Talia took a 20+ Year Undercover mission a while ago

So! Talia is the Daughter of Ra's Al Ghul, and has been alive and at his side for many years now. Decades even. She is well into her 100's, even though her physical Body looks like that of a 20 yr old.

And in all the years that she has lived, what's to say she didn't take a few years off as a vacation? Even Ra's must take a few years off every once in a while, leaving to spend time on some remote island he can relax on for once. So, one day in the Early 80's she decided to do the same.

But she wouldn't be completely relaxing, she would take the break to further the League's goals still. She decided to Dye her Hair, change her Name, get into an acceptable College, and study Lazarus Waters to their scientific limit. She decided to name if Ectoplasm, to avoid any unwanted attention.

And while there, she met a pair of men doing the exact same.

Jack and Vladimir were nice enough. Although their Research was more focused on Ghosts, or as she would call them, Pit Demons. They were convinced that Ectoplasm and Ghosts came from another Dimension, and if they could find a way to open a Dimension Gateway to this theoretical Ghost Zone, they could aquire Limitless Clean Energy (and maybe find a way to contain the Ghostly threat).

Over the years, Talia Maddie would fall for Jack. Eventually, even after she had completed her College Studies and Vlad had left contact with them, she decided to extend her Vacation to further study Ectoplasm with Jack. One thing led to another, and eventually she found herself pregnant. And then it happened again.

Jazzmine and Daniel were the cutest little babies. But she knew the danger they would be in if it was ever discovered that she was their Mother, so she trained them in everything she could so they could survive. She knew her time as Maddie Fenton was coming short, but she resolved to stay, at the very least until Jazz was an Adult.

She didn't account for Daniel becoming a Small Town Hero, but those were just the Trials of motherhood.

Then, the day came. She left a note on her bedside table explaining that she regretted what had to happen, and left in the middle of the night. It was better this way.

...

The year right after she returned, her Father forced her to have a Child with his most prospective Heir. The Bat, he called himself. Oh he was Charming, there was no denying that, but unfortunately she was still working through her feelings about Jack.

She treated her resulting child poorly because of that, and that she regreted it deeply. She loved him, honestly she did, but it was hard to look at him and not remember Daniel. Still, she persevered.

The day she once again had to give up her son for his protection was the hardest of her life.

But it was unavoidable. The Coup that had taken her Father's life had also fractured the Organization, anyone could have taken their shot at her Son as the rightful Heir. She needed to protect him as she took care of the Traitors.

...

Damian always knew he was the One True Heir. It was his defining character trait for his early years of life. Even though he had grown to be more than just that over recent years, he always felt like it was a key part of his identity.

Until now.

Because the BatComputer had just finished running a DNA Test on the Blood of a man who he had spotted on his Patrol the previous night.

A DNA Test that had come back, with results claiming that the man, who looked almost exactly like a younger male version of his Mother, was his Half Brother.

CHAPTER ONE ; 1/3

TRANSCRIPT:

[sounds of swords clashing and rowdy cheering]

geordie: Your highness, apologies for the intrusion, but her majesty has asked me to remind you of the time.

killian: [panting] The time? And what exactly is the time?

g: Half past noon.

k: So she wished to inform me of my tardiness. Thank you, Geordie. I will be with you shortly.

---

k: Am I the only late one?

g: I am afraid so. Even the princess arrived promptly.

k: Drat. Dara will never let me live it down. The one time I lose track of the hour…

g: No matter, your highness. Soon you will be Knight Captain and have plenty of excuses for tardiness.

k: I sincerely hope not. I am perfectly satisfied with my rank.

---

luca: There you are, at last.

k: Apologies, apologies. What did I miss?

I love that Aemond claimed Vhagar. Not only did he have every right to do so, as well as the courage, nerve, and determination to approach Vhagar how and when he did... I also love that nobody expected Aemond to be so daring as to find and approach Vhagar at the first opportunity.

In hindsight, they should have known. He'd snuck into the dragonpit several times before this and had almost been killed attempting to find his own dragon.

It's no wonder that when he heard Vhagar calling out as the sun set on Driftmark he went out to find her.

All of this is especially more likely when considering his motivations: all of his siblings and nephews, all but Aegon younger than him, had already become dragonriders, something Aegon and the Strong boys loved to make fun of him for.

The bullying by his brother and nephews was one motivation. Another was that as Alicent's second son, his father paid him little attention. But maybe if he could finally claim a dragon - the biggest and oldest dragon, at that, the same dragon his father's father claimed - he could prove his worth to everyone in his family.

Instead, upon claiming Vhagar, he was immediately ambushed by his nephews and cousins. As he defended himself against four attackers, his nephew pulled a blade and sliced through his eye.

That boy's mother demanded Aemond be tortured for saying something during the fight that everyone knew to be true, and Aemond's father turned on him in favor of her.

That boy was never once reprimanded for what he did to Aemond - nor were his accomplices - and the only ones who seemed to care at all about his suffering and permanent disfigurement were his mother and siblings.

Is it any surprise after this that he embraced his dragon's warrior legacy and trained to become the ultimate fighter? He saw how vulnerable he and his family truly were, how their well-being mattered so little to the rest of the family, and he did all in his power to become the kind of man who could protect them and who would never be overtaken in combat again.

Out of curiosity, how long did it take you guys to beat isat?

I ask because I've heard that the playtime is around 30 hours but........

I feel like that's severly underestimating my dedicaction to dilly-dallying

[cakemoney]

when my depression gets bad my life somehow manages to generate comedy on its own. for example, i accidentally ordered twice as many grapes as i intended when i got groceries delivered this week, so i've been plagued by grapes for days, constantly eating them to try to get through them before they get mushy. it is simply so many grapes. i am eating from a huge bowl of grapes right now. and at the same time, i watch the party in fantasy high: sophomore year spend their day in kei lumennara,

Art Fight Day 10! I meant to do more art than just this today since it was mostly done yesterday, but I decided to take today as a sort of rest day since my chronic illnesses decided to act up today. Tomorrow I don't plan on having more than like 1 piece again because I have plans, but this weekend I plan on doing a lot of art!
