Over a meal of roast pheasant and steamed vegetables, Lysandra watched and listened as the conversation proceeded. Besides Lysandra, others at the table included the Baroness' senior lady-in-waiting and Mistress of the Rose, Lady Galina; Lady Vera Ardel, a guest and heir to the fallen barony of ...

A Reminder of Pyrisian visit

The snowfall had been harsh and early, unnaturally so. It appeared to be some time before the caravans could safely even manage to travel the immediate roads south from Corunglain to reach Pyris. In the meantime, Gabriella had much to prepare for her stay at the ...

Gabriella

"Thank you for your comments," Gabriella says quietly. "I know that the mood of the matron of the home, or castle, is the mood of the entire home. My mother explained that to me many years ago. I was not thinking in terms of being the head of anything." She shifted in her seat slightly. "I wasn't ...

Duchess Lysandra - “Pyris will prosper in your hands. You have a good heart and a steady head.”

Gabriella beamed at the compliment. “Thank you kindly, Your Grace.”

Later that evening in the Grand Hall of the Sallavarian Estate, Duchess Lysandra and Lady Brenna are speaking with Gabriella ...

Gabriella

“It is not my intent to scare you, Gabriella,” the Duchess said with sympathy. “I am merely trying to prepare you for what you have to face in the future. The citizens of Pyris are hard-working, honest people. They will come to love you as they did myself. Some of our younger staff in Pyris have ...

Gabriella

On the carriage ride to the castle, Validar's mother, the Duchess, surprised Gabriella with comments about her becoming Duchess herself one day.

Duchess Lysandra - “The very first King of Cynalon set a precedent that most ruling nobles follow to this very day,” Duchess Lysandra explained. “Rulers ...

Duchess Lysandra had just departed the Azrellan Temple and now was being taken to Castle Elcadan. She converses with her niece and future daughter-in-law.

“In time, yes. things will be much better here in Elcadan,” Lysandra agrees. “These are indeed troubling times, Gabriella. I cannot say when ...

Lady Gabriella Allonica

Duchess Lysandra - “No one will be ignored, Lady Allonica,” the Duchess states. “These are issues that we need to deal with in time. There is a far more pressing issue that must be dealt immediately. An enemy army is just a few days away. We need to create a safe haven ...

Lady Gabriella Allonica

After arriving at the Temple of Azrella and meeting many of the orphans there, the talk turns to the needs of the orphanage. Jallarzi mentions what she has been able to do to assist. "Surely with the new leadership here in Elcadan, more aid and assistance can be directed ...

Lady Gabriella Allonica

On the way to Castle Elcadan, the weather is cooler than Gabriella would have liked. She makes sure to bring along a light over-jacket for the trip. The ride on the way in is comfortable and casual, as she makes small talk with the Duchess and Validar’s cousin Jallarzi ...

Gabriella

Gabby:

Gabriella sits back in her chair and is content to observe the goings on. It's clear to her that there are several powerful nobles in this room and as group these ladies are a potent force here in Cynalon. The future queen is here, the Duchess of Streel and the renowned Lady Sallavarian ...

Gabriella

Lady Gabriella Allonica:

The morning started out pleasant enough. Gabriella is up early in the guest room she shares with her companions: Breeanna and her cousin Jamid. The guest room is one of the larger ones and it has a bed for each of us. The task of dressing is next. Breeanna sorts through ...

Gabriella

Gabriella:

"The rapid movement available by such a vessel is remarkable and with the unencumbrace of being relegated to rivers, lakes or seas, it offers tremendous versatility. I would hope that we can establish several of these flying vessels for our use. And the comfort is even more so than a ...

Gabriella

Gabriella:

"Indeed there is a story. There is always a story with the lives we lead. They are not tame and they are not boring, but I would not have it any other way."

"As for the ship, it is of ill repute and of ill maintenance. We will have to move the mechanism that allows it to fly to a ...

Gabriella

Gabriella:

"They will be along soon. Our final leg of the journey and arrival here at the Sallavarian Estate was by ship," Validar explains. "And a flying ship at that. I will explain more about that when things have settled down a bit."

“A flying ship,” Gabriella repeats in surprise. “I sense ...

Gabriella

Gabriella:

After much waiting, the Duke and his entourage finally arrive at the Sallavarian Estate. After donning a coat to protect against the cold, Gabriella rushes outside to greet them. Much to her surprise, they do not approach from the road nor are they on horseback.

"I am pleased to see ...

Gabriella

Lady Gabriella:

"You are correct, my love. I expected to be the military force for the Barony and be more independent in my actions. However, being the Baron now has many responsibilities, but also gives me even more freedom to do what I think is best."

"I am not worried about Pyris as it is a ...

Gabriella

Lady Gabriella Allonica:

"Indeed. It promises to be even more hectic and busy than today was. While I have been enjoying the newness of all this, in a way it will be simpler once back on the road. Only a limited number of worries to deal with."

“And that we shall have soon enough. I imagine ...

Gabriella

Lady Gabriella:

"It has been a very full day," Validar states, letting out a full breath as he does so. "But now, I am yours."

“For a short time,” Lady Gabriella notes. “We will both need our rest for the coming day.”

"That shall be fine, beloved. There is much that the Duchess can pass on I ...

Gabriella

Lady Gabriella:

“I really hadn’t even considered that yet, but you are correct Lady Gabriella. It’s hard for me to even think that far ahead right now. We’re not even married yet, so the idea of settling down to a noble life style is not even in my mind.”

"Gabriella is correct, Ivy of Azrella ...

Gabriella

Lady Gabriella:

"Lady Gabriella, if you would excuse me for a moment. The Duke wishes to discuss matters of state." He gives her a quick kiss on her cheek and then whispers, "I cannot wait when you shall join me in such meetings as baroness, my love." He escorts her by the arm to the exit of the ...

Gabriella

Lady Gabriella:

"You are correct. There are other ways to replicate the appearance of someone, besides these demonesses. It makes sense. At a time when we are alone, we can make such a code word," Validar responds turning serious himself.

“Since it seems that there are numerous couples amongst ...

Gabriella

Lady Gabriella:

"My heart has already been snared by one whom these vile temptresses cannot hope to compare themselves against," Validar whispers back.

“That’s sweet, but I’m being serious here,” Lady Gabriella answers. “They can look like anyone, including myself. It might behoove us to ...

Gabriella

Lady Gabriella:

“Well met, Lady Gabriella. It is an honor to meet you. It has been pleasant after being apart for so long. Although Sir Acerion has been strangely quiet as of late. I am to understand that our course will now take us back to Elcadan?”

“Eventually,” Lady Gabriella answers ...

Gabriella

Lady Gabriella Allonica:

"A fine suggestion, my lady. I had not considered that as yet," Validar says. "I shall do so at the earliest opportunity."

The next morning, Validar will take Gabriella to meet Sir Acerion and his lady Ivy. They meet up after breakfast, but before Ivy heads to Silvarn ...

Gabriella

Gabriella:

“Well met, Lady Allonica,” Argent responds. “Yes, that is correct. Lady Jallarzi Salavarian tutored me. I thought you looked familiar, Lady Gabriella. My parents are shopkeepers in Crossroads and they regularly deal with the Allonica family for their supplies. I must say, that is a ...

Gabriella

Lady Gabriella Allonica:

"As your reputation proceeds you, you have much to live up to," Validar responds playfully. "I look forward to witnessing you in action."

“Come now,” Gabriella retorts with a smile, “it would not be that exciting to watch. Typically the best results are achieved ...

Gabriella

Lady Gabriella:

"Indeed. I lamented the thought for a moment when it became obvious that Sir Acerion had his heart captured by Lady Ivy. But we must be happy for our friends and not simply use them as pawns in our plans, shouldn't we?", Validar asks rhetorically. "They would make an ideal ...

Gabriella

Lady Gabriella:

Validar listens to Gabriella's comments and mulls them about momentarily. "I agree that Sir Acerion seems well suited to be Lady Ardel's husband and therefore the new Baron of Stone Ridge. However, he has commented to me about a lack of political experience as well. And it is a ...

Gabriella

Lady Gabriella:

"I do not disagree. Simply put, however, I have seen politicians and their like allow themselves to be desensitized to abhorrent philosophy in an effort to learn about their enemies. If one is not careful, you can become much like them. I do not need to understand the reasons why ...

Gabriella

Lady Gabriella:

"It may be acceptable to them, but that does not change the fact it is a coward's method. And that is why they are not successful. While it is important to understand their methods, I do not respect them, nor do I ever wish to emulate them. A victory is hollow if won through ...

Gabriella

Lady Gabriella:

"It nearly resulted in the fall of Gateway. The potion numbs the mind and is especially effective against mages and those of higher intellectual capacity. A cowardly way to wage war, I do think."

"But a perfectly acceptable method of victory to them, beloved. They do not ...

Gabriella

Lady Gabriella:

"Indeed. In the meantime, allow me to introduce two more of my old Seeker companions: Dar Thaltus and Araduin. They disappeared soon after the siege of Gateway and were found inside the vile temple of Hextor in New Keln," Validar says, indicating the two elves. "Gentlemen, please ...

Gabriella

Lady Gabriella:

Validar is actually taken by surprise for the first time that he can remember. He opens his mouth to say something, but at first nothing comes out. Finally he finds his words. "It is indeed an idea that has filled my thoughts on many nights, especially lately." Validar will take ...

Gabriella

Lady Gabriella Allonica:

The Lady Gabriella tries to wait patiently at the council gathering. Lord Sharadin has yet to return with Sir Validar and Sir Acerion. The wait and uncertainty are excruciating. But, she tries to past the time by lightly nibbling on buffet food and speaking with her ...
