You can catch us live every Sunday at 8pm EST on twitch.tv slash Songwoven Show, or watch the video version of this podcast on YouTube. Thanks for listening! Hi Power Bottoms, it's me, Tim Don Tran, your narrator for Songwoven. I am a bear who is gonna go on a tear right here. And of course, with me today are my two other co-hosts. Two other hosts.

Calling yourself the bear doesn't mean that the audience will choose you. Although, to be fair though, Tim is the... I would choose Tim the Bear. I mean maybe if he doesn't open with Power Bottoms. The Power Bottoms wasn't helping his cause? What else do I call our fans? You know how people call their fans stuff? Like Critical has Critters, Dimension 20 has Dimensioners, they don't call their fans anything. I was gonna say what are they called? The Red Sox calls their fans losers.

What do you guys call your... What should we call our fans? I've been thinking about it all last week and it's like... What about Weavers? Hmm? What about Weavers? Hey fellow Weavers! Hello Weavers! Hello Weaves! Hello Weaves! I love that! What's up Weaves? Wait, I love that though. I think I know what you're thinking. I love that. Anything but Power Bottoms. Omay says we are trolls. Chat trolls. Chat trolls. What's up trolls? Chat trolls. Chat gremlins. Can we not do that? It's trademarked.

Troll for perception. We could say things like that, yeah. Troll for perception. Yeah. The trolls have like a chat toll. I think... The troll toll! The troll toll! The troll toll! The troll toll isn't that bad though. I see some of you nodding. Who do you see? I saw you. I saw some of you nodding here. Some of you! Where's the nodding coming from? There is an overlap within the TTRPG community as well as the BDSM community. However, not for the stream. The bosom community? The bosom community?

The bosom community? The person who can't hear me. I wonder what the person who listens on their Alexa thinks. The person who listens on your Alexa please talk to us. We're so sorry. Give us a suggestion. We look at our analytics, we see you, we want to hear you. We want to know what you think. Are you a power bottom? Yeah let us know. No! Email us at contactsongwolf at gmail.com. No, no, no, no. There's some things we should not know.

I've been on some new medication recently so I think the chemical makeup of my entire being, of my anatomy has changed. Last night I had a crazy dream. I was driving on the road, which is already crazy, and I was stopped and pulled over by a cop, and the cop said, sir you can't be drinking and driving. And I looked at my hand and I was holding a jar of like, pregnant, of fucking, uh. Pregnant? Uh. Let me drink some water real quick. Prego? You were drinking prego? I was drinking prego.

Wait Tim, that's terrifying. Like they say drink and drive but it doesn't apply to pasta, it doesn't apply to like tomato sauce. No that's absolutely horrific. I would have arrested you then and there. No you wouldn't have, I would struggle. That's terrifying. You were just drinking plain prego sauce? I turned into a bone windmill. You would not get close to me, you'd be scared. You mean my owner, Whirlwind? Yeah exactly. Can't stop me.

Okay I was not drinking pregnant sauce, I was drinking prego sauce. The sauce wasn't prepared to reproduce. I was like what the fuck is pregnant sauce? It's a sauce that makes you go mmmm, it makes you fall. It makes a belly go fuck, no no no no. I'm cutting you off, I'm cutting you off. No no. I'm cutting you off. I'm cutting you off Tim. Things happen when your disc is herniated, this is the person that's become everyone everyone exercise proper lifting techniques.

Lift with your legs not with your back. Exactly. Be the powerful person you are. Fuck! So last episode on our reprint, a lot happened. Many things happened. I'm so genuinely concerned. Good to keep going or do you need to cut off? I was going to say should we just say, and that's tonight's stream. Thanks so much for coming. And that's tonight's stream ladies and gentlemen. That's tonight's stream. What if today's session was super awesome. I always want you guys to find a terrasque.

No no no. So thanks for coming everybody. So thanks for coming. This is our fun. I think it would be very kooky and hilarious if people came to the stream, people came to the VOD and questioned why is the stream 40 minutes long? Why is this one so much shorter? It's more like why is it 25 minutes long? Velour you look out your freaking window. It's a big it's TMI. I would win. Roll initiative. Oh yeah level three. We're good. We can handle this. We're ready. Exactly. Retainer and the retainer.

Anyways that is Emma Remusco. That is Jenny Sherard. We are the trio that make up the song woven conglomerate. Song woven. We are the conglom. The conglomeration. Yeah the conglom. The glamourous conglom. Anyway. Flash episode. Last time. Last time. Lots of things happened. We had a party. Speaking of. Sorry go ahead. No no no go for it. You're going to regret this. You're going to say power bottoms again. Speaking of power bottoms.

No no actually no. We were talking earlier like we were talking like this is going to be like our most this is probably going to be like our most like personal like romantic like campaign ever. Maybe. The most like forward I think because we did Black Guards. Black Guards had a lot of like romantic relationships right. It did but it was more like I felt like it was either pre-established ones or like well actually no Black Guards was very well it was also more players right.

There were more people. Yeah it was definitely player definitely player ones. And people rushed it because we knew it was going to be over. I think too at a set time. So if people did something they were making moves they weren't doing the long game like some campaigns where they're like oh do they like each other. I don't know for 20 sessions. Because they didn't have that time. We couldn't slow burn it. I was going to say we speed run to slow burn that's for sure.

It was the most like romantic campaign we've ever done. By the way watch Black Guards if you have it's really good. Everyone who's a part of that is awesome. Except for that one. Anyways. But yeah it was like gosh I forgot what I was going to say. No I don't remember what I was going to say. Prego. No I'm just kidding. So yeah this campaign it's already like we were already like looking at all the prospects.

We were talking about all the like the NPCs already and it feels like it feels like with Quincy and Marcellus already people are already like ooh. Oh chat was shipping people. I talked I talked to our friend I talked to our friend Brandon. And he hasn't watched any of these episodes. But I told I told I told him like everything about what about what was going on. And he's like oh they're oh they're both flyers. Oh and they're and they're both so they're both dramatic ass people.

He didn't say exactly like that. But like the mind was already in fucking shipping in shipping mode. Well especially since this is a fire album fire album inspired campaign. One of the main mechanics is like dating right. Like it's like matching up with someone and marrying and creating another lineage. It's like in other games like you're having kids right. And then you play the kids and they kind of play down the line right. I cannot lose you therefore we fight so much better together.

But it makes losing you so much worse. What was that from. Oh that was just me. That was me talking. That's just me stating what that mechanic is about. But gosh yeah there's so much more so much more to come guys. Keep you guys fed to keep the slippers fed. Yeah so we and if we're folks who didn't tune in last time we had the party. Valora found out that her dad had made a deal with Graham's family. And after Valora appropriately bitch slapped him as he should have been. Slow mo.

Yeah we got to know Quincy Garvey who is a sweet bean of a grumpy grumpy smart boy. Oh and the side is it simple or cyber cyber cyber the cyber visited which was wild. Valora had a dance off with Marcellus and was jealous is and challenged to a race. And Valora and Marcellus are going to go hand to hand. They're going to fight maybe kiss TBD. Super brain is activated. The cyborgs hold Lucia that house Avonlea was going to fall. Which is not the best thing. She doesn't know my future.

Share with the bingo card open. That's what I'm missing. I don't need my bingo card yet. They kind of they kind of do have to what people fall all the time fall asleep. You never know what kind of fall in there. And after this lovely Valora and Valora took Lucia up on Phantom and they were flying in the sky much like a Disney moment with the fireworks going off and then there was an airship and mine.

The airships yours and people have like slowly accepted Lucia as the retainer because what Valora says goes. Although Lucia is real fucking dumb. And then Arnalda is not well. He's sick. Very sick. But he refuses. Very sick. He basically is like nope. You've got to you've got to go to school. You've got to go to school. And Lucia agreed because she knows that it is it has been told foretold to her in her visions that she has to help Valora.

And so now they're on their way to school school school school or school back to school time. It's back to school shopping. That's what we'll do this episode. We'll do a back to school shopping for one deal on iron daggers. This season make sure you're the coolest. Get a five pack of vulnerabilities. And we'll throw it in the convoy. And we'll throw in a short spot in the graveyard for you. The silver lion merch is popping off this school year. Someone's saying again. What's the fucking saying?

Gosh someone. Witness Valor. Witness Valor on a frickin baseball tee. You know what the look on. Oh gosh. There's a bunch. There's a bunch of noble kids and every every every noble house has like a motto. And Avonlea is whispers to thunder. And that's cool. Because because he turned your whispers into it travels across the realm. Whoa. So cool. And it's like it'd be really unfortunate if like every. Can you imagine like if it was in the modern times people will be watching Iro Brin.

It's like yeah. They're going to be like here's our fantasy teams. Here's who's going to win the school year. School year. But then what if a kid die. If a kid in the noble house dies then the other children get like a 90 percent discount. Oh no. Imagine being able to say you graduated from Iro Brin the same way someone says I graduated from Yale. Oh it's an Ivy. It's an Ivy. It is the Ivy. It is the Ivy and if you survive it's even more impressive. Not dead.

Typically the students don't die at Iro Brin. Typically. Typically. They don't send you to they don't send you to war. You know typically. The less you know the better. It's like fuck man. These people this war academy is like there's no wars going on. So I guess we kind of have to start one. These kids teach these kids a lesson. That's what happened last time on Iro Brin Dawnbreak.

And next time what's going to happen is this segue into what's happening right now because we're starting the high octane adrenaline fueled series of Iro Brin Dawnbreak. The shopping episode. The shopping episode. The back to school shopping episode. The back to school shopping episode. Every item that they shop for is sponsored. Please please please please. Sponsored by Blood Bath and Beyond. Oh my god wait Blood Bath and Beyond. They need their dorm gear. They need their dorm stuff.

We have to coin that. I'm sorry we have to. Blood Bath and six feet below. Blood Bath and Beyond. That has to be someone clip that. Someone please clip that. Alright with that said. We have gone past a few days. Traveled beyond. Traveled in time further into the future where it's getting closer to the promised time to deliver ourselves to Iro Brin Officers Academy. For the both of you it's been an awfully busy few days as you begin ramping up to a paramount responsibility.

Now Velora you have had the luxury of knowing about your position a few months even a confident guess a few years ago. And of course there is confidence in your end. However Lucia it's been a bit more chaotic for you. Two days before we make our way to Iro Brin. We settle in on the town of Voran Adam. A sweeping cityscape sprawling with high rise buildings. Multiple pairs of wings soaring about the air. This is a city. This is one of the biggest cities in the entirety of the Kingdom of Onor.

Even bigger than the crown city of Tokor. You see multiple. We come in on a sweeping green hill and the large walls that encapsulate the city. Pigeons carrying messages from the cities many of sort of flock houses. A network of houses that are designed to send messages all throughout the kingdom with all different kinds of birds and messenger animals. All specially trained by the very own house Avonlea. We sweep through the many the city's many districts. The many markets and places of business.

People's livelihoods established, staked at every corner of the place. This is Onor at its most modern, at its most advanced. But of course beyond all of that we see Pulsekeep. A massive keep. Old in time but has been upkept through attention to detail and care by those living in house Avonlea. And even though the city is bustling and people are running about everywhere. It looks from up above it looks like ants rushing around in a mound.

There is nothing ever more abuzz, more beating than that located in the very heart of Ornatum. It is morning. Valora, there's a knock on your door. She gets up and answers it. As you answer it you see Fatima. A tiefling woman, one of the heads of your house. This white blanched tiefling with completely white eyes. She's been working with you for quite some time now. She just goes, hello my lady, just coming here because your mom wants to see you. Alright, thanks. I was just about to head down.

Oh, your mother's about at the moment. She's already gone to work. You know how she is. Oh yeah. Which means I don't know where she is right now. Well, I'll find her. Alright, do you need anything? Of course, any, anything. Breakfast is made down below I think. I told the people to get on that a bit sooner. I've got it. Thank you. Actually, this is again, my lady. Big day coming up. Rushes off. I like that music. And you go to find your mother?

Yeah. You begin making your way through the gilded halls of the keep. And you know that the moment you step out of your doors, things become busy. You see Ali, a young man, one of the stable masters of your place, kind of makes his way to your side. As you make your way down, he walks by your side and immediately you are swarmed by the hecticness of the work of your place. Multiple people moving about, clipboards and all kinds of papers about.

Ali, a tanned young man, comes up and he says, oh, hi, my lady. Do you know where your mother is at the moment? That's what I'm wondering too. And then you see Charles, another half-elven man, just goes, oh, hello, young lady. Do you know where your mother is at the moment? She needs to sign something. Can you sign this actually? I don't think I can.

And you see, and as you're walking out of your keep going to where you think your mother might be, there's just so much commotioning happening around you. Commotioning. Everything is commotioning at once. You see some handlers on the side. It gets thrown off a horse. There's this huge, shy horse. It throws off a person. You hear people go, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. And the board, there's like a tumble, like a tumble back foot lands on his back in the mud. You okay?

Yep. Yep. Sorry about that. Have you tried to stand yet though? On the horse? I guess I haven't tried that yet. No, no. I didn't know you were supposed to stand on it. No, no, no, no, no, no. Don't stand on the horse. She looks around to see if there's someone more experienced helping them. She assumes that they're watching. And as you're looking around to find someone, you are immediately set upon by, you see another servant of the house, you see Arad, another young man coming up.

My lady, this way, this way. Um, I'm, I take it you are the path to my mother? Yes. I represent my lady. I can help you find your way through this chaos. Well, that would be fantastic. Yes. Please do not stand on the horse. I can't believe I have to say that. All right. This way, this way, please. This way, please. He just goes, as he's walking alongside you, he goes, had a good day this morning? Good breakfast? Oh, not yet. I mean, since I guess I slept in a little bit.

Oh dear, getting all your rest in before going to Iren, huh? Well, today is probably the one chance I get, right? Yeah, because it seems like your, it seems like your mother is taking all of the, all of that stress from you. Okay, so trying to guilt trip me, I see. Oh, I didn't say anything. It's like Gatsky, girl boss? Um, he goes, all right, your mother is over there doing her, doing her walk, doing her walk around the yard.

And she points and you see your mother walking around with Rean Suryashka following her. And she is just, she's just like immediately like, okay, sign something and then keeps walking. And you see the two people that are with you like, oh, oh, my lord, and starts running towards her. She just lets them do their thing and then walk behind. And you see Ered just goes, are you sure you don't want, you sure you want to approach your mother without a document in hand?

She's signing things all morning. Oh, yeah, I could get an autograph handy for the next person who asks. Well, good one, bye lady. Video wink and walks away as you as you make your way to your to your mother. And she just goes, I know who that is, my peripheral vision. And she she shoves a clipboard in someone's in someone's chest and goes, Laura, good morning. Good morning. Make your case ahead. Walk and talk, walk and talk. All right.

She starts she starts walking as you begin to walk through as you begin to walk through the span. This large this large field dedicated to your many efforts and training and training flying mounts. This is this is truly where the heart of House Evelyn of the Spirit survives. You're not required to do this, but it's been something that your family's been doing ever since they were basically, you know, created.

You see Griff you see griffins and and mostly Pegasi of flock of flocking about people training, doing anything, washing these animals. And a big part of it is also appeasing them, feeding them. They don't kick our ass. See, you see, you see, you see a Pegasi sniff food, sniff food that someone's offering and then raises it raises its nose up offended. And you know that person now, you know that person is now going to have a really hard time with that Pegasi.

While they're walking and she spots it, she goes, she just says, Oh, gosh, what was I going to. She yells out across from like she goes, if you start with a little sugar cube, she takes it. Oh, like a pony. This this person takes a sugar cube and raises it. And then you see the Pegasi opens one eye, looks at it, eats it and then looks back up. It just turned its nose away. And you see mom just goes, oh, yeah, glider is a bit of a grudge holder, but she'll work with you eventually.

Keep going. Keep going. Dessert before, well, breakfast, I guess. And you hear the and you hear the man, the man taking care of it. Oh, so they're just like children. And then you see the you see the Pegasi all just like. I'm scared of the Pegasi. There is a death. They're going to hurt me. You'll get better. Going to hurt me. This way, this way, this way. This is a good thing. Everybody who works at the house has well established health care. OK. All right. Big day ahead.

Did you go through my daughter? Did you go through my list of everything that you need to pack up and get ready? Oh, yeah. I mean, I started packing last night. All right. Good. And everything's all packed and ready to go. You have two days and you know, you know what they say, you know, never late. Yeah, I I've got it covered. Well, you don't want to be scrambling at the very, you know, at the very end before you go, like looking for a spear or or anything.

And you have to get one of those loners from Irvine. And I just have to say that, you know, that's not the type of one from home. I I'm sure if I forget something, I'll I'll make do. Well, well, well, well, Bonnie, Bonnie walking or running over to the other. Are these horses? Are these horses going to Aurora? Yes, my Lord. Oh, OK. Don't use cloven shire horses. They don't do well in the soul. You're going to want to get Kikura horses, shire horses.

OK, they're going to do a lot better. OK. Yes, my Lord. Thank you. Thank you. Anyways. OK. So yours. So OK. You make your way on through the list and everything. Yes. Yes, yes, yes. OK. OK. OK. OK. You don't have to worry. I know. I know you're worried, but you don't have to worry about it. I'm not worried. I'm not worried. I know you and you can do all kinds of things and you do what you say and you're very reliable. And you're finished with everything, right? The entire list.

Well, basically that you eat. No, it's a lower because I wasn't going to be working with the pegasi today. So it's my day to sleep in. Yes, it is. Yes, it is. OK. Oh, gosh. Cora Cora. She's usually in this spot of the span. It's OK. I'll find her. So the Laura, my daughter, the daughter of mine, who I love so much. Oh, gosh. Pinches both your cheeks, stretches it really quickly. She even makes time to do the daughter of mine, my own daughter, my spawn, my spawn.

She's she she just goes, OK, I made something for you. It's in the kitchen. By the way, your dad has already made his way off. You know, your dad already made it made his way off. So it's going to be you and me today. So and I'm pretty sure that Lucy is coming in today. I think that's what that's what the ministry told me that they said that soon. If that's true, I can handle all of that and you don't have to. OK. Hey, let's do some. OK. I thought of the treasure.

You have to spending money at the ready now. Typically, it's not really smiled upon for a Lord to send their child to Arab in with a whole bunch of money because they want people to, you know, kind of self-sustained themselves and everything. The nepotism. I mean, you're going to be well taken care of. You're not going to you don't have to spend money because all you need to be settled.

But like just in case I will be sending you to Arab with two thousand gold, if that's OK, you know, you know, it's OK. It's OK. Just a little bit of spending money. OK. Of course. Is that too is that too little? Just just a touch, just a touch of two K gentle smattering of two K the one percent. Ladies and gentlemen, we're lords and also have a thriving business on top of that. Chats as petty cash to get you have two thousand gold waiting for you.

The treasurer will need you to sign off on it. OK. OK. Confirming what I'm saying. That's a good thing. That's a good thing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I love you, by the way. I love you, too. You check everything off your list. No, no, no, no, no. She's looking at her list. She's halfway down. And then you see she pulls up on it and there's like two more pages that she hasn't gone through. You probably could have slept in today, too. Funny.

I'm serious. Is everything going to just like stop if you take a little break? I mean, yeah, I do have I do have trained people who can really upkeep everything. People who can be people who can manage Beatrix is doing absolutely amazing. It says, you know, you know, the Beatrix Sixters were trained right here at the OK. Never mind. Oh, by the way, I heard some news about Irobrin. I've been keeping, you know, your father got me keeping an eye on the comings and goings of Irobrin.

And it turns out you're going to have two Cadwalladers there. I also found out why the Cadwallader family wasn't at the ceremony. Oh, Lord Cal... Lord Cadwallader was passed out drunk, drank way too much. It's just before before the ceremony. Yeah, yeah. And so the whole family didn't show up. Well, I guess that tracks. Yeah. So two, two Cadwalladers. Yeah. The youngest daughter and the eldest son, who's actually been at... Who's already been at Irobrin for a few years. He's a third year.

Oh, OK. Yeah. Yeah. So there's a throughed Cadwallader and the oldest son, Todd Cadwallader. You made him... you made him a Cadwallader? You made Todd a Cadwallader? I was going to choose responding character, but that warrant is stopping. That warrant is stopping. I don't understand. I don't understand. I nearly killed a Cadwallader in another game. I only stopped because Thor literally told me to. And Todd Caliballader. So there you go. I don't know much about them.

I heard Todd's been doing really good, though. Yeah, I haven't. I haven't met them. I don't think. Except for maybe when I was younger. Your father did say that Todd was a little bit of a bad boy. So maybe, you know. Yeah, but what constitutes bad boy to dad? Is it like, is it like, oh, no, he he wore a black undershirt instead of a white one? No, that's not that strict. To the cafeteria. Yeah. I mean, I mean, he might have smirked a bit too much, something like that, you know.

Anyways, um, everything I hear is so much more exciting. You're going to meet so many people. Okay, only two quick two quick kisses. Mwah mwah kisses you both cheeks. A third one. Kiss you on the forehead. Okay, now stretching it. Check. Check. Yep. Yep. Give three kisses to my daughter. Um, oh gosh. All right. She stops for a moment, just pauses. She just goes, gosh, I'm going to miss you so much. I'm not going to be that far away. No, we're not going to be here like every day.

I mean, that's also true. Otherwise, okay, we're coming across a phantom's little place over here. I got to feed phantom too. Yeah, you do. I'm super excited too. I tried to make requests about phantoms staying in a special women's candle and they accepted my request. So they built them. They built it for him. They built him something. Did you like, did you give like the specs for that? Absolutely. Absolutely. Okay. Then I'm sure it would be good.

I was wondering if I'd have to get him to like sneak into my room or something. I bet he could do it if the lights are off, you know. I think he could scare away anyone who witnessed it. Just have him snarl. Oh gosh, remember when he was young and he would just really cloak in with the night and people kept tripping over him every time he snuck into the keep. Okay. I'm going to do my rounds. You take care of phantom and everything and we'll meet up and later. Get everything settled.

Well, see you when I see you. See you when I see you. You walk walks off. And he and you hear go balustrary. This. I told you that Pegasus did not like bananas. Brandon, what are you doing? Brandon, what are you doing? You make your way to the special, the special, the special little area where the where the flying mounts of the house are are well kept. It has a has a wide view. It has a wide view of the place. There are it isn't. It is an open kind of like situation.

Like these mounts are like took like, yeah, you have free range, free range to fly around to do whatever you wish. And they're trained well enough to know where their home is and where to stay. Making a making a way through making a way through the place. You you hear it as soon as you walk up to it. The trademark sounds of of phantom scampering to his feet upon upon hearing about sniffing your scent. Good morning. Makes his way over to you puts his puts his head in your in your chest.

And she'll get him all taken care of morning routine. Let him out. As everything gets as everything is situated. Very quickly, we're going to head on over to another awakening. My second character. Today, Jenny will be right with herself. Jenny's second character. Please describe yourself as you wake up in front of a mirror. I am a figment of my imagination. I am me and I am the Lucia. I get the sad music. This is your theme. This is your established theme. It's called daisies.

Oh, yeah, that is. Oh, this is the pretty one. This is cute. Very cute. The past few days for you has been hectic and more of an internal internal sense. Yes, there was the shopping. Yes, there was like getting getting everything ready. Orie has been so incredibly incredibly useful and incredibly useful. A point of information for any question you might have had because she had graduated I have been before too.

And over the past few days, Arnolda, the goatee who had taken who had taken deep care of you has cared for you very deeply ever since you stepped first into the soil of Noor. He has on that day, there was some concern over his health. Well, he's dead now. I'm kidding. I was like, Tim, I swear to Christ, if he's dead, he will live forever. Every time Tim brings up Arnolda, I'm like, he's dead. He killed him. He took him from me. Now I have nothing left. I say, no joy.

I say, no, then I was like, it's over. It's done. He's gone. He's fucking dead. That's it. But he's not a PC. Oh, that's it. My one NPC gone dead. You have your bag ready to go. And Ori has gifted you a small dagger to put at your head and has trained you has trained you a little bit in the proper holding and what the business and does and how to wear it properly and how to not to accidentally stab somebody or myself. Little bits of Ori now being in your life now more than ever.

And Arnolda not having any of the fainting spells he's had recently things in the past few days have gone have gone well for him. You also awake to slight tapping on your door. You awake pedal. I think she's like, had a hard time sleeping, what with the vision she had at the ball, which were wild.

And she's been trying to piece them all together and also being told by this cybo, who she's never met before that there's one another one of her kind, and to that the house that she's just been pledged to serve and help is going to fall. Oh, her nights have been incredibly restless, like really struggling. Really trying to figure out like how you know how to move forward so I think she kind of like rolls out of bed, you know, I'm awake, I'm awake, I'm awake. Arnolda opens up the door.

And you believe it every time. Because the problem with TGP Jesus that were conditioned to experience pain and trauma. Happiness. I'm just like experience. He's going to take him from me. Why suffer alone when we can suffer together. As he does as he opens up the door. He opens up the door he goes, I'm going. He goes, and as you roll out of bed he just goes, to this big day.

Yeah, I thought that the ball was the big day but the days just keep getting bigger and bigger, you know and and then then we we we rise to the challenge, and we we we meet the challenge head on, like boats do. Yeah, it's boats. Yeah, like the boat thing you tell me I you know we're meant to sail and go into dangerous, really dangerous waters that we're not exactly sure how to how to paddle through but that's what we're made to do so we got to do it anyway even if we don't know what we're doing.

You will. I have to learn a lot quicker. She like kind of looks right at him. I'm going to be honest. I'm kind of. I'm weighing over my head. You. He sits down on the bed and and paths to space next to him. She kind of curls up immediately into his side. You are making a carnal mistake that many in your boots and make. What's that. See I'm already messing up and she starts banging her head lightly on his shoulder.

He, he puts a finger up to interrupt the banging, so you just drill into his job at his finger. You are codifying all of your expectations on yourself and burdening your learning. With the made up burden of time of deadlines. When in fact, learning happens much like how life occurs. It's natural. It happens naturally. You can't quicken it. It's just simply comes to you. When you see into the future, all you can think of are deadlines. And I kept seeing them at the ball. Destruction and.

I was told. I was told by one of me. One of me. He. He moves a piece of hair under your face. You know what I believe. All father. The Allfather yes. But us as people. Have such an almighty. Power. The power to inflict so much change in the world. That perhaps. The future can never be set in stone properly. That's true. I was able to change it one time. You do so. So many more times. You were given glimpses of potential, but that's all they are potentials. The future only changes when people do.

And if you're going to be working towards. Stopping those. Unpreferable futures that you are presented. Then they will have to change. You really think I can do it. I know you can. You're doing it right now. I think you're doing it right now. The greatest predictors of. Then seers and whatnot. I think. I don't think they can predict the future. I think what they're doing is that they're predicting people. Is very often throughout history, people do not change. And when people do not change.

It is very easy to see what can become of the world and what they do. He just nods. I spoke. To a healer this morning. You could. Okay. And did they give you something. You see that he's thinking for a moment staring out into the. To the openness of your room. And he snaps to you for a moment. His eyes do. And his eye and his lips slowly curls into a warm smile. The one he always has. And he just goes. That's just like. That's like fainting spell. I inside check that. Yes, you may.

Stop lying to me. Lies. That's going. Lies. That's going to be a 14. 28. Why the fuck does he have a plus 12. He rolled double. Jesus Christ. 28. No chance. The warmness of his. The warmness of his eyes. And. Has always been. He's always been a purveyor of. Of truths. Even those that are. Even even those that are just convenient. But you feel. That there is there is some confidence to be had. Though innately. Also someone who's grown up with him. And they.

And innately you do know that he's told. Convenient lies. Small ones. And. He's. He's. I really think I should stay to take care of you. But. You really want me to go. Course. I ask you just one question though. Of course anything. You want to know. I want to know what happened to me, dad. Like how. Fish. Needs water. How the feathers of a bird. I will miss you as of. We are worlds apart. But you know my heart is strong. And even though it will not have the surge of energy.

To. Bring it beating and bragging every morning. It was still beat. And it will wait for you. To hear every story. You have to tell me. She just flings her arms around his neck and just gives him a big hug. I love you. I love you too. I'm scared. I know. I know. But you can be brave now. She'll pull back and kind of like. Blink away misty eyes and goes. That's right. After all the gods are watching out for us. Of course. I mean. They're watching out for us.

Everything will happen as it's intended to be. Perhaps this is why I was created to begin with. Perhaps. But. That is something. That is a question. That is a maximum statement that you are going to have. To discover more. The chisel away at. Now. For Wayne will. Expect you at the gates in about an hour. So. This is going to write me right. Going to write me right. Of course.

Make sure you make sure to put your honey in your tea because your throat tends to hurt in the morning and make sure that your pillowcase is always flipped on the other side because sometimes the feathers poke out on the other one and you need to make sure that the neighbor makes sure that you get fresh water from the well because I won't be able to holler in the morning and I want to make sure you have clean water to make your tea as well to splash your face in. Is he crying.

Oh no. Yeah. Oh no. This is Emma panicking. It's okay. Don't make it. I know I know but like dad tears makes Emma nervous. She's going to quickly like grab a handkerchief and quickly you know dab his face and now she's comforting him. Behind his ear and goes. Yeah yeah yeah those really pesky allergies. Well here's the thing with those allergies. Anytime we have a lot of breaks at school sometimes right and the high holidays.

I'll have all these stories to tell you about how I've, you know passed on the teachings of our gods to these people who maybe they don't even know they don't even think about themselves to a higher power. So I can help you know educate them and give them a sense of self and purpose in this entire orchestra of a world. I know you could do that because you've certainly done it for me. Ouch Tim. Fuck you. Ouch. I was just listening I like to in an opportune time to do the condom style.

He doesn't when we're in pain. And she'll, you know, gently squeeze his hand like take his hands and ears clasp them tight. Boats were made to float. I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna swim through these waters like that little boat that we had I'm gonna fly. Just you wait. Well ideally if you have a boat you don't swim. That's true but I did see a flying ship the other day and so I'm going to be the ship that flies.

I guess you'd want to have to deal with waters or a harbor and any of that those cases then. You know just you wait I'm going to show these city kids. I'm going to show them what Lusardis can do. As she's full on anime protag you know. I sparkling glittering fists up in the air. As he is overwhelmed by as he is overwhelmed by the sheer animatis as he as he also feels power. Power of you. Rock Lee and Guy sensei doing the little. Um. Hmm. He just goes.

Well before you do that we have to get angry inside of you so. Why don't we have breakfast. Before you go. Yeah. Keep us standing nice and strong as we get on the road and I'm going to learn how to how to how to fight and how to how. As she kind of like overthrows her shoulder. Oh yeah. Maybe we're going to I know how to hold a knife though that's really I mean dagger not a knife a dagger. It is a knife though but it's a dagger I don't know why it's the same thing.

Hand on your shoulder and a healing energy courses through his hands and goes into your. Just stick with the healing yeah I think I'll stick with that for now. Um or a will give you the information to. For you to write to me for me to receive your. So. Every every single day every single morning every single night I'm going to tell you everything that's going on and then I'm going to tell it to you again when I come back for the holidays.

Of course I would love that time with that time with like more sparkles and more movement so that you can see and I can act out the scenes for you of what happens at school. Of course of course. Perhaps maybe bring back some friends as well. Oh yeah. I mean if the world would want to come. Perhaps. This is I would love to I would love nothing more than to host her. And then I made another friend too. Oh yes. His name is Quincy. Very serious but secretly funny. Secretly funny. Secretly funny.

Funnier than me. Oh. No one can be funnier than you. Anyone can be funnier than me. Funny you're looking. Funny you're looking. I'm not funny looking. She kind of pouts. Red cheeks. He he presents. Nothing special. It's the same humble array of foodstuffs that you eat. You would eat in the morning. No ceremony or anything. It's just breakfast. Yeah. It's what it has been traditionally before everything changes. The two of you. The two of you began to eat. And of course the clock.

Time ever marches on and the clock is the ever reminder. And then when breakfast is up. It's time to go. He just goes. You have everything packed. She slings her knapsack over her back and slaps down a list of instructions for the neighbor that she's made two copies of. One to keep in the house and one to give that is mailed to the neighbor in case Arnalda tries to hide it or get rid of it. Because he wants to take care of himself on his own.

So two copies have been sent out of things that need to be done while she's gone. As she swings her knapsack over, slaps the list on the table, she goes, take care of yourself, okay? You've got one less mouth to feed. One less mouth to enrich me with stories. Just wait till you see my letters. Of course. Let me walk you to the front. Okay. And now she's actually like after having the pep talk, now she's like getting excited. It's like first day of school jitters, right?

Gone are like, you know, the tears and now it's just pure excitement, like going off to camp. It's relaxing music. It's camp music. And then as you leave, he dies. As he dies. He opens the door to the front. You see that he puts in your bag, he puts in your bag, he puts in your bag, he puts in your bag, he puts in your bag, he puts in your bag, he puts in your bag a couple of jars of jam at home. And his death certificate as he dies. His death certificate as he dies.

They're really on top of it around here. Listen, the church records are always, the church records are always up to date. He puts a couple of jams in your bag. And I'm going to give you a little bit of spending money, a little bit from the savings. No, I don't need it. I can make it there. It's alright. Just something for you. Just as a personal level, there's a wonderful town nearby called Havan. They have wonderful everythings there, wonderful fixtures you can spend what you like.

I should probably get some books, some notebooks and scrolls. Oh, I have to go back to school shopping. I've never even gone to school. So how can I go back to something I've never been to? There's multiple wonderful deals that can be had at Havan. There's this wonderful individual called Anna. Once I got a 10 for one special from her. She's in every Iroprinth game. I was going to say she's, oh my god, like the games. But it's different than the games because we spell her name backwards.

Oh, I see. It's really different. Avoiding that copyright. Avoiding that copyright is backwards. Can't sue us. Can't sue us. I wonder if I should hold up a corp. No, no, no. It's backwards. It's backwards. It just goes, is this place called the Draft? Three horses for the price of two. Wow. That's a lot. I don't think I even know if I need one horse. That's a lot. Yeah. You will take it. You will hold out your hand and you will accept this gift for me.

Fine, but I'm buying you something cool when I get to school like a school t-shirt or something. She holds open her hand. I want our stories. And this is genuinely a lot of money to you. He puts three gold pieces in your hand. GM said you're poor. It's genuinely a lot of money to farmlanders. That is three years of salaries for a farmer. She goes, ow. You're fucking rolling in it now. She's genuinely like, I'm going to get mugged. You're going to mug me when they see how much I have.

Keep it close. Keep it close. Okay, okay. And she's hiding it under her skirts and petticoats in various pouches. She's like, I promise, I know how long it took you to raise this to get all this money, so I promise I'll spend it well. But, my god, three gold? Yes, three gold. You're saying it too loud. People might hear you. Shake me on the streets. You walk out into the streets. The three gold pieces are given. Big wave. Big wave to everybody as you pass by.

You see that there is a procession of people. From my little town? Your little part of the town. You see that people were waiting outside. Stop. All the families have been outside. You see little hands, big hands. Everybody from every house waving you off. You hear, bye, your little part goes, we'll miss you. I'll miss you guys too, but I'll make you proud. You see someone trying to say, Lucy, yeah, Lucy. But it doesn't happen. Everyone's just cheering.

She goes, thank you, because she knows that they tried. And you are eventually brought to the front gates. Or you see a small procession of ministry soldiers and ory. She wears her typical like, like ministry regalia. But you see that it's accompanied with a few, a few soft pads of, of modified leather armor. And you see a rapier, a rapier by her side. She's never looked like it. But from the past few days where she's been training you, you've learned just how.

Like you've gotten a glimpse at her true, like, perhaps battle ability. She's incredibly agile. She's, she's a badass bitch. She's cool coming, she smiles, she's sitting, she's on top of a horse. And she just goes. Good morning, Eikon. Good morning, Oriane. I have three gold. I'm rolling in it. I might get mugged because of the immense wrath I have on my person. I promise that won't happen to you while I'm around. See, Dad? She nudges Arnalda. Maybe fine. Arnalda, you're spoiling her now.

Well, it's a special day. A special three years. Because you have to kill the lily a few times. Oriane holds her hand down to you to pull up onto the horse. I think she like rushed forward in her excitement, pauses halfway, turns back to look at Arnalda. Runs back quickly, throws her arms around him into a big hug. I'll write you soon. And then before she can get too sad or think too much about it, she sprints over and grabs Oriane's hand and gets up onto the horse. Paws you up.

Are you going to be learning to ride one of these soon enough? Oh, wow. Yeah, I learned how to, well, I got to ride Phantom. Did you know that? Yes, I did hear about that. Yeah, it was so cool. And I'm there, peg a side with wings that I can fly to. And she's just kind of like clinging like a little spider monkey around her. Fair winds, Godman.

And you see Arnalda, who now when you turn to him, you see that in this composition, he his back is standing to the entirety of the city, no one's around him. It, um, perhaps the loneliest you've ever seen him. Throughout all of that, he still smiles. He just goes, I'll see you again. See you soon. And I think in that moment she like sends up a prayer. Like prayer of protection. I just like, please, please keep him safe. He dies. And that's what kills him. The gods are like, you know what?

You know what? Fuck you. We're gonna fucking kill him actually. Thanks for your prayer. Not. I love doing the opposite of mortal prayers. That's how you get them. That's how you get these fuckers. That's how you snag them. That's how you drag them in. That's how you get these assholes. Awful. He waves at you. As Aurea goes, Formation with me. And the horses began to move away. Arnaud stands there the whole time.

As long as the both of you can see each other, as long as the both of you retain any color in your visions, the both of you remain until he becomes so small in the distance that the city, that the sight of the city engulfs the little thought that he is. And the whole time, he smiled. We cut to where you are not looking. Oh no! Does he die? As Aurea sees, As Aurea sees you off, eventually his arm brings back to his side. I see that sad little sigh.

Two armored, silvered men don't make their appearance, don't make their appearance unknown. They walk in heavy armor. And a large man, swarthy in appearance, dark circles under his eyes, orange hair. He is rather, he has rather rotund years of drinking. Walks up to him. His hand reaches for the hammer on his hip and he just holds it. And, oh no, the doesn't turn. He just goes, You don't want to do that. He just, he turns towards the man. He just goes, Lord Cadwallader.

Goes, And you see the man he addresses. Just goes, Come with me. He just, And Aurea just goes, As you recommend, you take your hand off that hammer. The moment you swing it, it'll be your biggest mistake. He goes, So, rumors are true then? He goes, You want to find out? He goes, And on all of this goes, I've taken more heads than drinks you've had these past few weeks, dear. Please tell me he was a badass in his past life. Please. You don't scare me. You're nothing but a ghost.

Ghosts should frighten you, my lord. The king wants to see me? Yeah. He does. Hmm. Lead the way. Hmm. Ornaldah moves, Eventually reaching Castle Jiml. Um. And as he reaches the gates, Lord Cadwallader turns to him and just goes, You know where to find him. He goes, I do. I wouldn't trust myself to follow you anyhow, out of drinks you've had. Watch your mouth, old man. I'm gonna fuck this guy up. Watch your tone, my lord. I wish I killed him. Yeah, I'm gonna fight him in the streets.

He's strong, strong, like crazy. I don't care, he's a bitch. Ornaldah makes his way through the venerated halls and now have fallen silent. He walks to the throne room to find King Walter Lunen sitting on the throne. Walter is looking off to the sides in the throne room. He just goes, The place hasn't changed months since your earlier visits. Ornaldah? Hm. What have you noticed? This can't change much about history. I see the paintings on the wall.

This...the defeat of giants. The defeat of the Ash Tyrant. Why did you... After all this time... Why did you...call me here? The king looks to him. He has one eye that was once soft, now intense. And he just goes, Kneel. And we're going on break! The heck? Okay, so cool, I've gotta assassinate the king. The list is gonna keep growing. He's writing down a hit list like, okay. There you go. You're supposed to die of old age, Timmy. Oh, we want him dead.

He's going, listen, I'm so pumped for the Arnoldah backstory. He's been around the block a few times. He's like Arnoldah the arson, like the most kills confirmed. I had suspicions once you said, why does he have plus 12? I was like, well he has high wisdom, but that means he also has a high proficiency modifier. Yes! High charisma, maybe. High curls. Charisma. Charisma. Charisma. Well, you probably haven't seen anything about that for a while, so hey!

When we return, you will come back to our dear leader and retainer. We'll be right back! Hello again, Power Bottoms! Welcome back! Stop! We're back, Weavers! Again! We're back, Weavers! Weavers! Weavers! How would you define Power Bottoms? I'm just kidding. A powerful person. This is, no, that's not what that is! In the southern hemisphere. Who constantly takes part in thoughtful, kind acts. That's not what this is. A DM. A DM? A DM. DM is technically a service top. You know what, you're right.

Thank you. You don't know what that means, but it's okay. I'm going to Google it. No, don't Google it! Not now! Not live! Please not live! Don't be live! I have my rabbit hole to go into tonight after this stream. Please don't, just go to bed, Tim. Just go to bed. Rest your mind, rest your eyes, rest your soul. There's going to be a funky new Google document in my drive tonight. You don't need it. I promise you, you don't need it. New Pinterest board just dropped.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, we don't want to see those different boards. It's got vampires on it. Never mind. Anyways, where were we? Buffy. It's Buffy themed. Hello everyone and welcome to Song Loving Ivar Brin Dawnbreak. And I'm Tim Don Tran. This is the start of the session. And of course I'm being joined by my two people ever. Who are they?

You're improving I spotted it in advance this time Eventually make it to the front gate where we go over to Lucia Lucia Arnalda Come You see his corpse stretched out before you It made it here before you did They shot it in a cannon My corpse was faster than you You oughta do better You failed me I told you I was gonna race you That's awful I win It's so fucking morbid I win dude I win broski I'm a winner You've been traveling on the back of Orier's horse for a good bit now It's been a few hours

As the hours gone and the conversation between you and Orier grows It's been a failed few hours But you've seen fields and stretches of grass and rivers that you've never seen before You have journeyed through villages and other towns of varying sizes Very small and humble compared to Tokor Some villages only the size of your little part of Tokor where all of you live Eventually As you near Vorran Adam Knowing you're near because Orier told you Orier looks at you and eventually goes Lucia

Have you ever ridden a horse before? Once or twice, yeah Hmm Well if you don't know you're definitely going to learn while you're at Irobrin Yeah that's what's been said I'm gonna learn a lot of stuff I'm sure Hmm What kinds of things? Do you have any questions for me? Um You know I do Um How much do I have to How good do I have to be with the knife? I mean the dagger?

Well you can come as you are You'll definitely learn while you're there Right but like all these other kids have probably had a lot of time to train in certain things So how far behind am I?

And you can be honest with me To be honest with you Yeah They are in the skies and you are in the dirt No But Yup that's about right You will learn I'm a retainer I have to I have to do Velora and our house proud Well don't forget that a big part of battle is also rendering care onto others and to your allies that have been hurt And I can do that I can do I can definitely do that Yes I can Yes there is so I'll be totally good with that And we're gonna stick to our strengths play to our strengths

We're gonna make friends with our house members And what are the other houses again?

Ahem Well you know your house The Silver Lion's house The house based in the central constituent region The crowning region of Onor He just goes Well if you're sending me over exposition I might as well There is the Black Boar's house That house is composed of students from the eastern constituent region the Grand Folger They're known to be a stubborn lot but they're quite hardy individuals Okay so they seem like a nice house From my time there they were definitely a remunctious lot

But a lot of them have gone on to do a few great things I was in the same I was attending the academy at the same time as Kali Aldebrand What houses were you guys in? Well she was in the Black Boar's house I was in I was in Silver Lion's Oh But Because we were allies nonetheless They can be your opponent at times but they are not your enemies Hmm Are there any houses that I should kind of watch out for?

Ideally they are all of since they are all your companions There's friendly competition here and there yes but ultimately you are there in the spirit of cooperation Good point we're all working together Kali Aldebrand Just top of her class Because we have we have grown to be become friends throughout the years after her time at Erebron I see the expression is immediately changed Lucia keeps her mouth shut Red flag red flag Yep yep Lucia keeps her mouth fucking shut

She just goes she's very thankful for you You know I'm grateful for you guys I don't I wouldn't have been able to get even this far without your help and sponsorship Gladly We'll gladly do it again And of course there is the western And of course there are the blue walls from the northern constituent region of Anor Aurora They're quite a hearty bunch as well they've been known to grow up learning how to use a sword in their hand before they Before they learn how to wield a pen

Oh okay so they're frontline fighters Hunters Some of the fastest people I've seen are from that house Okay so we got the speedsters from the blue wolves we've got the black boars with the heartiness Well those are I wouldn't want to generalize there's a very unique roster of people But you know I guess I am generalizing because this is how they grew up We can't generalize people based on the houses they put into That's not how it works

There was some magical piece of clothing that told everyone where they belonged Hmm you're evil you get to go in there This is where we put all the evil twelve year olds Houses are simply people of where they come from their geolocation where they are located in the kingdom So you're going to get all kinds of people from all walks of life in every house The Kanakan people however are the one percent And of course the golden moose represents the west The west consitutored region of Kanaka

A place of splendid wealth and trade you know that they have They typically have the best equipment around And they come from a culture of celebration They're good parties They do When I was around whenever it was a student's birthday it gave them reason to take the day off and celebrate Wow that's really nice of them It was banned Oh nevermind And of course the crimson griffins who represent the southern constituent region of Stravae

Many magical institutions are based in Stravae and that reflects in the student body and their skill sets Might have a lot of peers in that house since I'm a caster I think you'll find many friends in many places Especially if you're going to be directly helpful to others That's true How many students are like me? Like you?

Yeah like scholarship kids Hmm not very many How many is not very many I must say that you are an exceedingly rare case To receive scholarship from a lord to go into Irabren it's Well it has to be an extremely exceptional case So there are no other common folk there? Oh there are certainly common folk there but they have to pay the entrance fee How much?

I believe it's somewhere upwards to the tomb of 4500 gold pieces the last time I was there She almost has a heart attack right then and there the light fades The world goes dark for a moment and she comes back to Come back come back come back I don't want to fail don't die Wow that's a lot of money How many common kids are there?

Hmm I know that the most commoners are in the black boars house Due to the leaders efforts of sponsoring many people I believe she sponsored about 50 students to come to the academy So I imagine the black boars would be many So I guess that since I'm going to be the lores retainer It's important for me to know who the heads and retainers are of these other houses And have good relationships with them Certainly and if you want me to exposition about that I also will

But before I do that look up ahead as she points you see Vora and Adam Don't we see Valora? No not yet you see the makings of Vora and Adam You see a man on a griffon directly flies overhead He's wearing goggles over his eyes and you see him quickly There's a little wave down at your procession He's like oh god I gotta tell Pallavi about this I saw the pink hair I saw her I saw her Her hair was so pink holy shit that's all I knew I thought it was like is that cotton candy growing in the fields?

No it's her fucking hair What the fuck?

I almost ate it AHHHHH And you see massive spiders, towers, wings flying in the air You remember the figure that a phantom carved in the air Now you're seeing multiple of those falling about spinning in circles Spinning around doing flips All kinds of things And a massive cityscape before you As you move closer tents, tents, tents are pitched on the outside I infected him As you get closer to the city you see tents are pitched on the outside You see people are fucking shuckling their wares

Whatever You know, shuckling As the commotioning is happening You see eventually standing at the very head of the gates A tall half elven woman who you've seen before Very frightening woman Is it Kali?

No It's Rucha Pallavi And next to her And next to her Velora VELORA Like almost toppling off the horse to wave because you're a familiar face In a very unfamiliar place She waves back Wait for you to get closer And the two of you get closer Um, Orië holds a hand out to you to dismount your horse She like awkwardly gets off but scrambles off so she like sprints up with like hands on her knapsack straps you know tightly As she jumps up in front of Velora and goes

Are you so excited for our first day of school? I am so excited And I'm glad you made it here well Uneventful, uneventful trip I'm guessing No, no problems at all And you should see the amount of cash I got packing on me Like I could have gotten mugged Yeah Well it's a good thing you had the executor with you I don't think anyone gets mugged around an executor I'd hope No one gets around Orië that's for sure Did you know she was a member of the black boar's house?

Silver lions Oh nevermind that was someone else Kali Alderbrand Kali Alderbrand that's the one right? She was the silver lion's member with us You got it I did it now I did it right I'm gonna learn all of this for Laura so that I know everyone's name in every single house so that I can directly reference it in case we need to know that cause I'm your retainer I need to know those things I'm glad you're excited I mean we'll get to meet everyone when we're there you know

We'll meet the other leaders and retainers and um I mean like I know a bit about some of them and um the other silver lions You have to make alliances too right? I mean it's all about working together as a school kind of thing Well yeah I mean I don't know if I'd call it like alliances well there is like the mock battle first thing when we get there not first first thing but pretty soon What?

Oh well they have like this big it's not a big deal they're gonna have the opening ceremony when we get there and then we'll have a few days and then they have at the end of the first week they have this big fight between all the houses that's just in It's just a friendly A friend how do what? Friendly battle A friendly fight? How do you friendly fight someone with friendly feelings?

Well it's training you know Oh okay Basically Oh yeah it's just practice Yeah Okay And That seems make sense The silver lions do have kind of a track record of winning but I think last year I heard that the black boars won Oh and we want to make sure we win this one?

Oh yeah but we'll worry about that later too but you said alliances and I was like you know you could put your alliance brain to work when we get there too because I think alliances are helpful for that Oh like we team up with another house during the mock battle? Yeah but we'll worry about it later you guys This is so political Here I can help show you around Oh are you guys hungry or?

If you're hungry I'm hungry I'm ready to do whatever you need me to do I am your retainer and I'm here to retain Well today we just get to relax or shop or whatever you need are you all packed up for? Yeah she turned and shows her knapsack Well good We can check um I can give you my mom's list across reference too and we can get anything else you need Oh a list yeah yeah yeah What do you got?

My mom is a little over thorough to be honest like um oh it's um I think I have it and what am I she's reaching through her pockets and that's something too is that she looks very different from the from the ball she's way more relaxed looking Or chill yeah Her hair is a lot less um clean like it's it's a little bit messier and stuff and um without her gloves on you can see her Aeon mark on her left hand um she almost looks like a tattoo when it's not active So cool

She was oh um it's I mean you'll get used to seeing them a lot of people have Aeon marks that I remember in Oh how many oh like most people have them?

No no no no I mean basically all the Aeon marked houses almost their kids come to Irobran but Aeon marks are still pretty rare among I mean practically none of the common folk will have them and um there'll be nobles who don't have them too so still not that many Well yeah they don't well you've got the best one so we'll be totally fine It's true It's true I think it is the best I know it's

She pulls out her list and her mom's probably too long packing list and she goes this is what my mom said but we don't need everything everything That's that's that's that's the candlesticks? Why do we um wax all of these? I mean we can always get them there too we don't need all of it all of it I mean like I only packed um Richard don't tell my mom I only packed like half of this stuff Where's your stuff?

Oh well I've got it I've got it in my room right now you know we should put your stuff down let me show you around Okay She just kind of like tightens her little backstrip pack that's all she has with her three gold coins She is um so Stables first pointing to the um horses Yeah I gotta learn how to ride And you definitely will with me I'm excited you're a good teacher

I do I do a lot of um of that in particular though I guess a lot of times when I'm helping people I'm helping them learn to fly for the first time but it's not so different You're so cool But um how was your trip?

It was great I mean I'm just really excited I was like just asking Orie about like the houses and really just trying to get as much information in my head as I can and I think my best asset to you will be like healing and support that I can really do well like really really well um and yeah I I I'm just I wanna do good I'm gonna do good I'm gonna do really good I promise cause I'm your retainer and I retain you super well It's I I'm glad that you're that you're um excited about it I'm terrified

Okay that's what I was getting but I didn't want to scare you I'm really really scared and I'm terrified and I hate her and she's kind of like just like vibrating a little bit Well it's believe me you don't have I mean I'm not going to say it's not scary to do something new cause it is

But it's also going to be a lot of fun and not everything all the time is going to be all like serious you know it's not always like plan and strategy and alliance and fighting and everything like we'll be able to go and have fun and learn and especially I mean you've never been to Voron Adam before and we have two days here

What do you like to do for fun? I don't know anything so lead the way Absolutely And she'll she'll get them all settled with the horses and stuff but the thing is about going around Voron Adam is it's like especially around her that her keep it is a very there there's a lot to see even just like her her home here

It's a huge city yeah and like even just like the even just their house it's kind of crazy so like they can go to like the horse stables first and where they have it all set up and things and it looks like I mean I would say it's not like run of the mill even because like it is a nice stable and there's a lot of pasture and all that but then

But then they can go show and see like I imagine what you're going to take to see though I'm looking at my list to see what the heck everything is freaking called. I have a six page document in front of me Six page? Jesus! Yeah thank you Timmy I've got a shack and I'm happy with that But after they get the horses settled she'll be like well do you want to go see the Pegasi stables?

My goodness yes and maybe maybe once I learn to ride a horse I can I gotta be in the air I gotta be in the air Okay yes I'd like to see the Pegasi Alright and they I thought this had a special name I don't think it does I know we have the windspan fields but is that separate or is it the same?

It's the stables and stuff that are on the fields Okay so we're going to the windspan fields which is basically super private like it's only the Avonlea's and a few people who work with them can go in And it's where they train and where they train the flying mounts and everything and Timmy had a cooler description than I did when he made this up No it's good No I'm serious though you described it really cool and it's been months and I don't remember

No I like you think it sounds cool Jenny you did a good job No I'm saying I genuinely don't remember everything No I genuinely don't remember what we're doing Yeah the windspan fields are the ones that are known as the span is this huge stretch of private land basically Multiple stations are multiple stables and such are dotted throughout each segmented it's this highly effective highly organized stretch of land where basically these animals are trained

And of course just the structure of it as Velora is taking you through it as you see how everything runs like a machine through this place it is the structure is just awe inspiring And you learn that huh Velora has been a part of this ever since you were born Like that's why yeah right it's like You are walking by some stables you see some of the pegasi are being tended to you see one of them looks at you and kind of like narrows his eyes at you

So specifically kind of like nervously moves behind Velora Oh he he just likes to that's how he likes to size people up Oh yeah hi Do you want to meet the pegasi No I'm good I can help you win them over a bit Please that one's glaring at me All right um well she's a lot friendlier in my opinion she gives her a sugar cube says here you can give her that she really likes sweets Oh uh here you go Kind of like gently holds it out It's it Good I think we're friends now No

See the eyebrows never mind we are peers No acquaintances Okay we are acquaintances now that's good I'll take that They can be a little So the pegasi are fantastic and they know that they are They know that they are desirable and deserving of respect and so as long as you treat them with respect usually they'll They'll come around to you but they don't they don't warm up to people so fast as a lot of other animals It's okay I can understand that I'll win them over one day Maybe

It's okay you don't even if they're like try to intimidate you you don't have to like completely Completely go subservient stay on a horse I'll just stick with the horses on the ground I think I think I meant to stay on the ground maybe You know we actually When we match people with pegasi when they're interested in purchasing them they They'll stay here for a while to find a compatible match and also see if they're Capable of caring for them properly and whatnot

So it can be a pretty big ordeal to actually match someone to a mount and it's especially difficult when they want like tons like I mean like places like Irabrin Have many that are meant to be used by many people and not just like one person to bond with but I mean we prefer making sure that they're bonded to a specific rider because they can be I mean they're the best when When they're matched well Most students ride pegasi

I think everyone learns I mean it doesn't have to be a Pegasus I think they also have griffins and wyverns at Irabrin Wow wow And horses of course Right there's a riding unit and a flying unit I know So you'd be in the flying unit so I have to be with you right so I will fly No I mean like a subject in class will do both Oh oh wow wow okay wow wow wow okay we're gonna learn wow okay we're gonna learn a lot okay okay cool okay

Everyone gets to learn a bit of everything like if I mean like I've never cast a spell on my life well except for one You never cast a spell?

Well I have some that I can cast just like innately I just kind of know how to Cause that's how I was born I can help you with that no problem Yeah but what I'm saying is like everyone gets to do a bit of everything at Irabrin and learn a little bit of everything That's good cause then we get to know what our peers you know are coming from and we understand where they're coming from Mmhmm Um But yeah so I'll be totally new to the magic thing and obviously you're not New to everything else So

I think we'll be okay I was curious like how long have you been learning magic is it all just healing magic?

Um I mean I know a couple other things for protection just because you know it's important in case you're you know out in the woods alone and you never know So like I was taught basic stuff but ever since I could first hold a prayer I see Well that's really impressive of me it never really like clicked right with me I tried a little bit I mean I'm sure I could get it but I just didn't keep pursuing it really My dad tried to push it for a little bit

Yeah I had Alnalda to help me and a lot of it just came from you know Worship and I mean like trust, trust in the gods They would supply with me the resources that were necessary needed to cast a spell They make sure to pray every morning and night and you know in between and yeah that's where my magic comes from is just their belief in me and my belief in them And do you pray to a specific god or many? I do well we pray I pray to all of them but I've got I've got a special one

How do we pray? Is it a dune? A dune? A dune? A dune

Dune right? A dune, dune Dune's always been my favorite She is one of innocence of youth of vitality I think she's one of the younger gods too Oh Yeah You know like people always say like you can like predict like what someone like what somebody's like deity is and stuff and I've never been that good at that but I can kind of see it Ah yeah I mean I think it's important that like I know this is kind of silly but When I was learning about all the gods you don't really hear much about her

You know like you hear all about like the Allfather you hear all about Thor all about Freya you know like we have all those stories and Dude you don't hear that much and I remember thinking well if you don't hear that much about her maybe she could Might help to have someone who listens wants to know more about her That's a really interesting way to look at it I mean like I If I'm being totally honest I don't know as much about like I mean like I've heard of basically all of them but

It's you're right like there is a big focus on I mean like the big names and everything but I guess the ministry you'd think the ministry would push the other ones out a bit more Yeah Maybe it's a funny thing You ever prayed? Oh um well yeah Which gods do you like to pray to? Oh well um I mean I mean like Yeah the Allfather and Can I insight check this? Yeah don't make an insight check She's taking a long time Ori is also listening like Hmm 13?

Um I don't I mean it's not a Lialized thing She's taking her sweet sweet time I think they're the same modifier But um I rolled an 8 but she like I mean like it's just like it's not that she hasn't like prayed before or anything It's not her faith It's not like she's outright lying it's just it's not like a regular like focus Yeah And I think Lucia clocks this and goes You know I think when it comes to faith it's like any Resource that we have in this world

Any tool and people should feel free to use it However or You know how and how much of it as much as they need or want Yeah for sure I mean like yeah It's great to have faith in the gods and everything too But it's great to have faith in other things like I put a lot of faith in phantom when I'm flying It's not the same kind of faith I guess but Yeah You know Um Oh yeah you So you you said that One of your big jobs was like watching boats I was wondering what that was about Um

Or like a boat master Nope I wish no Okay um She's like kind of awkwardly trying to make sure the pegasi don't over here Maybe you want Maybe you want to go to a next star next spot maybe Or I tell you that one Oh yeah let's She's watching the side eyes Well that's the thing too is that the pegasi actually are pretty um like Like they are pretty connected to the gods too Aren't they Timmy Yeah Which I think I think velour gets reminded that as they're walking She'll go

She'll bring it up and she'll go like Oh well you know um That is something The pegasi and everything is that the um They they have a pretty strong connection to the gods and the Valkyries And what not They're spies She'll go Punches Punches you out there Punches me in the mouth I mean I don't know if I'd say that but I I know I know lots of people who Who fly Are very focused on like the Valkyries and Stuff like that Wow Valkyries But the boat thing Oh um that was Okay so My dad had this saying

About how like boats Aren't meant to stay in a harbor they're meant to like go out to sea Or they're meant to float or something and And I I got confused and I I was trying to tell you that like I'm supposed to Go out into the world kind of thing And it just is a whole Jumble and Mass of words Cause I was panicking and Yeah Oh I thought Okay cause I definitely Thought you said something like you were like a Boat master or something and I I wish I was

I was trying to figure out what kind of boats if you lived there Because I mean there's I wish because then I would have Another skill set um But I don't I really don't Um Just got my magic And my Chipper spirit Well we'll get to go not We won't get to go like Proper sailing But I think we'll get to do a lot better sailing On the way to Irobrin That would be so cool I've actually Never been on like a big boat I've made a raft before and put it out into the lake

But I've never been on like a boat boat My parents said we can take The airship to Irobrin Yep and I haven't ridden on it yet so it'll be My first time That's so cool oh my god Trying not to freak out um She'll go and then she'll look To you and go Oh um Wait how's your How's your house doing Oh well I mean We're doing great I mean My mom's been pretty busy Uh I know you heard this stuff about Like the deal If that's what you're worried about but like We didn't need

What my dad was bargaining for Anyways I mean we've been doing great I mean this The pegasi and everything is kind of separate To my house's duties This is just kind of like the family business Per se oh Yeah like everything like Nothing Everything's good nothing You know Seemed off or odd and everything Everything's good The I mean yeah we've been doing great It seems like better and better every year Good Good great Perfect good Okay um where to next Well um there's the griffins Over here

She's still kind of being like It's really weird to ask Hey Donna don't think too much About it What why do you ask was it the stuff My my dad said Um Uh Um uh Uh I Um Okay so You Have I hold on Jenny did I tell you I could see the future yet Have you nope No okay You've been saying things like I saw you And I I'm supposed to help you I haven't actually said Um Okay I don't know if this is uh But Laura I have something important to tell you But maybe we should do it later

Because today is about fun Right Well um Yeah I mean It's if you need to tell me Something you can tell me but If you don't want to That's fine too No I do want to I just I just want to tell you That I'm going to ruin this day that you set up It's Believe me you're not Going to ruin anything If it's something you need to tell me you can tell me And I mean I just don't want you If you're worried about something You know But you don't have to if you don't No Okay so that that when

Valora says you don't have to she like grabs Your hands and holds them tightly and goes I can't see them My lady I was waiting for you Oh my lady As you hear a voice call out To both of you in the distance As your hand was grabbed and you Ready to speak you hear my lady As you see Jashon Dandasto The master of coin and home Aurora and Adam A man from Kanaka He wears a lot of tan skin he wears robes He always makes the point to be fashionable To be different from everybody else

Thruud Thruud? Thruud Thruud Thruud? Thruud?

Would you would know Um Lucia is the name of Thor's daughter Oh absolutely named And um And the house cat-volater who lives in T'kor who you You know respect definitely Who are known as the hammer of The hammer of the king They have an aeon mark that's believed to be Bestowed upon Thor himself She gasps out loud They're in our house?

Um Thruud I think she'll be A first year with us Cause she's the youngest And Todd is a third year But I haven't really met them So who's in the First year house with us?

Yeah so Thruud Quincy Um Marcellus Um trying to think if I know Anyone else who's coming So there's gonna be looking at the list That guy is a commoner So I won't know him Um It's too poor for me To know I only know the nobles I won't know her because She's a commoner Um Probably don't know him Yeah So okay it's five so there's Five Those are the people I know there'll be more For sure How many people are normally in a house Do you know? Um Timmy How many are there?

It can be upwards of 30 to 40 Oh shit Per year or all years? All years Oh what's per year? Hmm? It's per year like how many Like how many of like our classmates

Are we expected to meet? Oh okay Um it's about 30 It's about 30-40 per year Um So it's gonna be like over 100 students Mostly nameless people in the crowd So like about like 10 People in the first year No no like 30, 30 people Oh wow Oh that's big why did I think it would be smaller Silver Lion is definitely the smallest Though I'd say like closer to like 15-20 a year But the other houses definitely have more people That's a lot of NPCs holy shit Yep each of them are named

And have back stories so get ready Holy fuck No they're not, no they're not I'm just gonna be like I'm gonna ask every single one a very Insightful questions about their back story The second I meet them My name is Flanagan Ad blocker Ad blocker?

Looking at my screen Flanagan Ad blocker Oh it's Flanagan or Raymore Oh I'm glad that we already know some people heading in Yeah Oh and I'm pretty sure The blue wolves and The crimson griffins leaders are also gonna be First years which also means their retainers Probably will be too Doesn't always but usually they're the same year So maybe we should align ourselves With them for the mock battle No cause that's actually exactly What I was thinking because okay so Yes cause with the mock battle

Here's the thing is I know that they Start in the positions of the regions And so the silver lions are always in the middle Which can kind of suck in a way Yeah wait that's kind of like right in the center Of to get like let's not be that of us Yeah and so then like if you have Aurora And um Stravai Beneath Then we could all just collapse on Either the boars Or the moose That's brilliant Velora Well it depends if they want to do that but Maybe since their first years they'll be more inclined

To work together Wait then what hap What happens when there's only Three houses standing left Well we have to turn on each other Eventually Oh But we can think about that When we get there you know Yeah yeah that's that's that's That's future us problems Speaking of the future I'm kidding By the way By the way She totally forgot Oh yeah she'll go Oh yeah wasn't there something you wanted to Say earlier My lord um my lady Can I see you for a moment I'll see what is calling you over

Yeah what do you need Stravai meant to say something um I was just Wanted to get your and you leave Um see you for a second Uh This is a lot Lucia Yeah Make a wisdom save Oh no No I'm gonna get In trouble If I freak out Thirteen That is a fail What does that mean I'm gonna be the weirdo At school That's what that roll's for Roll to get ostracized Roll for reputation Roll for how much they want to bully you Okay thirteen bullies Gonna make new NPCs I'll find you You hear that Nelda?

And then Velora you're eventually Are done signing off On this Signing off and helping this person And you look back to see Lucia Talking to herself out loud With Rujah and Orië there Yeah Rujah was with you but Orië is Kind of like giving a little Side eye Lucia Who are you?

Tap on your shoulder and then you just snap out of it Ah Hi yeah hi You Maybe you should settle down and Find your room Oh okay I was just waiting for Velora to come back and then someone And then she looks around And like See that there's no one right it's just those two Yeah Um Yeah As she kind of locks eyes with Orië and kind of like catches on That oh fuck Oh shit Not again Yeah I should probably lie down You know Sorry Um people keep wanting Help with stuff um once we get out

Of here that should be less common Though I usually work in In here You're really busy I mean this is your home and you are The lady of this house Um speaking of house I'm a little tired Velora would you mind if you Showed me where I could put my bags Down and stuff Yeah yeah let me show you Your Room will be In the keep so we'll have to Go this way okay She says go in you make your way Into the keep it has a draw Bridge that there used to be a moat There but your mom decided to put something

That's more welcoming eventually Um there used to be a moat There Well that's the castle You see little You see these little stone alligators Where you know mom's sense of humor Just located where the moat used to be But it's now You know the 90's mom aesthetic where they had like the Chickens like everyone had like Ceramic chickens That's what this is You You see a sign that says survive Thrive Survive Survive thrive vibe I can't I can't Oh no As you move into What feels like

A castle like you can't believe Somebody this is a place you live in Um this is like Huge fortified walls Which huge like Huge slips in the walls where like people can like Shoot out of like forts you see Books um And then you move past into these vast Open halls you move through One dining hall and then you move through another One wait why are there two Well I mean sometimes If we have a lot of people over they put the Kids in that one The kid Table the kid dining room The kid dining room

Definitely if it's really big You see Painting depictions of all the lords Of the uh of the houses Lined up on one all and of course you see Um one that says Sabine Avonlea Um which Looks like a much younger version Of the um Says of Valora's mother She looks like you I don't know People people are saying that I think it's the hair And um you do see underneath Her uh she She's she's the only one that has A little addendum at the bottom It says Sabine Avonlea And it has the year she was born

With the dash and There's nothing yet where Nothing yet after the dash And on the bottom it says In parentheses Cloudbreaker um Cloudbreaker Avonlea What's a cloudbreaker? Oh it's from her flying Oh! Ruger goes only the best flyers Gained the title of cloudbreaker Wow Do you want that title? She looks to Valora Oh of course She looks At Ruger because I'd say I'm already there Overconfidence is a slow And insidious killer My lady You've seen me fly You're good

For flying? I mean like I don't think Like officially or anything I'd have to think about it Oh I can always make up other ones too Yeah I mean people give like nicknames Related to their flying all the time Cloudbringer I feel like that'd be more like a mage You know like a really powerful druid Oh I've ever met a druid before I have actually No actually I met I actually stayed with a What's it called A group of druids In the Folger For a while They live in this

They live in this part of the Folger Where it's like the winds are so hostile That basically nobody lives there And it's like the air is so Charged electrically I went there to try to teach Phantom how to fly better with the heavy winds Yeah my dad So I was supposed to be staying with The Vialazone house in the unskilled rise And then I kind of ditched them Because my dad hadn't approved my Camping trip And he came back He came back, he cut it short I only got to stay a couple weeks

Where else have you been? Oh well I mean like all over the kingdom Like what? What did it look like? What were the people like? Well you know Kanaka is really cool Really? Yeah if you go all the way to the west they have these beaches And stuff and There's this like There's even like the islands off of Kanaka are really beautiful too but I haven't gotten To go there very much I've only seen those in books Is the water that blue? Oh it's way more than I Saw in the books

More? Yeah on a sunny day It reflects The sky like perfectly And if you get up to like the really Like fancy parts Where like all the nobles go on Their big vacations and stuff too It's really pretty but I actually kind of preferred it more further To the south What's in the south?

Well I just kind of liked the It's a lot busier It's less like kind of artificially Like secluded for the noble vacations And it's like they have these Like really bustling port towns And that's where actually the only time I've seen airships Are over there Also Regular ships too I mean Strava is pretty cool There's the There's the moonlit chasm What's that?

Well it's this big chasm that Reflects the light of the moon at night So it shines really really bright Oh I'm sure That's beautiful It really is It's really cool I mean you know Strava has all the magical anomalies And some of them are more Entertaining than others but that's a pretty cool In my opinion Wow wow wow wow wow Do we get to go on field trips?

Oh yeah That's actually a big part At Iribrin is we go travel to other Other regions To do our missions That's so cool I'm so excited and she immediately Without warning just flings her arms Around and gives you a big hug Thank you thank you thank you for choosing me To be your retainer It'll be a lot of fun She like kind of like Pulls back and like It's gonna be incredible We're gonna see beaches and Blue waters and then Moon chasms and then So many different things And when you can fly

When you can fly a lot that opens up to you My gosh I mean I was in I was leaving Aurora the morning Of the big ceremony What was Aurora like? Oh well where we were Was pretty secluded and well Snowy cold Snow? You saw snow?

It's It's very very snowy Up there I mean like A lot of the villages are a lot more Secluded because of it that's Everyone there can hunt And they're used to like big monsters and stuff I fought a Yeti while we were there Ruta saw it Ruta didn't see it happen but she Was nearby I didn't realize how big the world was And that's just the kingdom Are there other schools like ours?

I don't know if I've heard of anything Quite like Iret Britten I mean there are Big schools Other places Even here Stravae has Solivagan Academy Which is a pretty Big magic school but I know overseas and what not they have Pretty big schools too but I don't think They I think our kingdom is pretty unique in having The five regions So defined And lorded over separately That it is pretty Unique being able to Have a dedicated place where A lot of people come from Not just from the closest

Areas around them to go to the school but All over the kingdom There's so much to see Eventually You get to You get to this room Where you know You know Lucia is going to be studying And as you director You The door opens And Lucia Legitimately This room is a little Bit bigger than the entirety of your House Your little shack Your little cabin It is a vast expansive room A king size bed Crowns a part of the wall Where a big Two pane window Curtains drawn Show a big view of the

City on the outside Multiple Are there going to be other people sleeping with me? I don't know We have the executors From just next door See the bed for one person? I mean you could fit more than one But it's just you Didn't you?

Alright Tim I cut you off No no that's good And I'm not too far Away from here It's a couple Turns away I could show you if you needed it but Yeah there's You can usually find lots of the staff around Pretty easily And anyone would be willing to help you with anything you need So What else does the room look like Tim?

Oh it's just well appointed It's like In your shack you had like a little chest A little dresser You didn't have exactly the closet I had my little corner I'm sure There are like three dressers Two gilded chests There is Like two different desks for you to sit To sit on I just have my Tiny backpack She puts her tiny Hangs her tiny backpack up In one of the dressers and goes Well, all unpacked She turns Back to Valora It's probably kind of smart to pack light

I mean we're getting uniforms and everything at school anyways Well that's a good idea That way people won't It's harder to tell us apart If we're commoners or whatever If we're all in the same uniform right? I mean Yeah but like basically everyone knows And they don't even have a sleep In the same building What?

Yeah they separate the common folk from the nobles I'm your retainer I should be with you It's not like you can't come there But yeah I don't think it's I think it's I don't think it's right either It's one of those things from The more traditional days of the school That hasn't really left Well that's okay because I'll get to know A bunch of other commoners In our class Yeah that's true And from the other classes That's true and I'll be able to Make alliances and learn from them

Well you know that is It is a fair point too Of like someone needs help With something like outside of school hours You're a lot closer to them If you're in that dormitory And we all kind of understand each other I'm sure they're nervous just like I am Oh yeah I'm sure they are But I think it's gonna be Gonna be good I have good feelings I know we're gonna do right I'm gonna make sure it's right And Don't worry about What I was gonna tell you earlier That can come another time If you're sure

Yeah Yeah I don't think we have anything to worry about This For Luane I don't know For Luane Goes It did sound awfully important Lucia Anything You're worried about Most things that people worry about Are things that We can make better Or that we can Grow through That's how I've always seen it So whatever you're worried about We'll work through it We'll get through it And Our destinies are ours to map She kind of like Thinks at you in confusion When you say destinies are ours to map Very softly

So that almost only Velora can hear She says No they aren't Well that's just how I feel I'm not sure Well that's just how I see it Um Can I show you something And she's gonna try to take Velora away from the other two So that they have a bit of quiet Yeah Um Laura Remember how I said all that stuff About how I'm supposed to help you And stuff and stuff Yeah Yeah I was kind of told to By your goddess Or your The gods Send me messages sometimes And not only that Not only that I can see the future

Executor That puts you off I'm never gonna be able to tell her This is literally how The cybals work too Is like the cybals will try to tell you things Sometimes and it will literally Like thunder over them in the unsealed Rhymes and stuff Wait that's so cool Tim that's so smart So she literally can't tell you every time She tries to tell you she can't I'm so glad that Jenny Remembers that small detail From so long ago No I clocked it the second time I was like

Yeah that's what's happening isn't it Wait guys that's so cool and also so Smart and also I'm sorry for giving Tim Random heart attacks where he has to Interrupt He can like eat a secluded room He's like mad at me The door rips open You hear from the outside, Executor He says hello nice to meet you As you see Sabine Avonlea The lord of house Avonlea Welcome to Ori and give her a hand shake It's an honor to have you And looks inside the room And just goes And waves to you Lucia Hello lord

This time the interruption is from a real person Timmy gets into the game Take a hit And stuff about destiny You were saying Sometimes I think fate does play a role in things I mean I think about it I think about it I think about it If I hadn't have stopped Graham We would never have met Sure but is that like Fate or is that She's like She's nodding Like very It's you and your choices No because You chose to intervene Because I had a second chance What do you mean Laura I can see into the Future

What I was able to say it She's like As she says it she waits for someone She actually ducks Because she thinks someone's going to come storming in the room And when they Someone fucking sucker punches her When she doesn't she Um I used to think it was just because I worshiped the gods But I learned last night at the party actually That I'm not alone but You can see the future It's like I'm not alone It's like Like a magic thing Like spells or No it just happens I saw a vision of you And I saw

I've been seeing a lot of fire and Distraction and I know that I know that I know that I'm supposed to help you I'm just I'm just worried Um Tim's cutting on his fucking fingers I don't know what Can she insight check Oh Lucia says I can see As Time vaults backwards And you feel it Lucia Velora is intently listening to you What you were saying I can see how well You're loved Well sure Yeah I mean My mom's pretty great But that's not what you want to do You know But that's not what you wanted to
