Tales from the Lands of Uthrandir - The King's Rival
eithna for Queen Nari Arras - Matron of Mosayis
The youthful dainty bibliognost known as Nari Arras has been known to show overwhelming kindness to all who cross her path.
She comes from a long bloodline of Noble Lords and Ladies. Whilst she is young, she posses a wit that is known to few. The wealth and intellengence of her line has secured her great dominance in Caerundal.
The Matron of Mosayis looked upon the pitiful King with kindly expression. Yet her words were precise and rythmic, as if she were reciting some well known poem.
"Young King Silverleaf. Your plight and the plight of your people are grave indeed. I cannot fix upon the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which this plight will be ended. but for my own part, I wish you well."
"Will you take tea before you leave?" she asked with a polite smile.
The Matron walked toward the elegant selection tea's displayed lavishly upon the antique birch table. Taking her time, she carefully selected which silken pouch of leaves she would place in her golden tea cup. As she began to pour the scalding water over the sun dried rose petals she calmly replied to King Roland Fairchild.
"Power and ambition are different things, though the words are often used as the same. A person may be ambitious without being powerful. Power relates more to cunning and patience. Not from un-ending force or undying need."
"Silly things do cease to be silly if they are done by sensible people in an impudent way."
