BEATING HEART OF STONE // takeover & meeting

[Jiyu Simul Stamus]

Revenge was something that long had been a factor in her behavior, she was spiteful without her emotions, an eye for an eye because she lacked the sympathy that stopped others from behaving that way. Whatever she found done to her group? Eventually she was going to do the same or worse to whomever had done it, but most of the time she simply instantly lashed out. The calico had never particularly had reasons to hold back, even without protection by circumstance for her behavior, she would simply lash out, nothing stopped her she knew what sort of beast she was and nothing had ever been able to change that monster. Until someone decided to force her from what she had always been, change things against her will in a way she could not refuse. Becoming a Monarch was different from the normal evolution of time that caused those around her to vanish, it was progress, a kind she never asked for and was far from comfortable with. The change even small as it was, changed something essential to the stoic. Her claws stayed sheathed against who she was before because she truly had no idea who she was without the duties of a guard.


Everyone was missing the part where this chick admitted to letting a dragon eat Prestige, such cowards, they should be attacking this imposter. Yet, her loyalty lie with the guard, the raptor, everyone else here, the place she spent her entire life since liberation protecting even at the cost of her own life several times. Jiyu had no hesitation as she climbed the stairs to stand right in front of the other female sitting upon a throne that truly belonged to neither of them. Nona had not earned anything of loyalty or obedience from the group and the calico herself was unsuited to even the altered type of power she currently had. Mismatched optics looked at the dragon, than back at Nona, nothing of fear, not a trace of anger, absolute emptiness in her gaze. This false proclaimer was nothing, and she would continue to be nothing unless she could prove herself. Yet, she had openly stated an alliance to the Rosebloods, so the stoic presumed that she should at least treat this false queen as a fellow rose.


"Jiyu Simul Stamus, Monarch of Warfare. Since you publicly stated your alliance to our group by taking on the role of Pharaoh, discussion as you suggest it won't be necessary with me unless you attempt to harm our fellow roses, or lead them to ruin." at which point it would take an army of dragons to stop her from ending the life of that miserable fake who had taken the throne so suddenly. Jiyu had no fear in stating she only was not ripping Nona's throat out because of her new alliance to the group, nor that such could change any moment she believed the other's were in danger. Thanks to prestige she was not just some dog on a leash, and now it was Nona who would have to deal with that change.

"You couldn't stop me from coming with even if you had Miso eat me." at the very least it was still partially her job to keep the leader safe, no matter how fake they were, a leader was necessary in some form. Until somehow someone more true would rise to take that position the pretender. Until that point, Jiyu would do what kept everyone safe and struggle to figure out what she was supposed to do with her life without the role of guard.
