I finally decided to redo my Tabaluga AU (which I've finally given the nickname of, "Raise A Dragon"!), same concept ofc, but with just some slightly different designs! So enjoy the long post, I guess!

Here's Tabaluga! (The Taba-boy!!!) His cheeks, pupils and belly are blue and his eyes and cheeks slight sparkle blue, and his heart is also literally frozen, yet, he is somehow still alive.

These are all after effects of being deep-frozen before he was born. He has been raised by Arktos and James his whole life, and he thinks his species died out bc of some kind of accident or smth like that. Despite the two people who he was raised by, he has a heart of gold, and is very reluctant to hurt anyone or anything, finding it extremely hard to carry out his fathers' (especially Arktos') orders of destruction, but he does them anyways because it's what he's been taught to do.

He keeps seeing a big, very old shadow dragon (Tyrion!) in his dreams every night. It doesn't seem to make noise, but it moves its mouth as if it was speaking to him, or at least, trying to. Tabaluga often wonders who the shadowy dragon is is. He mentioned it once to Arktos, and then never mentioned it again because it seemed to cause Arktos to have a panic attack.

Tabaluga loves to explore Grünland a lot! At first, he was allowed to basically go anywhere in Grünland but Drachen Rock (As in this AU, unlike the actual cartoon, Arktos is very aware of Tyrion's spirit and does not want Tabaluga to find Tyrion for very obvious reasons lol. Him and James also put a sort of fence (like those ones at school that you can try to shove your in to climb but are barely to small to fit in) in front of any entrances to the River of Time so Tabaluga can not get in there and find out about the past that way either. Thankfully, the River is still flowing just fine.). But recently, Arktos has become much stricter with Tabaluga, starting to deny Tabaluga access to even places the dragon had been allowed to go to before. This newfound strictness has only made Tabaluga's identity crisis (and along with it), his mental health, worse too. This has caused Tabaluga to start disobeying Arktos in an attempt to find out more about the truth of who he is and what happened to his species. So far he has not been able to find out much, but one day, potentially, he might just find the horrible truth of what happened to his species.

Here's Arktos and James, who I have basically turned into their Season 1 counterparts with only slight additions to Arktos. James is very gay for Arktos and quite shy about it, and Arktos is just fucking oblivious to James' crush on him.

In this AU, they managed to find out about Tabaluga's egg and stop it from hatching by deep-freezing it. They take it back and just when Arktos is about to destroy it, James gets the idea of raising the dragon instead because of how powerful dragons can become. After some slight musing, Arktos accepts the idea and they raise the dragon. The reason Tabaluga is called Tabaluga here in this AU is because Arktos recalls a time when he and Tyrion were still friends, that, Tyrion, one time, mentioned he wanted to name his son Tabaluga, and Arktos decides to name the dragon that in some sort of attempt at irony.

After so many years of raising Tabaluga, Arktos has started to think of Tabaluga less as a tool of power, and more as his own son, not that he'd ever admit it. However, Shouhu's words of a new chapter beginning in his life, one that will last a thousand years is always haunting Arktos, as Arktos believers that new chapter Shouhu was talking about was him discovering and now currently raising Tabaluga. This has caused Arktos to fear the possibility that when Tabaluga is 10, he is going to discover the truth and leave. And as a result, Arktos has become more stricter with the dragon, especially when it comes to exploring Grünland. But this strictness might potentially lead to his downfall if he doesn't stop.

James considers the dragon his son as well (but more openly and is much less strict with the dragon than Arktos). He sees the danger of Arktos becoming more strict with Tabaluga, as he can tell it's causing the young dragon to disobey, and James tries to get Arktos to become less strict with the little dragon, but Arktos will not listen to him (or anyone else for that matter) about his strictness on Tabaluga out of pride and the fear that if he even just slightly eases on the strictness before the dragon is over 10, Tabaluga will immediately go out and find out about the truth.

James, as the years have gone by, has also gained confidence enough to occasionally try and drop a hint to Arktos that his feelings run deeper than just simply loyalty. And Arktos has actually become a little less oblivious and started to pick up on James' crush on him, albeit he only notices it occasionally.

Here's just random other doodles of this AU!

The first doodle was just an experiment with album design style, but then I thought of my AU and l got the idea of redesigning Arktos for this AU. Once I decided to redesign him, I drew the other two sketches and then decided to redesign James as well because, why not, and also for the same reason I redesigned Arktos, that being them looking too similar to my main Tabaluga fanon/canon/AU designs for them!

Poor Tabaluga in this AU has an ongoing identity crisis. He wonders if he is really the Prince of Eiswelt or if he is the last of his kind. Honestly, if he ever were to find out what happened to his species, he would need lots and LOTS of therapy.

And finally this doodle (which actually features an actual design for Tyrion!)! This scene is a little doodle is of a point where Arktos decides to go to Drachen Rock to mock to Tyrion about how well he's raising the dead dragon's son. But Tyrion isn't even bothered, in fact he's amused! Because as Tyrion points out, it's quite ironic that Arktos is raising the last child of the species he swore to destroy. By the end of the scene, and Arktos is leaving, he is strating to have internal conflicts on whether or not he's actually starting to get attached to Tabaluga as his son more than a tool for power. Basically, Arktos starts to wonder if he has started to think of Tabaluga as his son.

(Also I keep saying ''potentially'' because I want to signfy events that might happen in this AU at some point, but at the same time they might not happen. I know, confusing, but just stick w/ it)

12. dowdy

“Nhaama, does everything need to be so… I don’t know… heavy? How is a woman supposed to walk in all this?” Marz waved a hand at the rows of woolen dresses on display, followed by layers and layers of underthings.

Kaede shrugged. “It’s cold, and we’re supposed to be getting warmer clothes.”

That earned her an expressive eyeroll from the xaela, who crossed her bare arms over her chest. “I just expected better from the people that designed drachen mail. I don’t think this stuff could possibly be more different.”

“Well, yeah, that’s armor, not clothing. Besides, I thought you hated it? I distinctly remember you making fun of it relentlessly and refusing to wear it.”

“Just because I don’t want to wear it doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the design, and how it looks on people it’s meant to be on. Besides, even the knights in this place are frumpy – it’s all boring shapeless chain shirts, no style. Aside from the dragoons, that is.”

Kaede idly turned a corset over in her hands, inspecting the stitching. “And the Lord Commander.”

Too late, Kaede realized what she’d said, when Marz’s face leaned close to her own, eyes bright with teasing. “Oh, sure, but that armor looks so ridiculously complicated. How do you think he takes it off at night?”

Leveling a look at Marz, Kaede put back the dress she’d been looking at and crossed her arms. “I don’t know, why don’t you ask him, if you’re so keen to find out?”

“Ew, no thanks. He’s pretty and all, sure, but men in positions of authority give me hives. Plus I don’t think he’d enjoy me asking half as much as he’d like it from you –”

“Marz?”

“Yes?”

“Shut up and find some clothes so we can get out of here.”

wip-the last wish

“It’s his kit that’s the problem.” Illaenne said. “Come look! You’re more traveled than all of us put together here, have you ever seen armor that looks like this?” Augustine glanced at the table, heading over to it. A cuirass was propped up on its surface, the silver a dull sheen under the lantern-lights. The metal looked as if it’d seen extremely hard usage, but had been well maintained. Curious, Augustine removed his gauntlets.

“I remember thinking when I grabbed him that his armor was light.” He said, reaching out to touch the cuirass’ surface. “Too light. Almost like…”

“Drachen mail?” Illeanne supplied. Augustine blinked in surprise, and nodded to the dragoon. However, Illeanne’s face was grim. Augustine glanced at her, then the armor. Then he looked at Illeanne again, a suspicion flaring to life in his thoughts.

“Wait. Is…it?”

“Lilith pitched a fit.” Illeanne said, naming her inner dragon. “The leather for the back and under the chestplate? That’s dragonskin. The metal was harder to sense, but there’s draconic magic in it. Bloodforged, more than likely.” Augustine looked back at the table, staring at the chestpiece with fresh curiosity. Next to it were the set’s greaves and gauntlets, along with a folded white tunic and pants with green trim, both stained and ripped from dirt and combat. Augustine turned his attention to the tunic, picking it up and rubbing the fabric inbetween his fingers.

“This is silk.” He said aloud. “And the design…the bottom of it looks a little bit like a shirt Riven has.”

“Do you understand how little that narrows it down, considering what I have heard of the Lady Fortemps’ wardrobe?” Lucia asked wryly. Maxima coughed, suppressing a chuckle, and Illeanne snorted. Augustine grinned, setting down the tunic. He looked back at the cuirass, fingers grazing the black icon in the center. It looked vaguely draconic…

It was the ending of the Dragonsong War, however, that brought the most significant improvement in Ishgardian armorsmithing with the reemergence of another long-forgotten forging technique: that of smelting ore in dragon flame to imbue its metal with arcane draconic magicks. It seems likely that Haldrath’s armor, crafted in a time of friendship between man and dragon, was created using this technique.

sometimes I really really wish job armours had questlines attached to them to get them (like how you earned the drachen maille over multiple quests in ARR!DRG, vs the current design of them just giving it to you automatically as a quest reward / having some blacksmith NPC make it with no preamble) bc I really want to see this

#saint.txt #spoilers #ishgardposting #I mean they *kinda* sorta got into it with ehl tou but it was pretty lukewarm.#idk man I just wanna see more of ishgard moving on from the war!! the possibilities of them working together with the dravanians!!#this is cool and interesting!!!!!!!!#like it would've been so cool if one of the DRG armours was made w/ the *help* of a dragon rather than just in its image #esp. considering how drachen maille is made and how existentially horrifying it is #you know. bring the circle back around.#unless end.walker *does* do this idk I haven't finished the expac yet

I played every Ninjago Toggo game

Toggo is a german children‘s TV channel that airs the german dub of Ninjago. On its website, Toggo features select episodes from every season (except season 12, for reasons unknown), and many different browser based games. As such, it‘s the channel that introduced me to the series, and the one I blame for my many sufferings.

I played every Ninjago game on the Toggo website. Here‘s some reviews.

First, though, look at Akita.

The “plots“ for these games, as like, random browser games, is obviously just whatever‘s going on in the season. “Fight your opponent in the tournament of elements“ “rescue nya from nadakhan“ “defeat the nindroids“ yadda yadda. Not riveting stuff, exactly, so I won‘t detail them.

1. Schlangenstämme (Snake Tribes) [Season 1]

Simple matching game. Take the snake images, match them to the correct tribe. This one is kind of a hack, because after 1k points new snakes just appear so fast you can‘t possibly progress.

The art is pretty cool though, even if it‘s probably reused.

2. Chens Labyrinth (Chen‘s Labyrinth) [Season 4]

You navigate a labyrinth as either lloyd or kai to get to zane. it‘s.. suprisingly difficult? I needed a couple of attempts to get past the first level, with five total. Though which levels those five are seems randomized. There‘s spinning blades and guards to dodge, pits to avoid, and even pistons that will push you into pits.

Arrow key controls, and nothing else.

This one reuses soundbytes from the show, which is fun. Like the wilhelm scream when you get hit by a blade. Or a Cole soundbyte when you fall down a pit. You can‘t even play as Cole. Definetly the high light of the game, because I was in hysterics.

Wassup with this Kai design though. Cool hair. The character models in the game look like someone took a picture of actual lego figurines. Ten out of ten.

3. Im Land der Drachen (In the Land of Dragons) [Season 9]

You play as the fire dragon, and you gotta burn down the dragon hunters, and free other dragons for upgrades. The description makes it seem like freeing dragons is your goal, but the high score is entirely dependant on how many enemies you defeat.

Control scheme is kinda wack at first, since the direction of your inputs depends are relative to your character, and the game starts you backwards, for no reason.

It‘s really hard to actually hit stuff with your fire breath. You can upgrade your dragon with the coins you collect from defeated enemies to do more damage and stuff, so if you really wanna go for a highscore, this game can keep you entertained for a bit. Suprisingly fun.

The music choice is really intense though to be playing constantly.

4. Nindroiden-Niederschlag (Nindroid-Beatdown) [Season 3]

Push the arrow key in the direction enemies are coming from to slap em. Don‘t get slapped yourself. That‘s it. You have a timer that fills up whenever you pass a level, and decreases rapidly when you get it.

Once again in hysterics over sound effects because there ARE multiple attack sounds, but they‘re not mapped to one per Ninja, they‘re random. So maybe the same Jay soundbyte plays five times in a row. Or maybe you get three different ones when hitting the same direction three times.

Shoutout to some guy named Kane, who takes up 5 out of 10 top 10 player slots. You‘re truly dedicated.

5. Wettkampf der Elemente (Contest of the Elements) [Season 4]

Beautifully reused assets from Chen‘s Labyrinth. The floor falls behind you, so manouvre your enemy into falling into the abyss first. Kind of dull, kind of difficult. Took me. A feewww attempts to do. I eventually settled on the tactic of “try to make a separate arena from my opponent as fast as possible and then just wait it out till they fall down.“

You face off against Bolobo, Neuro, Karlof, and then Skylor as the final boss. It‘s neat.

Though I was of course an immediate expert at this, because there‘s a Minecraft mini-game just like this. With the falling floor and stuff. I want to play minecraft now, instead of all these, but I‘m in too deep now.

6. Rettung aus Dschinnjago (Rescue from Djinjago) [Season 6]

This one gets points for using the intro music for skybound cuz it‘s swanky. The loop is wayyy to short though.

THERE‘S 22 LEVELS???

props to this one for being the first that‘s like… pretty to look at? And for having 8 directional movement. Similar to Chen‘s Labyrinth, navigate the levels as Jay with the arrow keys and don‘t fall off ledges or get caught in traps n stuff.

Again I like the graphics on this one? It looks good. Full 3D environment. Def a step up from the previous games. But also goddd make the music loop longer if you have one song for TWENTY TWO LEVELS. Yes i did play all twenty two but i did not go for 3 stars in each because collecting all the coins would take forever. Let‘s call it speedrun strats.

Levels get increasingly longer and more complex with all sorts of switches to press to advance, and some memorable sections like an honest to god chase sequence. So this actually took a while to beat, unlike the more „one and done“ games so far. It took like, 20 minutes to actually finish, even though I was ignoring coins

Jay‘s game over quote is “please not crap like this“ which is very polite for the fury with which it‘s shouted. Iconic.

I liked it, even though I turned off the swanky pirate whip after level 4 to listen to my edgy vocaloid instead.

Shoutout to Wu3000, who takes up slots 2-18 on the leaderboard. Man, you tried.

7. Die Kunst des Spinjitzu (The Art of Spinjitzu) [Season 1]

ORGH THIS ONE HAS CUSTOM NARRATION. Like an actual narrator. Reading the small blurb of “once upon a time there was the first spinjitzu master and you have to fight his evil son.“ what.

It‘s kind of funny how it refuses to name garmadon though. He‘s just “the evil brother.“

You get three minigames to pick, which are apparently the three disciplines of the art of spinjitzu. Dexterity, team spirit, and… spinning. Fascinating.

Each discipline has a ninja narrating how it works which is hilarious, because they‘re not like, the actual VAs obviously, just some guy trying to sound young and hip.

First up, dexterity, draw a symbol with your mouse cuz that‘s how you sword good ig. According to off-brand cole, at least. Except the “symbol“ is just one vertical slash. Three times.

With team spirit, you got the four guys tied together with rope, and you just kinda hold right, occasionally stopping to avoid obstacles. That‘s it. The voice acting on this is funny as shit though. I recommend checking it out solely for probably one guy trying to sound young. It‘s really funny.

With the last one, spinning, you press the left and right arrow keys as fast as you can to, well, spin.

After that, you play each one again, this time trying to beat “the evil brother‘s“ score to defeat him. It‘s not specified what said score is, but there is one. Supposedly.

All very one note minigames but worth the experience for that fantastic voice acting alone. I wish this post was a video. If I had a recording software i‘d stream this on youtube.

8. Im Niemandsland (In the Never-Realm) [Season 11]

This one is… an honest to god action rpg? Well, the „action“ is so clunky it may as well be turn based. You navigate either the forest or an ice cave to complete various fetch quests as Lloyd. You get exp from picking up collectibles and from defeating enemies. Your hp is so obscenely high you can eat attacks for breakfast. Or you get obliterated almost instantly. Depends.

There‘s ice samurai and wolves as enemies. The wolves actually made me feel bad, because you can oneshot them with a charged attack, and then they do this really pathetic whimper. Then there‘s “ice giants“ which are rock monsters that make buzzing sounds. You can kite these with your charged attack, which is the most fun i‘ve had over the course of the entire game. This does not say much.

As you do chores for Sorla and Nya, you encounter Akita in her wolf form, at which point the game starts playing episode audio of Lloyd naming her Red. Fun fun. After that, Akita follows you around, which is honestly precious.

Sometimes, when you accept or complete missions, the game has a seizure and crashes. Incredible.

Akita, your dps sucks. And most chores are just „collect wood“ over and over.

There‘s some vague semblance of a story, but not much. Collect wood for the fire! Oh wow, a white wolf! Oh no, Sorla‘s missing, go find her! Now Nya‘s missing, go find her!

My game crashed (again) on the rescue Nya mission, and then when I started again, Nya was there n gave me another rescue Sorla quest. I think these are randomly generated, for the most part.

There‘s entirely too much filler. For every “story“ mission, there were two side missions to complete first. And a story mission only amounts to the same fetch quest with one more box of flavor text. I kept playing for like, fifty minutes, I bet, and at some point i was just too bored.

Two maps, four enemy types, you learn spinjitzu at lv5 and it‘s free iframes and p much instakill for everything with a ridiculously short cooldown, so combat is a joke. Enemies scale with you, so why a level system?

The maps appear to be randomly generated, too, but following a pattern. You start at the bottom, make your way to a central area, and then have three paths to go down. These paths vary in length each time, and the longest typically features whichever objective you‘re after. This means there is a lot of backtracking if you went down the wrong path. Hooray.

Boooooooring. Novel for like three minutes, but then it‘s just rinse and repeat. Maybe a „one and done“ type deal would‘ve been better.

I played until level seventeen. SEVENTEEN. Story wise, i got up to finding the land bounty, but after that…. Man i just can‘t. This game is so boring. At some point there started being three to four side missions between each main quest, and I was watching video essays on the side. I don‘t know for how long I played this, but it was over an hour. Not even the sunk cost fallacy could bring me to continue further.

Don‘t play this one just enjoy the screenshots of low poly akita.

9. Lloyd gegen Garmadons Motorrad-Gang (Lloyd versus Garmadon‘s Motorbike Gang) [Season 8]

A breath of fresh air after the slog that‘s the last one. Here we got a simple racing game. Press left and right to dodge obstacles such as cars or gang members in an autoscroller highway race track. You win once you catch up to Ultra Violet.

There‘s a couple power ups, such as speed boosts, shields, and a 5 second time reduction for a higher score. Nothing special, three difficulties, and i def zoned out playing.

10. Das Große Rennen (The Big Race) [Season 12]

A season 12 game when the website pretends that prime empire doesn‘t exist? Fun fun.

Here we have a racing game with… actual multiplayer? It has local multiplayer, and random matching. Did I play against actual people??? Did I obliterate some poor kids in the janky lego browser racing game??

The controls are, as expected, janky as hell. You can‘t turn properly and thus keep bumping into walls. Power ups (your typical shell and banana substitutes) are supposedly used by pressing the space bar, but they just kept getting used automatically.

You can unlock different cars based on all the vehicles featured in the season. I think this only changes the appearance and nothing else.

Is this what kids do now that spieleaffe is an endless pit of ads? I miss the good days of spieleaffe….

11. Chens Rückkehr (Chen‘s Return) [Season 4]

This is one of those “press left and right to dodge shit“ games like the bike gang one, except. It‘s zoomed so far in I can‘t actually see the obstacles?? What‘s happening here???

12. Morro greift an (Morro attacks) [Season 5]

It didn‘t load, what can I say. From the small preview video, it appears to be a balancing game though. Morro is attacking the bounty, press left and right so the Ninja don‘t fall off. Y‘kno, identical controls to half the games here.

13. Turnier der Tapferen [Tournament of the Brave] [Season 7/8]

Okay this one is a hot mess and it‘s actually super fun. You move with the arrow keys and use your weapon with the mouse (excellent design, I know). You play in an arena with five other (real, human) players and try to hit each other. Whoever gets most points wins. There‘s traps all over the arena, too.

I got dead last because this was my first time playing, but I did have fun. It‘s havoc. I was suprised to actually have a full party fill up so fast? Gg to the acronix player.

Oh yeah, this game has a full on character select! This is, in the end, just skins, cuz everyone starts with shurikens anyway. You pick up different weapons around the arena, such as swords, or that weird mace that lets you throw potions.

This one slaps actually. I saw one player with my sister‘s name which jumpscared me a lil. What are you doing here. Only my sibling is allowed to have that name.

Again, first one I had a blast playing. Rounds are 80 seconds, so you gotta play super aggressively if you want points. If you see someone play Acronix, Harumi, Ultra Violet, or Machia, you know they‘re good, cuz those characters are unlocked with points.

One time I even came in second!!

14. Kartenduell (Card duel) [Season 1]

This game uses the season 1 subtitle Year of the Snakes, yet has After the Blackout by The Fold, a Season 3 song, as the title theme. WHICH I DO NOT MIND BECAUSE AFTER THE BLACKOUT SLAPS. Okay. Glad we got this over with.

It‘s a rather simple card game. You put four cards from your collection in your deck, each with four attributes. One game is four rounds, where one attribute per round is compared between the card you and your opponent play. The higher attribute wins.

Which attribute gets compared is randomized at the start of a round, but in actuality, it‘s only the order. You always do all four in one game.

Whichever rounds you win gets you your opponent‘s cards. When you lose a round, you lose the card. Except not really. I dunno. Not all that special, except for the music. It‘s tolerable.

15. Rückkehr der Oni (Return of the Oni) [Season 10]

Another suprisinlgy fun one!

It‘s got “cutscenes“, as in, powerpoint style pans over show shots with corresponding audio, which were very silly. Just recapping the season 10 finale, of “oh no the oni are here. Fight them.“

Gameplay is in a circular arena. Oni enter from all sides, and you gotta fight them off. Controls are click for short attack, hold for charged kick. That‘s it. You can only move by attacking. Each attack propels you forward. Charged kicks send you flying. You get wreckt if you get surrounded so movement tech was actually pretty fun? Figuring out how to best manouvre yourself around with attacks n stuff.

There‘s a stamina system to attacks (stamina refills automatically and when you defeat enemies) but I barely noticed it. Additionally, you get a spinjitzu button that also charges when you defeat enemies, but more slowly. It makes you invincible for a bit, instakills all enemies you get in contact with, and lets you move consistently. P busted.

You have 6 lives in form of the Ninja. They all play the same, and when one gets defeated, the next one jumps in till you run out.

Since there‘s actual high score hunters for games like these, I bet they invented some insane niche techs. Congrats to them.

Once all your ninja are down, you get another powerpoint cutscene of them defeating the oni with the tornado of creation, and that‘s it.

P good time actually.

16. Sumpf-Arena (Swamp-Arena) [Season 7]

Last but not least, we have a PVE game in the style of tournament of the brave. You play as Kai and fight your way through endless waves of snakes in one of two arenas for a highscore. Control with arrow keys, attack with space bar, yadda yadda.

You can collect time blades as upgrades, but they‘re pretty confusing to use tbh? Just kinda like. Teleports and that‘s it. But weirder. You use them with the control key.

Multiple enemy types from itty bitty snakes to fire spitting machia copies to big axe wielders who kill you in two hits. It‘s decent.

And thus, I conclude my review of every single toggo ninjago game, excluding the one that didn‘t load. As browser games, they‘re all super simple. Some of them were still fun though, even if only for the three minutes they took to beat.

My favorites are definetly Tournament of the Brave, for a fun little PVP experience, and Escape from Djinjago, for having multiple gimmicks that made its stages non-repetitive and made me use my brain to some capacity.

My least favorite is In the Never-Realm, for being the longest and most boring game. Endless slog of repetitive sidequests.

The games for later seasons were definetly more impressive visually, and typically more expansive. This does not automatically make them good, though. Some older ones like Chen‘s Labyrinth were also fun.

And there you have it! Thank you toggo for setting me on the path to write this with the like, 2013 probably? Marathon rerun of the first two seasons. Also curse you. Also, why the hell doesn‘t season 12 exist on the website?

Unsung Prompt: Tomb Raiding

You shouldn't have any of this.

The room downstairs was lined with armor on stands. An heirloom suit of knight's mail salvaged from a ruined Coerthan estate. Spiked drachen armor next to a design he was only half aware of the history of.

All too fine for you.

Belongs in a museum.

Next to that -an ancient ensemble of golden scale and leather and metal that weighed almost nothing to pick up, fit like a whisper, made his reflection unrecognizable when he saw himself wearing it.

(I would not have permitted its reforging if i did not think thee worthy. He thought about it sometimes as he was taking it off the stand.)

On the middle of the training mat, he finished testing the fit of a freshly lathed lance shaft to a spearhead etched with delicate filigree he associated with Gyr Abanian architecture.

The metal was light, sang in the air as he spun the lance behind his back. It glinted in the dim light the way it had when he'd first pulled it from its cache in those ancient ruins. Fallon and Severine's eyes on the rest of the hoard and not on him.

The icons, the baubles, the rest of it they divided, and the pair of them seemed to decide unspoken that this should be his.

But not so much as you deserve.

He worked through a few basic forms by rote, limb and sinew moving together like a whisper, thoughtless. Held a lunge as long as he could. One heel up to add a little extra burn in that hamstring.

Thinking about picking it back up? Severine's gently teasing tone drifting across a dusty bazaar accompanied by her sharp little elbow burying between his two lower ribs.

He stood up to spin the weapon again, continue the drills.

My fencing master would kill me if I let you walk out of here without gil for supper. Fallon's dark eyebrows lifting in surprise over the pile of books on the counter.

If he closed his eyes, though, he could still see it.

The weapon and focus abandoned to the earth to avoid prying questions.

A brilliant flare of - ----- - illuminating the frozen walls of a Coerthan Vigil, whiting out all his senses at once.

You disgraced your sword.

His feet came together as he held the weapon out in front of him to examine one final time before finding it a place on the rack.

(Mentions: @severine-savage @occams-rapier)
