Ares

[princessofghosts-posts]

One the things that got me during HoO,from SoN to HoH is the fact that Frank Zhang can literally command skeletons of people fallen into battles. When I found out about it I was extremely confused because I couldn't remember if it was a thing,or it was something new introduced to us. And apparently that was something already introduced in the first serie,since Clarisse in SoM had a battleship with an undead crew that she could command. I think it was a gift from Ares,like Frank's new spear was a gift from Mars.

But it was so strange when I read it,because at the time I really never thought much of that scene,and when they went to the museum to talk with the ghosts (it was off-screen and the only thing we know is that Frank couldn't comunicate with them) I was like:"Wdym Frank can use Nico's power??? He is not related to the Underworld. How is that even possible? Where is the logic at?"

But right now I think it's hilarious because Hazel got together with the only guy in the world that could command skeletons,outside of chthonic dieties children. And she is a child of the Underworld. Hazel and Nico really do attract death and are attracted by it.

And I remember that in HoH,while Nico's used the scepter to summon the undead,it was Frank to give them orders because they weren't listening to Nico since he was greek. And while I have a contrast feeling about this,it's actually pretty good for his character development and leadership skills.

At the same time there is irony here. Frank knew he could summon to skeletons/talk to ghosts but still was unsettled by Nico,and they all know what his main powers could do. The same thing that Frank's technically could but he never learned how (untill Nico provided him with a platform to help him in it),Nico can too without a problem. But nope,let's be scared of the son of Hades when you can do the same things,and had a skeleton fight for you not even a month ago.

I don't think people realized that the Ares Cabin can technically do this too (the IRONY is coming back at full force here,hoping for Nico to never find out about this because I knew he won't take it well) since it's only mentioned in one line. That's fair. But Frank's power of commanding the dead is pretty much in the background: it's talked a bit in SoN when Mars give him a new weapon and he summon a skeleton with it; it's talked about when they went to that museum to see if Frank could comunicate with the ghosts there in MoA (but those are like,4 lines); and HoH when he commanded the dead in the Temple with Nico's help,but that was mostly about his leadership skills and how Jason didn't felt roman anymore (Rick fucked up with this).

That's it. And I think is a waste because,since he can't controll it,Nico would the the best teacher to have for Frank. He is already helping Hazel with her powers,he can do the same for him. Especially because that part of Frank's powers is the same as his powers,since he does better in the death sphere of his father's domain (not Rick putting a patch on what happened in BotL,when Nico used the earth at this liking,and then never did anything with it again). Wasted opportunity to make Frank grow up from the stereotypes of children of the Underworld,and Hazel to step up and actually acknowledge their sibling bond instead of the "I know he is creepy and all but can you still be nice to him?" conversation.

Riordan gave the children of Ares and Mars a leverage they technically should never have,because even if those are fallen soldier,they are still dead. They can respond only if summoned or if someone can talk to them. And while the battleship and the crew were a gift from Ares for Clarisse,Frank had Nico to help him fight at the end of HoH. And then that same leverage got forgotten or unused.

And while I'm glad because it was way out of their parentage,I don't like how Riordan is comfortable to adding whatever power he want,to someone,and then taking it away,without writing about it. Why doing this??? Don't give it if you won't write much about it. It's just a waste of potential.

Just some silly thoughts

(Feel free to ignore me but here’re some ideas for a 600 Strike AU and ofc they’re based on LotR what else are you expecting)

And six hundred strike sounds more like “six hundred, strike” then they’re up and off and away they go against Poseidon

(GFL Short Fic) AN-94 attempts romance

AN-94 has no idea how to approach romance, given her lack of social skills and knowledge about humans in general.

But she would do her best to let her feelings be known!

AN-94 sat in her dorm dressed in her casual uniform, that being a black t-shirt and pants. Her gaze was focused on the wall, but she was fighting a mental battle.

She had learned that she quite enjoyed spending time with one of the human personnel, who seemed to feel the same. But it was...strange. It wasn't quite the same nature of how she felt for the rest of DEFY.

According to (Y/N), she seemed to smile around them and acted differently. What did humans call two people that were always together again?

(AN-94) "...A couple?"

That's right, they were called 'couples' according to the internet searches she had conducted in her head. But how did one become a couple? As far as she could tell, they were just friends. If that internet definition was even right, anyway.

(AK-12's Voice) "Thinking about (Y/N) again?"

(AN-94) "Ah, yes. Do you know how couples are made, AK-12?"

AK-12's Advice

(AK-12) "Hm, I'm not entirely sure. But why bother asking me when you could do so yourself? Come on, go out there and be yourself! I'm sure it'll be fine!"

AN-94 nodded.

(AN-94) "Understood. Commencing mission."

She left the dorm with a determined walk, AK-15 and RPK-16 looking outwards after her.

(AK-15) "...You realize this will end poorly, correct?"

(AK-12) "Probably. But better to learn from failure, eh?"

(RPK-16) "Agreed."

...

(Y/N) "So, what brings you by today, 94? Need something?"

(AN-94) "I am just being myself."

(Y/N) "...I-Is that right?"

(AN-94) "Is that a problem?"

(Y/N) "Hah, no. I don't mind a bit. I'm just gonna be organizing some paperwork for the commander, I can't imagine it's exactly exciting."

(AN-94) "Then allow me to help."

(Y/N) "Sure, that'd be great! Thanks again!"

AN-94 helped (Y/N) with the paperwork. True to her mission, she remained herself, not mentioning a single thing about her feelings towards (Y/N) and remaining almost silent the entire time.

For (Y/N), it was quite a comfortable silence. For AN-94, she was even more confused. She had changed nothing, why was (Y/N) not mentioning they were in love yet?

RPK-16's Advice

(RPK-16) "So, they didn't have a reaction?"

(AN-94) "Negative. I am unsure what I did wrong."

(RPK-16) "Hm, well you do have the sort of air to just be seen through..."

AN-94 slightly frowned at the comment until RPK-16 excitedly put her hands together.

(RPK-16) "How about physical contact? Humans are quite like rabbits where they desperately crave it!"

(AN-94) "Physical contact?...I see, that may work."

...

(Y/N) was suddenly confused as to why AN-94 was suddenly in their quarters. Not to mention she was completely still, her face literally in their chest.

It also didn't help they were also on their bed. She remained unmoving like a statue, and she was acting as if there was nothing wrong.

(Y/N) "U-Um...!"

(AN-94) "Does this bother you?"

Her voice was muffled in their shirt.

(Y/N) "A-A little. It's almost midnight, why are you just-"

(AN-94) "Then this method is not working. Please, excuse me."

Quickly removing herself from their upper torso, she stood back up and left the room without saying anything else, leaving an extremely confused (Y/N).

Commander's Advice

(AN-94) "...And that explains my situation, sir."

(Commander) "...Now, I know I have an open door policy, but why did you come to me about this?"

(AN-94) "Are you unversed in romance, sir?"

The commander awkwardly coughed into his hand, adjusting his jacket's collar and trying to ignore the fact AN-94 had just called him out for being single.

(Commander) "I'm just saying there are probably others who's far better at reading these kinds of emotions. Plus, that probably confused the hell out of poor (Y/N)..."

(AN-94) "They did seem quite perplexed as to why I was so close to them."

(Commander) "...Oh, I know who could help!"

He said, snapping his finger. He quickly reached for a nearby intercom and called out the T-Doll's name.

Springfield's Advice

Springfield brought out a small tray containing four muffins she had baked, giving AN-94 a warm smile.

(Springfield) "You know what they say! The quickest way to a person's heart is their stomach!"

AN-94 contemplated that for a moment before Springfield cleared her throat.

(Springfield) "It's a metaphor dear. Before you tear out their internal organs, it means that they'll get your message of love a lot faster if you give them good food!"

AN-94 nodded and stared at the muffins.

(AN-94) "But...these are made by you. Would (Y/N) not love you instead of me?"

Springfield couldn't help but giggle at her innocence. AN-94 tilted her head.

(Springfield) "I'm sorry, that wasn't meant to offend, sweetie. Well, you do have a good point, it would mean a bit more if it came from you, but-"

(AN-94) "May I borrow your kitchen? I would like to make some muffins."

(Springfield) "Be my guest!"

...

(Y/N) "Mmm! These muffins are so good! Thank you so much for bringing them here! Springfield always knows how to bake them just right."

For some reason AN-94 was flustered, unable to look them in the eye. Maybe it was because of that whole planking incident a few days ago? (Y/N) was confused, they weren't angry at her to begin with.

(Y/N) "Would you like some? There's more than enough for the two of us!"

(AN-94) "...T-Thank you."

Seeing her smile got (Y/N) to smile now as well, something she immediately took notice of. AN-94 made sure not to tell them of the fires that broke out in the attempts of her trying to cook for them.

Instead she had to use Springfield's muffins in the end.

...

AK-15's Advice

AN-94 sat back in DEFY's dorm, looking dejected as she laid in her bed. Every attempt had failed spectacularly. If only romance was like the battlefield, then she could complete this mission with no problems. She could hear AK-15 sigh as she approached her bed, crossing her arms.

(AK-15) "So, have you tried telling (Y/N) you liked them directly?"

(AN-94) "...What?"

(AK-15) "There's no use of beating around the bush. Tell them how you feel so you can avoid any further misconceptions, and get results that way."

That...made sense, actually.

(AN-94) "Thank you, AK-15."

Springing up from her bed, she immediately dashed out and made way towards (Y/N)'s quarters once again.

(AK-15) "...Human etiquette is so inefficient..."

...

(Y/N) "You...like me?"

(AN-94) "I do, (Y/N). I...I only hope that I am irreplaceable in your heart."

(Y/N) began laughing, which made AN-94 confused again. Before she could voice it, they stepped closer to her, grabbing both her hands gently.

(Y/N) "Is this what those last few days have been about? Why didn't you just tell me?"

(AN-94) "I...I wanted to try things a human would."

Seeing her flustered reaction made (Y/N) embrace her tightly, laughing gently and making her comfortable.

(Y/N) "Fair enough. I...I like you too, AN-94. And you've always been irreplaceable to me."

AN-94 smiled back and sunk deeper into their embrace, the two of them remaining silent.

AK-12 was listening in around the corner, nodding to herself in satisfaction. Walking off, she came across RPK-16 and AK-15 who were also nearby.

(AK-15) "You could have just told her to do that from the beginning and saved her the headache."

(RPK-16) "Oh come now, it's about the experience as well as the end result. Not everything has to be so direct, you know!~"

AK-15 simply grunted. AK-12 couldn't agree more. She'd have to pay (Y/N) a visit later, and make sure they'd be the best partner AN-94 could have outside the battlefield.

Starter for @drachnslayer. Muses: Sigurd (Tolkien verse) & Pharazôn.

♕ ♕ ♕

Often did the Commander of the armies of Anadûnê lead his men in Middle-earth. For a rare moment in time, he was at his home, the isle of the Men of the West, helping in the training of new recruits and the strengthening of already seasoned fighters.

Such a new recruit was before him now; his turn to test his skill against the Commander had come. Pharazôn had heard rumors about this man, named Sigurd, and often referred to as the bastard. This, the Númenórean did not much care about - only if he was good with a sword, and could prove himself against another.

Pharazôn brandished his long sword and gazed up at the sharp end of it before lowering, pointing it toward the other man. "When thou art ready, young man, strike at me," he instructed, feet firmly planted on the dirt underneath, but ready to pounce at a moment's notice.

"Never let it be said I don't care for my students. Aren't I most generous?"

-------------------------------------------------------

"I... thought this was lost forever."

Milgram stood in awe of the preserved, pristine steel interior. This chamber, once the ancient throne chamber of Sharanohiar, Soreil's Sharl haven, should have long rusted away after the ship's abandonment. And yet here it was, untouched as the day Lady Kanoyeel ordered it untouched. Not like he was there for any of it, but it was still a significant part of history, simply... erased. Or rather, forgotten. Left to lie, in favor of a brighter future.

Behind him, two Genom-Sharls, a set of tiger-like twins, stood at the ready. "You would be forgiven for believing so. This is one of the government's closest secrets." "But as it is the closest anyone in this day and age may get to the Surge Concerto Terminal, we saw fit to grant you access for this great endeavor. To reconnect with Ar Ciel is master Cosal's greatest wish."

The blue dragon gripped his ritual robes and took a deep breath as he walked out to the center of the room, scaled feet clacking against the cold floor with each step. A turn to the two envoys, and he was given a nod of acknowledgement.

"Follow your heart, Milgram. Our ancient lord trusts in your judgement." "Sing the song that will reunite the two distant children of EXA_PICO. Sing freely with all your strength, MILGRAM_TEIWAZ_KANOYEEL_SOREIL."

He closed his eyes... and belted out the beginnings of a prayer to sacred Singing Hill.

iyon-du vari-wei-iz, koh-ne aa-nie-iz soh-nh nyue-i;;;!

------------------------------------------------------------

"Readings nominal. D-Waves successfully optimized." "Unknown energy signature... presumably the magic of Twisted Wonderland. It's remaining stable, ma'am." "Mark it down as all green, then. Yuuki! You holding up in there fine, kiddo?"

Covered in red scales and eyes narrowed into draconic scales, Yuuki stood in the middle of the base of the Tower of Harvestasha. With help from the Tower herself, it was made into an amplifying field pouring all its strength into the aberrant - or rather, refined - Reyvaroid. Across from him was a legion of researchers devoting their all to his well-being and the execution of this song, its head researcher looking over his physical transformation with a discerning eye.

He looked back with a resolute, yet uncertain, gaze. Sure, they managed to open a way to Twisted Wonderland with much less than this, but that was only because Mickey and PHANTASIA itself was willing it so. This was an operation between two points in space-time directly in EXA_PICO's domain.

"No, but we don't exactly have the famed Sakia Lumei or - Wills forbid - the Briar Maiden herself, so I gotta take care of it."

Yuuki's passive chuckle was met with the encouraging uproar of everyone else, the head researcher in particular laughing with all aplomb. "Ace points for honesty, kid! Don't worry, we'll handle all the small details, so just do what feels natural. We're all green, YUUKI_TEIWAZ_AOTO_HARVESTASHA. Was paks ra reen yor hymmnos!"

A nod. Searching deep in himself, he began singing a most ancient prayer to sacred Singing Hill.

Rrha ki ra tie yor ini en nha...

On that day, Ra Ciela and Ar Ciel reunited through a looking glass.

Ramblings

I don’t know how -well I actually know- I ended up with Doublig Season (shown above). I offered the dude $35 out of the $43ish that it costs. He told me that if I got him 2 dragon shield sleeve packs and a coke we had a deal. And so now I have a Doubling Season and not a deck to use it yay!

Got extra early at work today went and have a breakfast in a local sandwich fast food chain. Then went out to take a a walk around Old San Juan in Puerto Rico before starting working and took a neat picture using Pokemon go.
