IT MUST BE LONELY
when you're up there looking down
Off he has sent the phoenix , back to her home . If anything , he has found amusement in threats and posturing from a newly crowned Sovereign in Denocte . He knows well of the affairs of the bad blood between the Courts , and has never given a damn of any of it . He had been the Champion of Battle when it had been at its crescendo before , a peak of clashing titans , then it had petered out to ash , but gnashing teeth had remained .
He had grown tired of their childish antics , himself . Of course , it was at that point he had turned his back on Novus itself , and had not seen fit to come back for a while . Even coming back had been a chore ; it had been an event of itself . Too many idle places , too much warfare . He's a creature bred for war but he has since settled since his antics under the first crown he had worn ( and shattered ) .
Even so , Novus seems full of women like Israfel , spouting their fire and their posturing , believing they can sway him or maybe make him budge or fear them in some way . But fear isn't respect . Respect doesn't come from fire and posturing , either .
But amusement can .
The letter had brought too much amusement , because he is not moved by the threatening words in the slightest , if only because he doesn't care about it . Thus , he had sent the Phoenix back with a reply of his own , to wherever she may go . He wagers likely straight to the lap of the Queen .
"Congratulations on your own ascension.
Maybe you'll find comfort in knowing I don't give two shits on the bad blood between our courts or the politics , because it was never my specialty . I never dabbled in them , wasn't ever interested . Crowns aren't new to me , neither are fancy posturing and threats , because I'm not afraid of you or much of anything .
That was the most amusing letter I've ever read .
I have no qualms , so rest your fiery head on whatever pillows you want to .
Maybe Denocte will finally rise from its own silence with you ruling it . Or perhaps make itself a little more known , instead of hiding away and cowering among the shadows , as it has before . Or setting fires to your own forests and people , as one of your predecessors was prone to doing ( which I don't recommend ) .
I plan on reviving my people , I hope you plan on doing the same . I think they've all been a little too stagnant too long , don't you ? They all need a little ... hope , isn't that what it is ?
