Rufus Oryan · Posted: Tue Sep 28, 2004 5:45 am Post subject: An Announcement

A fellow dressed in fine cloth, wearing colors of Royal Blue and Gold stands about a crowd in the Isle of Serpents Hold. He unrolls a parchment and begins to speak loudly

"Gather round. By Wishes of Lord Rufus Oryan, Governor Regent of Britannia I wish to release the names of the decided members of his Cabinet." He Takes a breath and clears his throat for a moment, looking about the crowd, "The Names are as Follows:"

"Lady Labelle Decantor of the Paladins of Virtue, is now Acting Chamberlain of the small Council and respective Loyalists of the Regency of Britannia. With her wisdom and patients we beleive that she shall hold true to her postion and tend to affiars in the absence of The Regent."

He Pauses for a moment...

"It is in the best interest of Justice, and to further balance out the responsibility of his lordship, Governor Regent Rufus Oryan reinstates and reactivates the Position of Justicar. Said position is to be held by, Nazralte of the Purus Decretum. His sheriff shall be named as Elected."

He wipes a bit of sweat from his brow as he listens to the various responses throughout the crowd...

"Diplomacy and affairs to be handled abroad and about the lands of Lord British will be handled by the High Ambassadors to the Regent. His Lordship has chosen One Lady Sarah Oryan, Sultana of Nujel'm and Lord Isk of the Hand of Humanis as ambassardors to the Regency."

"Lady Lily Prower of the Guardians of Spiritwood is named Event Coordinator and shall be responsible for such..."

The messenger rolls the parchment back up and places it in his pack.

"As his Lordship ponders amongst the Loyalists, he shall release the rest of his choices, to fill the remaining positions. All actions are noticed and accounted, consider thy alliances, affiliations and actions...."

The Messenger moves through the crowd ready to move to the next province...

Pacing back and forth her great dress swirls around as her hands clinch into and out of tight fists. Kicking the parchment that held the announcement of positions out of her way she seethes with anger. Totally taken by surprise by this news Sarah is bewildered and enraged making her lose control of her emotions and yelling out…..

“How could he! How could he put me with that…that Hu-man!” Taking longer strides as if the sound of her voice were making her more angry, she stops and looks at the dropped parchment. In a flurry she picks up a bedpillow from the rich carpet and throws it hard. Hitting the bed the pillow then bounces unexpectedly, hitting one of the many books off the high pile on the bedside table.

“He knows how much I loathe that man…not only is he a Hu-man that I can overlook. I did when I felt love for Rufus..but ISK…he is a known elf-hater! By the Goddess, what were you thinking of, my husband? Is this a way you wish to silence my nagging? My disapproval of his past appointments? To force me to become allied with him, now I must support him?” Answers fall quiet to her ears but she can feel her body slowly coming under control as her mind works on this quandary. Going over to the bed she picks up the pillow and the fallen book. Looking at the title she smiles back at it. Running her slender fingers over the rich cover Sarah whispers “Balance…tis all that he sees. What a clever man I married, a very clever man indeed.”

Moving to the mirror, Sarah puts up her long locks of hair and pins it up. Showing off her elven features even more she smiles back at her reflection. “I wonder how Isk has reacted to this news, or did he already know? Matters not, he will find out what kind of steel elves are made of. I am no longer that young plaything he manipulated with the powder so long ago.” Sarah pulls her chin up as if in defiance then looks away. Unsure of the conviction behind her words she leaves to seek out her husband, a proper thank in her own special way is in store for Regent whenever she can find her husband.
