Through the Living Wrath

Oop so did I man i excite tho

He seemed to be in great pain, kneeling and out of breath as soon as the one guiding him left. Ann scampered over to Nikolas, looking at his face, which was slightly burnt. “I think it’s him! Is it him?” The grey man, Death, was speaking silently with one of those in charge. The one who claims to be Death… is not Death. But his purpose is good. There is only one way that man can be healed. You can call me Ember. I’m… not here right now. It’s a long trek, and unlike “Death” there, I can’t teleport through the Winter.

tomorrow!

He was indeed a child of this manor, but early in his life, their sole vehicle was attacked by a bear, with him and the Servant Ann within. I saved them, though they may not know it. Ann, unable to return to the manor, raised him as her brother, but as stores of coal ran out, she was forced to join the Masks for their protection. Nikolas did the same. And then, Ann was killed by the Masks, because she was unwilling to take down a mark. I am not sure who the mark was, but I have light suspicions.

Hopefully. Right now, the warmonger is spreading rumors in a reincarnated body that he was the one to slay… himself. He’s setting himself up as a white knight, and, in the short term, I want to use Nikolas to offset that before it gets out of hand. And in the long term, Nikolas will be an example. But he’s dying. I managed to heal him from the worst of his wounds, but he needs help - he needs the Benefits of being a Servant, like you had so long ago. And like your bard. Can you contact the other grey folk, help argue my case?

Last time Jakob had a “son,” Jakob had to execute him personally. He became known as a vicious warmongerer. And right now, that son is back, spreading rumors that will in no way help his pain. I want to show him that his power, his intervention, it can help, not just hurt. And it starts by saving these people.

Kang had taken a seat at a separate table from his supposed employer, studying him while the nervous one approached.

@RoyalBeeMage The figure looked at the soldier, sighing before continuing. “I am Death, and this is my son, Nikolas.” He looked at the two prisoners. “I would ask you to fear him.” The grey man dissolved into dust, then reformed behind the soldier. He gave a sad smile, and put a cloth to his mouth, setting him down as he fell unconscious. He looked to you two, undoing your bonds setting a warm lantern next to them. ”You can’t stay here - the lantern has limited fuel. You can either go back up that road, where you’ll come to a Noble-controlled town. Or, you can take the trek to their destination, which was recently taken by the Masks.” He hesitated. “Both are rather unpleasant at the moment, but there is not much of an alternative.” He stepped towards Nikolas, wrapped in a blanket and staring blankly. “If you’ll excuse me, I need to find a healer.” The two stepped into the night, quickly disappearing from sight. [In the main hall] The doors to the main hall burst open in a gust of wind, revealing two figures. A loud voice echoed out. ”I am Death, and I bring with me my son. I gift him to you, for a time, to receive your care and so you may nurture him back to health.” The other figure was Nikolas. @Spark of Hope To Felicity: This is my plan. @Born of Mist With his coming, a silent question entered his mind. Who are you? @Kansas Stormcursed Though it’s not really my thing, I am curious to see how you handle this. The words were spoken directly in his mind, gentle but strong. There was no indication of its source.

@NameIess @Hawks @Kansas Stormcursed hey yall im back for a bit WrathRecap: Glowy portal thing lead to glowy realm. There be black spire that go touch sun yay. Little gnome guy looked really shifty and he told you to come with him in his MoashMobile for an audience with Wish, who’s a real jerk. @Dragonheir um you were in fact going to its realm bc it wanted to speak to you, right?

Sorry ill reply soon Got a break from school but man school is so very owwy

Wrath snorts awake. “AAAH! Wow. I was sleeping for TEN pages.” ”That’s criminal” He looks to @CoderDrag0n8. “Do you have any ashes of human/sapient life remains?” Spirit flips him off.

The twice thing is indeed just speculation, but it’s appeared multiple times with good evidence. I’ll try to get the thread linked here.

"Hhhmm... I'd say it depends on the context and the author. And on Spirit's mood." "Yeah, I actually may soon be... actually.. really... sleeping, up in the real fizz place. I stand by my word choice." Wrath nods, "I understand. I'll try to limit it, but it does offer some comedic value." Of gives a thumbs up.

hhhmmmm... interesting Now, question. Do you prefer "Move" and "Separate" (i think that's better word for it) over previous theories of Emotion Dawnshards?

Of nodded. “Yes, but this is not a literary work is it? …I would agree with you, but Spirit is giving me a look.”

Of adjusted his glasses. “Actually, these tenses,” he took them off, wiping them carefully with a cloth neatly stored in a pocket within his jacket, “are not exactly contradictory. Perhaps the speaker had done the first action in the past, but then - speaking at the time of the action - does the second action in the present. Then implies some passing of time.”
