I'm not abandoning you, affectionately

Joem wanted to protest the sudden role reversal, being treated like a child in need of encouragement or comfort. He refrained when he realized he was somewhat acting like one

...

I don't understand your relationship with my father

You will one day without my needing to explain it

That answer won't get you out of every question I ask.

I'll keep that in mind

Beram studied him for a long moment, taking in this side of him. Usually Sata answered all of his questions that weren't about who Beram really was, and he generally didn't show Beram his cold face. (After all, Beram's dark face would only rarely make an appearance and hadn't yet in this life.)

So he smiled, warmly, became the person he was for his lover, not his child. "It really is too complicated." There were too many things tied up in the concept of his almost children, especially when he didn't share them with Beram.

His difficult, precious, demanding children. He would never have children of his essence. It made the children of his power all the more necessary to cherish and protect.

Good evening, God, my sovereign Lord
I reach for You, cling to Your Word
Nothing less can I afford
If I'm to be reassured
For comfort comes from trusting You
And peace by walking in Your way
Through the hours, I've cone through
And by Your strength passed through this day
My hope is found within my sight
Visions and histories glowing bright
When You, O Lord, reached out to save
Me from every yawning grave
And all my sins and my mistakes
With Your mercy You forgave
In awe, I cry, what love like this!
Ignorance is pain, Your truth my bliss

good morning, God, I pray again
I'm thankful for Your perfect plan
the hope You hold within Your hand
to pour on me, such blessings when
I don't deserve Your matchless grace
but neither does the human race
Your favor granted in Your love
is not because of us or of
a human nature, prone to wander
no, You're our eternal Father
hold me, Lord, I pray today
and keep me in Your perfect way

Leshet had been born in Kinaang, high up the northern face of the then southern border, that is the Dragon Cliffs. She understood that Kinaang or Ginieng, dialect dependent, had grown up from village to town, and its proximity to the capital meant there were people not of her band living there. They could marry without waiting for a marriage festival after the Clans Gathering. Their guardian council was said to have a touchstone. She'd never asked or verified if it was the same one from before the war. It wasn't the god-marked only who had been targeted, and why would they have it if Leshet's three contracts were none traditional to her band.

From the time they sent her off to learn war, as an unrecognized child, she had never been back since.

Happy to! A brief background: the war clans are not a united polity. For the purposes of war and foreign policy, they are essentially four groups of clans, but for domestic purposes, each clan is sovereign itself. That said, the northernmost clan of Vannu uses the Hilakhot sequence in general parlance but the Paschtha sequence for anything under the war government.

1. aiyung - phoenix
2. tiger
3. seon - guardwolf
4. spearfish
5. greydeer
6. egumruhitzon - huntingbird
7. sunfish
8. snowtiger
9. rumhyitann - quickdeer (Paschtha / Vannu); rockdeer (Alhaies of Vannu / Hilakhot)
10. tsuve - dragon

The first three and the last one are native to their originating homeworld. The remaining species are native to the world they're on now.

These are the names of the days within their ten-day periods (one might say "they rest on the halves, greydeer and dragon", meaning the fifth and tenth days of the aghourre); the ten-day periods within a season (a season typically runs through snowtiger or quickdeer, which aghourre is swallowed by the equinox or solstice, days named for different dragons); and the elite military "hundreds", which consist of 100 units (the first hundred is the phoenix hundred, which contains units 1-100; thus, the 312th unit would be in spearfish). Anything placed in a sequence may use ordinal numbers or use the sequence names. Military units containing three squads may call them first, second, and third squad or phoenix, tiger, and guardwolf squad. Measuring cups and spoons that are whole increments rather than fractions may be labeled with an animal icon rather than number glyphs, though fractions will usually use numbers.

In dates and military units, the choice of sequence name or number name is usually going to alternate for ease of understanding. A huntingbird ten is 60, rather than saying "six ten[s]" or "a huntingbird dragon". If you say Spring's snowtiger to refer to a ten-day period, you'll call the day within it by its number, e.g. fifth day of the Spring's snowtiger. But if you want to name the day, you'd say the greydeer of Spring's eighth.

okay, some notes go here: Brín go in the desert between the True North and the Great City just to the west of the mountains bordering the War Clans, mostly along the lake mid-desert between those mountains and Lehwa's eastern border. Lehwa considers some of the desert their territory, but the Brín consider the desert theirs entire. The lake is fed by waters from the True North, and the original settlers mostly swept down from there, though they've always picked up some from east and south as well.

Gian becomes the Little Dragon of the Copper Court, ruling over the Great City (Elohwangian, Lo his child name, Gian his political name, Littleling his ward name, and the Little Dragon his name). His half brother Shian is a trader among the Brín. Shian's children are Antha and Haitha. Haitha expands dragon trade between the Great City, Brín, and the True North and marries a girl from the True North. Due to their actions and dragon migrations, the Garden Court is established as a port for shipping, mail, and dragon travel, as well as housing a massive enclosed plaza of carefully developed water system, garden, and animal raising to provide food to allow dragons to live there.

This precipitates the Joint Council of the Thaifka who determine whether the intent to lay stone and projected consumption can be supported by the lake. They were able to make agreements with the Great Court in the True North where She Who Awakens presides to establish the Icewater Court and send an established amount of water down the river. Young dragons who wish to join the Brín establish the Court of the Wall, defining the border with Lehwa, and registering with all the established Thaifka and requesting elders for their court, which ends up prompting the Joint Office of Customs. Dragons also establish the Court of the Waters just south of the mountains of the north and appoint themselves responsible for measuring and protecting the waters. They consider themselves Brín and choose to register with the Thaifka, lay open plazas always "open under the sky", pass the bracelet at the arrival of visitors, sending word when it's one of their own or arranging and smoothing potential trade with someone new, adopt no local currency, and guard anything sent downriver.

scribblemyname — 03/10/2023 1:39 PM

Haitha's son (oldest child, 3 younger sisters) notices that Shian is unhappy and feels his world has grown smaller and that the Thaifka are acting more as a governing body than a purely presiding body, but he doesn't want to start over or settle elsewhere from his chosen community. Haitha turns to Flame Blooms in Winter, who grants him her power, which enables him to create "freedom stones" to set in the open plaza, that it be always under the open sky. No one in the plaza can be compelled.

scribblemyname — 03/10/2023 1:49 PM

On the topic, the Copper Court includes Flame Blooms in Winter presiding and He Around Whom the Worlds Turn ruling. Her daughter Cold Under Fire was warded by Gian after he was warded by Flame Blooms in Winter from 11 years old. Cold Under Fire warded his two children by the half-dragon daughter of one of the youngest who flew over. Gian ruled beside Void Under Sunlight but Void Under Sunlight was injured during the Black Rain (TIAT), fighting alongside the Iron Dragon, and retired (to run off and go find the dragons of the True North). So Gian talks the Iron Dragon at the Court of Iron and Blood in the Undercity to give him Moonlight Under Water to rule beside him instead. He's stuck with him right up to ruling the Overcity though, and Void Under Sunlight becomes ambassador to the Council of Nations. Once Gian's Garden faction wins over the Songbirds and Citadel faction, Shian brings his wife and children to meet the Copper Court. Flame Blooms in Winter's daughter Flowers Under Sunlight had very eagerly showed up in Brín when she learned how to transform. She introduces the two to her three hatchlings, and Haitha ends up working with Snow Under the Sky and Light Under {Night}.

Leshet felt the shifting seasons lightly, the cooler winds and white mists of spring drifting through her, unable to chill her breath or dampen her skin. The sight of Tide and Moonlight at the stone table they'd chosen hit her harder, more familiar and less fleeting, for all spring was a mere four dragons previous, compared to the years since they'd paused their disparate circuits to cross threads again.

Moonlight stood tense and tall by the table, arms crossed, dark hair practically a cloak of its own in length. Tide at his shoulder was deceptively more relaxed, the godmark of his silver white hair barely brushing his neck.

The Dragon Hundred was as strong as the Phoenix Hundred.

Leshet's lifted her gaze to the scar on his face, an extra quirk to his wry expression. She raised her hand, but Tide halted her by the wrist. "Don't."

"Of course."

Leshet reactivated with the Elite after her first husband died, like soil awakening in spring, full of the seeds of winter. She'd belonged to the First Unit when she'd gone fallow; she belonged to it when she returned.

"I've redistributed the Undying," Yonyunn told her. She'd put the Curunde trio in the Nine Hundred Sixty-Third Unit.

Leshet understood. Hiding that some did not die of natural causes was a reasonable enough decision.

"I'm First," Leshet said. "I chose duty once."

Yonyunn hesitated, no doubt remembering the conversation that led to Leshet's assigned marriage. She relented.

Leshet remained.
