ALBUM REVIEW: Lucia Stavros - Burn you Up

Loosh performing Corona at Sofar New York on September 6th, 2016.

How the solar eclipse gave us community

We shouldn’t have to wait for once-in-a-generation events to find community

"It’s a freak coincidence, an oddity of our little slice of the universe with a moon that is both 400 times smaller than our sun, and 400 times closer to us than our sun that produces some truly mind-blowing visuals."

Queen Victoria’s Descendants (LIVING DESCENDANTS ONLY)

If you see any mistakes or can offer info on something like “Child 1” or an unknown birth or death year, please let me know. The only non-living descendants I kept on this list were her children

Key

Bold names=Queen Victoria’s children

* Descendants are already listed elsewhere on this list or the ones who would follow said person Examples:  Mark Nicholas van Eyck should be followed by  Princess Dorothea of Hesse but she and her descendants are also descended elsewhere. Another examples are Queen Elizabeth II & The Duke of Edinburgh’s descendants and the descendants of Princess Sibylla of Saxe-Coburg und Gotha and  Prince Gustaf Adolf, Duke of Västerbotten

** I’ve seen reports that she died in 2002, but no obituary. Any ideas?

Bold and Italics together on one name denotes this person is presently the eldest and longest lived person of Queen Victoria (The Duke of Edinburgh)

Round 1 Results

Thank you for voting! It was fun to watch the graphs change. Round 2 starts now and voting will be open until midnight on March 9th. You can vote in round 2 right here. Don’t forget about sharing your headcanons, meta, or anything else you can think of to sway the votes using #Bond Madness. 

Villain Bracket

It doesn’t matter which actor you associate with Erst Stavro Blofeld, Dr. No just can’t beat him, loosing with only 26.7% of the votes. Similarly, it doesn’t matter if you prefer canon or fanon 006, Alec Trevelyan won 93.8% of the votes against Franz Sanchez. 

In the first of many brackets that are dominated by the characters in newer movies, Raoul Silva beat Rosa Klebb with 94.4% of the votes. Le Chiffre truly whipped Emilio Largo with a 93.8% majority.

It took us forever to finish reading the book, but Auric Goldfinger has won over Dominic Greene with 73.3% of the votes. 

Gustav Graves only received 26.7% of the votes, losing to Mr. Big. Electra King narrowly beat out Francisco Scaramanga with 53.3% of votes, the same margin by which Elliot Carver beat Karl Stromberg. 

Henchpersons

In perhaps another reflection of the age of our fandom, Mr. Hinx won over Red Grant by 75%. However the old made a comeback as Oddjob came ahead against Patrice with 64.7% of the votes. 

General Medrano narrowly won 53.3% of the votes against Fiona Volpa and Osato only got 33.3% of the votes, thereby loosing to Valenka. Miranda Frost won 53.3% of the votes against Irma Blunt and despite @castillon02‘s post, May Day lost to Xenia Onatop, only securing 37.5% of the votes.

Dario lost to Tee Hee Johnson with 28.6% of the votes, but the overwhelming victor of this bracket was Jaws, who won 94.1% of the votes against Nick Nack. 

Bond Girls

Madeline Swann does not have the love of this fandom, losing 68.8% of the vote to Honey Rider. Christmas Jones lost by the same margin to Tiffany Case. Severine also lost 60% of the votes to Tatiana Romanova. Octopussy squeezed out a victory over Natalya Simonova by 58.8%.

Again, despite @spiritofcamelot‘s endorsement, Vesper Lynd beat Kissy Suzuki with 88.2% of the votes, but Tracy was victorious over Jinx with 75% of the votes. 

It was a close race between Wai Lin and Solitaire, with Wai Lin just securing her well earned victory with 52.9% of the votes. But this was not the closes race. Our only tie in this round was between Camille Montes and Pussy Galore. To settle it, we flipped a coin. Camille was the lucky one and will be advancing to round 2. 

MI6 Support and Allies

This category was the least divisive, with only two battles not being a 100% victory. Sharkey lost to Quarrel with only 43.8% of the vote and Rene Mathis secured 68.8% over Tiger Tanaka. Everyone else won a total victory. 

M beat Lucia Sciarra, Moneypenny beat Paris Carver, Tanner beat Ronson, Kincade beat Lupe Lamora, Felix Leiter beat Villiers, and (unsurprisingly) Q beat Jake Wade. 

Once again, round 2 voting is here and be sure to check out #Bond Madness. 

[bond007films]

A posthumous message from the previous M leads MI6 agent James Bond to carry out an unauthorised mission in Mexico City on the Day of the Dead, where he stops a terrorist bombing plot. Bond kills Marco Sciarra, the terrorist leader, and takes his ring, which is emblazoned with a stylised octopus.

Upon his return to London, Bond is suspended from field duty by Gareth Mallory, the current M, who is engaged in a power struggle with Max Denbigh (whom Bond dubs "C"), the Director-General of the new, privately backed Joint Intelligence Service formed by the merger of MI5 and MI6. C campaigns for Britain to join the global surveillance and intelligence initiative "Nine Eyes", and uses his influence to close down the '00' field agent section, which he believes is outdated.

Bond disobeys M's orders and travels to Rome to attend Sciarra's funeral. He saves and seduces Sciarra's widow, Lucia, who tells him Sciarra belonged to an organisation of businessmen with criminal and terrorist connections. Bond uses Sciarra's ring to infiltrate a meeting to select Sciarra's replacement, where he identifies the leader, Franz Oberhauser. After hearing Oberhauser give the order for the "Pale King" to be assassinated, Bond is pursued across the city in his Aston Martin DB10 by the organisation's assassin, Mr. Hinx, driving a Jaguar C-X75. Eve Moneypenny informs Bond that the Pale King is Mr. White, a former member of the organisation's subsidiary Quantum who had fallen afoul of Oberhauser. Bond asks her to investigate Oberhauser, who was presumed dead roughly twenty years earlier.

Bond locates White in Altaussee, Austria, where he is dying of thallium poisoning. He tells Bond to find and protect his daughter, psychiatrist Dr. Madeleine Swann, who will take him to L'Américain in order to locate Oberhauser; White then commits suicide. Bond confronts Swann and rescues her from Hinx and his forces. The pair meet Q, who links Oberhauser to Bond's previous missions, identifying Le Chiffre, Dominic Greene and Raoul Silva as agents of the same organisation, which Swann identifies as SPECTRE.

Swann takes Bond to L'Américain, a hotel in Tangier, and they discover that White left evidence directing them to Oberhauser's base at a crater in the Sahara. Taking a train to a remote station, Bond and Swann encounter Hinx, who gets ejected from the train in the ensuing fight, and are escorted to Oberhauser's base. Oberhauser reveals that SPECTRE has funded the Joint Intelligence Service while staging terrorist attacks around the world, creating a need for the Nine Eyes programme. In return, C will give SPECTRE unlimited access to intelligence gathered by Nine Eyes, allowing them to anticipate and counteract investigations into their operations. Bond is tortured as Oberhauser discusses their shared history: after the younger Bond was orphaned, Oberhauser's father, Hannes, became his temporary guardian. Believing that Bond supplanted his role as son, Oberhauser killed his father, staged his own death, adopted the name Ernst Stavro Blofeld and went on to form SPECTRE and target Bond. Bond and Swann stun Blofeld by setting off an explosive wristwatch at his face, and the two escape to London to prevent Nine Eyes from going online.

In London, Bond and Swann meet M, Q, Bill Tanner and Moneypenny with the intention of arresting C. Swann and Bond are separately abducted by SPECTRE operatives, while the rest of the group proceed with the plan. After Q succeeds in preventing Nine Eyes from going online, a struggle between M and C ends with C falling to his death. Bond is taken to the ruins of the old MI6 building, scheduled for demolition after Silva's bombing. Blofeld - still alive, but now scarred over his right eye - tells Bond that he must escape before explosives are detonated in three minutes' time, or die trying to save Swann. Bond finds Swann and they escape by boat as the building collapses. Bond shoots down Blofeld's helicopter, which crashes onto Westminster Bridge. Blofeld survives and manages to crawl away from the wreckage, only for Bond to confront him at gunpoint. Blofeld dares Bond to kill him, but Bond refuses and instead leaves him to be arrested by M; he reunites with Swann and the two leave the bridge.

The next morning, Bond borrows the repaired Aston Martin DB5 from Q and drives away with Swann.

Arc of the Masked Queen

“Five hundred more are moving from the south,” Lucas said as he moved a piece on the map towards the Lirian border. Lucia sat at the side of the great table where a replica of the kingdoms had been set up over a table in the meeting hall of the council of the Kingdoms.

After Varas had left another mage had taken his place as the Dridian representative, Lord Markos Count of Stavros. Two other lords seemed to be missing for this meeting, the Duke of Dubghal and the Duke of the Sleeping Woods. No one seemed concerned, but Lucia hadn’t heard why they were absent. Everyone seemed intent on the map and the numbers the little figures stood for.

“That makes ten thousand marching for the border,” Arian said approvingly. “The supply lines?”

“Are strong majesty,” Lucas said. “We have plenty of winter stores to draw from among the local populace.”

Which was probably their only food and was going to cause a famine this winter, but Lucia did not say this.

“What do the scouts say as they ride the borders?” Arian asked.

“There is no resistance,” Lucas answered. “So far there is no sign of Feng Loe sending out any force against us to defend the borders.”

“There might not be until we march on Shin-Ra,” Arian said. “We have to visit each lord’s castle as we move towards Shin-Ra. Have them hold those places so the Lirian Lords know we are on their side.”

“Yes majesty,” Lucas said. He looked ready to say more when the doors to the meeting hall burst open, banging against the walls with a loud clap. Marching in, flanked by several clerics, was a heavy set Regarian man. He was ageing, his head balding, and he wore travel stained robes of Sol and a chain of the Gold Order. He swept into the room and marched up to the table, slamming his fist down onto the representation of Daun on the map.

“I demand we march on Daun!” the Cleric bellowed, his face bright red.

“Grand Sect Elisha, dear uncle,” Arian said mildly. “What brings you home?”

“Shut up Arian!” Elisha shouted angrily. “I don’t want to beat around the bush with little platitudes. I want blood for this insult upon my person!”

“Explain yourself Elisha,” Arian said calmly. “What insult?”

“That cur that Daun calls a king has banished me from his kingdom,” Elisha said. “This is a direct violation of their treaty and a personal insult to the royal family. I want blood for this insult Arian.”

“When did he banish you?” Arian asked.

“On Isra’s Night,” Elisha answered hotly.

“You must have flogged ten horses to death to get here through winter in three weeks,” Arian said impressed. Elisha’s eyes flashed and Lucia guessed he probably had done just that. “Since you were in such a rush, I take it you have not heard the news.”

“What news?” Elisha asked his eyes glancing down at the table before them.

“Feng Loe has killed Son Rue and lain claim on the Lirian throne,” Arian answered. “He has declared his intent to claim all dominion over the kingdoms. Since my nephew is in line for the Lirian throne I must see to it he is put in his proper place.”

Elisha’s eyes bulged and his face flushed with anger, Lucia thought he looked ready to explode.

“Daun has insulted you Arian by throwing me out,” Elisha said past clenched teeth. “You must answer this insult with force.”

“Daun is a poor kingdom far to the north with little more than measly farmers for warriors. They live spread out in the moors gathering their sheep and staring at the clouds. They are not a threat and we would gain little by crushing them. We share a border with Lir, this threat is far more important than some pathetic farmers to the north.”

“They are in their own corner, if you give them time they will raise an army!” Elisha argued. “The king spoke of it as I left, he means to march south on you. And I heard whispers of discontent from Nyrgard and the Mark as I rode south, the north will unite again against you.”

“The Mark’s fangs have been pulled and I hold a valuable pawn of theirs,” Arian said, and everyone looked at Lucia. Of all the eyes on her the coldest were those of Urtha who looked at her like she was a traitor. She ignored him staring off at the map as if unaware of the eyes upon her.  

“As for Nyrgard they are snowed in until spring, and even then, it would take months for them to gather an army,” Arian said. “I have heard the reports of Sten’s movements, but he has yet to move openly against me. He is wise enough to keep his head down. After I make an example of Lir I believe the other kingdoms will not ever think of rebellion.”

“Really?” Elisha said. “Then where is the Daunish lord for your council?”

Everyone turned then to the empty chair and seemed to reconsider that.

“Send someone to look for the Lord Dubghal,” Arian ordered the page. “And the Lord Roth Ai.”

“You see nephew if you do not keep the rats in their place, they begin to rise up against you,” Elisha said as the page fled from the room. He looked at Lucia and then Urtha who glared back at him.

“Have you two heard the latest news from Warren?” Elisha asked as if bating them. “They say the wall has been rebuilt completely without flaw.”

Lucia was surprised and let it show as she had not heard this news. It was heartening, she had lived in Warren long enough to know the strain that had caused on the people of the city there.

“How?” Urtha said just as surprised.

“I have been hunting two witches who tried to kill me,” Elisha said. “It was these two who have healed the wall. I have no doubt they put a greater curse over the city, soon it will be a city of the dead from the plague, like a rotten piece of fruit.”

“How could healing the wall be a curse?” Urtha asked and Elisha’s eyes flashed.

“So, you deny the words of the Gods and ally yourself with these witches?” Elisha asked.

“Elisha,” Arian said sharply. “What did King Lonna do with these witches?”

“He banished them from the Mark when he should have captured them and turned them over to the Sect,” Elisha said.

“That hardly sounds like the Mark has turned their backs against the gods,” Urtha said.

“In these times where heresy is rife through the kingdoms, we cannot be lenient on those who are even close to turning away from the gods,” Elisha said fervently.

“King Lonna is simply keeping his neutrality in this matter,” Lucia said. “We of the Mark have not lost our way from the Gods. You have no proof my father meant anything overt by letting these witches go.”

“You think so?” Elisha said. “Then what of the rumors that these witches are also the lost princesses of the Alvar line?”

Silence met the snide remark for a beat before Arian laughed. Lucia stared at him surprised, she hardly ever heard him laugh.

“So, what if they are Elisha?” Arian said grinning. “They would need to gain the support of the kingdoms behind them to gain power. The Sect would be against them, Lir has declared war, and all others are committed to my reign. Their claim is weak at best, and few will raise their hand even if they had these two to rally behind. Lonna made it clear the Mark will not support their claim by throwing them out rather than keeping them.

“Right now, we must concentrate our efforts on Lir who has declared war openly, not those who have only raised minor slights against us.”

Before Elisha could argue more the page returned alone and bowed to the king who motioned him to speak.

“The Lord Dubghal is gone majesty,” the page said. “He and his household left two nights ago in the middle of the night, no one knows where he has gone.”

“See!” Elisha crowed.

“Silence Elisha or I will have your tongue cut out,” Arian said coldly. “And Roth Ai?”

“He is gone home as well, but he left a letter,” the page said holding out the letter. Arian took it and opened the letter, reading over the letter.

“Roth Ai claims he is near death and is seeking his rest among his family,” Arian said folding the letter. “He states he will send a replacement when he returns to the Court of Dreams and inform the Queen of our predicament with Lir.”

“This is even more suspicious than Dubghal!” Elisha argued. “How on earth does he know he is about to die?”

“The Aldan have always been mysterious,” Lord Markos said mildly. “The Lord Roth Ai has been near death for twenty years now; I am not surprised he went home to seek his kin.”

“It is an excuse to warn Alda that Regis is vulnerable while they wage war with Lir!” Elisha shouted. “Alda has always been our greatest enemy and threat.”

“Elisha, that is enough,” Arian said frostily. “If I were to follow your advice, I would have to wage war from Daun to Lir.”

“Yes!” Elisha raved. “Stain the lands with blood and all shall bow to the Regarian throne!”

“I will move at my own time,” Arian said calmly. “It is this blood lust that has driven past Regarian kings into ruin. Elisha, return to Menfer, you must face the High Sects there to see if you were the one in the wrong in Daun. Either way you have failed your charges and must face the judgement of the High Sects on this matter.”

“I will not…”

“This is an order Elisha!” Arian roared and everyone flinched. “Go now Elisha,” Arian said dangerously lowly. Elisha glared at him and for a moment it was a struggle of wills. At last Elisha bowed and left the room with little more preamble.

“Sherah,” Arian said, and his sister stood. “Who do you have set up as spies in the Court of Ages?”

“No one,” Sherah answered. “I had counted on Elisha to keep that court in line.”

“See if you can get someone planted then,” Arian said. “And make sure to keep an eye on Tyr and Lonna.”

“Yes majesty,” Sherah said.

“Lord Urtha, Lord Borr,” Arian said, and both lords flinched. “You will do best to write letters to your kings telling them of this latest news and my displeasure at anyone who thinks to challenge the throne. Have them keep an eye out for the Lord Dubghal and on their borders.”

“Yes majesty,” Lord Borr said lowly.

“Remind them why the alliance of the kingdoms was formed,” Arian said. “If the High King falls then so do the Kingdoms back to war and darkness back to the Cursed Ages. We do not want that to happen again.”

“No majesty,” Urtha said cowed.

“You are all dismissed,” Arian said sounding pained. “Go, I have matters to discuss with my sister.”

The lords stood and left with bows. Lucia stood and Sherah waved her away so she bowed to the king and left. She walked off alone until she left the hall and was joined by Bedivere as usual.

“Was Elrik not at the meeting milady?” Bedivere asked as he followed her, the other lords going their own way. “I would think meetings of war would be his favorite.”

“Once he realized most of what was discussed involved food and horses and not the maiming of their enemies, he went to oversee the troops,” Lucia answered calmly. “He has been bashing in heads of knights who fear to raise their blades to him.”

“He will want to march to war,” Bedivere said.

“The High King will not allow that,” Lucia said knowing Arian well. “Even if I hold Elrik’s heir the child could die, or only be a girl. He will not let Elrik risk his life until the line is more secure.”

“Arian has other children,” Bedivere said.

“A bastard and a daughter,” Lucia said. “The legality of the heir of the High Throne is complex and the one with the most direct legitimate line has always been favored. Bastards have been forbidden to take the high throne or any of the thrones in the Nine Kingdoms; it was expressly made illegal in the early 200’s after a civil war nearly tore Lir apart. The throne can be claimed by a new family and recognized by the High King, but a bastard cannot take the throne unless the parent acknowledges them as the heir.”

“But the law can be ignored if one has enough power,” Bedivere said mildly. “It has been done before.”

Lucia was sure history was rife with those who had stolen the throne of a kingdom with force alone, Lir and Xin had a history of that. But she didn’t feel like getting into a historical debate, so she let the matter drop. She had started to find Bedivere had a strong political mind and that sometimes crossed into the realms of history and law. Lucia remembered something then and turned to Bedivere.

“You are not of the Iron Order, are you?” Lucia asked.

“I am of the Steel Order milady,” Bedivere corrected. “Only the Holy Knights are members of the Steel Order. A member of the Sect can be only dedicated to one of the orders.”

“And only to one god,” Lucia said. “Why then do the Knights often wear Sol’s symbol when you serve Mavors?”

“Mavors is only a Demi God and as such cannot have dedicates that are solely his,” Bedivere said. “If one is to be a full Cleric one has to swear themselves to one of the Gods. Most Holy Knights pledge themselves to Sol as he is Mavors’ father.”

“Most but not all?” Lucia asked.

“There are some from Nyrgard who pledge to Tempest and become wandering knights,” Bedivere answered. “Actually, many of Tempest’s clerics are members of the Steel Order as well.”

Lucia nodded and kept walking, thinking now. She had paid little attention to the Sect since she had been Jeanne’s replacement, probably because she had paid little attention when she had been a peasant. Yet they were a force of power in the kingdom, maybe it was time she learn a bit more about them and how they worked.

The thought of the Sect reminded Lucia then that she had not one but two clerics in her service, and that she had neglected one. Since Marie had stopped following her around Lucia had thought this a good thing, but she suddenly wondered why she had stopped. When Lucia reached the women’s wing and left Bedivere behind she walked quietly down the hall to Jeanne’s rooms.

There were several ways to enter Jeanne’s rooms, one through the sitting room which Lucia used regularly. Another way was through the servant quarters, which Jeanne would never have used. Lucia went in through this entrance, peeking in first. No one was inside the little hall so she slipped in. She checked all the rooms and found them empty; the only ones that were occupied now were Bryony’s and Marie’s. Neither was in their rooms which Lucia found unsettling.

She walked on and peeked into the sitting room. There she saw Marie crouched before Jeanne’s door listening. Lucia almost leaped out and attacked the woman but held herself back. Instead she softly closed the door and walked back out. She entered though the sitting room to find Marie was gone, having heard her approach and entrance. Lucia went to Jeanne’s room to find Jeanne sitting alone reading.

“How did the meeting go?” Jeanne asked closing her book.

“Well milady,” Lucia said covering her concern. “Where is Bryony?”

“On an errand,” Jeanne said. “I should get more servants to help her out.”

“I will see to that milady,” Lucia said.

“Good, now tell me about the war council,” Jeanne said. Lucia had been informing Jeanne of the King’s decisions, and Lucia wondered if Jeanne in turn was writing to her father about this. It hardly mattered; Sherah said that spies from the other kingdoms were in the court doing the same thing. If there was anything that Arian wanted to keep secret he wouldn’t have let Lucia know.

“I’m going to write my father about this,” Jeanne said grimly when Lucia finished.

“Yes milady,” Lucia said.

“What no objection?” Jeanne said.

“Arian already ordered Urtha to write a letter if you wish to write one as well, I see no reason not to,” Lucia answered. “And I have a pressing teatime that I must attend to milady.”

“Of course, go ahead,” Jeanne said as she turned to her desk and started to pull out some paper and pen. “One thing I do not miss is teatime.”

“Thank you, milady,” Lucia said with a bow. She left Jeanne’s bedroom, Marie still nowhere to be seen. Lucia did not have a teatime with anyone, but now she did and was determined to find who she sought.

Walking out of Jeanne’s rooms and the women’s quarters Bedivere followed her without comment. Lucia knew though he would object when he found out where she was going. Sherah had taught her much about the Court of Miracles, including how to find and hire an assassin. She felt a slight pang at the thought of Seth and wondered what it would have been like to learn things of the court from him. They had only had those brief moments of flirtation, and hints at something that could have been very deep between them. They had both endured pain in their lives and sought to relieve that pain in another’s arms.

Lucia shook off thoughts of a man that had once held her love and walked on. There were many gathering places for those in court where courtiers could meet and talk. Lucia headed to one of the sitting rooms, where nobles milled about over tea and stronger drinks gossiping. Men and women mingled here it was one of the few places that were public to both genders. With Bedivere at her side Lucia felt comfortable walking up and sitting down at a table across from the man she sought.

The Marque de Carabas Jacque Basille looked surprised as Lucia sat across from him. He carefully set down the glass of brandy he had been sipping and leaned onto the table. Lucia waved Bedivere off to stand far enough away that he could not eavesdrop.

“Well met Lady Jeanne,” he said smoothly. “What brings the great Princess of Cair Leon to my office?”

“I wish to know everyone in my court Lord Basille,” Lucia answered smoothly. A servant hurried forward and Lucia turned to the man. “A cup of tea if you would, extra cream.”

The servant bowed and hurried to prepare her drink.

“No one comes to me simply to get to know me,” Jacque said mildly.

“No, I suppose not,” Lucia said. “But I would like to discuss business in a more private setting. But let us finish our drinks first.”

The servant returned just at that moment and set a cup of tea before her, the man bowing before leaving again. Lucia took the fine china cup and drank the fragrant tea, savoring the warmth it brought her.

“I believe every servant in the palace knows the way I like my tea,” Lucia said mildly setting her cup down on its saucer. “I think all I would have to say is tea and they would get it perfect.”

“Indeed,” Jacque said his eyes narrow. He was a shrewd man Lucia could see he was Regarian after all. “I hope though you have more stimulating conversation other than tea milady.”

“Perhaps a man named Seth?” Lucia asked, but Jacque didn’t even twitch an eyebrow.

“I’m afraid I don’t know the name.”

“Of course, he did go by several names. Grey was one I know, Cain another, when we first met, he introduced himself as Hollow Jack.”

Jacque laughed and took a sip from his brandy. Lucia took another drink as well, waiting for Jacque to stop laughing.

“That crazy bastard was always such a wise ass,” Jacque said shaking his head. “So, I take it you want to know about your would-be assassin milady? And wish him dead?”

“I already know who hired him and I have nothing to fear from him,” Lucia answered. “I may know more about him than you do.”

“Indeed,” Jacque said his gaze knowing. Lucia didn’t care if he thought Jeanne had an affair with an assassin; he had no proof and so wouldn’t gossip. Sherah said that Jacque also knew many secrets of the court, yet he never revealed anything he knew. He had built a reputation as a middleman, and middle men had to keep secrets if they wanted to get clients.

“Though I believe you know a few things about this man that I do not,” Lucia said. “I would like to hear about him from one of his friends.”

“Friends?” Jacque said doubtfully.

“Coworkers then,” Lucia said, and Jacque laughed again.

“I can see why he would like you milady,” Jacque said and then grew serious. “I can see very well. He was the type that hated killing.”

“An assassin that hates killing?” Lucia said puzzled. Seth had never seemed like he hated killing, she had seen him kill; he did it with business like precision.

“Many don’t last long in our work,” Jacques answered. “Either their work catches up on them or they burn out and commit suicide. Some get away but living normal lives only makes it worse and they look for a short stop by a long rope. In Grey’s case it was the former.”

“So, I heard,” Lucia said sadly.

“I am sorry milady,” Jacques said sounding sincere. “Grey was a professional, I think he liked to do things in an odd way just to alleviate some of his guilt. Making things interesting made it easier for him to do the deed. He is like many of us, those who fell into the life of violence and kept committing atrocities until they realized it was too late to turn back. To stop means death because to stop means facing those ghosts we made. He hated killing, but he had gone so far that there was no turning back.”

Lucia sat staring at this man who understood Seth better than she ever could.

“So, he sought to adopt wounded animals to help alleviate this guilt?” Lucia said softly.

“Many of us do the same,” Jacque said with a shrug. “I myself have a wife and two daughters. We all seek ways to make life worth living, just to keep our minds away from seeking death. When one is so close to death, when we deal in it, we know death can be just around the corner.”

“I see,” Lucia said looking down at her cup of tea.

“I think he saw you much like his animals,” Jacque said. “Abused and vulnerable, he would have done anything for you.”

“He left me,” Lucia said coolly meeting Jacque’s eyes. “He left when I may have needed him most.”

Jacque finished off his drink and Lucia watched him waiting for a response.

“So, you want answers then?” Jacque said. “You do not know why he left, and you hoped I would. He didn’t tell me anything.”

“No but you seem to understand him better than most,” Lucia said.

“No one can know another’s heart,” Jacque answered. “But I can guess. You kept your relation to Elrik, not that he would have been jealous. No, I think you staying in Elrik’s bed was equivalent to asking Grey to be tied to a post while a dog was beaten to death before him. He would have killed Elrik before long and gotten himself a death sentence.”

Lucia could no longer meet his eyes because she knew he was right. It was more complicated than that, she had volunteered to go into Elrik’s bed. Before sorrow could overwhelm her she took her tea cup and finished off the tea.

“I believe I am ready now to discuss business Lord Basille,” Lucia said mildly and stood. Jacque stood as well and followed her out of the sitting room. Lucia led the way through the halls and stopped in an open hallway. Only Bedivere had followed them and other than a servant sweeping down the hall no one was in sight. No one was within ear shot.

“A little open,” Jacque said.

“I’d like to see my spy’s milord,” Lucia answered. “And a spy is the one I have a problem with.”

“If you want a spy dead then you should get to know what they have learned before you kill them,” Jacque said. “That costs extra I’m afraid.”

“I do not need to know what they know because if my spy had told my secrets I would no longer be alive,” Lucia answered. If Marie had found out that Lucia was posing as Jeanne, she would not have kept that to herself.

“Don’t you want to know who hired your spy?” Jacque asked.

“No, I know I have many enemies,” Lucia said.

“That is careless of you milady,” Jacque said. “You should not leave your enemies afield.”

“My enemies include my own husband Lord Basille,” Lucia answered. “Like it or not I am living in the lion’s den. I just need to make sure that my enemies do not learn my secrets and I can survive.”

“Point well taken,” Jacque said. “So, who is your spy?”

“Sect Marie de Lorue,” Lucia answered but Jacque didn’t even blink. “That won’t be a problem will it?”

“Of course not,” Jacque said. “Is there any particular way you want her to die? Would you like to send a message or keep it quiet?”

“I do not want her employer to know she is gone,” Lucia said. “However, you can make it happen, just make her disappear.”

“Very well,” Jacque said. “Now to the matter of price…”

Lucia reached into her pocket and took out a necklace of diamonds.

“Your fee and the reaper’s,” Lucia said mildly.

“Thank you, milady but there is president,” Jacque said. “I do not give change.”

“Then think it a bribe to keep your mouth shut,” Lucia said.

“Lady Jeanne I am a professional,” Jacque said offended. Lucia sighed and stepped forward, pressing the necklace into Jacque’s hand as she leaned forward to kiss him on the cheek. She felt a dagger at her throat and looked up at Jacque with mild amusement.

“Then think this as a gift from a woman to her dead lover,” Lucia said. “Just think this as a token from me to his memory.”

Jacque stared at her for a heartbeat before withdrawing his dagger and taking the necklace. He bowed to her extravagantly before taking her hand and kissing it.

“You are a woman worthy of kings Lady Jeanne,” Jacque said.

“And you are a dangerous man Lord Basille,” Lucia said. “It has been a pleasure doing business with you; I look forward to doing business again.”

“Yes milady,” Jacque said. “Will you need confirmation?”

“No, I do not need to know what is to come of her,” Lucia answered. “I just want her gone.”

“Very well milady,” Jacque said. “Until next time.”

“Good day Lord Basille,” Lucia said as she turned and walked away. Bedivere joined her as she walked down the hall, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword.

“Do you know who that man is milady?” Bedivere asked.

“Yes, do you?” Lucia asked glancing at Bedivere. He looked away and she knew he did. “Do you disapprove Sir Bedivere?”

“That depends,” Bedivere said. “What name did you just give him?”

“Sect Marie de Lorue,” Lucia answered, and she saw Bedivere’s surprise.

“Milady she is your own Sect!” Bedivere said. “Why?”

“She was spying on me,” Lucia answered. “I will not have her learning my secrets.”

“Milady do you really have such secrets that will cost a woman her life?” Bedivere said horrified. Lucia stopped and turned to him and Bedivere met her eyes evenly. She realized she could not keep up the lie anymore with this man; he was too sharp and lived in her shadow. If he learned the truth on his own, he may betray her.

“I do,” Lucia said calmly. “A secret that holds my life, my child’s, and the Lady Jeanne’s in the balance.”

Bedivere looked confused for a moment before his eyes cleared in horrified understanding. He seemed to go through several stages of shock, denial, and anger in a few heartbeats before calming to a cold certainty.

“I gave my oath, and I am a man of my oath,” he said softly at last. “I am right in saying that to reveal this will take Jeanne’s life?”

“Yes,” Lucia said calmly. “I am her shield, practically her replacement at this point. I bear the child she should have born had Elrik not mutilated her.”

“I see,” Bedivere said sounding sick.

“Do you wish to see Jeanne to confirm this?” Lucia asked.

“No,” Bedivere said shaking his head. “All my life I have sought to serve a noble lady that would be worthy of my loyalty. I found that in you, only to learn you are not what you seem.”

“I am sorry Bedivere,” Lucia said regretful and worried.

“No, I am glad to serve you milady,” Bedivere said taking her hand and bowing to her. “I just need time to adjust my thinking. You are the one I was meant to serve, I protect the protector. I serve you milady.”

“Thank you Bedivere,” Lucia said moved.

“If I may ask milady, what is your name?” Bedivere asked.

“Lucia but let us leave it at that. I am Jeanne to you and must always be Jeanne.”

“Yes milady,” Bedivere said. Lucia did not want him to know she was only a peasant, she wasn’t sure he could swallow that.

“You understand then why Marie must die,” Lucia said.

“Yes milady,” Bedivere said. “I withdraw my objection.”

“Very well,” Lucia said. “Come, I must return to my rooms, I will leave you then to adjust your thoughts. And Bedivere, you understand what will happen should you reveal my secret.”

“Yes milady,” Bedivere said with another bow.

“Good,” Lucia said before she turned away back down the hall.

The next day Marie was nowhere to be found. Her things were still in her room, but there was no sign where she had gone. Lucia didn’t report her missing until a few days later, but nothing much was said on the matter. Another Sect came and cleared out Marie’s things and that seemed the end of it until another Sect approached Lucia one night at dinner.

“Princess Jeanne.”

Lucia turned to see the Grand Sect of Regis standing at her elbow. The man was a Sect of Cael, wearing Cael’s circle as well as the iron token of the Order of Iron. Lucia of course knew Sect Ichabod; he had been giving the sermons for the court. He was a tall thin Regarian man, his face lean and lips thin.  

“Sect Ichabod,” Lucia said bowing her head to him. “How may I help you?”

“It has come to my attention milady that your personal Sect Marie is no longer in your service,” Ichabod said mildly. “I am neglectful in my spiritual duties to both the gods and you to let this pass without finding you a replacement milady.”

“I’m afraid I have to refuse Sect,” Lucia said mildly. “I did not get along well with Marie; she did little for me and never helped me in my spiritual matters. You were the one who chose her were you not Sect?”

“Not personally, the gods chose her,” Ichabod answered his eyes narrow.

“The gods are wise, but perhaps Marie was not as skilled as they had thought,” Lucia said. “I wish to choose my own Sect; one that I can get along with better if that is alright with the gods.”

The look on Ichabod’s face said that it was not alright at all. But Lucia knew he didn’t have the power to force her.

“I will have to discuss it with the gods,” Ichabod said. “And the king.”

“Of course,” Lucia said unconcerned and saw Ichabod flinch. “I would love to discuss this with my dear father-in-law.”

She watched the man squirm under her gaze knowing very well she made an enemy in doing so. She was enjoying this power play however, and Ichabod backed down first.

“I will consult the gods, milady,” Ichabod said with a bow and he left.

So, Lucia had found out who had employed Marie as a spy. Ichabod probably hadn’t had any real motives in setting a spy on Lucia, probably all personal Sects spied on their lords at his behest. Lucia had just upset one of the natural order of networking in the court. But she couldn’t risk the truth coming out to keep Ichabod comfortable in his place. Now Ichabod was onto her however, he knew she had something to hide and she had belittled him.

Lucia however was looking forward to what he had in store and bringing the man down a few notches. He would soon learn she was not someone he could mess with. For a moment Lucia contemplated this ruthless and reckless nature. It was new to her she knew, but not fresh. The Court of Miracles had hardened her, and Lucia knew this was needed if she was to survive.

She still did weekly visits out into the city and her popularity was growing. In Whore’s Ward the whores absolutely adored her to the point that many had started to copy her appearance. Lucia had heard that the price for a Markian girl had gone up and many whores had died their hair black to be like her. Lucia supposed this was a compliment; she certainly enjoyed seeing more Markian style dresses among the whores.  

The thieves of Rogue Town still avoided her passing, some ignoring her out right. Many of the prisoners of the Hanged Man Quarter still sang her name, and the people of Poor Man’s Paradise still loved the food she handed out. Odd Terminal had gotten used to her passing and now traffic moved smoothly aware of when she would be passing through.

Lucia wasn’t sure if this had any effect on the Legion, but their presence seemed lesser in the city. There had been no riots of late and the curfew was obeyed. Sherah though had passed on little information about going on. Sherah’s attention seemed to be on the coming war, with Arian whose whole attention was on conquering Lir. There were thousands of details that had to be seen to, Lucia was amazed at the two siblings who took charge of Regis.

The war meetings weren’t changing much with the reports they were getting in. It had been two weeks since they had started into Lir and the army had moved like a great lumbering beast. They had started to encounter resistance.

“It seems Loe finally grew a spine,” Elrik said suppressing a yawn. Arian had finally gotten Elrik to attend the war meetings, but he fell asleep often.

“Or he finally got a decent number of men from the lords,” Arian said dryly and looked to Sherah. His sister nodded to him and shuffled through her papers.

“I have several reports, but most agree that Loe is holding relatives of the lords at Shin-Ra,” Sherah said. “Those that do not have relative’s as hostages have been visited by death.”

“So he is killing the nobles that would resist him,” Elrik said with a grin.

“No nephew,” Sherah said mildly. “Death is the name they have given to Loe’s assassin.”

Lucia felt a stir of hope and looked at Sherah for confirmation, but the noble woman wouldn’t look at her.

“A lone assassin?” Arian said puzzled.

“This man seems to have been granted some mage enchantments or some other power that Loe commands because he is able to get into any castle and capture the head of the lord residing there. He kills any one in his path and cannot be killed. He is said to be the one that slew Son Rue, and he wears the mask of Death from Lirian plays. No one knows anything about him except that he seems almost inhuman. None of my spies have managed to get close to him, it seems he never sleeps. He doesn’t partake in whores or any other recreation, so it is hard to gather information on him.”

Lucia let her hope go, she could not know this man was Seth despite the instinct that told her he might be. Besides this man was working for Loe who was her enemy.

“So this man is Loe’s bully boy,” Arian said. “Well the method worked, he got four thousand men to meet our army.”

“Have they been crushed yet?” Elrik said and Arian glared at his son with distain.

“No Elrik the armies have only engaged in a few tentative attacks,” Arian said.

“Why?” Elrik asked petulantly. “They’ve been there for weeks now!”

“They have only been there for a week Elrik and that is what a majority of battle are about, waiting,” Arian said. “That four thousand are currently holding Kon Fort.”

“So just go around it!” Elrik shouted slamming his fist down on the map table toppling a few pieces over. Lucia had learned to watch Arian well and instinctively put her arms over her belly protectively. Arian went from his cool calm to hot anger in a blink of an eye. He leaned over the table and hit Elrik with the back of his hand sending his son tumbling to the floor. The gathered lords flinched but made no move to help the young prince up.

“I taught you better than that Elrik,” Arian said his voice as hard as stone. Elrik glared at his father as he got back up and into his chair. “You cannot leave a fort to your back. But I will not wait for a long siege; we do not have the supplies for it. It will take time to break the fort however. We need to…”

Whatever Arian was going to say he stopped as a messenger hurried in. The man was Lirian, covered in road dust, and limping. Instead of going to Arian he went to Sherah and feel at her feet kneeling. Sherah spoke to him in Lirian, and he responded rapidly. Lucia looked to Lord Gan Wu who was leaning forward to listen. His face showed a look of confusion and shock, Sherah’s taking on the same look. The messenger finished and Sherah dismissed him.

“Who was that?” Elrik asked.

“One of the spies I had in Lir,” Sherah answered quietly. “He reports an army is moving from Shin-Ra to the border.”

“An army?” Arian said puzzled.

“An army of monsters,” Sherah answered. “They came from the east and they call themselves Orcs. They are man eaters and hardly look human.”

“I’m interested in numbers Sherah,” Arian said dryly.

“Sixty thousand,” Sherah answered and Arian’s eyes flashed.

“You trust this man to tell the truth,” Arian said.

“Yes Arian I do,” Sherah said. “He said he had to flog two horses to death to get the news here before the Orcs, they seem to move swiftly.”

“We will have to move up some things then,” Arian said mildly.

“What?” Lord Wu said. “That is all you have to say? The size of that army alone can crush the force you have at the border.”

“And I can summon ten times that from the countryside,” Arian said mildly. “I think you forget that I am the High King. I have only drawn on the Holy Knights of the Sect, there are still far more resources at my disposal Lord Wu, and I would like for you to remember that.”

“What are you going to do then?” Lord Wu asked.

“Lord Lev,” Arian said turning to the representative of Xin. “Send a message to your brother. I would like an army of mercenaries sent through the passes of the Spine Mountains.”

“That maybe hard majesty,” Lev answered.

“Why? It should be the wet season in the desert now,” Arian said. “The passes through the Spine should be clear.”

“Yes, but the rains have not come,” Lev answered. “So, I’ve been told. And there is the danger of Zar Ne Zar. We cannot spare many men.”

“I am not asking for Evalon’s soldiers,” Arian said. “But for the nomad mercenaries. Talk to those horse people and send them north.”

“The Horse Lords do not come cheap majesty,” Lev said.

“Do I look like I am pressed for money?” Arian said crossly. “Arrange it Lev or I’ll have one of your other brothers come here and feed you to my bear.”

“Yes majesty,” Lev said miserably.

“Good,” Arian said. “Brago, I don’t want any smart remark from you. Go to your king and see if you can get any sort of organized force out of Hyria and report back.”

“Yes majesty,” Brago answered, wisely keeping to a meek answer. Arian was obviously in a foul mood given this recent news.

“Sherah, I’m placing you in charge while I’m gone,” Arian said.

“Great!” Elrik said excited. “When are we going to battle?”

“You’re staying here Elrik,” Arian said glaring at his son.

“What?” Elrik said outraged. “Then why is Sherah in charge?”

“Because no one can read Bart’s handwriting,” Arian answered and Elrik flushed at the insult. Black Bart was asleep in the corner; he was a fairly lazy bear actually. Elrik looked ready to argue when Arian stood up. He didn’t lift a hand against his son but standing over him glaring Lucia could see Elrik shrink back from his father.

“You will stay here and obey your aunt in all regards Elrik,” Arian said. “Try to learn from her because if you don’t, I’m naming Anton my heir.”

“You can’t do that!” Elrik shouted.

“Watch me Elrik,” Arian said icily. “Now leave all of you, I have orders for Sherah while I am off to battle.”

Lucia stood and left, Elrik falling into step next to her. Bedivere was close behind, his hand resting on his sword.

“Relax knight I’m not going to do anything,” Elrik said glaring at Bedivere. “Back up.”

“Go on Sir Bedivere,” Lucia said calmly. “I’ll shout if I need you.”

“Yes milady,” Bedivere said falling back to let Lucia walk with Elrik alone.

“Well Elrik I’m ready for your temper tantrum,” Lucia said mildly. “Go on.”

“I’m not a child Jeanne,” Elrik said frowning.

“Then don’t act like one,” Lucia answered.

“I didn’t follow you to argue Jeanne,” Elrik said heatedly. “I want your help in getting rid of my father.”

“First I think that is a very bad idea and would never aid you in such an endeavor,” Lucia answered. “And second why would you even need my help?”

“I want you to hire the assassin so it cannot be traced back to me,” Elrik answered. “Sherah is very sharp and if she found out that I was behind my father’s death she would be sure to make Anton king instead. Since she has her spy network, she has a lot of assassins as well. She would kill me and put Anton on the throne if she found out I am behind my father’s death.”

“No Elrik I’m not helping you kill your father,” Lucia said firmly. “He’s going to war, he might die in battle.”

“Not my father,” Elrik said sounding both proud and angry at the same time. “He won’t ever be in battle and if he is he is strong enough to defend himself. I’ve seen him in a few sparing matches, he’s a great warrior.”

Lucia for the first time saw through Elrik and stopped in her tracks in astonishment. He was a boy, a small boy trapped in the shadow of his father. He wanted his father to acknowledge him, so he imitated what he thought of him. Elrik was little better than a toddler wearing his father’s boots that were far too big for him.

“Elrik he is your father and I know he aggravates you, but you cannot let him get to you,” Lucia said soothingly. “Rise above his opinion of you and prove yourself to be the king you will be.”

Elrik stared at her astonished and maybe looked at her truly for the first time. She saw some of his anger and hatred for her melt a little and he stepped closer to her. She lowered her eyes and he kissed her, for once gently. They parted, Elrik stroking her cheek.

“I will be a great king,” he said lowly, his fingers trailing down to her throat. His grip tightened slightly, not enough to bruise or cause pain, but the pressure was a threat. “And you remember that you are my queen, under me and only for birthing me many sons.”

“Yes milord,” Lucia said softly. “What of your father?”

“I won’t lower myself to be a patricide,” Elrik said sounding bored. “He’ll need me for battle soon enough.”

“Yes milord,” Lucia said.

Elrik let her go and walked away, Lucia giving a sigh of relief.

“Are you alright milady?” Bedivere asked coming up to her side.

“I’m fine, we were just sharing a few sweet words,” Lucia answered and Bedivere snorted with distain.

“Does he know milady?” Bedivere asked. “Is that why he mistreats you?”

“No, he is just cruel,” Lucia answered glaring after Elrik. “Come let us go, I have tea time with the queen.”

“Yes milady,” Bedivere said following her.

Daniel Wroughton Craig (* 2. März 1968 in Chester, Cheshire) ist ein britischer Schauspieler. Er wurde vor allem durch seine Rolle als James Bond bekannt, die er seit 2006 spielt.

James Bond 007: Spectre (Originaltitel: Spectre) ist ein britischer Agententhriller. Er ist der 24. Film aus der James-Bond-Filmreihe und der vierte Film mit Daniel Craig in der Titelrolle. Der Film knüpft an den Vorgängerfilm Skyfall (2012) an und führt gleichzeitig die Handlung von Casino Royale (2006) und Ein Quantum Trost (2008) fort. Er feierte am 26. Oktober 2015 in London Weltpremiere und startete in Deutschland und der Schweiz am 5. November und in Österreich am 6. November 2015.

Besetzung Daniel Craig: James Bond („007“) Christoph Waltz: Ernst Stavro Blofeld/Franz Oberhauser Léa Seydoux: Madeleine Swann Ralph Fiennes: Gareth Mallory „M“ Ben Whishaw: „Q“ Naomie Harris: Eve Moneypenny Dave Bautista: Mr. Hinx Monica Bellucci: Lucia Sciarra

Barbara Broccoli übernahmen 1995 die Produktion der Filme von ihrem Vater Albert R. Broccoli, von 1962 bis 1989 Produzent, bis 1974 zusammen mit Harry Saltzman.

1961 erwarb der Produzent Harry Saltzman die Filmrechte für die Bücher Flemings und gründete zusammen mit Albert R. „Cubby“ Broccoli die Produktionsgesellschaft Eon Productions sowie deren Muttergesellschaft Danjaq für die Urheber- und Markenrechte. Gemeinsam mit der Filmgesellschaft United Artists (UA), mit dem Vertrieb beauftragt, brachten sie im Oktober 1962 den ersten Bond-Film mit dem Titel Dr. No heraus. In den nächsten 27 Jahren erschienen 15 weitere Filme der Reihe, wobei Saltzman 1975 aufgrund von Differenzen, die seine anderen Filmprojekte hervorriefen, und aus finanziellen Gründen seinen Anteil an Danjaq nach 13 Jahren an United Artist verkaufte. Während Saltzman also nach Der Mann mit dem goldenen Colt (1974) bei den James-Bond-Filmen ausstieg, wurde die bisherige Vertriebsgesellschaft UA damit auch Mitbesitzer der Filmrechte. Nach Lizenz zum Töten aus dem Jahr 1989 kam es wegen Differenzen zwischen der Produktions- und der Verleihfirma zu einer fast sechseinhalbjährigen Unterbrechung, bevor GoldenEye 1995 auf die Leinwand kam. Danach entstand durchschnittlich alle drei Jahre ein neuer Bond-Film. Damit ist die 007-Serie eine der am längsten bestehenden und eine der wirtschaftlich erfolgreichsten Filmreihen in der Filmgeschichte.

Am 14. Oktober 2005 wurde in London bekanntgegeben, dass Craig als Nachfolger von Pierce Brosnan der sechste Darsteller des fiktiven britischen Geheimagenten James Bond sein werde.

Direkt nach der Pressekonferenz am 14. Oktober 2005, bei der Daniel Craig als neuer 007 vorgestellt worden war, reagierten die Presse und Teile der Öffentlichkeit ablehnend. So wurde er beispielsweise als unscheinbar, zu blond und ängstlich bezeichnet. Es kam vermehrt zu Protestaktionen mit dem Ziel, Casino Royale bei dessen Kinoaufführung zu boykottieren, um Craig von dieser Rolle wieder abzusetzen. Britische Boulevardblätter gaben ihm sogar den Spitznamen James Bland (James Langweilig). Die ehemaligen Bond-Darsteller Sean Connery, Roger Moore und Pierce Brosnan sowie Christopher Lee und Toby Stephens gaben Craig allerdings Rückendeckung.

Zum Kinostart überzeugte Craigs schauspielerisches Talent in Kombination mit einem enormen Körpereinsatz; es folgten fast ausschließlich begeisterte Kritiken. Der neue Bond sei, so die Londoner Times, „glaubwürdiger als seine Vorgänger“, was fast einem Ritterschlag gleichkomme, so der Spiegel.

„Er hat den Mantel von 007 übergestreift, und das Resultat ist ein dem Tode trotzender, Sportwagen fahrender, weibliche Rücken liebkosender und Cocktail-Rezepte präzisierender Triumph“, lobte The Guardian Daniel Craig in seiner Rolle.

Craig erhielt im Januar 2007 als erster 007-Darsteller bei den British Academy Film Awards für seine Rolle in Casino Royale eine Nominierung in der Kategorie Bester Hauptdarsteller.

Anse Chastanet, St. Lucia

This shallow reef in St. Lucia's marine park has more than 150 different fish species and is a favorite for photographers and popular with both snorkelers and SCUBA divers. The shallow waters make it a good spot for beginner divers as well. The reef is just offshore the resort of the same name and can be dived right from the beach – no dive boat needed!

Cenotes, Mexican Caribbean

Likely the product of an ancient meteor strike, cenotes are deep sinkholes formed when the roofs of limestone caverns collapsed and filled with water. Dotting the Yucatan Peninsula of the Mexican Caribbean coast, cenotes have intricate cave systems and underground tunnels, making them a magnet for daring (and expert) divers who are also drawn by the super-clear turquoise waters and stalagmites and stalactites formed from limestone over millions of years.

Utila, the smallest of Honduras’ Bay Islands, can provide some of the best underwater animal encounters in the Caribbean — the area is frequented by whale sharks, the gentle giants of the Caribbean waters. Plus, the region's warm waters, pristine reefs, and ample tropical fish make it a great dive destination. Utila is at the south end of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System, the second largest coral reef in the world after Australia's Great Barrier Reef.

Moliniere Underwater Sculpture Park, Grenada

A functional piece of art, Jason DeCaires' Underwater Sculpture Park is not only a visual treat for divers but also serves as an artificial reef. The 50 life-size sculptures were submerged in a protected marine area off Grenada in 2006, and the installation is constantly being enhanced with new colors and patterns as new corals grow.

SS Stavronikita, Barbados

It was fire, not water, that did in the Greek freighter SS Stavronikita. The boat burned and drifted for three days in the early 1970s before being brought to Barbados, where it was eventually stripped and sunk as an artificial reef. Now the island's most famous wreck, the “stavro” is part of the Folkestone Underwater Park and hosts a forest of tube and rope sponges. The wreck sits upright in 120 feet of water, with its mast almost reaching the surface, making it a fun destination for snorkelers as well as SCUBA divers.

Stingray City, Grand Cayman

Just because Stingray City is the Cayman Islands most popular tourist attraction — and indeed one of the most famous sights in the Caribbean — doesn't lessen its appeal to divers A shallow dive over a sandy-bottomed bay will find you in the company of swarms of southern stingrays looking for a snack provided by dive operators and tour boats.

James Bond Wrecks, New Providence Island, Bahamas

© PADI

Not only did the makers of the James Bond movies have a thing for filming in the Caribbean, they also had a habit of sinking ships while they were in the islands. Divers in the Bahamas can explore two ships purpose-sunk for dramatic effect in the 007 films: the Vulcan Bomber, sunk for the movie Thunderball, and the Tears of Allah, used in Never Say Never Again.

Columbus Passage, Turks and Caicos

The deep Columbus Passage separating the Turks islands from the Caicos islands is a top spot for viewing humpback whales as they migrate to their Dominican breeding grounds during the winter. The passage also serves as a marine highway for migrating fish, rays, turtles, and dolphins. Divers are also drawn to the wreck of a British warship, caverns, and walls.

Klein Bonaire is within swimming distance of Bonaire and shares its big sister's reputation as the best overall destination for diving in the Caribbean. Lying in the protected marine park that encircles the islands, Klein Bonaire has calm waters and ideal dive conditions; you can also see a nursery where researchers are seeding and propagating coral.

UMA CONVERSA NECESSÁRIA NA ECONOMIA ATUAL

bom meus amores, agora é a hora da conversinha básica. não, não estamos fechando a hashtag, sem pânico, segue o fio.

não é de surpresa pra ninguém que a atividade da hashtag caiu absurdos. depois de pensar muito e conversar bastante decidimos por finalmente decretar a nossa comunidade como um nxn.

por conta disso, os personagens sem interação a mais de um mês (salvo exceções) levaram unfollow hoje durante o ac. ainda aceitaremos personagens novos se alguém desejar enviar a ficha.

mas mod, que que vai mudar então?

basicamente a mod ficou preguiçosa ! as contagens de seguidor ocorrerão uma vez a cada 15 dias (se houver alguma mudança nesse cronograma avisaremos pelo twitter) e os eventos e tasks serão esporádicos (contando com ajuda da criatividade de vocês sempre, se tiverem alguma ideia!).

o ac também deixará de existir (tudo bem que demos uma bela passada de pano nas últimas semanas, mas vocês finjam que não viram pelo orgulho da mod aqui), assim como a rolagem de dados para posts virais (que já não vem acontecendo a algum tempo, apenas tornando oficial).

somos completamente apaixonadas na comunidade que a gente criou, e isso só foi possível por conta de cada player que já passou por aqui. a gente tem muito orgulho de saber que passamos 4 meses sem nenhum tipo de conflito (que sabemos ser quase milagre com a situação atual da tag), um ambiente super inclusivo para todos os jogadores, além de personagens incríveis! só temos a agradecer cada um de vocês por tudo mesmo, por deixar o amor e o tempo de vocês para desenvolverem os bebes de vocês! ♥
