[Maxence]

Blessed are they who stand before The corrupt and the wicked and do not falter. Blessed are the peacekeepers, the champions of the just. An unknowing king stood in darkness and shadow as the soft blush of morning tinted the dunes. Maxence's vigil had begun in the early morning, only allowing mother moon and her stars to stand watch over him as he gave his wishes and threnodies to Solis. Today he was to hunt a beast he'd never laid eyes on, never heard it's cry, never smelt nor beheld even a single trace of it's being - it seemed an impossible feat to the commander of only sixteen hands and a few extra inches. Surely this great beast was revered as an 'elder' and called a Teryr for a reason and, while he did not wish to chance his death on one more badge, he also did not wish to lead the Solterrans to slaughter.  Wisdom demanded that they find another way to elect a leader. Seeking out a fight with one of the largest and feared beasts on the continent was foolish to say the least, though what kind of flaccid prick would he appear if he demanded the hunt called off mere minutes before it's first hulloo? It was the people's choice - it would proceed.  and so he watched, he waited, keen eyes of a drenched sea scouring the desert for any sign of the others joining the hunt. With no weapon at the ready and no less than his harness to keep his hide from breaking in to two, doubt continued to challenge his flourishing heart. It would never overcome - his chest of gold was one not so easily usurped, his resolve hard to strip.  THE TERYR HUNT BEGINS @Seraphina @Leviathan @Bexley @Eden @Inkheart @Avdotya @Torstein Next round the Teryr will appear! It will begin when everyone's replied, or on the 20th
