ADRIANNA

“ I t is with great pleasure and relief that I can declare to the kingdom that the threats that have plagued our lands are gone. Clementine is gone. Councilman Orenda is gone. Professor Landon Fairbourne is gone. I’m sure we will face trials and tribulations in the future, but it gives me great delight to say this is behind us.

This is our time to find the strength inside of us, to come together as a community and face the future together. It must also be known that I didn’t have the pleasure of claiming this victory for us. That honor falls to my sister, Nora Reagan, who is now the fae representative among my council. Her resilience and dedication, despite her fears, are what bring us here today.

In light of this information, we will be recommencing our tour of the kingdom in the coming days after some much-needed rest. We will begin in Summer Oak again to see the progress that has been made.

Happily ever afters are a thing of legend, but once upon a time, I was a small girl, unaware of the dangers that lurked in our kingdom, but the hope in my heart and the desire for freedom for all persevered. So here’s to a day where we can make legends a reality.

Here’s to a kingdom thriving, a community strong, a combined love among origins, and a dedication to a brighter future for all. I want to be here for every step of it. The journey to get here wasn’t easy; the best things in life never are, but it has taught me to love with my whole heart, lead with my gut, feed my soul, and cherish the things in life that make me happy.

To the Floodborn Kingdom, today is a day history will never forget. Today is when our chapter begins, where our story changes, and where the heroes prevail. May we stay strong, remain fierce, and forever be resilient.”
