Challenge #03596-I307: The Doom of the Thrice-sworn King

He hasn’t done any thing wrong. If anything, I’m the hopeless one here, of course instilling fear and murdering humans is not right. Plus, waging a full-scale war against them is an unforgiving act. Even so, there’s something I want to change, even if it's built on rocky foundations. I want humans to unite. Even if it's using the coming the next demon lord as a pretext.

Peace cannot be realized on ideals alone.

He's got some real power. If I were to leave things be, this holy sword will vanquish the demon lord of this era. And history will repeat itself. In a world without a demon lord the hero will be considered a threat, his fate will end with him being disposed of or turn into a weapon. Regardless, a lot of blood will spilled.

By the hands of another human being. -- Anon Guest

Prophecy is one hell of a thing. Sometimes literally. Ever since twelve near-illiterate men in chains fled up a frozen mountain. Ever since one of those made a literal deal with a devil, seers and soothsayers have been foretelling the rise of the Thrice-Sworn King, the Demon Lord of the mountaintop. Bound and destined to conquer half a continent.

Prophecies have a way of coming true no matter what. Nevertheless, there are those who struggle against them. Nobody faced with a prophecy like the Demon Lord, conqueror of all, could think that it was a good thing for him to finally turn up.

Safeguards and measures to stop him have been long waiting the heralds of his dread appearance. Including the family sword. It's been imbued with numerous charms to protect the innocent, to never harm the righteous, and to strike at the heart of evil. It is, it must be noted, more than a little bit chatty. Especially lately.

Friday, Unfuckening and Weekend PLNs

Today's the day of catio cleaning, starter feeding, and perhaps some extra home unfucking on the side.

Mum's got the go-ahead to fix her house, and that means my weekend is potentially booked to help her with her stuff.

Fun times ahead. Whee.

Until bulletins to the contrary, I shall carry on with the routine as previously outlined. Fingers crossed, but if Game Night doesn't happen, you know why.

I panicked and forgot it was Friday, today. Rushed to prepare for the

Challenge #03595-I306: Accidental Family

A traveling merchant meets a lost infant dragon with no family anywhere to be seen. They adopt the young dragon, caring for them, and search for the hatchling's family while traveling the trade routes. -- DaniAndShali

Adult Dragons are huge. Everyone knows this. What might surprise people is that the babies are ludicrously tiny. Orgoloth the Mad found a creature ze initially mistook for a microdragon huddling in the shrubbery. Ze wondered briefly why it was moist and sticky, but a quick

Thursday, Spinning Plates

I have to stop wanting to do more things. In the space of an early wakening, I almost volunteered myself for: doing audiobooks, making animations, creating some variety of serial entertainment for YouTube, and maybe being involved with the filming of A Devil's Tale.

Fortunately, Beloved is 90% of my self-restraint.

I kept to reading her some chapters and leaving it there.

I must focus on finishing some projects before beginning others. Making more work to do is just going to make

Challenge #03594-I305: Impossible Quest of Certain Doom

“I am part angel, demon, Treant, mermaid, kobold, dwarf, elf, dark elf, gnome, aarakocra, aasimar…

[Two Minutes Later] oh and I have an elder dragon soul.”

“By the stars what are you?”

“In all honesty I don’t know, but everything cancels each other out so, human?” -- Anon Guest

[AN: One of my lovely readers, DaniAndShali had these fun words to say about this prompt: "LOL Man, this one reminds me of this song!! Mis - Conceptions by Mercedes Lackey! https:

Wednesday, Wordpress, Dates, and Other Shenanigans

Today, I might have an opinion on Wordpress. I might not. I don't really know. Possibly about the past being another country. OR it might be another installment of A Devil's Tale the fanficcy variant.

Depends how bloody tired I am by the time I get that shit together.

Gotta tag a week, gotta add 250 words to the 2K summary so I could get at least halfway through that word limit. Gotta set dress two more chambers, gotta clean and sort

Challenge #03593-I304: Not a Biological Weapon

The pirate captured the human for ransom. The human is having tummy problems and lays on the cool floor to try to ease the ache. Human nearly gasses the pirates into unconsciousness. -- Fighting Fit

[AN: Significant research has shown that farts are not toxic to humans, but this is a plausibility if the Pirates are Havenworlders]

Some might say they were the luckiest Pirates ever to roam the Alliance's Edge. That opinion varies once the full disclosure of their exploits comes

Tuesday, Patreon and Vet Visit

Jolie is headed back to the vet's today, to see how she's healing up post-surgery. She should soon be back on the kibbles.

Soon to be supplanted with very different (expensive?) kibbles that are better for her teeth. Not looking forward to finding those, to be honest.

But I also want to be a good cat parental, so I gotta do the thing.

I also have Patreon posts to create, a Tale Foundry entry to concoct, and all the other things I

Challenge #03592-I303: Behaviour Modification Strategies

It's amazing how well people behave when they realize the station is protected by security officers who are Pax Humanis members! -- DaniAndShali

[AN: Given the general sociopathy of Pax Humanis, these would have to be the milder cases]

Welcome to the Edge Territories. Welcome to New-held Station. Things can get a little wild whilst the Alliance protocols do some catching up. To that end, every cogniscent in this newly-acquired area has access to a full explanation of the Alliance's rules. Including

Long Monday, No Plans

It's currently past 2 in the morning and I have had THE WORST connectivity issues with Twitch, Game night, and my peeps across the seas.

I might not be able to stream story time. Either way, I shall be recording and uploading later on.

As per normal, I have no expectations for today. If anything gets done, it's all gravy.

So let's see how much gravy happens.

Challenge #03591-I302: Intervention

A person who was lonely, severely depressed, and thought they had nothing left to live for, saw the colorful vest of Mr. Sunshine and begged the man to kill them. Mr. Sunshine got the person tied up and carried safely to therapists. Then proceeded to find out why this person was self-destructive and... deal with it. -- The New Guy

Stuart was tired of being terrified. Ever since the

Sunday, Brunch Complications

Beloved is taking me to a brunch day, so I had to stream early and throw to Tale Foundry. Huzzah.

No time to do the prompt early, either.

I'll probably do some of that on Monday.

Today, soon as I post everything I have to offer, I am preparing for a day out in the sunshine. Grass-touching may occur.

I probably need it.

...but I'm still taking my iPad because I never know when I might have a chance to do some

Challenge #03590-I301: Do Not Follow

Had you ruled in my stead, I’d feared that your demise might mirror hers, I could not let that happen. Not again. But if I let you choose your destiny, would you instead spend it resenting me? -- Anon Guest

There's more than one kind of King who never wanted the crown. In the case of Prince-Constort Kanutus, beloved of the Warrior Queen Haalvig, having the crown and the throne meant the death of his wife. Known far and wide as

Saturday, Painful Start

I had some intestinal issues that highlight my need to self-maintain a bit more vigorously. Acquire meal schedule. Have healthier meals. Eat more fibre.

It's a little painful to sit at the moment. I shall leave it at that.

So far, my 2K summary stands at 500 words and I need to get more words in there.

I want to sleep through the day again, and that may yet happen.

Beloved is off doing a long walk for exercise and I am

Challenge #03589-I300: For Every Trash...

A polity has developed a policy of shooting off ALL waste products from their planet, not to a garbage planet, but to the center of their galaxy, to a black hole. Instead of recycling. It gets interesting when they start running out of resources in their solar system to make new materials, because waste goes to the black hole, instead of being recycled. -- Anon Guest

[AN: Even at ludicrous speeds, someone could catch that thing before it even reaches a black
