Seeker of Thrones 2-13
Chapter: 2
“The deeps are treacherous,” said Enyis. “It’s cold, and my ribs hurt. I fear my poor heart will give out before long. How on earth can I protect it, if not by steel?”
“You can’t,” said the Boar King, “A hero must always wear his heart on the outside.”
And so Allison, having cast her friends away, found herself in desperate need of one.
What a dick thing to say, Cio
Well, now she just needs to indulge in some of her own shipping I guess, grab her about the waist, etc…
Looks like Cio’s heart-spilling is about to be reciprocated. Hopefully.
I just now realized that Allison’s hair color changed; I had to go back a whole bunch of chapters to find the moment that her blondeness somehow vanished. Wasn’t it the part where she ate the Fruit of Hastet and her age was rewound?
It was. That was actually a major plot point.
That conversation must have really confused you the first time.
Being the regional manager of a large Grand Dragon Bank branch, keeping track of the finances of a thousand planets, and having blood made of 24 carat gold can make it easy to forget little details, and even major plot points. ENT for my golden nosebleeds.
An offering of comfort. A song of sorrow.
Both of their hearts are on the outside. O the yearning!!!
A king, however, must always hide his heart beneath the most rigid of stone, lest the weight of the crown crush it to paste.
In the end, no hero is a king, and no king a hero.
‘For this is what it means to be a king: to be first in every desperate attack and last in every desperate retreat, and when there’s hunger in the land (as must be now and then in bad years) to wear finer clothes and laugh louder over a scantier meal than any man in your land’
What is a hero, but king of his own mind and body? And what is a King, if not the Heart and Hero of his people? Naught but tyrants and sycophants.
Ah Cio comfort her and mayhap reap the benefits of close confidence and maybe more?
Cio’s written and redrafted the “Weeping winsomely into the mysterious stranger’s arms” scene a dozen times but when it happens she still isn’t ready.
Also, more boogers in real life.
In Cio’s head:
“Silently, the beautiful stranger tried to remember her line, which she had written at five in the morning, in the expectation that she would not forget it like a chump at her time of greatest need.”
Royalty must not crack.
But True Royalty must crack. It must crack because it is the only way it can break the circle and come closer to its Subjects, closer to Truth and the nature of I, the true name of God.
But TRUE Royalty must do crack. If Ambrosia be the nectar of the gods, then crack is the cocaine of the titans. It certainly helps to partake in its besnortment when looking upon the Red City, for only then do the intricacies of its urban planning scheme make sense.
VM ITTR A VSK PRET
Royalty “Must” do nothing. Royalty does as it pleases. To command a King not to feel is to forget one’s place first and foremost, and to demand the impossible.
Moreover, if every King were perfect in their ruling, how boring would that be to YISUN’s eyes. To Want – even in one’s heart of hearts – is the essence of creation.
Royalty, like Life, is a continuous cutting motion.
If you stop-
If you cease to move-
If you cease t feed-
If you cease to kill-
–you end, and another takes your place.
The harvest is patient, and ever waiting, but when the time comes, it will not miss its moment.
Be broken, and be made whole.
Angelic flame. Please.
Crack, and break, and shed the old! Emerge anew, thirty percent off, for a limited time only!
it is always traumatic to abandon your shell
=//=
A NEW SELF IS LESS OF A NECESSITY AND MORE AN INEVITABILITY.
Everything I once was,
Everything I once valued,
All so meaningless now,
I grieve for what once was and is lost,
Lost but not forgotten,
I could go back!
But to what end,
Change is hard.
Homesick.
Ship’s back on course. Yay.
You’ve started moderating the comments? Eww.
…were the comments ever not moderated?
At least since I joined back in book 1. It would be all spam all the time, otherwise.
Lock S-foils In Attack Position!
Poor baby.
Become or be cast out.
You can do this, Alli, else you would have not been chosen.
What happened to 2-13?
Truth be told, not only heroes should carry their hearts on the outside.
Scarred skin makes for a thick hide.
MAKE HER SOME HOT CHOCOLATE, DAMMIT!
Where are all those ships coming from? Just curious…
They naturally congregate around the most awesome potential ship in the universe.
They follow the Rod of the Conquering King, to the Red City,where men seek their Fortune and find their Doom.
That Ciollison ship might have hope after all, for those who are into that
Ciollison… Collision. Obviously. But can a ship that has collided float?
I mean, if she didn’t break down by this point then she’d probably be on her way to being on of the Seven rather than a hero.
Maybe we will see that they can still be friends after all.
CIO STOP MAKING ME FEEL EMOTIONS
She is a writer of fanfiction. Inspiring The Feels is all that she is.
Aye… tis tough to change, truly.
That moment when you don’t know what to say your crying crush.
