Welcome to Gaia! ::

Joachim fallowed hysteria. After seeing how he ended her conversation with the baroness, he felt himself become a bit more guarded. he sat down in the chair she mentioned. " I thank you for the seat, and for letting me have this moment in private." part of the formality that existed in his voice seemed to vanished as he continued speaking, talking to her almost as if she was a young woman with little experience. " you seem to have information on me that you should not. I cant imagine my movements would have garnered the attention of a queen from another nation I am just a mayor after all, not in line to have any big political movements in ethe. yet still. you knew I spoke bellrisian."
for now he would put aside the treatment of the baroness, he might be able to talk to the baroness or the queen at a deferent time about that, but right now he needed to know. this. he had spend a bit of time looking back into his memory he noticed something when she saw him, a look of remembrance so small that he had missed it at first. but looking back he could now see it.

The pride of good work always seems less

" you have just had a child, it makes sense that you emptions could overpower you." he responded remembering how his wife was after having his children. he kept an eye on all of her movements. mostly just out of curiosity." as long as you can admit such a thing, any damage done can be mended before they can create a war."
he sighed wondering why he had slipped into teaching mode. he was a teacher no more.
he smiled at her response, it was fully logical something no one would be able to disregard. yet. " no. no one would assume that I spoke bellrissian to any amount that a noble would not have been trained to. but I do see. I do apologize for my ideas." he bowed his head as he apologized.

The pride of good work always seems less

Joachim could not help but chuckle. he raised himself from the chair. feeling his age in his bones once more. " that is true. ideas do run the world and this republic of yours is an interesting idea I do hope works out well for you and your people." he said speaking sincerely.
he shook his head never removing his eyes from hers. " no. I just did not wish for my suspicions to be aired in public. I m a very private individual about my past. and I do hope you find this individual I remind you of. during times that are hard we need family. but seeing as your a recent mother. I am sure you would want to share your happiness with this person you miss." he bowed to her. "once again I apologize for my rude thoughts. and I wish you a good day." with that, if he was not stopped he would bow deeply before heading out.

Hysteria felt drained of energy as she sat on her bed in her chambers, her personal guard- the Bellris halfbreed, stood at the door. She felt like a prisoner in her chambers as the goddess went about shadowing who knows what. The fires from yesterday blazed in her mind. She didn't mind burning down Youkimi's house, in fact she thought it served the b***h right, but the deaths of the Ethen's weighed on her. None the less she was still running the republic, she had to introduce Cyn to the world. She wrote to her brother;

"Roland,
A while before the war you may remember House Bronzewell, and its demise during the Drosselmeyers assent.
A member of their house has come forward and I would like for you to meet their heir, Cyn Bronzewell, at your next possible convenience, as they are eligible for the council, however for now I just have him training the new troops.
I believe you will find the Duke Bronzewell, much interesting.
Your sister,
Hysteria"

she then handed the letter to her guard, whom sent it off via pigeon, as she got to work writing another letter.

(OOC: I was supposed to do this a while ago)

She should have known that the oracles would be s**t, a bunch of sadistic bastards. A shiver wracked her body and made her convulse, her muscles tightening and forcing her to drop forward onto her hands and knees, she felt like her fingers were cramping up and tying to pull apart sideways, the muscles on her shoulders were also tightening and the only thing she could thing of to stop it was to curl her spine so she was touching her head to the ground. She screamed in pain, it was a growing scream that started slow before reaching a high pitched pain that went on for a good thirty seconds until at long last she had to take a breath or she felt like her lungs would fall out.

Collapsing onto her side Hysteria let her body shake and tremble as she slammed one of her hands over and over into the stone floor repeatedly until cracks formed along her skin like glass and the pain she so hated was replaced with a sweet release as the skin from her right hand up to her elbow cracked and fell off to lay on the ground, showing a strange dark substance that looked like something between black mold and rot. It was disgusting looking and her entire body was a patchwork of it, under her dress most of her torso had already gone though the possess. It was only her head, arms and legs now that had to go though the pain now. But it was taking a while. It would stop for a few hours before continuing or it would continue for hours on end chipping away slowly. This seemed like one of the latter times, as she felt her body start to spasm for a moment as she rolled onto her back, letting her body arch away from the ground and she brought one of her legs up so she was holding it to her chest just before letting it go and kicking her heel into the wall hard enough to dislodge a stone. She screamed as she felt her ankle break, following by a loud sigh as cracks formed across her skin and fell. An arm, a leg, and a face to go.

She heard the knocking and then the voice, her eyes going wide which seemed to trigger what she needed in order for her face to crack and she screamed in pain as her skin broke away to leave more of the dark rot beneath it. "Hold on ! Hold on !" she yelled out after the pain became less. She knew her brother enough that he would likely break the door and she didn't need to wait six weeks for a new one to come. So crawling on her hands and knees over to the door, her broken ankle dragging along the stones in a way that had her eyes filling to the brim with tears. How did warriors stand this! She couldn't take a break and yet they took full on wounds.

Once she finally got to the door she took a deep breath and put her right hand on the door and the left on the half of her face that was now missing "I'm opening the door" she said calmly as she then turned the handle and opened it, jerking herself out of the way enough so her younger brother would have the room to come in before she would slam the door behind her. The room was dark but it hid nothing, the strange skin colored glass everywhere, her blonde hair having grown to her hips with red roots down to her ears, the strange darkness on her arms and legs and the one eye that was different then the other now- oily black, instead of the Bellris families inherited blue "What has you here...I heard you'd gone to Zalto." she said in confusion "I wouldn't have expected you back for a few weeks now that the war is over"

Hysteria looked up at him when he showed his concern, her remaining blue eye widening in surprise , he wanted to what now? She shook her head "no. Do not call a physician, they wouldn't be able to help in this matter she said to him and closed both of her eyes while she his the missing part of her face. She knew how much he looked up to the gods and she bit her lip slightly, wincing as it cracked "if you know how to set or help with a broken ankle though....that would be appreciated she jerked her head over to the wall to let him see the stone she had kicked from its place in what must have been a fit of pain "This is the gods will Roland, what is happening will soon pass. Not to long now she said and then gave him a pained smile that showed her hesitance at how sure she was "though...if something does happen, send Kyran to his father and keep a close eye on Salome...she is very favored by Antari and if she knows I think problems might come quicker her words sped up as she felt a pain coming on as a crack formed from the center of her lip straight down her chin and her neck. It was like she was literally being ripped apart.
