Cancelled Episode 20 "Black-white dragon"

"Yo mama so fat, she is 20 time zones wide!"

-yo mama jokes series

We're back in the Black Venom King's cave again, as usual with us getting into caves and forests and oceans and stuff.

Well at least with the Wandering Evenstar we only need to complete the ritual with the exact instructions he gives us before we can unseal him.

Aannnddd...just one large step and drawing a large random imaginary circle in the air...and done!

Whoohoo! We all watch in awe as the seal on the Black Venom King's chains break-and, subsequently, his chains start to break too under the weight of his power...his venom...

And then, suddenly, out of nowhere, he dashes forward towards Hydrogenium and, summoning venom-infused claws, forced his hand on Hydrogenium's neck the same way I forced my sword on Disparage's neck the last time we were in this cave.

I gather my sword and infuse it with shadow energy-heh, I've lost my Kineticore, but I still retain Erik's powers-and prepare to head into combat anytime.

This others already reacted and got their weapons ready, getting into combat mode already. Alas, this is one of those moments I'll never know who reacts faster...

"Where! Is! The! Anodyne!" He screams not very loudly, demanding to know where this so-called Anodyne is.

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa, calm down there, mister, ehehe, uh...why don't we talk this over nicely like civilised beings, huh?" and suddenly Hydrogenium is throwing her hands up in the air and cowering on fear and trying to talk her way out of this rather than engaging in full-on combat. Just how powerful is this guy, exactly?

Well, powerful enough to "shake the heaven and earth with one roar", and considering he's the Dragon Lord's greatest nemesis, the LORD OF ALL LORDS MIGHT I REMIND YOU, he's definitely not a force to be reckoned with.

"Well, for starters, what exactly is this... "Anodyne" you speak of?" Disparage makes the first move to set things straight with the Black Venom King.

"Didn't you read the sacred inscription? That's how you came to know of me, right? The "seed of great power"...the Anodyne?" he answers with such a...great tone that onlookers might even mistake it for common knowledge that we just happen not to have enough inteliigence to know.

"And why the hell would I have it?" Hydrogenium defends with a good point, flailing and waving her arms around to further prove her innocence.

"BECAUSE OF THAT HAND THERE! THAT DARK-SLEEP INFUSED-HAND THAT ONCE CARRIED THE ANODYNE IN IT!" he's still screaming, but this time with much more intensity and definitely much louder.

"What...Oxygenium, did you see the Anodyne when you retrieved this hand?" Hydrogenium glares playfully at the fox, who then wimpers and innocently mutters a few words in fox language, and scampers away to Erik's arms.

"So, no, it says, no, the Anodyne was nowhere to be found when it found the hand, it just happened to merge with my own hand when I touched it," Hydrogenium shrugs and says it so casually.

"And you trust what that fox says? I'll-" oh, now, the Black Venom's King really unleashing even a fraction of his true power. Now it's about to get interesting!

Oh, but, Disparage has already gotten hold of the Wandering Evenstar and is threatening to seal him back in again. "If you dare to harm anybody, we've unsealed you before, we can always seal you back in again!"

The Black Venom King immediately retreats and sheaths his claws back. "Alright, alright...no need to get physical, ok? It's hard work unsealing me, you sure you wanna seal me back in again?"

Well, now that's he no longer showing signs of aggression, we can finally begin the proper questioning.

"First, answer our questions. What the hell is an Anodyne?" Hydrogenium, once released from the grasp of the Black Venom King, wanted to clarify.

"An...Anodyne...is...uh..." The Black Venom King stuttered and stammered, clearly not wanting to tell the truth.

Disparage, upon seeing that, held in position the Wandering Evenstar again. "Do we really need to go through this all over again, hmm?"

"No no no no no no no no! I'll-I'll-I'll t-t-tell yo-you!" Looks like the Wandering Evenstar, or, basically, the thought of getting sealed back in again really scares him, huh.

"Ugh..." He cleared his throat and prepared to deliver the speech he knew the Dragon Lord would kill him for had he heard him tell mere mortals such.

"The Anodyne...is the core power source, basically a power booster source, of an Exuvia, it grants them divine power on top of their divine power, and to other gods or even mere mortals, this power is absolute infinite..." His lips curl up in a wide smile almost subconsciously; or maybe it was on purpose, just to show through actions just how powerful this "Anodyne" was.

"And what exactly is an..."Exuvia", now?" Snowball continued to question him, allowing him no time to recover from that slow grinning to himself.

"Well...an Exuvia is a...creator deity, the ones responsible for creating the universe and everything in it that exists and does not exist, mmm....they're like....the absolute highest power! In the entire universe! Hehe.." the Black Venom King makes a rather futile attempt to laugh it off, thinking we'd just forget like that.

"I don't quite trust this guy..." Nemean remarked with a skeptical tone.

"Speak for yourself, Moonshadow Elf!" He immediately retaliated with an impulsive tone now, a large contrast from his previous calm demeanour.

"AND YOU. WHAT'S WITH THAT SWORD?" Trying to shake off the idea of impulsitivity, he fixes attention on me instead-or, more specifically, the sword in my hand, the sword I am wielding, the sword that fish goblin king gave me.

"When trying to retrieve the Wandering Evenstar, we were ambushed by an army of fish goblins, and because we weren't exactly the most skilled in underwater combat, we attempted to negotiate with them, and they allowed us to leave with the Evenstar in exchange for taking the sword off their hands," I explained nonchalantly.

"AND YOU THOUGHT TO CONTINUE TO BRING IT BACK?" He questions my extrenely flawed logic with quite a good point I can't exactly refute.

"Well, we do exactly have the very god that could be unsealed with the ancient relic the wielder of this sword was protecting, I'd have thought you'd have found some way to neutralise any of its negative effects, besides, what if it comes back to haunt us? That fish goblin king couldn't just throw it away and needed the Wandering Evenstar to finally get it off his hands, what makes you think we can?" I, however, decide to counter his counterpoint with another counterpoint, and explain why my flawed logic isn't exactly flawed.

"Well? What do you know of that sword?" Erik continues after the break of questioning.

"That sword...is indeed powerful. But it continuously drains the user's life force until they are dead when they wield it...then it proceeds to stay dormant until it finds a new host..." He hesitates before revealing the truth behind the...ungodly, sword.

"Hmph. Well, forget it, let's keep it, we might need it, I'll hold on to it," I also then proceed to inform them of three important points in a single sentence. That's what I call efficiency, not those mumbo-jumbo that go on and on about a single point that could have been sharp and concised to a few words.

"Well, now that we've unsealed the great Black Venom King, all that's left is to find his roar..." Nemean points out. Sharp and concise and straight to the point.

"Correct, although I have a proposal..." Disparage mutters, not wanting people to hear him clearly so that they'd ask for a confirmation.

"What?" And sure enough, Snowball fell into the trap.

"I think...Black Venom King, would it be possible to..." he takes a deep breath to deliver his suicide mission plan and also to stop muttering, "seize the element of surprise and get back your roar when we're already attacking the Dragon Lord?"

This time, however, the Black Venom King isn't taken aback by surprise. "I think he holds my venomic roar in a seal-glass jar somewhere deep within his castle, if things have stayed the same...so we don't want him to know that we already plan to attack when we get the venomic roar, so we get it and attack at the same time...interesting, risky but interesting. What say you, Alex?"

"How do you know my name-" I ask before being rudely interrupted by His Royal Eminence.

"I know everything that I should, so are you in or not?" He smiles charismatically.

Disparage, Snowball and Nemean nod one by one, no words.

Erik, still cuddling the fox, utters a muffled "What? Oh, yeah, yeah, sure," and continued to play with it.

Hydrogenium goes with the flow just like me last time. "Sure, if you're up for it, why not?"

And now the decision is all up to me. Well, sure, this is the suicide squad of lizard killing, ride or die, right?

Cancelled asset sales, fewer financings make oil and gas deals ‘a grind’

CALGARY – Closing deals in Canada’s oil and gas exploration and production sector has become “a grind” given the combination of over-leveraged buyers, anemic capital markets and pipeline uncertainty, according to industry executives.

Data from Evaluate Energy shows oil and gas producers have put producing assets pumping more than 180,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day up for sale in Western Canada as well as undeveloped land, but M&A advisers in Calgary say finding buyers for the assets is increasingly difficult with each new pipeline delay.

There have been three small deals — one pending and two proposed — in the pure oil and gas space, valued at a grand total of $4.4 million, according to Bloomberg data. Oil and gas services fared slightly better with two deals since the start of the year, led by Shawcor Ltd.’s $308-million pending acquisition of ZCL Composites Inc. Tidewater Midstream and Infrastructure Ltd. is selling its Pipestone Gas Plant’s 32MW cogeneration units to privately-owned Kineticor Resource Corp. for $85 million.

Tourmaline Oil poised to grab top gas producer crown in showdown with Canadian Natural Resources

Crescent Point writes down value of assets by $2.7 billion amid volatile oil prices

American giant Devon wants out of the oilsands — so who will buy its billions in assets?

Closing a transaction in the oil and gas sector has become “a grind,” challenging and tough, said Alan Tambosso, president of Sayer Energy Advisors, a Calgary-based deal broker currently marketing several smaller oil and gas producing properties.

Since the beginning of the year, Devon Energy Corp. has announced its intentions to sell its oilsands and heavy oil assets in Alberta, Crescent Point Energy Corp. has put assets in southeast Saskatchewan up for sale alongside other non-core assets and Pengrowth Energy Corp. announced a strategic review and may sell itself to another company.

In February, Cenovus Energy Inc. announced it would close data rooms it had opened for a series of non-core assets. Cenovus president and CEO Alex Pourbaix said the company had received bids for the properties but wasn’t comfortable selling at the prices offered so the company has opted to hold them for now.

Some energy companies put assets up for sale, only to eventually take them off the block. “It’s certainly not a guarantee that if you do decide to market some assets that they’re going to sell,” said Cheryl Sandercock, managing director, energy, investment and corporate banking at BMO Capital Markets.

“If it’s not critical that you sell, there’s less of a taint to assets that have been marketed and then been retained by the potential vendor,” Sandercock said, noting that withholding assets for a better price is a vote of confidence in the asset itself.

There are a lot of big-ticket assets on the market in the oilpatch right now but financing activity is down sharply and, as a result, would-be buyers don’t have the financial flexibility to purchase assets. In addition, many of the logical buyers for the assets on the block are still digesting prior blockbuster deals struck in previous years and higher leverage would make it difficult to transact.

“We’re at historically low levels of financing,” Tambosso said, adding that his advisory firm is seeing a low level of activity as a result.

Tambosso said the total amount of capital raised in the energy sector fell 75 per cent in 2018 to $5 billion, two-thirds of which was debt financing, compared with $22.4 billion in 2017.

Additional delays to new pipeline projects, including a one-year delay for Enbridge Inc.’s Line 3 and the possibility of TransCanada Corp.’s Keystone XL being further delayed is only exacerbating the problem. Oil producers hope construction resumes on the federally owned Trans Mountain pipeline this year, after a Federal Court of Appeal decision overturned approvals and delayed the project in late 2018.

“Any bad news slows down capital coming into the business,” Tambosso said. Some deals are closing, but they are primarily smaller assets that buyers can finance with their cash flow.

Investment bankers and M&A advisers noted closing deals has been tough as sellers’ price expectations don’t match buyers’ willingness to pay.

“If a company came to see if they could divest an asset today,” said Paladin CMS president and CEO Calvin Hughes, “I’d have to look at it very carefully to see if I could match their expectations and terms.”

Hughes said his company, a Calgary-based boutique M&A adviser, is doing more business outside of the oil and gas sector amid the downturn, and he’s seeing a healthy level of deals and interest in deals in other sectors. “People are still shopping, still buying,” he said.

On Monday, Calgary’s city-owned utility Enmax Inc. announced a $1.8-billion deal to buy Halifax-based Emera Inc.’s regulated transmission line and utility business in Maine. On the same day, Brookfield Renewable Partners said it would invest $750 million in Calgary-based TransAlta Corp.’s hydro-electric assets and also increase its ownership of the utility company to 9 per cent.

But there is little appetite to delve into Canada’s core oil and gas sector.

“I don’t think we’ve seen fewer attempts at making deals. I think it is, broadly speaking, a more challenging environment to get deals done but there is certainly a high level of general activity trying to get to the right deal structure,” said Cheryl Sandercock, managing director, energy, investment and corporate banking at BMO Capital Markets.

Analysts expect there could be more buyers for non-oilsands assets.

The Canadian energy M&A market is divided between the big assets in the oilsands and a limited set of domestically headquartered buyers, and everything outside of the oilsands, said Stuart Parnell, managing director at Stormont Energy Advisors, which is focused primarily on advising oilfield services companies in transactions.

Deals in the oilsands have grabbed attention because they are large and represent a trend of Canadian players expanding and consolidating their positions in the play, but Parnell said there are more buyers in tight oil and gas plays and for the services sector.

“The sophisticated buyers are recognizing that there’s an opportunity to get in and they’re doing transactions,” Parnell said, noting the buyers have largely been private equity funds or specialist energy hedge funds, while generalist funds have stayed away from the sector.

However, as those general funds and buyers have been staying away, he said, “it has not been a very strong market for a long time” and asset types that were typically sold in nine months on average, have now been sitting on the market for one-and-a-half to two years.
