#high queen

And to THINK Amarantha could have continued to basically be High Queen of Prythian with possible expansion, but her hots for Tamlin was too strong that he eventually became her demise with the help of a human.

This bitch had everyone on lock and stood on business for 50 years. A notorious no-nonsense, spiteful, vengeful general turned conqueror, and she fumbled for a music loving, limerick speaking, powerful and kind-hearted male with beautiful green eyes and luscious blond hair.

Damn. Ladies, never let a man distract you from greatness 😂

I just had a realization. So in acotar, we learn from Alis that Amarantha had declared herself high queen of Prythian. Later in acosf, Rhys is advised by some of his inner circle to take over Pythian and become the high king. I just realized that they were asking him to take on the same position as the woman who tormented him for 50 years. This just further shows how disconnected the inner circle was from Rhys’s trauma from those 50 years he spent as Amarantha’s sex slave.

The Morrigan

In this post I'm gonna talk about how Mor is going to be the High Queen.

So let's start.

The Morrígan or Mórrígan, also known as Morrígu, is a figure from Irish mythology. The name is Mór-Ríoghain in Modern Irish, and it has been translated as "great queen" or "phantom queen".

her name already goes as phantom queen or great queen.

In myths it is talked about Morrigan is described as a trio of individuals, all sisters.

The Morrígan is often described as a trio of individuals, all sisters, called "the three Morrígna". In mythology membership of the triad is given as Badb, Macha, and the Morrigan, who may be named Anand It is believed that these were all names for the same goddess. In modern sources Nemain may also be named as one of the three Morrigan along with Badb, Macha, although her inclusion is unclear The three Morrígna are also named as sisters of the three land goddesses Ériu, Banba, and Fódla. The Morrígan is described as the envious wife of The Dagda and a shape-shifting goddess, while Badb and Nemain are said to be the wives of Neit. She is associated with the banshee of later folklore.

So I went to look at those names. Macha is what we are going to focus on.

Macha was a sovereignty goddess of ancient Ireland associated with the province of Ulster, particularly the sites of Navan Fort (Eamhain Mhacha) and Armagh (Ard Mhacha), which are named after her. Several figures called Macha appear in Irish mythology and folklore, all believed to derive from the same goddess. She is said to be one of three sisters known as 'the three Morrígna'. Like other sovereignty goddesses, Macha is associated with the land, fertility, kingship, war and horses.

Macha is connected with horses. So is Mor. In acofas. The bridge book between the og trilogy and the new books.

And as Mor galloped over the snowy hills, her mare, Ellia, a solid, warm weight beneath her, she remembered why. Early-morning mist hung between the bumps and hollows of the sprawling estate. Her estate. Athelwood. She’d bought it three hundred years ago for the quiet. Had kept it for the horses.

also side not Athel means : noble; nobleman, hero...her estate is called Athelwoold.

Another thing about Macha is that she is the only high queen of Ireland.

Macha Mong Ruad ("red hair"), daughter of Áed Rúad ("red fire" or "fire lord" – a name of the Dagda), was, according to medieval legend and historical tradition, the only queen in the List of High Kings of Ireland.

and lastly...King of Hybern's words.

She froze. Stopped a foot from the throne. Her knife clattered to the floor. The king rose. “What a mighty queen you are,” he breathed. And Mor backed away. Step by step. “What a prize,” the king said, that black gaze devouring her.

Vix approached the Ubuyashiki estate, intent to meet the one who is the master of the manor with the intent to offer assistance with the threat to their world as a first step to establish that she only wishes for peace. The High Queen would knock on the entrance of the manor awaiting for someone to answer.

"With all due respect your Highness, are you sure it is wise to meddle in the affairs of another world? We only just gained the ability to travel and this seems a tad hasty in my opinion." Friedrich was ordered by the High Queen to come which he was more than happy to do, though this seemed a big step.

"If we are to make peace with other worlds then we must waste little time in acting. Besides, dealing with these creatures known as Demons here would be ideal as to prevent them from becoming a problem in our world." Vix had heard many stories about them, yet hadn't come across one as of yet.

🎀 ― a childhood memory

for Vix

Vix stood in the training hall, watching another 'mentor' being dragged out of the room. "Father, I mean no disrespect, but it seems the mentors are rather... lacking these days. I was promised when I turned fourteen, I'd have some true mentors."

"Yes, well, it seems your magical and physical abilities are far above what that quack expected. Ha, I told him he underestimate's a true mage! Certainly not one with my blood running through her." Renard knew his first born would be strong. Especially being born under the Lucky Star: Nature's Guidance. "I suppose training will fall to me," the fennec said before hearing the door open.

"Ah, finally found the right place. You guys seriously need a smaller castle or something," an averaged height fennec said as he closed the door. It has nearly impossible to see his face, his fur a dark red, and he certainly have a few scars on his arm. "Heard you need a mentor. Guess I'll throw my hat into the ring."

"I'm sorry, who are you?" Renard asked, walking over to the fennec, towering over them. "My daughter just finished beating the last mentor I requested for the day. Explain yourself."

Vix would peak around her father, looking at the stranger curiously. She sensed no magic from him, which was odd. Only opossums gave no magic off because they had anti-magic. "Father, I wish to see what he can do. I promise not to hurt him."

Renard turned around hear that. "Vix, he clearly has a condition that causes him to have no magic. You may hurt this poor fellow," he said before watching the fennec walk past him. "Excuse you, what do you think you're doing?"

The fennec would approach Vix before squatting down to be at eye level with Vix. "Oh, I don't think you can hurt me. You're strong, quick to learn, and certainly have the magic and Lucky Star to match. Though you won't hit me."

Vix squinted at him before throwing a fast jab, though was shocked how he dodged by a simple tilt of his head. The fennec swiftly releasing her power and throwing out punches fast enough that they could barely be seen, yet he continued to dodge so simply.

"You know the basics of fighting and magic, you have fairly good experience with for your age, and you can clearly keep a calm mind. Though all that's pointless if you don't understand why YOU fight. You can say it's for you father, you can say it's for your kingdom, and you can say it's for glory. However." The fennec would watch as Vix huddled over on the floor. "Didn't even see my gut check you. You've got a lot to learn."

Renard would tower over the fennec once more, though this time was far more menacing as his enveloped him. "You shall regret that you-" The King stopped seeing his daughter hold up a hand as she got up with a struggle.

"I want him to train me father. He's the first ever to land a solid hit on me other than you and mother. I also want someone who won't hold back," Vix said standing on her feet once more.

"Well now, you recover well too. That's good to have in battle. Never know when you may have the wind knocked out of you," the fennec said standing up. "What do you say Renard? Unless you want things to be East again."

Renard was about to attack him, though then heard his last comment. The fennec would calm down, letting his body relax. "Well, if it's what my little Vix want's. I'd better see results."

I started drawing the Ever After High girls in random historical fashion eras… why? I have no idea

Raven Queen in 1890s, Apple White in Italian Renaissance.

Briar Beauty in 1920s, Madeline Hatter in 1880s

No particularly reason for the eras, just the vibe I get from the characters and their designs!

"Bah, as if any machine could match my powers. That quack scientist as attempted to make many bots in an effort to surpass the natural talent high level wizards possess. Though I crush them every time with my Hollow Gravity." Renard was never the biggest fan of technology, even more so with that scientist obsessed with making a machine able to match real wizards.

"Yes, well, maybe it might be best not to let them summon any extra help. After all, if could lead to civilians of Mobius to get caught up in the crossfire should the battle become too large to contain in a limited area." Kit had zero combat experience or knowledge, though didn't wish normal people trying to live their lives to get hurt.

"Right, of course my little princess. I shall destroy their communication while landing right in the middle of their base. Maximum damage while getting right into the core of the battle! Come young one, hop upon my shoulder so I may not crush you by mistake with my Hollow Gravity!" Renard seems more than ready to go.

"You'll need this to return father," Vix said, tossing a small bracelet to Renard. "A simple push of the button shall open a return portal. It also functions as a tracker should we lose our ability to visual see you." The High Queen could always count on Kit to think of everything.

She rubbed the back of her neck and smiled sheepishly at the King. She wasn't sure what to say to that, it was just who she was. She never really had much of a filter growing up and now? It wasn't much better if it had improved at all. She tended to give all her friends some kind of nick name out of habit. Sometimes crazy shit just came out her mouth! She never really thought much of it but now she was starting to think maybe she should learn to keep her trap shut more often!

" Ah... Thanks! Mr. King Sir! hehe guess i just say what pops in my head! never really have time to discuss it between my brain and mouth! "

It kind of felt like a compliment by the sound of the woman! though it also sounded like maybe she wasn't around anymore? she didn't want to touch on a sore topic so she didn't inquire about it. Maybe she'd ask Vix about it later.

She refocused on those little windows scratching her head and not fully getting how that worked. But she was sure Tails would go ga ga over the whole thing. She knew that eggy's little outposts were all over the place. But she also knew alot of them were used for his crazy little experiments.

" That one right there... Looks like a monitoring station... long as we take out the communication array, they shouldn't be able to call for reinforcements. Probably a contingent of badniks with a single super badnik in command... that's small and manageable... though still lethal... and if the call is sent out... we shout disengage... "

" Best case more super badniks show up... worst case Metal Sonic shows up... and trust me we dun wanna deal with him. Fast, Strong, super durable... and a critical thinking robot... fought him once... on my own ended up in a body cast for 6 months..."

Continued from X @freaxshow

Vix had to admit the reaction was unexpected to say the least, yet didn't show any sign's that it surprised her. Were teenager's always this aggressive or was she simply out of touch with today's youth? Regardless, her priority will be to see what the teen was doing here. Normally the fennec wouldn't bother, though as of late some trouble makers had been making a mess out of the castle court yard. The Darling Family has always kept it open to their people and didn't wish to restrict it over a few hooligans.

"Well, to answer your question you happen to be wandering around the castle court yard of the Darling Family, not that I mind of course. We allow everyone the right to do so as long as they are civil with each other and don't attempt to break into the castle. My reason for approaching you with such a question is you appear to be a bit young to be here without some form of adult supervision." Vix wasn't going to accuse them of anything without proof so would simply state what she saw for now.
