Petra Fortis

Don't know if anyone's told you - but we don't take kindly to insubordination 'round here. Do yourself a favour — take a around. This is what a hundred years of peace looks like. It's a lasting peace - made by the wall and the wall alone. ... see, we don't need any of you immigrants jumpin' around, playing war hero.

Leaning into his side when he pressed kiss to the top of her head, Selena nodded her head, Selena grabbed her battered suitcase and headed towards the door, "Yeah, though I'd be lying if I said I ever remember him living there. But I think he must have left when I was little."

Her mother had told her that he'd lived on the main island when the King's Wall had stretched over the islands, he'd been a cook or a chef or something, he might have even worked in the same diner her Mother had?

Holding the door open so that Petra could exit the dingy apartment, Selena pulled the door shut behind them - the lock giving a final click as she bid her first home-away-from-home goodbye. Sucking in a deep breath, she looked over the railing of the stairway and down to the stalls, bars and shanty shops below.

"Mom said that he moved to the mainland when the Wall left. Once he got settled here, he kept in contact with some folks back home, always told people back home to give his name and number to any folks who decided to head for the city."

[luciancityguard]

He waited on the steps leading up to the apartment, attentions pretending to flicker around their surroundings at the busy road above, the people milling to and fro in the market below, but Petra saw how Selena's hand lingered on the door handle and brushed across the faded metal.

He didn't say anything; he had no right to. He lived in the same city he had been born in, went to school in, went to training academy in and now worked in.

Only when she led the way down the steps and began speaking again, did he dare to break the silence. "The mainland means he's not from Galahd then, right?"

He was still trying to learn the maps beyond the walls of Insomnia, but it wasn't exactly easy. His mother worked in the Citadel archives, and even with unlimited access to those records, Petra was finding it difficult to educate himself; most city-made maps let the lands beyond Ostium Gorge unlabelled and blank. "- I'm trying to source a better ap of Leide for our barracks. If the guards are doing duty in the gorge, it makes sense they should know more about the are, I figure."

[galahdanblade]

in the city, kaleb had been the third-class citizen, following the signs and trying to keep himself on the outskirts of any conflict; it had been unlevel footing and world where he had no control over what happened. he had been a refugee, no other role to play within the city's walls - following the rules and direction of whoever had shouted them, so long as they'd worn a uniform.

and now their roles were reversed.

his worn boots, dirt-covered cargo pants, and zip up vest was now the uniform that carried authority among the locals. he held a rank among the hunters that few reached - an alleyway jack. couple that with his friendship with dave and kaleb had inadvertently found himself in the role of second-in-command of the hunters. meanwhile, petra was a refugee out here on the mainland, and a new recruit.

knocking back a generous mouthful of his beer, kaleb leaned back into his chair, taking comfort in the warm breeze that blew down the paved mall of lestallum, even at night the warmth was stifling.

' it doesn't sound odd to me - look, i only over see the recruit training and i'd much prefer to go back to being one of them. there's nothing wrong with enjoying the lack of weight on your shoulders ... especially when the recruits keep trying to pet cactuars. '

[luciancityguard]

Chewing on his bottom lip, Petra swallowed back the words he wanted to say. He had been commander of the guards; given orders and delegated duties. He had been responsible for his colleagues ... and so many of them had died the day of the treaty signing.

He should have sensed a trap. That entire day had felt off somehow, but he had pushed it to the back of his mind. If the King had agreed to the treaty signing, then it was the best choice. How utterly laughable now.

It was a relief not to be the one in charge and responsible for the lives of others. That was the guilt that clawed at him as Petra's thumb flicked back and forth over the lip of the bottle with a dull clink.

Kaleb's attempt at humour drew his thoughts out of the black hole they were tumbling towards and Petra mustered a smirk as he gestured at the rooftop. "Is that why the training dummy thing is a cactuar?"

That thing was annoying as hell; he'd landed on his ass ore times than he'd like to admit. Thumb still thrumming over the lip of the beer bottle, Petra looked Kaleb up and down before somehow finding the words he actually meant. "I am sorry. They way I treated you, people from the mainland back in the City. It was wrong and I have no excuse for it."

Compared to how the people of the mainland had welcomed the Insomnian refugees without question ... well it was shameful how things had been vice versa before the fall of the Crown City.

[galahdanblade]

he'd gotten a shit roll of the dice. everyone in insomnia had. but kaleb was biased because petra's misfortune directly impacted him vicariously through selena. they were in a bit of no-man's land at the moment, and kaleb wasn't fool enough to try and offer advice. he had fucked up his own marriage enough in the past to know that while he wanted to protect his baby girls' corner - it wasn't his place. they were adults. and if they couldn't figure out how to fix it themselves, then it'd stay broken.

hadn't they all cared far too much about another's thoughts of them somewhere along the lines? he certainly had. kaleb had landed his ass in the middle of the galahd river because he'd been so paranoid about what a certain girl had thought of him.

he'd bent over backwards to help a bladesmith because he'd wanted to make sure the guy had liked him. and he'd spent far too long worrying about how a certain matriarch of melacio saw him when he'd first arrived from galahd. and probably to his own detriment too, because kaleb was old enough and mature enough now to realise that his defence mechanism had been cockiness.

' we all did, once upon a time. ' kaleb offered with a knowing smile, ducking his head a bit when drem appeared over his shoulder, placing two fresh bottles on the table before them. shaking his head, kaleb's words skipped out over a chuckle as he used the edge of the table to pop the caps off the bottles.

' do you know how many of randolph's hunts i took to try and impress him? and how many of them it took for me to realise that sometimes you just can't change how someone sees you? '

[luciancityguard]

"I haven't met him yet, but Jeanne has warned me about Randolph a lot. And Christa too. And Holly."

And Cindy and Cid, the Leville manager had also offered a word of advice about the old metalsmith ... and so many other people. Petra felt he knew to avoid this man more than anything else at this point. And that kind of reputation said a lot.

Smiling his thanks as he took the other bottle from Kaleb, Petra looked around the open area of Lestallum for a long few minutes. It was a nice settlement. He had spent weeks here recuperating from his injuries in the city, and it had opened his eyes to how much the people here cared for each other; that wasn't something he had seen in the Crown City a lot. More so in the insular refugee areas.

"No, I know that now ... but it's hard to see it when you're trying so damn hard, huh?" The bottle of lager was a modicum colder now, like it had flirted with a refrigerator for a half-an-hour before being handed out. Then again, judging by the group of hunters chatting toe ach other, perhaps that was all the chilling time the diner had manager.

Looking back to Kaleb above a long swallow of beer, Petra nodded slowly. "I prefer this, as odd as it sounds."

"I spent so long studying and training to be a guard, then getting promoted to commander ... it's a relief to be the one taking orders now as odd as that sounds." There was a hint of guilt in his words and he timed it with looking away to watch a few kids run past, chasing a football and laughing. Maybe it was the lack of pressure? It was easier to be the one following orders than giving them. He had failed that in the Crown City. He had given the orders in front of the Citadel for his guards to stand their ground and they had died.

[luciancityguard]

@galahdanblade from here.

"Certain people." The tone said enough and he hiked his shoulders into a confessing shrug. Back in Insomnia, he had cared too much about what his colleagues thought of him; both superiors and those under his supervision.

A lot had happened over the past weeks that bled into a few strange months.

He didn't have a home anymore.Some of the city guards and former crown city police officers had survived the fall of Insomnia, and they had settled in Lestallum, naturally enough. It was the next largest settlement and more than likely felt more like home. To them. He didn't feel it though. He had been a commander; he should have seen the signs of an ambush, but he hadn't and that guilt made him feel like an outsider with what few guards had survived from his sector.

Swigging a mouthful of the awfully warm and terrible lager, Petra tried his best to hide a grimace at the taste, but saw Kaleb smirking and knew he hadn't concealed the expression at all. Little had he known all that time ago at the gate this man would become part of his life.

The right-hand man of the head hunter in Meldacio. The father of the woman he was dating ... had been dating. The father of the woman he didn't know how to find common ground with since Selena decided he had walked away from her by becoming a hunter. But that wasn't what this post-hunt R&R was about.

"- if I'd known I'd become a hunter, I definitely would have stamped those papers a lot faster." He chuckled over the words, and shrugged again; fair point from Kaleb. "But yeah, I gave too much weight to how others saw me. Seems obvious now."

Ed Skrein after working towards his role in Maleficent

[littlexsisterxulric]

@luciancityguard continued from (X)

Her emotions were still in freefall when she slammed the front door shut behind her. Anger and sadness fighting for control, but even as she gave herself the task of preparing vegetables for dinner, Selena didn't want to acknowledge the fear she felt too.

Chopping a carrot with far more venom than what was needed, Selena had pointedly ignored the knock on the front door, and soft thud of boots entering the kitchen behind her. His world had been torn apart and changed beyond anything he could imagine - she knew that. She had lived that.

But he had chosen to find a new mission instead of working through his losses and it had Selena's heart sinking lower and lower because what they were now - this scene, playing out in a kitchen, with an excuse of needing to help others - this was a scene she had watched play out so many times back in Galahd.

I won't walk away unless you want me to.

"You already did, Petra." Setting the knife down on the chopping board, Selena finally turned around to face him, her arms wrapping around her middle and her shoulders lifting in a defeated shrug,

"I know you needed to be there for Christa and the girls, and I know you're trying to find a new role to fit into - but I can't do this. I can't sit here for weeks and wonder if the next truck that rolls in is going to have you on it."

[luciancityguard]

He had expected her to be pissed off at him, sure, but not this. Stepping into a house that wasn't his, already feeling like a trespasser and outsider, his neck prickled at the realisation that he was in an ultimatum he hadn't asked for.

"Hang on a second, I didn't walk away." Petra took a breath to steady the frustration he could feel trying to bubble up. This wasn't the place for old habits, but it wasn't fair to just see one side of this situation they were in. "- I was injured, Selena, I had to stay in Lestallum to heal up and make sure what's left of my family is safe. Same as you coming here."

Had he taken longer than planned, yes and that was the bare truth of it. "I was gone longer than I meant, and that's on me ... but I don't have a home. I don't have a place anymore; nothing besides a bed in a bunkroom." Or a community to retreat into, or friends from Insomnia. Nothing. Just a complete violent end of one way of life and no clue how to figure out this new one.

She had talked about her parents back in Insomnia, telling him the story of their relationship falling apart and all the years lost in between. It was natural to have a fear of that repeating itself in her own relationships, but this was sabotage before things even go that far. He didn't want to make her worry or go through anything like the years she had told him about, but joining the hunters was the only thing that made him feel grounded lately. Staying by the closed door of the small home, Petra bit his lower lip and offered a mirroring shrug to Selena. "I can't sit around and do nothing in a world that's falling apart,"

"I didn't do enough in the Crown City to protect people, with this I have a chance to make up for that."

[luciancityguard]

❝ have you ever heard the term “tempting fate?” ❞

God of War 2018:

Selena's quiet words had a tone to them that Petra picked up on and he took care to quietly close the door of their little girl's room. He deserved an earful, and she was being far more reserved about this latest plan than he had expected. He wasn't tempting fate, but he could understand her worry; Galdin had only been a fortnight ago and he was planning on splitting his time between here and Lestallum for a bit ... for good reasons.

"I'm not, I promise." But even as he said it, he was slightly limping and could feel the pull and pangs of pain from pulled muscles and bruises. Galdin was still a white-hot scar across his nightmares, but right now wasn't the time to give that trauma the space it demanded.

"Kim needs some help is all, she's trying to hold it all together, but it's gonna- going to be a long time before Dave is back on his feet." The almost slip into local slang was pulled back and corrected; something Petra pointlessly held onto since the fall of Insomnia.

Looking down into Selena's big dark eyes that could never hide how they felt, he pressed a kiss to her forehead. "- I'm not signing up for any hunts, I'm just helping her figure out how to call the shots, along with your dad." But he hadn't been the one in Meldacio with Julia, alone and waiting for any news to reach HQ about who was dead and who was alive those two weeks ago. And now he could be gone for days in a row. He would be an idiot not to realise where Selena's worry was coming from. "- I can change things around Selena, stay here instead and find a work-around?"

[luciancityguard]

❝ why do you even care? you could have just walked away. ❞

God of War 2018:

Things had been different, but so much had happened in such a short span of time. From the whirlwind of moving in together, learning more and more about each other, then the treat-signing had come and the fall of Insomnia.

So many people had died. His own parents. The King. His comrades. His friends. Soldiers. Civilians. Police. Glaives. All of it was too much to put into the mental box Petra had assigned them to, so he had thrown himself into the comfort of being given orders and following them.

Joining the hunters gave him that; a hierarchy and chain of command that taught him new skills and kept his mind from wandering to all the things he could have done better back in the Crown City.

But this mainland wasn't ready or equipped for the thousands of people who flooded into the small outposts in the hopes of safety and the hunters were pushed to their limits. Even new recruits were quickly turned around to aid in convoys ferrying refugees across the three regions. Petra found himself on one of the trucks heading for Meldacio HQ and he felt relief at that; a chance to rest and talk to Selena.

She had gone to Meldacio a few days after the fall of the Crown City and he had been limited to Lestallum as his leg healed. Then had come the few weeks of not knowing what to do with himself as he checked in on his sister and her daughters. It had been an Exineris worker named Jeanne who had suggested joining the hunters. Nice lady. But joining and being trained and then helping out had kept him away from HQ longer than Petra had foreseen.

And the first question to fall from his mouth on seeing her had surprised even him. "Has there been any word on Nyx?"

The shove to his chest had been another surprise, coupled with Selena's angry words as she turned and walked away from him. 'why do you even care? you could have just walked away.' Standing still for a moment, he weighed up the options on how to respond; did he even have the right to go after her when he had been absent for weeks bleeding into a month or two? But she had known he was joining the hunters; her father had been the one to train new recruits at Leide.

But she was upset and the second question was snagging him. Why would he walk away? So he followed after her towards the house near the far side of the settlement, feeling so many eyes watching him. Knocking on the door first, he entered the house when there was no reply. It was like so many abodes he had seen since fleeing to the mainland; an open area for the kitchen and living area and doors that led to bedrooms. Selena was standing at the far side of the small wooden kitchen table and Petra felt like he was back in the city, at a domestic call - were there any risks or dangers? Were the knives safely out of the way?

Selena gave a small sniff and he banished those work-thoughts. "Selena, I'm sorry I was gone for so long," this was new ground; in all the months they had lived together in Insomnia, there hadn't been a major argument between them. "- I didn't mean to be, but there were convoys and people needed help."

He cringed, more to himself than anyone else, and Petra paced back and forth; he wasn't accustomed to apologising, let along trying to come up with some valid excuse when he had none, and he didn't fully know why she was so upset with him. Maybe asking about Nyx hadn't been the best opening line. Without another idea on what to do, he sat down slowly at the opposite side of the table and looked up into her big brown eyes. "I won't walk away, unless you you want me to."

[littlexsisterxulric]

"Nu-uh, turns out that big ol' scary guard was a softie at heart."

A jibing poke to his chest and Selena stood back with a shake of her head. Glancing around the little apartment, she was truck by just how bare the place looked now. Its gray concrete walls were stark now without any pinboard or pictures tacked up. The small desk looked abandoned without its books and knick-knacks.

And it had taken a shockingly short amount of time to strip the place of her presence. Sure, she had moved some of her belongings beforehand, mostly the clothes she had bit-by-bit moved into Petra's over the last few weeks, but it was still kinda hilarious that he wordly belongings fit so nicely into a suitcase and a filing box.

Tossing the last few bits and bobs into her case, Selena shook her head, "Nope, I think that's about it - I can drop the keys into Yama's later, the landlord can collect them from there."

[luciancityguard]

Petra clicked his tongue and shook his head at the 'big softie', smirk in-place as he shuffled the box. "Scurrilous remark."

He couldn't have that kind of opinion getting out; it would do horrific things to his reputation.

Some books, a few trinkets, a few items of clothing and other bits and bobs that made up her worldly belongings. Photographs and memories. That was what most refugees brought with them to the Gate when they filed through the immigration checks. The journey was just too long to bring anything that wasn't essential.

He took that for granted. Being able to have an apartment full of items that intrinsically made up his home. Having his folks only a short car journey away. Light at night time and the King's Wall above to protect everyone and everything.

Pressing a kiss to the top of her head, he nodded again. "He seems decent that Yama guy, helps out a lot of folks who come through the Gate."

He was always a reference for immigrants, or offering some promise of accommodation or work. Usually that led to scams and taking advantage, but the bar-owner was one of the few who genuinely altruistic. "Is he from Galahd too?"
