  1. Everywhere Cricket looked, there were no survivors. He saw people he used to now, too. Mistress Joan, his old nurse, Master Guvs, the fat cook. Each new corpse was a chain over his heart. "I did this." he muttered softly. "I killed these people, abandoning them to their fate." He strode through the ashes, finding Tam. "Go back." he said, voice ragged. "Go home. This is my fault. This is a war that I will end. Go back to the party, pretend you never knew me. It's safer for you that way. Safer for all of you. This is my fight."
  2. Perseus accepted the blade, shivering knowing the power he held. "This is it. Endings. I will bear it well, Moni. I will warn you. The path we must take is unlike any you've sought before. Its peril is beyond any other. I seek to cleanse Ragnorok, a hell. That means driving out every last demon, avenging every last suffering Skavi. Will you see this through?"
  3. "Twelve types of spores, twelve seas. Simple as that."
  4. "I've got more Ruin in me, myself. Always breaking things. I've got a spike in me and everything. I'm practically a Steel Inquisitor."
  5. Perseus smiled. "Excellent! I will need Endings briefly, though, in order to get the gods' attention. You'll be near me, then."
  6. Proof: That's why they broke their oaths! Theory: Renarin is a dragon.
  7. Proof: It's like Undercover Boss! Kelsier's investigated those nasty Rosharan Ghostbloods! Theory: Syl is a highspren in disguise.
  8. Proof: Adolin is angry, and Dalinar is honorable. Mash that together and you get Kaladin! Theory: Shallan is actually the leader of the Ghostbloods.
  9. we played telestrations at debate camp once using terms related to the resolution. I had to draw "just war theory" utilitarianism" and other weird things and they came out insane.
  10. Cricket dashed into the ruins of the castle, searching for survivors. He used his powers to extinguish fires as he ran. "I am not called the Avenger for nothing. The Skavi are tortured, forced to work fourteen hours a day, fight in meaningless wars for entertainment. I, myself, was lashed endlessly for decades, till my blood ran dry, as punishment. If they will it, you cannot die, only feel pain. So I never died, though a river of blood ran beneath. They are monsters."
  11. "Fylen, young sir." he said again.
  12. Cricket stopped in front of Tam as they rounded a bend. He stared in shock. The castle had been destroyed. Above the charred ruins, a cloud of smoke lay, and all the grass within a hundred yards was withered. Corpses lay scattered around. Cricket fell to his knees, staring in shock. "Not... again." he whispered, tears rolling down his face. Several yards ahead, massive words were carved into the stone. They read. YOU THOUGHT THE WAR WAS OVER, CHAISLER? IT IS ONLY BEGUN. SANGENT'S CAPTURE WAS A TEMPORARY INCONVENIENCE. RETURN, OR YOUR FRIENDS WILL PAY THE PRICE. "The gods are scared of Plotblades and will view me as a threat, so if I have one, they banish me. Simple?"
  13. "Yeah. It's a nice place." Cricket said, walking into the glade. "The castle is a little bit away."
  14. "They're called the Ghostbloods, madam." he said, giving a mocking bow.
  15. Cricket nodded, opening a rift in reality. The portal led to a pleasant wooded glade. "This is where I first shifted. It's near the castle." Cricket said, striding through the portal.
  16. "We are rather stupid, aren't we?"
  17. "I know where it is." he said, looking around. "Are you ready?"
  18. "I... I need to go check." he said, getting up. "I need to go home and make sure. Tam... will you come with me?"
  19. "Nope." he agreed, settling back. Then he froze. "Tam." he said urgently. "The hunters found Welderan, and destroyed it. They knew where I was. What if they found my home?"
  20. "Against my religion." he said. "The Survivor did stupid stuff too."
  21. Fylen smiled, Pushing the bag (which had a metal clasp) out of her hand and onto the dirt.
  22. Cricket was silent. "No." he said finally. "I feel bad for leaving, yet I'm not sure how long I could've have survived as an earl. I wasn't made to rule."
  23. *gives more cookies, with hot sauce on top*
  24. I'm getting cookies. It's my brother's birthday. So we get cookies. Want some? *gives cookies*
  25. "Course not!" he said, tossing it up and catching it. "Shall we check out the village?"
