BEATING HEART OF STONE // takeover & meeting

[hana.]

[align=center][div style="borderwidth=0px; width: 55%; text-align: justify;"]넌 불 보듯이 뻔해 ♡ - These deserts were not welcoming. But they were her home now. Her home, and her followers. Oh yes, this would be the spectacle. The unknown felidae would pad down the winding natural halls of sandstone, a massive trailing behind her obediently. This room was meant to be a throne room, natural light filtering in from a single hole above that filtered down to a simple chair up a short flight of stairs. Too simple for her tastes. That could be changed, of course, but for now she actually had to announce herself. The chocolate and white feline had caught a few eyes on her approach, but otherwise arrived uncontested. That wasn't surprising, unfortunately, given how small this group was. That was okay, however: all the more room to grow. To build an empire from dust. Quite literally, Nanohana noted with a soft cough as her dragon companion's large form disturbed resting sediment. Ivory paws ascended the short stairs and hopped onto the chair, turning to face the wide open chamber within the earth as her thick tail curled neatly around her. Miso took his place behind the chair, scaled body settled into a low crouch behind her as his head hovered at the right side of her chair.

"ROSEBLOODS!" Nanohana called, reveling in the way her voice echoed so powerfully from the walls. Miso answered her with his own bellow, rumbling the stone surrounding her as the massive dragon screamed.  Hana's lips curled into a half-smile, cocky and self-assured. Her voice alone would not be enough to make them gather, she knew - but the threatening shriek of the dragon might call them over. And if they didn't arrive, well, they could always be punished for it. "Gather." Her voice was no longer an attention-seeking call but a demand. A few faces gathered, but it was enough for Nanohana. They seemed clearly confused - distrusting, even. They had every right to not trust her, of course. But disobedience would not be excused so easily, and they would come to understand that. By force, if need be.

"Prestige is dead." She announced, lifting a paw to wave it lazily in front of her as if to lighten her words. "His amount of fur made him less than a pleasant snack." Not for her, of course, and it did not take the sharpest of minds to decipher that from her words as Nanohana's copper gaze slid over to her albino companion. Smoke rose from the dragon's nose, a growl curdling in this throat to echo through the room. "Nevertheless," her gaze returned to the crowd, small grin growing to a full smile. "My name is Nanohana, and this is Miso. 알다?" Ironic, that they would not understand Korean. If Hana's sense of humor wasn't so shallow she would have enjoyed it herself.

"I am your new Pharoah."

What a powerful title. She liked it.

"If you disagree with me taking over, that can be discussed," with her emphasis on 'discuss', she slid her gaze back toward Miso as the dragon's jaws parted on que, smoke pouring between sharp teeth to rise up through the one hole in the overhead stone. The Oriental mixbreed feline paused to lean over and pull a white shred of fur from between Miso's teeth, tossing it to the floor before her with a scoff. Too much fur indeed.

"With that out of the way, let's discuss some important shit now, yeah? Allies and high positions. Let's see here.... I don't know any of you. Introduce yourselves to me - I did the courtesy of introducing myself, so do the same." She wouldn't make them, of course - she had better things to do. But it would certainly make her new job easier. "The Typhoon and Tanglewood are our allies, huh? Guess we'll pay them a visit and see if they're actually worth it. Anyone want to go along, or would you rather stay home and take in all this new shit?"
