Empires of Ashes

"I cant answer that one, you'd have to ask one of the centurions who picks em out"

"You probably find that as you gain experience in combat, you are given more and more responsibility. To survive with responsibility means you have to be smart. The longer you survive the higher you rise in the ranks."

He nods at that before taking another sip

"Curious about Cymraic life?"

"Somewhat"

"What do you want to know?"

"hmm...well, how is it different to Dracia, from your perspective"

"I've never been to Dracia"

"Well I hope you do someday, but I meant the culture. From what you've seen of us so far."

"You lot are far more disciplined and methodical in combat"

"That all?"

"We're far more 'barbaric' I guess. To be honest the only Dracian I've been paying any attention to has been your father"

he chuckles
"He's hard to ignore"

"True"

"Do you think he lives up to his....admittedly mighty reputation?"

"I personally believe it is representative of when he was in his prime, not how he is now"

"and now?"

OOC: so according to my dentist, i have more massive saliva production than an infant whos teeth are just growing out.... which irritated her to no end while struggling with the tide to plug my tooth...

I must find a profession to make use of this talent!

OOC: wow....

"He's overrated, but that's mostly linked to me disagreeing with his strategy"

"Perhaps. He does things his way, and honestly its never failed him"

"I guess"

"So....what's life like in Cymria then?"

"For me it was fairly nice, being the prince dies have it's advantages. Namely in education and training. Day to day life is...fun. Wake up, eat, go running, meet with the Druids and study, run home, eat, meet with my instructor, train, train, train, go home and eat, then it's doing my duties as the Head of the Navy"

"Sounds.....Difficult"

"I said it wasn't too easy"

"Suppose so"
OOC oi matt
i got an army list i wanna pitch at you
well, 2 army lists
may I get yer input?

OOC: Am on steam

"But yeah that's my day to day life"

"Fairs. Mine's fairly typical for a legionarry, no special treatment"

OOC: also, apparently, although they are practically unheard of in the imperium at large, there actually are canon, imperial cat people in 40K....
I dont know how to react, really...

OOC yeah i knew this
bloody furries

"Fun"

"...so now what?"

"Do you want to come with me back to Cymria or will you stay here with your father?

"You're leaving the war?"

"Cymria is in civil war, as the heir I must come to the defence of my father and his claim"

"...If you merely ask my father, I'm sure he will provide aid"

"Dracian forces would make things worse. My people are not too fond of yours, memories of your occupation still run strong"

"Not even auxilia?"

"I can't say, but this is an oppurtunity for me to prove myself as a leader"

Ooc. Anyone knows if there some deranged chapter of Animarines (anime marines)(spawned by 4dchan, no doubt) in 40k? That should be an entertaining wiki page to read

"Cant hurt surely"

"Probably find it would, this bloody civil war was caused by me joining your father"

"...oh"

"Yeah, besides I have next to no soldiers with me. My presence won't affect the outcome of this war, what is 100 men to multiple legions?"

"...I dont know if I should tell you this but..."

"Hmm?"

"I overheard father mention he was going to give you this city"

"I doubt that, Dracia controlling this city would give her a secure foothold in Kelthro. And potentially a vital staging point for future campaigns, not to mention the potential agricultural and mineral wealth of the surrounding areas. He'd be a fool to give me the city, plus Cymria is in no state to hold it should the war get worse. I also think that the Kelthrovi general would be less than co-operative if his city is given to me. Especially since he is a claimant on the Kelthrovi crown and this a potential ally for your people."

"Perhaps, but this place is but a pathway to Stracia for us"

"I don't think your father even has the authority to give me the city. He'd have to go through tge senate and I doubt they'd be overly find of that idea"

"Depends if he takes stracia"
