Mhm ~ Lots of tender & reflective moments between my girls during the Steppe's story💙💚
Between Sama rising above her past and Magnai both to redeem herself in the eyes of her people & become Khagan, to Arlessia getting enough courage to take the next natural step in their relationship-it's perfect.

I haven't burned the midnight oil without 'midnight wrestling' for so long, I forgot how it felt to work on my fic ~💙💚
That said, while unsure when I'll next summarize, as I go onto further parts I've yet to touch like the Ala Mhigo PT.2 the poses will likely reduce in number.

And with Arlessia proposing to Sama out in the open, that is the end of the Azim Steppe arc.
The next time will be Yanxia, which I have already showed off a decent chunk of screenshots for, but I hope you all have enjoyed this summary in part. I've enjoyed returning to make it.

What came next...will require no words aside from my own admission that this has been coming a long time, and the dialogue.

Taking her leave of the exhausting egos of the war-council, Sama would head out to gather her thoughts, which went back to her absent lover...though they'd be eased funnily enough by a large eruption of lightning.
Asking for privacy, she would stay there until Arlessia returned.

As for her characteristics in the narrative, you can see just from the body language I've developed in my head for her shows her...well, insanity.
Sama to begin with sees her as a helpful asset for her contribution to the liberation of Doma...if her battle-lust keeps her on-task.

Suffice it to say, the days I spent designing Ayaka the Oni-club was time I fondly recall. She's very fun to pose.
After looking at the lore of the Avagnar, I had quite a time ruminating on the prospect of what would happen if an Avagnar living in secret rose to lead the Adarkim.

As you can probably see from Sadu, this was around the time I first got penumbra & began trying YAB💙💚lmao
Anyways - post Naadam, Sama has had the thought to include the Adarkim in the planning since they are one of the largest tribes...and this is Ayaka's first introduction.

Garbed in (temporary) clothes of office foisted upon her by the Gharl, Sama is seen talking final preparations of the Xaela forces that will take part in the siege of Doma castle. Hien's plan is utterly unfinished, but she just wants to make sure her people are prepared.

The Xaela needed the time to get the majority of their houses in order, and for the wounded to be healed.
Arlessia is called away by Jacke & Oboro for the events of the Ninja Job quests, so the small-ish set that I had planned for after is shot from Sama's perspective as Khagan.

A good ending for the Naadam set as I envisioned it so long ago - but for the final notes of the Azim Steppe arc for Arlessia, some context.
From the moment the Scions, Domans & Xaela put the imperials to the sword upon the field of the Naadam & the next scene, a week has passed.

As she listens to the woman she loves address her people, Arlessia tries to rise...only to be stayed by Sama's smile.
"Leave them to us, my Darling. Besides, I doubt you want to hear about 'all his namedays come at once'...hm?"
Writ in Garlean blood, the Naadam is law once again.

As the warriors assembled turned to espy the approaching enemy in amusement as Sama continued her speech.
"They intrude upon our sacred day of war, even at this moment! HOW SHALL WE ANSWER HIS CALL FOR AID? Writ in the blood of these trespassers, show him the will of the Steppe!"

"Khans & Khatuns! Warriors of the Azim Steppe! Lord Hien, rightful prince of Doma, has come in search of an army to help liberate his homeland from the foul steel-men of the Garlean Empire! Look towards Reunion, and you'll smell the stink of their ceruleum before you see them!"

And with that, Sama Khagan rises to the exaltation of her people. Not only the Mol or the Oronir, but the Dotharl, Adarkim & many others.
And just in time too, cause coming from the direction of Doma is the hunting party led by Grynewaht. At this moment, Hien & Sama share a look.

With a flare of aether, Sama parted the soil beside Magnai, and from it's depths a newly remade Scale of the Father rose - newfound power thrumming within the stone relic.
"We have had our differences...but I believe inside you resides a genuine care for our people. Nurture it."

Wordlessly looking to the Oronir around him shakily, Magnai felt judgement for the first time since he succeeded his father.
"They still want for a leader...they still want for a Khan they trust. So lead them in the troubling times ahead. Lead them when we take back Doma."

Sama would then sit on her haunches before her long-estranged clanmate...and with a gentle hand raise his gaze to meet hers.
"And so it has been...but your own vanity & petty fears have always been your worst enemies, Son of Chanar. But look at your people. Look at them, Magnai."

Shocked at what she had done before his very eyes, Magnai watches the shards be absorbed by the sacred soil of the Naadam as he falls to his knees with a rasping gasp.
"I promised you that you would know defeat this day...and that you will be revealed as the charlatan you are..."
