Serpentis Family/Erik Eyolf/Serria
Erik was waiting on the great stairs with a small cortege, observing the low waters of the Sirion River. The fishermen lamented, waiting for better times. Farmers lamented but a new flooding would leave the land fertile again and in Avamar the people remained happy with the markets working while the granaries still had some food protected by guards. In a moment he saw the boat come up, bringing his younger daughter from Al Amarah. The servants rushed to help land the young girl.
The Silver Dragon wore a ceremonial pardalide made of wolf skin over his shoulders and the light armor. Facing the little girl he should be huge, standing proud with a sword in his belt. With impressive statues of himself behind and a retinue of servants and priestesses. In the end, he smiled and leaned one hand on the sword's pommel, kneeling as the Cavalier he had been in the past.
Erik Eyolf: "Welcome to Avamar, little wing. Let me see you, young princess!"
He stand there with pride in his eyes while a priestess approached the girl, putting a klaft striped in white and red patterns on her head, adorning a silver crown with serpent head and ruby eyes. After that she showed a small golden box, a gift. Opening it she revealed the makeup she skillfully handled. The girl then had her upper eye-lids painted black with black kohl and the lower ones were colored green with a mixture of green malachite. Erik finally got up and grabbed his daughter's hand.
Erik Eyolf: "My young Serria, Goddess of the Sirion Delta. Do you like it? We have much to talk, my little one. Come with me..."
The Duke of Avamar then walked with his daughter along the temple corridors. Everything there was magnificent and it was precisely the impression he wanted to cause. The magical glimpse. However he couldn't save her from singing a silly song that some commoners used to sing.
Once there was this kid who
Got into an accident and couldn't come to the fields
But when he finally came back
His hair had turned from black into bright white
He said that it was from when
The carts had smashed him so hard
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Once there was this girl who
Wouldn't go and swim with the girls in the river
But when they finally made her
They saw birthmarks all over her body
She couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just been there
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
But both the girl and boy were glad
'Cause one kid had it worse than that
'Cause then there was this boy whose
Parents made him come directly home right after the fields
And when they went to there temples
They shook and lurched all over the temple floor
He couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just gone there...
