[dynastinoble]

Months ago, I made six black OCs (five of them are female but one of them is nonbinary 🤫) out of Picrews.

L-R: Deja Bright, Amaya Hicks, Kehlani Loomis, Teyana Garcia, Lennox Walsh and Patrice "Pattie" Mariens

Made with this:

[scrollsfortold]

kickin this blog off with a writing assignment that i LOVED.. it’s super long tho

In a hurried manner came along a Baker.

Although only a humble bread maker,

Her creativity flow’d like a river;

But she only showed a sliver

Of oh, how dearly she so desired

To be a poet like whom she admired.

Her heart was filled with merit and good

With her tales being filled with knighthood.

When it was her turn to tell a story

She launched into a tale of glory.

“Excuse me if this gets too long,” she said,

“For I’m still fixing the details in my head.

But without any further unneeded talk

Let me begin whilst we continue to walk.

The Baker’s Tale

Over the sunset came a bumbling knight;

Within her heart, there wasn’t a lick of spite.

Her name was Marien, a former farmer.

She grabbed her sword and polished her armour

After she realized that her calling in life

Was to save the knowledge of food from strife.

Fighting to save all of the legacies

Of secret and treasured recipes.

With her dear trusted draft horse, Constantine,

She searched for special recipes of bloodlines; Barley bread, lemon cake, veal, mutton, fish,

As payment, she would accept any dish.

Her passion for knowledge sent her far and wide,

From mild situations from ones where she'd have died.

She desired most the King’s Patty-Melt

Which had a taste famed across the greenbelt.

This quest of hers sent her on the trail

Of a fight where other knights would grow pale;

In the solemn kingdom of Iveswardoon

A plague had been ravaging the land since June.

This horror was no less than a monster’s kin

That was lead by an enormous goblin.

Its name was Urgolaz, and it had five wives;

All of which had born six ugly lives.

This clan of monsters pillaged and robbed

All who they came across. They mobbed

And attacked the churches and ate the people —

The only safe place seemed to be the steeple —

Until at last our heroic roving knight

Sought to make this awful horror right.

With Constantine she leapt into battle

Thoroughly disrupting their butchery of cattle

And after two hours had slain them all.

An Ogre, Suzelheft, was disgusted at her gall

He had set the goblins upon the town

And had no intention of settling down

Anywhere else; thus, he called a great bear.

‘Go to Iveswardoon,’ he boomed, ‘and seek

That human, make her future look bleak.

Make sure that kingdom is fit for me!

Now go, do not tally! You have places to be.’

The bear, Borwag, was the fiercest in the land.

He was famed for the blade in his shoulder

And his maw, which was as big as a boulder

If you believed the stories about him.

He roared and came upon Marien in her sleep;

She was within a dream so deep

That she never heard the bear charging.

But old and restless Constantine did! Barging

Into the bear’s chest, he flung himself into

The fray, swinging this way and that. He threw

Borwag into a state of rage, and the bear rose up.

One swipe would have been enough to kill him,

But the horse grabbed his master’s blade

And down fell Borwag! Slain without any aid.

When Marien woke in the morn, she was awed.

‘Constantine, you noble steed,’ she guffawed,

‘I’m lucky to have you! I almost perished.

Come! I’d think his head would earn us a dish.’

So she buckled Borwag’s head to the saddle.

When word reached Suzelheft, he was addled.

‘Some useless minions I have!’ he groaned.

‘I’ll run out of monsters,’ the ogre moaned,

‘If I continue down this path. I’m rui- wait!

‘If a good trap, I can create,

‘I’ll capture a member of the royal family.

Then that foolish knight will come to me!’

Suzelheft snickered and laughed as he limped.

No more money on minions would be skimped

For this feat, he needed only two.

Narsh and Olgra, two Fae sisters, would do;

They were famed for their cruelty and vile,

Whipping men and calling it a harsh trial.

They skulked around the castle grounds until

Hammond, the Queen’s boy, came out in the morning chill.

With a shriek, the two grabbed him and ran.

Amidst the screams of the boy, out came Ann,

The royal nurse and she went running

To King Emeric and Queen Dona.

‘The Fae sisters have taken the boy,’ she wailed,

‘What will we do?’ Emeric sent a courier

To shout the news out. Marien caught wind of this,

And immediately knew it was amiss

So they raced down to the castle, and

Upon arrival, asked for the job via demand.

The Royalty agreed, and they sped off

Leaping over rivers and taking the cutoffs

Until at last, they reached the cave where

Poor Hammond lay in fear and prayer.

Equipping her blade of honed whalebone,

The knight leapt forth and slew Narsh, the young one,

But Olga saw her coming and dodged,

The swipe of her claws missed and was lodged

In a nearby tree; it was quick and painless.

Picking up the boy, whose coat was stainless,

They headed back to the town when someone approached.

The someone was Suzelheft, and he was mad,

And to find Marien, he was glad

Lifting a club, he roared and stomped

Towards the three, which served as a prompt

For old Constantine to rear and buck,

Which, in a stroke of the best kind of luck,

Hit the giant ogre straight in the chest.

Marien struck him right between the breast

And down he fell! Never to wake again.

When the King was told, he launched into a speech;

‘How can we repay you, I beseech?

Perhaps you want a prince, or riches and gold?

Wealth beyond measure, or land untold?’

Marien looked the King dead in the eye,

‘I need but one thing before I say ‘bye’

And that would be the recipe for your

Patty-Melt. It is my desire- not to be a boor.’

So Marien and Constantine, jolly

And dear, knew that it was not in vain, their folly.

For they walked along with the Patty-Melt

And oh, how good the knowledge felt!
