One's past may undoubtedly be as valuable as their present. Only together will you be able to stride forward, and know no matter what the future may entail, everything will be alright. But now, I must sleep. Perhaps...we can meet another day? [RP of Tiki from Fire Emblem Awakening]

Indeed that Tharja have not communicated much to the other members individually. Whenever she had spare time, she would spend her days practicing the dark arts or stalking her beloved Robin. Only when one would confront the dark mage would she speak with other members. As for this particular member, she might have traded a few words or less but never had a deep conversation before. 

“I may have seen you around before. I never really did reach out to many members so I must have not noticed you before. If there is something you’d like then make it quick. I’m quite busy.” Her ears suddenly heard the word Robin. This woman was curious about him and request information. The dark mage felt that this was a chance for her that just so happened to arrive in the right time. “Perhaps I can tell you things about him, if you did something for me in return…Hee..Hee….”

[voiceofthedivinedragon]

"Many thanks Lady Tharja, If there is anything I could do for you in exchange for you to teach me a few things, it would be my pleasure."

Perhaps it was her own innocent downfall that allowed Tiki to agree to the the Dark Mage's oddly placed request so quickly without fear of any kind, but her curiosities about how to "learn more about others" overlapped any and all reasons. Perhaps with these new found skills she would be able to learn more and more about the people of this world, as Tharja had so masterfully learned nearly all that there is to know about Robin, the mysterious tactician.

A better look upon the Plegian's household did unnerve her a bit though. The strange air about the place amongst the oddities that more than likely laid within  were unfortunately oddly reminiscent of Gharnef, a horrible and cruel dark mage of Tiki's past. If it were for her childlike curiosities feeding her desires along with her unwavering trust of everyone in Chrom's Sheppard alliance, she would not have been able to carry on as she did. 

"I am in you guidance~" she said with a smile. "Please direct me as you see fit.

[xkagayaku]

The day was a very stressful and tiring day for Marth, and he was glad nightfall had arrived. After speaking to Jeigan, who would always remind the prince to take better care, Marth dragged himself into his room. He knew he was pushing himself at times, and yet still gave the credit to his allies and friends. He even had his sister come to him on occasion, reminding him of his limits, hoping it would help him. Marth remembered her words well, but tried not to think of them as he unfolded his covers, ready to fall into slumber. And soon enough, he did, falling fast asleep.

He soon woke up, his eyes widening slightly at what supposed to be a ceiling, but in fact it wasn’t. He blinked twice, and realized he was looking up at the star-filled sky. This caused him to sit up abruptly, fingers fondling the soft and ruffly grass. This was definitely not his bed.

❝This…isn’t my room,❞ he murmured as he stood up. He would be more surprise, but this odd situation was not a first for him. None-the-less, it would bring even more questions, with no answers to fill him with satisfaction. The prince sighed, dusting himself off and realizing he was still tired, but not as before. He figured he had enough sleep for one night.

This place seemed quiet and peaceful. Nature seem to bloom gracefully here, and there was no signs of evil or trouble about. It gave him a blissful feeling, despite his condition, and it convinced him to search further, just to satisfy his curious. What in the world was he transported to now? Marth continued to walk on this grassy plain.

On his way he noticed a large tree with a shadow even larger. He took a moment to stare at it, admiring it’s strong life and it’s green leaves. Whatever he had stumbled upon now was a beautiful place, and perhaps lingering here for a bit wouldn’t affect his time back home. He was starting to think this place a dream, seeing how mystical it appeared. Perhaps it really was — something he should have thought of in the first place.

His footsteps halted as he noticed a girl, murmuring to herself and obviously not noticing Marth’s entrance. He didn’t quite catch what she said, and so he stepped a bit closer. He found her hair and her ears quite recognizable— she was a manakete, wasn’t she? But he was sure he had not seen the girl before, at least not from this angle. And so he tried to call out to her, hoping not to startle her.

❝Excuse me, milady?❞

[voiceofthedivinedragon]

That voice...was it...? No, it was impossible. Her mind was playing tricks with her again, a result of her personal longings to see him. Mar-Mar was long gone. She told herself that over and over again as she sat up giving a quick look around to see if there was anyone truly there.

But when her eyes met the one who indeed called out to her she became lost for all thoughts. Her mind shut down completely and all logical comprehension escaped her. Standing before Tiki was a regal looking man who wore the crest of Altea, the land of the past. A long blue cape that most likely accompanied his travels, and similarly colored hair decorated by that unmistakable crown. 

After years of separation, the poor manakete just wanted to run up to him and give him a hug. She would probably never let go, and beg him to take her to where he may reside now. Her mind started to return, but instead of functioning normally began to flood with emotions...ones that the man before her had taught her himself. The word "Mar-Mar" sat on the tip of her lips, longing to escape and cry out to him... but after much inner conflict she managed to hold back her desires..and her tears.

Other had impersonated Marth before. Her close connection to the Hero King was also well known throughout time. Could this be a ruse to put her off guard? The threat of Grima was far behind them, but that didn't negate the possibility of a trap.

It pained her to be distant, but for now it was the wiser option.

  "It is quite unusual to have a visitor at this hour..." she sighed giving the look alike a kind smile before returning to a more thoughtful expression. "...though I will admit company tonight will ease my mind on a number of things. I am Tiki, known by a few in this country as the "Voice of the Divine Dragon" . May I ask..of your name..milord? You look as if you hail from a kingdom I knew of some time ago.

"I Wanna Be Like You" || @plegianstalker

[plegianstalker]

All alone in a tiny house in the kingdom of Plegia. The dark mage was up to her usual antics of practicing rituals of the dark arts. When born and raised in a family that has never seen anything but dark magic, it becomes a part of your life. Many books piled up all over the ground and crumpled pieces of papers thrown in a corner. Tharja walked around examining many strange “ingredients” for the dangerous magic that is to emerge from the room.

Bat wings, lizard tails, frog eyes, locks from a horse’s mane, mixing them all together in a pot filled with things that normal humans should never tamper with, the dark mage muttered incantations as she stirred everything all together. She had attempted to cast a hex that would allow one to gaze through the eyes of another in hopes to learn more about the world, and of course just for pure amusement. Light shined around the magic circle as the pot began to shake. Something was about to happen. Was the ritual a success?

A huge puff of smoke erupted, blanketed the entire room. Tharja huffed and puffed as she waved away the smoke around her. “Dammit. Something’s amiss. How could I have made such a mistake? Everything was correct wasn’t? The materials, the circle, the incantation. All of it should have been correct according to this book? Well guess it’s of no use after all coming from one of fathers old archives.”

Knock knock knock.

Someone was at the door. Could it have been the army again? Are they asking for her to assist in another campaign? Feeling irritated, the dark mage walked over to her front door and slowly opened letting very little sunlight in. She peeked her face out ever so slightly. “What do you want?” To her shock, it wasn’t the army. It was a young girl, one whom she has never seen around before. “Who are you?”

[voiceofthedivinedragon]

So she didn't recognize her? That was quite the possibility, given they didn't talk much during their time together as Shepherds. None the less, the manakete didn't falter from her goal. If luck was on her side, Tharja wouldn't close her out. She didn't know who else to turn to for something as particular as this.

"Forgive me for my intrusion. I hope I am not disturbing you... but I am Tiki, a former member of Sir Chrom's Shepherd alliance. I believe you were a part of of as well? Did perhaps any of that jog some memories?"

She paused for a second to contemplate how she would go about asking the next part of her discussion. She had heard this was a controversial topic, and for Tharja - of great importance. In the end she couldn't find a way to sugarcoat it. She had to be considerate...yet blunt. 

"..if so.. I came here to ask you a favor...if it's alright of course. *ahem* It's about Robin, the tactician. Do you think I could ask you some things regarding him?"

[chonsinxblossom-blog]

Say’ri’s eyes lowered and gazed to the side, her smile fading. Though while she found it beyond control it still felt unforgivable, throwing another into the chaos of war. Not only that, the princess became even more unsure after losing her brother. How much more loss would she have to bear? How much more could she withstand?

“T-Thank you.” she replied, turning red again. “It is truly an honor….no, I am thankful for meeting you, and our comrades as well.” Say’ri started hesitantly as she faced Tiki. She decided to keep her troubles to herself, not wanting to burden the divine dragon. “Perhaps I put too much thought.” With that she let out a small sigh.

[voiceofthedivinedragon]

"You speak words of great care Say'ri, yet I see you still struggle with something..." she said prodding at the warrior princess with her words. There was a warm and comforting mood set forth by the message being shared, but from the hesitation in the others voice, Tiki could only sense moods that were unsettling at best.  "I agree that sometimes you indeed put too much thought into things, but what are those things I wonder."

"Is there something troubling you? I will not pry into your personal matters, but if you ever need anything, do not forget about me. As your friend, I will do whatever it is in my power to help you."

[txguel-deactivated20141230]

“I’m free! I’m free!! Take me there!! I hope they’re really good! You and Say’ri are the BEST! I question why I didn’t ask you before!”

[voiceofthedivinedragon]

"I do not know if growing carrots qualify us to being "the best", but I for one am glad there are people who are already appreciating what we have to give!" she smiled, seeing the ecstatic look on the young taguel's face.

"We should depart immediately. I've sent word to Say'ri and the others for a transportation to be organized some time ago anyhow, so they'll be here soon. In the mean time, I must ask how you are you doing Yarne? Many tell me of you and Noire have spent much time together as well. How does she fare?"

[enterthevaike]

“Hah, Teach is never hurtin’ for more pupils! Got more than I can count!”

 After Grima had fallen, he’d returned to his home town and been welcomed back as a hero and “Teach” had finally earned some students.

“So how’ve ya been? Been up in that tree too long, ya oughta visit me an’ the Shepherds more often. Or maybe we could all visit ya instead, huh?”

[voiceofthedivinedragon]

"I'm glad to hear that. They couldn't be learning from a better man." Talking with Vaike brought home waves of nostalgia. The war's end might have only been recently, but the memories were so pleasant, that one could do nothing but think back fondly.

"and yes, I agree- that tree could never replace the warmth the Shepherds has offered me, or anyone else in their company. It must be similar to how your students treat you yes? I admire your efforts to give back to them after an age of battle and tears."

[homukami]

The goddess bowed in the direction of Tiki- it was only the right thing to do to an ally of divine heritage, such as her.

“It is a pleasure to finally meet you, Lady Tiki. I have heard much of you.”

[voiceofthedivinedragon]

When the white clad presence bowed to her and spoke in such a soothing and all knowing tone, Tiki at first was a little speechless, numbed my feelings of awe. Never before has she met someone with features so similar to one of a goddess. Tiki for one was even a descendent of one, but she carried a match in comparison to the elegant torch that the other seemed to represent. 

"I see." she replied respectfully as the bow was returned. "though...I apologize as I can not say the same for one as yourself. If I may have the honor, could you tell me your name? I wish to greet you properly as well."

[greatknightkjelle-deactivated20]

“I’ve been pretty damn good, not gonna lie!” Sully replied cheerily. “But I’ve been bored like you, too. Since we saved the world an’ all, kickin’ bandits asses just doesn’t bring the thrill it used to,” she joked.

“And hey, I missed you too. You should come down to visit more often. Everyone else wants to see you too, you know. You could even bring Say’ri!”

[voiceofthedivinedragon]

If Tiki was with another person, she might have taken offense to the mention of war as a pleasurable pastime, but since she knew she was talking with Sully, she somewhere along the line reconciled with the joke.

"I most certainly agree." she replied back jokingly. "Battle, as distasteful it can be sometimes, will be more over, enjoyable when you have all your friends as companions. A concept older than me, which stands even to this day~"

"But yes, I do believe more visitations should be in order. I would visit much more if the council of Chon’sin and Say'ri did not restrict me from time to time. I know they only care for my safety, but I much rather visit the towns to have a good time then sit still for hours on end. Perhaps I should bring her! Say'ri still does not understand the concept of a "rest". 

[headkhanflavia]

“Hearing that is wonderful news, and your praise is welcome,” Flavia said, returning Tiki’s bow. “Regna Ferox is indeed in capable hands, in both mine and Basilio’s. Loathe though I am to admit it,” she said with a grin, “but he’s been quite helpful in the rebuilding efforts.”

“I myself am fine, milady. Since Grima was felled I’ve had my hands full, but I’m not one to complain about more work. And what of Chon’sin and Valm? I trust you and lady Say’ri have been working tirelessly to rebuild as well. I would love to come visit some day.”

[voiceofthedivinedragon]

"Indeed we have, though Say'ri.....does most of it." Tiki replied with a touch of her own self loathing. "There have even been days where she will forbid me from lifting a finger, and it upsets me so. I may have age, but that does not mean I am unfit to help the people of these countries."

She didn't dwell on the negative for long as she quickly shook it off with a petite but heartfelt laugh. She didn't come all this way to vent her troubles. A Khan had more important tings to do than hear out foreigner complaints. "Truth has it, I have no reason to complain if I they still let me travel on my own. Being stuck at that tree can be quite stuffy at times~"

"But yes, let it be known that the company of anyone of Regna Ferox be welcomed in in my quarters or the entirety of Chon’sin and Valm at any time! I would personally see to that you are treated to the best we can offer!"

[cormagofgrado-deactivated201401]

The request caused Cormag to grin to himself, glancing briefly at the ground as he realized he had mentioned that he was a soldier of Grado, but not his exact  occupation. Looking back up, skyward this time, he removed his glove, raising his hand to his lips, pressing thumb to index finger and blowing sharply. A piercing whistle rang out, one short blast, before he lowered his hand slowly, replacing the glove on his hand and continued to watch the sky expectantly, shielding his eyes from the sun.

“I would be delighted to give you a tour of the battlegrounds and of the newer riders in training, but you may have to wait a moment for my transportation to arrive. We’re a bit too far out to walk comfortably down to the Keep.”

Glancing back down, he lowered his hand to his hip, acknowledging the green-haired woman with a polite smile. “With any luck, he hasn’t gone too far off.”

[voiceofthedivinedragon]

[ ~ ! ~ ]

As Cormag whistled to the skies, Tiki's eyes lit up like a child hearing they'd be fed their favorite meal. Pure, 100%  excitement. That gesture might have been generally described as just a plain whistle, but by the change of attitude on the male's part, and the comments he made afterward she could come to only once conclusion. 

He was one of those Wyvern Riders she had read about.

Before she could even let the thought settle in her mind, words had already escaped her lips. To see Grado's finest first hand, it was an experience even manaketes could say it occurs "once in a life time."

"You're a one of them!? A Wyvern Rider!? If this is all to be true, Sir Cormag, you have my greatest gratitude!"

[the-tactical-mystery-blog]

“Oh, Tiki! It’s good to see you again!” Robin grinned, her expression quite more enthusiastic than usual. She admired Tiki, and the tactician was too curious for her own good. This voice of the divine dragon had been standing on the continents for over three thousand years. There was so much she had seen, so much history had flashed before her eyes… Robin couldn’t help but feel so interested.

But she also saw the manakete as a good friend as well, one who was very kind. “How have you been doing? Getting plenty of sleep, I would hope?”

[voiceofthedivinedragon]

"Plenty of sleep I assure you" she smiled in humor of the last remark the tactician made. Robin was one of the few people who knew of Tiki's habits first hand. On top of being a close friend and a familiar face the divine dragon's incarnate couldn't help but feel lax and happy in her presence. "If I slept anymore I would miss you and everyone else far too much! "

"But yes, I have never been better. I hope the same has been for you as well?" she paused for a brief moment before continuing.  "..and if so, I was wondering if I could ask a favor of you. It's not urgent...so I understand if you are.. well..busy."

[greatknightkjelle-deactivated20]

“Hey Tiki, how have ya been?” Sully greeted with a smile. “Haven’t seen ya lately. Been up in that tree all this time?”

[voiceofthedivinedragon]

Tiki could sleep for a million years and never forget the bold character that spoke before her. In many ways she admired her, though if she ever decided to take up any sort of familiarity, Say'ri would never let her near the feisty red head again. Until a time for that was safe, she would have to observe such tones from this interesting person from afar~

"Sully! she exclaimed in an excited burst of joy. "Indeed I have,but staying in the company of those guardians is a bore worth taking naps till the end of time. Being along side people like yourself is something I much prefer."

"I have been well though, so I suppose I do not have the right to complain. That still does not deter me from missing your company. I must ask too, how have you been?"

[headkhanflavia]

“Greetings, milady Tiki. How fare you? It has been a while since we last spoke.”

[voiceofthedivinedragon]

"Head Khan Flavia of Regna Ferox, it is indeed an honor and pleasure to be in your presence again." Tiki did a bow in polite gesture as she spoke. She knew the strength of any Khan was nothing to be overlooked, and like any royalty or exalt, deserved respect in the highest regard. 

"The Mila Tree and myself know nothing but peace. It would not have been achieved without your efforts and for that I thank you. It also had indeed been quite some time since we last spoke, though I trust the land of Regna Ferox is in quite good hands. If I may pry further, may I ask how you have been?"
