I know this has been talked about before, but I felt like most theories I've read about Daenerys' prophecies don't make sense to me. Especially the 333 prophecy.
Three fires must you light… one for life and one for death and one to love…
I believe these fires she lights refer to magical fires. The popular theory for the fire to light is the pyre that created the dragons. I agree with this.
The fire for death I believe will occur in the show, which Daenerys lights the khals and crones that do not submit to her afire to untie the hordes under her rule. It makes sense. It shows her dominance which the Dothraki respect. Now because it seems to be in order.
The fire for love I believe to be a fire sacrifice she will make to have a baby with Jon Snow. This could be any number of fires she sets when she invades Westeros. The reason for this is due to the other prophecy made in the first book:

When the sun rises in the West and sets in the East. When the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves. When your womb quickens again, and you bear a living child. Then he will return and not before

This all seems pretty standard predictions that make sense to me. But now here's where I feel most people give confusing theories:
Three mounts must you ride… one to bed and one to dread and one to love…
The popular theory is that this refers to lovers, but that makes no sense for a variety of reasons. Daenerys has already had numerous lovers, and it all seems inconsequential for a prophecy to be like, here's some people you'll fuck or marry or whatever. She already fucks more than 3 people, and she didn't just marry Drogo to bed. The mount to bed is Silver, but she's not fucking the horse. She mounts Silver and jumps over a fire in order to move on through the ceremony and bed Drogo. It's treated as a big moment in the books. It’s the first moment in the story in which Dany overcomes fear and begins to take control over her destiny. Silver becomes her spirit animal in many ways, and its death in book 2 is heartbreaking for her. This is her first mount, representing her first leap into adulthood.
The mount to dread is Drogon. She learns to ride Drogon at the end of Dance, and it's incredibly taxing, violent, and bloody. She abandons peace and compromise and has chosen Fire and Blood. Daenerys will ride Drogon to unite the Dothraki. Drogon is the Stallion Who Mounts the World. This is the scariest leap into adulthood, and it leads to pain, suffering, and filth. It relates to losing her innocence and desire for peace.
The mount to love is the most unclear, but she will have to mount another animal in order to love. This must have to do with Jon Snow. My guess is that she rides Ghost while Jon rides one of her dragons. But this will lead to her conceiving a living child with him no doubt.
Three treasons will you know… once for blood and once for gold and once for love…
The popular belief is Daenerys will be betrayed, due to Daenerys herself thinking this in the books, but it really doesn't make sense.

“The Undying of Qarth had told her she would be thrice betrayed. Mirri Maz Duur had been the first, Ser Jorah the second. Would Reznak be the third? The Shavepate? Daario? Or will it be someone I would never suspect, Ser Barristan or Grey Worm or Missandei?” – (Daenerys I, ADWD)

The previous parts of the prophecy are about things Daenerys must do, so there's no reason for the third part to be any different. Plus, she's already been betrayed more than three times by multiple people. It seems clear that Daenerys will be the one doing the betraying. The clearest hint that its Daenerys being the betrayer is clearly spelled out in Daenerys X of DWD when she talks to a vision of Viserys.

"Only when you woke the dragon. I loved you."
“You sold me. You betrayed me.”
"No. You were the betrayer. You turned against me, against your own blood. They cheated me..."

This is a fitting conclusion to Daenerys' arc in DWD. The whole book she is paranoid and thinking about how to achieve peace and avoid conflict, but in this chapter she realizes she must embrace her true nature of Fire and Blood, and that it really is herself that is the betrayer. Her whole arc is about starting as an indecisive innocent girl and becoming an assertive conqueror.
The treason she will know for blood was Viserys. What's interesting is that Viserys says that she turned against her own blood, meaning the treason was not to get blood, but the one betrayed was her blood.
The treason she will know for gold seems to have not happened yet. Daenerys will commit treason against someone that represents gold or where gold plays a significant role. She will need gold to go to Westeros. Gold wins wars. I suspect it could be Tyrion or whoever ends up being her Master of Coin. It could also be someone in Qarth such as Quaithe or Xaro.
The treason she will know for love means Daenerys will betray someone she loves or she will betray someone else for her love. It definitely relates to Jon. Many say what happened in the show could occur, in which Daenerys burns King's Landing. Maybe she promises Jon she won't, but she does anyways. Another possibility is Daenerys may willingly sacrifice herself to stop the whitewalkers. Maybe she knows she is Nissa Nissa and bares her chest for Jon. Maybe she promises Jon that she will not sacrifice herself, but she does anyways to save him and the realm.

I am selling my entire personal collection. 95% of these were purchased new by me. Immediately after purchase I put them into the plastic protectors and haven't removed them since. None are heavily damaged (bending, major dents, multiple large scratches, etc.). There may be tiny dents, scratches, and the odd spine slash here and there. When you are ready to purchase I will let you know if I see any noticeable damage, however minor or major.
 
These are all used and opened and none contain the digital code or j-card. The vast majority contain all the original discs but a few might be missing the regular blu-ray. Most discs have never been played but I have watched a few once or twice. No issues while playing any of them.
 
I will ship for free via Media Mail. If you would prefer I ship using First Class or something else we can work out an extra fee. I would prefer to use PayPal F&F but will accept G&S if you insist. I will ship with the plastic protector (or with the slipcover that originally came with the SteelBook) and I will ship securely in a box with lots of bubble wrap (see picture below).

Prices are somewhat firm but it's hard to say what a lot of these are worth so feel free to make an offer. The more you buy the better deal I can give you. 10% off (possibly more) if you buy 2 and it only goes up from there. I would prefer to keep most of the collections together for now but could sell individually for the right price.

Is kinda weird to me just how irrelivent to the story the zonai are, Rauru and Mineru being zonai is barely relevant to the story at all, them being sages and Rauru being the first king is what's important and if they were hylian nothing changes. The zonai are purely an aesthetic element to the story and their near extinction (and then extinction) is pretty much irrelivent as well.
I have a fun little origin story for the zonai that would add some thematic weight to their disappearance. To start, the zonai civilisation did not begin in the sky, it began in the depths. The first big bit of backstory to the zonai is that they are actually an evolved form of the Mogma from Skyward Sword, subterranean furry creatures. The mogma were outcasts from the initial kingdom of hyrule founded after skyward sword, never being seen alongside the gods "favorite" races, the hylians, Gorons, Zora, and kokiri/koroks (which evolved from the kikwi), and they HATED this. The mogma resented the gods for being overlooked and were determined to rise to power on their own and become gods themselves. The discovery of zonite and it's incredible power led to the mogma rebranding themselves as the Zonai, building a civilisation that surpassed all others. The discovery (or creation) of the secret stones, likely deep underground, pushed them to even greater heights, and they decided it was more fitting that they should live above other races rather than below, so they raised sky islands and moved to them. The zonai of this time, much like Ganondorf, are driven by pride and lust for power. Before their fall, the zonai erased their history as the mogma and descended from the heavens as gods to rule over the peoples favored above them by the gods. What would have happened next, I'm not sure, but their pride would have led to their downfall and near-extinction, possibly a civil war or some Numenorian or Dwemer type situation, defying the gods or overreaching with magic. Only two zonai survived, determined to not repeat the same mistakes and used their great power only sparingly, locking away most of the secret stones. Rauru immediatley distrusted ganondorf because he saw in him the same arrogance that led to his own people's downfall.

at the Triceraton’s Island home King Triceradon “I was hoping Fox would visit us again, but why is the young royal wolf observing my grand aquarium?” Maku “Fox is staying at the sharpclaw citadel in Sauria for a month. So I just wanted to see the merfolk families in your grateful home…”
Farah “Guessing you are worried that they’re not feeling comfortable with their environment?” Maku “No, just wondering if they were remembering their previous land-dwelling experience. Also, I was thinking about how I joined Team StarFox when I first left my underwater home…”
King Triceradon “Well I want to know how Fox McCloud became a merman before he came to visit.” Maku “I remembered seeing him descending from the surface world and wearing a strange meshed suit. As I swam up to rescue the drowning Fox, I used my magic to turn him into a merman and his merged fishtail has torn open the meshed leggings.”
Farah “So what happened after you rescued Fox?” Maku “After he fainted from his transformation, I brought the unconscious McCloud back to Laguna and asked a friend to help bring the new arrival to the hotel and remove the meshed suit that he’s wearing.”
King Triceradon “What a rescue! So what happened next?” Maku “After removing the meshed suit from his body, we safely placed an unconscious merman Fox on the bed and then I swam to a chair nearby to wait for him to awaken. Moments later, he regained consciousness and wondering what happened.”
Farah “Seems like he was confused about being a merfur.” Maku “Well maybe he was a little concerned… anyway after introducing to each other and chatting about the artifact, I helped Fox to swim and showed him the underwater city before going to the palace.”
King Triceradon “Was it hard for Fox to swim with his new tail?” Maku “He had a difficult time keeping up, but later found himself swimming with ease!” Farah “Fox was always feeling stubborn when figuring things out and then finding out what was wrong. So what happened next?”
Maku “After touring around the city, I led Fox to the palace and he bravely met my father while asking about the stolen artifact. Then after a while, Fox explained about his team and the exciting missions that gave my father an idea.” King Triceradon “Guessing he sees you lighting up with curiosity.”
Farah “I’m guessing that the king was really worried about you and decided to let you go beyond the surface world.” Maku “Yes, I always get scolded for exploring beyond the kingdom’s boundaries. But when meeting Fox McCloud, he had a great conversation and was able to trust me.”
King Triceradon “So what happened after listening to Fox’s stories?” Maku “My father had asked Fox to let me join StarFox after having his teammate retrieve the stolen artifact. So after swimming up to the surface world, the blue vixen brought the artifact back from the corrupted mayor.”
Farah “I’ve heard of blackmailing deals, but seems like the mayor made a dark bargain with a seawitch!” Maku “Yeah, they really ticked off my father when he noticed something was missing…” King Triceradon “So after Fox’s beloved brought the artifact, what happened next?”
Maku “After the task is completed, my father turned Fox back into a bipedal which he embarrassingly grabbed his folded uniform from his teammate’s hand. Not always a first time that a naked bipedal feels embarrassment!” Farah “I still felt shocked when my clothes fell off before transforming into a mermaid…”
King Triceradon “Enough from getting off topic, what happened next?” Maku “After Fox is reunited with his beloved, my father has decided to let me go and join StarFox. Somehow he has conceded his struggle to keep me safe.” Farah “Almost sounds familiar of a movie that I watched before.”
Maku “So after I changed myself to a bipedal, I hugged my father by saying goodbye and boarded into Fox’s starfighter before heading to Subspace Headquarters.” King Triceradon “And since you came to visit, you’ve been feeling homesick and depressed about your family!”
Farah “Maybe you could stay here for a few days while interacting with the merfolk in my husband’s Grand Aquarium…” Maku “I don’t know... my older brother is back at StarFox HQ and my teammates would be worried about me.” King Triceradon “I was going to contact Andorf about our idea…”
Farah “We would be your godparents and the servants could prepare a guest bedroom for you. Think of it like a second Laguna kingdom!?” Maku “I’ll need to think about taking up your offer, and maybe I’ll bring my older brother for a visit…”

Okay, so at the start you're told to go get the three shrines on the great sky island. When you do so you are then able to open the door to the temple of time. Now, when I first played, I had no context for what I saw inside the temple, but now I realize a few things. Firstly, we see one of the secret stones, more specifically Zelda's own secret stone, on the altar ahead. Only this one is translucent. It's like at the end of each temple when you find a secret stone, only this one isn't physical and white, it's translucent and gold. Similar to the other stones, when you interact with this one you're teleported to that weird aetherial spirit world where you see sand circles and a symbol in the clouds in the back. This is you interacting with Zelda as the sage of time and I had no idea of that the first time and by the time I got to the sages I had completely forgot about this encounter with Zelda at the temple of time. When you meet her she extends her hand to you and you grasp it, just like with the modern sages. You then see a golden sparkle effect, the same as the different colored sparkle effects of the sages, light up in her arm and then travel from it to your arm and light up your arm that color. Then the middle part of the arm turns from gold to filled out green and instead of getting an avatar, we get Zelda's own time power. We see her use recall in the story and we gain that ability
So we actually start our adventure down in Hyrule with Zelda's sage power already added to us!
So I was thinking of all this and thought "well that makes no sense!". I mean, Zelda's flying around outside the temple of time right now as the light dragon. How in the world could her spirit be here and how did we interact with her stone?! She swallowed it to become a dragon. It doesn't make sense to see a random projection of her secret stone and she herself when she's supposed to be completely gone from the world right now. But then I got to thinking. Zelda had two powers. She had both Sonia's time powers, recall, and she had Rauru's power of light. Her stone is said by Mineru to amplify her time power specifically, but by the end of her time in the founding era she no longer has a use for that power because she no longer intends to use it to return to the future somehow. Her need at that time is for a sacred power strong enough to destroy the demon king. To bathe the master sword in that power. So she swallows her stone with the intent of maximizing her sacred power, not her time power. She becomes the light dragon and becomes a font of sacred power. My theory is that in choosing to amplify her sacred power and become the light dragon, she may have forsaken her time power or it might have separated from her and then link absorbs it into his hand. Zelda is no longer there and Link is able to use Zelda's own sage power. He doesn't summon an avatar and use it to use the power, it's his own power. In a sense Link may actually be a sage of time for the duration that he has her powers, just not amplified by a stone so he has the base amount of power
I've also thought about the end cutscene where Rauru and Sonia seem to channel their powers through your arm to save Zelda somehow, transforming her back from a dragon to a hylian again. I think maybe Link was using recall on her and that Rauru and Sonia powered Link's recall up to be able to recall her to her state in the founding era. Complete with her stone on her necklace again. It doesn't really say how Zelda was transformed back, it's just suggested that they channeled their abilities through your arm, but recall makes the most sense I'd say. Though there's no recall effect or sound in the cutscene so that's just speculation. Instead there's just vague light

So i always land at that island between kenjetsu and mega city. They removed the katanas and ODM (its 50/50 now at best) so that slows stuff down a bit....they also removed bounty boards. Does all this stuff affect the pacing that much or is the game slower for everyone?
Im wondering if its the sweatier crew playing now since its the end of the season (my end games/final 10 have been lasting a lot longer recently too)? Before I would get 3-4 kills easy (2 of those were usually bots, not gonna lie....because ive kinda noticed less bots around my drop) pretty much every game with my good game being 7-9 kills (hard stuck on getting DD kill games regularly LOL). Now im usually sitting on 1-2 kills heading to the final 10-15. Engagements just seem to be wayyyyy down for me. Anyone else?

Adrift in the cold, endless void is the Ooze: a primordial being that has existed for time immemorial. It is a bottomless ocean of mystery and wonder to the mortals that walk on the surface above.
On the crust surrounding the liquid core of the planet are the Living Peaks: the self-proclaimed masters of the world.
Below the Peaks are the humans, or Ungrots as the Peaks refer to them as, who go about their daily lives mostly unaware of the massive game of cosmic chess they take part in.
Long ago, the Ungrots struck out from under the Peaks' direct influence, and with the leadership of Ahualt the Warrior King headed east to find a land in which they could be free.
This led them to the Dorshan Plateau, where humans would found successful cities to push them into a new age of technology.
While the Dorshans strode the line between Peakish influence and their own free will, other Ungrots were not so lucky,
The Hanugali hordes of the Swaying Steppe fell squarely under the influence of the Boulderian Monks, and were staunch followers of the Peakish teachings.
The Kirioy of the jungled valley in the east rested in the low, Ooze-rich soil. Their relationship with the Deep Heaven they called El-Tra was close indeed.
Some Ungrots ceased to be so at all, shedding their mortal skin for strong, Peakish stone. These rocky beings were called the Petrifundi, and their immortal voices preached the sermons of the Living Peaks.
What may await you on the continent of Pikeya?
Important Information:
The Living Peaks is run in SLiM, a new RPG system that many of you may not have encountered before. It is in alpha, so I recommend that those who are looking for a heavily refined experience should look elsewhere. We run into "bugs" and new situations every session, so prepare to be an instrumental part of this new game's development. (Your feedback is cherished greatly.)
One last note: I give a trigger warning to any and all that approach us. We are a rough bunch who don't take everything so seriously all the time. Join at your own peril, and prepare to have fun if you don't feel deterred by this warning.

Sorry I've been gone for a bit, I had a storyline to finish up and a few bad bouts of writer's block, but I managed to get to this finished up! Here's Season 4, eps 1-13! Be sure to leave some feedback!
Season 4 (March-April):

1. Truth: First change (shared with Lies): Lukanette/Adrigami are clearly established to have been a thing over multiple weeks/a month, with the NY special being the second(?) time they’re truly established. I doubt it’s truly satisfactory, but stuff still has to work within this specific season/the larger narrative, so… eh. Second change: Andrew Hendrol is present for the concert on the Liberty (“I might have to challenge you guys to a battle of the bands one day.”) and slips off to transform into Dragonus just before Luka arrives akumatized. He absorbs Truth/Eyebeam’s (renamed Light Eye) powers then buggers off to appear later in Lies. Third change: Shadow Moth’s design. While I personally like it, it wasn’t terribly popular. So here's a slight redesign: the main body can stay the same with its purple overcoat and black lapels but make the purple a bit darker and the lapel is the same as it was on Hawk Moth. His cowl is now a chromed blue with a peacock feather “eye” right on the forehead instead of his Zuko monocle. His skin turns indigo like Mayura’s and his eyes are like Duusu’s, but more malevolent. The biggest change to his costume is the function of the tailcoat itself: its tail is like a male peacock’s train, long and vibrant blue with pinkish feather eyes in the back, and it opens and spreads in reaction to his emotions. For example, if he’s pleased or angry, it opens up and spreads out behind him, and if he’s exasperated/neutral, it folds back down. Fourth change: Marinette’s transformation into Ladybug is fixed this time around.
   
2. Lies: First change: Marinette isn’t as fan-girly over the Adrien life showing, instead wondering if he’s doing alright with his schedule. Tikki and the others assure her that he’s probably used to it, and she doesn’t have to be so worried about it. Of course, this doesn’t dissuade her nerves, especially not when the modeling session the show films has Lila in it. Second change: The art room scene gets a couple added lines of dialogue (“Adrien. Our parents raised us for perfection, but we don’t need that. We’re already perfect. We’re perfect. Just show me your truth.” “But… I’m not sure what that truth is.” “Let me show you.”) before their class starts. Third change: the Hendrols are present for Prince Ali’s birthday party – it’s why Dragonus skedaddled from the fight – and Andrew manages to hide and transform without anyone noticing, avoiding Lies’ sphere. Even Dragonus can’t risk touching the sphere, even if his cravings for power – much like a vampire – don’t go away.
   
3. Gang of Secrets: First change: Tikki attempts to console Marinette after she talks about worrying about Shadow Moth and Dragonus (“Well, Duusu had always been a bit chaotic. I could imagine that he might be causing Shadow Moth a problem or two. As for Dragonus… he can’t have it much better than you right now, right?”), which cuts to Andrew Hendrol and the Dark kwamis all having a dance party to unknown song that sounds suspiciously similar to “Hips Don’t Lie”. Second change: Instead of the girls just barging up, Tom and Sabine give them permission to go up and check on Marinette. “She hasn’t been answering for us, maybe she will for you.” And the dollhouse doesn’t break from Rose taking off the roof. Rather, Rose trips on something – maybe a roll of thread or a screwdriver or loose paper – and knocks into it. Same result, though, but Alya rightfully calls Mari out: “Okay, Marinette, something is really wrong with you. I’m sorry we can in uninvited, but your parents said we needed to check up on you, and I’m sorry Rose broke the house, but it was a complete accident and you’re blowing up over it. There’s more going on here than just boy trouble, isn’t there? We’re your friends, girl, we want to help.” To which Mari replies: “Maybe I don’t want your help, or your friendship anymore. Get out!” Third change: Dragonus swoops in during the fight and knocks around the Gang of Secrets himself after LB catches Lady Wifi, which inadvertently gives LB time to talk LW into rejecting her powers. Fourth change: Rena Rouge doesn’t look as off in this episode, where her skin was a few tones too light. Dunno if it was intentional, but that still could be fixed. The episode ends as normal.
   
4. Mr. Pigeon 72: First change: a biggie. Alya acknowledges Lila’s number of akumatizations and says, “You know, even if you couldn’t tell me about Lila’s lying about being BFFs with Ladybug, you still could’ve told me – or anyone, for that matter – about how she threatened you in the bathroom. No one threatens my BFF with impunity.” I know a lot of people were upset with Alya’s passiveness over the whole Lila situation, but this line will have impact throughout the rest of the rework. Second change: I found this out on a whim, but it turns out city pigeons are a kind of dove, so Bob Roth wasn’t entirely wrong. Fun. Third change: Andrew Hendrol is watching the evil pigeons transform people outside and figures out he can’t go out, transformed or not, without getting touched. Vorrath: “When has that stopped you before?” Andrew: “I’ve got it.” Cut to later, he invades the fight between the illusions and Mr. Pigeon in a giant mech made out of a sentimonster that he teleported into so he could fight. Overkill doesn’t begin to cover this guy. Fourth change: I’m tempted to change Ladybug’s Lucky Charm suit to her permanent one, but if I did, certain episodes wouldn’t have as much oomph later… hmmm. For now, her suit can stay the same.
   
5. Psycomedian: Honestly don’t know what to do with this one, it’s a fairly solid little episode; funny, love square-y, gives Gabriel some background and Cat Noir some spotlight. I guess I can really just add Dragonus to the mix: Psycomedian tries his emotion-gimmick on him and he no-sells it (there is a lot, and I mean a lot of lore behind Dragonus/Andrew Hendrol, so I think it would be easier to link my original fics with him up to the point I’m at for posting and you can explore his background there, as well as his powers) then proceeds to quickly skirmish with Angrybug: “There’s the fire I sensed when I absorbed your powers! Why don’t you let loose like this a little more? Finish the job!” (Again, lore makes sense if you read my main fics, I’m sorry, but he’s such a big character in my works that I don’t know how to condense it down. I’ll try but expect that later.)
   
6. Furious Fu: First change: I’m really, really confused as to why Fu and Marianne are not referred to as husband/wife or at least married. They would’ve gotten married, right? It’s not a thing that I or the fandom seem to be upset about, I’m just super confused, and if anyone is willing to enlighten me, I’d be thankful. For now, Fu and Marianne are a couple, husband and wife, like they should’ve been since Backwarder or before. Second change: During the fight between LB/CN and Su-Han, guess who shows up but Dragonus. Su-Han freezes for a moment, which gives LB/CN time to snatch the Miracle Box, but Su-Han tries to pull it back. SH: “Ladybug! You did not tell me the Dark Dragon Miraculous was in Paris!” CN: “Sounds like you never asked!” Dragonus: sarcastically “Aw, now you’ve hurt my feelings.” Draws sword and points it at SH. “So you’re the Celestial Guardian I heard about. Head honcho, I’m guessing.” SH turns his aggression towards Dragonus. SH: “You and your kind are a blighted spot amongst the history of the Miraculous, demon!” Lunges. “Heavenly Retribution! The Righteous Will of the Justiciar Breaks the World’s Evil!” Dragonus dodges most of the attacks and matches a few of them, but Su-Han lands one good punch to the stomach. Dragonus: “growls Alright, then. You aren’t as much of a pushover as they are… or the Guardians at the Temple were. If we’re going to talk in metaphors, here's mine.” Flies away from SH and presses center of sword, opening a compartment and pulls out a purple pendant on a chain, emblazoned with a stylized T-rex face. “The grand unity of dinosaurs and dragons humbles the arrogant monk. Rexx, Vorrath, Unify!” (See here for appearance: https://archiveofourown.org/works/42733506/chapters/114090748 use ctrl-F and search "Thero"). “Thero Dragon flies as the Dark Guardian!” This reveals to everyone present that Dragonus has more of the Dark Miraculouses at his disposal and subsequent “oh crap” from Su-Han reveals how serious it is. By this point, LB/CN ran off, Thero Dragon taunts Su-Han and flies off, then doesn’t return until the battle with Furious Fu in the stadium, where he absorbs FF’s powers and briefly fights LB/CN before flying off again, proclaiming that “You haven’t seen the last of Thero Dragon!”. Episode ends as normal, but Su-Han will appear again this rewrite before Ephemeral.
   
7. Sole Crusher: Okay, major change time again. I know a lot – almost utterly ridiculously so – of people do/did not like Zoe in the slightest. But, since I’m trying to stay fairly… fair to the source material (while adding new and interesting concepts), we are including Zoe, only her introduction is going to be quite different. Zoe has come to Paris because her time at her boarding school was cut short due to complete and total bullying, and her own father, a man we know as Robert Lee from Audrey, is too distant to think of another arrangement within NY and sends her to Paris to be with her mother. So, Zoe is going to be quite sullen/angry with her situation, and this becomes apparent when Marinette runs into her. Marinette apologizes profusely, but Zoe gives her a glare and basically tells her to bugger off. Marinette, though, recognizes something is wrong and pries just a little more (and it’s framed as Marinette trying to keep Zoe from attracting Shadow Moth’s attention while simultaneously trying to help), and Zoe reveals a bit of what’s happened – including the one friend – but not the full story nor which family she’s living with. Marinette, being the all-but-Lila-loving hero she is, preps a bag for the new girl. “Even if life has been bitter, it helps to have something sweet!” Marinette says. Zoe gives her a strange look. “What’s your angle? Everyone has one. Why’re you helping me?” Zoe asks, confused and suspicious. Marinette blinks in surprise and shrugs. “It’s the right thing to do, especially when you’re in a new place. I gave you my number if you’d like to chat.” Zoe blinks twice, clearly surprised by the generosity and seeming genuine nature of the girl in front of her. “Okay, then. I guess I should give you mine so… you know.” Marinette holds out her hand. “So I don’t lose it.” The first step to breaking Zoe’s rough exterior has been taken, but said rough exterior still persists when Zoe arrives at the hotel. Another major change: Audrey, while trying to be more supportive of Chloe, still has her preferred child, and that preferred child is Zoe, because, and this will cause drama later, “Zoe is one of only four people in my life who don’t grovel at my feet.” Chloe walks into the lounge/dining hall and hears this and immediately goes nuclear, but her rant is cut short by Zoe snapping at her to “Shut your mouth, you little brat.” Chloe is, of course, horrifically offended, but Audrey breaks it up before it escalates and sends them to get to know each other better… which, given this Zoe, goes about as well as expected. She snaps at all of Chloe’s rules, throws the diamond heels, and when Chloe calls her a “horrible half-of-a-sister”, Zoe throws it right back at her. This back-and-forth continues to school, where Zoe doesn’t bend to Chloe’s whims, but instead blows up at her again – which inadvertently does two things: it proves that Zoe isn’t like Chloe, but she’s quote-unquote “bad” in other ways. Of course, someone – Andrew Hendrol – sees this whole debacle and comments, “Such a powerful response to Chloe’s bratty self, such a temper. Oh, yesss, I like her.” There’s still “scaring Damocles” and “Marinette/girls talk about Zoe and Chloe”, but it’s less of Chloe’s influence and more “wow she’s scary but I bet Chloe had something to do with it.” Marinette and Zoe’s text still goes through, and Chloe still snaps at her for texting Marinette, but Zoe just snaps at her. “It’s none of your business, Chloe.” Chloe, on the other hand, makes it her business and goes back to her notebook, eventually landing on cockroaches in the locker (reused material, really?) to punish Marinette, and Zoe actually stumbles, a haunted look in her eyes. She staggers out of the room (taking the heels with her) and out to the roof, prepping to throw the shoes away in anger (perhaps a metaphor for something more disturbing) before losing the will to and she just breaks, resting her head against the bar and starts to cry. Andre comes up to her, they talk, and Zoe reveals her original dream of acting. “I’m good at it, but then everyone expected a different Zoe and they pressured me and I broke and now I can’t think of acting or anything without getting angry… I don’t like being angry. Not with the people who don’t deserve it, not with Chloe, not with anyone… I just want to be me, but I’m scared that the angry one is me…” Andre sighs. “You know, it might be good for you to… put a little bit of time between your past and now. Choose what you want to put in the Dream Cellar, and once you’ve… adjusted, you can come get it. Or you can leave it. The choice is yours.” Zoe’s akumatization stays the same, the general akuma battle remains the same, except for Thero Dragon Siphoning off Sole Crusher’s powers and stomping a few civilians for big kaiju battle time while taunting Chloe (“You can run, but I know I’m in your nightmares!”), which provides LB/CN enough time to find the akumatized sneakers and break them. The barge scene is a little different: Zoe explains what happened, and while her backstory with the crowds and roaches hasn’t changed too much, she adds, “I had one friend, but even she wasn’t around very much… not enough to help me when I needed it. I don’t blame her, she had a rough childhood, too, but I still pent that up. I’m sorry you had to see my outbursts. I get it if you don’t want to be my friend.” Of course, huggy happiness still ensues, the Bourgeois confrontation still happens, though Chloe’s basis for her demands is “If she stays here, she’ll make me stress out and ruin my perfect me!” and her threat is to crush you like your NY classmates did, while Audrey just rolls her eyes. “Chloe, quit being melodramatic. I understand Zoe’s not been the best sister – which is a discussion we will have later – but she’s not going back to New York now. I’m certainly not going to be responsible for her return fares.” The episode ends with Andre asking Zoe to “Call me Dad. I know your father is… distant, and I don’t know if I can replace him, but-” Zoe hugs him. “Thanks, Dad. Promise me you’ll make the choice to take your past out of the cellar, too.” The episode ends the same, with a much happier Zoe thanking Marinette for everything as a photo album (with dates so we can at least see it was a week or two between this and Queen Banana!) plays across the screen.
   
8. Queen Banana: First change: Chloe’s “half-of-a-sister” bit when she bursts into the art room is now “Giving the lead role to my half-of-a-sister who just came out of nowhere a week ago?!”, and all of the talk of going back to New York is replaced with snappy but ultimately toothless posturing about ruining her life. Zoe, of course, is having none of that and snaps back at her with “The only way you’re ruining this movie is if you pry it from our hands!” The art room scene ends the same way as in the original, but the scene in Bob Roth’s office is changed a little bit: Not as much mention of going back to New York and more mention of Chloe’s pride as she says “You said our hands, which apparently includes the producer’s hands, too. Oh, I love a good loophole!” Zoe is oddly okay with this and confidently whispers to the others “We just need to outlast her, trust me.” Second change: Andrew Hendrol is part of the filming crew – “Live soundtrack design” he calls it, while Chloe calls it useless – and escapes the ‘enchanted sleep’ part of the filming, and is shown to get increasingly more annoyed with Chloe, to the point of risking his secret identity as Thero Dragon by offering to play the fire-breathing dragon suggested by Alya (“Lemme do it, I’ll knock that role out of the park, just let me actually blast her with fire.”). Third change: After Marinette’s rousing soapbox speech, Zoe pats her on the shoulder. “See what I meant about outlasting her?” Fourth change: Not to be outdone, Everett Hendrol, Andrew’s father (who is also present in the theater unlike Gabriel, showcasing the closer relationship Everett has with his son than Gabriel does with his), has also chipped in some pocket change (an amount of several thousand euros in Europe money I guess), so the film is entirely cut off from the city’s funding and Chloe’s interference, and when Chloe runs off, Everett darkly chuckles once as Andrew calls out “Cry me a river, Queen Banana!” (Everett is aware of Chloe’s antics and the Hendrols as a family have no sympathy for those, especially the rich, who act like fools). Fifth change: Again, Chloe’s revenge plan isn’t to get Zoe sent back to NY, she’s going to crush Zoe in a way only she can come up with… which is banana. Sixth change: There’s less of a “my fault” moment from Zoe and that weird “promise” bit is gone, now it’s just Zoe deciding to face down her sister and give her a reality check. “You want to know why we waited until you were gone to shoot the movie? Why we talked Gabriel Agreste into funding it? It’s because no one could stand your bratty behavior! Not because we hate you, not because anyone turned against you, but because you couldn’t swallow your pride and work as part of the team. If this is how you acted as part of Ladybug’s team when you were Queen Bee, it’s no wonder you were kicked off!” Queen Banana gets infuriated, Ladybug saves Zoe, they scooter off into the subway, where Ladybug commends Zoe’s bravery, but definitely winces a little bit regarding Queen Bee. “Chloe, for all her faults, wasn’t terrible as Queen Bee, but she really had attachment issues to the Miraculous, even after I tried… and failed to explain to her that her secret identity was compromised. But I doubt I’ll have that issue with you. Zoe Lee, (insert Miraculous speech here).” Seventh change: Once Queen Banana’s banana gun is glued up and she realizes she’s about to lose and runs, guess what, Thero Dragon drops in front of her, triggering Chloe’s trauma from the Miracle Queen incident. Thero Dragon Siphons off Queen Banana’s banana powers for the fun of it, then activates the power of the Dark T-rex Miraculous, Silver Tongue, which manifests as a purple blast of energy that, if it hits a human target, allows the T-rex holder to manipulate the minds of their target… which Thero Dragon uses to break down all of Chloe’s confidence and restraints, all the while tormenting her with things like “Your mother hates you,” “Your so-called friends despise you,” and “You’re utterly ridiculous.” Ladybug and Cat Noir start driving him back, but he managed to do enough damage as he needed. “I don’t know why you bother defending a traitor,” he says. “She wouldn’t do the same for you.” Queen Banana by now has fallen back, crying, and freeing her from Shadow Moth is an act of mercy, but Chloe still refuses the Magical Charm based on her own (self-nurtured) hatred for Ladybug and Vesperia, both for replacing her and failing to save her from Thero Dragon. Eighth change: Chloe, in her anger, swings at Zoe when she declares her hate, only for Zoe to catch it way too fast and lower Chloe’s fist while she gives her speech, and once Chloe takes the Charm and the akuma is repelled, Andre steps in and reprimands her for trying to hit Zoe, even going so far as to… “Chloe Bourgeois, your behavior is becoming completely unacceptable. You are embarrassing yourself and your family. Give me your phone. You are hereby grounded for a week.” Chloe looks shocked. “WHAT?!?” Andre is stern. “I’ve failed as a father. I should’ve tried to keep your behavior in check when you acted out, and I see I’ve failed terribly. There are so many people we will have to apologize to, especially your classmates for everything you’ve done to them.” The episode ends with Marinette and Tikki wondering if this new approach to Chloe’s behavior will do anything good.
   
9. Gabriel Agreste: First change: Shadow Moth’s monologue is merged with Gabriel’s scene in the mausoleum under the mansion, first with Gabriel with his back to Emilie’s coffin before he turns to face it. Second change: When Nathalie offers Gabriel half of her sandwich, he initially refuses (“You need your strength.”) and she insists, then he crumbles (“You’ll need your strength, too.” “…Alright. Thank you.”). Third change: Andrew Hendrol is not present at the art-room fairy-tale-comparison blah thing, but Zoe’s response to Marinette’s question changes to “My mother has been attempting to treat her kids equally. Unfortunately, that means when Chloe got grounded for a week, I had to miss out on the dinner party. Had I known this was gonna happen, I would’ve put up more of a fight.” Also because of this, Zoe is NOT in Marinette’s room, but she is patched into the whole conversation thanks to Max and Markov. Fourth change: Audrey Bourgeois is throwing glares at Andre (apparently over punishing Chloe) and takes note of the solitary gold-trimmed black mask shaped like a lion’s head. “Don’t tell me he’s coming. You invited Hendrol?” “I had to. Otherwise he’d invite himself and ruin everything unexpectedly. At least now we can expect it.” Continuing the trend, after the Tsurugis arrive at the party, a shiny silver sedan rolls into the front gate, and Everett and Andrew Hendrol step out. Everett is in a pure white suit, in complete contrast to the rest of the party, and the hostility in the air is palpable as the car mogul and his son enter the foyer. “Gabriel.” “Everett. I would… like to welcome you to the party. Though the dress code specified darker clothes for all attendees.” “Really? I didn’t notice that, but even if I had, my black suits are all being cleaned. This is all I had.” “Indeed. Your mask, as requested.” Everett weighs the black lion mask in his hand. “Well, it’s not quite the cut obsidian I had hoped, but given your work, I shouldn’t be surprised.” Gabriel is imperceptibly seething. “I must ask you to stow your device-” “Neither of us will do that, and your little scrambler isn’t going to work on it, either. Your tricks, Gabriel, have been done by men greater than you a thousand times. And I’m the only one still standing.” Of course, when Chloe and Marinette sneak into the ballroom, everyone is giving Everett Hendrol a wide berth as he’s drinking something. Sixth change: The transformation into Shadow Moth from civilian form is still “Nooroo, Duusu, Unify!” I always hated that Dual Metamorphosis nonsense. Seventh change: Andrew Hendrol is fiddling on his phone – the only one that works, but Chloe can’t take it bc he already slapped her hand – when people start to leave Adrien’s room. Eighth change: Gabriel’s threat to Felix is more explicitly “I just need to snap my fingers, and you will be thrown out of here and I will tell everyone the truth about what you did and what you are. Think of your mother, Felix. She’d be devastated to see her only son hauled off for stealing from me… or the Hendrols. Everett is easy enough to provoke, and all I’d have to do is blame whatever I do on you. He’d personally see your life become pure torment.” Ninth change: Thero Dragon pounces on the Collector and Siphons from him, chuckling darkly as he does. “Clever plan, Shadow Moth, clever plan, indeed. But you aren’t fooling anyone.” Tenth change: We get a second epilogue: after Gabriel’s scene, we cut to a scene in the Hendrol mansion. Everett Hendrol is sitting at his desk, watching a chess board on the surface. The white pieces are miniature statues of him and other people, including Andrew, the black pieces are mini statues of Paris’s elite and relations: Gabriel as the king, Emilie queen, Tomoe and Amelie as bishops, Audrey and Andre as knights, Bob Roth and one unknown person as castles, and the pawns are their kids (Adrien/Chloe/Kagami/Felix/XY and three blank ones). The pieces are all at rest like the beginning of a game, but the queen (Emilie) and one castle (as yet unknown) are lying down. Everett just smirks, moves one of the white pieces a space forward, then a black piece. Everett Hendrol declared war.
   
10. Mega Leech: First change: Polymouse or Manimouse for Mylene’s super-name? I want public opinion on this. Second change: Andrew Hendrol is present at the “Stop Project Oxygen” rally and reveals a bit more depth to his character (and potentially a motivation for Thero Dragon): he is very conscientious about the environment, and he becomes increasingly annoyed with the ad and brutally picks it apart. “Two of my best friends’ parents work for the Hendrol Motors Advertising Division and this is exactly what they said a bad ad looks like. Also, Paris’s investors are brainless idiots who barely know how to stand up for themselves, let alone save the planet.” And he snaps at Chloe. “Wasting water? You mean like you do by existing? And don’t get your dad in this, my dad would destroy him.” All in all, he sides with Mylene first. “I’m getting my dad to counter-fund this scheme, he’s already gone to war.” Andrew then leaves right before the Minidiktators show up to transform into Thero Dragon. “After all, they can’t get me if my ears are covered.” Thero Dragon is just brutally attacking Mega Leech by himself… revealing a scary level of contempt for sentimonsters. Third change: The Minidiktator possessing Cat Noir is expelled through his real ear, not the cat one. Fourth change: Ladybug’s suit doesn’t weirdly swap between Lucky Charm suit and normal near the end, it just stays normal. The rest of the episode… ends as normal. Even that scene at the end.
    
11. Guiltrip: I don’t really have too many problems with this episode, nor do I really remember any complaints about (though I’m sure I’ll be corrected in the comments), the most I can really think of is adjusting it to fit my current ideas. So… First change: Juleka speaks clearly and no one’s parroting her words. Second change: While the first half of the episode plays out the same, Andrew Hendrol is noticeably absent, but once the second half starts, he shows up and he’s very unhappy/unpleasant to be around. It’s explained that he had to take a day off for stomach flu (and, little lore bit, he’s always very temperamental after a bout of sickness). As such, he doesn’t have much in the way of patience for the second half’s antics, but unlike Chloe, he’s quietly stewing and not drawing too much attention to himself. This extends to the later fight within Guiltrip (after he leaves the science lab when he realizes the only ones left are him, Chloe, Sabrina and Lila), as his negative emotions as Thero Dragon end up being so bad that Guiltrip gets hurt by them… and he flies off the handle once a bubble pops against him. He cools off eventually, but yeah. Third change: No animation errors. God, this episode was a doozy.
    
12. Crocoduel: First change: Luka acknowledges that Marinette hasn’t been around since Zoe first joined the group instead of not seeing her since their breakup. Gotta love the writers forgetting characters being in places at times ugh. Second change: Fix the animation errors. Third change: About half the partygoers (Mylene/Ivan/Rose/Nino/Alya) know that Jagged Stone is the twins’ father. Fourth change: The sky doesn’t immediately become overcast the moment Jagged and Anarka are akumatized. That was just weird. Fifth change: When Cat Noir complains that he and Ladybug don’t have wings, Thero Dragon flies over them and taunts “But I do!”, he flies up, Siphons from Guitar Villain and Captain Hardrock, then pits them further against each other for giggles. Then he reappears to Siphon off Purple Tigress’s power. Sixth change: The Tiger Miraculous transformation phrase is “Paint my Stripes!” not “Stripes On!”. The episode ends otherwise normally.
    
13. Optigami: First change: As an extra precaution to keep potential suspicion from Ladybug away, Gabriel makes sure Audrey invites Adrien’s entire class plus two extra invitations that go to Luka and Kagami. Second change: The first elevator bit with the entire class is stupid, so it’s getting changed to “Andrew Hendrol (who is in the elevator) rolls his eyes and punches the close button while Marinette tries to avoid Alya”. Third change: Andrew Hendrol slips out just before Audrey gets akumatized and discreetly transforms into Thero Dragon, and he immediately picks up on the smell of Shadow Moth in the building. He starts prowling around the building, waiting for the right moment to strike. This moment comes when Style Queen is about to hit the elevator Marinette/Adrien are trapped in, just before Shadow Moth calls her off. He blindsides her with his clamp weapon, then disarms her (literally) with his sword before Voyaging to the floor below, cackling the whole time. Fifth change: When Ladybug realizes that “Nino” is actually a sentimonster and calls out Shadow Moth, “Nino” starts laughing as his eyes glow gold and his body starts to deform into a monstrous shape. Thero Dragon’s voice starts echoing out of it. “And to think you almost got revealed because of an ally’s actions, Ladybug,” he said. “First the Turtle brought out without your explicit orders, then what? Someone betrays you for the Miracle Box? The only way to protect what you hold dear is this: ally yourself with me, and I can grant you access to powers you could only dream of. Consider my offer, because if the trend continues, you might lose more than just your privacy because of a fake butterfly.” Ladybug runs off to get the Turtle Miraculous Cataclysmed. Sixth change: Marinette is a little shaken by the end of the episode and some of her words are a little more barbed than intended, to which she apologizes and offers a solution to the problem faced that day, giving Alya the Fox Miraculous full-time, but gives her a few rules to follow. “If I find out you broke one, I’m taking the Miraculous back. Understand?” The episode ends pretty much the same. Oh, and that phone in the Miracle Box container? It’s (a little clunkily) mentioned that Marinette created the one during a “random creation attempt” session with Alya.
    

So, yeah. Now that I've finished working on my main Dragonus storyline and summer's on the way, I might be able to get the second half (plus the halves of Season 5!) out relatively quickly. As I promised, here is the link to the main Dragonus storyline, I'm almost finished posting it all. It's a divergence from Season 3 with some concepts pulled from the NY special and Season 4/5, but all in all it's a pretty good read (I don't exactly redeem Chloe as much as punch her until she understands that she's been horrible but she definitely becomes better): https://archiveofourown.org/series/2798386
Give me feedback, please! Your feedback helps me make this better!

ARE YOU SITTING DOWN?

Things are spicy. How spicy you say? Mexican soap opera spicy.
Our fight continues with the King and his Lizard guardian, but things aren't really going in his favor. He's getting roughed up as our party focus most of their attention to him and not the Lizard guardian. With the fight going strong, the moral dilemma beings to arise. It seems like the King does have control of the energy cursing through this island. Killing him could doom the entire island. But if we kill the guardian, we basically hit the reset button on the world and whoever has the power can create the new world to their wishes. RIGHT?! Sounds like their fucked either way.
To sooth their minds, the wretched King interrupts their battle to lustfully offer riches, glory, respect, humanity and knowledge to our party; if they would only just bend the knee and do as he says...But our group sticks together and we reject the kings ploy. We resume battle and it gets pretty hairy. After delivering the king a hearty rough-up, he returns the pain and damage right back at them! Down on spell spots, low, very low on HP, book pervert and readers digest subscriber Fritz, calls twice to the heavens to rain down lightning on the King and with that the king is no more. The King is dead. Long Live The King.
The caves begin to shake violently. We find the Lizard guardian under his own freewill and none combative. He describes his purpose as holding back the great beast, but with the release of magic and energy, the undoing of all may have already begun. With that, we mercy kill the guardian, cos why not? We killed all his other friends! The font of magic, along with the guardian begin to lose their fiery red exteriors...the cave begins to dim, setting towards dark as the room turns cold....from above a black formless shape, slowly sweeps it's way down towards the font of magic....our party hears a woman's voice, Jedwyn's music in his head, is turned up to 11. This black void inhabits the font of magic and with black tentacles, reaches out and grabs the dead king, slowly crushing his body mass with it's tight grip, dragging it back into the font while expanding outwards into the room. The world shakes again.... Jedwyn, locks eyes with this formless feminine presence....and walks right into it's ooze....
​
Party roll to beat = 15

​
The void begins to take form...it looks like a dark angel...with ooze draped around itself...yes...this my friend is Dark Raimi Ooze... Carl 7 reaches out to the ooze....and upon contact, Carl 7 trips baaaaalllzzz. He sees the universe, but doesn't see Jedwyn, but knows he's alive somewhere.
Carl 7, Roll for Sanity 14 He feels weird...but that's about it.
The rest of the party just witnessed Jedwyn walk into the ooze, Carl 7, who touched the ooze, but to the group, looks like he just spaced out...and Fritz begins to reminisce about the dream the elders gave him about this quest...and things don't look so great. There is some bad ju ju going on here.. Fritz currently has in his possession, the soul orb that is Lindrick. Having gone through the kings notes before, Fritz is aware that the orbs were going to be used to control the great wyrm. BUT HOW?!
Carl 7, gives Fritz the nimdrite crowd that he took off the dead king. It sits on our gnomes head too large and funny looking. Just as Carl 7 was, Fritz is now in a semi-catatonic state...he feels eternity. Fritz feels powerful. He looks down and can see the spectral form of the island, the blood of the wyrm flowing beneath them and the giant wyrm itself glowing. Had it not been for Dark Raimi Ooze, Fritz feels like he could reach out and control the wyrm himself. Oh! He can also see Jedwyn, but it looks like he's trekking through high water with black ether all around him. Knowing that the physical obstruction is Dark Raimi Ooze, Fritz has only one course of action...
Fritz, casts call lightning 20 dmg on Dark Raimi Ooze Anger and screaming reverb through the cosmos in the semi-catanionic state that Fritz is in.
Barilla, Fumbles and Carl 7 all touch and link with Fritz. Friendship really does exist. The power courses from Fritz into our remaining party, allowing them to see what he sees. A face appears on the backdrop of what looks like the beginning of time. Lights and colours blaze by their heads, it's overwhelming.
Carl 7, Roll for Sanity 18 He feels weird...but that's about it.
Fumbles, Roll for Sanity 26 He feels weird...but that's about it.
Barilla, Roll for Sanity 9 Loses 4 sanity points, starts with 100.
Fritz, Roll for Sanity 23 He looks right back at the face, not phased at all
Jedwyn, Roll for Sanity 16 He feels weird...but that's about it.
​
The group suddenly feels unsafe and they begin to attack the black space that surrounds them. All hits land. (It gets a little wonky here I did my best to follow the dice)

Having control of the wrym, we notice the dark ooze is shrinking around them. It shrinks back into a human form and out pops Jedwyn.

Dark Raimi Ooze looks like it's melting into the font of magic and in the spectral world, we can see that Dark Raimi is trying to seep into the blood of the wyrm. Dark Raimi doesn't have enough power to control the wyrm, but we do sense Dark Raimi is trying to pull the wyrm down, out of the dimension.

Barilla, roll to control the wyrm like a ship 4
For a moment if feels like we go under water... and then there is no water...we are now on the back of the spectral wyrm, flying through space. We see the cosmos around us and then we hit a rock out in space and Fritz' crown falls off him, the orb he was carrying, falls out of his hand and smashes towards the ground. We look up and we are now standing in some kind of open field...the night sky is above us, but we are no longer floating in it...we are now back on the planet...or a planet...

THE END???

serana's adeventure. serama is a girl who is an orphen with no memmories of her life outside the church. she she suddenmly landed outside a church. it was very bizzare, really. she was at the age of 8 when she landed. as she looked at the hug walls above her. the wall of the church was a huge and long one. then one of the church's man heard a strange noise. it was the girl's scream. he then went to her rescue. eho'd there?! he said. one of the church preists said, baouklotz, don't be an idot! nobody goes beyond this church! get down here immediately! he said. but, preist--ther's a kid down there! what do you expect me to do?! those... ...monsters will geth her if i don't. well, it's not your concern! the preist said. if they get her, that's that! now, my silly son, get down there! the preist said. you shitty old man! i've never once listened to you, have i?! bouklotz jumed to the girls rescue. sigh...the preist said. my stubborn little son. hey girl! what's your name?! he asked. she couldn't here him since he was a bit far from her. i-i...me?! my name's...
i said... ...what's you naaaaaam?!! she didn't respond, beacuse she has no memmories of anything. she only knew that she could speak, walk, and all that. baoulotz took her as fast as he could. he then told the preist: this girl is special. i don't know why the you-know-who didn't get her. sigh... ...the preist said. after that, he introduced her to his adoptive family. hey, little girl? i'll introduce you to my not-blood-related family, 'kay? so just stay put. serana said, ok. with no emotions at all. hm...you'r one weird brat, you know? well, since you have no name at all, and no memmories, i'll just call you serana, 'kay? is that okay with you? yes. she said. alright. so he introduced sarana to his family. this is lisana, and arman, david, salomon, joseph, and flelix. and abigial. and jonathan. and elfin. and thorfin. and abel. you guys have weird names, she said. and last but not least, my mom. elizabeth. and my dad: karther,the dork who didn't want me to save you. she did the most respectful thing. she said, please. mrs. elizabeth, and mr. karther. can i please stay in this orphanage for a day? just this once? she said. karther wanted to say absolutely not- but then elizabeth said, why, yes. serana, was it? it's a beautiful name. who gave it to you? it was him.she pointed at baouklotz. my, my, the mom said. well, you'r always welcome. she welcomed her with opent arms. she gave her a hug. serana, i don't know you, but i can tell you'r a good person. she gave her a family hug. karthen said, tch! in his heart. this brat is nothing. she's very fishy, he said. well, do you need anything to eat? elizabeth said. yes... for some reason, i'm hungry. she looked at her belly. abel? can you please bring out dear elizabeth potatoes? yes, mom. abel said. as she ate the potatos, she had a bit of a shock. he had her memmories of eating potatos in her previous life outside the walls. she threw the plate. what is it, serana? elizabeth said. i-it's nothing, ma'm... abel, please get her something to wipe the mess on her clothes. as she wiped the potato soup. i-i just saw something flashing very fast. what was it, serana? n-never mind, ma'm...you need new clothes, serana. hm? well, since abel and you are same age, i guess it wouldn't hurt borrowing some of hers, ey? abel nodded: yes, mom! by the way, why is abel a girl with a guy's name? for some reason, she knew abel was a guy's name even tho she lost her memmories. well, it's beacuse of her father, karther. he was deciding names for them. flashback of abel's past: karther was shouting. hey, brat!? what name do you prefer?! pick a bibble name you want and think suits you, brat! every kid orphen that enters this church has to pick a name from the bibble.

she asked the king. where? why, to the undergrounds, of course. she was suspecting him. just stay here, okay? king julius said. o-oh, alright, she said. king julius took a bit of a while, so serana was tired. she may not look it, but she's stubborn. so she was tired. she just had to do something. she saw an old graveyard nearby the church. hm? what's this? she said. she went nearby. it was... ...10000 years old bones........ she was very shocked. she didn't move, react, or do anything. a-a-a-ah....she was speachless. just as she was about to recover her memmories... ...king julius came by. he looked at her with a death grin. hey...kido...? you... ...didn't...see nothing, did you?... he held her hands with all his strength. it hurts!! she said. let me go!! agh! it... ...hurts!! she kicked him. as he let her go. tried running away as fast as she could, but he held her neck with anger. grabed her, and threw her at the ground. a-ah! she said. he said, it was just a joke, ok? s-see? hahaha...he awkwardly laughed. you can go now. chapter 1: end.

I was invited to post my Bucky shorts here, but thought of something else instead. Thanks for reading, and thanks for the invite!
A Scale of Vengance, Part one.
We knew the [Hero King] was coming, and others may say the Island Fortress of Last Anchorage was unprepared for his arrival, but against the [Hero King] what can anyone do?
When our nation joined the coalition against him, we sent our patreon, the great Sea Dragoness Carana, not expecting to lose her within moments of the start of the battle. We also sent the majority of our military strength to fight on the mainland, who were slaughtered to the last soldier.
So, to say we were unprepared is to say we failed to act. When the [Hero King] decided to take our island, the outcome was preordained, and our position at the end of a Island Archipelago meant evacuation was largely impossible, even if the [Hero King] was not using our own ships we had used to move our Army to the mainland to invade us.
I found out though, that when hope seems lost, sometimes a final roll of the dice can alter the fate of the world. I Am Talia, and this is my story.
***###***
I woke up, readying myself for another day of tutoring, as befits the 16 year old Third Prince of a Minor nation. I was expected to serve in the military protecting the Kingdom of Last Anchorage, but until very recently the idea of an Army from an Island nation as anything but a purely ceremonial unit had been the butt of many a joke told in local taverns.
*Knock Knock* I heard the servant of the day, likely Jannytt checking on me. “I’m up, I’ll be down for breakfast soon.” I said to the door, and soon the sound of footsteps heading away from the door allowed me to loosen my hold on my dagger, a gift from my Uncle who led the army against the Tyrant king, riding the Great Dragoness who shared her nest with my ancestor, a pact that time could not erase.
Tensions were high, and there were undoubtedly those who thought slaughtering the Royal family would save our island, so tensions were high for all of us in the castle. I dressed in haste, but did not leave my dagger behind when I arrived at the eating table of my Father.
My Father was leading by example, eating no more than what was rationed to the average commoner, as our Island could not feed all its people by what grew in its tropical soils no matter how much the [Druid] blessed it. We had been a nation of traders for hundreds of years, and now we were the last bit of land not held by the Tyrant King on this side of the Icarian Sea, so without trading partners we starved, from the poorest commoner to my father the King.
We ate the Gruel served to us without a word said, not even bothering with bringing up prisoners to use as poison checkers. The Tyrant King had no need of poisoners, as such could be used against himself. We all knew that there would be no quarter taken or given when the Tyrant arrived, and the thought made my stomach rebel and smiling sadly, I gave the remaining portion to Princess Maria, my 10 year old sister who smiled as I roughed her hair before standing up to leave, the dinner table being a family place, where decorum could be waved off, and we be a family, if only briefly.
“Prince Talio, I have need of you today, your studies are canceled though your tutor will accompany us.” The King said, looking out the window at the shorebirds circling on the thermal that most days blew up the seaside cliff that Castle Carana was built upon.
“Yes, Father” I said, before following. We walked as my father led us outside the Castle, surrounded by my classmates, the remnants of our Military Academy in full armor. The City Guard was keeping the peace, but conversely were the force most likely to act to end my Family’s reign and thus their allegiance was best not tested.
We arrived at the Temple, where the [Priest] was holding yet another service, keeping the people’s hopes for a miracle up. Hope was all we had to sell, after all.
We of course had a private balcony overlooking the temple plaza, so we sat down to listen to the end of the [Priest]'s service.
“I have had a message from our patreon deities, the Tyrant King’s abuses have been heard, and we have been given a boon, a Holy Miracle to bring a new Guardian about as was written upon our founding. Do not lose hope, my people, no darkness lasts forever.”
I leaned over to my Father “Hope we get that new guardian fairly quickly, huh?” I said, half in inquiry, and half knowing damm well only a dragon could protect our island from Invasion sans a miracle of some sort.
As the commoners filed out, we mingled among the few ship captains attending who served as lords in Father’s court. It was a courtesy and a rare opportunity to mingle outside of a court setting, as being under the Deity, all were equal in her temple.
I was curious as to today’s events when my tutor, Lady Benning arrived. She curtsied, as was formal for her, and as Father’s attention was elsewhere, I gave her permission to rise.
“A big day for you, my Prince. And Quite the honor too.” She said, clearly excited, and seeing I knew naught about why and what she referred to, that was half her smile, getting the drop on my information gathering was a habit of hers. If I ever became king, she would be my head knight if I didn’t or couldn’t take her for a concubine.
Her [Swordsmaster] skill was impressive, but she was the whole package brains and brawn, though sadly a decade older than I, so I didn’t press on courting her, though having had her for a tutor for the past three years gave me plenty of opportunities to.
“I hope so, if the [Preist] is right, and you know I’d do anything to prevent the Tyrant King from winning.” I said, offering her an elbow, which she took, as we walked to the center of the temple, where our hopes had been laid…literally.
We approached the central Dias, and together With the [Preist] stood a hooded woman wearing robes as we approached the central dias. I activated my skill [Judge] which allowed me to see the truth of things, and looked at the Stranger’s status.
Lady Kara Veela age 55, [Prophet] lv**
Skills: Foresight, Prophecy, Judgement
My Knees almost buckled. Lady Kara, the Stormcrow, the harbinger of disasters was feet in front of me. This obviously did not portend well, but honestly with the [Hero King] on the way, she probably had brought buttered popcorn for a ringside seat.
My Father, however, had always welcomed her, and in truth had sired 3 kids on Lady Kara, my half siblings, who fortunately were considered illegitimate for the line of succession, though they had been knights and ministers in service to our kingdom. This did nothing to improve relations between my late mother and her, however. So seeing her here was a bit of a shock.
As my father reached the duo, he took her hand and kissed it and even those weathered features she boasted managed to show some color. Good on you, Dad!
The [Priest] smiled before patting me on the back “You are looking well, my Prince. Today, you stand to do a great service to our world as a whole.”
I bowed “My duty is clear then, though my path remains clouded, good priest.”
Oddly, it was Lady Kara who answered for the priest.”Your actions today may save more than your life, but play a part in fighting the corruption of the void that is creeping across our world.” These words were spoken with the power of prophecy, and I knew to not argue the point.
I did feel awkward, moreso as My Father, The Priest, Lady Kara, and My Tutor, Lady Benning took places in the great spell circle, where runes guided the formation of great magics. This left me in the circle with the pedestal, on which stood the sole Dragon’s egg that our guardian left for us.
As the circle activated, I asked “What do you wish me to do?” Lady Kara said, and I reached out to it, feeling the egg’s surface, and after a second’s contact I felt the warmth within, and a faint pulse of magic kept in time with my own heart’s beating.
“Embrace it, let it know you want a new guardian” The Priest's low voice said clearly, and so I did, focusing my feelings of watching the former guardian play in the sky and waves, jealous that I’d never experience that kind of freedom, or have that kind of strength to defend those I care about. As I did so, I felt an echo from within the egg, beckoning me, showing me what it meant to be a dragon. I have to say, being seduced by a guardian spirit was kind of nice, all in all.
As the visions of power and flight unfolded, it felt more and more like instead of watching a dragon, I myself existed as the dragon, and for that moment, I let myself go, reveling in something that had been a dream since I first saw our dragoness protector.
****===****
As he watched his son disappear, consumed by the power of their magic, funneled through the circle, and the magic granted by the deity that watched over them, he knew that he’d seen his son for the last time as the magic finished, and he dropped to his knees.
“Llywnd, it was necessary.” The warm hand of my concubine and best friend Lady Kara comforted me as she kneeled down, embracing me as I wept for my son, for my kingdom, and not least, for myself.
For a moment, I wasn’t King Llywnd, but simply a father, selling his bloodline to defeat a great evil, not wholly different than many a parent who had watched their children board a ship to fight the Tyrant king’s army, and who never returned to their arms afterwards. I cursed Kalustus Kal, or whatever the whoreson who the system called [Hero King] was calling himself, losing myself in grief and hate, just a Man, in an extraordinary circumstance.
Another hand rested on my shoulder and a soft voice reassured me “I’ll watch over your son, you have my oath that my blade will serve your family for as long as I draw breath.” I looked up into the eyes of the [Swordsmaster] “Thank You, though if you wouldn’t mind watching over Maria too?”
“Of course,” She said, no fancy oaths, no pomp or pride involved. The simplicity of that broke me from the moment’s weight, and a Palanquin was brought out to transport the Egg to the docks. I stood, my legs betraying my resolve as I reached out and touched the Egg “Be safe, and remember always, your Father’s love.” I whispered, then kissed it, feeling the magic flare briefly, feeling my son’s soul leap within, before we parted, forever.

So I landed on a scorpion island and at first I thought there were only 3 but then realized there’s literally like never ending scorpions. Can you catch them all or do they keep re-spawning? I’ve literally been stung like 200 times at this point and am wondering if I should just leave 😀 I keep trying to catch all of them out of revenge but omg idk how much more I can take

Adrift in the cold, endless void is the Ooze: a primordial being that has existed for time immemorial. It is a bottomless ocean of mystery and wonder to the mortals that walk on the surface above.
On the crust surrounding the liquid core of the planet are the Living Peaks: the self-proclaimed masters of the world.
Below the Peaks are the humans, or Ungrots as the Peaks refer to them as, who go about their daily lives mostly unaware of the massive game of cosmic chess they take part in.
Long ago, the Ungrots struck out from under the Peaks' direct influence, and with the leadership of Ahualt the Warrior King headed east to find a land in which they could be free.
This led them to the Dorshan Plateau, where humans would found successful cities to push them into a new age of technology.
While the Dorshans strode the line between Peakish influence and their own free will, other Ungrots were not so lucky,
The Hanugali hordes of the Swaying Steppe fell squarely under the influence of the Boulderian Monks, and were staunch followers of the Peakish teachings.
The Kirioy of the jungled valley in the east rested in the low, Ooze-rich soil. Their relationship with the Deep Heaven they called El-Tra was close indeed.
Some Ungrots ceased to be so at all, shedding their mortal skin for strong, Peakish stone. These rocky beings were called the Petrifundi, and their immortal voices preached the sermons of the Living Peaks.
What may await you on the continent of Pikeya?
Important Information:
The Living Peaks is run in SLiM, a new RPG system that many of you may not have encountered before. It is in alpha, so I recommend that those who are looking for a heavily refined experience should look elsewhere. We run into "bugs" and new situations every session, so prepare to be an instrumental part of this new game's development. (Your feedback is cherished greatly.)
One last note: I give a trigger warning to any and all that approach us. We are a rough bunch who don't take everything so seriously all the time. Join at your own peril, and prepare to have fun if you don't feel deterred by this warning.
