Dawn

nature's first green is gold, her hardest hue to hold. her early leaf's a flower; but only so an hour. then leaf subsides to leaf.

Seeing the last student of the day leave the infirmary, Micaiah sighed heavily, gazing towards their ever-dwindling store of bandages and antiseptic. These children clearly had no idea how to take care of themselves, even for the simplest of injuries. On the battlefield, that could be lethal. 

The next morning flyers were posted around campus:

midnight moon

The moon hangs high in the night sky, always kept company by the countless stars that shone down on them. The night was never lonely for her---the moon was always there to keep her company as she moved about the streets of Nevassa, slowly creeping past the windows of those who slept safe inside.

It was the daytime that Micaiah feared, when she had to put on a public face, pretend to be something she wasn’t. Hide everything she was born to be and everything she resented about herself. At least until she met Sothe.

Together, life became more bearable, until she took a knife a drove it straight through the still-beating heart they shared--until she fled without a word. Micaiah never thought she’d been lonely until she was truly alone.

And now, she prepares to ascend to heights she never even dreamed of reaching--and he sets off to leave her once again. The ever-present anxiety rises to a crescendo, she wants to beg him not to leave--what right does she have to demand such things?

“Sothe--” She cuts herself off, eyes downcast, focused on the elaborate weaving of the carpet. “I...I didn’t wish to bring up such a heavy topic right before your departure but I...” Micaiah hesitates, wavers; hand pressing over her heart as though she could slow the rapid beats. “Would you sit with me? I don’t know when I’ll see you next, can we talk one last time?” ( @thievingstalwart )

MALEFICENT - What is the cruelest thing your muse has ever done? What is the cruelest thing they’re capable of?

Micaiah oversaw the Daein army in what was essentially a genocidal war, with the goal of wiping out the Laguz. Despite it going against her morals and everything she stood for, Micaiah was directly responsible for countless deaths on both sides. It’s something she has a hard time reconciling with and it haunts her every day. 

People believed in her so wholly that they were willing to throw their lives away because she was the one asking. It terrifies her.

[kesaph]

JAFAR - How far has your muse gone for power?

Micaiah has never sought power. She’s wanted nothing more than to avoid the unwanted attention such positions bring her. Power has been forced upon her, first as a general in Pelleas’s rebel army, then the commander in chief of Daein’s forces, and finally as Queen of Daein. 

She never wanted any of these roles, especially given her past of trying to hide from what she is, believing that her heritage will place others in danger if she remains around them. She’s still particularly nervous about her branded heritage being found out, given how slowly she ages. It’s something that caused her extreme detachment and fear of being around others, that she was forced to abandon and forced herself to abandon when she saw how she could help the people of Daein.

[kesaph]

PRINCE HANS - How does the first impression your muse gives off differ from their true selves?

Aside from the obvious of appearing far younger than she actually is, Micaiah has shown sides of herself that counter the public’s view of her. She can be extremely sarcastic, particularly when annoyed, and is especially secretive about her branded heritage. She still worries about being found out, especially as she’s about to ascend to the throne. The people of Tellius made her larger than life, and Micaiah felt such an intense need to fulfill that role, that she’d go as far as hurting herself to help others.

Sacrifice is seen as something akin to a miracle to the people, but it takes a heavy toll on Micaiah, transferring the pain of the injury onto herself (shown as reducing hp in game), and she uses it fairly liberally, especially when others are in danger. The blind faith placed in her terrifies Micaiah and she’s worried herself sick more than once over revealing herself less than perfect as popular demand had her accept her role as the next Queen of Daein.

[kesaph]

THE STABBINGTON BROTHERS - What reasons would make your muse choose to follow someone?

Loyalty. It’s her loyalty to Pelleas that leads her to bring troops to Begnion’s aid in the Laguz war, despite it going against everything she believed in. She trusts in his judgement so completely, that she doesn’t question his motives. Despite the toll it takes on her mental and physical health, Micaiah holds on to the belief that Pelleas made the decision to go to war again with the best interests of Daein in mind.

by winter’s grace

serra-angel‌:

It was absolutely freezing out here on the ice! Why, for the grace of Saint Elimine, would anyone think this was a good idea? There had to have been far better ways to remove the ice than to have poor, delicate students dig them out by hand! Especially this one. A sweet, innocent cleric such as herself should not have to dig out ice blocks by hand.

Especially in this weather! Even these layers of gorgeous warm scarves and gloves did little to keep the cold out. Serra shivered in the cold, her teeth chattering. “Brrrr!”, she complained, for once making sense in her life. “It’s so cold! Why are we doing even this?” And why them?, she wanted to add. She was a cleric. She did not do this sort of thing. And besides, she only ever wanted to do the fun jobs and, by the grace of Saint Elimine, this was not a fun job.

The pink-haired cleric picked up the ice pick with shaky fingers and shivering arms. She raised it once and then lowered it once again to the ground. “Let’s not and say we did, pleeeaaseee…”, she pleaded, stretching her voice out into a whine. There HAD to be easier ways of doing this than manual labour.

The moment the girl opens her mouth, Micaiah knows she’s in for the ride of her life. It’s so cold! Why are we even doing this? She holds back an exasperated sigh, resisting the urge to rub her temples.

“The Church of Seiros has requested our services in removing ice blocks from the lake in order for the kitchen staff to acquire fish during the winter months.” She doubted this would be the last time this task was assigned either--just hopefully in a less complicated way.

“And I do believe they would notice the lake still covered in ice if we abandoned our task. Working will surely warm you up, so let’s get started.” She gestured for Serra to pick up the ice pick again, bringing her own tool down with enough force to create a sizable crack in the ice. Really, neither of them seemed built for such a task--if Micaiah had to guess she’d place the other girl as a mage as well.

“We’ll set goals and then take a short break when they’ve been accomplished, does that sound alright?”

[kesaph]

“ here you are, smiling in the face of the devil ”

“You think yourself the devil?” She doesn’t even bother to look up from her work, ignoring the shadow looming over her. “Trust me, your conception of yourself is nothing compared to what I have seen, what I have lived.” She finally places her quill down, amber eyes steady as she meets his gaze. 

A smile graces delicate features, hands clasped before her as the rested on the heavy wood of her desk. “Is there something I can help you with, Hubert? If you have any troubles, please know my door is always open.” ( @vonvestra )
