I shouldn’t be talking about this. Not with the void, and the mountain collapsing, and all the angry people outside, and all the fighting. [ She sighs softly. No matter how many festivals and feasts there are, the violence and chaos never seems to stop. ]

The last time my Papa went on a trip, he was gone for a whole week. It felt like forever and ever. [ She bites her lip to keep herself from crying. ] Now I’ve been here for a year, and…. and--

I keep on thinking about how Papa would always make breakfast in the morning. And I think about my brother calling me Monster, and me stomping on his foot! And how Kero-chan used to eat all the cake in the house! Or all the times I could always call Tomoyo, and she’d always be there with me.

[ To think that the last time Sakura saw them was so long ago... it hurts, more than anything has hurt her before. ]

We were brought here to protect our court, and I know I should help! I want to help! [ She is, in her own way. Even if she wasn't there to help with the collapse. ] But... I don’t understand. Why are we fighting? Unseelie. Seelie. People without shards. We could help each other get home!

Why do we keep on fighting, when we could help each other?

[She hesitates, worrying that her words may be making people upset. That's the last thing Sakura wants.

There's a long pause before she speaks again. ]

What happens at home while we're here?

[ The feeds turns on to show Leo, visibly shaken, dirt on his face from where he'd fallen after losing his already tenuous hold on the mountain. He hadn't bothered to clean up yet, too focused on watching the aftermath before hauling out of Unseelie territory to find somewhere relatively safe. ]

We lost Mt. Verla. And the Pyrii... walked right into the Void. Like they didn't have anything left to stay for.

[ With their home gone, he supposes that they really don't. It isn't like they wanted to be saved, anyway. They hadn't even tried, and that disturbed Leo quite a bit, though not as much as seeing them march to their deaths. ]

And I can't... I don't know what happened, if it has something to do with them disappearing or not, but... I can't use my fire. [ His voice trembles as he speaks, looking down at his hands with a shake of his head. ] I tried. Over and over, but I can't do it. I've never... not been able to do it before.

Can anyone else use fire magic? Firebending, or whatever?

[ There's a hesitation, but he asks, ] Is there any way to get it back? Would Shard training help?

[Joshua appears to be out in the courtyard. As always, he's relaxed and casual. However, he also seems thoughtful.]

A calm before the storm.

[It seems like he doesn't realize he's said this aloud, as he moves on without further comment.]

Well, since it seems to be of greater necessity now than over the past year, I've given some thought as to alternate weapons I could use. I've been able to narrow it down to magic and archery. [His smile is almost sardonic.] I'm afraid I don't have many, or any, of the qualities necessary for pursuit in close combat weapons. On that note, I also wouldn't object to learning how to more effectively utilize my shard, especially since recent events indicate that we may have more of a need to learn.

[Joshua has an avid interest in keeping himself alive, thank you very much. He's also not stupid enough to think that he'll be safe from combat situations.]

Oh, and before I forget! I have one, teensy little thing I'd like to know. I love fiction books as much as the next person, and I have something of a passion for history. I'd like to take some recommendations on what are good books to read. With luck, I can see about reading them in Caer Glaem's impressive library.

[...Yeah, because history books are totally considered "light reading," Joshua.]

Alternatively, I also like to hear about the latest gossip.

[He gives a little wave before signing off.]

[ A few hours after Ariadne's post, which came after the monarch audience.

Lancelot's voice is clear and calm, if a little tired. This sort of thing always drains him. ]

For those who do not know me my name is Lancelot, I am marshal of the Seelie forces. If we have not met before, forgive me. Things have been busy of late, and today is no exception. I would like to preface by saying if you have any questions you are free to approach me, either by locket or in person. I am often in the training grounds here in Caer Glaem or over in the White Citadel. I never turn away a question or help offered, and I do my best to be transparent and honest in my answers.

Recently a lot of activity has been noted from a group known as the Cult of the Fox. For those who do not know, they are a native group who have a strong anti-shardbearer sentiment. Since all of us are shardbearers this is a little difficult to ignore, and ignoring it is not something I would recommend in the slightest.

( [ I will do my best to explain ] )
