Price of War

Ok I lied, I was gonna do something for an oc, but I have been obsessed with Arcadie: Second Born since I played it so I had to do very short piece inspired by it. Sorry if it isn't as good as you guys are used to! It has been awhile since I've written anything.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The last of your name, the last of your blood. The sole survivor of a massacre enacted solely to destroy your family, to murder each and everyone of you. The King and Queen were dead. Throats slashed from behind as they feasted and cheered atop their great seats. Next came your older brother and sister. They were fierce warriors but caught completely unaware, in the once assumed safety of their great familial hall. Cut down by those they once called friends. Your uncle, barely leaving his seat, was the fourth to fall. Numerous other family members, those you loved, those you cared for and even those you barely even knew, were slain after. Their blood mixing in with that of their fallen kin. Screams and cheers coming together in a wicked display of evil. Those not of your name ran for their lives, leaving behind their loyalty for the fallen royal family behind in the muck of betrayal.

It was an extermination. Leaving you, youngest of the King and Queen's children, and the last of your entire family, to live. It was due to no cunning or skill of yours that you were still alive. No mercy from above or a chance of fate. The traitor willed you to live and as such you were spared. But, as the traitor sat on the very seat your father was murdered on, used your mother's still warm body as a foot rest, and cleaned the sword he used to cut your brother down, you wished, and not for the last time, that you had fallen with your kin.

He sat before you, lazily wiping your brother's blood from his great sword. You recognised it as the sword your mother gifted him for a successful campaign in the east. The great hall was silent now. There had been gargles and moans of the dying but it was finally silent. Death had come for your once great house. Those complacent in the massacre stood tall and motionless, like statues that littered the walls. And like statues they held no guilt for what had occurred.

You stood, shaken and teary eyed. You tried to hold back emotion, lest the traitor in front of you saw you as weak. You had been dragged from your hiding place while your family was still being butchered, you thought the same would happen to you. Instead you were dragged through rivers of blood and over dying bodies. Your second cousin had gripped onto you ankle with such a force you could still feel his nails digging into your skin now. You could feel his blood drying on your face too, the memory of those who had been dragging you kicking and slashing him as he laid on the floor, until his grip finally loosened.

The traitor in front of you let out a sigh, lulling you back into the present. He seemed bored or at the very least disappointed.

"I thought it would have been harder" he spoke, pushing your mother's body back and forth with his foot, until he bored of it and pushed your mother down the stairs, to your very feet. You stared at her, her eyes dull, yet screaming at you with fear and sadness at the very same time.

" I thought it would take more to bring down the once great royal family". You couldn't tell if he actually wanted an answer, or was just pushing salt into the emotional wounds that littered you.

He stood and began to slowly walk down the steps to meet you. Upon coming across your mother's body he kicked her to the side. There was a time you found him attractive, there was once a time one might say you had 'feelings' for him. But it was nothing but a child's fancy. The man in front of you was no longer your childhood companion, no longer was he the trusted general of your father's armies, no longer the Kingdom's most valued hero. He was a murderer, a villain, a traitor. A suddenly occurred to you, that the tribes and chiefdoms that your father ordered him to raise to the ground, had known him long before you as only as that, an evil, wicked man.

"Do you know why I spared you?" he asks, the face of your childhood friend, corrupted with the blood of your kin.

You opened your mouth to answer. To tell him no, to tell him to go fuck himself, to make a morbid joke of him wanting to torture you in front of the kingdom. You weren't quite sure what you were going to say. But he cut you off, clearly not in the mood to discuss his internal plans.

"Because you are the key to peace and the price of war" he states, eyes drilling into yours. You stared back in confusion, he was never one for riddles.

" I have fought in countless battle, killed hundreds, caused pain to thousands, and what was it for? hmm? Nothing, not a single fucking thing" he spits, you try to step back, but he only inches closer.

"I was lied to, we were all lied to" he shouts, pointing to his men who stiffen as he does so. "we were told war is the maker of peace, we were told that for every life we take, every family we slaughter, our kingdom, our homeland would flourish. It was nothing but a filthy fucking lie."

He turns back to where he left his sword, leaning on your father's seat. He grabs it, and turns back to you.

"I was given this as a gift for my battles in the east, but it was not what was promised to me" he snarls, his arm lifting until the sword was pointed at you, he steps forward, the tip coming to rest under your chin.

"Your mother promised me you" he whispers, the anger from before shifting to desperation. His arm lowered and so did the sword.

"It was the one thing I asked for when I left for the front lines, that if I survived I would have your hand in marriage, as we had planned as children, as it should have always been. But your mother lied, told me that of course she would be honoured to have me as your husband if I came back a hero, but a soldier and a hero are not always the same. I did what I was told, killed all those who opposed us, and for what? A scrap of metal to be thrown at my feet because I was not noble enough? That unlike your family's spoiled brats, I actually fought along side my men? I didn't stand on some ridge over looking chaos and watch as if it was some sport?"

"They lied to me, about everything. Why we were fighting, why we were killing, why my soldiers had to die in a foreign land to a foreign hand. Peace we were told. It wasn't peace, it was greed. Now it is time for us to be greedy. It's time for us to make war to make peace. This land will be rid of those who sent us to war for scraps of metal and gold. And a new dawn, a new kingdom for the common people will be born. It's finally time for me to get what was promised to me, for all the shit I've been through, for all the blood I split, I finally will have you. And I will be the king this kingdom deserves"

You let go of a breath you didn't know you had.

"The kingdom will never accept you as king" you whisper, trying to swallow but only finding a parched mouth. "They will see you as nothing but a bloodthirsty tyrant"

He stares at you for a moment, until a deep chuckle fight past his lips. He laughs for a few moments, his silent statues of men begin cracking their façade and laugh along with him.

"Of course they will accept me. I'm the kingdom's valiant hero, who not only protected them from the eastern tribes, but rescued them from the tyranny of your parent's rule. You live a sheltered life your majesty, you know not of what is beyond the castle walls"

Your heart races. Surely your parent's were loved by all? They seemed to think so, hosting large parties and feasts in honour of the peasant and common folk. Yet you now only find it odd that your never truly saw common folk at these gathering, unless of course you count the servants.

The usurper king continues speaking.

"But suppose you are right, that there are some who would refuse to see me reign, well as you as my spouse, how could anyone refuse, after all you are the sole living survivor of your family, you are therefore the ruler of this kingdom, and with me as your king, none shall dare threaten us." he chuckles, a dark and violent sound.

"Any child of yours is the heir to the throne, and I intend to sire that child" his eyes gleam dangerously in the candle light of the hall.

You look down at your mother, kicked to the side, eyes open forever unseeing. For a moment you wished that you could lay down beside her one last time and be one with your family again, forever unseeing, yet forever out of reach of the usurper king's hands.

So the Pathfinder game that I started...

...exactly 3 years and 3 months ago, to the day...

...is starting back up again tonight after 8 months of hiatus!

Due to scheduling shenanigans and other factors, we're SPLIT THE PARTY! Rather than one single campaign, the players are now going their separate ways, with each group on their own path! Where will they go? What will they see? Only time will tell!

...well, or I could tell. I could tell a lot! But should I? Hmm. I could say a bit, I suppose. I could say how, if they were all together, they couldn't succeed. I could say how because of the actions of some choosing to strategize and draw threats elsewhere, many lives will be spared. Are those the lives of the adventurers themselves? Hmm... this remains to be seen!

The time for watching and waiting has come to an end, and the hammer bears down to strike... a parched city, like kindling for the flame, torch in the hands of the ones desperate to show their dedication to the dark design of the Nightmare...

The dark sky lingers above, a blank canvas, to be painted red once more...

Of dreams and nightmares, of ancient wars, pacts broken and reforged, will hope at last shine brighter than the despair of the Nightmare Queen? When rivalries span millennia, are reparations possible? Soon, the curtain lifts again..!

#ASB #Session 1 after the break starts tonight! Wish me luck! #I think everyone in this group is going to be hype to find the new direction we're going in!

So, I've started riding/re-training this little girl! Her name is Hera and she's 8. So sweet and yet so full of anxieties- most of our time was spent on the ground today walking around. The door to outside was especially scary since the wind was rattling it. She eventually settled down and let me get on for a great ride!

I doodled this on my lunch today. My character, Shylon, and his cat, Goldfish! It was really nice to draw because I feel like I saw my improvement and understanding of things I hadn’t before. I can’t wait to draw more of their stories. 💕

The Peshawar Lancers has some of the best world building I’ve seen in any alternate history novel. This is my review.

There are plenty of books I want to listen to, but they just aren't available in audio form. It frustrating, but it is what it is. Sometimes, however, my patience is rewarded in a big way. Case in point, The Peshawar Lancers by S.M. Stirling.

The Peshawar Lancers by SM Stirling is set in a world where Earth was struck by a series of asteroids in 1878. It wasn’t enough to wipe-out humanity, but it did screw up the climate. For example, it lead to five years of non-stop winter. As such, the various Europeans empires evacuated to their colonies in the southern hemisphere. For the British Empire this meant South Africa, Australia, and especially India. By 2020, the climate has stabilized, but the world is forever changed. The world is stuck in the Victorian era, but with some slight steampunk elements. More importantly, the British Empire, now called the Angrezi Raj, is home to an Anglo-Indian hybrid culture. The story follows a wide verity of characters, including the titular Peshawar Lancers, the Raj’s first line of defense on the frontier.

Interesting that Peshawar is where the Lancers are based. In ancient times, it was part of the Bactrian Kingdoms, a place of great culture exchange between Greeks and Indians. In fact, many of these Greek Indians eventually converted to Hinduism and Buddhism, eventually lead to a very unique culture and art style. I’m very tempted to thing that this was deliberate on Stirling’s part.

There are airships, Babbage Engines, and a couple steam-powered cars, but not really anything too fantastical in terms of technology. This is explains somewhat in-universe. Humanity had to focus on rebuilding after The Fall, so that stunted technological progress. Moreover, India doesn’t have access to a lot of mineral fuels, and there isn’t much need when wood is so plentiful. It is mentioned that steamships only recently surpassed wooden sailing ships in terms of capabilities.

Like I said, I utterly adore the world building that went into this novel. There’s even an index at the end containing certain details that didn’t make it into the novel proper. I loved the Anglo-Indian hybrid cultures of the Raj, France-outre-Mer in North Africa (which actually retained its French culture), andd the balls to walls insanity of how Russia is now an empire of Satanic cannibals.

The writing is also quite good. It reminds me very much of Victorian adventure novels by people such as H. Rider Haggard and Rudyard Kipling. I went on a kick of those in many younger days, so I was all onboard for that aspect.

Stirling has stated that he very much would like to write a sequel, but the sales weren’t good enough for his publisher to greenlight one. Oh well, I guess we can always hope that one day a sequel will come. Also, the man himself was nice enough to personally leave a comment on my blog saying that he appreciates my review.

The audiobook version is, of course, the whole reason we're having this review. It is narrated by Shaun Grindell, who perfectly captures the story. I'm very happy that this amazing work of alternate history is available in audiobook form at long last.

Have you read The Peshawar Lancers? If so, what did you think?

Part 6 Jotaro should be added to ASB R totally not because I want more simping material pfft

In all seriousness though, we have three Dios, so we should have three Jotaros. A part 6 model already exists of Jotaro along with a ton of unused lines so why not?

Sumire and Emporio could have been buddies in eoh if Ikuro wasn't stuck in ASB Jail.

It'd be so easy too to get hin in there.

Their intro to the plot would be Ikuro and Sumire on the run from a controlled Stroheim, who they assume is another Doress cyborg. Sumire leads them to the Joestar Squad because she has a vision they can help them. Everyone is pretty on board with helping but Giorno is Sus of them because Ikuro distinctly feels like 2 life-signs and not to mention whatever the hell Netsuo the Rathing is. Eventually Ikuro is pushed to fight and Baoh is revealed, making Joseph have An Episode and Giorno to nod like a worm Doing That makes any sense.

Both Sumire and Ikuro just assume stands are Physic Stuff and Sumire can only kinda tell where they are but Ikuro is flying blind as hell.

After my longest-running Pathfinder game, Amidst Shining Boughs, has started up again, the response has been incredible...! ;_;

I'm so happy with everyone being so happy with getting back into the fray, despite some issues with Foundry VTT (not Foundry's fault, we've just been running this game for over 3 years so some things are bound to break after so many updates).

The story has kicked back into full swing, the Nightmare Queen has returned in her full witchy glory to cause more problems for the heroes, and another battle has begun, this time for the fate of the last bastion of light against the encroaching darkness of the Nightmare. The Imperial City of Miziro, last major free city on the continent of Brutera, is under siege by horrid creatures swarming the streets, but even this is but a diversion, casting eyes away from the true threat: the Dream Seed is dying, slowly rotting under the watchful gaze of the Kuri family, nobles aligned with the Nightmare's designs. Now, moments before its death- the very death of dreaming- it arrives like a festering bomb atop Heaven's Shrine, high above the city.

Celli, Luca, Marwind, and Tomomi rush through the bay to The Calamity, airship captained by the infamous Travesty and one-way ticket to danger. With the laugh of adventure and the churning of engines, the ship takes off into the sky, carrying the party to thwart the nightmarish plans of the Dreamthief Hag Genevieve Grimwhim and save the dreams of the hundreds upon thousands of souls below- both figuratively and literally.

Deep below the rumbling earth, Silvano, Sun, and Fay have finished defeating an assassination attempt on the vampire king himself and have just learned of the hag's plan from a dominated thrall. Yet even as the attack begins to string above, a greater threat looms on the horizon... a threat against not only Miziro, but all of Eos, lest all be bathed in fire and fury, and the Dragon War be kindled anew...

#Amidst Shining Boughs #ASB #Pathfinder #Crown Plays Pathfinder #the memes will have their own post #and many players had some moments significant to them #but I'll let them talk about that~ #(if they wanna)
