Natives pushed from their land to make room for their industrial future. Or people promised positive change, only to get the short end of the stick as they get subjected to false promises or lies under the guise of protection. It wasn't a thought that was completely impossible. It was more than likely to have already occurred. All of these native tribes reduced to the name of "savages" and made into targets by those who promised wealth and fortune, in the form of payment of some job or mission. Culture slowly turned into the target of accidental purging. It was a life she could never imaging living.

people who commanded these armies often rarely possessed the will, or the power to fight their own battles themselves. With an inheritance of the crown, it would be expected that few if any of them would have commanded power that would beckon the respect of an army beyond their inherited respect.

But was it wrong of them? did that make them into the villain for others to fight against? Or was everyone simply a villain to someone else's story? Simple fears of demons, vampires, and other creatures were often only skin deep. The fear of the unknown was enough to frighten most people from acting as they normally do. If an angel presented themselves before her, explaining how she exterminated the dark evils within people and wanted to rid the world of creatures like her, would she fight back or try to reason?

They could at most, have people stationed to make these people safe, or at least feel so. But whose to say they wouldn't be the ones who would oppress others, starting the cycle anew again? When would it stop? How could it stop, if ever? Was this entire world subject to a vicious cycle of violence upon each other? Was there any point to trying to stop it? was the best they could do just prevent it from happening to them? Was that the end of it?

She would look up, quickly realizing what she had done, only to give a shy and nervous smile. She dismissed it, only to pose the questions of what-ifs what what-could-bes. what if they had been in another country? Would they have ever crossed paths? What if Cassia wasn't the way she was, would they still support her, or someone that shared her ideas? It did not matter since she was gone. As expected, the heavy question was met with interesting looks from the others, and a few others having their own moments of thought. A silence fell over them as most of them begun to consider the options themselves. It wasnt any conversation anyone would expect to have.

With a smile and a half salute, she got to work, hammering nails into the little marked and inked holes. Taking up a smaller claw hammer she would swing and drive the nails deeper into the wood. With each motion, she couldn't help but think back to the recent events that transpired within the old home. The broken wood and splinters of what once was most likely assembled in the same way. she couldn't help but start to wonder if all homes everywhere were built the same way, with passion and care as a bunch of people within a community coming together to work to a common goal that benefited the collective. Life would be easier if what she imagined was true.

The satisfaction of a well-placed joke would be lost, but one she would never forget. Though, getting away with it on a half dozen homes on this side of the town would be one feat she might not be able to achieve with so many prying eyes. She looked around, seeing who would take note of her, as she took to working. A few others would begin to finish up and return to their tasks.

It would be no different than the masses of names that roll with credits and attributions after projects showcasing all of the positions and jobs involved. All of the stagehands that helped in the production of a play, from the actors to the costume designers to the person who painted the weird-looking tree the stood in the background of the play. One could only imagine all of the people involved and how often such names would ever arise to repeat themselves. And if they did repeat would anyone noticed their re-occurrence?

It would be an easier world if leaders fought their own battles one on one, rather than commanding an army from a safe location miles and miles away. Lives would be spared, and things would simply be done far sooner. These armies at most gave a chance to the weak. It allowed the weak to rule. And they would continue to do so.

It was nothing more than representatives. Every war, every battle, every death was just a representation of that person in charge. In the end, it would always be a numbers game of who had the largest army, who could convince the most people that their ideas were right and worth dying for. How many could she herself convince to follow her to their own death? How many would pick her side over the others? was it something even worth considering Or was this all just ideas that flowed through her head? Was it a passing thought? All of these farmers and storekeepers would be far too useless in an actual battle. But their numbers counted when it mattered. Voting gave power to those who wouldn't be able to fight for a title, it gave their people a chance. It gave those a chance to speak up, as they should be able to.

A warrior who was strong but held no value was someone who would become a liability on the field of battle. have their own attacks put others at risk, or themselves. You could argue that they were simply foddered, but what good was front-line fodder if they killed the same masses they were sent to die with? Their own purpose is removed as they squander their own value and purpose. There was other tasks for them to handle that put none at risk. But in this battle of wits and war, would they reign supreme? Would their leader take up the throne only to allow others to take upon it?

Could they not be persuaded with money to obey someone else mindlessly simply because of money that could make their lives easier? Would a leader that promises a great distribution of wealth cure this? Or would that corruption feed into such an absurd idea? There was a million questions to be asked, but in truth there wasn't really any way to know. But whatever the outcome after she took to the crown, it would certainly be better than it was before.

These people were hopeful for a life, and a world where even they had a chance to lead their people, to lead this country. They had a chance to make a difference. Cassia the Dauntless was their leader, 'was' as she was who would have offered that dream to them. It would be a dream that the masses would share together, and hopefully work with each other to achieve. Together they would run their own land with their own powers. It gave people like anyone really, a chance to rule, even without belonging to a specific noble bloodline to inherit a crown. The circumstances of one's birth no longer mattered. What mattered was ones will to lead.

How far would her people be allowed to progress their great nation, and how far will she keep her control after allowing others to start writing laws? Was it an act of her choosing to have work done for her, or was it her trying to act as a final voice of reason to stop the country from progressing in the opposite direction? All of it was in the air and thus hard to really say for sure. Anything could swing in any direction at this point. One could only assume what they had been told was the reality they would receive. And they would have to hope that it would be the world they would obtain.

As she continued to hammer nails and bond the wooden beams to each other, she wondered how well mages and the common folk could work together as a country, as a single community. Like these homes, they would be building a new life with each other. A life where they would coexist beside each other. But could they stand to see the darker shades of life and magic? Would they learn to see demons and liches and other strange beings no different than elves or neko? What would this new world bring about? Would it harbor more peace or war? Only time would tell.
Sat Aug 07, 2021 1:14 pm
People fought to prove their world and do battle just for the sake of doing so. What stopped the world from turning into a complete mageocracy where the strongest magics reigned supreme, and those with supportive tendencies were dismissed as pointless and weak compared to the others? There was no real way to know for sure than to question those that had a blood lust for battle themselves. One could only guess and speculate on the matter until then. that was all she could do for most of what flooded her mind.

While a new form of government seemed promising, the fear of the unknown seemed to wash over her with uncertainties. Everything was a guess or an estimate. it was exciting to have a hand in making ones dream come true indirectly helping in rebuilding a country, but how far would it go? How far would this go before it would end? How would one be marked victorious over the other? was it the support behind their ideals? was it the number of lives that were spared, or the number of lives taken? Was it the strength of numbers or the value of their most priceless individuals?
Sat Aug 07, 2021 1:20 pm
They had more information than she had originally suspected. It was welcomed all the same. While she lay the foundations and cross beams to support the first floor of this small home, she smiled back at it. It may have been mostly her hand that had put it together, it was the minds of these seeming nobodies that had lent her enough information to assist. But it wasn't all about her.
Sat Aug 07, 2021 1:21 pm
Laying the foundation for a new kind of country, a new kind of era, a new kind of life for everyone in the country? was she not laying concrete to ensure a strong and sturdy foundation could not and would not be shaken so easily? Was she not monitoring in her own way, supervising and watching over to ensure that no issues, no mistakes would be made? was that not the future they were fighting for? Its what she believed in, and with the thoughts floating about in her brain, she could imagine that others would be doing the same, if not in the same great detail of depth.
Sat Aug 07, 2021 1:21 pm
It was a righteous idea that she could only hope they would achieve together as a collective. with the last few beams being lifted to be put into place she wondered what her purpose in it all would be. Would her place in this new government machine be no different than the farmers that helped build this home would she be fit for something far greater? Would she be the one to take a seat beside the new queen's throne giving laws and orders to others to secure their new and great nation? Or would she merely be a pawn in the grand scheme of it all? Time would tell, and she couldn't wait to find out what the answer was.
Sat Aug 07, 2021 1:22 pm
It would be something to ask, but with the last few interactions not exactly going to plan, it wasn't really something she wanted to try and attempt again. It was something better left alone. She would dismiss thr thought, perhaps saving her knowledge to build a home of her own one day in the perfect location. It would be easy now given her knowledge on the matter, with only a few to aid her it should only really take a day or so.
Sat Aug 07, 2021 1:22 pm
With how this place was built it was like all of these back road places were connected, and having the people recognize each from helping each other out after some event seemed to be the new normal, or always was the normal for them. The pink haired girl took a moment to wonder how normal her normal was in the eyes of outsiders, or in whatever sense of the word average was. She could do her best to think about it, but without any real outside perspective to think of directly or even indirectly, her mind would come up blank to the idea. Any attempt would be wasted energy and time at an inconclusive thought. She would have to ask others another time when pressing matters were not so apparent before her.

With rather quick explanation it seemed like people were rotating jobs and tasks, and people were doing other tasks, mainly to keep those qualified to keep working within their field. It made little sense for an electrician to erect a fence, and have the carpenter do the wiring. Which to be fair, was a rather sound argument. She could have stuck along and saw it through to the end, but it was smarter to refine what she was taught rather than try and learn a dozen new skills today.

With the last bits of a final inspection, they would make sure it was stepping ad settle on the concrete and that all of their boards were in place and secured properly, after doing so the lot of them made their way back through the alleys and into the plaza once more, seeing where else they were needing to be. Their task as a group was to simply put up structures or prepare pieces to be put up. They were part of the many construction teams. Psykhe was just one of many people who had been attached to these groups to help defend against rebels, whom thankfully had not presented themselves yet.
