video; after the move

[lemontree]

[ Well, this is certainly a change. The sun is a welcome sight, after so long... though, it's unforgiving, scorching. Familiar.

That may be why Dany is dressed differently than normal, addressing the network with a quiet sort of resolve. ]

I have not met many of you, but I hope that you all avoided as much of the suffering from the Null as possible. I know it hasn't been easy, not for anyone.

[ And, judging by the weather, it'll only get more difficult. ]

I am Daenerys. I am Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, and this new land is not unfamiliar to me. I have never been here, but I have spent much of my time in these past few years, before Hadriel, in a similar place. Whether in the lands of the Dothraki or in the unforgiving Red Waste, I have endured, and that is why I want to help.

[ Girl knows her deserts. Dany draws herself up, working toward a presentation with as much credibility as possible. ]

I intend to travel and to explore the area. If there are any others who would join me, then I welcome the company... and, frankly, the protection. Despite my practice, I am not a warrior by any means. [ Ahem. ] Until our party leaves, I am available to aid those who are struggling with the climate. Please, call on me and I will be there.

[ There's a pause, and a tiny smile as she dips her chin. ]

Be well.

Those in the North speak of the Children of the Forest and of the White Walkers. [ She says, though her tone hints that she isn't a big believer in such things. ] Do you have stories like those in your world?

[musicandmovement]

We have stories like that. And some of the stories people think aren't real are real. [He doesn't mean what he says to come across like he's chastising her for not believing the stories from her world aren't true. He's simply being straightforward about how things are in his world.]

Like some people might not think angels and demons are real, but they are. [He's never seen an angel personally but he's sure seen and fought quite a few demons.]

[lemontree]

People thought that the dragons had all gone forever, but they were wrong. [ She knows what he means, has examples from her own world, even if she doesn't believe in some of the others. ]

"Angels and demons?" [ Dany questions. She can guess at what he might mean by 'demons,' but the former is a stranger word. ] What are they, then, in your experience?

[musicandmovement]

Angels are celestial beings who are messengers and soldiers of god. The angel Raziel mixed his blood with a human to create the Nephilim, the Shadowhunters. Shadowhunters fight demons to protect the people of the world because demons exist to cause chaos.

[lemontree]

[ As she thought, one is considered good and the other evil. Many of the words are new - Raziel, Nephilim, Shadowhunters - but he does explain. ]

"Soldiers of god?" You believe in gods, then?
