QUICK PERSONALITY CHECK …
a quick little personality check ⏤ luciana is very kind ( but dont get her wrong . she can hit her limit and that kindness can slip up . ) she grew up in a family that strived for something picture perfect and that turned her into a perfectionist . as much as she doesn't want to live with that same kind of pressure , she can't help it . on the outside she can seem like everything is perfectly fine but on the inside she has this very deep seeded loneliness and sadness she carries onto . she can be bubbly when she wants to but she can hit her social limit and at that point it just becomes too much . she is prone to meltdowns . . . she's a senstive person . feels things really hard but also throws up barrers with herself and pushs down 99 % of her emotions when they become too much . she's a loyal person to her friends and the people she cares about . really , she would do anything for anyone . to the point where it could get a bit toxic and she drowns herself in it . as much as she loves the universe and the stars , as much as she likes to dream . . . she also has this fear of it all as well . and although positive outwardly , she can be a bit negative inwardly . but the way there's this endlessness of the world and life , that scares her . . . she has trouble with her own self and identity . and as much as a hopeless romantic she can be she's also unable to hold onto relationships for long . has a fear of getting too close to people and is one of those people that craves affection but flinches at it at the same time . pretty much she's a soft little baby . she just wants to make people feel good but also . . . she's deeply sad . . . even though she's a sweet little contradictory romantic type girl . . . she also can be a bit reckless in her own way . throwing herself down potholes for some kind of sign of life . ( rip , i have a theme to uphold . long live the emos . )
triggers : neglect , parental neglect , parental mental abuse , trauma , adulatory and addiction .
ever since the moment luciana was born her life was orchestrated , almost like performance art . there wasn't a time she could remember when eyes weren't on her and her family . her parents had always been the type of people that wanted it to seem as though they had the picture perfect family . pristine , almost to the point where the family seemed plastic . and that's just how they wanted it to seem . the wealthy and elite family all smiles and handshakes . all fancy parties and sucking up to all the right people . all the people that could get them further into that life of wealth and fame .
luciana and her older brother were dragged along to anything and everything their parents could get them into . a way to show the world they had something they didn't . . . that their family had everything . the perfect little family , the riches , the fame . . . it was everything the money and fame hungry parents wanted , even if it was anything but the truth .
a question , was the life they lead really all that perfect or great ? not at all . luciana knew at a young age how dysfunctional her family was . the way they said one thing to the world but everything was completely opposite or different inside . . . it confused her . the constant distrust in the people around her and this loneliness she had never been able to let go of began to creep onto her until it swallowed her whole .
the moment she was able to be put in front of a camera , luciana's parents made sure of it . putting her in the hands of any and every person in the industry . no real safety net despite having her so - called mom - ager there to protect her . if anything , luci felt as though she was less protected when her mother was around . the way the woman would throw her to the wolves just to get the attention she desired . wanting to live through her daughter . playing puppet master and treating her own child as if she was a little doll she could bend and control anyway she wanted to .
when the cameras weren't on the family , the issues came in swarms . luciana watching as her mother abused different pills and alcohol , her brother drowned himself in anything he could get his hands on , trying to silence the noise of heated arguments and his father cheating with various different woman . luciana seeing things she shouldn't but felt she had to hold onto and keep secret . they were a broken family behind closed doors but the moment they had eyes on them , everyone would pretend nothing was wrong . a smile forming on what was once a miserable face .
as much as luci doesn't want to be under her mothers control or her parents . . . she is . unable to really get out from under their grasps . at a young age she had went through something traumatic . no help in the way she was thrown to the wolves and that began the spiraling that luci began to go through .
a little reckless in her behavior , although under the radar . then again , she'd always felt like she could be screaming for help in front of the people in her life and no one would see or hear her . after an episode that was too catastrophic to ignore , her parents sent her off to a nature retreat . . . a way to be calm and become one with the earth . although , they didn't want to address the situation of not only what their daughter had been through and the secrets she held onto but they also didn't want to believe that there could be something actually wrong with her . or something she could actually be struggling with . instead sending her off on a pointless journey that didn't take away all the hurt and pain she had been through .
once back , she was thrown back into her work . back to playing the part of the perfect untouched and lovely daughter her mother wanted her to be . back to being the little doll her mother wanted to control .
❛ 𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 !
WANTED :
can't really think of anything right now but i'm down and ready for anything at all !
but i have a section on her pinterest for potential connections if you want to look and possibly a few on her inspiration blog . she probably has some songs on her playlist as well that can be potential connection vibes !

Beithir | Scottish Folklore
Within the highlands of Scotland, there was once folklore of a type of great serpent called Beithir.
"Beithir, adder, serpent, thunderbolt, lightning, a destructive deity dwelling in caves, corries, and mountain fastnesses."
Carmina Gadelica, Volume 2, by Alexander Carmicheal, [1900]
It was one of the fuath, making it very dangerous, and was so large that it could eat several horses or cattle in one meal.
It preferred to lurk in dark places, such as caves, and had a bite with venom.
"Beithir was a venomous and destructive creature, who lived in dark caves and corries in the mountains. "
Highland Mythology by Watson, E. C. (1908)
It was not one specific creature by the name, but instead a species.
Some were said to be killed, such as the one of Islay. It was first tempted by barrels of meat which were hiding spikes to be swallowed, then it was finished off by cannon-fire.
“The big beast of Scanlastle in Islay was one of this kind. It devoured seven horses on its way to Loch-in-daal.
A ship was lying at anchor in the loch at the time, and a line of barrels filled with deadly spikes, and with pieces of flesh laid upon them, was placed from the shore to the ship.
Tempted by the flesh, the ‘ loathly worm ‘ made its way out on the barrels and was killed by the spikes and cannon.”
Superstitions of the Highlands & Islands of Scotland by John Gregorson Campbell (1900)
There is one other tale in Popular Tales of the West Highlands by J. F. Campbell [1890], that mentions the Beithir. In this story, a boy is cursed by a shirt made of the skin of a Beithir.
The daughter of a wise woman falls in love with the boy, and agrees to several sacrifices in order to save him. So, the mother puts the boy into a cauldron with specific herbs, and the beithir transforms from a shirt, back into a serpant, and attacks the girl(as was expected). The girl cuts the beithir off (and her breast with it) and so the boy is freed from the curse.
They marry, she get’s a golden breast, then they go on adventures together.
Old Macdonald, travelling tinker, told me a long story, of which one scene represented an incantation more vividly to me than anything I have ever read or heard.
“There was a king and a knight, as there was and will be, and as grows the fir tree, some of it crooked and some of it straight, and he was a king of Eirinn,” said the old tinker, and then came a wicked stepmother, who was incited to evil by a wicked henwife.
The son of the first queen was at school with twelve comrades, and they used to play at shinny every day with silver shinnies and a golden ball. The henwife, for certain curious rewards, gave the stepdame a magic shirt, and she sent it to her step-son, ” Sheen Billy,” and persuaded him to put it on ; he refused at first, but complied at last, and the shirt was a beithir (great snake) about his neck.
Then he was enchanted and under spells, and all manner of adventures followed but at last he came to the house of a wise woman who had a beautiful daughter, who fell in love with the enchanted prince, and said she must and would have him.
“It will cost thee much sorrow,” said the mother.
“I care not,” said the girl, “I must have him.”
“It will cost thee thy hair.”
“I care not.”
“It will cost thee thy right breast.”
“I care not if it should cost me my life,” said the girl.
And the old woman agreed to help her to her will.
A caldron was prepared and filled with plants and the king’s son was put into it stripped to the magic shirt, and the girl was stripped to the waist. And the mother stood by with a great knife, which she gave to her daughter.
Then the king’s son was put down in the caldron, and the great serpent, which appeared to be a shirt about his neck, changed into its own form, and sprang on the girl and fastened on her; and she cut away the hold, and the king’s son was freed from the spells.
Then they were married, and a golden breast was made for the lady. And then they went through more adventures, which I do not well remember, and which the old tinker’s son vainly strove to repeat in August, 1860, for he is far behind his father in the telling of old Highland tales.

Okay so it appears like they're adapting the 2006 series the Immortal Iron Fist for season 3 and that really excites me. It was the first Iron Fist series I read and I love it. Not only does it introduce grumpy kung fu cowboy grandpa Orson Randall, but also the other champions and the Seven Capital Cities of Heaven, and Danny's former flame Sparrow who is another blind martial artist they can add to the MCU. But most of all, it's a Matt Fraction series! The fact that they're adapting a Matt Fraction series brings me such joy. (Now they need to adapt his Hawkeye series and I would leap for joy)

Mara’s the queen of the nomes!
For : @angie-serpant
-So-um- the other day I was watching little nightmare comic comps- and for what ever reason- there was one which said that Seven was the “nome king” and so—uh——this kinda happened- since you posted what the nomes would look like in your au- I decided that it’d be cool if they treated Mara like the queen like in that one comic- and this happened- and I hope you like it! -

My OC/MC Eise Introduction extended:
Character Description
Okays, so this is linked here from my post here about my MC regarding her relationships with the Obey Me Characters. The original prompt is here. This post is a more detailed description of Eise as a character...
Eise's characteristics:
She has a background in singing, dance and the Circus, so highly coordinated, acrobatic, flexible and athletic. Also used to model but doesn't bring that up with the characters, it's not a big deal to her. Intellectual, she does have a degree but never did anything with it, enjoys a reckless life of freedom instead. Though she still chooses to study ancient history, mythology, and the occult as a hobby. Loves a good book centered in those themes, and a sucker for the classics. She is very capable of acting proper and well mannered, and is quite spectacular at it really. It surprises the hell out of others when they witness it. She just prefers to enjoy acting like an idiot with little regard for consequences much of the time instead.
She's reckless, wild, and spontaneous... A very 'why not?' attitude. Extrovert, thrives in being active and around others, though does enjoy her much needed alone time as well. She's clever, sassy, and mischievous... Likes to keep people guessing despite initially coming off as open book. Has a male cat that she's raised who is much like her, he's her fur baby for sure.
She's extremely creative so arts and crafts galore: clothing design, jewelery making, painting, drawing, decorating, sculpting, writing, music--you name it, she dabbles in it! Humor ranging from Idiotic to Dark. Swears like a sailor, despite a wide vocabulary, so her language is quite the colorful blend of both. Night owl, extremely grumpy in the mornings. Caffine is a must. Alternative Haphazard punk style, favors purposely destroyed clothing, patchwork and buttons. Jack-of-all-trades. Quite the handyman.
Alpha type personality. Hot temper when provoked, with a tendency to get into fights. Doesn't start them usually but God damnit she sure as hell is gonna finish it. Relentless when driven. Extremely caring and protective of anyone she truely cares about, but couldn't give two shits if she doesn't. Comfortable with her body due to having a performer background, so shes not really shy at all, and sometimes uses that to her advantage for shits and giggles.
Eise's physical appearance:
I've included a few early sketches of mine of Eise. The first image is a front and back of her typical casual wear. I included the second image of her in beach wear I did once upon a time for a better sense of her tattoos. The third image is what I dreamed up for formal wear for her.
I went ahead and wrote out the description as well for a better sense of detail in case your brain is like mine, it's after the images. But you can feel free to scroll past the text.
Female with Androgynous tendencies. Light blue hair, usually kept up in a wildly messy bun with long bangs. Light blue eyes, usually rocking black wing-tip eyeliner and dark blue and black eye shadow. Red lipstick usually, tho occasionally nude, blue or black. Tall, 5'10. Pale complexion. Slim muscular build.
Standard Clothes: red bandana around the neck, black choker necklace and long gold chain with a pocket watch on the end. Ragedy black and blue striped crop tank top, high waisted blue denim Daisy dukes. Long brown leather belt. Thigh high black and blue striped socks attached to garters, thigh high charcoal combat boots, red leg warmers over the top. Hazard Yellow zip up hoodie covered in patches, usually hanging off the shoulders with rolled up sleeves. Various bracelets. And silver rings on each finger except ring fingers. Nose ring, tongue ring, nipple rings, triple pierced ears on both sides with another two on the upper right ear and an industrial bar on the upper left ear.
Tattoos: Sun on the right shoulder with clouds underneath, then rain, grass, then red flowers over green leaves and vines down the rest of the arm, compass rose on that elbow. "Outsider" across the chest. An small ankh over her sternum. Two X's under left eye. "Always" with an infinity symbol on left collarbone. A twisted armband around the top of the arm below the shoulder. "Darkside" on the inside of the left bicep. Alchemaic symbol for blood and a solid black triangle on the inner left Forearm. Green serpent on the left hip and side extending onto her lower back, apple by its mouth, three gold stars above it and "Fallen" in red beside the serpant along the spine. Left leg is an incomplete sleeve ranging from mid thigh to mid calf. The top is water with a starfish above the knee and a red and a blue fish with bubbles on the side below the hip. Pearl strand wrapped around the knee, teal scales as the backdrop. The calf is 9 bands, each with simple imagery depicting the 9 circles if hell. A crescent moon above the outside of the ankle. Down the back of the right calf are 7 small circles, the symbols from obey me of the Seven deadly sins, with a small pair of wings beneath them, just above the heel. The shadow hunter sigil on the top of the left foot.
FIN
So yeah that's pretty much Eise! It was a pleasure, I look forward to making more art of her in the future, and now you'll know who she is when she pops up or if you've seen her in some of my other fan art posts!
Also, shoot me an ask or a message if you're interested in me maybe creating an image of your OC alongside Eise in my style. Let's make an MC squad ✌️✌️

Zukaang soulmate au part 11
@mypureessence
@chaoticidiott
After having successfully crossed the serpants pass, and stopped the drill from entering the city, the gaang was finally in the walls of Ba Sing Se. However trying to contact the king was going to take much much longer than they hoped for.
With Ju Dee and the Dai Lee stunting both the search for Appa and the meeting with the earth king, the group was rather irritated to say the least. Let alone the lack of response to the flyers. Zuko decided to do some... investigation of his own. Sneaking out at night to follow the Dai Lee, which was surprisingly easy to do, they're not very observant of their surroundings; at least not enough to notice Zuko in his full blue spirit get up following them.
He managed to follow them for three nights, putting up posters with the group during the day while following the agents once the sun went down. On the third night he followed them to a lake, slipping into the tunnel after them he continued to go unnoticed.
"The bison-" he heard one of the agents say from down a hall, but not all of the conversation was audible until the last bit "-seven sixteen" a room number perhaps?
He managed to scale the tunnels undiscovered, which was amusing because the Dai Lee pride themselves on seeing everything. Nonetheless he managed to make it to the room and open it to find Appa.
Slipping in and shutting the door Appa let out an angry groan "shh, shh, Appa, its just me" he said as he removed his mask, watching the sky bison calm down upon seeing his companion. Zuko moved closer and spotted several thorns stuck in Appa's legs "oh, Appa," he said in a hushed whisper.
"Okay buddy, I'm gonna get you out of here but first I need to get these thorns out," he brushed the fur away from the thorn with one hand while grasping it with the other "this is going to hurt, but trust me you'll feel better afterwards" after that he pulled out each thorn one by one, gently brushing the fur and placing small kisses where the thorn was to try and comfort his long lost friend.
Once done with the thorns he cut the chains and shackles off. "Alright, lets get out of here"
"I figured I'd find you here" Zuko spun around to see his Uncle in the doorway "blue spirit huh?"
"Uncle I-"
"No need to explain, lets hurry and get Appa and ourselves out of here" and with that they got ontop of the bison, who had no saddle so it was difficult holding on.
Zuko didnt realize he had been out all night until they made it out of the lake and were met with the bright light of day. They only flew around for a bit but eventually ran into the rest of the group, with Appa taking a nice bite of Long Feng's leg just before the Dai Lee fled.
"Appa!" Aang shouted as he Katara, Sokka and Toph ran to hug their found friend.
Zuko leaned down and placed a quick kiss to the top of Aang's head, earning him an accidental headbutt which caused him to fall off the bison and slam onto he ground with a good "Oof!"
"Oh my gods! Zuko! I'm sorry!" Aang went to help Zuko up but when he grabbed Zuko's arm he was pulled down into a tight hug "hey!"
Zuko laughed and the two of them stood up "sorry I went missing last night-"
"And the two nights before that" Katara playfully glared at him
"Yeah, that too, I was tracking the Dai Lee, I'm less likely to be detected when I'm alone" he shrugged "but I guess Uncle is even less noticeable than the Dai Lee and me because he managed to follow me without either of us noticing him so"
Iroh simply laughed from the back of Appa as the group climbed on. "Now that we have Appa, why don't we go talk to the earth king?" Iroh suggested
"Yeah! I mean hey, we found Appa and escaped the dai Lee! We're on a roll!"
"A good hour after weeks of travel is not 'on a roll' Sokka" Katara shot him a tired glare.
"It might not be on a roll but it could be if we keep going" Zuko added "besides we have to get the invasion plan to the king, that was the main reason for coming here in the first place"
"Zuko and Sokka are right, we should at least try"
With the majority vote being for seeing the earth king the Katara caved and they went to the king, forcefully smashing his fancy door down and everything.
Of course Long Feng was there but it didn't take long to convince the king about what was happening. Revealing the bite mark on Long Feng's leg, taking them to the destroyed lake Laogai, and then finally the defeated fire nation drill outside the wall.
The King had Long Feng arrested and took the group back to the palace where they found out that there were letters kept from them by the Dai Lee under orders from Long Feng.
A letter from Toph's mother, An intelligence letter for Sokka and Katara from their dad's fleet, and a letter for Aang from a guru at the eastern air temples.
"I hate to say it, but we should split up," Sokka said while looking at the letters "but one of us should stay behind and help the ki-"
"I'll stay behind" Zuko suggested which got him confused looks "i mean you all got letters calling you to different places right? Uncle and I didnt get any,"
"Not that we'd expected any, being fugitives from our nation" Iroh added with a hearty chuckle
"Right, so we can just stay back and watch over things while you guys go"
"Zuko, you, are the best... flameo... ever!" Sokka said before hugging Zuko, who only pried him off
"Slow down there buddy. But you're right, I am."
With the trio loading up Appa with supplies Zuko pulled Aang to the side first chance he could, taking hold of his left hand "Aang, before you go, incase I dont see you for a longer time than we could both hope for... I have something I want to tell you... I-" I love you. I dont want you to go. I'm sorry for everything. Please don't leave me. He wanted to say all of those things but instead Sokka found them and proceeded to give Aang a noogie, regardless of the fact that he was bald. Letting out a sigh.
"Sorry, Gotta go, I'll see you soon, okay?" And with that Aang pulled Zuko down to place a kiss on his cheek but Zuko turned his head just in time to plant that kiss on the airbenders lips. He held him there with his hand on the back of his neck, knowing full well that they just became a spectacal to the others around them. But not really caring when Aang immediately returned the kiss with hands on either side of his neck.
Of course they pulled back only seconds later, with Zuko resting their foreheads together "come back to me, promise?"
Aang let out a laugh "you doubt me?" He moved Zuko's hand from the back of his neck and placed a quick kiss to his knuckles "I'll make it back to you, I promise"
"Alright! Alright! Enough with the oogies! Let's get the show on the road!" Sokka complained loudly, breaking the moment and making the pair separate with flushed cheeks before they parted ways.
Watching the bison fly away Zuko felt a hand on his shoulder. Expecting his uncle he was surprised to find the king himself was the owner of said hand "while I know you two are soulmates, perhaps save the snogging for private times? Okay?"
Zuko covered his face and let out a groan "right, right sorry"
"Im only teasing, that was one romantic send off" the king let out a short laugh before turning to head back inside "come now, we should prepare for the Kyoshi warriors"
Zuko looked up at the sky one last time, the bison now out of sight, Aang now too far for him to see. He let out a sigh and turned to follow the king. He knows Aang can handle nearly anything, so why does he have this heavy sense of dread washing over him?
Something wasn't right, but he could figure out what.

I'm still curious as to how you see the organization members as dragons? 8U
My info can be found here and here.
Xemnas - Lernaean Hydra - an ancient, nameless water beast. More heads than any other dragon - when one is cut off, two more grow back in its place. Had poisonous breath so powerful that even its tracks were deadly. The Hydra of Lerna was killed by Hercules as the second of his Twelve Labors.
Xigbar - St. George’s Dragon - An ancient British legend tells the story of a flying, fire-breathing dragon who lived in a lake near a village called Silene. To keep the dragon from killing everyone, they fed it sheep and sacrificed young maidens. The king’s daughter was to be sacrificed to it when St. George rode upon his horse and pierced the dragon with his lance.
Xaldin - Oriental Dragon - Found in folklore and mythology all over East Asia. Unlike the European dragons, which were known for violence and evil deeds, Oriental dragons were known to be guardians and protectors of heaven. They were also said to be protectors of the Earth’s elements and weather, such as the wind and rain.
Vexen - Classic Western Dragon - four legs and a pair of wings, which makes them different form any other kind of vertebrate. In older illustrations from the Middle Ages, most resembled winged lizards with talons and serpentine tails.
Lexaeus - Wyvern - The largest dragon species. Spends most of it’s time flying and skywriting with smoke. Around 50 feet long and 18-20 feet high. They commonly eat elephants or other large African mammals and make nests on crags. They have two legs and a barbed tail.
Zexion - Cockatrice - a pseudo dragon thought to be a relative of the dragon and phoenix. A heavy appetite and poisonous venom, about 3 feet long and 1-2 feet high. They build nests in pine trees and sometimes in ships if the ships are confused with trees.
Saix - Welsh Red Dragon - The red dragon is extremely important to the Welsh people and history records mention of red dragons as early as 830 AD in a legend concerning two dragons engaged in battle beneath a hill. The two dragons were tricked and buried deep underground so their screams of war would not disrupt the kingdom.
Axel - Firedrake - From German and Norse mythology, the firedrake is usually found in a dave, guarding it’s treasure. The firedrake is the dragon that is defeated in the end of the epic poem, Beowulf, and Smaug, the famous dragon in The Hobbit.
Demyx - Golden Dragon - found in tales across cultures, from Greek to Norse mythology. Have long tails and massive wings, as well as two large metallic horns and whiskers around the mouth. It smells of saffron and incense, and are said to be wise and friendly.
Luxord - African Dragon - usually not even recognized or thought of as dragons. More on the line of large serpents or giant snakes seen several times throughout African culture.
Marluxia - Quetzalcoatl - a Mesoamerican deity whose name in the Nahuatl language means “feathered-serpant.” Related to the gods of the wind, of Venus, of the dawn, of merchants and of arts, crafts, and knowledge.
Larxene - Biblical Dragon - Dragons are mentioned in the Bible many times. The Book of Revelations 12:3 states ”And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.” The dragon was cast out, “that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world.”
Roxas and Xion - Dragonnet - A small dragon that is rare, though not any less vicious than the others. Very similar to a classic Western Dragon, different only in size. They live and hunt in packs, have poisonous blood, and stay away from settled areas. They prefer to live on cold mountaintops.

Balem Abrasax
Weaving my way through the diverse roles so articulately and beautifully played by Eddie Redmayne a classical thespian in modern flesh I stumbled upon his Oscar worthy performance Balem Abrasax. I had heard of such a performance before but at the time found myself too consumed in the roles in his career that showcased emotion above profit. My understanding being that the oscars are often given frivolously at the flash of a check bearing more than Seven numbers. Jupiter Ascending’s plot intrigued me and I continued past the featurettes and trailers. What drew me in most was the youthful face of Eddie redmayne’s character being betrayed by a soft sometimes raspy voice. A voice whose age far succeeded the owner’s appearance. I was correct in my pondering as I watched the film. His body seemingly in the early stages of aging washed of lines and silver hairs in a single bath. Reminiscent of the youthful powers of the red witch’s broach. This led me to the realization of hundreds of lifetimes playing god hundreds of lifetimes surrounded by those playing into the ego of an already inflated monarch. Hundreds of lifetimes to replay relive and regret the decisions made in the past. The cost of his youthful look almost too high for the average mortal but for him an equal trade. A ruler’s health is everything in the eye of his subject’s. A sick king is a sick kingdom. A mortal is still a mortal and his mind however plagued by remorse and regressed memories held on by a thread as evident from his outbursts. A child never maturing with the responsibilities of a God, my heart fluttered at the story of his cruel upbringing and his misled ideaology that profit raised mere men to the level of immortals. No one deserves the unfortunately misguided hand of wrath outstretched by him. He did not deserve the self loathing the solitude and serpant like snickers from his own siblings. Your heart turns cruel with no one to warm it. And although he brought an end to many undeserving I feel his possible fiery end was unjust. Repeating a cycle so engrained in his mind and soul he felt his world would collapse if it broke...This leads me and many others to lend their hearts and writing skills to Lord Balem, in an attempt to rewrite the script and soften his stone heart. Join me and let me show you how I may soften the soul of a cruel king.
