"Come here, my little darling!" Arianne cried as she hurried after Princess Gabrielle, the two year old toddling as fast as she could toward her father and brother, squealing happily.
The red-haired young queen swept her daughter up in her arms, much to the girl's delight, then moved to join her husband in overlooking Sakand. It was a sight to behold, glittering with magic. The seabreeze was warm, and did nothing to decrease the heat.
So far, neither of her children were complaining about it, but it was truly only a matter of time.
"How exotic," Arianne said as she looked over the view. Gabrielle coo'd and clapped her hands, and Arianne turned her blue eyes onto Renaux. "Are you worried at all?" she asked him.

A large structure, made in the beautiful scalloped edges and intricate carvings of plants and life and water had been erected near the harbor. There were liveried servants waiting upon it, as well as two of the brightly colored hummingbird guard nearby. An officiant waited for them.
Down below, people looked up and stared, pointing and speaking among themselves. The ship came within the city bounds where the floating lights surrounded them like they were flying through stars. If they came close to a light, they'd be able to see that it was actually a tiny hummingbird -- similar to a fairy -- that glowed instead. No doubt, it would delight the children (and maybe even the adults).
Sakand was sultry and warm, and the distant sounds of music could be heard. Between the ornate buildings and arabesques, they'd be able to see the cerulean-aquamarine waterways that made for the standard roads within the magical city, and beyond the city walls the growing verdant greenness of orchards, rice paddies, and wheat fields.
The Temple of Serenity could be seen rising high above, its peaked dome gleaming gold underneath the Sakandi sun. The Bejeweled Water Gardens also grew upwards, plant life bursting from each of its levels, a waterfall visible that went from landing to landing. The Emira's Palace could also be seen, all blue tile and decorated with more lush plantlife.
They would have never seen anything like Sakand before, and it was likely that they would never see such wonder again.

Physical Description: Standing at 6'4 Renaux is an imposing figure. He is well muscled from years of training and he has collected his fair share of scars. His auburn hair is kept short in a military style, and his face is clean shaven. He has a powerful jaw, mid set cheek bones, and a smooth brow. His blue eyes are fierce and determined, though there are smile lines in the corners.
Renaux was never supposed to be king he is actually the second son of the now deceased King Voltair. The former king and the crown prince Vyun both died in an a tragic airship crash three years ago much to Renauxs sorrow and anger. Renaux never held any aspirations for the crown and hated the thought of having things given to him. He entered the Académie Royale de le Pégase by winning the yearly tournament while posing as a peasant. He kept up this charade over his years serving with the Royal Air Force reaching the rank of Captain on his own merits.
He may have spent another few years in this guise but with his father and brother dead he was forced to ascend to the throne. Relatively unknown among the nobility Renaux has faced many challenges in the last two years. These turned the young military commander into a king whether or not he will prove to be a good one is still unknown.

When the sound of a squeal reaches his ears he looks over to see his daughter waddling towards him and a smile brightens the king's face. Voltaire takes this as an insult, after all, daddy shouldn't be distracted while holding him, and bites the king's ear. "Ouch! You little monster!" Renaux says as the boy giggles pleased he got his father's attention back where it belonged. The king glares at the prince and mock bites the boy's face getting a raucous peel of laughter from the child as lips tickle flesh.
By the time he is finished, Arianne has come to stand beside him and he lightly bumps her hip with his own, reaching out a hand to tickle his daughter's chubby cheek. The question gets a thoughtful look from Renaux and he chews his bottom lip carefully. "No more than usual." He finally declares a king had many worries and while this trip had created new ones it also supplanted others.
Any further discussion is lost as the brilliant lights of Sakand make themselves known and he sucks in a little breath as Voltaire looks around with child-like wonder, reaching out his little hands to try and capture the birds. The desert jewel reminded him of Travere, aesthetically it was vastly different but to see so much magic on such open display was one he didn't expect to see outside of Gauldin. The Royal heads down to the dock and soon the lines are cast and they are ready to disembark, Voltaire fidgeting in his arms with the desire to run around the new, wondrous, place.

Arianne frowned. "Voltaire!" She said with a scolding tone, even though Renaux played it off and laughed. The King's bright-haired wife shook a finger at Voltaire, who looked appropriately sheepish. "We do not bite. DO we, Papa?" Arianne asked, giving her husband a certain look that said that he'd better behave himself as well.
Questions asked, questions answered, she swept up in the wonder with her children, holding Gabrielle higher as she tried to reach for one of the glowing, flitting hummingbirds. As a family, they exited the Royal for the ramp, and she gave Voltaire another look to make him behave in his father's arms as they met with the officiant of Sakand.
It was all vaguely reminiscent of enjoying the Land Tiller's State those years ago to Arianne.

The Officiant that waited for them smiled to see the family. He was a man of middling years, neither old nor young, who had a friendly appearance. He bowed to the King and Queen of Gauldin. "Welcome to Sakand," he said, and gestured. White-clad priestesses of laughing eyes and smiling faces came forward and put lei's around each of their necks, kissing the cheeks of them all, including the children. The one serving Renaux bat her lashes at him a little, her smile a little warmer than the others. "I am Djohi Ahkmad," said the man, bowing his head again as he gestured to himself. "Steward of the Emirate of Sakand. The Emira, and Sakand, is honored to have your presence with us, and we hope that you will have a pleasant stay here."

"We don't bite." Renaux agrees but then he leans in close and whispers to his wife so the kids can't hear. "Except in the bedroom." He straightens up his eyes dancing with mirth as he hands the royal prince over to a nanny so he can greet the Officiant properly. He returns the man's bow with a slight incline of his head and then he blinks as a woman places a wreath of flowers around gives him a kiss. The woman's smile makes him feel vaguely uncomfortable but fortunately, the officiate starts speaking.
"Well met Djohi Ahmad." Renaux says giving the man a smile. "I am Renaux Travere, king of Gauldin. This is my wife, Queen Arianne and my children the crown prince Voltaire and princess Gabrielle." He gestures to each in turn. "We are honored that the Emira has agreed to host and look forward to exploring your beautiful city." He says ending with a diplomatic smile. "I assume that accommodations have been prepared for myself and my retinue?"

She blushed at Renaux's tease, and her own gaze warmed as she looked at him, promising a certain bite that she'd know he'd enjoy. The moment slippex away as other activities gained her attention.
She and Gabrielle were equally charmed by the lei, and they marveled at their gifts quietly before Arianne gave Gabrielle over to a nanny. She bowed her head when she was introduced, and finally couldn't wait any longer.
"Will we be able to visit the water gardens today?" She wanted to know, more so than she wanted to know about their rooms.

Before Djohi could answer the king's assumptions, the red-headed queen seemed eager to ask about Sakand. Djohi laughed, the sound warm and inviting.
"Yes, of course, of course. The Emira plans to unveil Sakand's magic and beauty to the entire Royal Family of Gauldin." He put a hand to his chest and bowed lightly. "Now, if we may all take a seat, and I will escort you to the Emira's Palace."
Djohi moved to sit exactly where he stood on the dais of the raised platform, gesturing for the king, his family, and his retinue to do the same.

Renaux chuckles as his wife interjects, it was very much her to be less concerned with immediate matters of where they would sleep and more with seeing the city.
At the Officiants words Renaux raises a curious eye but obeys coming to sit down next to him on the dias, the nannies, a few servants, and their body guards joining them. The king was curious as to how the platform was going to get them to the Emira's palace as Gabriella fidgets escapes her nannies lap and comes to sit in her father's instead. Renaux chuckles glad that his children were not like he and his brother had been, they hadn't gotten to spend nearly as much time with their parents, and had been made to treat them not just as mother and father but as the king and queen. Perhaps it was inappropriate that he didn't do so with Voltaire and Gabriella but he didn't care over much.

"Here? On the floor?" Arianne questioned. It wasn't that she was snobbish, it was more so that she was curious. She shared a glance with her husband, but did as the officiant bid, gracefully lowering herself to sit. It was hard to do so in the fashions of Gauldin, considering the corsets they wore, but she did so.
She was going to change into something far more comfortable and very soon. As she sat beside Renaux, Voltaire escaped his nanny to come over to them as well, wanting to romp into the laps of his parents. Arianne laughed and caught her son, holding onto him loosely about his stomach.
She looked expectantly at the Officiant, as all other servants sat down as well.

Djohi gestured for the queen to sit, chuckling lightly, smiling still. 'Please," he said again.
Once they had all sat down, Djohi laid out a palm and the magic came out, and it was revealed -- they were on a large carpet! It began to float, the other Sakandi servants chuckling as well at the no-doubt shocked noises and expressions that came from the Royal Gauldin family.
Then, the carpet began to sail easily through the warm air, the glowing lights surrounding them as they headed toward the cerulean palace in the distance.

Cairex disembarked from the vessel on shaky legs. He was in his human form, unsure of the reaction his wolf forms would receive in a new city. He had forsaken his official Alban knight's uniform for his previous adventuring clothes, which had been clean until he had taken a tumble into the sea two days out from the city.
The only hints of his unusual heritage were his eyes, unchanged between any of his forms, and the fact that he was fairly hairy. His massive sword was slung across his back, and a small knapsack was the only other thing he had.

As he stepped off his ship, he'd no doubt noticed the Gauldish Royal ship floating at its specially constructed dock. He might also notice the sweetly-shaped, white-clad priestess who came forward -- all warm smiles and even warmer skin -- and lifted her hands to put a lei around Cairex's neck and put a kiss at his cheek (if he'd allow it).
"Welcome to Sakand," the priestess would say, her common words accented deeply with the Sakandi language. It seemed that most people who were disembarking were going toward a colorful gate where the foot traffic seemed to bottle neck as papers and customs were checked.

Gustav leaned against the bow of the ship as he peered towards Sakand's harbor. It was a glorious sight to behold, and the other Brothers on the ship took a moment to take in the view. It was a bright, sunny day; the blistering hot sun was tolerable for now, but the Varan knew it would only get worse once he entered the desert.
"What do you think?" A man came behind Gustav; he was the captain of the ship. Supposedly a native of Sakand, this man was also a trader who offered boarding to Gustav and his small retinue of Knight-Krothers. It cost a bit extra to bring armaments and horses too.
"Beautiful," Gustav said enthusiastically. "I cannot wait to see more of your city, Sandborn. I shall attempt a meeting with your leaders before I leave. But my business lies in the desert, I suspect."
The trader laughed and patted the Varan on the back. "Why do you foreigners always try to find dangerous locales?" Gustav grinned and continued looking out towards Sakand. The merchant trip would make its way into the harbor soon.

The Brotherhood's ship came into the busy port, ushered and navigated to its dock. Little floating lights seemed to be all around, only adding to the magic and the majesty of the city. If one looked closely, they'd be able to see that the glow came from, in fact, a tiny hummingbird, as if they were fairies themselves.
Once off the dock, there'd be the sort of official business to attend to, but first --
Lovely maidens, clothed in sashes of white that contrasted quite pleasingly with the golden tan of their skin and the curves came forward, all dark hair and dark eyes and welcoming smiles as they greeted those who came off the ship. They put leis around their neck, made from flowers found only in Sakand, and they kissed cheeks and welcomed them to Sakand.
One of them even recognized their Sakandi guide and seemed happy to have him there, quickly slipping into a fast-paced Sakandi conversation where he was given an extra hug and an extra kiss. This priestess did not slip away with the others when they moved on to greet more men but instead looked at them with curious brown eyes.
"What brings you to Sakand?" she wondered, fine to walk with with them if they wanted to make their way to the single, wide, and ornately tiled gate that led into Sakand proper. The hummingbird guard was there, seeing to customs and paperwork, causing a bit of a bottleneck of traveleres as they waited in groups and lines to go forward.

"Thank you!" He said cheerfully, a wide grin on his face that exposed rather pronounced canines. His own accent reflected a rural upbringing, but only in the lightest of fashions. Cairex had no issues with personal contact of any type, the idea of personal space nonexistent to the man.
The lei smelled wonderful, and the cheerfulness of the people here was infectious to him. Too long had he been in that stuffy dour court, such happiness and warmth was wonderful to experience again.
"Where might I find some place to eat? I did my best to avoid it on the ship," the comment followed by an even wider grin.

Safi had also just stepped off her own ship, but she had waved away the priestess that came up to her. She wasn't interested nor did she believe the welcoming smiles or the leis that they brought to be anything real. She was returning to Sakand because of the flyer that had been posted up in the taverns.
Building and budding, they said. It had been a while since she'd been here, since she remembered the way it looked. She was walking on the dock when she paused and glimpsed Cairex. Why did she feel as if she recognized him some how? She felt an odd pull in his direction, so the Sakandi once-native made her way to him in order to hear his question.
"I know of a place, in the Market district," she spoke up, her pale eyes a stark contrast against her desert-golden skin and her wavy dark hair. "I can take you, as I need to eat myself." Her Sakandi accent was barely registered on her voice. She had been away for a long time, but it seemed that she still ascribed to some of the cultures of her heritage.

Gustav and his Brothers enjoyed the sight of the women who approached them. The endless chore of patrolling roads, sailing rivers, and across the open sea with nothing but men could put strain on them. But Gustav knew better. He was a Knight of the Black Cross, and they emphasized obedience, poverty, and chastity, specifically in that order. They nonetheless accepted and played into the customs of the Sakandi people, grateful for such a warm welcome.
"My Brothers and I have traveled far, Sandborn," he said to her with a thick nordic accent. "We have grown weary and sick of the sea, and require rest - but we must attend to our duties first. I would like to speak to the Emira on behalf of the Brotherhood." Gustav lifted his hands, "but I understand she must be very busy, in which case I can wait. I am in no rush and will be happy to meet her at her own convenience."

The priestess who knew his Sakandi guide so well turned her exotic and beautiful brown eyes onto Gustav, and she smiled warmly at him. "Yes, the Emira just announced that she is building up our defenses so I am sure she will make time for you. The Emira is ever gracious." She gestured for them to go to the gates where the flow of people was led into the city proper. "The Humming Bird guard there will tell you what to do and where to go. As for hospitality, the Jade Mist Hotel is our finest." She bowed her head, and then slipped away with the other priestesses to go about greeting the travelers to Sakand. ( Brother Gustav von Valland I edited out mention of the Emira's pregnancy and instead included information that the Emira is trying to build her forces)

Equipment - A good sized bastard sword and a small dagger are his only weapons, plus teeth and claws.

Safi had also just stepped off her own ship, but she had waved away the priestess that came up to her. She wasn't interested nor did she believe the welcoming smiles or the leis that they brought to be anything real. She was returning to Sakand because of the flyer that had been posted up in the taverns. Building and budding, they said. It had been a while since she'd been here, since she remembered the way it looked. She was walking on the dock when she paused and glimpsed Cairex. Why did she feel as if she recognized him some how? She felt an odd pull in his direction, so the Sakandi once-native made her way to him in order to hear his question. "I know of a place, in the Market district," she spoke up, her pale eyes a stark contrast against her desert-golden skin and her wavy dark hair. "I can take you, as I need to eat myself." Her Sakandi accent was barely registered on her voice. She had been away for a long time, but it seemed that she still ascribed to some of the cultures of her heritage. Her hint of an accent, picked up by sensitive ears even in his human form, matched that of the woman who had greeted him. A traveller then, who seemed to have been away from home for a while, or perhaps the daughter of immigrants only now returning to her ancestral home? Either way, she wasn't bad-looking and was clearly friendly, a pair of traits Cairex could always appreciate. He offered her a warm smile, gesturing down the docks with his hand. "That would be most appreciated ma'am, I am Cairex by the way, Cairex Forgepyre." He said without breaking the grin, extending his hand out for a handshake.
