Post by Protea Kyanite on Aug 27, 2017 0:16:48 GMT -8
Protea had been planning to do this since she became Queen. The Blackthorn Manor just didn't suit her, and it had too many bad things tied to it. To preserve it, she used her magic to literally teleport the entire castle to another open plot of land not terribly far away so anyone who wanted to visit Blackthorn didn't have to go far. Unfortunate her chaos magic made purple vines and flowers sprout all over Blackthorn in the meantime. "Oops..." she said with a sigh and shook her head.
Now she looked at the empty plot of land that used to hold Blackthorn. "Hm..." she opened up the scroll that held her treasury and examined some of the spare funds. She would need to hire some people to help her for sure. First things first... she needed to gather materials and hire some stone masons. Then she would need someone to draw up blueprints for her vision. Finally, they could get started with building. It was going to take some time, but she was ready to build up a new castle to truly represent the Capital in the way it deserved.
(Please feel free to join in on this to help me reach the post count of building the new castle and some opportune rare interactions with Protea. I'd be grateful for the help.)

Cairogen had heard about work being done about the castle, it wasnt hard after all when blackthorn sudden disappeared and reappeared somewhere else. He heads out to the castle grounds and waves to the Queen "Good morning Queen Protea, hard at work i see?" He walks over to her and looks around at the vacant lot "So, whats the plan and what do you need? Jason gave me leave to use any of the shops crafters that may be needed."

She saw Cairogen approach and smiled, clasping her hands in obvious delight at someone coming to aid her. It seemed she wasn't quite as hated as she first thought. "Greetings Cairogen!" she extended her hands for him to take, not to kiss or anything but just in friendly greeting.
"He did? How kind! Obviously I could start to build it up brick by brick with my magic alone, but that would take ages as I would get too exhausted too quickly. Plus... my magic has a bad tendancy to do things on its own too. Kind of chaotic in nature I've come to realize." a sheepish laugh and then she moved on to the next topic at hand.
"So I'm not exactly an architech, but here are my ideas..." she handed over some notes and crudely drawn pictures for him to see. "What do you think?"

Cairogen shakes her hand and nods "Yeah, well its dads orders for the shop to be a benefit to Tyran as best it can. After all he has no need for money." He nods as she talks about her magic "Well dont worry, ive had quite a bit of practice with earth magic so this wont be too hard" He looks over her notes then gives a whistle. A small man with thick glasses comes from behind the gates "This is Wilbur, he handles most of the shops design work and has experience in Architectural design"
He makes a few addendums to the notes than hands it to Wilbur "Ok you know what do do Wilbur" The man nods and sets up a portable table and gets to work. Cair looks back to Protea "Now i brought a few stone samples for you to look over, to decide what the castle is to be built out of." He opens a bag and sets several types of stone out "These are good stone and though they may not be too hard i can compress them to increase their strength factor dramatically, so feel free to choose one you like rather than worry about durability. I have another Ore thats a type of obsidian , but its a black ore and i didnt think you wanted to replace a black castle with another black castle, even if it looked shiny" He chuckles a bit.

She listened closely and greeted Wilbur in appropriate fashion. He seemed to understand what she wanted and went off to make appropriate blueprints for it. Then Cairogen was giving her stone samples to look over and choose from. The thought to pick something she liked and not worry about the defense of the structure was a relief. "Yes... I'd rather avoid having another Blackthorn. Afterall, there are just too many bad things attached to that castle. This will be a new start for all... something for everyone to enjoy."
After looking over them all, she decided on a white swirled marble for the walls. "That should look nice and be in direct contrast to Blackthorn. I'd like to accent the roofs in... hmm," she looked over the roof tiles shown. "This one," she picked out a coral colored brick, close to the tone of her eyes. "Yes I like that!" She smiled brightly at Cairogen. "You've been a lot of help, thank you!"

Cairogen nods to her and gathers up the stone samples. Another came from their waiting point beyond the gates, a young Pooka girl (bunnymen). Cair hands her the marble sample and the coral like sample "Head back to the shop and have Mr. Brood contact the quarries. We'll need a lot of the marble. If they ask for specifics tell them enough to build two castles with. As for the slate i would say about two tons worth. Any extra we dont use can be used for crafting in the shop" The Pooka girl nods and runs off with the two samples.
Cairogen turns back to Protea and nods to her "Its our pleasure. We'll serve as intermediary for construction materials for the castle. We can get supplies at cheaper prices and if there is a budget issue we can cover the extra and work out a deal with you about it. I doubt there will be much to worry about though as the supplies should be less than the dividend the shop had sent to you before. Plus there is the fund my father has set up for me, i dont mind helping out with it. After all i'll be working in the place too" He smiles to her.
Wilbur came back over and handed Protea a rough sketch of his design based on her notes to see how she liked it so far. Cairogen nodded to Wilbur and looked to Protea "If theres any modifications you want done just let him know so he can include it in the floor plan. I'll be relying on it when im compressing the stone to set things in place"Attachments:

An interesting but yet Surprising visitor appears. Yes it was Ronnie, but he wasn't in his fancy threads that he was in when he went to her royal meeting. He was in his standard battle attire of light armor and leggings of white and yellow designs. He was not alone as five young men seemed to quietly following after him. They didn't have the same presence at him, but they looked like they were seasoned workers in construction. Ronnie would stop a few feet from Wilbur, Cairogen and Protea. It seemed he was patiently awaiting to be invited over so that he can speak on the reason for his arrival. Ronnie gazes at Cairogen and saw that he had the makings of becoming the top advisor in Protea's court.

She nodded to those who had approached her from Cairogen's group and pointed them in the right directions, signed the right documents and approved the plans and layouts. "Well done," she said to them with a big smile and then was off to help oversee more things such as funding, which Cairogen was also happy to help support which she was grateful for.
It wasn't long before she noticed Ronnie. At first she didn't quite recognize him, but then it clicked and she offered a smile and turned to motion for him to approach. "Greetings Sir Breteuil, what brings you and your friends here today? Are you here to volunteer some work, or be hired perhaps?" she of course intended to pay any workers that helped unless they specifically said it would be volunteer work. It was important to pay people and help encourage the economy in the Capital.

Ronnie along with his group approached when given the OK. He offered a return smile as he said, “I am honored you remember me. “Actually I am here for a little bit of both or more precisely, these gentleman are here to offer their services to your cause. These five are among the ten best construction related workers in the Breteuil, they are extremely talented fellows. With that in mind, as I stated before The Breteuil have invested in helping you in the building up of your kingdom and trade. Instead of mere volunteer or coin pay we have a different type of trade in mind, we would like to exchange the services of these men for as long as you need them in exchange for permission of harvesting some wood from your oak forest in the far east. Ronnie would soon stop as he wanted to wait to see if the queen would be interested to hear more about the details or if she would politely refuse the offer.

Vici had been busy trying to come up with her own ideas for what would be her home, at least for the time being so long as her mistress remained queen, so had yet to be seen as she was busy trying to finish up all the details.
Soon though the mute girl came running up to her mistress and handed over drawings indicating things she wanted which seemed to be an art room for the major thing. She had yet to go beyond stick figures but she was hoping to fix that soon enough. She just would have to find that nice horned man that was at the meeting.
Another drawing indicated a special meeting room for the council in case the queen had forgotten. Some others had special passageways to escape in case any tricky fae got in or demons, or anything of that nature.
Vici smiled at Protea after she had looked them over and indicated with her hands that she wanted to help more as well. She would not just sit by and let her mistress do this all on her own.

Wulv soon came with bundles of cloth from their shop since they always had extra and the queen seemed to be in need of help with her new castle.
"I had some extra at the shop and thought you could use it for decor, curtains, things of that nature." they smiled to the queen wishing they could extend a more proper greeting at the moment but with their arms full it was a bit difficult.
"Just point me in the right direction and tell me what hues you would like to deal with and I shall be right at it."

The Queen listened to Ronnie speak and glanced in the direction he was indicating, then looked over his group of them as if to assess them with her own eyes. Outward appearance rarely gave much idea as to the skill of a worker, but it didn't hurt to get an idea of their physical ability. "I do not see that as a problem, as long as no one in that area has claimed it as their home. If you find parts of the forest that are not inhabited, and you are respectful to the creatures and animals that live there by replanting the trees and being careful to not uproot nests... I see no issue with it. Is that all you want? If so, I'll have my scribe write up the agreement for you."
It was then that the pictures were put into her hands by Vici and Protea smiled down at her as she looked them over. She only looked up when Wulv was approaching with their hands full of fabric. She smiled and glanced around, pointing to an area where they were gathering decor. "I do not have seamstresses or tailors yet, but you can put them there for now and a guard will make sure they are not stolen. Thank you so much, Wulv." She didn't use a sur title for Wulv because she still struggled with the fluid gender thing. Looking back down at the drawings, she thinks she got the gist of it all, only asking Vici to clarify on one or two points before walking over to the man Cairogen brought that was making the blue prints. "Could you incorporate these in please?" She helps explain the drawings to the man a bit more so he can decipher them, and then moves along to the next project, pleased with how many people were coming to help her with this. It truly would be the people's castle at this rate. She wondered how many more of them would have ideas for special rooms?
An area to the left of the castle was also being cleared and prepared for the altar to Tyr, which would double as a safe haven for those practicing dark arts without it spreading outside of the area of the altar. A private room for the vassal he left to serve her was set up in adjacent to this too.
On the right of the castle was the altar to Sinead which would double as a temporary clinic to house overflow of the injured so Sinead's temple wasn't over burdened. A private room for her vassal or visiting priests was also prepped so that the clinic could always have service.
The council room would possibly be the most comfortable room in the entire castle, since that is where most of them would spend the majority of their hours. She left the design up to her council to pick out, and let each of them have their own individually designed chairs. Protea was leaving the design of her room to last, to wait and see what materials were left and use those instead of taking from the piles first.

Ronnie quietly and respectfully listens to what the queen had to say. He was delighted that she was open to the door. Soon one of the guys spoke, “ Thank you honorable queen, we shall work hard to make your castle stable and glorious!” The other four made a fist pump as they were excited that the deal was going through seemingly. Ronnie bows again, “Thanks again, once you draw in the permissions and the limits you will allow us to harvest the wood, can you send it to our lands in the far east, it's a few miles from where the Oaks are (Eastern Tyran buildings under topic The Breteuil Family, Birth of Sanctuary City(trying to get my own building too)). Have it turned to Lady Crystal. Suggestion for guard to be human. IF you excuse me I must be going, I have several other appoi....” Ronnie felt his right hand tingling. It was similar to the feeling he felt art that council meeting, was that creature coming again. Yes Wulv was showing his face again.” Ronnie speaks a bit abruptly, “appointments, I will visit in a week to check progress.” Ronnie quickly turns and darts in the opposite way before he feel his bloodlust rise to much. H wouldn't pay much attention to Vici, considering she didnt seem to do the same with him either. He just wanted to get out of there.

Protea continued to direct people who showed up on where help was needed most at this current time. The plans seemed almost done, so putting the foundation would be next. Figuring out which rooms went where, and then the walls could start to be erected. She was careful not to use too much of her magic, knowing it would only cause more trouble than help. She also got hands on several times to help carry things back and forth, ruining a few of her dresses already but not caring.

The men left by the breteuil were hard at work, they followed directions for all of the engineers who had the plans. They helped to set the foundation, so that Protea could use some of her magic to help shape the outlines n such of the rooms. They could tell she was holding back for some reason, but none minded. They just focused on their task. They knew they had to work hard to earn every bit of oak for their home. They would also beckon Protea not to sully her hands with the work of commoners. She was the queen and should be more directing and commanding. Even a queen has to know her place. None would be foolish to say those words, but they wanted to handle all the labor and let the queen handle the easy part and possibly negotiate deals with new people arriving for work.

Cairogen brought in cart load after cart load of stone. The line seemed almost never ending, each stone cut for the castle being twice the normal size as was required. It was evident though why they were so large, as each piece he worked on shrank in size, compressed to be tighter than what nature could provide. He would also help in placing the stones, forming links between each stone so they would lock together forming a tighter bond.
He would also place iron rods in the stones, giving something similar to rebar to help support them. He would stop every now and then to talk with Wilbur about stone placement, designs and ideas on secret tunnels for the queens bedroom, throne room and council chambers. He kept himself quite busy during the construction, when not doing the above he would help the breteuil workers or the queen when she looked like she was having trouble with something.

Wulv gave a nods to the queen "I do work in clothes and could whip up any interior designs you may want. If you would rtaher I wait though I am strong and can carry any of this stone you need." Wulv offered the queen wishing not to just sit about idly they moved to start helping build where needed or pointed to.

Vici smiled at her mistress and gave her a hug before running off to try and carry the stones. She seemed a bit slow in doing so though not able to move as quickly as the others or lift the stones as well. But she refused not to help after all this would be her home as well.

Protea saw Vici try to lift some of the heavier building stones and smiled a bit. "Vici come here," she yelled over to her kindly. When the girl came to her she knelt over so her face could be closer. "You know what would be more helpful? If you could go over there," she pointed to a large flowery field near a river. "I need a whole lot of small stones, for decorating and for walking paths. I bet you would be the best at this job since you are smaller than the rest of these people and don't have to bend as far. Do you think you could do that for me? Just fill as many buckets and carts with pebbles as you can find." She rested her hand on Vici's shoulder, resisting the urge to ruffle her hair.
Then she moved over to the blueprints to double check them. "Hm, this part is important..." she reached down to the plans to touch them and then touch Wilbur. A soft blue glow appeared around both, and then it was over. Simple and brief. "We can't have enemies of the crown knowing some of these plans and passageways, so now only you and those you allow to see it will be able to know. Simply say 'granted' to the person you allow." This would be useful to the builders constructing those areas. Anyone trying to read the prints, overhear details, or look at the work though would find themselves somehow distracted suddenly. Ringing in the ear to block sound, blurry vision when looking at something, etc. but it was only temporary during the time they were trying to spy.
Unfortunately, her magic as it always did went crazy and shot out at one of the partially built up walls, turning the stone into lime jelly. She pinched the bridge of her nose, "...jelly... really...?" she groaned and apologized to Cairo for wasting some of his precious stone and hard work.
She could tell from some of the workers just by their looks that getting her hands dirty with grunt work was only hurting morale instead of helping, so she made sure to avoid doing so as much as possible and found herself off to do other tasks.
Occasionally through each day she would gather everyone to a large table and present them all with a feast to thank them for their hard work and fuel them back up. Anything left over was taken from the table by the servants and handed out to the homeless in the Capital.

The workers seemed please the queen had the smarts to know that doing grunt works was not inspiring the workers as much as hurting. They looked for her to be a leader not just a worker. She was doing a good job so far, well until she decided to help with her magic. One of the Breteuil sighs as he was making significant progress along with other volunteers. He had taught them some key construction skills that would improve efficiency and it was beginning to show until the queen turned some of their hard work to lime jelly..."
The Breteuil knew lamenting on the error would be pointless and would begin the removal of the jelly as the workers sent lacked the magical prowess to dispell the magic. They would be required to adjust other stones, so that they can properly fit it in the place in the ruin spot. They would also smoother out the area to seal the location.
When the time came all the Breteuil joined in the feast. Each made sure to thank the queen for the meal. They only ate enough to satisfied their stomach. None wanted to over eat and get sluggish. They would afterwards go back to doing the task that the supervisors instructed. They were every bit as dedicated to the cause as Ronnie advertise. They know they weren't just working to build Protea castle, but they where working to provide materials for their home to be built as well.

Progress was going quickly on the castle and she smiled in pride at how many people had come to help her. Each day she would walk around to each separate area and inspect how it was going, giving her input on anything she felt needed changed or that gave her concern.
There were also visitors to the castle still... as a Queen must do her duty to the people whether the castle was complete or not. Sure, she could still be using Blackthorn temporarily if she wanted, but it didn't feel like a home to her, especially after it was breached by the creature that attacked her and her people at her coronation. So a large tent (a few in fact) had been erected temporarily to give some privacy and shelter to those who were visiting in the meantime and Protea received people there for their worries.

The Breteuilian warriors would continue playing their part. They wanted to stand out among the many volunteers that gathered. They were instructed on the walk here, to gain status in building of the kingdom. It would give the Breteuil further positive points in the kingdom and can inevitable lead to influence. Many of the workers would help some of the less experience workers work on more efficient techniques on building certain walls and area. They were the first to volunteer to help other workers carry heavy equipment. They also displayed some occasional humility by not only following through with any request made by Protea but learning from other experienced workers. Two of the Breteuilian workers who happened to work together would watch Protea walk towards her private tent to meet with some guest about one thing or another. One of the guys said, "man I may not know what she is, but if I had a night with her, Woo!" The other guy shrugs, " Who knows Ronnie said nice things about her, but he also said he had no idea what she really was as the only thing he was told is that she somehow came birthed by Tyran itself, how Do tyran birth you and how do you turn out like that and not some rock base life form like a Golem, Forest creature or something. The guy would shrug, "Don't know but she got the juice." He nods his head as one of the taller Breteuil workers smack the two on the head and say, "Quiet down you don't know if the queen can hear you, focus on your work."

Wulv had overheard the man talking and resisted the urge to growl at them or chase them off. They had continued to move stone and saw how much the girl wanted to help when the queen beckoned her over. WUlv moved up and gave a slight nod to the queen shortly thereafter.
"You want I should go with her to offer protection? We cannot have you losing her after all now can we?" Perhaps hinting at something deeper, something they had seen but decided not to draw too much attention to since it seemed the queen had wished this to be the case.

Vici smiled at Protea and nodded silently then fetched a couple of buckets and went chasing down to the river to collect the pebbles Protea wanted. She needed to feel useful but had very little magic of her own, at least that had shown itself. The most so far it seemed she could do was change some physical appearances about herself mostly hair and eye color.
It was in no time at all that she had a bucket of pebbles ready for the queen.

Protea smiled at Wulv and nodded, "Thank you that would put my mind at ease for sure." She watched Vici run off with the bucket and chuckled when really not long after it was full of pebbles. Protea looked around and saw some empty wine caskets that would do. "Lets dump each bucket into those," she pointed over at the caskets.
"When we have all of those full, we'll have plenty of pebbles for what we need." She ruffled Vici's hair like she enjoyed doing and then sent her back off again.
She was unaware of what any of the men were saying, or at least she pretended to if she was. Scanning over any new blueprints for her approval, she made sure to correct any mistakes found in between her desires and the plans made, then would hand them back to the appropriate workers.
Each day that went by, she made sure to provide food and drink at a large table for any that wished to dine with her. If they didn't, she took no offense and let them go about their own business. As long as they were doing the work they promised, she would not get in their way.

Cairogen continued to work diligently, even when the queen accidentally jellified a wall, he simply laughed and helped the Breteuilian workers by swallowing the jelly up into a void gate. "Im sure that can be used as treats for the kids in the cities more impoverished areas" He would then get to work lifting stone into place to patch the hole. He kept up his pace without breaks each day he was there to work until it was time to go, joining the queen and the others to eat.
When he overheard the workers talking about the queen he joined up with them "I know shes pretty guys but i would suggest being careful what you say as your friend hear mentioned" His eyes turn cold and dark, like a killers. "Some people might get angry and simply tear your heads clean off before you have the chance to blink" His face changed to a more friendly one again "As for the being born of tyran bit, just accept it as is, Tyrans magic can create many wonders. My own brother was created purely through magic so its not unheard of. She wants to do everything in her power to help the people, thats what counts."
He pats them on the back then heads over to Vici "Wow, you got a lot of them didnt you?" He looks into the buckets then notices one was kind of bulbous "Oooh, a geode, These are really neat. They may look ugly and bumpy but if you crack them open, they have crystals inside" He lifts the stone up and bites it, cracking it in half with draconian teeth. The inside wasn't a fully formed geode but it was full of quartz "Hmm, not empty inside...but still its shiny at least" He hands it back to Vici "If the queen wants, find more of these and i can crack and shine them to look even more pretty"

The Breteuilian workers stiffen up when Cairogen randomly showed up and gave an ominous warning. After he walked of one said, "Dang what is his problem, it's normal to want someone pretty." The tall one said, " you dummies didn't read the report Ronnie provided that's Cairogen. He is one of her council, so suggesting that two lowly people such as yourselves could even be an interest to the queen is mute. Remember Royalty goes with Royalty, now get back to work. Ty and his group are already finished with three secters. We can't let him carry all the weight." The guys sigh as there were too many uptight around. They did understand they were there for a purpose and maybe it was best just to remember it and follow through with it. They would all go back to working on their particular jobs. It seems it would be work, sleep, eat and repeat for them. They would also work meticulous as they wanted the kingdom walls to be optimal stable.

After Laelia Kaliba had enacted the coup against Queen Protea and executed her, Laelia had poured over the designs for the palace with the local architects, engineers and several she had imported from New Arisalon. She wanted to be sure that this castle would be built properly to withstand a lengthy siege. And of course she had ideas for adjustments she wanted to be made to the blueprints.

When was the last time she'd sat down? She couldn't remember, really. The last time she could say with 100% certainty was when she'd sat down to lace her boots this morning. Since then, the day had been a whirlwind like all of the others since her coup against Queen Protea. Laelia couldn't decide if she was beginning to regret her decision or not. But what was done, was done, and she refused to turn back now.
"That's the wrong stone." She said firmly to two workers who were beginning to assemble the materials for the eastern portion of the outer palace wall. "It needs to be granite, not sandstone." After embarassed mutterings of apologies, the workers moved off to fix their mistake.
Laelia pinched the bridge of her nose, fighting back her impatience.
The butterfly knight didn't carry a threatening tone to the title, but that didn't stop Ehren from taking down anyone who doubted their strength. Tyran had different opinions on female warriors than her home city overseas. Not that they were welcomed with open arms.... Ehren saw how hard the new queen needed to work in order to gain respect. One day, she hoped, that same respect would be given to herself. Until they, Ehren had to hide her identity as her family's bannermen searched for her.
"My queen," the raspy voice spoke from the shadows before they stepped forward. The thin navy mask rested on the bridge of her nose. "Is everything all right?" There was a slight cant of the head as the question was spoken. Ehren was loyal to the only person who knew her true identity. Ehren felt a little guilty from keeping the secret from the queen's son, too, but for now it was best that only Laelia knew the truth.

Laelia folded her arms over her chest, tapping her fingers against her opposite forearm as she stared dourly at the offending stone that laid upon the ground. The sound of her unfamiliar title barely registered. It was like Ehren were speaking to someone else. Until she realized Ehren was speaking to her. Her head finally turned to acknowledge the knight who came to her side.
"Morgenstern." She greeted with a nod. The knight had entrusted her with a secret and Laelia had promised to keep it. While she knew of Ehren's true identity, Laelia addressed Ehren at all times as male, and by his chosen name. While she hoped that one day Ehren would no longer feel the need to hide, she respected the reasons for doing so.
"I would fire them if I didn't need the workers so badly." Laelia muttered with a shake of her head. "I have nothing against living out of tents." In fact she enjoyed the simplicity of it. "But things will feel more secure once the palace is finished construction."
Ehren's head bowed slightly at the use of their name. The corner of their lips twitched into a hint of a smile. The frustration was sad, but she couldn't help but admire the queen. Laelia was everything Ehren wanted to be... Or... maybe not the title, but the courage and the strength. One day... she would be.
"It's hard finding good help these days. I've been through about three different squires..." A sigh escaped. "But I do think that you're right. Once this place is secure, you won't have to worry as much. Tyran's been through a lot of... leaders. However they've always had you to protect them. I am glad I have the honor of serving you."
