Empires of Ashes

Thorval:looks like times will be interesting thies next few years, (and time skip)

*weeks later, a small dracian force arrives at the yarl's home fort, consul agrippa among them*

the fort is open to them and few people pay them any mind as they travel threw the town men and women sharpen their weapons and do daily duties, forges burning bright as they temper blades and tools alike.
Thane: you are welcomed to the hold of jarl Thorval he is expecting you in the great hall.

Agrippa: I am glad, we have had a long journey *he follows, with 2 invicti*

They are lead up to the great hall inside is a hall full of food and drink with the jarlsitting at the head and the hall filled with thanes.
Thorval: I welcome lord agrippa to my hold

he gives a typical dracian salute
"Ave Thorval, Jarl of the dragon's fang"

Thorval: please sit and enjoy

he nods as he sits

Thorval: please eat

"gladly...but first o Jarl, I wish to discuss something in private. something that requires a sober mind to discuss"

Thorval stands from his seat he stands almost teo full heads taller then aggripa. thieval sets warcaller onto his back and gestures lord agrippa ro follow him to the meeting hall.

he follows. the invicti also follow but they do not enter the room, rather remaining at the door

Thorval: so what do you wish to discus (he ooras two glasses of water and hand sone to agrippa)

he takes it
"well Thorval, it is simple. While you have assured me that my force may pass through your lands, and while I do trust you, I didn't get elected consul without making sure I covered my bets. Without making sure the cards were stacked in my favour as it were. And I know that in order to do that in this case I have to offer you something, something that could help prevent any conflicts between us in the future"

Thorval: well say it then

"Very well. Thorval, I offer you my daughter, as a bride for your son"

Thorval: (coughs a bit do to drink going down the wrong pipe) are you sure you havent been hitting the barly juice? thats an odd thing to give to a man you just met

"ah yes but it is not an uncalculated one. I never negotiate with a man without first researching all I can about him. What is more, you may have heard that my fellow consul, Trajan, marches on kelthro from the west through Cymria. His sister, o jarl, is the queen of cymria, and thus ensuring the support of Cymria. It is clearly something that works"

Thorval: they will need to meet before anything is decided, so far you are definitly diffren then most dracian men i have met for one your straightforward in what you wish.

"Makes sense. And you never get anywhere by dancing around the subject"

Thorval: twll that to your senators and my elders. now then we should return to the feast, when should we expect your daughter to arrive?

"a day at most"

Allright then, let us return to the feast

he nods and goes to return to it

The feast goes on well into the night with only 4 fights making it a fairly disciplined affair. the next morning the thengul refil the dracian supplies and send them on their way

before they leave a small force of invicti arrive with Agrippa's daughter

Thorval meets them as they arrive. "so, what is your name young one.

*she takes a deep breath*
"Julia my lord"

Thorval: then be welcome to my hold julia, my sone is currently out on a beast hunt but untill he returns i leave you in the hands of my daughter Felsi (gesturs to a strawberry blond haird girl to his right wearing a light coat of fur, leather pants and a thin layer of chain)
Felsi: it is a pleasure to meet you

julia has black hair btw
"Hello"

felsi: please follow me i will show you to your room, father. (she starts walking to the hall)
Thorval: always new she took after her mother (he leaves to tend to his dutys)

she follows

she is lead to a large room in the easter wing its most promanet feature is a huge pelt rug and a stuffed stag
felsi: this will be your room for your stay.

"wow........thankyou"

Felsi: it is nothing special, tho i have to ask, what is it like in dracia.

"its a lot.....well.....i'm not sure the word"

Felsi: all i hear of it is its senate

"......oh"

Felsi: they spend days argueing over things of little importance and petty disputes. i mean no offence

she chuckles at that

*The messenger and his/her bodyguard make their way to the capital relatively unmolested. Travelling along well established roads they pass through many towns and fortified villages. Having reached the capital they are escorted to the royal palace, and the messenger finds himself face to face with the eldest prince inside the throne room.*

he nods his head respectfully

"The king is out hunting at this moment in time, so you may relay your message to me"

"I bring word from your uncle, your grace"

"And that is?"

"the legions are on the march. He requests passage through your lands, and an audience with your parents"

"An audience I can grant, but I do not have the authority to grant the legions passage."

OOC whos playing the prince?

OOC: I play the Cymraic royalty.
The king, Queen, and the two princes.

OOC sorry that was ment to post a wile ago

OOC: Oh, sorry.
