How?” Tondon stares, dumbfounded. “Uh, I guess now?” @Edema Rue @Unintelligenius @The Stormfather @LightRinger

Corin hummed softly. “How utterly…boring. I’ll tell you what. Start by telling me something that hurts. Something you’ve never told anyone. Your worst moment. You have one, don’t you?” 31 minutes ago, The Bookwyrm said: Tinker grabbed the wounded eagle as it barrelled into the ground after it's strike. He took the silver knife and stabbed it in the throat. @Edema Rue It twisted, its unnaturally sharp talons clawing at him in one last, desperate moment. Then it sinks to the snow, dead.

She touched a hand to her cheek, and the three middle fingers came back deep red. She gripped a fistful of snow and held it to her cheek and nose.

That’s better…” Corin placed a glowing gemstone on the counter. “One living, skybreaker shard blade, at your service. But first…” He stared at Roy for a long moment. “You’re a sand master, aren’t you? Give up your ability to use sand.”

It was still him, but it was as if he was being worn as a disguise; the costume that was Corin was now being worn by someone…else. “You are entertainment.

His voice was filled with a mixture of bitterness and resignation. "Entertainment, huh? You get off on other people's pain. Fine." He took a deep breath, steadying himself, his fists clenching and unclenching. "You want me to give up my sand mastery? Consider it done." Roy's gaze hardened, but there was a flicker of vulnerability in his eyes. "I’ll give it up. Not because you demanded it, but because I've already lost so much. One more sacrifice won't break me. You want a show? Tell the Capitol to watch closely."

Why’d you have to cut twice?” @LightRinger @The Stormfather @Unintelligenius Quote I agree with the meme. Cut down the tree already! Also, I know how shardblades work so Astra doesn’t need to answer in any real detail. Edited June 10, 2024 by Dragonheir My tags weren’t working, but now they are, so I fixed them
