#it’s been a month i can post untagged spoilers right?

[cupcakerias]

little doodles of astra cuz i never saw any fanart of her yet lol

[unorthodox-soundwave]

I was formerly “jelly-filled-queer”

So, uh... that was a far longer break than I originally intended to take. Let me explain myself; I originally left due to being shown some very visceral content by the For You feed that I still refuse to describe. All I can say is that the posts with it were untagged so I had no other way to avoid it than to fully dip. However, right as I was intending to come back, something else kept me; Nintendo started going bananas with posting stuff relating to Tears of the Kingdom, and I wanted to avoid spoilers. As I was told by my sister and my friends, there was no avoiding stuff from the new trailers and such (especially after they dropped gameplay footage, let journalists start playing early, and then the entire game got leaked.)

So I ended up taking a break from pretty much the ENTIRE internet, save for a couple very small discord servers. But I'm back now! How have you all been? I've missed this place. Here's some updates on how I'm doing;

Obviously, I finished the main story of Tears of the Kingdom, so I'm no longer susceptible to major spoilers. I'll refrain from rb'ing much about it on here for now, at least until a month has passed since the game originally released (June 12th), since I have a sideblog for that.

The most important thing for me to mention is that I have gotten VERY into Transformers. More specifically, I made eye contact with Soundwave and discovered my entire sense of self, after not having it for most of my life. This is the heads up that my entire blog is about to get re-themed around that fact.

I think there's an argument to be made that I became more neurodivergent in my absence.

I just watched the new Little Mermaid! It's very good, I recommend it.

[always-anxious-skychild]

Skyblr, you have been warned a couple of times to tag your posts about beta content. This included:

Discussions and theories about beta content

Screenshots and videos of the new area and new stuff

Art inspired from beta content

New Cosmetics

Let's keep our record of proper tagging since dreams and assembly. Warnings has been done in the last few days and there are still content that are untagged. Not everyone wants to be spoiled and I'm certain you don't want to be that person who spoils the fun for many others.

Suggested tags to use:

Sky beta spoilers (this is what I use to tag my beta spoilers)

Sky beta

Beta spoilers

Season of the Little Prince spoilers

Season of the Little prince

Vault season

Or I suggest to use the :readmore: technique. Then be specific on what part of the beta you're gonna spoil.

I, personally, can be spoiled about cosmetics and emotes/spirits, but that's it. I don't want to see the new area and the new quests yet. However, many many others don't want to be spoiled with anything at all. So be kind and considerate.

We're only gonna be waiting for 1 month. I think we all can be patient, right? :3

[alchemyready]

RULES UPDATE! Mostly just some rewording, but a couple of things have been added here and there as well. I will be putting this on the rules page, but I’m posting it here first.

Feel free to like or reply to this post if you read them, but it’s not required!

Under the cut ‘cause y’know, long post.

ILLEGAL THINGS ON THIS BLOG:

1. This blog is PG-13, meaning that NSFW is an absolute no and I would prefer swearing to be kept to a minimum in interactions directed at me. If you have either of these things on your blog that's fine, just please make sure NSFW is tagged properly.

As for swearing, I won't make you tag it (I have the words themselves blocked in most cases) but I would prefer that you refrain from heavy swearing when you're talking to me directly. This goes for OOC interactions and IC ones.

Both of these rules are for my comfort, plus I'm currently a minor as of 4/5/2020, and so is Varian in most if not all verses.

2. I'm currently not open to romantic shipping. I'm not neccesarily against shipping, but I'd rather not get caught up in some of the drama that goes along with it. There's certain ships and types of ships I'm not comfortable doing, so I've chosen not to do any at all.

This may or may not change in the future, but if I open myself up to shipping with Varian it will be slow and I'll want to come to you first.

However, one thing I will never budge on is that I do not ship Varian with Cassandra or Rapunzel. Both of them are far too old for him. I do believe he had a one-sided puppy love crush on Cass in season one, which will remain in my portrayal, but that's as far as I'll ever take it. Otherwise, it's just not happening.

3. Hate, drama, or rudeness is absolutely a no-no for me. Directed towards me or anybody else. If you're the type of person to send hate to anyone, or to be rude to anyone, this is not the blog for you. I won't tolerate that at all.

I ask that you not rush me for responses. I do my best, but my muse can be very finicky at times and as a result things may sit in my drafts for awhile before I can respond to them. When I have high muse, I'll usually reply the same day, but if I'm dealing with writer's block it could even take me up to a month in certain cases.

Now, I will say that you're free to ask me if it's been over two weeks, because sometimes I will drop things as well. I'll let you know if I've dropped our thread, just make sure you're being nice about it when you ask.

4. Please don't reblog my threads if you're not the person I'm roleplaying with, and don't like my starter calls if you're a personal. This is mostly just to keep things clean on the blog and in my notifs, and while I'm personally not terribly disturbed by it, most people don't want their roleplays spread all over the website outside of the RPC.

5. Normal roleplaying rules apply- don't godmod, powerplay, etc etc. Generally don't try and control my character for me (small things such as assuming mine follows yours are okay, as well as establishing the situation in starters) and please ask before you kill him.

(spoiler alert: nine times out of ten i'll say yes 'cause i'm an angst fiend, but i'd still prefer you to ask first!)

THINGS I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO DO:

These aren't really requirements, but rather suggestions.

1. I'd appreciate it if you'd cut your posts, and turn asks into new posts rather than reblogging them directly. This is just to keep my blog and dash clean. If you don't do these things for whatever reason, then I'll do it for you in our threads! But I do encourage you to do this.

2. I'd also highly reccomend you have some knowledge of Tangled the Series before following me. This doesn't neccesarily mean you have to watch it (although it's a great show and you totally should) but I would prefer you to know enough not to be totally lost when we try to RP. This is both for my sake and your own.

3. Read all of my about pages. Both my verses page and headcanons / relationships pages have some important information on them, and I would appreciate it if you would check them out. Obviously the rules as well, but you're already reading those!

WHO I'LL INTERACT WITH:

I consider this blog to be selective, mostly with crossovers and OCs. I am especially picky with fandoms I'm not in / familar with and OCs. Not to say I won't RP with them, but if I can't figure out how our characters might interact, I won't follow back.

THAT BEING SAID, I'm still not mutuals only. I may not follow you back right away, but we can still totally try out roleplaying with eachother. If it works out, I'll go ahead and follow you, and if not this may not be the right blog for you.

I also will not do threads with personals. You're always free to send me asks and such, but long lasting interactions are limited to roleplay blogs only. Please let me know if your RP blog is a sideblog, otherwise I will assume you're just a personal.

Also, on my end, I don't send in passwords. I have social anxiety and it makes me nervous. But rest assured I always read people's rules before I follow or follow back! I may even ask you for your rules if I can't find them, in IMs if you followed me first or in your asks on anon if I'm following first.

BLOG CONTENT AND TAGGING:

Okay so, one thing you should definitely know before following me: I'm an angst fiend. I always have been, always will be. Varian also tends to be a heavy character in general due to the things that happened to him over the course of the series.

I personally don't have any triggers, and will write things such as death and violence, and occasionally suicide / self harm IF my rp partner is comfortable with it and it makes sense to happen in the thread. However this is very rare and will ALWAYS be tagged. 

I tag every common trigger with the 'tw: (trigger here)' format. If you need something specific tagged that I'm not tagging already, you're free to let me know! You're also free to let me know if I forget to tag something and don't fix it.

I'm only human, and things like that do happen sometimes.

While I personally don't have any direct triggers, there are a few things I'd like you to tag for my own comfort. These are:

NSFW, visual gore, politics, negativity / venting, drama, and discussions of serious irl diseases and conditions.

The only one of these that I will unfollow you for if it's untagged is NSFW. The rest I'll tolerate as long as it's not extremely frequent.

The only thing here that's close to a trigger is the last one. I suffer from hypochondria / health anxiety and occasionally discussions like that can cause it to flare up, but usually only if I'm already worrying about the thing that's being discussed. 

- - -

And with that, you’ve officially read my rules! Congrats. Thanks for reading through them all, and I hope to RP with you soon!<3

[nomattertheoceans]

There have been so many new people following me this last month omg

Thank you so much to everybody, I’m so so happy you stumbled upon my blog and decided to stay!!!!!

Since I think most of you followed me for my Feysand fics, I thought I would make this post to let you know a few general things about me and my blog :)

I’m French, so my English isn’t always great. I’m 25, and I live in South America, so I’m not on the European time zone, I’m closer to the US time zone (GMT -5). You can always come talk to me, about anything, in my DM’s or in my ask box, anon is always on.

Things I blog about, mostly:

- Sarah J Maas, mainly her ACOTAR series. I ship Feysand (I think this is obvious from my fics hahaha), I do not ship either Elriel nor Elucien, and I don’t really have strong opinion on Nesian. I want Mor to find the love of her life really soon, and I want Azriel to stop feeling entitled to her affection. I also wish Nesta going to the Mountains won’t turn her into a warrior because I want her to read books and drink tea all day long. Although, I’m really critical of the sisters’ general behaviour so I’m not always positive about them.

- Leigh Bardugo, mainly the books from the Grishaverse. I would die for Kanej and Zoyalai. I have many, many feelings about them and can’t wait for King of Scars 2 because I can’t wait to have my heart destroyed. I think Alarkling is an abusive ship and I do blog about that, I also think the Darkling is just an entitled abuser and I hate him. So... yeah no Darkling love here ^^��

- Brooklyn 99, mostly Peraltiago but really the entire show is gold and I blog about it often. Often without tags so... sorry x) If you ask me to tag it I will try to be better :) 

- His Dark Materials, the show AND the books. If you haven’t read the books, but are watching the show, my blog isn’t safe because I am talking about the books a lot!!!!! BUT everything that relates to the books is tagged #hdm books so you can avoid spoilers in my blog if you filter this tag. ALSO these books are a personal obsession, and my favorite book series, since I was nine so I.... have a lot of feelings. About a lot of things.

- Harry Potter. I hate Snape with a passion, I can rage about him for hours on end, and I do share anti Snape stuff. I also hate Dumbledore for forcing Harry to leave with his abusive family for 17 years. I ship Hinny and Romione, I LOVE Ron and I will defend him from the haters always, I identify 2000% with Hermione, and Ginny is my favorite character. Harry is bisexual and no you cannot change my mind. I do not consider The-Play-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named to be canon, and I have very mixed feelings about the Fantastic Beasts series. I also have a very love/hate relationship with JK Rowling because I love what she created but she doesn’t seem to understand her characters, she doesn’t seem to care anymore, plus she’s a TERF and probably a homophobe so yeah... I hate her and I talk about it.

- Random stuff: A LOOOOOT of it!! Stupid jokes, cute photos of animal, art that I like, movies, books, TV series I like,..... Sorry my blog is not well maintained hahaha

- Other people’s fanfic: Okay so I have a job that takes up most of my time and energy. So I have very little spare time to read and write, and most of the time, I chose to write. Which means I am very bad at keeping track of what’s happening around me in the fanfic universe. BUT I am always willing to check out someone’s writing!!!! I might not do it right away because of lack of time but I would love it :) I’m really bad at recommendations though because I have so little time hahaha

The things I write

Here’s my masterlist :) You can also read all of it on AO3 !

- Original story: I don’t blog much about it, but I’m developping an original story that is basically sci-fi/apocalyptic. I looooove it and I am always open to answer things about it!!!! I might try to share more about it in the time to come ^^

- Non-Feysand fics. I don’t write a lot of these hahahaha but I do sometimes write some Peraltiago, some Kanej, and I have a few Jily/Wolfstar/Marauders projects, but I don’t think I will post them any time soon.

- Feysand fics. aka most of what I write hahahaha I love them and their relationship is an endless source of inspiration for me. Here are details of what’s happening right now, and what’s coming hopefully soon.

Current projects:

Feysand Holiday Fluff Fest: The reason I think most of you are following me ^^ A series of fluff prompts I’m writing for this month, it’s really fun for me because I have a tendency of writing very long stories and it’s a fresh feeling stopping at one-shots.

If you hold me close: It’s a modern fake dating AU, Feyre doesn’t want to go alone to her sister’s wedding and invites Rhys, but then they end up faking being in a relationship. I was thinking I would tag everyone who asked me to be in the tag list for the holiday fluff, but you can always ask me to untag you, I will not take it personnally I swear!!! Your personal experience is what matters :)

Staying Afloat: My baby, I love this fic so much it’s impossible to explain how much I do. I want everyone to love it and tell me what they think. This fic tackles some tough subjects though, mainly domestic abuse (Feyre is dating Tamlin for a good part of it). It’s also very angsty, and a very long slowburn hahahaha @tonystarksbish is my amazing beta reader and general main supporter, she’s honestly the reason I write that many things now. Go check her writing blog ( @somanyshipsss )

Future projects:

A Feysand college AU, mostly written from Rhysand’s point of view. I’m planning for it to be around 15 chapters, maybe? But it might get longer hahahaha

Some one-shots, some canon campliant, some in modern AUs, but all of them being published at an unknown date, depending on when inspiration strikes hahahaha

A project that is basically dumb and silly and that I started TODAY with @quakeriders (if you don’t know what she writes, go to her blog right now), we might post it and tell you more but basically Rhys is canon!Rhys and Feyre is a dumbass human from modern time who’s chilling around in a Stitch onesie. It’s really silly but we LOVE it!!!!! I can’t wait to share it with you guys it’s gonna be so fun ^^ (But not before the end of the month at least!)

Completed projects:

I made you a promise, it’s basically a mostly fluff modern AU, Feyre and Rhys meet at a bar and start dating! It’s been complete for a while now but sometimes I still post random headcanons or short or less short snippets of the story, generally according to request from people (well, from @quakeriders really hahaha) so you can send me requests if you want extensions or headcanons!!

I am ALWAYS open to prompts!!!!!!!! I love them and I will love you if you send me some. BUT I might not answer right away because inspiration is a bitch hahaha

Anyway, I think that’s it, I hope you all are having a great day, and I love you all so much for liking what I write, you bring me so much joy that I could hug all of you and it still wouldn’t be enough ^^

[lastxdragon]

Rules

For the folks who are only on mobile, my rules are under the cut.

Independent Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen, based on ASOIAF book series and TV Canon. I also do interpretive versions at different ages/verses extrapolated from the books.

1. Want to RP?:  Please send an ask or feel free to @lastxdragon on whatever you want me to see. We do NOT have to mutuals for you to send me asks or tag me into a starter or a gif set. Do NOT try to guilt me into RPing with you. I’ll block you.

2. OCs. I’m selective about RPing with OC’s. Please message with a link to your character’s bio or give me a brief run-down if interested.

2.a. I will NOT RP with OC children of my character. My head canons have been carefully crafted from extrapolating my character from the books. There would be too many head canons to try and merge or keep track of.

2.b. If the HC for your OC character rewrites CANON for MY character/My character’s ancestral history, I can’t write with you. I won’t shift CANON HC of my character to suit your OC. I’m not even sorry. Google isn’t hard to use. (i.e., The Iron Throne was constructed by Aegon I Targaryen 300 years before Daenerys was born. He had the throne made from the swords surrendered by his enemies. It is supposed to have taken a thousand blades to make, heated in the breath of Balerion the Black Dread. The hammering took fifty-nine days. This is ASOIF CANON.)

3. Replies: I’m fairly prompt with replies, but I’m also patient if you are not quick with responses. I do use RPThreadTracker – the link is on my Info page. However, if you don’t reply for over a month, I will assume you are no longer interested unless I am told otherwise. This isn’t a demand, it’s a request for common human courtesy.

4. Writing style: I write multipara/novella/LONG ASS STARTERS. I don’t expect to be matched in length, but I will drop a thread if I post two good paragraphs giving you information about the surroundings, and my character’s outward expressiveness only to receive a one line reply.

5. Shipping: Yes please? I’m happy to write friends/sibling lines all day, every day, but I do love a good ship. HMU if you would like to see if our muses have chemistry. *Please NOTE: I do NOT throw Daenerys at male characters. Dany likes strong men. She is NOT going to be the one who makes the first move.

5.a. Targcest/Explicit Warnings: Spoilers and explicit/mature content. Daenerys is a Targaryen. The magic in their blood protects them from real world issues of incest. Valyrians practiced incest for hundreds of years. Westeros is a FICTIONAL WORLD, not the real world. Do not send hate or tell me I’m a bad person for writing Targcest. (The mun thinks RL incest is disgusting.) Explicit scenes will be tagged and put behind a /cut, but if blood, violence and incest bother you, I’m not sure Game of Thrones is the right fandom for you.

6. Godmodding: No godmodding unless previously agreed upon. Agreed upon means you asked me and I explicitly said “yes, you can do that”.

7. Elitist Nitpicking: If you have 1,000,000 walk-on-eggshells-with-you written or unwritten rules nitpicking every little thing about the simple act of writing - I’m not the writing partner for you. I don’t accept passive/aggressive manipulation and I refuse to be abused.

8. Clean Dash: This is my RP blog. I do not engage in politics or social justice here nor do I want to see it on my dash. I do use a Blacklist. If you post these things untagged, I will unfollow. If you have excessive OOC posts that are not tagged with specifics that I can blacklist, I will unfollow.

9. Following:  I only follow back RP blogs and only if I feel there’s a possibility of RPing together. I occasionally follow someone via mobile and later unfollow for various reasons - mainly, to keep my dash clean and little else. I also occasionally re-follow someone via mobile that I unfollowed. It is NEVER to get you to refollow me.

10. Applying RL world to Westeros: If you can’t separate fiction from reality, I’m probably not going to reply. There’s no such thing as POWs in Westeros. There’s no Geneva convention. There’s no such thing as letting someone kill you, because killing them is a “sin”. Enemies are sent to the wall or killed. Period. If said enemy doesn’t want to go to the wall? Guess what? Right. Cake or death. *Ned Stark killed people for desertion – no matter the reason.*

[alia-turin]

Since I finished Comrades I have been a bit disappointed of the lack of details regarding what is happening with pretty much everyone so I decided to provide myself (and you guys) with an explanation from the POV of an OC. It would be multichapter fic, and the whole point is to go through what is happening in Lestallum (beside hunts) how are the characters (Cor, Gladio, Ignis, Prompto etc.) dealing with Noct being gone. 

Title: Broken Bonds [Chapter I] Characters: OC, Libertus Ostium, Nyx Ulric (mentioned), Luche Lazarus (mentioned), Titus Drautos | Glauca (mentioned) Warning: SFW for work, next chapters might not be but there will be warning. Notes: Story starts just as Libertus meets the Avatar in Comrades. there are no major spoilers in this chapter as long as you know how the first 5 minutes of Comrades develop, you are spoiler safe. This chapter is A BIT too long, the rest would be most likely shorter.

Ada found a small hut that seemed good enough for a shelter during the night. She was starving and had finished her last drop of water few hours ago. With any luck there would be someone in the hut or there might be supplies. Even a rotten vegetable seemed like a feast at that point.

The door was unlocked which was good news, she wasn’t sure if breaking the door was within her physical abilities at the moment. The hut was empty and looted. The furniture was broken or stolen, there was broken glass from what she assumed were cupboards and pieces of torn clothing. She started systematically going around the place looking for food or water but she had no luck. Shelter was the only things he could get from that place and it was still better than nothing.

She gathered few of the clothes and put them in one of the corners. That was going to serve as her bed for tonight. She sat on top of the pile, her back facing the corner, her eyes having view to every possible entrance of the place. Next to her foot there was a small wooden stick, and Ada reached for it. With some imagination it looked like a candle. She held it in her fingers and lit the stick with magic.

“Happy birthday to me.” She whispered sadly.  

Years ago, when she still lived in Galahd with her family she had them and her friends to celebrate. Then they were forced to move out since the Empire was treating them worse and worse with every passing year. Still even as e refugee she had her family and then when she joined the Kingsglaive, there was that. But now her family and the Glaive were gone, and she was homeless and alone.

She sank into dark sleep, having the same nightmares she has been having since Insomnia fell. She was alone running out of the city, bleeding heavily and her head hurting as if someone put a nail in it. Then she dreamt of her argument with Luche. They argued until he lost his temper and slammed her hard against the wall. At that point she realized arguing is not how thing would go down. They fought and he won, leaving her almost dead. In the months that followed she still couldn’t decide what hurt more, the wounds or the fact she was betrayed and helpless. The wounds have healed since then, but she was still having nightmares and flashbacks.

Ada woke up from the sound of demons roaring outside.

“Everybody I know is either death or a traitor.”

It has been one year since all that happened and her mind was still not free of the guilt. She spent the rest of the night staring in the darkness unable to calm her mind.

 Morning came and it was time for her to move on. If she didn’t find water today she was going die very soon.

The darkness had not left completely. It has been months since she had seen fully lit day. Right now, the sky looked mostly like a sunset and she knew it will continue looking like that for the rest of the day. Ada looked around for some familial landmarks. She had lost her map and her phone was broken so navigation was difficult especially when there was no sun. She decided on a direction but before she could make even a step further something roared from behind her. She didn’t need to wonder what that might be, it was vary recognizable sound. She pulled a knife in one hand and prepared a fire spell in the other.

In front of her was standing a giant flan. Ada took a deep breath realizing she had the strength to fight for no more than five minutes.

 Pain was the first thing that came to her mind as she slowly regained consciousness. It wasn’t pain at particular location, it was all over the body, every muscle, every joint every bone hurt. Distantly, somewhere far away somebody was talking to her. She couldn’t hear actual words but there was a voice and if there was a voice there had to be someone speaking.

“Ada!”

Yes, that was her name…who was calling her? She knew she had to open her eyes, but that seemed too difficult right now.

“Ada!”

She slowly opened her eyes. First everything was blurry, ten there was almost no light. For a second she thought something was wrong with her sight, the light was really weird, but as soon as the person in front of her came to focus she realized it wasn’t her sight it was the sky that was wrong. That was right, the sky has been like that for some time now. Her brain slowly started switching into gear.  

“Libertus…” she mumbled recognizing the man kneeling in front of her. That had to be some sort of a dream or probably she hit her head very bad.

“There you go, few more minutes and I was going to slap you.” He helped her up and passed her a bottle of water. “You seem like you need that.”

She took the water looking at him with suspicion. From all the places in the world to meet another Glaive it happened now. It felt strange. The last Glaive she talked to almost killed her.

‘I was too weak to stop him’ the invited thought just appeared in her mind.

“Thanks, Libertus. You are sight for sore eyes.” She decided to act normal, but at the back of her head she couldn’t stop her defense mechanisms kicking. What if he was after her? What if he had betrayed the King as well?

“I don’t hear that very often.” He passed her two knives. Does where her knives, maybe she lost them during the fight? If he was passing her the knives, maybe he wasn’t after her head. “Hey, we are trying to restore Lestallum and to be honest we desperately need help. Do you think you want to join us?”

Ada bit the inside of her cheek. She has been on her own for almost one year and it was difficult, recently it became even more difficult, but…could she trust Libertus? The Glaives did betray the king and she has not heard from any of them for a year. Not that she ever looked to hear from any of them but there was a reason for it. Luche was one of her best friends since her first day with the Glaives and her head hurt for a month after the encounter with him. Ada wondered if she could take Libertus and the answer was no. Few months ago, probably,  but now she was starving and weak.

“Come on. We have roof over our heads and we don’t get attacked by demons all the time.” Libertus offered her an encouraging smile, but it was the roof over her head that won her over.

She nodded and so she found herself in a truck with Libertus and bunch of meteor shards.

“What are these for?” Ada asked pointing to the meteors. They were strangely pretty even if they were just piled in an old crate.

“Lestallum power station. It’s the only way we can keep the city up and running and of course avoid demons.” Libertus explained, but he wasn’t looking at her. His gaze was somewhere behind probably looking if demons would follow them.

“What did you do after Insomnia?” she decided to address the elephant in the room eventually. After all, once they reached Lestallum she might end up dead.

“Went back to Galahd. I was hoping Nyx would join me but…he never came.” It was strange selection of words. She knew the two of them were close, even if Ada was coming from Galahd as well she never was part of their gang. Compared to them she was relatively new in the Kingsglaive and so she had to find her own crowd. “Eventually decided there were more important things than just sit and wait and heard that the Marshal is trying to bring some civilization to the world.”

“What…happened? In Insomnia.” She slowly moved her hand towards her knife and started preparing a spell. If she didn’t like the answer, she wasn’t going to continue on that journey.

“You don’t remember?” He sounded surprised.

“I wasn’t conscious. Luche left me for death after I refused to participate in his plot. I know the Glaive helped the Niffs, but…when I woke up it was already night and Insomnia was gone.” Her chest was hurting just to talk about that. It has been almost a year and she was still not over it. She was helpless and useless to do the one thing she was supposed to do – defend the king and the people. She had ended up beaten and dying and the best she could do was to run. Maybe she should have died. Maybe Luche leaving her alive was bigger punishment than killing her.

“Whoa!” he almost shouted, staring at her as if she was suddenly growing a second head. “There is a lot you have missed. Well to bring you up to speed, some of the Glaives did betray the king. Luche included. The king was killed by General Glauca, I helped the Oracle escape Insomnia….” He suddenly felt silent.

“What happened with the Captain?” All these months she had blamed herself for not going to him to tell him about Luche, instead she thought she can convince Luche to stop or to stop him whichever worked. Stupid naïve girl….

“Luche really knocked you out very hard if you have missed that as well.” Libertus seemed even more surprised now at her ignorance. “The Captain was in fact General Glauca. Or General Glauca was the Captain, I’m not really sure who came first. The Captain killed the King and he tried to kill the Oracle. Nyx stopped him or I assume he did since nobody has heard from Glauca ever since and somebody else was made a leader of the Niff armies.”

Ada’s head was spinning. Titus Drautos…Glauca? How did that happen? The man was leading the Glaive, the man was fighting with them against the Imperials. He was next to them, he was supporting them, training them, teaching them. So, it wasn’t Luche that was behind the betrayal, something she thought all along. It was way deeper and Luche was just following orders. She wondered what would have happened if Drautos had come to her. If he had told her they were about to kill the king. Would she have said yes as well? She had the utmost admiration for the man, she respected him and now even that was gone.

‘My home is gone; my friends are gone and my teacher is gone.’ The words alone and loneliness suddenly reached whole new scale.

“How about Nyx? You said he never came to Galahd?”

Libertus just shook his head and Ada nodded. What she saw in the eyes of her fellow Glaive was very familiar denial. Same denial she saw in her own eyes every time she looked at her reflection. Nyx Ulric was dead, but Libertus had yet to admit it to himself. The exact same way she had to admit to herself her own failure and weakness.

“Luche was killed as well.” Libertus finally said. “He deserved what he got. Burned to death that idiot.” There was a faint smile on his lips. It wasn’t mockery, but more like relief that an enemy has fallen. Ada couldn’t sympathize with that. Not now at least. “I’m sorry, I know you two were close.” Libertus added quickly.

Ada just shook her head. Luche’s death was his own doing. They were friends, he was the first one to greet her in the Glaive and they happened to come from the same island of Galahd which made it easier to bond. Yet, despite everything he did, she missed him even if she hated him. Sometimes at night she wondered if she was stupid or masochistic.

“Here it is!” Libertus got up and pointed ahead of them.

Lestallum was…beautiful despite the ugly fences and barricades. Best of all there was light. Artificial light, but it was the brightest thing she had seen in months.

“Come on, we need to drop that” he pointed to the meteor shards. “And I need to introduce you to the Marshal.”
