Standing on the balcony overlooking the city Lady Raina could not help but smile. For the first time in a very long time the world was at peace. While it was a tenuous one, it was still peace. Still the city that her family had been charged with protecting stood as a beacon to the world. A great center of learning, magic, culture, and economic power. Few other cities around the world could claim the same and none stood as beautiful as the Jewel of Dosmuebar did. Sapphire City had stood for a millenia and would continue to be if Raina had anything to do with it. She looked down to the courtyard before the great palace and watched as the many citizens of the city worked towards setting up for the festivals that were to happen. Walking through the archway into her private study, Raina sat down and reviewed the terms of peace that were to be signed later this week. A treaty that would set the world back on the path of unity rather than chaos. This would treaty was to establish a great council of all the noble houses of Dosmuebar as a deliberative body with 5 of the Great Houses serving as its leaders. The Houses of Bloodburn, Whitemain, Odinsson, Lordorim and Tarverro would be the initial signatories as all other houses in some way or another belonged to each of them. Raina continued to read through all the legal jargon that was part of the document. It would in turn be the foundation of all laws that the realm was built upon. Laws that would apply to all and would be consistent from one continent to the next. A knock came at the door, and upon beckoning them to enter, a young Aetius man bowed standing before Lady Raina, "My Lady, we have seen sightings of ships approaching the Isle from all directions all bearing the sigils of each house. It appears that most if not all the heads of each noble house has made their way here." Pulling out a satchel, he laid a folder containing more reports on her desk, "Here are the reports that you asked for. Was there anything else that I can assist you with this evening?" Smiling at the news that he brought, "That will be all Ethan, make sure that the Lord Chamberlain has rooms ready. I am quite sure he has already done so, but let him know that they will be in use soon." As Ethan was leaving the study Raina stopped him "Also let my guards know that I am going out for a flight. Heavens know that some of these nobles will not be comfortable seeing a phoenix flying about." Young Ethan bowed before exiting the rooms. Taking off the circlet that she often wore that was adorned with several large sapphires, Raina began a brisk walk to the balcony. Stepping up onto the railing, she slowly leaned forward and fell. An older maid looked up from down on the street as Lady Raina fell and was about to scream for help, when all that came out was a small squeak as she watched the body of the girl that was falling suddenly flash in a ball of light and out emerged a large bird that appeared as if was on fire. Feathered in colors of red, orange, and gold Raina dived till she was almost about to hit the courtyard below. Letting out a loud cry, she opened her wings and gave several hard flaps of her large wings that spanned almost 20 feet. She was one of the largest of her race, only a gryphon or one of the great eagles could compare to her size. Flapping harder she rose even higher till from the ground she appeared to be the size of a hawk. Elation spread throughout her body as she continued to glide from updraft to updraft. From her vantage point she could see the great many ships making their way to Sapphire Isle and to the Jewel of Dosmuebar. Funny, she had never actually met one of the patriarchs of the great houses that she would soon be sharing a table with. She slowly began a circled descent back down towards the city, her young mind racing. |

As civilians gathered in the market place to finish up preparations of the arrival of the great noble houses, not a cloud was set in the sky. A perfect ambiance for the small isle. The waters shimmered with a cacophony of colors as the rays of the rising sun illuminated the variety of jewels that were littered throughout the Sapphire Isle. A soft breeze had set its path through the city, heading from the South-East, almost as if it were coming from Quagavarth itself. That is when the first cloud appeared in the sky. Following the breeze, the small cloud was forming over Quagavarth, and slowly but surely making its way towards the small isle. Unbeknownst to all, that cloud carried the uninvited guest of today's festivities, an elf who would undoubtedly be up to no good.

Arriving at the Sapphire City, Ragnar Odinsson slowly began walking the streets with his small number of personal guards. Instead of heading straight to where the gathering was to be, he began looking at the shops and little market stalls. Never being one to not mingle with locals, he makes it a point to inquire about things as he visits the shops and stalls. As he stands at a stall whom the owner is selling jewelry, Ragnar can see a single strange cloud formed in the otherwise clear sky. "Huh, that's strange." but then puts it out of his mind as he turns back to the seller "How much for this one?" and the elf woman smiles "Oh, that's only twenty pieces." Nodding, Ragnar agrees to it and pays the woman and he puts the necklace into his pocket "Thank you lady, have a blessed day." and he and his guards move on. As Ragnar walks, he sees the destination in the distance. Admiring the ancient buildings construction, it's very different than what's back where he lives. He says to nobody in particular "The engineering and magic needed to make this place never ceases to amaze me. It's a shame such techniques aren't common place these days. We all could benefit from such beautiful construction." |

After landing and turning back into her human form, Raina began to review the constitution that would govern the future of the realm. "A United Kingdom. Hmph. Who would have thought after these past years of fighting, intrigue and such that we would finally see some peace." Let me just review this once more before the others get here.

Oxyn moved closer towards the capitol of the Sapphire Isle, still hovering above in the form of a cloud. He could see a large bird soaring closely to his cloud. He watched as the bird eloquently soared above the city, a beautifully vibrant bird, one whose size had no parallel. Oxyn decided to makehis initial descent. As his cloud got lower into the city, a small fog rolled in, adding to the ominous aesthetic that Oxyn had grown to love. The fog thickened, lowering the visibility to just a few feet. Just as Oxyn's cloud transformed into the thick fog is when the great Lord Ragnar was pulling for into the docks. Indeed, Oxyn could solemnly swear that with the arrival of the great Lords and Ladies of Dosmuebar, he would be up to no good. |
