#Aurora Quest

[comicaurora]

So I’m reading The Green Knight for my Medieval English lit class and I went back and watched your Arthuriana videos for fun nostalgia, but I noticed when you were covering the Green Knight you called Arthur tired. Was there a specific reason why you did that or is that one of those things that, if you decided to redo that video, you would change? I just found it interesting bc the poem clearly states Arthur as boyish and his reason for initially accepting the challenge was pride.

The character of King Arthur that lives in my head has a little more "has been through the Arthuriana timeloop too many times" malaise than any proper characterization of King Arthur in the original stories. The story drifts and changes over time but Camelot always falls, because Arthur is a good king - some would say the perfect king - but that still isn't good enough.

Hey, guys!! I'm back with another (attempted) comedy. I wrote it in a hurry, so I fear it might be a teeny weeny bit messy. A few of the events, I guess, are exaggerated too. Please share your thoughts on this story and suggest me ways to improve. I hope you all enjoy it, and please pardon any errors. Happy reading!

Ps. This post is extra special as I’m celebrating my survival for a year on Tumblr.

A Quest for a Midnight Snack (Anniversary Special)

“Mr. Evans, I swear I thought it was next Thurse-!”

I stopped midway through my apology speech for forgetting my history exam as I looked around to realise it was just another of my nightmare and I am safely in my room with the said exam being held next week.

Rubbing my still sleepy eyes, I looked over at the clock. It was already 1 am! BUT I still have a truck load of slides to gobble up. I wish there was something called waking pills too so that I could keep my damn eyelids open for a few more hours.

Closing the lecture I was watching prior to dozing off graciously over my desk, I walked into the washroom and stood before the mirror. Dark eye bags, pale and oily skin and messy bird nest hair. Wow! What a beauty I am! I let out a humourless laugh.

“Maybe I should ditch college and start making horror short films. I could even break the internet as the next Annabelle.,” I gasped dramatically. “Just imagine the money flowing  in then! I can be a millionaire!” I chuckled creepily.

After spending five minutes contemplating my current student life and imagining the things I should have done instead, I splashed my face with water, brushed my hair, and returned to my workspace. Books piled over at the study table while a whole bundle of loose sheets scattered over the bed along with a few of my electronics, pillows and plushies. 

“WoW!! Looks like a tornado passed through the room.” And with a sigh, I began to tidy up.

After a few minutes, I stretched my tired body. It was 2.30 already. I just want to dive into my bed. It has been one week since I slept peacefully. Leave sleeping, I can’t even remember the last time Jess and me met up for lunch! 

Work can wait, I desperately need a short nap for few hours. But then my stomach growled. Fine! Food first, sleep next. And I bet I would go unconscious once my head hits the pillow.

I ambled into the kitchen and searched for a packet of instant noodle. Suddenly I felt something moving at the far end of the counter. My ears perked up. I gazed at that shadowed corner. Ok, this was scaring me out. Just yesterday, I overheard those elder ladies next door gossip about some murder that took place in this house, years ago. Not that I believe such supernatural entities, but the eeriness and the stillness of the hour still gave me goosebumps.

Taking a pan as a weapon, I slowly moved towards that said corner. I lifted the utensil up above my head and hit the counter. The loud bang against the marble echoed all over the empty room which even scared me. And to add to my panic, a cockroach appeared from that exact spot and directly flew towards my face. I screamed at the sudden sight of the horrendous insect and walked back, not noticing the table behind me. As a result, I accidentally hit my toe at its sharp edge. Screaming with pain I fell down face down while the pan in my hand hit my shoulder blade. I laid there sprawled on the cold floor for sometime as silence eloped my abode once again. All I wanted was to eat…………

Eventually, I settled on the couch with a bowl of noodles, blissfully watching my favourite show. Moments like this were rare luxuries amidst my juggling of part-time jobs and endless assignments. Laughing once in a while at some of the scenes, I comfortably emptied my bowl,  even noisily drinking the soup. There, my poor tummy was at last satisfied.

Humming to myself, I washed the dish and was about to dash to the bedroom by turning off the lights in the kitchen, (am scared of the dark) when something caught my eyes. A shadow. A silhouette. At the glass window of the balcony. I gulped as I stood still for a few beats, thinking whether to counter the god-knows-what-it-is or  practice my national level racing skills and zap to my room. But wait….what if its a burgler? Or even a serial killer?

After contemplating for a minute, I took a smart decision by taking Mary, my roommate’s baseball bat and advancing towards the shadow. I tiptoed silently towards the glass door. Swinging it open with a jerk, I slashed the bat in the air like a sword letting out a war cry and hoping to catch the intruder with a surprise. But- there was no one there. A cool wind outside rustled the leaves of the nearby branch which reached the balcony. Goosebumps erupted,  both due to the chill of the night and fear. Trying to squint my eyes, I search in the dark night. Not a soul at sight. Guess, the roach incident left my indicator on for suspicious activities.

I let out a loud yawn. Yep, that’s the cue to fall on the bed. But wait-. Suddenly, as tried to retire into the house, someone caught a hold of my hoodie. No. Hell, no! I shall not die today. I still have ten dramas tο watch and twenty places to tour, plus am not married yet. Nope, there are hundred reasons for me not to die tonight. Without any second thoughts, I slide out of the cloth and dashed inside without a second glance.

Banging the door of the bedroom, I bounced onto the bed like a kangaroo and fanatically looked for my phone. I threw all the pillows all over the room and turned the sheets while all the plushies went flying in the air. Where is that dang thing when I need it? What if that man had already entered the house? What if he got hold of the kitchen knife or what if he already had a machete?

And hence, I took the second smart decision. LOCK THE DAMN DOOR! Scurrying towards the door which I left ajar, I didn’t notice the tangled bedsheets around my ankle and thus, with a loud thud, I elegantly landed on the floor, hitting my head. Yep, that did it, my eyelids drooped and I slowly slipped into the world of darkness.

A few hours later ~

The soft warmth of the sun tickle my skin as I slowly woke up. Wait, why am I cold? Scratching my head, I sit up on the floor and scanned the place. Why am I in a- Wait!!! Then, suddenly, my brain started functioning properly as I remembered the last night’s incidents. And instantly, I glanced at the door. It was still slightly open, just like I had left it in the fiasco. The gap wasn’t enough for anyone to enter. Deciding to investigate like a brave woman I am (not), I shakily advanced towards the door and outside.

Running my eyes all over my lonely abode, I can confirm that everything is normal. Too much normal. Innocently normal. As if nothing happened. I walked towards the balcony and gasped at the sight……. My favourite hoodie, gifted by my mom in my last birthday was hanging on the  extended branch….

“Wow!! At least I caught my assaulter, didn’t I, Mr. Branch?” I murmured sarcastically, as I snatched my precious hoodie. And just I was about to go back, my eyes fell on a sap green overcoat hanging on the clothesline against the glass door. Max’s. He must have forgotten it after the meeting yesterday. 

“And here is my intruder.” I announced, so done with the whole thing and cursing myself in 1042025 languages. After last night, I solemnly swear to never pull an all nighter. I had enough adrenaline rush. All just for a Quest for a Midnight Snack.

WIP Wednesday

Tagged by @sheirukitriesfandom, thank you! I tag @dirty-bosmer and @nostalgic-breton-girl. : )

In which Isanna and Regill team up to discombobulate Renth at the barricade of the Threshold camp:

“Knight Commander, if I may make a personal inquiry,” he requested. “Of course,” she said again. “What do you want to know?” “I cannot help but observe that Regill Derenge still numbers among your companions,” he said with genuine confusion, “and not simply among them, but in a position of honor at your side, even after he so thoroughly attempted to discredit you. Why is that? I understand his martial capabilities are exemplary, but I would not have expected… Perhaps it is because you are keeping a close watch on him?” By the time he was finished, she was smiling so much that he was frowning in confusion, which only added to her amusement. “It’s because I love him,” she said softly. His eyes widened in surprise; for several moments he was simply lost for words, and her own eyes twinkled with mirth as she heard familiar footsteps approaching in his silence. “I see,” he said, and although he had recovered himself enough to speak, he still didn’t seem to be over the shock. “And does he… return that love?” “He does,” Regill said, coming to a stop at her side. His eyes were locked on Renth’s, his lips curved into a mischievous little smile, and it took all of her willpower not to laugh. “In love, Derenge?” the paralictor asked, seemingly unsure whether to be more incredulous or judgmental. “First that disaster of a tribunal, and now… this? Has the Bleaching finally addled your brain?” “On the contrary,” Regill answered easily, still smiling, “my Bleaching has been steadily reversing.” Renth’s eyes flicked up to Isanna’s as if to ask if this was some sort of joke; when she offered no explanation, he looked back down at Regill in consternation, and she finally gave in to her laughter.
