O, the noble warriors of the Great Houses of Mice, who bicker endlessly, shedding blood on the fertile mosslands and residue fields you were born to protect... do you not see the helplessness of it all?

03 from demon raven :/
GREY DID NOT SO MUCH AS STEP INTO NEW WORLDS THAN FALL INTO THEM. some misconstrued alice realm of horror in place of wonder. caught in-between, she failed in the crossing more often than not. the air of limbo a familiar stench to her, it came back with her when she returned to brighter shores. no matter her visitations and though she may belong more to the mutated mosslands of the halfway she was only a visitor here ( and at times a cartographer ) to come upon a creature more umbratile than she in these dark corners of the bonewood; well it was a feat indeed one far beyond any pedigree she had when it came to summoning enchantments.
the energy is palpable the way the whole of the atmosphere bends towards the presence of the looming dark figure. fascination and fear make for a heady concoction brewing beneath her skin. it seems a thousand eyes of the deepest ruby bear into her then yet here it is no secret what lays beyond her fair veneer. the ripe fruit of her complexion housing flies, yet the sweetness of rot lingered in the air. the changeling asks not for any introduction or explanation yet it comes in palpable decree. one which has her tilting her head to better observe the demoness.
❛ i don't believe in gods... but you must be something close. ❜ a haltingly candid assessment of the situation. she is shocked though not so dumbfounded that she is incapable of speaking her mind. ❛ to come this far you would have to be. ❜ it said little about her own constitution ━ as a well-adorned corpse it was natural for her to be able to cuppy this space.

@elderbloodcarrier || LIKED for a STARTER with Lyrian
Silence enshrouded, every step of bare feet against the moss of the earth beneath taken with caution. Something in the area felt wrong, felt unexpected and undefinable - the very air nigh electric with the buzz of energies. Pale brows furrowed, the observations made with emerald eyes continuing even after he took pause to further survey surroundings.
Always had he needed to be careful, his kind having perished long before the year at hand - a rare few of them dotted across the entirety of the continent. Facial markings oft made him a target, elongated ears noted from afar by those all too often carrying ill intent - but the countryside seldom held such fates, not when one was careful.
'T was perhaps why he was particularly unnerved for his surroundings were naught but woodland and mosslands, a lake and naught more - - naught of particular interest unless one was seeking herbs and such sort, like he.
For but the length of a moment, he placed his staff upon his back and collected some of the plant leaves before him - knowing that drying them out for use would not take too long - but ‘t was then that he paused; the bizarre feeling he had nestled within his chest growing ever stronger;
“If you are able to hear me, I would much rather you show yourself-” He utters, still continuing his motions of carefully collecting the dainty leaves while ears took note of surroundings.

So these two are important figures in Icelyn's life...they are her mother and her nursemaid/advisor respectively.
The story began when Maria was the next in line to the throne after her mother, Queen Mune, passed on. Before she was to take the throne, she wanted to travel and left the colony in Anya's care (she's been in the colony as an advisor for many years, she knew she had no need of fear.) Being only 19 at the time, Maria would admit she was young and easily taken in by the travels she went through, and seeing places and people. She traveled through Hollownest, Deepnest, Fungal Wastes, City of Tears, and other such places before meeting the man who'd she only referred to as Icelynn's father.
Icelyn was only told her mother and father dueled and that her father lost...not because he was weak, but because her mother used skill and wit to beat him. After word, they hung out, got to know another on a personal level, mated for...reasons (Maria mated for love, but she's not exactly sure if the feelings were returned or if he was mating to continue his legacy) and after words, both parted on good terms all things considering.
Back at home, she laid an egg which soon hatched into Icelyn...and was fed the wrong royal jelly. Rather than the fire red jelly, she got the experimental ice blue jelly. Which gave little Icelynn ice powers rather than fire powers that most fire ants do.
Maria was worried as her baby grew...she loved and raised her as any good mother would with their child; with love care, discipline, and teachings. However, Maria noticed many looks, as did her advisor Anya, to Icelynn as she grew more formidable with her powers and skill. And much to Maria's worry, it all came to ahead one day on Icelyn's seventeenth birthday when a group of dissenters attempted to abduct her...and were killed by Icelyn's power.
At this, the majority of the colony went into mob mentality mode and demanded that Icelyn be jailed for fear of her abilities. Maria quacked and wailed over what had happened...it was not her daughter's fault. She was protecting herself...how could she imprison one for self defense? Let alone her child and the kingdom's heir??
Luckily, this was where wise Anya stepped in and gently suggested exile...a way to keep the dear girl alive, and the Queen would be more than welcome to visit her. Why? Because Anya would be looking out for her.
You see, Anya has been an advisor for 15 queens, including Maria, and she was saddened to see the colony being changed to such a hive mind state, even with Maria attempting to change the traditions of her mother and grandmothers. She wanted a change of pace and scenery...and she adored Maria and her young daughter very much, like her own granddaughters...no way would harm befall them.
So with the descion, Icelyn and Anya headed off to the mosslands to live out there life. They found a good house, fixed it up, and began their life there. Anya watching Icelyn train much more freely and spiritedly here than back at the colony, and being happier over all told the old ant lady she did the right thing. And of course with Maria visiting every so often, things were good.
Soon enough, Icelyn headed off on her own journey, both Anya and Maria watching, worried but knowing she'll be ok...

Had to make a quick run into “Downtown” Moss Landing. Which is a very cool little town. With a Cal State campus and a graveyard to wander around in. And this glorious GIANT MOTORCYCLE.
