"I see that you are back as well. How soon can I expect you to start chipping away at my sanity?"

"And wherever it was the Dark mage went, his star was sure to follow~. That said, you needn't concern yourself Viren. Afterall, how can one deplete what doesn't exist to start~?"

[v1ren]

Stay tuned for some Viren news tomorrow, my dudes!! 👀

Thank you to everyone for all the asks filtering in too!! I see all of you! And tomorrow afternoon/evening, asks will be answered too!

Gathering at the Border

@v1ren

The border to Xadia was a sight Peccantum had never seen.

It was impressive, a wide river of molten stone that made it impossible for anyone to cross on foot. It moved slowly, and even from the banks, the startouch could feel the immense heat. He was disappointed, then, that he did not have time to admire it further. Peccantum turned from the slowly churning magma, to the forests of Xadia and began to walk to them.

He took out a stolen library book as he traveled deeper into the forest, opening it to a map where he'd marked his destination. There should be an old religious sunfire temple near here, his reason for coming in the first place. Tales of old magic gave him some hope there might be something he could find in the area. Something he could use.

Peccantum didn't watch his surroundings as he walked, engrossed in his map and thoughts. He could've walked into a ditch and not noticed.

A Dance of Circles (Closed RP with V1ren)

@v1ren

“Have you ever considered that you’re just a really bad wizard?”

‘Perhaps..... from time to time. Though, one never knows, an unexpected outcome needn’t be a negative.’

Oscar didn’t even have the vocabulary to express how much he wanted to punch the ancient being in his metaphorical face. An unexpected outcome. Yeah. That was one way to phrase it. Another way however was ‘so bad at being a wizard that a ‘simple scrying spell’ had LAUNCHED THEM INTO ANOTHER DIMENSION and now he was the one left hoofing it down the seventieth dirt road of their journey on the way to ‘The Kingdom of Katolis.’ 

It had been about a week since the exceptionally bad wizard’s spell had backfired on them and Oscar had found himself on the outskirts of some massive forest with no idea where he was. Everything had only gone downhill from there when the first town he’d managed to stumble upon was full of people who had absolutely no idea where or even WHAT such places as ‘Atlas, Mantle, or even REMNANT were and he was left looking like some delusional idiot when he understandably had himself a little freak out. 

And at first, Ozpin’s incessant positivity had been nice, reassuring even. The man had such a way of making things sound manageable, and upon his taking the forefront at the next town they’d happened upon, they’d learned (to the horrible wizard’s elation) that apparently magic WAS a thing that publicly existed in this world and apparently in the ‘Great Kingdom of Katolis’ there lived an Archmage, ‘best o’ the craft’ according to some man who Ozpin seemed to have decided to only listen to at face value rather than considering what was meant by the look of hushed disgust on the weathered face when it was spoken. Apparently the many-times-dead wizard in his head seemed to think that it was completely normal that they were searching for the help of someone who people spoke about in the same tone as one told a ghost story. Great.

Since then, their journey had consisted mostly of walking, stocking up on supplies, and Ozpin trying at every turn to make light of their situation much to Oscar’s growing ire. It wasn’t helping that even with Oscar trying to get a rise out of the magically challenged man in his head, Ozpin just wouldn’t rise to the bait, taking the insults in stride, going so far as to laugh about them as if they were sharing quips on this their fun little roadtrip across a country neither of them even knew the most basic thing about. It was aggravating to say the least. 

Oscar kept to his bad mood for the rest of the day, his apprehension coming back a little the next one as the spires of some distant castle came into view over the horizon, a sprawling city surrounding it with houses that looked like little more than toys next to its grand size. 

‘It seems we have arrived.’

“Yeah, great, now what? We find this....guy and what? Ask if he’s got a spare dimension portal laying around or something?”

‘As fun as that might be, I was thinking of taking a bit more of a subtle approach.’

“...................Meaning?”

Meaning the next day Oscar was approaching the stable-master about a job that would give him the access to be close enough to that giant edifice of bigness that Ozpin could sneak around and try to get at this archmage’s ‘notes’ without the living ghost story knowing about it. 

It just kept getting better.

[s0ren]

Soren...what do you call a man with a rubber toe?

“Um, uhh, wait I know this.....I.... ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, yeah I got nothing. Maybe Claudia knows?”

[harrow-king-of-katolis]

Thunderclap

It was done

 Harrow couldn’t believe it.

He hissed in pain nursing his broken hip as he stared up at the Dragon King’s massive body that was twisted in anguish during his final moments before he was turned into a statue. 

In his dreams, whenever he closed his eyes every night he dreamed about killing Thunder. Now his dream was finally realized and in front of him. 

He should feel something right?

Happy?

Elated?

That Thunder was dead? His wife finally gotten her justice? His long decade-old quest of vengeance had finally came true. This is what he wanted right?

His stomach twisted feeling a strange emptiness washing over him as he laid on the ground of lightly fallen snow. Like a part of his soul was ripped out of his chest that was filled with sorrow. 

It was a dreadful feeling something he thought the last thing he should feel after avenging his wife’s killer. 

Even so, driving a spear into Thunder’s heart what good did that do? Only providing him a moment of jubilation until the adrenaline wore off and only sending him back to a cold reality that Sarai was still dead.

It did not bring her back.

Harrow bowed his head low and shaking it blearily. He wanted to go home. He whistled for his horse trying yet failing to mount on. It was going to be a painful ride.

"Harrow do you...have a minute for some tea? I'd like to speak with you about something if-- if you have time, of course."

“As a King, I have to tell you I’ve only got around 45 seconds. As someone who does not wish to be a King today, lead the way and we’ll see how long we can get before they find us. This.... isn’t something I’m going to need to be a King for is it?”

[zephirite]

PFFFT THIS MIX OF HORROR and goofiness fits Claudia so well!

(Tw: blood)

Haunted house’s walls: *starts to bleed, revealing 666*

Claudia:

Heh nice

[tdpholidayexchange]

From @moonshadow-owl:  Hello @v1ren! I was your secret-santa this year and I heard you love modern aus  :)  I hope you’ll enjoy the gift, with Gren enjoying his hot chocolate made at the Brown Morning Potion Café! Pretty sure Soren works there too... hopefully you don't mind my poor human hand-drawing skills too

[aventisz]

There was this post about @v1ren telling @araavos a bad advice: to eat a whole jar of jalapenos to gain the ability to breathe fire... Idk I just wanted to doodle it XD

[ask-runaan-anything]

Can I have a summary or season 1 2 and 3 of the dragon prince?

I’ll give you summary of my story, though: I kissed my husband goodbye and took my ward into enemy territory to kill a king and his son in vengeance for crimes committed against Xadia. Her soft heart got my team killed, and my day went downhill from there.

I spent a while studying the dirt on the floor of my cell and trying not to feel my arm dying while my hunger strike kicked in. Then Viren showed up with bribes and threats. And my day went so far downhill that I might as well be in a tomb. I haven’t seen the light of day in three weeks.

If you want a brighter summary, maybe you should ask @v1ren or @ask-step-prince-callum. They’ve seen the sun today. Me, I put the shadow in Moonshadow.

[araavos]

Aaravos: I have the most splendid organs Me: ohh that is that why v1ren had a better time deepthroat the worm ?

"Oh, is that what you think~? I promise you, for as talented as Viren is with his lack of gag reflex, and as much as he enjoyed showing it off, were it a competition, one would know from his face alone which it is he prefers, is that not right, @v1ren ~?"

[peccantumaskrp]

“Your assumptions about me are very wrong. I understand the need for magic more than you could ever imagine. What I don’t understand is how a bonehead like you managed to get into magic in the first place! School, a tutor, dumb luck? I’d love to know.”

(From the getting to know your character ask list) 🎓, specifically in dark magic. A supposedly vile and forbidden magic doesn't seem like something that would be taught in basic education. -Peccantum

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the exact meme for this but--

“Perhaps because it is not as vile as you believe it to be. This is the magic we were forced to learn, and one that eventually found itself rooted in the world of humans. I wouldn’t expect someone from the Lands of Magic itself to understand our necessity for Dark Magic.”

[asking-the-danger-star]

I love asking you things Aaravos. But it seems its hard to find Viren when I want to.. Uh.. Discuss dark magic with him. Dont suppose you know anywhere he may be found on this site? (Searching desperately for viren ask blogs to torment when Im not fawning over this aaravos one xD)

“Oh, I might know a few places... Though I haven’t been in contact with him for a while, I still keep tabs fairly well~”

“You might try V1ren, or perhaps darkmagicdad? I believe one of those two locations is quite well-known. The other...I am less sure of.

“I will keep you posted if I locate or decide to divulge the whereabouts of any more~”

[ozcarpin]

⛅- what is your morning routine? {Oscar}

“Ehhh, you know. Waking up, hiding under the blankets for another hour cause its cold and no one else is up when I am anyway. Having a shower until I can feel my fingers again.... breakfast... and then, if there’s nothing else I need to do I’ll either do some training or go to the library. That’s pretty much just my day these days.”

[s0ren]

Illusion, Janai, & Xadia

Illusion - Do you ever hide your true self to be accepted?

“Me?! Do WHAT?! No! Course not! Its just allll Soren. Yeah. Gross stuff is cool.”

Janai - Do you feel you’re an effective leader?

“But, I’m not a leader. Just a Crownguard, doing Crownguard stuff. The best Crownguard, but I’m not telling the King how to do his King.... stuff.” 

Xadia - What’s the coolest place you’ve ever been to?

“Oh! Remember that time, when Clauds and I went with you and the King to some super important conference thing, and we got to stay at some other guys castle?! Their training rooms were SO WEIRD! There were like, baths EVERYWHERE and dudes just hanging out in them! Super chill. Super fun.”
