i hope everyone knows that the last wga strike was ~100 days and it's a pretty common phenomenon for strike support to tank after a month or two when it feels like it's dragging on and some writers and talk show hosts are crossing picket lines and trying to "return" to "normal" because of people's livelihoods etc when they're really just scabs. sure hope that we keep that in mind and are prepared for the long haul and aren't just in it while it's convenient for us <3

The Dressing Doll - A Witch's Art
Note: This story is a follow-up. Click here for previous entry.
"Alistair, it's time for you to give up these childish hobbies. It was cute when you were a kid, but I really thought you'd outgrow this by now. Dollmaking is a witch's art. It's just not… healthy for a warlock your age. You understand?"
He didn't. What he did understand was that this was the kind of conversation where whatever he said wasn't going to be heard. The decision had already been made long before his mentor entered the room. His opinion was not being asked for, he was being asked to just agree.
Still, perhaps there was a way out of this, Alistair thought. Perhaps if he gave his mentor what he wanted without too much of a fight, he'd allow a little indulgence. "Oh, okay… I-I guess I won't make any more then. That's good, right?" he offered hesitatingly.
His mentor just looked from Alistair to the young boy's bed. At least two dozen little dolls sat there, enjoying miniature teas or running in circles crying awawa, oblivious to the implied threat. The sheer disdain he shot them made clear that no, that alone would not suffice.
"You want the other students to respect you and your abilities, right?" his mentor asked. "You're probably the only warlock in your class who still has any dolls, much less is still making more. Do you want them making fun of you?"
Alistair got the sense that this conversation wasn't happening out of concern for the respect people would give him. Voicing that thought at this moment though wouldn't win him any favors, he knew.
"I… I guess I could find some to… to donate? To the younger kids? Or-or maybe one of the guest witches? I'm sure they could find a nice home in a witch's atelier."
His mentor let out an exhausted sigh. "No, Alistair. Look at these things," he said, roughly picking up one of the dolls by the neck. The doll let loose a joyous weeee as she was lifted into the air. "They are rough, crude, hardly a glimmer of existential potential in them. Would you ask a museum to catalog your childhood drawings or gift them to someone younger than you? No. Alistair, sometimes you have to let go of the things you once treasured. We all do eventually, so it's best to learn how now. Choose one to keep. We'll Unmake the rest."
In an instant, all the color drained from Alistair's world. He felt numb all over. This couldn't be happening, he thought. His dolls had earned him the snide remark here or the reproaching glare there from his mentor. Not even his nightmares could have come up with this though.
His dolls, he realized, carried on with their frivolity as though nothing had happened; innocent beings without a concern in the world. They could not even conceive of what was to come. All except one...
One doll realized. One doll fretted. One doll knew. For the first time since her Making, he realized, she looked at him not in love or adoration, but in fear. The realization alone felt like a piece of his soul withering away to dust.
He couldn't do it. He wouldn't do it. They weren't just things. However crude or half-formed, each was a precious memory of his and a potential being unto themself.
Screwing up what courage he could muster, Alistair turned back to his mentor and declared, "I'm not going to—"
The old warlock grabbed Alistair by the shoulders and spun him right back around to face his creations. Bending over, he whispered in his protégé’s ear, "Choose one to keep or choose to Unmake them all. Those are your options. Be glad I'm allowing even that."
The one doll stared at her Maker. She stared and she cried. She stared and she resented. She stared and she silently pled for her sisters' sakes. Her little eyes bore holes right through Alistair's very heart. He couldn't think. He couldn't breathe. Not with her staring at him.
So Alistair shut his eyes. He shut his eyes and he chose.
__________________________
Late that evening, Alistair clutched the last of his dolls to his chest as he cried great, heaving sobs into his pillow.
He didn't get the time to do it right. He didn't get the time to do it all himself. He didn't get the time to give them the goodbyes they deserved. There was little understanding in those he rendered inert. There was none in those his mentor handled himself.
"Perhaps that was the greater mercy..." he thought.
What little understanding he was able to impart on those he Unmade seemed only to confuse them. "This one is going far away, but she'll see you again, Maker," the newest of his dolls had said just before the end.
Alistair shed a river of tears for her. He shed a river for each of the dolls he'd betrayed that evening as he went through them one by one in his mind, trying to commit every facet of their being to memory before it faded, knowing it was a losing battle.
The last and first of his dolls did not hug him back. Did not console him. Did not offer him the forgiveness he begged the heavens and angels for. The only solace Satin would offer Alistair in that moment was to grieve alongside him for the sisters lost in the slaughter.
End 🧵

idk if you remember but some time ago we were talking about kiri accidentally suffocating/rolling on top of you in bed and keeping you hidden until like,,,in the morning denki walks in like 👁👄👁 where’s yn 👁👄👁 and kiri uncovers you like a blanket then (not sure if it was ihb or tli but either way it’s forever stuck in my brain)
anyways this reminded me of that LOL:
https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMFpgyNan/
it makes me think of like…say the boys wanna hang out with you while you’re with kiri and keep interrupting your time together or keep hogging you so your full attention isn’t on him and he gets pouty so he tries to hide u with his body LMAO it sounds dumb but it’s so funny to me I wanted to share with you
(also hi cato!! I hope you’re doing okay!! ily <3)
-
anon🥺... i do remember that post!!! and i would try to find it again if it weren't so far back probably. i think it must've been one of the original smotherer!kiri posts on ihb :')) (even tho we do talk about it a lot now on tli too hehe)
bhjkjakjdhfa i'm yelling tho... typical case of "becoming friends w/ your boyfriend's friends..." like kiri knew they wouldn't HATE you but... he didn't expect them to like you so much that they'd bother you every. single. time. you came over. asking to sit and have breakfast with them, play video games, give advice... LMAOOOO it's no wonder they're always barging in on you both in his room!!
but i agree he gets pouty! denki or sero or even bakugo busting into the room when you're cuggling bc they literally saw u come over last night and know u haven't left... but not seeing u anywhere and going:
"...kiri... where's y/n?🤨"
and he's just like "hmmmm idk" trying to be so serious WHIL E YOU'RE FUCKING GIGGLING UNDER THE COVERS DJFADJKF
(or even like... when you're out in the living room, throwing a blanket over u when he can hear the boys outside abt to open the front door, playing games w/ them you have to be wrapped up on his lap, EATING DINNER and someone comes in the kitchen and he's holding up a napkin so you can't make eye contact lmaoooo screaming... YOU'RE SO RIGHT!!!)
really no surprise when kiri finally takes u to the japanese home depot and makes u pick out a new door with a LOCK on it😩😩😩 but... hard not to love that big puppy anyway🥰
...thank you sm for sharing anon!!! hopefully u don't mind my additions WEEEE i just loved this a! lot! also i'm kinda laughing bc just today i saw this tik tok too and was thinking about kiri too LMAOOO (texting those pics to bakugo and making him smack him to free u lololol)... it's like u read my mind❤️

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VALENTINEEEEE
how about birthday cake, gift, and surprise! for your choice? :3c
@kylars-princess WEEEE THANK YOUUUU I'll answer for euphemia since ff12 is on the mind 💜💙 adding in all the immediate f/os, including familial
BIRTHDAY CAKE: what's your favourite cake flavor? does your f/o get you that kind of cake or do they surprise you?
EFFIE GETS THE FRUITS AND FLORALS CAKE BEAM!!!! god forbid we know what spices and herbs exist in ivalice (maybe somewhere in the other ivalice games there lies an answer) but for now I'm gonna say that they like vanilla based cake with a small layer of berries in the middle, but they may also like a lavender or rose cake :>
upon second thought, there's a very small chance that effie would like tiramisu, but I think I'll go with my gut on the first option
either way, drace goes out of her way to drop hints about her sibling's birthday to vayne and he knows that effie has never liked large celebrations, so he has a very small, personal-sized cake baked by the imperial kitchen, but effie wakes up in a terrible mood and can't bring themself to eat any of it, and when they have lessons with larsa later they offer to split it with him
no cake sharing with gabranth, i think he would have one taste of the cake and go PBBTH from the shock of flowers in his fuckin mouth (if it were tiramisu he might partake in it)
GIFT: what does your f/o get for you? what do you get for your f/o on their birthday?
drace wouldn't be able to get them a gift beforehand, but they do ask to go to the shops with effie and buy them whatever they want, it's a little shopping spree for the siblings :D it's the same for drace's birthday
vayne buys effie a gift every year for their birthday and it is ALMOST ALWAYS supplies (notebooks, pens, bags, etc) because he doesn't actually know what they like anymore. drace has told him to try flowers and he vehemently denies it because he still thinks his feelings are a secret. effie draws things for most people's birthdays, and vayne has a drawer full of all of the drawings they've done for him but he would deny it
larsa gives them flowers from the garden every birthday!! it has become a small tradition the past few years where he'll choose specific flowers for their meanings and surprise them with them. they gift larsa books for his birthday because he loves reading!!
gabranth is....well....he's kind of on the same level as vayne, where he doesn't know what effie would want, but he has been anonymously leaving them flowers for the past few years after noticing it's what larsa does. unknown to effie, they do the same, following flower meanings as well. when they eventually become closer, gabranth signs notes with his flowers and the bouquets get larger each time he drops them off
SURPRISE!: does your f/o throw a surprise party for you?:
ABSOLUTELY NOT. vayne tried once and effie wound up having a panic attack for the rest of the night. no surprise parties for the anxious tutor.

My Magi LGBTQIA+ Headcanons
Ok, I've been working on this list since January. I still probably forgot some. I haven't worked out all my SnB ones yet and about half the Rens. It takes me an inordinate amount of time to sort them out. The only ones I'm really set on are the aspec ones because I'm biased (that's me, I'm AA and proud).
All that to say I may update this list or do a second part. Most likely won't be for a while since I'd want to to add a good chunk before I commit more to the wild.
Also, if you disagree, that's cool. My list though~ I love hearing other people's hcs but I am not up to arguing over mine. I know you guys are chill but to ensure we are on the same page :)
(It's a reasonably long list so all of it is under the read more)
Leila and Sahsa: You can't tell me the manga didn't start off with a lesbian love story with a little shit child playing mediator.
Judar: He very gay.
Aladdin: Genderfluid. I just like the idea of him having everyone constantly guessing as a child of chaos. They're also vying to take that title from Judar. I also can't place who the kid will be interested in but none of his friends are around the same age.
Titus: Trans gay guy.
Yunan: Doesn't really have much attachment to gender. He wouldn't really describe it as a lack of gender yet won't turn down using agender. Gender neutrois also works. Uses any pronouns.
Scheherazade: Cupiosexual. She yearns for being able to have sexual attraction but it just never has occurred for her. After a few decades she had accepted it about herself. The most common form of attraction she feels is alterous attraction (often explained as the space between romantic and platonic attraction).
Hakuryuu: He has messy chemistry with everyone. Bi disaster through and through.
Morgiana: Ace and questioning. She hasn't figured it all out yet but her friends are there to support her. (hi, yes, this is me projecting weeee)
Alibaba: Bisexual and clueless. So if you ask, he won't be able to answer but he also picked up on Sinbad's natural ability to flirt with anybody without trying too hard.
Hakuei: Lesbian
Koumei: Bisexual. I mentioned with the art I made on my own blog that I designed Koumei around the bi colors without realizing it. Nothing in my mind has changed to refute that so that's what I'm still going with. I do think it fits him.
Sphintus: Gay. I can see him being biromantic as well, but mostly into guys.
Sinbad: Pansexual and greyromantic. I won't go into it again more here. He's the best most clueless and suave person ever.
Jafar: Homoromantic demisexual. He likes guys but also without any strong connection to go off of he doesn't really register how people can be attractive.
Drakon: Omnisexual. There's attraction to guys, women, and enbies, all slightly different to each other. Preference for women.
Mystras: Also very gay.
Pisti: Aegoromantic. She gets invested in other people's (mainly her friends') love lives, and loves love stories, but whenever she tries getting into a relationship it never sits right for her. She won't mind an intimate relationship though knows it won't be romantic (after a bit of denial). After my brain came up with this I started projecting like hell and I don't give a fuck XD.
Mu: Mspec of some variety. I don't think he will be bothered by either bi or pan. Queer will work just as well. He will be down for anyone, you know? Going off queer history circles I've seen conversations and jokes that no one in Ancient Rome is monosexual. Mu feels like the person it will apply to the most. I'm going with it.
I joked to myself that the majority on Alma Toran are mspec or aspec. With longer lifespans for humans, a good handful are aspec because of the lack of incentive to have kids or families quickly. I would have posted about it last year during my Alma Toran posting in October and during ace week, but alas. I'm now posting it here lol.
Anyway, my Alma Toran hcs:
Solomon: Demisexual. Hasn't spent time thinking about it because he didn't expect to marry so young. It doesn't bother him though, not that he could explain his sexuality well.
Setta: Aroace. All ice mages are aroace because I said so. (except Judar, dude can have as many guys as he wants)
Isnan: Gay
Falan: Bi. Growing up she didn't have the chance to explore her sexuality. She won't deny it if asked though is perfectly happy in her relationship.
Ugo: Bi and aceflux.
Paimon: Also bi. She flirts too much with Ugo not to be (though I do know some lesbians and non-interested in men peeps who flirt with guys for shits and giggles without much feeling. Poison Ivy being the main lesbian I think of for this).
Arba: Non-sam aro. I tried to figure out her sexuality and I know it's not ace, but it's still too wrapped up in being aromantic. Non-sam is the closest I could figure.
Tess: Demiboy. The idea just burrowed into my head and hasn't left so I'm going with it. He is fine with he/they pronouns, yet the only people allowed to get away with calling him little boy are his parents.
That's all I got. For the moment, at least. If I try to figure everyone out I won't get around to finishing this till pride next year. If ever >>. As I said, I may update the list or post a second part.
Remember to stay chill peeps! & Happy Pride!

They'd been captured. He'd watched as the gaurds and Prince had tried to bribe and then threaten Narcissus into defecting to their side. 
He'd stood firm, trying to lunge for the prince at one occasion. He sat in the corner opposite him nursing his wounds. Felix knew he'd never bend or break, he'd never defect either. He knew his character, he'd been his first friend when they'd been boys. 
Which was why Felix needed to ask him to do this. They'd rot here and if he was meant to die in this war - it wouldn't be in a prison. He'd die in battle, he'd die burning the enemy to ash. He'd die seeing his sons and mate one last time. 
He'd die not feeling like he'd left unfinished business behind. 
"You need to hurt me Narcissus."
Narcissus snapped his head to him. His eyes narrowing, the gold turning to slits. 
"We've sat here for days and that's your genius plan? No. Think of another to -"
"Listen to me. I can wether it. I can survive everything you throw at me. But you need them to trust you. They don't have any Changelings yet. You can fool any Daementi they have. You have to do this."
Narcissus looked away from him his jaw twitching. 
"Felix. What you're asking is -"
"I will not die here. I will not have you die here either. We get out and we go home."
He moved, though his muscles screamed from the manacles and witchiron dulling his senses and magic. He gripped his shoulder barely. He waited till Narcissus met his eyes. 
"I will not have my sister loose her mate like this."
His eyes went wide, his entire freezing. 
"Felix I was going to -"
"Shut up and hurt me. That's how you earn my forgiveness."
--------
Jurian moved through the palace, smoldering and shattered marble in his wake. He moved to the cells breaking out into a run calling for Amarantha. 
"I found them!"
Narcissus stood in the cell, the cellblock littered with bodies. He held a rag dabbing at Felix's wound. His eyes almost wholly dark. The slits of gold barely pinpricks. Horizons in a yawning black hole. Jurian skidded to a halt, reaching for his blade. He'd seen Narcissus like this only twice. One when he'd been sixteen and Amarantha had dragged him from the Changeling Citadels. He hadn't been himself for weeks. The second had been in a battle some months ago when she'd been striked with an arrow. He'd orchestrated the entirety of the enemy battalion to turn on each other. He'd disemboweled and bitten the archer's head off. 
"Narcissus? Did -"
"He asked me to hurt him. They wanted me to keep going. They begged me to stop Jurian."
He titled his head, his eyes blank of emotion. His voice toneless and monotone. 
"Do you still hear the echos of their screams?"
//WEEEE!!! FOR AMIE, FELIX AND ANYONE ELSE!!!//
Finding them, finding him had been the only item on her agenda. The moment he had been taken everything else was off the table, she didn't care about this damn war enough to care if she was throwing it all out the window. If she was about to chaos that no one wanted unleashed.
Her boots echoed upon the floor, she was drawn towards the cells when she heard Jurian calling for her. He had found them, he had located them. She didn't slow, she didn't hinder her path. Nothing held her back, not even the forsaken sight of him once more broken.
Entering the cell had been like walking back to the day she had brought him home, the day she came to him wearing the ring he had gotten her. Nothing would keep her away, he would not scare her.
Amarantha slowed as she cleared him, noting his eyes and the way he held himself. Embracing the side of him he did not enjoy, but that didn't make him any less hers.
"Their screams will echo in history for what they done." She responded as she moved forwards. She looked towards Felix, his condition was grave but she knew what was done was for both of them to survive. Felix was a fighter, he would keep going.
She glanced over her shoulder when she saw Felix shift, attempting to get up but he was not fully able to. "Jurian, help Felix. He needs a healer and to get home to his family."
With that she moved closer to Narcissus, she reached out for his hand. "We all need to go home, you have been through enough Narcissus." No soft nickname, not while he was like this. He needed to know she saw him, so using his name was more important.

Alright so..
Incoming thoughts on Cadou and The Aging Process!
As always nothing too concrete going on here, just some thoughts and ponderations and perhaps a weeee bit of completely making things up whole cloth for my own enjoyment..
So to begin!!
I believe it's fairly proven fact that cadou/megamycete makes you ~functionally~ immortal right? Like obviously you can be Killed if infected but it ain't easy, and you don't really die of old age.
But if we're working with the possibility that like.. Karl was given his Cadou at a younger age but is now Old and Alcina was given her's at 44 but looks.. perhaps a Bit older (save the Largeness ofc) but in relatively the same age range
Then somethin weirds gotta be going on, and it's probably not a frozen-in-time immortality situation
(not to mention Donna and Moreau, who like??? Who knows when they were taken in and how old they were? Personally my head cannon infrction order for them is Moreau, taken as an adult - Donna, as a young adult - Alcina, as an adult - and Karl, as a child.. something to perhaps expand upon another day)
So I posit two ideas that work in tandem;
1) how much it affects your aging process is dependent on your infection stability. We see how Cadou stability affects a person's physical make-up; moreau is extremely unstable, Alcina is more in control but is still clearly struggling in some ways.
Karl and Donna on the otherhand undergo no severe physical changes, or all their changes are internal rather than external, as the Cadou adheres completely to their bodily systems. [also notable here is the difference in alci/sal turning into monsters Vs. how heis does it and the fact that donna Doesn't but that's yet another topic for another day] They are leagues more stable, both near perfect specimens, as Miranfa notes.
So the more stable you are the less Cadou is likely to interfere with your aging process, you do just kinda grow up. But if you're Cadou is unstable things get kinda Fucky. (It's a bit hard to tell with Moreau since he's a fish man and all, which I think is a transformation that happened slowly over time, but in Alcina's case particularly her mutation has a lot to do with cell growth and regeneration, so it kind of makes sense she wouldn't Age as much as someone with a mutation that just Grew New Organs One Time)
2) It slows things down on a sort of plateauing curve.
Definitely something with no/very little Textual evidence that i've mostly just made up to satisfy my need for Answers and Understanding and Making My Headcannons Work but it kinda tracks that the longer the parasite is in your system, the deeper it digs itself in and melds to you, and the Older You Get, the less you will Age because you are being propped up by this nasty self-sustaining mold parasite.
(Basically; everyone becomes Ethan Eventually lol)
So Karl and Donna are both possibly older than they look but are Also physically much older than they were when they were infected with Cadou.. and Alci's already slowed-down aging would get even slower.
And Moreau... is a Fish.. it's hard to tell how old he's supposed to be because of how badly he's been bunked up..
This does leave a Bit of a weird mystery with Mother Miranda, who appears to have aged exactly 0 since she found the megamycete..
i have 2 ideas for this as well;
(could really be either/or/and here, things don't always have to be concrete when we're making things up about source material we didn't initially create..)
But the possibilities i've so far considered;
Is that Miranda, unlike the Lords, was infected with megamycete directly, and not it's parasitic extract Cadou, and so it's possible she has a more complete and all consuming connection to the mold, like Ethan or the bakers had, and that that Does just whole hog halt the aging process (implying that Miranda is also Completely Mold)
Or that she works on the same plateau curve rules and has been aging ever so slowly, but her ability to take on different forms allows her to uphold the illusion of (relative)Youth. (In this idea I like to imagine that the Old Hag is in fact her truest form... And that she uses her eternally younger apperance to bolster religious belief in her, and the persona as the hag to reinforce said beliefs amongst villagers, and keep an eye on everyone, and has done this for a looong time)
And.. yeah!! That's all that really.. I'm kinda endlessly fascinated by thinking about how megamycete/cadou work and how it all seems so weird and magical (and it definitely like... Is) but there are still like.. very real ways to tie it back to core mold/fungal behaviours of like.. growth and consumption and perpetuation/sustainment!! It's cool idk!
(Gotta... resist.... going off.... about re7/8's themeing being about Family and collecting/growing a family... And then centering it... around an Argueably sentient in some ways if you really wanna think about it Mold/fungus.... Ahhh... I don't know enough about literary analysis to talk about this Smartly...)

"(Y/N), let's go out tonight, shall we? We can go on a drive or something." Xiao asked, looking at you.
"Xiao, it's late. Should we still go? It's pretty dark outside." You chuckled, looking at the clock. It was nearing 11pm, and it was actually pretty dark.
"It'll be a late night drive. I remember you mentioned that you liked them last time." He replied, smiling gently at you.
"Ah, you remembered! Alright then, let's go!"
Now, the two of you were on the highway – Xiao was driving and you were singing your heart out to the radio.

To your surprise, Xiao started to hum softly, to the tune you were singing.
"Eh?! You know this song too? I wouldn't have pegged you for a Rodrigo fan..." You chuckled, momentarily stopping your singing.
"She's not too bad." Xiao replied, letting out a short bark of laughter. You laughed along with him, and the two of you were singing along to her entire album that drive.

Chapter 10. A Trip to the City
It has been awhile sense Munchkin and Yuka left for the kingdom knowingly Kratos was still being tended to by Nova while Aless and Yuna went off hunting for food leaving the two alone for buying ingredients
Munchkin: Mr. fluffakins can't go on forever!! How close are weeee
Yuka: we are almost there now will you stop asking dear..??
Munchkin: I've asked once!!
Yuka: you said that the last five times
Munchkin: oh..sorry hehe...
Munchkin could feel that evil being following them as if it will never leave his side tormenting him in the back of his mind
Yuka: see here we are!
Munchkin: about time!!
They would pull into the kingdom as Yuka dismounts and ties her warhorse to the post by the gates, before finally making her way inside walking with Munchkin at her side
Yuka: alright I have just enough for the ingredients anddd
Yuka would pull out a bag of gold handing it to
Munchkin
Yuka: a enough for you to get a few things but don't go overboard ok kiddo??
Munchkin: I- yes ma'am...
She smiled and watches munchkin run off before walking into the brewers shop exhaling immediately people started to speak on her making very rude and sexual remarks to her after all she is a elf..why wouldn't they right??
Knight: oi pretty lady why not come over here and take a seat in my lap~
Yuka rolls hers eyes grunting from disgust she hated how people reacted when they saw a elf like her smaller and more well "easy" looking, she would
Make her way to the counter and look at the man behind it
Brewer: hm..what do you need elf??
Yuka sighed and pulls out a list of items handing it to him
Yuka: at least two of each..I would enjoy if you could try and hurry..
Brewer: understandable..I'll go check the back
Yuka would sigh and lean against a pillar waiting for him only for one of the men to pin her against the pillar
Sliver Knight: well now what do we have here~
Yuka: I could say the same to you..
Sliver knight: exactly you shouldn't be in this area elves tend to get taken around here and no one really cares to try and help them..?? I do-
Yuka: and it seems humans die a lot around here. So let's not push this
The knight laughs at her before locking eyes with her
Sliver knight: you think your funny or something???
Yuka: only if you want me to honey..
She mocks him and his pointless attempts to make a move on her
Sliver knight: shame your all alone in this shop?? No one to really stop me~?
Silence overcame the shop as she stares at him with a murderous glare hating humans like this who act all high and mighty only to be brought down almost instantly
Yuka: all you humans are the same cocky and greedy??
Sliver: excuse me!?! Who the whole do you think you are!?!
Yuka: I'm just a traveler?? Who's fighting for her own causes??
The knight growls and went to draw his blade only to find it was missing Yuka then giggled holding it up
Yuka: looking for this??
She smiled and snaps her fingers watching the sword melt into nothing the knight growling at and starts to raise his hand to punch her only for a arm to stop him
Aless: you should be more kind to the princesses helpers.
Knight: princess aless!?! I-I'm sorry I didn't ev-
Aless: don't worry about what I'm gonna do~
Yuka looked at aless confused why she was here but smiled relived that it was over with Yuka turns to the brewer and smiled at him paying for the ingredients she would walk out with aless and smile at her only to see munchkin hasn't returned to the gates she sighs and wanders the city looking for him wondering were he could have ended up and sure enough he was found hiding in the graveyard..
Yuka: come on kid..we should go..unless you didn't buy anything..
Munchkin: I did..but them..
Yuka turns to a group of men and sighs grabing munchkin and lifting him up into her chest pulling his face close to her chest
Munchkin: h-hey! Let meh go!!
Yuka: you shouldn't be so worried about everything..I'm not gonna let anything hurt you kid..
Munchkin blushes and got quite immediately not speaking on the subject just laying against her chest soon enough they would return to the gates and she would set him down
Yuka: we should head back now..don't wanna be out here when it's too dark..best to be by a open flame...
She mounts up along with Munchkin making their way back the trip back felt much longer than they thought
Yuka: is it just me or is it really hot out..??
Munchkin: yes...and it's pretty dark out as well...
Yuka would stay close to munchkin only to see them ride pass a temple she would stop to stare at it seeing tracks leading inside tracks of a demon Imp multiple pairs of tracks
Yuka: just as I thought..a horde is nearby the camp...
Munchkin: hey you coming!!!
Yuka: yeah on my way!!
She felt very uneasy seeing those tracks knowing for a fact that meant something real bad could happen if the horde wanted to attack them and they could easily be outnumbered
Yuka: we are gonna have to take that temple down..and those within..
Munchkin: that would be impossible if you do think that a horde is nearby then they most likely have that place trapped
Voidless: indeed...good thinking host...
Yuka: yes your right..but that would mean that something else would be leading them...after all..Imps are not that smart unless someone were to teach them that..much like goblins and gremlins tho gremlins are great workers for machines and such..
Voidless: I like this girl? Who is she huh? Your friend? Lover? Ooooo plaything!?!
Munchkin looked away from Void avoiding all it was saying to him
They would soon pull up to the camp Yuka immediately working on potions for Kratos, meanwhile inside his tent Nova was sleeping up against the tent she hadn't left his side this entire time...But there was far worse to follow was nearby as a group of imps watch the camp before returning to their own fortress of a temple running down to the lower levels to speak to their leader
Imp: yes my lord they are aware we are here but not you.
???: good...keep it that way if they try to attack. Do not fail. If you do. Oh well. More murder and playtime for me...ha...ha...
End of Chapter 10.
