Aged Up/Breeding with a Purpose | Dramatic Flashback/Pre-Climax Climax | {Aphro Varies}
Even as the birds outside her window continued to chirp happily, Amelia's quill never left parchment, not bothering to look up from her work. Her hand moved fluently across the paper as she wrote down the last terms needed for the new law that would be presented to the council. After quickly signing her name at the bottom of the page, she placed the sheet on top of a stack, glad to see that the last of her paperwork was done.
Finally laying back in her chair, she sighed to herself as she glanced out to the window, watching as those birds quickly fluttered off the sill, swooping down towards the castle courtyard, careless and free. It made Amelia smile as her thoughts drifted back to just over a decade before, when her life was just as simple. Yes, she had duties, but she still had plenty of freedom to go outside Seyruun, to explore the world with her friends and perhaps save the world a few times for good measure. Sadly, those days were long gone, and those hopes far out of reach.
With her father's health beginning to fail, despite his stubborn persistance in the name of justice, and her sister still unlikely to return home anytime soon, she had taken up the mantle of ruler herself. She didn't wish for the man who raised her to end up entirely bedridden, so had finally made him agree to let her take over most active duties. As for Gracia, well, it was uncertain whether or not the elder daughter would come back, and the kingdom couldn't simply wait until they had some notice. Thankfully the younger girl had been prepared for the possibility, and had taken things in her stride, even if she had to make sacrifices. Her change in lifestyle was evident in her appearance, her hair longer and curling past her shoulders, her frame taller and figure fuller than when she was a teenager, shown off in elaborate royal gowns. Still, for those who knew the feisty princess of so many years previous, hidden under the formal demure, a spark still lingered in her bright blue eyes that no title or task could take away.
Still, there was one matter that persisted in causing her a fair amount of stress, that being of how exactly the family line would continue. Needless to say, it wasn't something she really wanted to dwell on. Despite the maturing she had gone through in conducting herself as Queen, she still held many of the ideals of her youth. One of those was that bringing a new life into the world was not something she wanted to do strictly for the sake of duty.
A knock at the door interrupted her thoughts, the young woman calling for whoever it was to enter.The man told her there was someone who wanted to speak with her on a personal matter. From the sounds of it, most likely someone already well trusted in Seyruun if they were able to get inside the palace grounds without causing alarm.
"Please direct them to the lounge for me, I'll be there in a moment." she replied, watching the advisor nod and disappear, leaving Amelia some time to gather herself and head towards the meeting area, not wanting to keep her guest waiting too long. Mind you, her own curiosity was also part of the reason for her haste; who would be calling so late in the day?

As the gentle evening breeze quietly rippled through the newly revived Taforashia, it carried the music and laughter of those who had been asleep for so long with it. They had every reason to rejoice after all; after so many years in a deep slumber, they were awake and alive, cured of the ailment that so long ago would have wiped out their entire population. Yes, there had been hardships in order to achieve this goal, most of the burden on young prince who gave up his own body to allow the Red Priest to save his people, but all was well in the end.
And yet, something wasn't right, at least that was what Amelia believed her instincts were telling her. She continued to watch the scene below the balcony, people enjoying themselves before retreating into her room once more, uncertain of what to think. Everything was peaceful now, so why was she so anxious? If everyone was saved, then there was nothing to fear any longer surely...
Her thoughts wandering, the princess walked over to the bed, flopping down her back as she looked up at the ceiled, arms folded behind her head as she sighed heavily. She honestly wanted to dismiss the thought as paranoia, and revel in the good feeling of celebration. She had been inclined to some hours before, only to pick out a few facts that just didn't add up, leaving her rather unsettled.
It was the little things that didn't sit with her. Lina and Gourry suddenly disappearing when there was free food that could have been eaten? That was completely unheard of. Not to mention the fact that Xellos had conveniently vanished without giving any parting taunts. They hadn't really known what he was assigned to do, but then again he would only answer with his famous line, 'That's a secret' if they had enquired again. And then there was Rezo: he had served his purpose, now with a new body, so what now? Did he have plans now that he was alive again? And how would they affect everyone else?
Whatever the answers were, it was highly unlikely she'd figure them out on her own. All that was left to do was wait and see, that lingering concern ever present, almost surrounding her in a thick fog of uncertainty. Something was going to happen, and honestly, she was unsure of whether or not she was ready for it.
Any chance she had to mull over the thoughts further was cut off as she heard a gentle knocking on the door of her room. Moving off the bed, she strolled over, not hesitating in pulling it open to see who was there. "Yes?"
[ooc: I apologise for increased posting the last couple of weeks in the comm, but with the stress of a group project looming over my head, I need the distraction, and these lingering ideas wouldn't leave me alone. So, you get a two scenario's to choose from, just leave a note in the subject line which you want. Males and females are welcome for just CR or CR leading to smut, as are all kinks barring bathroom stuff, gore/violence and death, but ask if you're unsure. Castmates and previous CR would be loved since both of these are Slayerverse setups, but I would still enjoy threading with new people too. If you want a specific amount of aphro, just let me know, otherwise mine will vary depending on the situation.Anyway, have fun folks, below are basic descriptions of the options.
Scenario A: Aged Up/Breeding with a Purpose: Here's a setting some years post canon with Amelia in her mid twenties and now acting Queen of Seyruun. Pressure is being put on her to have an heir, but of course she's reluctant. Be someone who works in the palace, an old friend/something more visiting her for some reason, whatever you can come up with.
Scenario B: Dramatic Flashback/Pre-Climax Climax: Set before the final battle in Evolution-R against Shabranigdu in Taforashia, with Amelia apprehensive that things have yet to be settled entirely. Feel free to insert your character as one of her travel companions, whether or not they are more than friends or not being up to you.]
