A plate warming frost-stiff fingers, Phila scopes out the dining hall for a seat. Unfortunately, this is a task easier said than done. Though a relatively new arrival, she has quickly realised that the hall is always swarming with activity; intermingling students, staff, and knights with the clink of knives and forks on plates and the occasional shattering plate.
It's definitely a test of her reflexes if anything. Ducking under various food-laden arms and bodies, she manages to fight her way to a relatively undisturbed clearing. Seats blink into emptiness like stars on a dark night, but are seized upon within seconds, extinguished. Naga above, this was going to be a challenge.
Suddenly, in the swarm, an empty seat. Moving with a speed she would've been embarrassed by if her stomach wasn't so insistently vocal, she approaches her perch. Her eyes flash like the steel of a lance, jabbing away any encroaching students hoping to snatch her spot from her. With her ownership established, she turns to the adjacent student.
'Is this seat taken?'
In the flurry of seat-hunting, she hadn't noticed that the student in question donned vibrant yellow fox ears. They drew the eye in the dingy glow of the dining hall, obtrusive like a brand in the night, wresting her mind to a meeting in the castle, and a woman accusing her Exalt of a violence that was all too human. Taguel...?
Nothing beat food from home and Kinu had finally convinced the kitchen staff to make her some Hoshidan dishes, provided that she brought the ingredients! Her tail was twitching with excitement at the thought of tasting it. It was about then that her attention was drawn away by the sound of footsteps hurrying over to the table and her ears immediately tracked onto that sound. Then came the question.
Looking up, Kinu grinned when she saw the woman with pale blue hair. She looked a bit like her classmate, Marianne. Though she smelled like pegasi. She didn't seem to be wearing the student uniform either... so.... new professor? Or maybe a knight?
"Hiya!" she chirped in greeting. "That seat is free, why don't you sit down? My name's Kinu! What's yours?"
Her tail started wagging a bit with excitement. Kinu loved meeting new people! Which meant she started speaking quickly too. Oops.

With the hunting season coming in full swing, local vendors set up shop throughout many backroad towns and villages, chanting about their prices and deals on equipment and the lot of it. One vendor even declares that she carries with her a bow of a legendary Leicester hunter who felled a golden stag. She’s offering this bow at half price
if you can bring her an equally legendary creature of game as the legendary hunter once did. [Grants Bow +1]
The bushes rustle gently as the shape of a human man moves through them, green eyes alight against the darkness of the brush. The movements are almost catlike in nature, a hunter taking careful steps towards its prey. Swift and careful, but also still distinctly human and learned in nature.
Through the leaves, a shadow is spotted and the figure places a hand on a weapon at their side. The leaves continue to rustle as they creep ever forward, following the shadow through the dredges of the forest.
The figure's mission was to find prey worthy of being offered a bow of a legendary hunter. Something they didn't really care about, but the challenge of finding such a legendary prey was interesting, worth testing their talents for.
Stepping close enough, the figure lunges out at the shadow.
Zihark trips over a stick, loudly alerting not an animal but rather a woman to his presence. Ah. So not exactly the legendary prey he was looking for then.
"Haha, sorry, didn't mean to almost attack you there," He sheathes his word with a smile, holding out a hand politely, "Zihark. I'm looking to find some kind of prey worth bragging about to that lady back at the marketplace."
oh boy i sure wish i could @ phila!

"Oh! Uh... my name is Corrin!" Corrin perks up through the steam, though he still can't see the woman who speaks clearly. Even if she didn't mean to attack him, it's already a little bit too late for that.
Maybe he shouldn't have hit her so hard...
"Oh you know, it's an old story. If you meet your doppleganger, then only one of you can survive. I assume the students are spreading some version of that rumor, though more... sauna related," He laughs out. The Nohrian version of that tale had been a bit more graphic, but well, Phila didn't need to know that.
He's glad that she didn't actually end up being his doppleganger, and since everything seemed to be okay, he kicks away the bucket. He doesn't need that anymore.
He watches as the figure stumbles, running over to her, a worried look on his face though she would be unable to see it through the steam.
"Gods, I'm so sorry! Are you alright? Allow me to help you! You're just going to end up falling and hurting yourself more if you go on your own!"

Dodekaschoinos
The Dodekaschoinos (literally "Twelve Cities" in Greek) was the name of a region in Lower Nubia that became an important province of the Ptolemaic Kingdom after it was annexed from Meroitic Nubia by the Egyptian kingdom. The area fell under Roman influence in the 1st century BCE following Egypt's conquest in 30 BCE. Its area extended between the 1st and 2nd Cataracts of the Nile in ancient Kush although parts are within modern-day Egypt.
History of the Region Under the Ptolemaic Kingdom
The beginning of Ptolemaic influence in Nubia began when Ptolemy II (283-246 BCE) led a campaign against the kingdom of Meroe c. 275 BCE and successfully conquered the province which was afterwards referred to as "the Twelve Cities". It then fell under the administration of the Egyptian nomes (a term for the provinces Egypt was divided into). It was at first technically a part of the Thebaid nome, but in reality, it was governed by the commander in charge of the soldiers garrisoned in the region. This situation remained unchanged until sometime in the 2nd century BCE when the region was reintegrated into the Elephantine nome with its civilian governor instead of being a part of the Thebaid nome.
The Dodekaschoinos retained much of its native administration, and a Nubian governor appears to have been appointed and had authority over the Nubian inhabitants of the province. Many Nubian inhabitants of the region integrated into Ptolemaic and later Roman society like their Egyptian counterparts, acquiring Greek language and education, citizenship rights and Greek or Roman names. Kushite or "Aethiopian" slaves are also known from throughout the Ptolemaic and Roman world, but particularly in Upper Egypt which was nearest to Nubia.
The Dodekaschoinos was part of the secession of Upper Egypt (205-185 BCE) that was supported by the Meroitic kingdom which sought to regain formerly Nubian territory through an alliance with the rebellious Egyptian factions. When Ptolemy V retook the province (c. 185-184 BCE), he dedicated the Dodekaschoinos and Philae to Isis as an attempt to legitimise the Ptolemaic rule of the region and ingratiate the Temple of Isis in Philae.

phila's death in fea was pointless shock value and added nothing to the story. it would've been way more interesting for her to be defeated, but survive and be recruited at the beginning of chapter 10, so we could have her character contrasted against frederick's as someone who failed to save the woman she was duty-bound to protect. imagine the supports. imagine how good they'd be.
since intsys obviously doesn't care about her she's mine now btw. she has supports with at LEAST cordelia, sumia, frederick, and robin. she's bisexual and can marry robin regardless of gender. her son from the future is named alfred. his starting class is archer and he has a Thing about protecting people in general. unfortunately this sometimes leads him to forget that an archer should *not* be on the front lines. there's a bug where if phila marries female robin, alfred and morgan won't recognize each other as siblings (taken from how it works with gay awakening).
btw you'll never guess which other relatively minor npc from fire emblem awakening i have a weird amount of investment in.

Rumor is that there have been sightings over the many years of nine flying horses in the sky
 but the catch is none of these horses have wings! Additionally, these creatures are purportedly quite elusive and only appear one night every year. Could they even be real? Most people used to write them off as just a mere fairy tale, but as everyone prepares for impending trouble, some are desperate to get their hands on magical creatures by any means necessary. Some wish to sell it to help stock up in other places, others want to conquer one as their own mount to have an upper-hand in battle. No matter the motivation, the hunt for the mythical has become real, and the bounties have been set. Whether in the sky or on the ground, it’s near impossible to avoid these zealous searches, and if you happen to own a wingless horse, you may very well find yourself on the unfortunate end of one of these hunts
 [Grants Flying +1]
Izana was never one to turn down a juicy rumor. It's not like he had anything better to do with his day than gossip anyway. (Just because some monks got to leave the cathedral to do other things during their work hours didn't mean that he did. This was unfair imprisonment! Let him out!!!)
So it was no surprise really, that rumours of flying horses (Without wings! Yeah, he knows, he was shocked too!) made their way up to his little corner of the cathedral. He had laughed it off at first, chalking it up to a little ridiculous fun. I mean! Who had ever heard of a horse being able to fly without wings before? It was like telling someone that Izana was totally not amazing! As in: totally untrue!
But wouldn't you know it? Turned out that these things were real after all. Imagine his surprise! Now, he only knew this from the friend of a friend of a student who had sought his advice, but the word was that one of these mystical non-flying flying horses had been found and was currently being sold on the black market. (Student's name redacted for their safety! Because Izana wasn't about exposing someone like that! 😉)
"Hey Mister Izana! There's a lady here who wants to talk to you! She was asking around about the auction and I told her that you would definitely know something about it. Go on! Tell her!"
Izana's head perks up from where he had been taking a (totally not on company time) little cat nap on one of the pews, instantly leaping over it to get a good look at who this woman seeking him out was.
"Of course! I mean, I have one condition for telling you about it: take me with you!! Please! My beauty is wasted languishing around all day here in this dusty old cathedral!"

phila
summary: he was a frat boy. you were not a sorority girl. could i make it any more obvious. or how you fall for a frat boy and an incident happens that makes you realize how much he cares for you and just how much his friends do too. fandom: austin butler rating: m but not because anyone has sex more for rough content. pairing: austin butler ( frat boy ) x female reader word count: 2823 warnings: talking shit on fraternities and sororities. mild insecurity. a bit of misogyny. frat bros being heinous human beings. non consensual drug use. violence in the form of a drunken brawl. roofies being mentioned and used. dudebros being assholes. beer bottles being thrown. implied undressing while unconscious done by a trusted person. completely averted attempt at sa/sexual assault. author’s note: y'all can essentially blame @prompted-wordsmith for this one because they're the one who put the little nugget in my brain back when we talked about this. heed the warnings, please. i didn't tag this as austin's main post tag because i know it deals with a sensitive topic but it's also probably— the last frat austin piece i might write unless anyone has something they specifically want to see. same goes for my tags for all of you. which, truly i refrain from tagging when it comes to things i feel most of you would prefer not to read and this is no exception. i believe i put all the warnings but feel free to tell me if i missed any. hope you enjoy if you read and thank y'all for your support. also i know not all chapters of SAE are like this but they are known to be a— bad frat so to speak.
Tumblr media
Going to frat parties is not your idea of fun. It's a fact that Austin knows and will usually acknowledge and allow you to just skip them with promises that he won't do anything funny with any other girls. Not that you don't trust him, but you know how touchy he can get while tipsy, and you know as well as anyone sometimes touches can be misconstrued. There are lone exceptions, though, the parties that Austin begs to have you at so he can show you off and tell everyone how much of a genius his girlfriend is. They're always held at other frat houses, and every so often, you start to wonder if you're being dragged around like a trophy only to realize that's not the case at all. If anything, it's him trying to prove to everyone that you're kind of settling for him and that you could get better guys. It's a silly notion, you think, but it is what it is and you go along with it for Austin's delight only to remind him when you're safely in each other's arms in bed that he's the only one for you. Besides, what sort of girl is supposed to go for the premed and theater guy, hm?
Tonight is one of those nights where you're in a simple black and white jumpsuit and Austin is in what you like to call party causal. Or a step up from his normal tank tops but not full formal or business wear, but it involves jeans that make his ass look flawless so you're pretty sure you're winning just because of that one sole fact. It's easier to hitch a ride or just walk with Austin when it comes to heading to these parties and tonight is no different with you sitting in the passenger side of his car as his hand interlocks with yours.
"You're going to have to let go of my hand, Austin. Pretty sure no one is going to let us live it down if we get into a car accident because we both know better," you laugh, pulling his head up to your lips to kiss it as he shrugs.
"I can drive one handed." He attempts to defend his actions only to earn a look from you that has him sighing. "Hitting the curb that one time doesn't count."
A laugh erupts from your mouth as you finally move your hand away despite his pout with those plush lips of his. "Right. Do I have to call Darce and them to get more proof or do I win this argument just because you knew I was going to mention that?"
Austin pauses and looks for a moment like he's going to present a defense worthy of a brilliant lawyer before, "I think we're at a draw."
There's a moment where you look like you're going to playfully argue before you just smile. "Drive, Butler."
Tumblr media
Normally Austin has a tendency to stick close by to you at these parties, not because he doesn't trust you, but because he- despite being a nice and trusting person knows better than to trust a lot of the frats on campus. Most of the time any thing that happens are just rumors but he knows through the grapevine that there's a few people who shouldn't be on campus but have Daddy's money to help them avoid getting kicked out. But this particular party has some pledges he lost out on and likes to check up on from time to time. You're a big girl, though, and he knows you'll be fine. He knows if anyone tries anything they're in for a world of hurt before he even knows there's a problem.
In hindsight, he should have known better than to leave you alone at this particular party. The time before the party had been a little rushed and your normal preparation of having enough to drink ahead of time was left by the wayside. It meant this time around you were nursing a coke trying to be the designated driver at a house most people know better than to have open drinks at. You try to mingle as best you can, attempting to use this to build some connection to someone knowing that despite everything this frat is one of the richer and thus more connected ones and it shows in the talk you hear among some people. Your eyes instinctively seek out Austin more than once and are relieved that he's close enough to you that no one would dare try anything until you find yourself face to face with a guy you've met before.
"Y/N! Fancy seeing you hear. AB finally let you out?" The guy— Jackson, you think his name is— smiles, his canines being exposed when he does. He reminds you of a wolf in all the worst ways.
"Jackie," you mockingly croon, setting down your drink for just a moment. "Cute how you think Austin can tell me what to do like that. Andrew let you run around off the leash?"
You watch as a muscle in Jackson's jaw twitches and you want to laugh but you stop yourself when you see him start to open his mouth. "Funny. AB knows how to pick his bitches. He sent me over here to talk to you actually. Said he wanted to mend bridges between our two houses. He knows Aussie's a little mad about that—"
"How you sniped the kids you called charity cases in your pledge class? When everyone knew they were shoo ins for Phi Kap. But little Andy got it in his head they needed to SAE boys. Yeah, I heard the story." The words come out more vicious than you intend them to but strangely Jackson doesn't react. "What?"
Jackson laughs and for some reason you feel the hairs on the back of your neck stand up almost as if to warn you of something. It's then that you remember you set down your drink and pick it back up. As you're picking it up, you miss how Jackson smiles. "You really are something else. Shame you settled for the poor white trash surfer boy. When you get tired of him, you'd fit right in here, Y/N. Fucking mean enough."
With that Jackson walks away and you find yourself wondering what just happened as you take a sip of your Coke. Austin catches your eye from across the room and winks, smiling at you before turning to talk to the freshman he was already talking to.
Tumblr media
Austin knows that two things are wrong when he looks up thirty minutes later after catching up with multiple Freshman and being interrupted by some asshole whose name he didn't even catch. You're not where you've been for almost the entire party which wouldn't be strange except he can't really find you anywhere. He pulls out his phone to see a missed call from you, a voicemail and a text message that looks like the ones you send him when you've fallen asleep with your phone in your hand. That alone worries him and has him listening to the voicemail only to hear your voice sound wrong in a way that has him seeing red. It doesn't take him long to find one of the upperclassmen— Trey, he thinks? Maybe Trevor, Austin honestly doesn't care as long as he has some idea of where you went.
"Did you see where the girl I came here with went? My girlfriend— She—" Austin trips over his words, suddenly reverting back to that shy boy he once was when he was younger unable to order his own food. The man rolls his eyes.
"The uptight one? Dude, she went to where the bathrooms are. Maybe the bedroom?" His hand motions in the direction of a hallway and Austin shoves his way past multiple people to the third bathroom where he hears something that sounds like you groaning. Austin doesn't waste another second before he's against the door saying your name and somehow you manage to get the door unlocked.
Austin finds you on the floor near the toilet and all he thinks is that you look exceptionally out of it. Your eyes barely focus on his face and when trying to reach him you decide the under the sink counter door is his leg. "Aus—" You start before trailing off. "Why'm I in the bath'oom?"
Part of why Austin likes you— loves you as much as he does is how well spoken you are so hearing you like this makes him so terrified that he's grabbing your hands and yanking you up with a grunt. Your body practically melts into his before you hear another knock at the door and see some of the boys from Austin's frat looking at the scene. Kelvin's the one who speaks first.
"Did they—Aus, man, you know what this looks like."
Austin's grip tightens around your waist and you look up at him and press your nose into his shirt, inhaling his comforting scent even as your mind jumps and swirls and does everything in between being normal. "Tight. Too tight."
Everything feels too tight, your jumpsuit, your bra, his arms but you can't figure out how to get out those words as Austin's grip loosens just a hair when he turns to look at his friends. The boys he'd trust with his life and with yours. "I— I don't know how the fuck they did this but find whoever did it. Fucking— she can barely stand up and she wasn't drinking. You guys know that. Who does this— I'm just here to talk to the newbies not to— Not to put my girlfriend in harms way."
It's then that Austin watches Xavier and Adam already leaving the doorway and after a moment he hears a crack of a beer bottle breaking.
"Who did it to Y/N? We just want to talk, man! Take you so you can see your handiwork!" Xavier's voice silences the crowd before there's a rush of voices and cursing that has Luke joining the fray only for you to hear him shout,
"Where the fuck did you get a beer can like that?" It's a valid question but one he says while grabbing a foldable chair and brandishing it in his hands as someone— Trey? Trevor? Alexander? Someone tries to run off after laughing at the scene.
"She deserved it," he mocks as Luke steps closer to him chair still in hand. On your shaky legs Austin starts to try and lead you back to his car before Luke does something you never thought was possible outside of pretend WWE matches. He throws a chair on top of someone's head. Your ears faintly hear the cracking of wood and you wince against Austin before he holds you tighter to him.
"You're fine. They're— They're not gonna hurt you." Austin whispers against your hair and you can smell the faint traces of alcohol on his breath. "I think they're gonna hurt all of the upperclassmen of SAE but not you."
As if on cue there's a bottle that flies by Austin's head and shouts that sounds like multiple of Austin's friends trying to tackle someone.
"Fuckin' tryin' to knock him out?" "Already messed with his girlfriend!" "Your balls that small Andy??"
In another time and place you'd be laughing and while telling the boys it's not worth it but honestly you can't right now. Truthfully if you could right now you'd be joining with them, getting in hits just the same as the rest of them. It frustrates you to not be able to but at the same time there's a warm feeling in your chest unrelated to whatever is circulating in your system at knowing these boys are willing to do this for you.
Someone throws another bottle at Austin's head and it barely misses you before there's another set of shouts and more cursing and general ruckus. Austin pulls you closer once more and starts to head to the door as you hear Tom's bellow to Austin.
"B, get her outta here! We got this! Just get us some rides!" Rides home is what he means but he's interrupted by someone trying to climb on his back. "Now what the fuck are ya doin' bruh?"
Austin takes that as a cue to rush out, only stopping for a moment to shout something about not getting arrested before getting you both in the car. He knows he's not supposed to drive after he's had any sort of liquor but you're in no state to drive yourself and he doesn't trust that his car will stay in one piece if he leaves it here. The second he starts the car your eyes start to droop down and he frowns looking at you.
"I'm so sorry, babe."
Tumblr media
You wake up the next morning to Austin on the phone sounding more agitated the more words are spoken. It's a strange thing to see but even more strange is how you're in a pair of pjs you've left in his room at the house with no recollection of how you got in them.
"I know it goes against the code of— they drugged my girlfriend. I think when comparing the two we have the moral high ground. I'll take— I'll take punishment for some of them but you're not shutting down our chapter. I'll handle— yes I can handle it!" His next words are a little incomprehensible and you just sort of stare at him while pulling a blanket tighter around you until he hangs up and realizes you're awake.
"Hey. You— How're you feeling?"
You pause before answering and sigh. "Like shit. I don't— What happened last night? I remember bathrooms and beer bottles? And a chair?"
"I— I'm not really sure. You were where you were at one point, then you disappeared into the bathroom after you drank something? I don't— I really don't know. I found you when I realized and when I did. The boys and I realized you were— uh— that you had something in you that was definitely not something you took willingly." Austin moves to sit on the bed next to you and pulls you close to him. "I got you out of there and— there might have been a few injuries? Involving fists and chairs and bottles. General mayhem."
A silence falls over the two of you before your eyes widen. "You mean they— Did you just tell me I had a bunch of frat bros fighting for me?"
Austin can't help the quiet laugh that leaves him as he nods. "And I didn't even ask them to. They saw you and some of SAE said some— very stupid things and yeah. Tom shooed me out before a bottle hit us. They're in a lot of trouble right now but no one got arrested which is a— It's surprising but I don't question the charm of some of us."
"What about the whole frat—" The words die on your lips as soon as Austin's hand touches your cheek and he shakes his head.
"We'll be fine. Fighting with another frat is bad but not nearly as bad as members drugging someone on purpose considering I think— I think they singled you out specifically. Or at least figured you'd be a fun target. I don't— It doesn't matter. We look better in comparison." Austin explains, watching you bite your lip. "It's fine, babe. I promise. Honestly, they care more about you and if you're okay. Just like me."
Which is to honestly say, stop worrying in Austin's roundabout way. You don't speak for a good five minutes, choosing instead to listen to Austin's heartbeat before you finally move to try and get up. Austin quickly puts a stop to that even as you frown. "Austin, I'm fine just let me get up."
"Future doctor's orders. You're staying in bed today just so I can keep an eye on you. Promise you can do whatever tomorrow. Just— please, babe."
After a moment you move to crawl back into bed and glare a bit at him. "Go get me food, then. I'm— I think I'm so hungry I'm nauseous? I don't know just— food." You stare at the door and swear you hear someone walking by it. "And I guess send in the guys? Are they being creepy at the door?"
The answering yell of no has you and Austin laughing as he opens the door to find Tom chilling against the door, before barging in. "They sent me for recon. Ya good?"
You share a look with Austin as you nod. "Yeah, go tell them I'm good. And that next time try and defend my honor a little more subtly. And tell Luke he's got to show me that chair trick."

"I got it, I got it." He held up both hands, arrested by her rapturing talk of duty and protection. So fun lectures weren't off the table exactly, they just had to be Safe. With a capital S and everything. "Ahaha~ as engaging as someone could be, wrapped in safety sponges and tinsel." He finger wagged, letting her go through her rounds of giving half-hearted steps to righteousness and all the fun things that come with the duty-bound.
But it isn't lost on him, the amount of times her eyes have quivered at a silly thing or another he's said. He wasn't in the business of conversion, and he knew priests that could talk circles around him, but Henry clued into a couple things that seemed to bring up some flags. One: she wasn't indifferent to the mention of Sumia or Cordelia. Meaning either pegasus knights had an Anna-in-every-country sitch, or that she actually knew them personally. Two: she didn't immediately clench her tail feathers and run for it.
"Where anyone learns their magic! An academy! (Of sorts.)" She tiptoed around every topic, meticulously overturning every rock like a crow on its own. She was in all ways he wasn't, and he looked fondly at their differences like a party mix of candies. As Henry belly laughed under the window's reflection, his shadow painted the length of the room, while the sun slowly shifted outside. "Or was it an orphanage?" He pursed his lips, lightly humming between inconsequential details. "To be honest, I learned from a number of places. I can't say I picked it up from one master nor one war."
Henry wasn't very intuitive about how he learned things. Just that he did. If he was more keen on the technique of it, he'd notice that he'd pick up just about anything if it was put in front of him. There was even a point where he was picking up Miriel's mannerisms, or Frederick's spastic sleep schedule. Whose to say he wasn't going to learn from this lady, too?
"You just end up running into a new spellbook, another curse, another trick up your sleeve. Ahaha~"
From his long cape, emerges a book on bird handling. As innocuous as it could get, really.
"I could teach you a thing or two! And hey, this kind of magic is pretty goodie goodie if you put it to good use...'
From his book, he slipped a pressed flower that he had been using as a bookmark out in the open, for her to see. And twisting his wrist to whirl the flower around slowly, its petals began to fill with luscious color, and soon enough, became full again. "You're free to judge a book by its cover, but I doubt it'll be as fun as giving it a chance."
If Phila had been suffering under any pretense of control, it had long since slipped from her grasp. Or rather, it had fallen into the gaps between her fingers once more. She should know by now that any fleeting notions of command was more folly than fact. She'd realised the ephemerality of such things the moment she'd been confronted with many-pronged light dancing upon the arrow heads.
And yet, even just sharing a space with such an unrelenting, cackling figure - so dissonant with the sombre, glass-flecked classroom - produced the unsettling sense that reality was warping around him; a tornado kicking up dust around the giggling eye of the storm.
His protestations to her exit are candied, false. She is sure of it. The back of her neck prickles with the indignation of one certain she is being laughed at, but uncertain as to why.
'I fear I cannot dally, it would not do to neglect my duties to-' Her excuse is quickly neglected as the man before her begins speaking of war and safety and broken wings and blood on the grass and- No. He couldn't know, he evidently doesn't know her. She must learn to enclose her subjectivity. No longer could she allow herself to submit to a whole.
There's a sharpness to his point, it rankles in her chest. 'Of course I keep them engaged,' she snaps, the well-worn crease between her eyebrows deepening, 'but I cannot- I will not allow them to come to any harm under my watch.' Her voice falls, becomes uncannily still, and soft; she cannot allow the possibility of its cracking, splitting open like a scraped knee. 'What sort of teacher would I be then?'
And just like that the tone of the conversation takes a sharp detour. She blinks, as if the dark mage had shot the new topic past her, narrowly grazing her ear with something intellgible. Somehow, this man had known Sumia. That fact was almost less plausible than the body swap. After all, she knew it possible from experience alone. 'What? When on earth...?' Her bewilderment is lost in another belly-laugh.
He continues to speak of her knight-sisters, her friends, herself, as if he knows her. She grits her teeth, trying to lock angry reproach behind something solid. 'I wasn't aware you were acquainted with my former students - how is it you came to know them?' There's a suspicion that coils around Phila, it feels familiar, like cold palace walls and the murmured voice of conspiracy. She threads it into her words.
As the glass shards perform their sombre waltz, she watches levelly, trying not to let anything but neutrality show through. Each fragmented flash in its rotation momentarily dims with a shard of their features. Darting red eyes are shot through with the hypnotic force of the fluttering gaze on his collar. They mix, indistinguishable, for just a moment.
Then they're solid and distant and she can see where she begins and he ends again.
'It is certainly... useful.' She admits, and it almost sounds like something she could hear Emmeryn say. And if anything else, that is what detains her. What stops her from clinging to her excuses like a lifeline and fleeing.
He scares her, she has been taught her entire life to fear Plegia. Plegia was the hand holding the sword over her Exalt's head. But, hadn't she always said they were neighbours? Hadn't she loathed Her Grace's successor for starving them, and killing her father's spirit, and sacrificing every resource upon the altar of his senseless violence? Wasn't he one of the few reminders she had left of the land she had abandoned? 'How- Ah, where did you learn such magic?' She skirts hex, substitutes it for euphemism.

How is the Thabes mod so far? Is it worth it to download
im not too far into it so i cant*** describe it in detail but i think if youre a fan of awakening looking for ways to make the game fresh again its probably pretty worth it! i havent made it far enough to judge the story changes (ive only finished the arena ferox chapter and the biggest change were the gen 2 kids instead of generics) but down the line i know things like mustafa and phila being playable/support options will obviously change the story a bit so if that interests you at all i’d say yeah try it out
theres also gameplay balancing which ive been loving, but some of the changes might be a lot for some people! things like changing skill progression (ex: robin no longer gets veteran at level 1, changed for hit rate +10) and inheritance (exclusive classes like lord and dancer are able to be passed down) help change it up a bit. im not at a point in a game where i have access to this class yet but i heard they took galeforce out of the darkflier line, changing it to an aversa only skill, similar to shadowgift in the vanilla game. as someone who grinds for galeforce in every save i think this is a very welcome to change to stop you from breaking the game once ur units start getting higher levels, but not everyone will like that so. keep it in mind!
and if you DO get it, i’d reccomend getting a different “copy” of awakening. if youre using a modded 3ds get another rom file and if youre on citra get like. another citra save (theres like a youtube tutorial on that i can link it to you if you want) because thabes is just so big it might wreck your existing save files. if you dont care about that then nvm but if you DO, well. be careful!
