Current I've gone back to school, so responses are going to be slower than normal for the forseeable future.

"A million times I have done this charade. The moment people figure it out, I get the boot." she thought.

"But don't you want to see the fear in their eyes when they see who you really are...? Don't you want dominion of this place, just like how you were unchallenged in Vaal Kastrix?" said the Voice.

Ciara scoffed, immediately thinking of Gulliver and Valen. "I'd love to wipe the smirk off their faces."

"It starts by building a rumor. A rumor of power. This could be the place to start."

She took a deep breath, narrowing her eyes resolutely at the Undermage. "Head Advisor, with all due respect, you have no right to ask me about my intentions. If you want answers..."

She stood from her seat, rising to her full height.

"You'll have to duel me for them."

Her breath caught when she felt the cold metal of a pistol against her temple.

"Put the heart down, and back the hell up if you want your friend to live," the guard said to Ellie in a rumbling baritone, digging the gun into Dream's head.

Dream squinted at Ellie, vision blurred as she tried to breathe. The heart, glinting in Ellie's hands.

The doctor, his face turning white every time she asked what would happen if they failed. Above all else, he said, they had to keep the heart safe. They had to, even if it meant...

She snarled, her boot stamping down on the guard's foot, a burst of light bruising the bone. He yelped, losing his grip. That's all she needed, and she tore away. But in her haste, she saw his free arm reaching for her, and she slipped on panicked feet as he pushed her off the railing.

She held back a scream, staring straight down into the boiling pit below. The guard wrapped a tight hand around her ankle, and Ellie could see Dream's other foot flailing; she restrained herself poorly from kicking the guard, desperately hoping she wouldn't die.

As her captor supported himself against the railing, his pistol pointed at Ellie.

"I'll drop her, I swear I'll drop her!"

Another kind comment. (2024)
This is what makes it worth it. (2024)
I'm grateful for the ride. (2024)




Deep, golden orbs stared back at her from within the cave.

God, she couldn't breathe.

He was monstrous. The ground trembled under her feet as his rippling, massive body exited the cave. Thunderous footsteps left cracks in the dirt, his breath sent waves of heat creeping over her skin. The transformation was slow, but it looked like something from a nightmare with the way his long teeth were bared.

A great and terrible roar sounded from his gaping maw.

She needed to run. Now.

@Squirrel98 That's correct! You see all the changes happening in the room, like the worm being moved.
Schemes really do be scheming, that would definitely work. It really be game of thrones up in here.

It will be great to see how Callum settles, once the sides vying for him have had their fun.
Small post is up. Feedback is appreciated.


It's perfect. You've put yourself in a strategic position. I love how he has history with the Bears.
@ERode In my head the meeting with the Ghost King happened first, and the Wizard Queen scene at the ship happened second. But yeah, I have no issue with making the Ghost King meeting a day before Sev's execution, we can do that, @Izurich.

@Donut Look Now I believe Duke Rhinecliff saw Sev a few days before the execution, right @ERode?

Edit: ERode beat me to it. xD
<Snipped quote by Estylwen>

Is it known that the king has teleportation skills?


Not well-known, no. At least, not across the border. And it's not technically the King that has the teleportarion skill, it's a small legion of mages that do the ferrying service in their own unique way.

The collab looks amazing, @Click This and @Irradiant! Well worth the wait!
Also Est, timeline-wise, when is this Ravenfell meeting happening, vs the 'current' situation of Wizard-Queen prepping to go sailing?


They are technically happening at the same time, but the Ghost King is teleporting those at the meeting to wherever they want right after, so timelines should line up.

The only big thing happening next after the Ghost King Meeting is Sev's execution at the end of the day, then they set sail. Then I'm planning another timeskip to when everyone arrives in Athius. You can let me know if you want to hit the Fields then or later.
I'll probably do something similar with Altina. That, or if you don't mind, Estel, I can just pretend that she's been there all along, so as to not ruin the flow of things. ETA for post: this... weekend?


Yeah, you can absolutely say she's been there all along, that's totally fine. The ETA sounds great!

The card looks awesome, btw. :)

Ciara Ventura

Iris Record, Arena
@Nanaya




Ciara's eyes fluttered, struggling to swallow, half choking on the potion offered to her. Sounds started to filter in. Her vision was hazy, but she made out the features of Michael, hovering over her.

"...Even bother to learn those spells earlier if you were just gonna try to kill the kid anyway?! And, even once she recovers…”
Michael


Ciara blinked, not quite comprehending. Her whole body felt strange. Like she was being flushed with cold water, then fire, over and over again. Like bad heat flashes.

Her eyes flickered over to two figures beside her. Iraleth, collapsed, the Head Advisor over her, illuminated with healing magic. She noticed the Head Advisor had, glancing at her every now and again.

Fear.

Same as the mistresses of the orphanages.

Ciara winced, eyes shifting back up to Michael. She remembered the sweet taste of her light, devouring it wholeheartedly, wholly prepared to go the full distance, to devour every last drop.

Ciara's face crumpled in shame.

“What have I done…?”

Her gaze shifted up to Michael. “I… I didn't mean…”

She took in a shaky suck of air, the tension in her body too much for her to handle, causing the edges of her vision to black out. It felt like she had dead weight strapped to every inch of her body, the healing potion desperately restoring what the purification had burned away.

Another few gasps of air, before Ciara weakly asked. “What's going to happen with me…?”

It was them she noticed her Adapa pinging. Ciara shut her eyes, the burden of her fight weighing wholly on her. A few breaths, before her eyes opened, and she summoned her Adapa, reading the email through slitted eyes.

The Adapa fizzled out, and Ciara's head leaned against Michael's support. She mumbled curses under her breath, before her eyes cracked open, and she looked at Michael desperately.

“Davil is here. In the Record. I have to-”

As she spoke, she slowly pushed herself off the ground, wincing with effort as black spots appeared in her vision once more. As she reached a sitting position, she huffed a moment. Her eyes descended on the stairwell beyond the arena, where she caught the tail end of Valen ascending up.

Growling under the effort, she forced herself to raise a little further, before she abruptly disappeared in the shadow of Otis’ sword. She appeared at the stairwell, taking a step before collapsing against the wall, leaning on it and the sword for support, before she took another step up, and teleported to the top of the stairs.

Duel be damned, where is Davil?
you can make it up to me by killing Rodey for still not getting around to our shit in Arrowfell


Should be more sorry for Ciara. She ain't ever beating those allegations now.




I'll try to post today or tomorrow.
