[atropinenightshade]

What do you think of this? Sorry, it's still in work but it's coming along just fine. 😁😁😁 Feedback would be appreciated 👍

Isaiah stood before his throne, gazing down at the crowd. They were loud and animated, but he could sense the skepticism from some in their midst.

He paid no mind to it; he knew that many of them were still loyal to their previous king and queen.

It was a common theme in fairy tales, resistance to change and a longing for the past.

He reached out to the crowd and offered a smile, but it disappeared as quickly as it had appeared.

Then came the shouts and jeers from the crowd.

“Traitor!”

“Go back where you came from!”

“We don't need someone like you!”

“We need a true king!”

In a flash of anger, he grabbed the crown and hurled it to the ground, where it nearly shattered upon impact.

A stunned silence fell over the crowd as they gawked at his display.

Isaiah could feel the surge of magic coursing through his veins, threatening to break free from his control.

Stepping forward on the stage, he raised his voice.

“You are all fools! If I am not your king, then none of you will survive! It's either me or no one at all!” he bellowed.

But everyone didn't care, they wanted him gone.

Angered he left the stage and motioned for his guards to follow him.

There was work to do.

Lots and lots of work to do.

Rhian: *trying to persuade his brother to do something* Please, Rafal? Rafal: *exasperatedly sighs* Fine. *does thing* Are you happy? Rhian: *grins and throws his arms up in and triumph* Yes, indeed! I am so very joyful! I'm ecstatic! I'm merry! I'm the gayest man in the Woods! Rafal: Well there's no doubt about that.

A School For Good And Evil One-Shot

「 Title: Into The Woods.

Fandom: School For Good And Evil.

Warning: Dark theme, forest, animals, people running and playing through the woods.

Pairings: None.

Author Note - This is just something fun to write, nothing is meant to be taken seriously. This is just something I came up with. Riley and Kiera/Harmony are my original characters, I've added them in just for fun. Thank you! And enjoy! 」

P.S - Also Rhian didn't kill Rafal in this one, Rhian is evil but he still loves his brother. Rafal is good in this one and they manage to work things out. Just a heads up.

😈😈😈

━━━━━━༺༻ ━━━━━━

Rafal laughed as his legs pushed him to the greatest max. His lungs felt like they were about to burst, his legs were anything but tired, his eyes water from the cold wind. But he never felt more alive.

There were sounds of tree branches snapping and leaves moving, but he gave no attention to that.

There were also owls hooting, snakes hissing and other animals and creatures of the dark forest.

His heart nearly collapsed when he saw a shadow moving up ahead.

Rafal turned his neck to see his brother running behind him on the other side of the forest.

Dark mist emerges from his fingertips, he shot a dark smile to his brother.

And Rafal knew he had to win.

Just then Riley came running out the darkness along with Kiera.

Both were head to head, and smiled at one another. ( Author Note - Why do I low key ship Riley and Kiera now? What the heck? Who wants to see them together? 🥺👍☺️ ) And kept running.

So far Rafal was winning, but if he keeps showing fear he'll end up losing.

He turned around and stops with full force, a tall creature like thing was running past him with full speed.

Rhian finally caught up with him and snapped. “ Get back! Go back to where you came from!” he snapped at the creature.

The creature left and It was just them, both brothers look at each other and Rhian had darkness in his eyes.

His eyes were black and red around the ring. But upon looking at his brother, his eyes turned blue again and softened.

“ Are you okay Rafal?’’.

Rafal nodded, and rubbed at his chest. He wanted to know what creature that was.

“ Yes, I'm fine. But what the hell was that thing?”.

Rhian laughed, a dark one. “ I have no idea, but it won't hurt you or Kiera or Riley.”

Both brothers then embraced each other, glad the other one was okay.

Just then Riley along with Kiera came to their side. “ Who won?” They asked, not knowing what happened five minutes ago.

Rhian grinned and looked at his brother. “ Rafal did, we owe him a steak and we have to do whatever he says for a week”.

Rafal looked at the others and smiled.

He did win didn't he?.

Now they all had to do his chores.

Victory was sweet.

And mother nature was scary.

Cover reveal for an upcoming fic.

[sarascamander]

Sophie's beef with Japeth is so iconic, they hate each other on a personal level so much.

Sophie: if I am your wife, I'd poison your drink

Japheth: if I am your husband, I'd drink it

[kelbunny]

Kinda similar to a piece about a month ago, but this time with more effort put into the background and with Roi's correct hair color haha

The Crestlands are very pretty.

[asha-mage]

Okay but like. AU where Temenos IS raised as a Blacksnake alongside Throne but before the Blacksnakes can all start killing each other, he gets caught by the handsome newly anointed Sanctum Knight Crick...

[thecreaturecalledriza]

This is not a drill

Princess Mononoke Tem is a go

Deaged Oz AU - The Farming Daze

Oz stretched, moving into a set of warm up exercises that felt as familiar as a second skin. He was still slower than he'd like, but the reflexes were slowly coming back. He glanced over at Oscar, who was watching, sighed and stopped.

"We really do need to source you a weapon, Oscar. At least temporarily. You stated you wanted to learn, after all?"

"Yes, of course I do! But... I don't have anything. You're really certain we can find one?"

"Anything can be a weapon, if you believe in it. However, if we can find something to use as a base, I may be able to alter it for you. It would be better with a workshop, but that can come later. Is there anything in particular you'd be interested in attempting to learn to use?"

"Something with an edge. That or a gun, do you think we could find a gun? Sorry, I know you're more comfortable with the cane, but... I don't think I would be?"

"Different people find different weaponry preferable. You don't have the training yet to use a blunt object as well as you might one day be able to. I do, but... hmm. Maybe we should ask your aunt if she knows of anything? Or at least if she knows of any tools that might help? I rather doubt we could locate a gun, however that's always a thought for the future?" Oz sounded amused, even though it was obvious that he wasn't a massive fan of guns.

"Maybe. Oz? You promise that you'll teach me to be a real huntsman?"

"Of course I will. It would be my honor to help guide you, Oscar, even if you only ever use it to kill the local Grimm."

"I. Okay. Thank you." Oscar looked like he wanted to say something but bit it back. Oz looked concerned, but decided not to press the issue.

Going back inside to find Oscar's aunt, Oz considered. As a farm, there might be something in an outbuilding, but... part of him wondered about Oscar's parents, whether they might have had anything. There was no guarantees that Oscar would want to use something like that, of course, but it might be an option if there was nothing else available.

Aunt Em looked confused for a second. "I... I'm not sure, honestly? There might be something in one of the further barns? Back when Oscar wanted to go to Signal, the plan was always to let him make a weapon there..."

"Understood." Oz said. "Oscar? Could you show me where the barns are located? If nothing else, we could take the time to explore a bit?" A very brief grin crossed his face at the thought and his eyes lit up behind the goggles they'd found as a temporary measure to shield his eyes from the light.

Aunt Em smiled at that. Oz had almost acted like a ten year old in that moment. Almost. Ah well, small steps...

Oscar looked worried as they both scrambled over the rough terrain towards the barns. Oz's limp was more noticeable the further they walked, but he seemed to be coping well enough.

"Are you sure you're okay, Oz?"

"I'll be just fine, Oscar. If I need any help, well, the cane does work as a walking aid as much as a weapon for times such as these."

"You shouldn't need the cane for that child, I'm sorry..." Ozymandias' voice echoed in his mind and Oz froze in shock. He hadn't heard that voice in years, why would he now?

"... Ozymandias?" He thought back, tentatively, but there was no response. Shaking his head, he grinned up at Oscar and kept walking.

"I'll be alright. Besides, I think we can see the barns from here. My, they are in bad shape, aren't they. Maybe you should stay outside, just in case it's dangerous in there."

Oscar stared at him for a moment, visibly comparing their physical statures, a strangely protective look on his face and Oz sighed.

"Then again... maybe not. I am not actually a child, Oscar, I can look after myself, you realise?"

"You're tiny and you limp. Besides, what if there's something on a high shelf?"

"Then I doubt either one of us could reach it, you are not really that much taller than me, after all."

"Hey! I'd still have a better chance than you would!" Oscar sounded wounded, but the smile he gave Oz was fond. "Hey, I wonder if this is what it's like actually having a brother?"

Oz's eyes were soft. "From recollection, it does feel rather similar. Well, well. That is rather interesting, isn't it?"

"If I'm your older brother, then there's no way I'm letting you leave here on your own, okay?"

"You may be something approaching a brother, Oscar, but you do realise you are not, by any measure, actually my elder?" There was a laugh in Oz's voice.

Oscar rolled his eyes and entered through the broken door, turning to quirk an eyebrow at Oz. "Yeah, yeah. Are you coming or not?"

Oz followed him in, watching his steps carefully in the gloom. There was no way of knowing if the floor was entirely level, but thankfully both boys had packed flashlights.Switching his on, he swept the area, looking for the telltale glint of metal. Ahead, Oscar sounded triumphant.

"Hey! Look, I found something!" The scythe he held up, however, was rust pitted and heavily corroded. Oz pulled a face.

"I'm sorry, Oscar, I do not believe that is rescuable without either a replacement blade, maybe the handle, too, or some sort of minor miracle."

"Can't you... you know? Magic it?" The scythe's wooden handle took that opportunity to start leaving flakes on Oscar's gloves and he pouted, seeing Oz's point.

"Magic cannot fix everything and, even if I were to use it on that, I doubt it would stand up to any serious usage. No, we need to keep looking. Maybe one of the other barns may be in better shape?" He glanced up at the roof, or more accurately the hole in it, looking doubtful.

"Yeah, maybe." Oscar left the barn, Oz in tow and went to look at the next one. At least the door to this one seemed more sturdy, surely a promising sign? It was also locked. Oscar looked discouraged but it was Oz's turn to raise an eyebrow. He also raised his cane and proceeded to open the door via the other route. The way the hinges creaked definitely made them both think this barn was certainly a better option than the last. Shining their torches upwards, they could find nothing wrong with the roof and though it smelled musty in there, at least it didn't smell damp. Definite improvements.

There was a sound in the corner and Oz went into a fighting stance. He relaxed it a few seconds later as what was probably a cat streaked past them, obviously startled by their entry. That made both of them chuckle a bit, though they might need to work out just how it got in, since the place had been locked up.

Moving along the walls, they could find plenty of tools. They were even still in good shape, though most of them were just hammers, screwdrivers, spanners, that sort of thing. Maybe, if they could find enough other items, they could build something? Again, though, that would depend on Oscar. Whose sudden excited yell ahead sounded rather like a very good sign.

Moving to join him, Oz watched as Oscar happily swung a short axe, unlike the scythe in the other barn it looked spotless and more than sound enough as a practice weapon. He wouldn't necessarily recommend using it to kill Grimm any time soon, but at least Oscar was happy with it.

"Do we wish to keep looking, or will that do for now?"

"It's perfect! Maybe a longer handle later, but... I have a weapon all my own now!"

"I wonder if we should inform your aunt as to this barn and the state of the other one? There are things here that she would probably have mentioned had she remembered them, I'm curious as to just how long this has been here?"

"Ages! The farm's old, been in the family for generations. I thought Aunt Em told you that? But yeah, it's full of places like this. There's a well and old farm buildings and all sorts of things scattered around. We can go look at some other stuff tomorrow, maybe? If you're my brother now, that makes this your home, too!"

Oz looked poleaxed at that statement. "Oscar, you... you even sound like you mean that."

"Of course I do! I've always wanted a brother!"

Oz was mostly quiet on the journey back, Oscar's words had given him a lot to think about. If he couldn't stop him from going with him and, he was beginning to suspect the futility of that, then how would he ever protect him, out on the road? There had been so many things, even in the barns, that were too high for him to reach. What if he was too small, now, to fight the Grimm properly?

What if this war was one he really could never win?

[hell0mega]

does anyone want to trade a female aether with me for this guy? i got two men from my eggs lol

[starryskiesahead]

still kinda trying to process the fall twist

[harmonyvarnes]

True. But I feel like there is a twist. There is something a lot of people are missing out on.

Where are their parents?

When did they have triplet sisters?

Why don't they talk about the sisters in the flashbacks/Prequel?.

The whole two prequels are so confusing. I see and understand why people are still confused.

So many answers and questions unanswered, the prequels just made me more confused about the main book series.

Soman why?

Just why? 🤧🤧🤧🤧

[ishikawayukis]
