Strega looked at Yhudah and let a slightly annoyed tsk passed her lips "yeah yeah, I'm ready" she said "but you seem occupied, so come get me when you need my expertise" she said as she walked passed his horsed and headed back toward the encampment. This was Zamora's priest that she found so it wasn't her problem, and if Yhudah wanted to be an a** about it she had no right to stop him.
Strega started walking back to the encampment when one of the other horses stopped her and she looked up at the tribesmen and raised a dark eyebrow at them but she stopped anyway, letting out a huff of annoyance as she turned around and looked back at Yhudah "We can go interrogate now if you wish Yhudah, If Zamora is watching him you shouldn't have to worry. Shes strong after all, you should stop treating her like chop liver" she said to him, wanting to get on with her day, it wasn't like she had anything to loose by talking back at this point anyway.

So it was about time the chief had let go of the thought of causing a ruckus involving no one but a man who simply wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery nature had to provide. Alistair heaved a soft sigh, and he’d give a nod of his head towards Zamora and Strega, though towards the chief himself, Alistair refused to do so, nor does he expect an apology from him. The priest wanted nothing to do with this man that claimed himself to be a chief. Self proclaimed or not, Alistair wasn’t sure. However, the one thing he was absolutely sure of, was the fact he wished for nothing but for this man named Yhudah to leave him be. Goodness, has it always been so tiring to come out every once in a while?
”Still, a man who hates the emperor is good with me." said the chief.
”Why is it I do not feel the slightest delight upon hearing such words.” Alistair rubbed his temples in frustration, and his fingers would soon move towards his third eye, trailing against the thin eyelids that cover nothing but a hollow socket.
Before the group left, the chief would once again turn around, asking what god he served. It wasn’t hard to tell from the dragon’s demeanor, that the god he served was rather.. dark. Maybe Alistair has been a dark fellow all along, or maybe the negative energy within the Maude has taken its toll upon him. No one really knows. All he could do, was assume. ”I serve none other than Leo, Himself. The God of War, Battle, and Revenge.” he answered briefly, before once again, trailing his fingertips across the surface of the water.
”As a priest, I offer you, and your tribe, my prayers.” he paused, his eyes darting from Zamora, to Strega, and then, finally, upon Yhudah. His crystal gaze narrowed, and eventually, his lips parted in attempt to speak once more. ”May the God, Leo, provide you strength in your battles that has yet to come, and I pray, the angst and might you show, will not be your next downfall.” was it a hint, or was it a prayer, he supposed the chief knew quite well, and with that final message, Alistair would turn his head, refusing to speak anymore than he should. The day is slowly passing, and it was best he save his energy and admire the beauty of nature, before the darkness of nightfall swallowed it whole.

◆OutfitGarment◆Location Thousand River Delta ◆Company Tribesmen ◆Mood Amused ◆Out of crackersForgive the slow responses. Things aren't very good here and I'm not feeling worth much...
Zamora breathed a soft sigh as she whispered for the rider to take her back to the camp. Yes she had heard the conversation between the others and that her husband shouldn't be treating her like chopped liver, but the point was that she didn't have much power besides being one of the chieftains wives. It also didn't help she was the youngest of them as well, meaning she still had a great deal to prove when it came to being a member of both the harem and the tribe. Thankfully the tribesmen she was sitting behind upon the horse listened and began to take her back to the camp.
That slave, Strega, had shown much use. She was kind enough to help her master be sure his captive Bellrisan soldier was not lying to him when he interrogated him but she also showed her rebellious side yet again. She spoke against some of her master's choices but he would not have her talk to him about such things in front of his clan without repercussions. Yhudah had to look tough, be mean and stay the strongest in the clan if he wished to keep them all in check and because of that he made an example out of Strega by whipping her where all could see. He felt slightly bad but only because of that damn face of Strega's as he had her tied up and put away within his tent for the meantime. She reminded him too much of an old childhood friend, the only true friend he ever had as a kid, and it bothered him to no end to see her pained face match up to the dead one of his friend so long ago.
Sometimes he wishes he would never have to see Strega's face again simply because of this fact but this was also why he kept her around; For her face would remind him of the past which use to be.
With the info extracted out of the now dead Bellrisan soldier Yhudah had led his men into a raid later that day which they were successful in. They attacked a large trade shipment on the Bellrisan road to Zalto and there food and weapons were procured. The weapons bared the mark of Bellris as a Red Phoenix which gave way to a wicked plan to the clan master's mind. With the weapons they stole from Zalto when they were near the kingdom for the fertility festival, Yhuda had commanded that a band of his warriors rush to the lands of Zalto that night and kill randomly with the weapons from Bellris while he would ride to Bellris and kill randomly using the weapons from Zalto. There he would drop a few weapons as a clue to who would have done this and the same was done on the lands of Zalto with the weapons from Bellris. With foreign weapons in the kingdoms they each would suspect that the other kingdom had plotted this act of aggression against their neighbor which would then give Yhudah and his clan the perfect cover as they make their way back to the Badlands of Phobos.
With today's sun now rising both Yhudah's group and the other group would ride into camp and smile in victory. The camp was alive and working hard as they pick up camp and ready the ship for travel. Logs of wood acted like wheels underneath the large boat the men tried rolling from the land to the river and as they heave the clan leader takes this moment to proudly see his people being so productive.
With hopes for his clan the future seems to look bright...but for whatever reason he can't seem to shake the words said by the priest from the other day
Strega had not slept, she did not enjoy the whip and though Yhudah had not meant to, he had left two lashes that had broken her skin. Even though the blood had stopped dripping from the wounds she had not slept, and she was beyond pissed off.
She twisted her arms within her ties as she looked around, taking a deep breath as she tried to tug them away from their ties.
◆OutfitGarment◆Location Thousand River Delta ◆Company Tribemen, Yhudah and Strega ◆Mood Bored ◆Out of crackersSorry I'm so late responding. A lot is going on here at the moment...
Zamora let out a heavy yawn as she made her way towards the tent Yhudah had kept the slave girl in while lashing her. Breathing a slight sigh as she moved into the tent holding a couple small bowls, one holding something for Strega to eat despite the order to let her starve, and the other holding a type of ointment for the girls wounds. "You will feel better with some food and this on the open wounds." She murmured while carefully setting things down and then gently untied the girls wrists. "Just don't try to run away or Yhudah will beat you again." She warned before finally holding up the bowl filled with the mornings breakfast. There was roasted meat, some sort of mashed potato looking thing and some vegetables.
Joachim stared of into one of tje many big river bed in rover delta. the river delta... Its been way to long since i was last here he thought wistfully as he watched the water go further towards the end of epsilon. He wondered why she wanted to meet here.
He let his thoughts flow along with the water. Forgetting himself for a second he let himself think of this place as home. A home he had not been a part of in a long time he reminded his old bones. He needed to work harder. His face settled back into a determined gaze as once more he began to think of the consequences of this meeting, and how to stir them towards his end goal.

Hysteria Izadora Bellris EC:$500 Clothing:red dress Mood: Calm. a little sad
Hysteria looked across the waters toward Joachim, her blue eyes following him, he had not changed. She would wait a few minutes before she began walking over to him, not bothering with her dress as she walked though the shallow parts of the rivers. When she was close enough she stood behind him and clasped her hands together.
She would watch him for a second before looking back at the water, they were so close to the edge of their world, less than a mile and they would fly off into the clouds. Hysteria would sigh softly "All the girls in the Bellris family are known for having beautiful blonde hair, all the boys have had black hair. How we have managed to breed in such a way is beyond my knowledge." Hysteria managed to whisper out as she looked around the Delta. "A long time ago a Bellris princess nearly drowned here, she was brought back to the palace but she couldn't be saved. It was a sad day for Bellris." Hysteria walked a few feet, so she was instead standing next to him "You seem to be old enough to remember such a tragedy. When Shiphera died rumor went around that Ethe was trying to sew discord, to save her half bellrisian children Queen Enthrallia had her lover Magnus take their brood to Ethe...where almost all of them died anyway, despite her best efforts." Hysteria looked over the water "Tell me... are you Reyel, Magnus Jr. or Johne?"

Yhudah, Chieftain of the Guzul
They've been hard at work cutting trees and collecting to create their homes once again. Yurts will do for now but the whole clan would be working hard for a while now, including their own chief who was hacking away at the cluster of trees near the encampment. The decided to build within a small forest by one of the many rivers of the thousand river delta with hopes they would not be found from the Bellrisans who claim these lands as their own; And all the Zlatian equipment being found would surely seal their fate as perpetrator of disturbing the peace.
While his wife had threatened to go speak to her friend about his denial of aid to their cause he distracted her enough with word games and playfully touch just enough to rid her mind of what was important at the time. It had been a while since he and she layed together as husband and wife and after last night he can vividly remember why it was he chose such a young wife. Perhaps his vigorous night was the reason why he was able to work so damn fast and cheerful today.
Yet... thoughts would return to that seeress he had, from time to time during the wood chopping, and he wondered if he should try asking her to see into the tribe's future or not; For she might try to trick him with how much he's used and abused her.
◆OutfitGarment◆Location Thousand River Delta ◆Company Tribesmen and Yhudah ◆Mood Mischievous ◆Out of crackersShe'll just blame him and probably go when his back is turned lol.
Zamora breathed a content sigh as she watched her husband work at cutting down tree's with some of the tribesmen. It had been a surprising night for her considering she had attempted to get Yhudah to help the Rehn clan with the soul shredder issue, only to get up laying with him instead of keeping her word. She hoped there was still time though and was awaiting her chance to sneak off, which soon came in the form of her husband being lost in thought. So she casually made her way into a clear area and soon transformed into her phoenix form in order to try reaching her friend.
he became lost in the memories he had of the delta. he was brought out of his revelry by Hysteria hand clasping behind him he steeled himself once more. but her words struck fear into his very soul. he did not know that the councilwoman made such deep inquires into almost forgotten memories. "i might have at one point been known by the name Reyel. but like the other names that person is dead." this woman was to insightful. he had decided to just let the truth be spoken, if he lied and she found out more. his lie could damage the relationship he was trying to repair.
that is what he told himself. but he wondered if it was not that reminding himself of his failure to save his sister by being in the delta once more did not bring about the desire to admit to that which has been hidden from all. " Madam Hysteria you have done your homework. that tale is not one that should be easily found. even by the queen, its just a tale of one heir dyeing and someone having to take the blame. " he did not stop looking at the river, but he kept her in his field of vision. fr once. he did not know how to handle the situation he was in. what would she do with this information?

Hysteria couldn't help the slight chuckle that escaped her lips "It is my family history that you say shouldn't be easily found." she said as she looked across the water "Besides, why wouldn't I wonder what happened to my own brothers, after all we share the same mother... or at least our souls do" she said to him "besides, it was the Queen's fault for taking a Ethen lover when Bellris was not ready for such a thing." she said "Does your family know of your bloodline?" she asked him before finally taking a look at him "what is it you wanted to speak with me today?" she asked
while she was speaking truth he also knew very few would really dig deep into the bloodline, not when they held no threat to the power of the queen. but he would not think to deeply about that. he just sighed. " no one except maybe the queen and you are aware of my blood being anything other then ethian. " he turned to look at the councilwoman. " i met Antarri." he let her know straight . telling her what he had told the baroness of his visit to the tower. " after this visit i learned that you closed the doors to Belriss. with the second prince of lionis becoming so active. i am feeling a sense of coalescing energy in the air. did you meet with Antari?"

Hysteria looked at him for a moment "It wasn't that difficult to find out, after all you could speak it." she said to him "and you use a more...formal tongue" she said "do you have any daughters?" she asked him.
She heard him speak of Antari and she nodded "I was the first one that met her when she awoke, I closed the borders on her request" she said to him.
" yes i have a daughter. she was spared from thee revival of mt. Adara. she is now the empress. she ended up marrying the emperor." he kept his face neutral as he said this, tho he knew that just showing a neutral face already spoke of his dislike for the emperor marrying his daughter.
he frowned. " did she tell you why? this decision makes no sense. it puts your goals that you had in jeopardy... and i can see war looming in the horrizon thanks in part to this and other choices made."
