![]() In fact, the entire island was already inhabited by many Valean mages due to its natural enchanted properties. Not that Patch was a terrible place to live. After the horrors that befell mage-kind during the aftermath of the great war, almost all of the mages that survived and were banished to Patch were very scared and worried about their future. Just gotta say bye to dad and make sure we’ve got everything packed.” She said reassuringly, turning to leave the room and joining her own mother in the kitchen. Yang couldn’t help but chuckle at Ruby’s exuberance. “I can’t wait!” She practically cheered, swapping her gaze from her mother to her sister. Ruby smiled up at her mom, one of the big toothy grins that she was known for. “And how’s my little angel feeling? All excited for your first time out of Patch?” She clasped her hands together in excitement for Ruby’s first expedition. “I’ll be right out, sweetie!” Summer called after her before turning her attention back down to the newest arrival. ![]() She knew that underneath all that tough exterior, Raven really did care for the two young mages in the house and that she just had a funny way of showing it. Summer softly giggled at her partner's attitude. “If anyone needs me, I’ll be making dinner.” She said as she dragged herself into the kitchen. It was apparent that she wasn’t getting anywhere, so Raven shook her head as she turned to leave the room. Yang laughed and sent a slight smirk to Raven, who had frozen up mid-argument at Ruby’s appearance. “The cookies are packed, and I’m ready to leave!” Ruby announced grandly, plopping herself down onto the nearby sofa. “At least promise me you’re not going to take any cookies with you, you know how Ruby gets-” Raven began to at least attempt to regain control of the situation until Ruby herself entered the room hauling a large gym bag over her shoulder. Raven rolled her eyes, always thinking that Summer was being too soft on their kids and yet secretly wishing that they looked up to her the same way. You can eat whatever your heart desires." She continued, reaching out and ruffling Yang's hair as she did so. I’m sure they can handle their own meals." Summer chimed in a soft voice, lightly chastising her wife for being just a little too overprotective. Yang sighed, having already heard this spiel dozens of times already. Her sugar diet's finally going well for once!" A low, almost authoritative voice said to her daughter, gently lecturing her to maintain her and her sister’s current eating habits for when they were out of the house. "-and you girls better be eating healthily! I don't want Ruby falling off the wagon. It may not have looked like much, probably because it wasn't, but to the Rose - Xiao-Long family, it was home. In the middle of a sparse forest, nestled away in a small corner of Patch, stood a simple albeit large cabin of wood and stone. Eventually, the peace deal was signed, and any remaining mages still living within Vale’s borders were sent away to Patch to live out the rest of their lives in solitude. With the mages separated from the mainland, Vale had promised Vacuo that they would never again have an unfair advantage in combat. They had at least promised to banish their more magically inclined citizens to a small Island off of Vale's coast, Patch. Vale did what it could to protect its famed mages, but at the end of the day, the peace they had been striving for was finally well within their grasp, which meant there was little room for compromise. Vacuo accused the mystical people of swaying the tide of the war in Vale's favour, as well as being abominations that deserved to be put down. The effects of the so-called great war were many and varied, with one of the largest being the wholesale execution or banishment of any practitioners of magic or sorcery. ![]() But as with all great things, the peace wasn't to last, and a deadly conflict between the desert nation of Vacuo and the more temperate nation of Vale brought about the end of an era. The five kingdoms scattered across its surface were, at the very least, amenable to one another. Once upon a time, the world of Remnant was a peaceful one.
