Some of y'all are pissing me off. Covey names are two parts one based on a Ballad the other a color but they are still on name. Lucy Grey never goes by Lucy, she says to Lepidus Malmsey that Lucy is not her name, it's Lucy Grey. Lenore Dove isn't just Lenore she's Lenore DOVE. The only time anyone calls her Lenore is when Haymitch is trying to trick Snow. This goes for Tam Amber, Clerk Carmine, Maude Ivory, Bard Azure and Billy Taupe as well. If CORIOLANUS SNOW can say their names correctly So. Can. You.

The covey flock 🪶

Meet the Covey flock ✨🪿

Tam Amber, the gentle and quiet giant, is one of the least likely Canada geese to attack anyone. Alongside Barb Azure and her mate Emily, Tam Amber leads the flock south each migration season.

Maude Ivory, the youngest member with CC, has just discovered her honk and she makes sure everyone knows it! In contrast to Clerk Carmine who hasnt found his honk yet, is more irritable and annoyed than anyone else, a bit embarrassed even. He inst mute, just his peeps are not something he can be proud of yet.

Then there’s Billy Taupe CCs older brother and Mayfair. Mayfair joined the flock roughly a year ago just because she found interest in Billy and has been a constant source of trouble for Goosey Gray, Billy Tapes soon to be mate ever since — responsible for Goosey’s broken wing, leaving her behind to die and even managing to get in between her and Billy Taupe (which, in hindsight was for the best)

Billy Taupe on the other hand, ever reckless, frequently puts himself and the flock in danger. Tam Amber has grown frustrated with his antics, being challenged for leadership whenever Billy Taupe feels like it. Simply Grown annoyed of it that he completely avoids him by now. Fortunately for all of them, Covey sticks together, no matter what 🪿✨ …except u mayfair ur days are counted 🪿🦊

______________

Yes, Goosey Gray is still part of the covey, but she already had her artwork done with Coryo Duck ✨

"Another day, another migraine."

[ mixed bag starters ]

Zack crossed his arms, head cocking in concern. These migraines were getting more and more frequent. Had it been anyone else, Zack might've worried they were just wanting his attention.

"Was there a trigger to it this time?" He knew that he had memory issues and they were often accompanied by intense migraines, but he was more concerned about the ones that weren't associated with his mako-and-trauma-induced amnesia. At least the latter was getting better. "Do you want meds or tea?"

Almanara Castle, Historical Landmark in Tatrosa | Museum and Wedding Venue (NO CC)

The Almanara Castle (Also known as "Almanara Al-Tartos", or "Alcazar of Tartosa")

Almanara Castle, once part of the grand Qasr Al-Zayl al-Tartos, was the last refuge of Emir Jabar Al-Tartozi II before the fall of the Emirate of Tartosa in 1497. Spared after the siege, it later became a royal villa and was declared a cultural heritage site in 1876. Now a museum and wedding venue, Almanara offers a glimpse into Tartosa’s past with stunning coastal views.

Lesmana Enterprise led the restoration efforts after the 2021 Tartosa earthquake which damaged the castle, restoring it to its former glory.

The Last of its Kind in Tartosa

This picturesque castle was built in the late 14th century during the early years of the Tartosan Emirate rule by Al-Simhara sulanate engineers.

Its arabesque-moorish architecture is a reminder of a much more different, by-gone era of Tartosa's deep history.

Well Preserved, As if it was Built Yesterday

Our team of highly skilled engineers, historians, craftspeople, and archeologists ensures that the Almanara Castle retains its charm for centuries to come.

From intricate archway designs, geometric tileworks, centuries-old plasters, to water features that had worked for the past 600 years without the use of eletricity, we made sure visitors would experience Almanara Castle the way the Emirs of Tartosa and his royal court had experienced it centuries ago.

The Hall of Jenane

During the rule of Emir Hamid I (AD 1401-1429), Almanara Castle was repurposed as a private quarter of his daughter Amirah Jenane Al-Munr, who added more geometric tilework to the castle, adorned in her favorite azure and tosca colors to every edge of the estate.

In 1415, Amirah Jenane had her wedding in this very hall, where dignitaries from neighboring kingdoms like Kingdom of Windenburg, Grand Duchy of Champ-les-sims, and even norther simlandic kingdoms were invited to attend.

Today, the hall of Jenane becomes an exhibition hall that displays the collections of Amirah Jenane, where centuries-old potteries from different parts of the world can be seen, showing the Amirah's love for future generations who visits the castle.

Also, just like Amirah Jenane, you can experience becoming an Emirate royal by having your wedding in this hall too, by arranging the dates from the Museum's website.

The Emir's Exhibition

On the second floor of the main keep, you can find an exhibition of the Emir Jabar II's personal belongings such as weapons, books, and tapestries.

Pieces like the Emir's silver sword crafted by a Ravenwood master blacksmith, or the Emir's Gunpowder-powered broom crafted by a Glimmerbrook 15th century famed gunsmith-warlock is diplayed in this room.

The Azure Sanctum

In the castle's subterrane, is a breathtaking hall called the "Azure Sanctum", a hall with and endless arrangement of pillars and arches adorned in the finest lazuardi tiles and gemstones, with a fountain that had been running for centuries without the help of electricity.

According to historians' records, the Azure Sanctum used to be a place where the Royals would lounge during the hot Tartosan summer, as this room is proven to be -5 to -7 degrees celcius cooler than the air outside.

Now, the Azure sanctum serves as an exhibition hall for wall decorations and the famed "Scales of righteousness", a golden scale used widely in the Tartosan Emirate's Al-Simharan justice system in the medieval era.

Canon storyline: Azure Bluesea has always been told to stay away from humans. His father, the mermaid king, hates the surface dweller because they destroy the ocean. But one day, Azure met Aiden Reeves while he was diving in the most dangerous depths of the ocean. Mesmerized by Azure's blue scales, Aiden come back day after day just to get another glimpse at Azure, sometimes placing gifts from the surface world in places only Azure will find. Amused by the friendly diver, Azure finally talked to him. Aiden is a little silly, but Azure found out that human isn't that bad. After they become friends, Azure decided to drop her princess title & decides to live amongst the humans. She have the whole surface world to explore! Starting with no money, Aiden offered her to stay in his houseboat in the meantime. And they were roommates... for now.

the day clerk carmine and tam amber became parents

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii so the urges of evil were successful and won out and forced me to write a one shot of maude ivory dying in childbirth. sorry to all. here it is.

*✴︎+ headed for heaven, the sweet old hereafter on ao3

“Come on now, you’re gonna make it. You’ll make it,” Clerk Carmine was squeezing Maude Ivory’s hand so tight it was turning as white as the mountain mint flowers outside. Tam Amber had been at her side most of the morning while Clerk Carmine had gone to fetch the midwife, but now that he was back, he seemed hell bent on never letting go of her.

As the midwife hurried outside to the water pump to wet a towel, Tam Amber sank into a chair next to Clerk Carmine, putting his hand on top of theirs.

“Maude Ivory, it’s okay,” he said gently. “Just breathe, alright? We’re here for you.”

“Where-,” Maude Ivory looked around feverishly, tear stains painting silvery tracks on her pink cheeks and eyes filled up with pain. “-where’s Barb Azure?? Where is she-”

“She ain’t here, honey,” Tam Amber said. He looked up as soon as he heard the sound of the door creaking open, but it was just the midwife, rushing over with the wet rags. He looked back at Maude Ivory, barely able to face her with the truth. “She’s gone, remember?”

“Wh-at? Gone-” Maude Ivory could barely get the words out, squeezing her face and scrunching it up with a sudden contraction.

“Up north, honey-”

He was cut off by her scream as Maude Ivory’s body was completely overcome with pain, rattling on the couch like she was possessed by somethin’, somethin’ livin’ and breathing. And in a way, she was, of course. A baby was on the way.

The midwife pat Maude Ivory’s face up and down with the rags, while CC looked like he was doing his best not to faint. Tam Amber had never really been present for the birth of a child before, but there was so much blood- there was no way this was normal. But what did he know, really? Maude Ivory was a fighter. Maybe-

“Maude, I’m gonna need-” the midwife started.

“Maude Ivory,” Clerk Carmine and Tam Amber both said in unison. It was petty, maybe, to correct her on something like a name, but this was an important moment, a crucial, ever-existing moment, and Maude Ivory deserved the proper respect due to her.

The midwife looked at them, stressed and clearly a little annoyed, but she nodded. “Maude Ivory, I’m gonna need you to push. Can you do that for me?”

Maude Ivory had lost all the blood in her cheeks now, and her white blonde curls were frizzing up all over the place, sweaty and wild. She looked so scared and overwhelmed and Tam Amber couldn’t help but think of the sweet baby girl who’d tailed after him everywhere when they were younger, traipsing around, asking curiously about everything he made and wanting to learn every detail about each one of his tools.

She was trying so hard, he could tell. The whole situation was so terrifying, the floor so damn bloody. Tam Amber felt the world spinning round and round and it just wouldn’t stop.

“I’m sorry, I need-” he said, trying to get the words out as he stood up, aware that his throat was all closed up. “I gotta get air- CC- I’ll be a second.”

He stumbled up, making his way to the door, squeezing his eyes shut for a moment when her crying started up again. It was all too much.

Pressing the door shut, he stood on the porch, trembling. Even with his eyes closed, he could feel the cheery morning sunshine right on his face, could sense how beautiful today was gonna be. It all felt so wrong, so contrary to the pain inside the house.

Maude Ivory. The youngest in the family, and the light that had led their way the last 30-somethin’ years.

Tam Amber could remember the very day he first started teaching her piano, and although it was never his first choice of instrument, she picked it up faster than a lightning strike in the middle of June. He’d be tryin’ to teach her some chord progression or other, and wouldn’t even be able to on account of her chatting his ears off with the details on every little bit of her morning and her friends at school and the bugs she saw today and whatnot. And then he’d say, “Maude Ivory, if you don’t quit your yappin’, you won’t learn a single note!” and then she’d say, “Oh, you’re about to eat your words and swallow ‘em up real good, Tam Amber, ‘cuz look what I can do” and then she’d play the chords just as perfect as can be. Her brain was fast like that. He always thought she was a sort of genius.

When she told them she’d gotten knocked up by one of the Chance boys, it was just her and him and Clerk Carmine left at the house. Billy Taupe dead, Lucy Gray gone, and Barb Azure had fled north with her girl a couple of years ago. CC panicked, saying they had no idea how to raise a kid and how on earth were they gonna handle another mouth to feed and every other worry under the sun, but Maude Ivory had calmed him down, helped him to see the wonder and sweetness of the situation. A kid meant the Covey wouldn’t die with them. A kid meant that maybe, just maybe, their songs could live on.

Then she started getting sick. At first they all thought it was just the normal kind that comes from being with child, but when she started regularly coughing up blood and suffering from fainting spells, they started to worry. At one point, it had got so bad that they’d gone to fetch the town doctor, paid a pretty penny just to hear him say Maude Ivory was in a dangerous stage of her pregnancy and things like this often happened, it was just the risk of the thing. Almost every morning, when he’d take his walks through the Meadow and pass the tree Barb Azure liked to sit under to read, Tam Amber thought and hoped that she would mysteriously come back. That she’d somehow reappear on their front porch with her bags in one hand and a cure-all potion of some kind in the other and take care of them all just like she used to do when they were younger. Some days he felt sure that if she hadn’t left, Maude Ivory somehow would have been just fine. But he knew that was foolish thinkin’.

Another round of cries rattling through the open window, the loudest and longest yet, ripped up his reverie and Tam Amber opened his eyes. A breath, a wish for Maude Ivory, and he turned to face the terrible wonderful things inside the house.

Clerk Carmine was still clinging to one of Maude Ivory’s hands, but her other one was reaching up to accept the bundle of patched up blankets the midwife was handing to her. Tam Amber faintly registered the sound of a baby crying. The pureness of the moment, a moment as old as the earth itself, was in severe contrast to the hopeless amounts of blood everywhere.

He made his way to her side, next to CC.

“It’s here,” Clerk Carmine breathed, seemingly so overwhelmed he didn’t even know how to react.

“She,” said the midwife. “A baby girl.”

A baby girl. Their very own baby girl.

“Told you it’d be,” Maude Ivory said very faintly, stroking her little nose and forehead with a soft and mesmerized finger. “I told you.”

“You did,” Tam Amber said, choking with the way his words were mingled up with tears.

“We’ll have to think up a name, something good-” CC started.

“Her name’s already thought up. I decided it months and months ago,” Maude Ivory said. Her voice was firm but oh, did it sound frail.

CC’s mouth fell open a little and he looked at the baby with wide eyes. “Well, what is it?”

“Lenore.. Dove. ‘Lenore’ for my raven song of course-”

“Of course,” Tam Amber said, trying to blink away his tears. Maude Ivory had always loved that song, the mystery in it, the ambiguous nature of the words. Rarely did she sing it, but she was known to hum its tune on many a winter’s night. Got stuck in her head when it would start to snow, she’d say, no clue why. Tam Amber thought it was a little similar to Lucy Gray’s ballad, and always wondered if that might have been the reason she liked it so much.

“-and dove color. ‘Cuz you know those are my favorite birds,” she whispered. Clerk Carmine nodded, squeezing her hand.

“Yeah. We know,” he said.

“Take real good care of her for me, will you?” Maude Ivory said, looking up at them. “She’s a special one, I can tell.”

“No, Maude Ivory,” Clerk Carmine said quickly, tears streaming down his face like a river. “Don’t talk that way, it’s gonna be okay. You’re gonna take care of her yourself, you can’t think- you can’t go-”

“You can’t stop me, CC,” Maude Ivory said, lifting up a pale hand to brush his cheek with her finger. “None of y’all can, okay? So you just gotta let me go, now.”

Tam Amber wiped his nose on his sleeve, getting on his knees next to her bedside. He knew he was crying plenty too, but he could barely notice it for how important and horrible this moment was.

“We’re gonna take the best care of her, Maude Ivory,” he said softly. “She ain’t gonna want for nothing.”

“Then I’m happier than a mockingjay in music class,” she whispered, moving her hand from Clerk Carmine to tug one of Tam Amber’s curls like she used to do when she was small.

“Don’t, Maude Ivory,” Clerk Carmine was pleading, rubbing her hand over and over with both of his. “Please, don’t you go.”

Maude Ivory kissed the top of Lenore Dove’s head and then laid her head back, resting it against the pillow with her baby rested against her chest.

“I love you two,” she whispered, and they could barely hear her, but Tam Amber knew what she was saying. “You keep an eye out for Lucy Gray, okay?”.

Maude Ivory had always believed there was a day Lucy Gray would come back, that she’d dance into their yard alive and well, laughing with a sound like bells and bring the charm back into their lives. Maude Ivory didn’t know that she herself had since brought that charm, carried the torch Lucy Gray had left burnin’ for her.

“We will,” Tam Amber promised, hands on top of both of theirs again. It was just the three of them, like always. They had been the last ones for so long.

Maude Ivory nodded, and fluttered her eyes closed like she was about to nod off for a nap in the Meadow.

And then there was a stillness like they’d never known before.

Tam Amber never knew you could tell the exact moment somebody left you just by feelin’ it.

He swallowed and closed his eyes, hand still covering Clerk Carmine’s and Maude Ivory’s.

“You’re headed for heaven….the sweet ole’ hereafter-” he whispered.

“Don’t-” Clerk Carmine begged, and Tam Amber really did understand. Singin’ it meant she was really gone. Tam Amber just shook his head at him a tiny bit, and Clerk Carmine let out a sob and buried his face in Tam Amber’s shoulder.

“And I got one foot in the door,

But before I can fly up,

I’ve loose ends to tie up,

Right here in the ole’ therebefore.”

They’d see her again someday. Tam Amber was almost positive of it. And in the meantime, they’d raise up baby Lenore Dove, tell her all about her mama, and her relatives, and Lucy Gray and Barb Azure and all the Covey that had come before her. They would show her the past, and she would be their darling, beloved, beautiful future. He was certain of it.
