Crouching Tiger, Hidden Serpent. [Syndicate]

[♕BEFERA]

Word had spread quickly of Serpent's Sanctuary being left with a stallion called Syndicate. Nirvana hadn't been very close to Lashiel, but she did consider her an ally and a friend, so it was her duty, or so she felt, to travel to the Sanctuary as soon as she could in order to assess the situation. There was talk that Lashiel had gone deep into the bowel-like caverns that tunneled beneath the Sanctuary's plateau for some reason, but Nirvana wasn't convinced. In these times, especially with the fact that the Red Lady had been so quiet since Thanatos's betrayal the execution, there was no telling what really happened to her. The darkness of the Sanctuary greeted the Imperium Empress with its familiar sea scent and thick fog. In such a vast land, it was hard to find a specific equine, but Nirvana figured that this new ruler would be close to the center of the land, near the forest. The orange Queen continued onward, watching her step in the more loamy areas, taking care not to get stuck in mud or worse. Soon she reached the border of the evergreen forest, the smell of the sea beyond it much more potent than when she first entered the lands. It was a sea of salt and of dead creatures, and the wind that blew steadily off of the beach stained the rest of the terra in its stench. After being here a few times in the past, the brindled witch grew to expect such smells from other Imperium, or rather, former Dark lands. There were creatures who called themselves equine who preferred the smell of death and decay, and that was all well and good, but Nirvana wanted no part in it. The Empress stood in silence for a few moments, watching the trees sway in the wind, their deep, earthy green branches waving like tall, feathered giants in the grey sky above. Haze shrouded them, making them seem even taller. Nirvana appreciated this sight somehow, finding it beautiful. After a few moments of quiet observation, the fire-pelted villainess adjusted her stance and let out a piercing call, clearly one that demanded the attention of the land's ruler. She let the sound ring out over the trees and out to the sea, and she waited. Would she find this Syndicate brute worthy enough to rule in Lashiel's stead? words: 396 tagged: Syndicate muse: good

Syndicate

The morning light had broken over the horizon and the cremello king had already started his morning. Syn had a few mixed emotions with his new title, but overall Serpent’s Sanctuary had been his only true home and it felt right. The young stag knew that many would be confused as to why the sanctuary had been left to him. Syndicate was more than ready to answer all the questions head on. Crimson daggers squished in the mud that the previous rain had left uprooting and bringing the swamp back to life. The creatures of the land however were silent; confused as to why their beloved queen had moved below and the stallion knew with a little bit of time the ‘scary’ creatures of the swamp would accept him, just as they had those that came before him. He had left the place where Lashiel showed him her and two of her children would be to reconnect with the land and truly themselves. Scandal was furious she was no included and had to stay up top with them, but when she was referred to as princess she cooled her jets a little bit to the idea of having to stay.



A call alerted the young stallion to move a little quicker he had expected others to come and see who had been left with the lands that were so well known. Spotted pillars shifted through the swampy terrain with ease for it was something he knew so well. A breeze caused the trees to sway back and forth as if to dance with the rest of the world and with them, a scent was carried to the stallion. The scent seemed somewhat familiar, feminine all the same. Sky blue banner flickered back and forth against his cream colored pelt as he approached the mare. A gentle grin was upon his maw as he grew closer to the vixen; her coloration instantly gave her away. The imperium queen Nirvana, a part of him was curious as to why she had come... and so quickly but then he was reminded that Lashiel and Nirvana were allies. Syn could only hope to keep the alliance with the brindled queen. He was once again reminded that she had offered him the position in the Pitt, but he knew he was needed here and was pleased he remained in his home.



His stance was a proud one, but not arrogant all the same as his odd colored frame stopped near the brindled queen. “Hello Nirvana.” He spoke his tones cool and even as his tawny brown visionaries watched the queen. “I am Syndicate, but I am sure you have heard already. To what do I owe the pleasure my queen?” He questioned the orange queen then, having some idea of what brought her to the sanctuary but asking all the same. Syn was quiet then as he watched her waiting for her to speak.
