[2015/10/27 15:41] Ephralia: Eph makes sure the snacks are out and available, then calls out, "In the main hall, please, Cousins!" in sing-song tones
[2015/10/27 15:42] Emmaline Anundr Aldin makes her way to the throne room. It was time to begin.
[2015/10/27 15:43] Aurelia Lefevre (Guenevere Amaranth): /me enters, and bows in respect as she passes Emma. "Vedui, Tari Emmaline". She follows Eph and Gales into the hall.
[2015/10/27 15:48] Aurelia Lefevre (Guenevere Amaranth): /me waves hello to Eph, saying quietly, "Vedui, lady of the sword!! " with a smile. "How fares things today?"
[2015/10/27 15:49] Ephralia: Eph turns and wiggles fingers in hello at Aurelia and Gales and beams a crescent-eyed smile at them, "If I were any better, I'd be twins! How goes it with you?"
[2015/10/27 15:50] /me Gales Hawkblood smiles and nods politely to Emma and Eph "tis a good day today" he says with a smile
[2015/10/27 15:52] Emmaline Anundr Aldin looks out over the small group. But it was a start. "Diola lle, Cousins, for coming to our first Court meeting. There are few of us here, but there is still much to do, the most important of which are our appointments. It is time to form the Council."
[2015/10/27 15:54] Ephralia: "Vedui, my Tari!" Eph softly murmurs from her spot, turning her cheery smile to Emmaline
[2015/10/27 15:56] Merialeth Windstar padded in at the back, her warm if a little faded smile alighting over each present though she'd she'd stay silent for now, waiting to see how and what would occur.
[2015/10/27 15:58] Nadora Toza walks in as quietly as possible and takes a seat off to the side as not to disturb the court. She peers around the pews to catch a glimpse of the Tari. She'd never been to a royal court before, her eyes would flutter from one thing to another. From the people to the architecture to the Tari herself. It was clear she was a little bit in awe and felt just a tad bit like perhaps she shouldn't be here. She was curious, however, if nothing else, so she leaned her staff against the side of the bench she sat on and listened quietly.
[2015/10/27 15:59] Emmaline Anundr Aldin takes her seat, the throne of the Elves of Valesk, for the very first time. It was not a comfortable seat, nor would it ever be. It was not meant to be. "To begin, I wish to tell you about the Eldari Malantur, my Second. Though we are a new faction, we are an old race. The Malantur must be someone courageous, someone with much experience in the ways of the world as we elves have kept ourselves secluded from the rest of the world for eons. The Malantur must be know the Tari's heart as the Tari must know theirs. There is one person here who, through their bravery, their intelligence, and their faithfulness, has demonstrated their perfect calling for this position." Emma looked at Eph and said, "Ephralia Valor, Paladin of the Numinous Blades, I ask you to rise."
[2015/10/27 16:03] Ephralia: Eph blinks for a while, feeling a bit out-of-body, and mentally at least casting about for somebody ELSE named Ephralia Valor, but eventually, reality rushes in like a warm flood, washing the surprise away and replacing it with a warm glow of /being needed/. Eph slowly rises, though after only one step, pauses to curtsy. "My Tari." she whispers.
[2015/10/27 16:06] Emmaline Anundr Aldin holds out her hand, a call, a plea, a pledge. "Will you join me, join the Elven peoples in this call to service, Ephralia Valor?"
[2015/10/27 16:08] Ephralia: "I shall serve with joy in my heart, Tari Emmaline. It is well. It is right." Eph takes the hand and rises
[2015/10/27 16:09] Merialeth Windstar glanced over as Emma called to Eph, the soft dip of her head in acknowledgment, and agreement. Ephralia had done her part in fighting the dark druids in the deep woods, and Meri was glad to know her. Her smile warmed, her heart jumped a little in her chest and she whispered a soft "Congratulations, Malantur..."
[2015/10/27 16:11] Emmaline Anundr Aldin turned to those present and said, "Then let it be known that Ephralia Valor now be named Eldari, Malantur, my Second," and lifted her voice, the Song filling the Great Hall, magical vibrations pummeling the very walls with its power, sealing the call, "We Are One
As Our Warmth Is The Fire
As Our Breath Is The Air
As Our Tears Are The Waters
As Our Body Is The Earth
In All Life
In All Things
We Are One." The Song was a pledge to Ephralia from not just the Tari, but from Emma...her friend.
[2015/10/27 16:11] Aurelia Lefevre (Guenevere Amaranth): /me felt tears forming in her eyes, knowing how loyal Eph was and how much this thing, this honour would mean to her. She felt genuinely happy for the lovely woman who was always so happy for...well, everything.
[2015/10/27 16:12] Emmaline Anundr Aldin made motions toward the seat to Emma's left for the Malantur to sit there.
[2015/10/27 16:13] Ephralia: "Gonna bawl my eyes out, now!" Eph mumbles, though for the most part she holds it together and manages to sit. Her expression morphs between grins and watery-eyed smiles
[2015/10/27 16:13] Nadora Toza gasps softly as the music fills the air. She tilts her head as she watches curiously. The elven magic and ways were strange to her, but she found them oddly soothing. Normally she was uncomfortable around so many others, but this was a rather welcoming place truth be told. She shifts in her seat just slightly to get a better view.
[2015/10/27 16:13] Emmaline Anundr Aldin then says, "Merialeth, come forward."
[2015/10/27 16:15] Merialeth Windstar 's eyes shifted from Ephralia to Emma, the tip of her head and that warm smie widened. Her steps careful as she moved forward to stand before not just her Tari, but her friend "What is it you wish of me, my Tari?" It was more than a simple question, it was everything.
[2015/10/27 16:19] Emmaline Anundr Aldin lifted her voice once again as though a thousand elves filled the Great Hall. "Elves are magic. It is our heritage. It is our blood. It is our right. You, Merialeth have been placed here for a reason. You are that Magic in our blood. The Lutphen Laer Maimben, the Spell Song First. To this I call you, Merialeth. Do you accept this post? Will you sit the chair of the Quel'dorei, the Elven Council? Will you be the magic of our blood?"
[2015/10/27 16:22] Merialeth Windstar felt the power of Emmaline's Voice pulse through her as powerful in her own right. Her lips curving, the slight tilt of her head as she Sang her reply, the teasing of Magic through the air as she offered "As you wish it, so it shall be, for the betterment of all, and for our blood, I am yours, the Magic in our Blood as you are the Soul, my Tari." She'd dip down to one knee, dipping her head, her wings spread wide, then drifting down as well as if bowing to her to graze the tips across the ground.
[2015/10/27 16:27] Aurelia Lefevre (Guenevere Amaranth): /me squeezes her husband's hand, her heart so very happy for the tiny magical elf who was so difficult to read, yet always humble and filled with mysteries. It seemed Meri had often had sorrow in her life, and she was happy to see joy.
[2015/10/27 16:27] Emmaline Anundr Aldin states, "I proclaim you Merialeth, Eldari Lutphen Laer Maimben of the Eldari of the Vale," then once again holds out her hand, waiting till Meri takes it before she begins to Sing the binding pledge, a life to a life, a life to a people, "We Are One
As Our Warmth Is The Fire
As Our Breath Is The Air
As Our Tears Are The Waters
As Our Body Is The Earth
In All Life
In All Things
We Are One." As the Song fades, Emma's smile is radiant.
[2015/10/27 16:30] Merialeth Windstar saw the hand extended, her eyes lifting, that crystal green gaze searching, and smiling ever so softly before she'd take Emma's hand, her grasp light and lifted again to her feet, the fluttering of her wings as they curled in tight behind her, her chin for once not tucked against her chest, but her manner still quiet as she murmured Diola lle, my Tari, my dear Cousin..." the Song lifting and Meri's own Magic infused with it as she sang a soft descant to Emma's melody, binding.
[2015/10/27 16:34] Emmaline Anundr Aldin felt the addition of Meri's magic. It was enough to make her slightly breathless with the glory of it. It was a long moment before she could finally make one more announcement. "Aurelia Lefevre, will you come forward?"
[2015/10/27 16:35] /me Gales Hawkblood looked at his beloved and smiled
[2015/10/27 16:36] Merialeth Windstar slipped to the side, and dashed a warm smile to Aurelia as she was called forward, the tip of her head as she waited to see what honors would be bestowed.
[2015/10/27 16:37] Aurelia Lefevre (Guenevere Amaranth): /me jolted her head up, knowing that she had not done anything wrong, but with that eerie feeling she was getting in trouble again. Elegantly but prepared to be apologetic, she rose, and curtsied so low her wings almost touched the ground. "Yes, my Tari Emmaline?"
[2015/10/27 16:41] Emmaline Anundr Aldin 's voice dropped almost to a whisper, the magic still woven into every word, however. "Do you know that I am proud of you? Do you know that you are all that I could ask an elf to be? Do you know that I see you and I see hope for the Eldari? I see in you the beginnings of something great." Now her voice lifted for all to hear, "I declare Aurelia Lefevre, now advanced to the rank of Eldari Tumbeo." She smiled and added, once again, almost whispering, "And I cannot wait to discover the Path you choose as you grown into the elf I know you can be."
[2015/10/27 16:45] Aurelia Lefevre (Guenevere Amaranth): /me looked up and met the eyes of the Tari, her normally impassive purple gaze showing her heart and love for the people who had accepted her as one of their own. And she was not in trouble! It took work for her to contain her emotions properly, though she did, and said, "Thank you for such a wonderful honour and your kind words, my Tari. They are as a blessing to me. You have given a family to one who has lost all, and you have my eternal loyalty." She bowed her head quietly.
[2015/10/27 16:46] Emmaline Anundr Aldin once again offers her hand, and when it is taken, Sings the binding pledge, "We Are One
As Our Warmth Is The Fire
As Our Breath Is The Air
As Our Tears Are The Waters
As Our Body Is The Earth
In All Life
In All Things
We Are One." The smile she gives Aurelia is one of deep pleasure and pride.
[2015/10/27 16:47] Aurelia Lefevre (Guenevere Amaranth): /me rises and takes the Tari's hand, bowing elegantly, but full of joy.
[2015/10/27 16:47] /me Gales Hawkblood Let a big smile escape from him. It was a proud moment, and he couldn't be prouder in his beloved.
[2015/10/27 16:48] Merialeth Windstar 's own smile warms again, the soft dip of her head and a murmur of "Congratulations, Aurelia..." then let her voice trail off to silence again
[2015/10/27 16:49] Emmaline Anundr Aldin takes a deep, satisfied breath and says, "There will be other appointments, but for this night, I think this is a fine beginning. I name this first Court of the Eldari complete, and I tell you, diola lle, for being a part of it."
[2015/10/27 16:53] Nadora Toza smiles and wants to applaud, but has the feeling this isn't the time nor place. She stands, reaching for her staff and makes her way quietly back outside before anyone else begins to leave. It had been quite an experience to be sure. She'd never quite felt musical magic before and she had to say that she quite liked it. She makes a clicking noise with her tongue as she reaches the doorway and her falcon, Gethin, comes back to her to land on her shoulder.
[2015/10/27 16:56] Merialeth Windstar lifts to her feet, making her way back to Emma as she murmurs "I have work that must needs be done, but you have only to call me and I will be here." She'd give Emma a warm smile, then shift that same warmth to each in turn, then stepped away to head back to the Tower.
[2015/10/27 16:57] Emmaline Anundr Aldin gives Meri her happiest smile. "I will see you soon, Eldari Lutphen Laer Maimben," using her entire title.
[2015/10/27 16:59] Ephralia: "Whooo-ee! This's quite the trick!" Eph grins
[2015/10/27 16:59] Merialeth Windstar couldn't help it, she blushed some and dipped her head again "Diola lle, my Tari, my friend..." to Meri, those were the parts that mattered most, and so she'd go.
[2015/10/27 16:59] Aurelia Lefevre (Guenevere Amaranth): /me walks towards Emma and Meri, and bows respectfully. "You have done me a great honour, my Tari! I must be getting back home to attend to some duties, but I shall also be there whenever you need me." She made a mental note to visit Meri in the Tower when she could.
[2015/10/27 15:42] Emmaline Anundr Aldin makes her way to the throne room. It was time to begin.
[2015/10/27 15:43] Aurelia Lefevre (Guenevere Amaranth): /me enters, and bows in respect as she passes Emma. "Vedui, Tari Emmaline". She follows Eph and Gales into the hall.
