The Request

Finally, he was going to see his mate-sprite again. The only issue was getting to that ship and back out alive. His odds of completing such an insanely idiotic feat were worse than nothing especially alone. Which meant he was going to have to do the thing he hated doing the most and ask for help.

It was with that thought in mind that he found himself standing in front of Vlad's hive, a hand raised to announce himself. Pride, doubt, and fear held him frozen there for a minute, then 2. It would have likely been another 3 or 4 before he even made the choice to knock or not if not for the red that leaned over and knocked for him.

When he looked over his shoulder to find out who the hand was attached to it was somehow both surprising and completely expected to Lonque standing just behind him. How the larger-than-normal troll managed to sneak up on him without so much as a whisper Alacar didn't know or have time to think about. "Thanks.." He spoke hesitantly but Lonque simply nodded with a smile on his face that was simultaneously warm and smug.

The door opened before Alacar could decide whether or not to punch the troll in his face, even if it was unlikely that he'd land the hit to begin with. The familiar and unfamiliar face of Syhren greeted him with a cold glare. 'Hel-" The door was slammed violently in his face, so he waited patiently until he heard muffled talking from the other side of the door. If he wanted to he could have listened it but doing so to Vlad was one of the few lines he wouldn't cross. Shortly after the muffled conversation ended the door opened again to a slight bemused Vlad. "I was wondering why she was so agitated, she's still upset about her.... coalescence. Why don't you come in so we can chat." His eyes met with Lonque's and the silence stretched between them for a very long, very uncomfortable, amount of time before he finally continued with, "Your friend is also free to join us of course." Inside the hive of his Moirail Alacar felt a profound sense of comfort, as well as a mild sense of looming danger. As if the she-demon staring daggers at him was gearing up to slit his throat the moment he let his guard down. She likely would too if he wasn't so important to one of the only people that cared about her on this forsaken rock.

"Hello again Syhren." He said to her, his tone dripping with forced cordiality "Demon." she shot back with cold venom. "Now that's just hurtful, after everything I did for you?" "More like what you did TO me you-" "Syhren stop." Vlad cut in before the verbal combat between the 2 of them could escalate into something much worse. "Do not condemn him for my wants." Syhren glared at Alacar in the way that only someone that had experience death could glare but relented and sat down in a chair away from the group but still close enough to hear and contribute to the conversation if she felt the need to insult Alacar. At least that what he assumed she would do if she dained to interject. "So what brough you over today?" Alacar's mental villianization was brought to an abrupt end with Vlad's question and the hostillity he felt towards Syrhen instantly dissolved into dread. "I-" He swallowed, unable to keep eye contact with the man in front of him. " I need your help...." "With?" "I found them.... I finally found Calmet but I can't get them without help." "I see." Because he wasn't looking at Vlad he could see the exact moment Syrhen decided to add her two cents, rather explosively as well. "Fuck. You. We shouldn't be helping that- that THING at all!" Despite her outburst Vlad didn't admonish her at all, instead asking Alacar a question. "Where are they?" The very question Alacar was dreading to hear and hoping he could get away with never having to answer until Vlad already agreed to help. For the first time in a long time Alacar was scared beyond just the primal fear for his life. He was scared Vlad would deny him, reject him and let him go it alone to what would surely be his doom. Worse than that, he was scared that he might say yes and die helping him. For that reason he remained silent, eyes staring at the floor until he felt a hand on his shoulder. Once again Lonque was silently lending a hand to the troubled troll for no other reason than he wanted to and it made the fear and doubt a little thinner and easier to wade though. "They..... they're on a ship, a ship that is in the empress' fleet. Ship number 8375." "No." Syhren answered on behalf of Vlad. "That's asking us to die for you, a monster like you isn't w-" "I'll go." Vlad cut her off. "V you can't." "I can, and I will. Alacar is the reason you're still in my life Doll, I owe him." Syhren clenched her fist in rage as she stared down Vlad until finally softening for the briefest of moments before her icy gaze snapped to Alacar again. "I'm going too."

Not wanting to agitate the very very dangerous woman Alacar simply nodded in agreement with her. It's not like saying no would stop her and more people made the operation much more feasible to a point. Besides, having the incredibly lethal assassin on his side would be a nice boon. He also did in fact recognize that he was justifying her coming along to himself so that he would still feel in control which was a bad habit he probably should be trying to break. He instead moved on. "I have a man on the inside, the previous agent I was using overreached getting me this information but this one doesn't know he's working for me yet so hasn't had the chance to fail." "How do you know he's going to listen to you demon?" "Easy, I know who he's in red with even if it's unrequited and All I need to do is get that person to tell him what to do, as long as my orders are coming through their lover they'd probably kill themselves just because they asked." "Names, and will this lover listen to you?" Vlad spoke up "The worker's name is Rimmer and the person he's in lover with is Qimzal, and yes he'll listen to me we're close friends him and I." "Wow, I didn't know monsters could have friends. " Syhren added sarcastically. "Oh and I thought we were getting along so well!" Alacar quipped back to which Syhren hissed at him, actually hissed like a cat. The action was so terrifying it made him jump back and Vlad snickered at his expense. The exchange even seemed to make Syhren slightly happier. She stood up and took out her palmhusk. "I'm going to let Harvey know." "Doll don-" "No V, Harvey needs to know that we're both going to be in danger, he won't be okay if something happens and he didn't know about it." Once again they stared at each other, a silent battle of wills before this time Vlad caved and slumped into a chair. "Fine, but if he insists on coming I'm holding you accountable." "Oh no, I guess I'll die.... oh wait." She smirked and walked out of the room while Vlad massaged the bridge of his nose in frustation. "Sometimes I swear..." "I'm going." Both Vlad and Alacar snapped their heads up to see Lonque who had be silently watching the conversation the entire time, so quietly that they had both forgotten he was even there. Alacar opened his mouth to object but was silenced by Lonque speaking once again. "I'm going." It was a statement of fact, he would be there and Alacar would have to accept it. He was dumbfounded, this troll owed him nothing but was willing to die to help him out. Alacar couldn't help but to laugh.

💕 Tell me about the latest project you're working on or what you're most excited about creating right now. Send it to as many people as you want. 💕

Thank you, Hagi!

I'm incredibly excited about these last few chapters of arc one of The Maiden and the Drowning Boy. I've taken a long time with this chapter as I've had to keep reshuffling the order of the events like, six different times to try pace things out properly (what's all going on pre-wedding). This chapter is quite fun: It's Aegon's POV, We've got him and Daemon meeting, a throw down with the riverlords who have some... concerns about the wedding, and a bonus Larys and Aegon scene after the HUGE plot reveal at the end of the previous chapter.

I'm really excited about it, and I'm doing my best not to beat myself up for how long this chapter is taking. I hope people enjoy it.

Thank you so much for asking!

NO GOD PLEASE NO I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IN MENZOBERRANZAN PLEASE

[superthatguy62]

“Know that you stand before the ruler of countless ages- the Lord of Time! Across the eons, several mighty warriors have stood before me as you do now, all wanting to acquire my powers. And in my labyrinth I test their minds, weeding the weak out from the strong. Kneel before me, brave souls! I bestow upon you an honor reserved only for the wisest of sages, I offer you the power of time!

“Indeed, the very power I possess-

shall be fed by your powers!”

_____________________________________________________________

I can come to no end.”

Remember Chronodia? What was up with it?

[aces-and-kings]

Viper,

It has been a considerable amount of time since our paths last crossed, and no doubt in receiving this you will be met with the same shock as I was when I first saw you again after so long. I wish I didn't have to cause you this upset, but having you wonder seems a crueler fate.

There are truths that need to be spoken, burdens that need to be shouldered, and redemption that needs to find its way into our lives. As I put ink to parchment, I hope these words may find you well, despite the rift of time and distance that has kept us apart.

First and foremost, I want you to know that I left to protect you. The Syndicate we faced was relentless, and their pursuit of you consumed my every waking moment. They demanded your life for what they perceived as your betrayal, for not following through with the mark to kill me. In my heart, I knew the only way to keep you safe was to take to the sea, disappear into the depths, and take each one of the bastards with me.

It was two years before they seemed to stop coming. When I returned from my self-imposed exile, I discovered that you had found happiness and moved on with your life. How could I blame you?You had no word. Nothing to go on. I'm sure you would have waited if you knew. No, you'd never have let me face them alone, but that was a risk I couldn't take. Your life could never be a gamble.

Spider, your dear… brother, made it clear that you had rebuilt, that wounds had healed over, and life had taken a new course for you. He implored me not to disrupt the tranquility you had found, and in my cowardice, I obliged without so much as an apology.

Recent events have turned my world upside down, yet again, as my closest companion, Red, has died. His parting words, urging me to seek you out for the closure that has eluded us for far too long. Yet, as I stand on the precipice of this decision, I find myself incapable of taking the necessary steps toward a reunion.

I confess, that this reluctance stems from fear - fear that our tumultuous past would resurface and continue to consume us both, like a storm that knows no end.

Even though I cannot bring myself to stand before you once more, I want you to know that your happiness and well-being have always been my greatest concern, and it is with great reluctance that I release my grip and grant us both peace, happy for the life you've built for yourself.

Here, enclosed with this letter, is a simple trinket. You'll recognize it, but it is nothing more than a token, a reminder of the bond we once shared. Hold it close, Viper, and know that it carries the echoes of our past and the hopes for a brighter future.

Please find it in your heart to forgive this coward who has sacrificed so much but cannot gather the courage to face you. May your path be filled with serenity, happiness, and love, for you deserve nothing less.

with a heavy heart,

Thor

hey. hey. hey. psst.

chapter eleven (part ix) of 'it was futile' is up (:

[randomuzerthelozer]

I once saw a post saying "Why do you all like trophy but hate nickel" something along those lines. Now I don't care for nickel personally I don't deadass hate him. Honeslty I like trophy because there's a good setup for a character arc... Plus almost all my old ii roblox friends liked trophy lol

Anywyaz

I think the reason people like trophy more is that, they can kind of makeup the arc for themselves. You have some setup in the shorts and you can fill in the blanks.

And also many people just don't like Nickel or his arc in III, I think everyone has their reasons, and whilist some people's are more writing centered.

For me personally I don't like how drawn out it is. It takes up the full season, for honeslty mediocre resolution. Honestly back when I was really into Silver Spoon(in canon), Nickel and Balloon always felt like they were in the way of the thing I had going on with Cabby and Silver and whoever else would be in the top 3.

Like imo the arc could have been in the first part III. Like have balloon and nickel in this on and off relationship.

Then well, yiu can have thr thing that happens in canon exepct in a shorter time span

Or Balloon self leaves because he can't deal with Nickel's bs. This leads for nickel to do self thoguh. Which in turns makes him realize he has more important fish to fry then winning a competiton.

Mabye you can have him apologize in the post credit scene.

Again that's just my personal thoguhts on the arc, and I've seen better reason too why people dislike it lol

But back into the trophy thing

So why would you pour your attention, to the arc you personally dislike, when you have a fresh new slate who you can give a simiallar arc too and make it more fufilling! (For yourself of course)
