t want “to spend the political capital to repeal laws” for the Palestinians.
