    It was Thaidakar that he saw, but he wasn’t in a cloak. His face was split into a laughing smile, a handsome woman next to him, grinning. A dark haired teenager with more resemblance to Thaidakar chuckled. Was that… was that Spook? And there was another man in his late teens or early twenties with the same red hair as the woman, but the same smile as Thaidakar. Thaidakar looked up, saw Platypus. His smile widened even further. And his eyes… they were much different from all the other times Platypus had seen them. They were free from a guilt, a deep wallowing guilt that had seemed to escape notice normally, but now, when seeing the guilt free Thaidakar… He looked as if he had true joy. ”Come, Platypus, my son, join us! We are about to start our picnic! Valaran brought grilled cheese.” Thaidakar smiled, offering his hand to Platypus from about ten to twenty feet away, “We can all live happily together. We’re going to one of Spook’s baseball games after. He lost the last one, but he’s been practicing so much, I’m sure he’ll win this one!” He ruffled his son's hair. Spook yelped, “Dad!” Fourteen year old Spook was a far cry from the Spook Platypus knew, but it was unmistakably him. ”Come,” Thaidakar said to Platypus, “We can be happy.” The woman smiled at Platypus, “Kar has said so much about the honorary third son of ours. I’d be happy to have you in our home.” The smiles were so real, so genuine. The thing was that they truly were real, there was no deception in those eyes or behind their words. ”Come,” Thaidakar said again, a sad smile on his face, “TLT will have other heroes, that’s how it goes. Cannot one finally get a happy ending and leave it to another. Can’t you rest after all your battles, after all the injustices. And then we can be a happy family, without world ending threats, big villains and, yes, without Darkness at our heels. It can happen, I swear it.”

    I had this part already written, but I was going to write this bigger thing with like Micheal and Spook. However, I kinda quit on it. So here ya go- "no," Thaidakar said sternly, "You're not on a quest." He laughed quietly, having a sip of super lava. "You are going through three trials to prove whether you can live or not, to prove your balance. We shall begin." Thaidakar waved a hand forward and Platypus's eyes closed. When he opened them, he was in a place of pure happiness... Each being he met said to him, "You can stay here, Platypus! Please stay!" Indeed, it was the truth. Platypus could stay there and find eternal happiness for all time. All he had to do was say a few words. "I will abandon my quest to stop Darkness." But would he say them?

    She's been a staff on the hunger games stuff for over a week, mate.
  6. Thaidakar the Ghostblood
    And why is that?
  7. Thaidakar the Ghostblood
    My sister (this is a joke.)

    Almost all of us are humans, yes. The staff are steel inquisitors, spiked with good humor and sarcasm. Panda, Eddie and Elan stole three mini versions of these spikes.

    I just came up with a killer idea for a book.

    Prince whatever is brother to a jerk. That jerk, when their parents die, arranges for his brother to be kicked out of the castle and taken far away and used as a servant on some plantation. In the meantime, the prince's fiancé is in grief. Overtime, she and the prince's brother get closer. However, the prince's brother is using the prince's journal to know how to court his brother's wife. They keep getting closer over the years.

    We see a montage of the prince trying to escape, but losing hope. Then he finds a way to escape and does so. It takes him a whole adventure where he slowly learns more and more information about what had been happening. He gains a load of friends.

    Then, finally, in the climax of the story, he breaks into the castle and arrives during the wedding. He strides into the ballroom where the wedding is taking place. He is unmasked. People gasp. The prince's brother doesn't know why and the bride looks around, trying to see what is happening.

    The Prince, with a hand on his sword, proclaimed, "I, Prince [name] of the [name] kingdom have returned." He pauses, watching the horror on his brother's face. "And I will have my vengeance on you, brother, for all your crimes against the Kingdom, my wife and me. You are a usurper and do not deserve the title of 'brother.' I will strike you where you stand, or else you will come down and fight me like a man."

    "You are no swordsman! And-"

    "Aren't I?" He drew his sword and a collective gasp rose all around him.

    "It... it can't be..." the prince's brother said determinedly, drawing his own sword. "You... you are..."

    "Yes, brother," the Prince said, striding forward, cape drifting from his shoulders to the ground. "I'm the one who's been wrecking your ports. I'm the one who's been branding his blade into the bodies of your army captains and sending them back to you with their heads in baskets. I am the one who's been wreaking havoc to your ports. I intend to do the same to you, fair brother." He looked around at the dumbfounded faces. "Oh, did he not tell you?"

    The prince's brother was sputtering now, rising from his seat, "I will not have this in my court!"

    "Then let us fight," the Prince said, sword held at his side. "Or shall I fulfill my offer and slit your neck. I would not like to do so, for I see that my wife's wedding dressed would be stained by your filthy blood right next to you."

    "You dare-"

    "I dare."

    "Then we shall fight!" The false prince stepped down from the throne, advancing forward aristocratically. "I should've known that all the guards in the world wouldn't stop you."

    "And I should've known you didn't know where to keep your hands, especially in regards to women," the Prince replied, testing a few blows against his brother's defense.

    "Why, I'd better-"

    "Then do so."

    The prince's brother launched a flurry of attacks. With each blow, the Prince blocked with ease, moving back and forth as his brother attempted to advance, but found his way impeded by a brick wall in the form of legwork and a blade.

    "I see you have learned well, brother."

     

     

    And so on... I may have gotten a little invested there. It's going to basically, if I ever write it, the Princess Bride if Inigo Montoya was the main character combined with the Count of Monte Cristo.

    Hello humans
  11. Thaidakar the Ghostblood

    getting beaten by spammers in Brawlhalla is ridiculous.

    They don't have honor, they don't know how to fight artfully.

    The just press and move forward, like what-

    No defense, but they just keep hammering offense over and over again... that storming wolf move....

      Please don’t die thaid

  12. Thaidakar the Ghostblood

    tis a foul bot, but it is not a fowl bot. I am disappointed in that.

  13. Thaidakar the Ghostblood
    interesting. Rn I'm trying to make a scene by scene thing and idk if it's really working for me. I might go into a more plot point based thing and scenes that I've already pictured. Idk tho. I have kinda just thrown in prompt-ish things with what I need to start showing and introducing throughout it and what points I need to progress.
  14. Thaidakar the Ghostblood
    If your thought Children of Dune was boring… I have a feeling you will not enjoy God Emperor. It’s a lot of monologuing
  15. Thaidakar the Ghostblood
    True, but there's room for things that not everyone will want to be a part of. And, besides, I already call the position of professional shooter of every idea ever.
  16. Thaidakar the Ghostblood
    Figuring out my first real outline for a book, and for a trilogy. Any advice y'all have? I know that I have to just do it to know how I need to do it. Besides general advice, I want to know if anyone knows how detailed they should be. I'm trying to me really lean because I want to leave the writing for the writing, but I don't know.
  17. Thaidakar the Ghostblood
    How many characters?
  18. Thaidakar the Ghostblood

    Hey, where'd you go?

  19. Thaidakar the Ghostblood
    Not from a greenie.
  20. Thaidakar the Ghostblood
    See, someone gets it-
  21. Thaidakar the Ghostblood

    Oh my gosh.

    I just realized.

    The sequel I'm planning for the book I'm planning is basically going to be Captain America and the Winter Soldier combined with Assassin's Creed and Heroes of Olympus.

    Except that Cap is just in his 20s and ends up with Black Widow.

  22. Thaidakar the Ghostblood
    I do recommend at least the first two books. They work well together as a duology. lol.
  23. Thaidakar the Ghostblood
    Yeah, I've heard it gets explicit in book five. Like very explicit. Book four was on the edge, and I was feeling uneasy by the end. OH MY GOSH I JUST REMEMBERED THAT ONE SCENE. *pukes* The one with the cliff and the servant- That scene........... I don't know what Frank Herbert was on when he wrote that last quarter of the book, but I don't want to know.
  24. Thaidakar the Ghostblood
    The third one isn't. I know the fifth is. The fourth... Well, the fourth is kinda like the crossing over. God Emperor is a weird book. I have no idea if I'm going to read it again or not, mostly because of... well... (spoilers) God Emperor is worth at least reading once, but I don't think... I don't think it matches the other books. I can see Frank Herbert's plan and what he is trying to do, but like- Ahhhhhhhhh. God Emperor was so awesome until it wasn't...
  25. Thaidakar the Ghostblood
    Google is the path to many memes some consider to be... hilarious.
