GRACE
made by remi of rilla go! and adoxography
It had been a long time since she last set foot in the Neutral Kingdom, last under the alias of Infinity. Back during the reign of Arthmîn and Malmuirie, and when Vanth was Lord of the Underworld. Much time had passed since then, and her identity had probably been forgotten. So much had changed - from leadership to the lands themselves - that Grace was sure she had been forgotten. Should anyone begin to think that she looked familiar, she would merely insist that Infinity had been her mother, who had told her that the Neutral Kingdom would accept her should she be in any danger. The truth, of course, for her return was much more malicious. Her younger brother, a Fiend of Hell by the name of Ouija, had contacted her and asked a favor of her. He had promised a Helkaer mare, Harlan, to help her gain intel on the Neutral Kingdom, in exchange for her allowing him to take one of her captive's souls, a stallion by the name of Nyko. Ouija could not go to Meraki Woods without being easily found out, unless he hid himself and became invisible (which he very well may do, in the near future), but he knew the chances of hearing information that way were little to none. So, he had requested that Grace go back undercover in the Neutral Kingdom, weaseling her way into a trusted position and gaining information for both himself and for Harlan. Since Ouija was her brother, and they had always been close, she had agreed, deciding on the name Chanel this time around, just in case there was still someone who may recognize her former alias of Infinity.
It was high noon by the time she arrived at the border of Meraki Woods. Despite it being a different location than Tremala Woods, it still felt faintly familiar and she golden maiden halted at the nearest border, breathing in the scent of the heart of the Neutral Kingdom. She had had to travel deep into what had once been Tremala Woods to find the reaches of Meraki. The terrain was coated in snow. It clung to the bare branches of the trees above, sometimes falling in clumps down upon the earth as wind would rush through, causing the branches to shudder and shake. Calm and serene, the Paso Fino held steady at the border, ears perked and brown eyes searching for any sign of guards - Wild Equines was at war, so she was expecting to be found quickly. At first, there was nothing but the creaking of snow-laden branches above her until, at long last, she heard the unmistakable sounds of others approaching.
She spotted the guards through the trunks of trees, and upon spotting them, the mare whinnied - a way of announcing herself, kind and warm, as well as requesting their presence. One of the duo of guards responded and, after speaking with whoever they were with, the duo split. She assumed one of them was going to fetch the King and/or Queen or someone else of high rank, while the other was coming to question her. Grace did not feel unsettled or anxious at all, even giving a pretty little smile as the guard neared her and halted, blocking her from crossing the border and officially entering Meraki Woods. Grace gave a low, submissive dip of her head - feigning that she meant them and their Kingdom no harm. Before the guard could even demand to know who she was, she was speaking in faintly Spanish accented tones, "My name is Chanel, and I have come seeking to join the Neutral Kingdom. I want to help, in any way I can, to assure the Neutral Kingdom is safe during the war." After speaking, she lifted her head and smiled again, knowing there was no way to tell she was lying through her teeth. She had waited until the faint scent of Hell had faded from her own pelt, and then waited another day longer after it had gone before even heading to Meraki. There would be no connection between herself and Ouija, or her father, Acacias, or anyone else in the Underworld. To this guard, or to anyone else that met her, she would just seem like any other common mare hoping to help her alliance.
