[Dec. 23] [BoFIV] All Arise
Title: All Arise
Day/Theme: Dec. 23, 2014 "the morning sun crosses the threshold"
Series: Breath of Fire IV
Character/Pairing: Nina/Ryu
Rating: G
The first sunrise of the new year and the sun unfurls across the floor of the queen's chambers, high in the tower of Wyndia Castle. Nina awakes to the chirping of birds and the whir of the wind through the grates and kites and bells and towers, all the many places meant for air to flow and power, or just generally enliven, the palace. Woren in the Plains Capitol, Ludia the Trade Capitol. Wyndia is the Wind Capitol- it could never be any other day.
The queen has slept well, as she has most her days- long ago as an innocent child and again with the surety of a ruler doing all she can, and with a strong and good husband at her side. She sits up and stretches, her arms, her wings. The sun is climbing slowly, making its way over the capital and up the foot of her bed, headed toward inch by inch toward her sleeping husband's face. That won't be enough to wake him though. Ryu has been a deep sleeper as long as she's known him.
It's good though, because she doesn't have to worry about disturbing him. She slides from the bed and walks to stand before the window and face the sun. It doesn't matter here that she's scarcely clothed- this is the highest part of the castle and no one but the birds will pass by. Magic warms the stone structure enough to keep the inhabitants comfortable in these winter months, but the rays of the sun still feel warmer, natural, encouraging.
Another day begins and with it another year. Nina's day will include fancy dress and official pomp and ceremony, praying for Wyndia's continued peace and prosperity, but for now, she will greet the year with private prayer and quiet peace.
