Mythoscember Day 3 -Hippalectryon

Do I know how I did all of these feathers back in the day (aka 2019)? No, I do not.

Were they 100x easier doing them digitally? Yea, should've seen that coming.

I don't know what 2019 Jade was on, but I want it back...

Anyways! Horse chicken! Or horse... rooster? Technically? Either way, a babey

THEY LET HIM OUT OF JERSEY!?

got bored and made an asoiaf au for my ocs

[lighthouseas]

chapter 13 of the strawberries are dying, my byler 1930s au, is now up!

Avoiding Will was, all things considered, surprisingly easy. Mike had work six days a week, so the most interaction he’d had with him was a few days ago, when the two had accidentally bumped into each other trying to get water from the tap.  And, while the entire interaction had been spectacularly awkward, it hadn’t been the end of the world—Mike had scurried away to hide in his room immediately after, anyway. But, apart from the crisis that Mike was currently having twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week, today was nothing particularly special, and he’d been managing to successfully avoid Will all morning. Even better, work had been canceled due to the printing press breaking and needing repairs, so Mike finally had a bit of free time.

TWOIAF/Fire & Blood: The Trial By Seven

Warning, Spoilers Ahead…

Visenya has crowned Maegor and proclaimed him King of Westeros. Visenya and Maegor arrived and King’s Landing and laid down the challenge: “Want some? Come get some!”

The Warrior’s Sons picked up the gauntlet. Seven hundred knights, led by Ser Damon “the Devout”, rode to Visenya’s Hill.

Maegor wasn’t in the mood to persuade or pacify his opponents: “Let us not bandy words. Swords will decide this matter.”

Damon the Devout agreed: “Let each side have seven champions, as it was done in Andalos of old. Can you find six men to stand beside you?”

This was the moment Maegor realized he left the Kingsguard at Dragonstone and Visenya isn’t as spry as she used to be. Maegor asked the crowd: “Who will come and stand beside his king?” The crowd played the “sorry, I can’t hear you” game as the Warrior’s Sons were fierce fighters. Dick Bean, a master-at-arms, volunteered to fight with Maegor: “I been a king’s man since I was a boy. I mean to die a king’s man.”

Dick’s courage shamed a knight to step forward: Bernarr Brune, the quire who had slain Harren the Red and had been knighted by King Aenys. Bernarr proclaimed: “This Bean shames us all! Are there no true knights here? No leal men?”

Bernarr’s scorn cased others to come forward: Ser Bramm of Blackhull (a hedge knight), Ser Rayford Rosby, Ser Guy “the Glutton” Lothson, and Ser Lucifer Massey, the Lord of Stonedance.

Playing for the other team are Ser Damon “the Devout” Morrigen (Grand Captain of the Warrior’s Sons), Ser Lyle Bracken, Ser Harys “Death’s Head Harry” Horpe, Ser Aegon Ambrose, Ser Dickon Flowers (the Bastard of Beesbury), Ser William the Wanderer, and Ser Garibald of the Seven Stars (the septon knight).

Before covering the Trial by Seven, have the opposing sides taken the time to clarify the stakes in the fight? What happens if Maegor wins? He’s recognized as king? The Warrior’s Sons leave King’s Landing? The Faith ceases their rebellion? If the Warrior’s Sons win? What? The Targaryens forfeit their claim to the throne? The Faith chooses the next king? Does Damon have the authority to make these decisions/concessions? Would the High Septon honor the agreements? What is the point of this mortal combat?

Damon the Devout led a prayer before the fight. Visenya gave the command to begin. Fight!

The only agreed version of the fight was that Dick Bean died first, cut down by Lyle Bracken. The rest of the details vary wildly. Some say the fight went on for hours, other say it lasted minutes. No one seems to agree on whether Lord Massey killed Harry Horpe or if Horpe killed Massey. The ending came down to Maegor versus Damon the Devout and William the Wanderer. Maegor slew Damon and dealt William a death blow but William gave the king a terrible blow to the head before dying. The blow cracked Maegor’s helm and left him insensate.

Maegor was declared the victor as he was the only combatant still alive – comatose but alive.

Visenya ordered Maegor to be taken to the maesters. The Swords of the Faith “dropped to their knees in submission” and Visenya ordered the Warrior’s Sons to return to Rhaenys’ Hill.

The trial didn’t resolve a thing – the Warrior’s Sons are still in King’s Landing with no intention of leaving. The Faith is still in rebellion. The only result was the death of thirteen men and a weakened Maegor. So what was the point? This is why you discuss parameters before a fight to the death! The main purpose of the fight seems to be a rationalization for Maegor’s post-coma cruelty.

Up next, Maegor takes a month-long nap.

"Risk is part of war," declared Richard Horpe, a lean knight with ravaged face whose quilted doublet showed three death's-head moths on a field of ash and bone. "Every battle is a gamble, Snow. The man who does nothing also takes a risk."

-Ser Richard Horpe

@dcviline asked: “everybody speaks for me. i want to speak for myself.” dyanna @ reina.

"You   are   father's   daughter.   We   were   never   one   to   keep   quiet."   The   younger   sibling   speaks   with   ease,   arms   around   the   cloak   she   had   been   given   as   eyes   look   back.   The   ale   she   just   drank   hit   the   back   of   her   throat   and   left   a   sour   taste   in   her   mouth,   regardless,   it   was   welcoming   in   the   northern   weather.   Winter   seems   to   hit   harder   than   anything   those   days.  

"Jon   Connington   was   ready   to   have   my   head   everytime   I   spoke   back   to   him.   The   man   has   forgotten   himself.   Alynne   was   not   happy   with   her   uncle."   Alynne   was   family   with   the   man   and   only   received   stern   looks   and   scoffs,   Reina   was   less   lucky   on   that   regard.   "They   truly   think   the   Stormlands   will   rally   behind   him   and   his   dragon   prince."
