Walking down an old mountain path with mother, Alma was suddenly stopped by her mother who shouted in a thunderous voice "On your knees now Girl". Drawn back by the sudden outburst Alma quickly obeyed her mothers orders and as she turned to her mother she could see tears raging from her mothers remaining good eye.

As she lowered herself the the ground following her mothers actions she could hear Chi muttering to herself as she drew her sword and drove it into the ground in front of her "My Queen, My Queen...... you have finally returned to me." Alma notices that the more her mother spoke the ground turned to mud "After all these years you have returned ..... I have worked so hard yet I have failed you .... Forgive me."

Alma was shocked to see her mother acting in such away, for since she was reunited, she has only received harsh lessons and grooming, but this was a frightful sight to the young Alma to see the woman, her mother who was a compassionate as a sheet of ice fall to the ground in flowing tears. She still did not know would could drive her mother to such a state, her only thought was that age had finally gotten to her mother and this might be the sign that she should remain at home from now one.

After spotting a shadow descend on the path in front of them, Alma raided her gaze and could see a figure in front of them blocking the path. Behind the shadowy silhouette the light from the sun could be seen rising behind it and a golden outline could be seen surrounding the figure. As Alma looked closer, the mysterious figure came into view but it was no woman that she could recognize but it seems her mother knew her very well.

Unless they were both seeing things thought Alma.

Iris looked at the two women knelt before her, especially at the noble crone, and suddenly felt very young and inexperienced. All the elation and power she had been experiencing by walking through the mountains without hiding, without the cold from the north, and most importantly without pretending to be someone else... all of it vanished before that woman's tears. She bent and touched the crone's shoulder.

"Milady, milady, please don't kneel before me and please don't cry. I'm not worthy of your tears. I'm sure Queen Ilya did forgive you for everything, my father says she was really kind. Please, don't cry. I'm not her, you see?"

As the tears didn't stop, Iris thought of something Gavin always said, and got a lock of her dark hair in front of the woman's eyes. "Look, look, my hair isn't even the right color!"

Reaching out Chi grabbed the young woman's hand and placed her other hand upon Iris's cheek.

"Ilya, you look so beautiful and so young. It is as though time has been bent to your will."

Seeing that words could not convince the old woman, Iris grabbed a lock of her hair and dangled it in front of Chi. Sadly the old woman was lost. Reaching up Chi grabbed her hair. "My Queen, I ...."

Worried that her mother had gone insane Alma frantically tried to snap her mother out of the confusion. "Mother!, Mother!" Alma began shaking Chi. "Mother this is not your Queen, She has said so herself. Think mother, could Iliya be this young?" Turning to Iris Alma asked "My lady, who is your father. Maybe this will help my mother regain composure."

As moments passed Chi fell silent but the teas has yet to stop. All the wile still holding the woman hand.

Iris was at a loss.

"My father is Ilya's son Gavin... Did you know him? He told us to come south to these mountains and become knights, we'd be safe here. Wylla and I." Looking at the younger lady, she asked. "Well, actually, I'm sorry, but who are the two of you?"

"This is my mother Chi Motosuwa and I am Alma Motosuwa. I am sorry but I do not know your father personally but I have heard many stories from my mother about when he was younger." Turing to attending to her mother who was now doing better and coming to her senses.

"Gavin" Said chi in a calmer voice as she looked closer and focused on Iris. "Your ..... Little Gavin's daughter. You so beautiful and look so much like her"

Turing to Iris, Alma could feel something that she hadn't felt before. Doing well to hide her jealousy, she was shocked she could have such a feeling. Her mother had given this stranger more compassion in a brief moment then all the months she has spent by her side.

Putting her anger aside she asked Iris for help lifting her mother from the ground and continue there walk. "Lady Iris, would you kindly help me raise my mother, we are making our way to Hernepoole to meet with Lord Marlo." Almas face could be seen turning a little red as she spoke Marlo's name.

"Gavin" Said chi in a calmer voice as she looked closer and focused on Iris. "Your ..... Little Gavin's daughter. You so beautiful and look so much like her"

Iris saw the love in those eyes and almost cried. She whispered "Thank you, it's an honor", as Alma hurriedly spoke.

"Lady Iris, would you kindly help me raise my mother, we are making our way to Hernepoole to meet with Lord Marlo." Alma's face could be seen turning a little red as she spoke Marlo's name. The blushing wasn't lost on Iris. She smiled to the younger woman and helped bring the crone up to her feet.

"Sure, lady Alma. My sister told me to go to Hernepoole too, so can I join you on your way?"

After she started talking, she couldn't stop.

"It's nice to meet you. I heard a lot about the Motosuwas, for they married a Bluelake and helped our Ilya a lot during her reign." She lowered her voice "I think it might even have been your mother... can you confirm this to me later? If so... we're family! I'd be so glad!"

As they drew closer the the region of Hernepoole, Alma was sickened by the feeling of jealousy boiling up inside of her. During there whole trip her mother did not even acknowledge her one, for all her attention was on the young Bluelake. Alma was slightly relieved when Iris would begin speaking to her, thought the conversation would be interrupted when Chi began telling stories of Iris's grandmother and her children.

For the conversations the young girls did share it was full of laughs and excitement.

" It is true, my mother is the one married into the Bluelake family. My father is Marcus Bluelake, we lived in Menedor .....". Alma paused for a moment to try and push past the bad memories she had when her father and herself had to go into hiding after Falasan peasants started to rebel in Coria. "I was in Menedor when Lord Ham found me and told me about my mother and that she was in this realm, safely we had to leave my father behind to watch over the estate but he is doing well and we write all the time ".

" Lord Marlo is a relative of Lord Ham and he...." Alma was quickly interrupted by her mother "At times that man Ham is a fool and is misguided but he is a true friend of your grandmothers" .

Alma stopped talking and let her mother have way with the conversation, it mattered little because they would soon be in Hernepoole.

"Heroes, that is what we are. None could compare to us and your grandmother was inspiration to us all to keep fighting."

They arrived chatting like that to Hernepoole. The first thing Iris wanted to do was go to the shrine and pay her respects, so Chi and Alma followed her. Chi was anxious to leave, though, and Iris had the surprise expectation of Chi's reaction when she met Wylla at the guildhouse, so they left quickly. When they got to the main square, Iris realised people were almost jumping at the sight of her, and the crone was smiling like she had a secret. When a man on horseback almost ran a child over from the start of seeing her face, Iris grabbed his reigns and looked around.

"This has to stop. Please look at me as much as you want. I'm not a ghost, and I'm probably not who you think I am... Lady Chi, can you explain it to them?"

As the women reached the shrine Chi was more lively than she had been in years. She explained to the women that she was the one to create this sight and that she was the previous lord of Hernepoole, the same region that Iris's grandmother once reigned over. She did her best to skip over the conversation of how it belonged to Eston at the time and this was after the fall of her realm. As began talking about how the two statues in the region were created to honor the Falasani and its allies, a familiar but unknown figure to Chi appeared. As the new woman got closer Iris walked up to her and hugged the woman tightly.

Ilya turned to Chi and Alma and explained that the woman was her sister. When this was reviled to Chi, her heart raced and the look of surprise covered her face. This feeling was quickly relieved when she looked closer at the two women and realized that even thought they had the same face Iris look more like her grandmother then her sister. Chi lowered her head to Wylla in respect but showed her less admiration than Iris. After a few minuets of conversation Chi left Alma with Wylla. "Girl!" Chi shouted to Alma, "You are to keep the second Bluelake entertained and show her around the region. You are to follow her every command! Do I make myself clear!" Alma lowered her head with a depressed look and obeyed her demanding mother. Chi took Iris by the hand and walked her the the main square where a man on horseback almost ran a child over from the start of seeing Iris's face.

Moments later

"This has to stop. Please look at me as much as you want. I'm not a ghost, and I'm probably not who you think I am... Lady Chi, can you explain it to them?"

Chi responded to the people and bellowed in her loud voice. "People of Hernepoole, People of Falasan! The young woman before us is as pure of blood as our Queen Ilya. She is the granddaughter of our beloved Queen so this makes her master to all Falasani! Bow our heads to your new Queen!"

With out hesitation people in the masses started to fall to their knees. This act surprised Iris but was unable to stop Chi's new found charisma over the people.

with the attention now on Iris, Chi continued "This beautiful woman before you is the same in both blood and looks to our Queen. It is destined that our people will be freed from our current predicament and once again find ourselves a new home." As Chi spoke voices could be heard in the crowd.

"She looks like a goddess" "I have never giving up hope" "Some day I want to be like her" "I wonder if shes single" "Our Queen has returned"

The crowd was soon in an uproar clapping and cheering for Iris.

Roleplay from Wylla Bluelake

Wylla looked apprehensively when the old crone presented herself so humbly to her. She had never been revered before by a noblewoman and felt quite satisfied with herself. Then she started to realize the crone was actually devoted to Iris, and sent her daughter to come keep Wylla company. As soon as the order had been given, a sully Alma joined her side. Wylla tried making light of the situation.

"Hey, you're Alma, right? It seems your mother is quite stricken with my sister... well, since we started as noblewomen she has been drawing attention. I try not to care. She's a nice girl. Heart in the right place. Only can't fight well, that's all." With that, Alma's face started to relax, and they were soon having a shy conversation, while Iris walked ahead monopolised by Chi's attention, and Wylla started to see a more intense version of the attention she had attracted earlier.

And then the crone started a speech: "People of Hernepoole, People of Falasan! The young woman before us is as pure of blood as our Queen Ilya. She is the granddaughter of our beloved Queen so this makes her master to all Falasani! Bow our heads to your new Queen!"

"This beautiful woman before you is the same in both blood and looks to our Queen. It is destined that our people will be freed from our current predicament and once again find ourselves a new home."

While Iris smiled, at first shyly and then growing into a more beneficent and regal smile, Wylla watched in astonishment. People were kneeling, people were yelling, and Iris for a moment there became this person Wylla had never seen. Even she felt she should lower her head. Suddenly their eyes crossed, and Wylla could see how much all of this scared her twin. With a grin, she put her hand to the pummel of her sword and made their unspoken gesture of protection. Iris blinked, straightened up and spoke.

"People of Hernepoole, while this may be the dream all of you crave for, it might still be distant. I will need your strength, patience and endurance in the pursuit of this goal. We may reach it or not, but this I promise: I'll be forever fighting to free you from this predicament and make sure you all have homes to be proud of!"

The commotion still lasted a long time in the main square, but the noblewomen went into the Hunting Hare. There Iris swore her loyalty to Falasan and joined the guild, always followed and attended by lady Chi. Wylla and Alma stood on the side, and when all was done, they left together to Belegrond. Iris and Chi went not long afterwards.
