Welcome to Gaia! ::

Iapetos Václav Ravindra

Ravindra's family had taken over different and many kingdoms over the past centuries. They knew how to survive and conquer to keep the lands that they take over. This is tale of Iapetos Václav Ravindra, who ruled over Artemisa for two centuies and still is. He knows how to rule and have pleasure at the same time. Iapetos doesn't have a wife yet but has a harem full of women to pick from but checking to make sure that there are no living descendants of the Artemisa's ruling family left alive to try to take his throne. If he does find a female descendant out there, he will force her to be his bride so no one can argue against him later on about his claim to the throne even though it has come up before.

He has been thinking out of all the women in his harem who might would make a great queen. That didn't take too long as Viconia was the best option out of them all. The fact that she was a moon elf that she would live a lot longer than a human queen.Unless I have her killed should she disobeyed me... Then again she would be caring about the people of the country as she had served them before as a priestess to Elyon. Hmm... He thought as after he had sent someone to bring Viconia to him.

Viconia Artemis DeRio

Viconia is wearing her full length, one shouldered blue dress that Iapetos had requested her to wear to this meeting. She had her doubts what this meeting was about but had a feeling that it may in up in the bed room, knowing Iapetos. Anyways, Viconia was following the escort and wondered what was on his mind.Let's see, he's been here close to a year now if I remember correctly. J'Radd is his name and I wonder if he can change into an actual tiger with his skin being tiger like. I'm not sure what race he is either but I have a good feeling that the women chase after J'Radd. I couldn't blame them on that account if you're just looking on the outside. I wonder what his heart is like... She thought as they drew nearer to the smaller audience chamber where she was meeting Iapetos."So J'Radd, do you enjoy working in the castle here?"

Viconia Artemis DeRio

"Yes, this is not the first time I have seen you here in the castle J'Radd. You can hear most interesting things sometimes in a castle as the years go by. I had heard of you several times before now, mostly from some admirers of yours." Viconia said as she wondered how J'Radd to respond to the many admirers part. They both knew where she stayed and well, anyways...."Ah, that's good, I wished I was still at the temple helping others... " She said before stopping.I spoke too much to him and If one of Iapetos's secret men heard that, I'm in for some punishment.... But I feel that if there was anyone in the castle that I could trust, i believe it would be J'Radd somehow. Maybe....? No, The only way that Iapeto will let me go is by my death...I know too much for him to just let me go... Viconia thought to herself as she looked around the hall with her eyes, searching for secret men or for Khrazi's snakes... She kept moving and looked down at the ground, wondering what J'Radd will think of what she had said.

J'Radd



Hear interesting things, eh? He didn't let it show, but the woman's remark certainly piqued J'Radd's interest. He was a little disappointed we she went on to mention admirer's Oh, all she's interested in is gossip. Still, depending on who they are, admirers could make valuable allies or informants. And even rumors can occasionally yield good intel; we keep in touch with more than one streetear. Suddenly Viconia's demeanor changed, she looked around nervously, as though afraid someone had heard her. She just said something she shouldn't have. What was it: "Ah, that's good, I wished I was still at the temple helping others... " What was in that sentence? She helped people at a temple? She was a temple maiden, before? Ravindra took a temple maiden? Hmmm. Not sure how valuable that is, but she's worried that someone may have heard it, meaning Ravindra probably didn't want her to share it. "Ah, that's good, I wished I was still at the temple helping others... " I'll remember that. But... J'Radd's ears where sharp, he'd trained his already enhanced cat hearing to pick up the slightest sound. And he could tell someone was following them, just out of sight, but probably within earshot. Resuming his calm demeanor he went on, "We're not here to chat. Keep moving."

J'Radd



Ever observant he noticed her shiver after she'd slipped the important seeming sentence and saw her touch the elaborate bracelet on her wrist. Neither seemed particularly noteworthy, but he had a knack for noticing details, and a ridiculous photographic memory, both made him good at his job. She's certainly a chatty one, J'radd thought as the elf pressed him to talk. But he maintained his professional front. "I never said you stopped, I only meant to remind you your place. I'm here to take you to His Highness, not to gab." Actually, J'Radd might have enjoyed talking, but saying the wrong thing with a spy trailing them was a quick way to the gallows.

J'Radd



For a moment the elf seemed strangely content. What is she laughing about? He didn't have time to think about it for long, though, as her demeanor became solemn again as they approached their destination. "Here we are." The Khajit said, as he knocked on the door to announce their presence.

J'Radd



"Here is the moon elf, as ordered, my king." J'Radd reported to Ravindra. He kept any emotion hidden behind the steely exterior of a professional soldier, but he observed how unbecoming it was for a king to look at a woman the way Ravindra looked at Viconia. He wished he could help the girl, but there was nothing he could do...
...for the moment.

Viconia Artemis DeRio

Viconia saw the look on Iapeto's face as she walked into the room, towards Iapeto. She bowed to him and waited for his permission to sit down.Once he did, she sat down on the stool close to him and she wasn't expecting the question so soon."Well, I hear so many things in the harem so I don't know which rumors you might be hinting at my King." Viconia said as she felt his hand on her left shoulder. She knew it had to do with the rumors of him picking a queen or something completely different that was under wraps.
