Hallucinogenics by Matt Maeson feat. Lana Del Ray

(Self explanatory; the verses about Seattle, "crawl back to the life that I said I wouldn't live in," and "find yourself a man who's [...] Christian" really hit. I like the version with Lana Del Ray a lot but I fell in love with Matt Maeson's original when it played on The Spectrum radio)

14: A song that you would love played at your wedding

jordan by Joy Oladokun (the ex christian themes aside as they're a bag of worms I won't get into but are also why I love this song; the whole "building our own promised land" and "now I've found love there's no turning back"?? That's just the chorus?? The vibes I want at my secular wedding)

15: A song that is a cover by another artist

Smells Like Teen Spirit by Saint Mesa (I like this one better than Nirvana's original and I do like the original)

16: One of your favorite classical songs

Waltz of the Flowers by Pyotr Illyich Tchaikovsky (from the Nutcracker but also the Fantasia animation was excellent and imprinted on my imagination forever)

Lemons by Bri feat. Cavetown (I really like it, it's a song about an emotionally abusive relationship that just really slaps)

5AM by Amber Run ("We run into a dark room / And we spasm to the sounds / of a copy of Morrissey / or the Blues of the Deep South" anyone?)

Brian is the Most Beautiful by Memo Boy (I like atmospheric deep house type songs ya know)

Laika by Wil Wagner (about the titular character, Laika, the first dog in space; it's

... an experience. You'll need tissues for this one)

24: A song by a band you wish were still together

Losing my Religion by R.E.M. (I was going to put MCR but they recently got back together?? So R.E.M.)

Recommended Text for Meditation:

Liber AL vel Legis sub figura CCXX, Cap. 3

The Book of the Law Liber AL vel Legis sub figura CCXX

as delivered by XCIII = 418 to DCLXVI

III

1. Abrahadabra; the reward of Ra Hoor Khut.

2. There is division hither homeward; there is a word not known. Spelling is defunct; all is not aught. Beware! Hold! Raise the spell of Ra-Hoor-Khuit!

3. Now let it be first understood that I am a god of War and of Vengeance. I shall deal hardly with them.

4. Choose ye an island!

5. Fortify it!

6. Dung it about with enginery of war!

7. I will give you a war-engine.

8. With it ye shall smite the peoples; and none shall stand before you.

9. Lurk! Withdraw! Upon them! this is the Law of the Battle of Conquest: thus shall my worship be about my secret house.

10. Get the stele of revealing itself; set it in thy secret temple -- and that temple is already aright disposed -- & it shall be your Kiblah for ever. It shall not fade, but miraculous colour shall come back to it day after day. Close it in locked glass for a proof to the world.

11. This shall be your only proof. I forbid argument. Conquer! That is enough. I will make easy to you the abstruction from the ill-ordered house in the Victorious City. Thou shalt thyself convey it with worship, o prophet, though thou likest it not. Thou shalt have danger & trouble. Ra-Hoor-Khu is with thee. Worship me with fire & blood; worship me with swords & with spears. Let the woman be girt with a sword before me: let blood flow to my name. Trample down the Heathen; be upon them, o warrior, I will give you of their flesh to eat!

12. Sacrifice cattle, little and big: after a child.

13. But not now.

14. Ye shall see that hour, o blessed Beast, and thou the Scarlet Concubine of his desire!

15. Ye shall be sad thereof.

16. Deem not too eagerly to catch the promises; fear not to undergo the curses. Ye, even ye, know not this meaning all.

17. Fear not at all; fear neither men nor Fates, nor gods, nor anything. Money fear not, nor laughter of the folk folly, nor any other power in heaven or upon the earth or under the earth. Nu is your refuge as Hadit your light; and I am the strength, force, vigour, of your arms.

18. Mercy let be off; damn them who pity! Kill and torture; spare not; be upon them!

19. That stele they shall call the Abomination of Desolation; count well its name, & it shall be to you as 718.

20. Why? Because of the fall of Because, that he is not there again.

21. Set up my image in the East: thou shalt buy thee an image which I will show thee, especial, not unlike the one thou knowest. And it shall be suddenly easy for thee to do this.

22. The other images group around me to support me: let all be worshipped, for they shall cluster to exalt me. I am the visible object of worship; the others are secret; for the Beast & his Bride are they: and for the winners of the Ordeal x. What is this? Thou shalt know.

23. For perfume mix meal & honey & thick leavings of red wine: then oil of Abramelin and olive oil, and afterward soften & smooth down with rich fresh blood.

24. The best blood is of the moon, monthly: then the fresh blood of a child, or dropping from the host of heaven: then of enemies; then of the priest or of the worshippers: last of some beast, no matter what.

25. This burn: of this make cakes & eat unto me. This hath also another use; let it be laid before me, and kept thick with perfumes of your orison: it shall become full of beetles as it were and creeping things sacred unto me.

26. These slay, naming your enemies; & they shall fall before you.

27. Also these shall breed lust & power of lust in you at the eating thereof.

28. Also ye shall be strong in war.

29. Moreover, be they long kept, it is better; for they swell with my force. All before me.

30. My altar is of open brass work: burn thereon in silver or gold!

31. There cometh a rich man from the West who shall pour his gold upon thee.

32. From gold forge steel!

33. Be ready to fly or to smite!

34. But your holy place shall be untouched throughout the centuries: though with fire and sword it be burnt down & shattered, yet an invisible house there standeth, and shall stand until the fall of the Great Equinox; when Hrumachis shall arise and the double-wanded one assume my throne and place. Another prophet shall arise, and bring fresh fever from the skies; another woman shall awakethe lust & worship of the Snake; another soul of God and beast shall mingle in the globed priest; another sacrifice shall stain the tomb; another king shall reign; and blessing no longer be poured To the Hawk-headed mystical Lord!

35. The half of the word of Heru-ra-ha, called Hoor-pa-kraat and Ra-Hoor-Khut.

36. Then said the prophet unto the God:

37. I adore thee in the song -- I am the Lord of Thebes, and I The inspired forth-speaker of Mentu; For me unveils the veiled sky, The self-slain Ankh-af-na-khonsu Whose words are truth. I invoke, I greet Thy presence, O Ra-Hoor-Khuit!

Unity uttermost showed! I adore the might of Thy breath, Supreme and terrible God, Who makest the gods and death To tremble before Thee: -- I, I adore thee!

Appear on the throne of Ra! Open the ways of the Khu! Lighten the ways of the Ka! The ways of the Khabs run through To stir me or still me! Aum! let it fill me!

38. So that thy light is in me; & its red flame is as a sword in my hand to push thy order. There is a secret door that I shall make to establish thy way in all the quarters, (these are the adorations, as thou hast written), as it is said:

The light is mine; its rays consume Me: I have made a secret door Into the House of Ra and Tum, Of Khephra and of Ahathoor. I am thy Theban, O Mentu, The prophet Ankh-af-na-khonsu!

By Bes-na-Maut my breast I beat; By wise Ta-Nech I weave my spell. Show thy star-splendour, O Nuit! Bid me within thine House to dwell, O winged snake of light, Hadit! Abide with me, Ra-Hoor-Khuit!

39. All this and a book to say how thou didst come hither and a reproduction of this ink and paper for ever -- for in it is the word secret & not only in the English -- and thy comment upon this the Book of the Law shall be printed beautifully in red ink and black upon beautiful paper made by hand; and to each man and woman that thou meetest, were it but to dine or to drink at them, it is the Law to give. Then they shall chance to abide in this bliss or no; it is no odds. Do this quickly!

40. But the work of the comment? That is easy; and Hadit burning in thy heart shall make swift and secure thy pen.

41. Establish at thy Kaaba a clerk-house: all must be done well and with business way.

42. The ordeals thou shalt oversee thyself, save only the blind ones. Refuse none, but thou shalt know & destroy the traitors. I am Ra-Hoor-Khuit; and I am powerful to protect my servant. Success is thy proof: argue not; convert not; talk not over much! Them that seek to entrap thee, to overthrow thee, them attack without pity or quarter; & destroy them utterly. Swift as a trodden serpent turn and strike! Be thou yet deadlier than he! Drag down their souls to awful torment: laugh at their fear: spit upon them!

43. Let the Scarlet Woman beware! If pity and compassion and tenderness visit her heart; if she leave my work to toy with old sweetnesses; then shall my vengeance be known. I will slay me her child: I will alienate her heart: I will cast her out from men: as a shrinking and despised harlot shall she crawl through dusk wet streets, and die cold and an-hungered.

44. But let her raise herself in pride! Let her follow me in my way! Let her work the work of wickedness! Let her kill her heart! Let her be loud and adulterous! Let her be covered with jewels, and rich garments, and let her be shameless before all men!

45. Then will I lift her to pinnacles of power: then will I breed from her a child mightier than all the kings of the earth. I will fill her with joy: with my force shall she see & strike at the worship of Nu: she shall achieve Hadit.

46. I am the warrior Lord of the Forties: the Eighties cower before me, & are abased. I will bring you to victory & joy: I will be at your arms in battle & ye shall delight to slay. Success is your proof; courage is your armour; go on, go on, in my strength; & ye shall turn not back for any!

47. This book shall be translated into all tongues: but always with the original in the writing of the Beast; for in the chance shape of the letters and their position to one another: in these are mysteries that no Beast shall divine. Let him not seek to try: but one cometh after him, whence I say not, who shall discover the Key of it all. Then this line drawn is a key: then this circle squared in its failure is a key also. And Abrahadabra. It shall be his child & that strangely. Let him not seek after this; for thereby alone can he fall from it.

48. Now this mystery of the letters is done, and I want to go on to the holier place.

49. I am in a secret fourfold word, the blasphemy against all gods of men.

50. Curse them! Curse them! Curse them!

51. With my Hawk's head I peck at the eyes of Jesus as he hangs upon the cross.

52. I flap my wings in the face of Mohammed & blind him.

53. With my claws I tear out the flesh of the Indian and the Buddhist, Mongol and Din.

54. Bahlasti! Ompehda! I spit on your crapulous creeds.

55. Let Mary inviolate be torn upon wheels: for her sake let all chaste women be utterly despised among you!

56. Also for beauty's sake and love's!

57. Despise also all cowards; professional soldiers who dare not fight, but play; all fools despise!

58. But the keen and the proud, the royal and the lofty; ye are brothers!

59. As brothers fight ye!

60. There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt.

61. There is an end of the word of the God enthroned in Ra's seat, lightening the girders of the soul.

62. To Me do ye reverence! to me come ye through tribulation of ordeal, which is bliss.

63. The fool readeth this Book of the Law, and its comment; & he understandeth it not.

64. Let him come through the first ordeal, & it will be to him as silver.

65. Through the second, gold.

66. Through the third, stones of precious water.

67. Through the fourth, ultimate sparks of the intimate fire.

68. Yet to all it shall seem beautiful. Its enemies who say not so, are mere liars.

69. There is success.

70. I am the Hawk-Headed Lord of Silence & of Strength; my nemyss shrouds the night-blue sky.

71. Hail! ye twin warriors about the pillars of the world! for your time is nigh at hand.

72. I am the Lord of the Double Wand of Power; the wand of the Force of Coph Nia--but my left hand is empty, for I have crushed an Universe; & nought remains.

73. Paste the sheets from right to left and from top to bottom: then behold!

74. There is a splendour in my name hidden and glorious, as the sun of midnight is ever the son.

75. The ending of the words is the Word Abrahadabra.

The Book of the Law is Written

and Concealed.

Aum. Ha.

Love is the law, love under will.

Codex entry: Saga of Tyrdda Bright-Axe, Avvar-Mother

First stanza:

Tell the tale of Tyrdda Bright-Axe, mountain maker, spirit's bride: Free, her people, forged in fastness, made in mountains, hardy hide. Wise in wisdom, calm in counsel, great in gifts her grateful guests, Sacrificed she did to spirits, took their teachings, followed quests. Bright her axe, unbreaking crystal, stirred to flame when temper flies, Gifted from her leaf-eared lover, laughing lady of the skies. Bested blades of all who tried, Maiden, spurning all requests, Tyrdda Bright-Axe, Dreamer's Eyes. Avvar-Mother, of her making.

Second stanza: Thelm Gold-Handed, fingers greasy, jeweled rings with glitter shone, Took in tribes in times of trouble, fed them fat to weaken bone. Warriors great and great in number, sun-kissed swords to fight his wars, Drake-scaled shirts their bodies covered, heart-wine stained the salty shores. Told his tribes a tale of treasure, over sea to north it gleamed, Whispered words to drive the droves to golden city where he dreamed. Counseled quick in dreams alone, Voices wiser man ignores, Pushed the tribes until they screamed, Heed the dreams and cross the Waking. Third stanza: Honey-tongued was Thelm to Tyrdda, gifts of gold and steel to start, Wanted Tyrdda's men for warriors, stolen tribe from stolen heart. Cold, her tribe, the Gold-Hand counseled, lean from winter's wind-knife chill, "Be my bride and cross the Waking, eat the gilded city's fill." Tyrdda Bright-Axe, fraught with fury, crystal axe-head stirred to blaze, Heeded well her leaf-eared lover, unabashed by lustful gaze. "None shall break my tribe apart, Not with demon-words that kill, Fear my fury's fiery rays, Dream-words lie, their thirst unslaking." Fourth stanza: Tyrdda Bright-Axe, Thelm Gold-Handed, battle brought with blade and ax, Thelm in mail and shields of silver, shining sheen to turn attacks. Blade of dragonbone now blooded, warrior throats wrung raw with cheers, Tyrdda stands, her bright ax blazing, leg still weeping battle-tears. Bright the ax of leaf-eared lover, laughing lady of the skies, Fire flares as Thelm Gold-Handed, honey-tongued, repeats his lies. "North to warmth, and golden cities, Whispers speak in Dreamers' ears!" Silver scorched, the liar flies On ravens' beaks, to dream unwaking. Fifth stanza: Tyrdda Bright-Axe, bold and bloodied, took her tribe from placid plains, Tribes with blades by farming blunted chased and fought, their parting pains. To the mountains, shorn of shelter, snow-slicked peaks gave wind its bite, Found a cave to save her tribe, but dragonfire lit the night. Beast no blade could break came roaring, mountains slipped their winter gown, Tyrdda shouts to leaf-eared lover, "You I chose above a crown!" Lightning split the spitting rains, Sundered over prideful heights, Dragon fell in rubble down, Crashed and crushed in earth's mad shaking. Sixth stanza: Tyrdda Bright-Axe, proud her tribe, free from fallow fat below, Built in battle, fed on fighting, strong from struggle did they grow. Deep in caves, the stone-men tribe, Hendir's warriors, stout and strong, Met the tribe with axes ready, armor gleaming, sword-blades long. Spoke with Tyrdda did her lover, gentle whispers soft she made, Dwarven hearts were sundered, simple, still with honor. Thus she bade: "Let the tribe the dwarf-men know, In their caves, where they belong, Not with battle but with trade, Hendir's dwarves, give peace unbreaking." Seventh stanza: Tyrdda Bright-Axe, Dwarf-Friend Chieftain, with her leaf-eared lover lay, Woke she did to love-sweat morning, lover gone in light of day. Dream-words whispered, spoken soft, still the silence crushed and crashing, Dead her tribe, unless a child could keep her line in warrior fashion. Aval'var, so named the lover, called "our journey, yours and mine," One day child of Tyrdda's blood, Morrighan'nan, in strength must shine. Lover's whispers to obey, Hendir, dwarf-prince, friend in passion, Babe produced to serve the line, The Avvar tribe, her name, our taking. Eighth stanza: Tyrdda Bright-Axe, Avvar Chieftain, strong her tribe with dwarven trade, Battles brought to men and demons, won with wisdom, fire, and blade. Then did Tyrdda look to Hendir, dwarf-prince friend, children-giver, Took her freedom, Hendir glad, wished her what he could not give her. Chose her child to stand as chieftain, after all last wrongs were righted, Gifted goods of worldly want, left her tribe no more benighted. Skyward, one last trek she made, To her lover, dream-delivered, Raven-feathered, reunited, Hearts both whole, now neither aching.

ok this is both queued bc i’m at work rn and totally just lifted directly from my app but your girls been a busy bean recently ok. hopefully this helps give a lil more insight into this nugget!!

❝ everything we ever were was alight with gold. / and when they asked us what love was we answered, / soft and bright, darling. / soft and bright. ❞ Lysander Scamander, Keiynan Lonsdale, Sixteen, Sixth Year, Ravenclaw, Demiboy, Half-Blood, He/Him

family/home life.

- I dare you to tell me that Luna and Rolf were anything other than the most loving and kind parents you have ever met. Because they are, and life with the Scamander’s is nothing short of Lysander’s paradise. It’s the most loving tight knit family you could possibly dream of

- While his childhood was maybe odd at times, Lysander has never had to wonder what it’s like to be alone or unwanted, what it’s like to have to hide yourself, what it’s like not to have your best friends as your parents. Because while occasionally quirky, Luna has lived a life of the utmost acceptance and openness and along with Rolf she made sure to foster that kind of environment for her children. The twins were supported and even encouraged to explore their interests and passions freely and to unapologetically be the most true versions of themselves

- I’m sure if you asked Lysander to paint his childhood a colour, then it would no doubt be yellow. The scamander home (the lovegoods old tower on the hill, since rebuilt) always had a sense of vibrancy to it, a sense of excitement – it was never a dull moment growing up in the Scamander household (or castle as he would call it in his early years). If he wasn’t running around the house chasing wrackspurts with Lorcan or finger painting a new masterpiece with Luna, then he was out marching through the grassy backyard on some epic quest to find a new undiscovered magical creature with Rolf. The world was just endlessly exciting, every new day a new opportunity and a new adventure.

- And what’s better than having a twin to share adventures with? the twins were basically attached at the hip growing up. Where there was one twin inevitably the other was stumbling through the door right after. Lysander never had to get used to the feeling of being alone because he never was, really. It was always his mom or his dad or his twin or some combination of the three. In his mind a twin is a guaranteed friend, really. A partner to face the world with. I think this is part of what really fostered his love and appreciation for the friendships he would make later in life, he was taught early on to value that kind of support and companionship. Thrived with it even.

- True free spirits, Luna and Rolf never shied from showing their children what the wide world had to offer – they were magizoologists, after all. Before both sons were obligated to begin their studies at hogwarts the family did a fair amount of travelling to all corners of the world, meeting all manner of people and creatures. Lysander had the opportunity to really witness the beauty of the world first hand.

- I can imagine things were never really serious in the Scamander house. I think Luna and Rolf taught their sons serious lessons of course – things like tolerance, and humility, and generosity – but never in an overly serious way if that makes sense. Lessons were delivered with smiles and laughter and fun; always a lighthearted and gentle atmosphere. His parents were definitely believers in the concept of “you get more flies with honey than with vinegar” concept; gentle encouragement over strict reprimands.

- That’s the thing I most associate with the family home honestly: warmth. A relaxed, fun, happy place free of judgement and expectations. And that’s something that’s really stuck with Lysander even as he grows older now. Home is something to be cherished above all else, a place that will always accept you and people that will always love you. He misses his parents desperately when he’s away at school and always makes sure to write them as frequently as possible (and doesn’t even mind when his mom sends him weird packages back)

- That’s not to say his childhood wasn’t without its quirks though, things that were normal to Lysander because he didn’t know any different but no doubt confused others outside the family. Weird family traditions or habits - things like making sure you had your butter beer corks to ward away the nargles before you left the house. The home is probably constantly in a cluttered state, things everywhere with no rhyme or reason but which Luna insists are exactly where they were need to be. Why was there a sneaker tied to the chandelier? Nobody knows and nobody bothers to ask anymore. The walls are adorned with murals and the style of decor surely doesn’t match, changing from room to room in a kaleidoscope of colour and pattern. Trinkets and little souvenirs from all over the world have crept their way onto every surface and space. While it probably looks like a hippies art studio exploded all over it tbh, the home positively oozes comfort and familiarity and positivity.

personality

- Lysander is honestly a direct reflection of the environment he grew up in – open, honest, and with a heart that’s just bursting at the seams it’s so full of love. It’s not hard to tell he’s his mother's son. He’s oddly intuitive, always seeming to be in tune with the emotional mood of the room – though sometimes he doesn’t pick up on other more obvious cues. It’s rare to find someone who can say they’re truly happy with who they are but Lysander wouldn’t even blink before agreeing

- While others maybe would have gotten sick of their mom’s “weird quirks” or outgrown such a positive (and some may call naïve) outlook on life, Lysander’s still nothing but fond of her and his eyes have never lost that youthful sparkle. Looking on the bright side and keeping a little imagination in your life is just makes experiences so much more enjoyable in his opinion

- He never fails to find the joy in the little things and turn around a bad situation and honestly he’s just a sweet ray of sunshine okay

- if you’re ever having a super bad day or just need someone to sit and listen Lysander’s your guy – he’s always ready to be there to support a friend and offer a kind smile. That’s his main goal in life honestly – to leave every place and everyone a little better, a little happier, then he found them

- he’s a true romantic at heart ngl like he’s all over the grand gestures and gooey relationships no matter how unrealistic it may be. he just loves love and everything it relates to. He could get his heart broken over and over and would still be enamoured with the concept of true love

- He’s a very creative person and this definitely reflects in his style - it’s daring and bold and maybe even a little out there at times. Don’t be surprised to see him rocking the bottlecork earrings with pride or have his hair a fun new colour every week

- on the flip side though, he can tend towards being unrealistic at times – looking at the world through rose coloured glasses. He’s not exactly the grounded and practical type and while it can be good to look on the bright side, sometimes it’s just not feasible. 100% a heart over head kind of person which can get him into trouble

- He’s also a little too trusting at times, wants so badly to give the benefit of the doubt and focus on the good in people that it ends in him being taken advantage of. He’ll give and he’ll give and he’ll give until there’s just nothing left for himself which can leave him emotionally drained if he’s not careful

- As a whole he just relies on his emotions too much – for better or for worse. It’s not that he can’t think of a more logical path of reasoning (and I mean he is a ravenclaw) it’s just that he tends to get carried away. So while he greatly loves, he can also greatly hate haha – the boy knows how to hold a grudge.

- That doesn’t mean he’s a total pushover though – quite the opposite. He has a pretty strong moral compass and inner resilience that he’s not willing to compromise on. Like sure, on little things it’s often pretty easy to get him to cave; he just wants to see you happy. But when it comes to his convictions? Nope. You can bet your ass if he sees you bullying someone he’s about to storm over and pull out some witty and terrifying smack down that you didn’t even see coming. Which I think is an important hidden part of him – he kind of has this secret hidden badass within him. He’s not some naïve happy go lucky little idiot, his positivity and his demeanor is a choice. He chooses how to interact with the world and sure in this case it’s in a gentle and friendly way but don’t you dare think that makes him weak.

- I guess what I’m trying to convey is he’s not a fluffy little weak head in the clouds marshmallow, he’s smart and strong and gentle and kind all at the same time. Just because someone approaches the world in a position of love and positivity doesn’t mean they necessarily timid or naïve.

- I think very much like Luna he has a hidden intelligence to him and is actually someone who’s quite sharp. It just tends to get lost under all the other stuff unless you really look for it. You don’t tend to think that the one with stars in their eyes could have so many gears turning underneath. In subjects he’s interested in he actually excels greatly and is very capable. In courses he doesn’t like or doesn’t feel inspired by? ...not so much

-How he labels and presents himself has never really been something Lysander has cared much about, honestly. His views on such abstract concepts as sexuality and gender and where he falls in that spectrum are very loose and if he had the choice it would never even need to be addressed. But he’d kissed a cute Gryffindor boy for the first time in fourth year, closely followed by a sweet Hufflepuff girl a few weeks later and apparently that confused people. He pierced his ears and wore glitter eyeliner and painted his nails and suddenly people were asking him why. Why? He just believes in just being the truest form of himself, he would tell them time and time again, whatever that happens to be on that day. Believes in expressing himself however that may look. Why does he have to be one thing or the other? He’s going to dress and act however he wants to and love whoever he wants to with reckless abandon. Love is love to him. It’s to be shared and celebrated in all it’s different forms. There’s been labels he’s felt some semblance of kinship with in the passing years - panexual, genderqueer, polyamerous - but even those never really felt right and even a little restrictive. The only thing Lysander wants to be is himself.

+ Positive, compassionate, friendly, gentle, intuitive, creative, honest, supportive, accepting, loyal, witty, curious, approachable, imaginative, kind, adventurous, genuine

The Saga of Tyrdda Bright-Axe

Thelm Gold-Handed, fingers greasy, jeweled rings with glitter shone, Took in tribes in times of trouble, fed them fat to weaken bone. Warriors great and great in number, sun-kissed swords to fight his wars, Drake-scaled shirts their bodies covered, heart-wine stained the salty shores. Told his tribes a tale of treasure, over sea to north it gleamed, Whispered words to drive the droves to golden city where he dreamed. Counseled quick in dreams alone, Voices wiser man ignores, Pushed the tribes until they screamed, Heed the dreams and cross the Waking.

Honey-tongued was Thelm to Tyrdda, gifts of gold and steel to start, Wanted Tyrdda's men for warriors, stolen tribe from stolen heart. Cold, her tribe, the Gold-Hand counseled, lean from winter's wind-knife chill, "Be my bride and cross the Waking, eat the gilded city's fill." Tyrdda Bright-Axe, fraught with fury, crystal axe-head stirred to blaze, Heeded well her leaf-eared lover, unabashed by lustful gaze. "None shall break my tribe apart, Not with demon-words that kill, Fear my fury's fiery rays, Dream-words lie, their thirst unslaking."

Tyrdda Bright-Axe, Thelm Gold-Handed, battle brought with blade and ax, Thelm in mail and shields of silver, shining sheen to turn attacks. Blade of dragonbone, now blooded, warrior throats wrung raw with cheers, Tyrdda stands, her bright ax blazing, leg still weeping battle-tears. Bright the ax of leaf-eared lover, laughing lady of the skies, Fire flares as Thelm Gold-Handed, honey-tongued, repeats his lies. "North to warmth, and golden cities, Whispers speak in Dreamers' ears!" Silver scorched, the liar flies On ravens' beaks, to dream unwaking.

Tyrdda Bright-Axe, bold and bloodied, took her tribe from placid plains, Tribes with blades by farming blunted chased and fought, their parting pains. To the mountains, shorn of shelter, snow-slicked peaks gave wind its bite, Found a cave to save her tribe, but dragonfire lit the night. Beast no blade could break came roaring, mountains slipped their winter gown, Tyrdda shouts to leaf-eared lover, "You I chose above a crown!" Lightning split the spitting rains, Sundered over prideful heights, Dragon fell in rubble down, Crashed and crushed in earth's mad shaking.

Tyrdda Bright-Axe, proud her tribe, free from fallow fat below, Built in battle, fed on fighting, strong from struggle did they grow. Deep in caves, the stone-men tribe, Hendir's warriors, stout and strong, Met the tribe with axes ready, armor gleaming, sword-blades long. Spoke with Tyrdda did her lover, gentle whispers soft she made, Dwarven hearts were sundered, simple, still with honor. Thus she bade: "Let the tribe the dwarf-men know, In their caves, where they belong, Not with battle but with trade, Hendir's dwarves, give peace unbreaking."

Tyrdda Bright-Axe, Dwarf-Friend Chieftain, with her leaf-eared lover lay, Woke she did to love-sweat morning, lover gone in light of day. Dream-words whispered, spoken soft, still the silence crushed and crashing, Dead her tribe, unless a child could keep her line in warrior fashion. Aval'var, so named the lover, called "our journey, yours and mine," One day child of Tyrdda's blood, Morrighan'nan, in strength must shine. Lover's whispers to obey, Hendir, dwarf-prince, friend in passion, Babe produced to serve the line, The Avvar tribe, her name, our taking.

Tyrdda Bright-Axe, Avvar Chieftain, strong her tribe with dwarven trade, Battles brought to men and demons, won with wisdom, fire, and blade. Then did Tyrdda look to Hendir, dwarf-prince friend, children-giver, Took her freedom, Hendir glad, wished her what he could not give her. Chose her child to stand as chieftain, after all last wrongs were righted, Gifted goods of worldly want, left her tribe no more benighted. Skyward, one last trek she made, To her lover, dream-delivered, Raven-feathered, reunited, Hearts both whole, now neither aching.

#dragon age #tyrdda bright axe #I'm sorry I know this is game lore but it reads so well #A BETTER LOVE STORY THAN TWILIGHT

“…cannot give you your proper rites,” comes a distant voice from down the path before them, and Arthur slows on instinct, drawing his glintstone staff back to his side, waiting for his companion’s description.

“There’s a man,” he begins, which he had assumed. “A knight, I think. Clad in gold armor and a red cloak that seem to have been taken care of much better than those of the other knights we’ve run into.” (“But at least you did not join those…”) “He’s holding something to his chest with one hand, and the other is on the hilt of a sword that’s nearly as tall as he is. Something is… strange about it, like it’s not one solid piece of metal.” (“…who live in death…”)“He hasn’t noticed us yet. He’s looking down at something…” (“…your soul will return to the Erdtree, in time.”) “…Oh. It’s a body. Someone who’s been cut down by some kind of slashing weapon. Not his sword, the cuts are too shallow. Something smaller, nimbler.”

Arthur recognizes the words, and the tone, he slips into next. It’s a common prayer, more of a formality than anything. A reflex for the faithful like saying bless you when someone sneezes. “Honeyed rays of gold, deliver this spirit.”

He’s been very slowly making his way closer, and now he judges it close enough to call out and greet him, now that he seems to be done speaking. “Trouble on the road?”

The acoustics of his voice shift as he, presumably, looks up at him. “Hail, traveler. If you’re aiming to cross to Caelid, then heed my warning, and find another route. The village here has been touched by death. And, worse yet, it is home to a mariner. If you value your life, then go no further.”

“We’ve been aiming for the Third Church, actually.” Maybe he can get directions. “I think I may have gotten a bit turned around, though. Don’t suppose you know if I’m going the right way?”

There’s a thoughtful pause, during which time his companion speaks up again.

“Arthur, his armor…” there’s a note of fascination to his voice. “I was wrong earlier, it’s not just gold. It’s both gold and silver intertwined, styled as though two completely different sets have been melded together. The thing he’s holding to his chest—I think it’s a head, sculpted into the breastplate, that he’s cradling. There are a set of arms, too, one silver and one gold, to match his gauntlets—like twin figures are embracing. It’s almost more of a work of art than a suit of armor. His sword is the same, that’s why it looked so strange. As if two greatswords have been braided together.“

Another moment passes before the knight speaks. “Well, the Third Church is roughly that way,” (“He’s pointing—south, I think”) “but it’s a bit of a climb, and I don’t know that there’s an easy way down from where we are now. There used to be another church through this village, on the Caelid border—the Church of the Maiden, if memory serves—but when the rot took it, the Redmanes tried to burn it out, and, well. It’s been little more than a shelter for vagabonds and Tarnished-hunters ever since.”

“That’s a shame,” he says, because it seems like the correct response.

“Aye, it seems like more and more are going the same way, these days. Like what happened to Callu. I don’t suppose you’re coming up from there?” Not entirely sure what he means, he just shakes his head. “Ah. Well, anyway. The Third Church has good people, though. I’m sure you’ll find what you’re looking for there.”

“I… certainly hope so. Though not anytime soon, I suppose,” he huffs a sigh, resigned, “since it sounds like you just told me I’ll have to turn around.”

“Unless you want to take your chances with the cliffs. Though… the slope does get much easier on the other side of the village, I think.”

“The village you just warned me not to go near.”

“Well, if you’re headed for the church, circling all the way back to the other road is going to be quite a walk. Seems a shame to make you go all that way.” He audibly hesitates for a moment, inhales. “If you go around the tree line to the north, you should be able to avoid drawing too much notice. I can accompany you, just in case one or two of the dead have wandered too far.”

“Oh, I don’t want to impose–”

“You’re not, really. I need to observe things inside a bit more before I make my move, anyway. We may as well walk together.”

He’s instinctively suspicious, but the knight seems… genuinely friendly. And given that his companion hasn’t noted any southward turnoffs from the road anytime recently, he’s likely not kidding about it being quite a walk to take the other route. “Well. If you’re sure, I suppose I’m in no spot to refuse you.”

His companion speaks up in time with the sound of footsteps in grass. “He’s walking away. He’s lifted his sword up and hefted it onto his shoulder, where it’s ready to swing down at the first sign of a threat. He handles it easily, as if it doesn’t weigh ten pounds. I don’t know about this, Arthur. I don’t think we can trust him.”

“What? Why not?”

“I don’t know, but–“

A distant voice interrupts. “Changed your mind?”

“No! Sorry, just—uh, yes, coming.” As he starts to walk in the direction of the footsteps, he continues, more quietly, “Look, it’s not as if we’re letting him lead us to some remote location, or anything. It’ll be short, and then we’ll be parting ways again. Okay?”

“I still think we should turn around.”

“Well, you’re not the one who has to walk all that way. I would rather take my chances here than backtrack.”

He sighs in response, but falls silent as they catch up, recognizing that Arthur can’t chance much conversation this close to another person.

The quiet is allowed to rest, for a moment, as they walk. If the knight notices the way he allows his glintstone staff to trail just ahead of him, testing the ground, he doesn’t find it odd enough to comment on. Arthur can feel the cool of the trees around them, but the sounds of the forest are few and far between. To the left is the familiar rush of the ocean, identifiable even echoing from a distance. There’s a much nearer and gentler lap of water to his right, in the direction that the road would have taken them, had they followed it. Accompanying it is… a low noise, a single wavering note, as of, perhaps, some sort of horn.

“This isn’t much of a forest,” his companion begins to narrate. “The cliff edges aren’t far left, and in the other direction, the village is still in view. It’s certainly seen better days. It’s lying in a slight depression in the earth, in a few inches of muddy water, as if rain has pooled around it. The buildings are stone, and all of them seem to be slowly collapsing and sinking into the mire. I can see some movement within. Things that look human, but… aren’t.” He wants to ask what he means by that, or how he can tell, but he’s also aware of the potential eavesdropper walking just ahead of him. “Sometimes, when we pass a break in the trees and buildings just right, I can see… something glowing, at the village center. But never for long enough to make out what it is. It casts an eerie violet light on everything around it.”

He hums, enough of a noise to tell his companion that he’s absorbed the information.

“I don’t think I’ve introduced myself yet,” the knight breaks the silence. “I’m known as D. I hunt Those Who Live in Death, and weed their deathroot. There’s an ill omen hanging over this village, and I’ve come to cleanse it.”

“Hence why you’re… observing it, I take it. I’m, ah, Arthur. Arthur Lester. Not much of anything besides a traveler, at the moment.” He still doesn’t see much point in lying about his name. The likelihood of anyone here knowing him is very low. “How long has it been…” gestures towards the general direction of the village, hoping he makes it look natural. “Like this?”

“Well, depends what you mean by like this, I suppose. The village has laid abandoned for some time, but only recently did that mariner show up to claim its territory.”

“That’s the second time he’s said that. Mariner. I don’t think he’s talking about a normal sailor,” his companion muses.

And Arthur’s also curious at the way he says it, as if it’s some monstrosity that needs no introduction, so he himself speaks up. “The… mariner.”

“Ancient grave keepers, touched by deathroot. Once upon a time, they would have been the guides and gatekeepers for the dead. Now, they can only spread their sickness and keep others from their rightful return to the roots.” A note of scorn—disgust, maybe—enters his voice.

“Rightful return,” he repeats, a little derisive, before he can stop himself. “Seems a bit hypocritical, considering the state of us Tarnished.”

D snorts. “That’s hardly the same. You and I still have our souls—proof of that, we’re standing here talking to each other. Those who live in death are soulless beings, with no minds left to them. Cursed to wander, dragging the living down to share in their fate. Like what nearly happened to the poor bastard back there.” (“He’s gesturing back towards where we came. At the dead body, probably.”) “Mark me. They’re naught but vermin to be exterminated. Their mere existence sullies the sanctity of the Golden Order.”

“I thought the aim of the Order’s laws was to explain the workings of the world,” he points out dryly. “Seems a bit of a cop-out to just—deem something outside their principles.”

“Arthur, what are you doing,” his companion hisses behind his eyes, “stop provoking him. He clearly cares about this, and he’s got a huge fucking sword.” Which is a fair point. He really should shut up.

But instead of getting angry, the knight just chuckles. “You don’t hold your tongue, do you? You sound just like an old friend of mine. Bet you two would get along quite well. Well, you may be right. Truth be told, I’m no scholar. All I know is, when something of yours goes rotten, you’ve got a responsibility to cut it out. And the spread of deathroot is as rotten as they come.”

“…I’m sorry,” now he’s feeling a little regret for snapping. “I don’t mean to… deny your beliefs, or anything, I simply… spoke without thinking. And I’m hardly in a place to talk; this isn’t even a subject I’m familiar with.”

“For your own sake, I hope it stays that way. Those who live in death should be left well alone. Unless you mean to hunt them, and that… is not a path to be trod lightly.” His tongue clicks softly. “Though I sense you’re not the type who can simply let things go, eh? My friend was the same way. Had it in his head that there was some deeper plot at work, was determined to get to the bottom of it.” The footsteps in grass slow to a halt, and Arthur slows with them. “You said you were a traveler? If you ever encounter a sorcerer by the name of Rogier, you let him know that D tells him to take care of himself.”

He recognizes the emotion in D’s voice. Genuine concern under a layer of forced casual calm. The voice of someone worried for his friend, but with very little space to direct that worry. It’s so very familiar, pulls at something in the back of his mind, and he finds his heart aches. So, equally genuine, he says, “I’ll be sure to pass it on, if I get the chance.”

His companion speaks up. “We’ve broken the tree line, and I think I can see the gentler way down he was referring to. We might be in the clear.”

Nodding to himself, he adds, “Thank you for taking me this far, really. Best of luck with your, ah… hunt.”

“Much appreciated. Best of luck with wherever your travels take you, after the church.”

He’s expecting that to be their parting words, and starts off down the grassy slope himself—but D calls something back to him, over his shoulder, that makes him stop.

“I’m sorry about your eyes, by the way.”

“My—eyes?” He turns around.

“I hope the people at the church can give you some relief. Seems an awful way to go, is all.”

With that, before Arthur can think of any way to stop him, his footsteps turn away back towards the village, leaving him behind to wonder at his meaning.

The new mind welcomes them in easily. His memories catch like paper, burning down to golden embers in a matter of moments. Smoke chokes out his thoughts, and it seems for a moment as though he, like all the other despairing souls they have brought to roost over the centuries, would simply become one with the flame. No more to divide or distinguish. May chaos take the—

—hmm?

There is a memory here that does not come alight at the merest touch. Its paper-thin edges are damp, somehow, and the heat of the flames cannot seem to dry them. Rather, when they reach out, their own edges sizzle and pop, and they are forced to recoil.

No matter. Some things are difficult to relinquish, they understand; still, they will aid this ailing soul. They gather themselves, reach forward again—and are… stopped. As though snagged by the back of the collective collar.

The mind is resisting.

Not this one, comes a low whisper from the darkness beyond the embers of memory. The rest of them, you can have. Burn them all away, do what you will. But I cannot give this one up.

The embers of frenzy do not understand. Cannot understand. This memory is etched deep, yes, but it is painful. The flame offers simple and beautiful release. Why would he resist? Why will he not let them take this pain away?

That would be taking the easy way out.

Of course. Is that not what he wants? To let go? For things to be easy? They know the outlines of this mind, the defeat that consumes it. It is a mind that welcomed the flames to make their home inside. He called to them. On the edge of life and death he sang to them, and they came for him. Now he would turn them away?

No. No. He called to them; he is theirs now. They will not abide hesitation. They move to gather their strength again.

The hands that had caught them intensify. Gather them up and pull them back, heedless of the flames.

I said, he hisses, no.

They struggle, now, confused and afraid and at war with their own internality. They cannot be conflicted. They are as one. And yet, and yet—

Yes, it hurts! Of course it damn well hurts! If it didn’t, I wouldn’t care what you did with it! Now he is incensed, voice growing hot to meet their measure. You’ve already gone and burned the rest, haven’t you!

But not this. His voice softens. They know this tone, soaked in sorrow and guilt. Usually it catches quick as oil. But now, once again, their flame is stifled, as if tossing water on the pyre. I’m the only one left who remembers this. I might be the only one left who remembers her at all, at this point. If I let go… no. No. I will carry this with me as long as I live, and I will not let you take it.

Now.

Get the fuck out of my head.

He pushes them down. Things solidify around them. Sights and sounds that they cannot make sense of in the scarce few moments before—his hands break the surface of the water and they are being smothered.

They are in a basin and the water is all around them and they cannot evaporate it quicker than it eats away at them. They kick and writhe and snap and crackle and still they drown.

Under the hissing sounds of their dying flames, they think, for a moment, they hear the faint notes of a piano. And then they hear nothing at all.

—

With the scraping of metal against rock, the body stirs.

“Ah,” purrs a low voice, “hello, friend. I was starting to get concerned when you—“

“What the fuck,” the other man gasps, as if he hadn’t even spoken. He lurches to a sitting position and his hands fly up to his face. The source of the metal scraping becomes immediately clear. “What—the fuck, why is it so fucking hot in here–“

“Slow down a moment, you—“

“Fucking get it off!” His hands scrabble at the edges of the iron mask encasing his head. It was clearly not made to be easily removed. “Too—fucking hot. Fuck. Off.”

“Stop that!” the other voice snaps, the remainder of the soothing hum draining out of it entirely. “You’re going to break your neck if you keep that up—“

“Then stop talking and fucking help me!” He’s gasping for breath, and starting to sway in a concerning manner. "I can't– I–"

“There’s a knife!” Finally, he says something that gets him to actually stop and listen. Slightly calmer, he continues, “There’s a knife next to your left hand. You should be able to use it to pry the mask off. Other left. No—for fuck’s sake be careful, try not to stab yourself—“

“You do it, if you’re so concerned,” he mutters, too focused on the task to even think about the retort much. Finally he manages to find the seam that holds the mask together, and gasps again, this time in relief, as it clatters to the ground in two pieces.

The interior of the mask is warped, as if from extreme heat. The other voice decides not to point this out.

“Fuck, that’s better. Okay. Give me a second.” He lies back down on the ground, enjoying the chill of the stone. “Wh… hah. Right. Perhaps we ought to… start over? …Friend?”

“Oh, so you did hear me the first time.”

“Yes. I was just—a bit preoccupied thinking I was going to suffocate in—whatever the hell that was, on my face. So. Sorry.”

“It looks like a prisoner’s mask,” he offers. “Why you’re wearing it, I’m not entirely sure, since this doesn’t look like a prison.”

“Yes, where are we, anyhow?” He blinks at the wall, debating the benefits of trying to get up. “And—who are you? And… how can you see our surroundings when I can’t?”

“I… don’t know.”

“Ah. Which… which question are you answering, there?”

There’s a pause, and then a resigned sigh. “…All of them.”

#the nemesis speaks #swift writes #mv liveblog #mv er #i was not. expecting to write more of this. it just kinda Happened #this is mostly just kicking shit around and trying to figure out a natural way to use game npc dialogue #experimence. setup. nothing super exciting.#arthur's joining the war on zombies on the side of the zombies (not really he's just feeling argumentative)#passing on gurranq's questline mostly just cause he's got too much other shit going on #and also because i MAY want someone else to take that questline... hmmm hmm...#darian going ''dang that dude's succumbing to the flame of frenzy. oh well. not gonna ruin my day''#i think early stage frenzy is sometimes regarded more with pity than anything #especially since it's still theoretically possible to turn it around at that point #i am partially fudging this for the au bc i want arthur to be able to have normal conversations with GO followers lmao #but also very few people ever give a shit about your eyes changing even when going the full frenzied flame ending soo...
