Challenge #04632-L248: Better Than Perfection

Madness! Two counties in Beruvan have risen against the most gracious and able king Nydon, declaring for an imposter prince who dares to claim a name similar to his Goose Cursed daughter. Worse still, a conniving elf and traitorous twin mages are with him. Nydon dispatches his most loyal troops, certain their leader (who always showed affection to the princess) will do what needs to be done. -- Deathshead419

[AN: Referring to an earlier tale here: https://peakd.com/fiction/@internutter/challenge-04607-l223-ultimatum-solution ]

The peasants were revolting in the district of Halhollow. How dare they! After everything Nydon did for them. He had kept their entire district under his exacting principals, and enforced them at sword point. All for the low, low price of their taxes.

Their neighbour, the district of Sunhill, was also revolting. They'd ridden the tax collectors out of the district on a rail, and were rallying with Halhollow under the banner of someone calling himself Prince Reginald.

There were reports of his twin mages and the traitor Elf in their number.

"Sweetheart," sighed Bolvoth. "You love

A: What did I say about demon summoning?!

Challenge #02407-F217: Come Around Again

That feeling when you nearly die saving someone only to have them handed over to what you were protecting them from while you're unconscious. -- RecklessPrudence

"Go," I said, my voice barely a whisper. "The people in that tavern are friendly. I just... I need a little rest." The last one, to be precise, but you don't tell a five-year-old any of that. "Go tell them who you are. They will help you."

She may be six in a few weeks, but

Challenge #02381-F191: Viva La Revolution

The peppy one with beautiful blond hair is always in black and the one with dyed-black spiky hair is always in soft pastels. -- Anon Guest

She wore braids. Neat, tidy braids she wound into a knot of a bun in the back of her head. The only thing that changed about that 'do was the length and volume of the hair, and that was progress that was annually cut back. The rest of her choices were pretty much anything she liked
