I pissed him off XD @ask-twoyearsafter I asked him too many questions 😅

[ask-twoyearsafter]

OH HEY! WHAT’S UP?

Hi! Sorry for the big gap of inactivity! We have been extremely busy with a lot of real-life things, such as college, work, and school. This askblog will not be abandoned, it's just that we do have some things to do in the outside world!

It's spooky month! So, I hope you enjoy Halloween when it comes up! -Mod Jack

[ask-twoyearsafter]

what a scary dream. :O i wonder what it meant?

◈◈◈𒁍

[ask-twoyearsafter]

Rikka said something about a Ranking System, correct? What are the ranks listed as?

◈◈◈𒁍

"Ooh! It's great you want to know so much about it! Never has anyone really asked a Rookie Soldier like me!" Rikka pointed a finger up.

"There are different kinds of guild ranks. His Majesty and I are Rookie Soldiers, and we deal with serious missions or fighting monsters.

There is also Overseer, which are our spies that get ultra top secret information, and bring it back to us.

Plotters, the ones who help our leader form plans. Brilliant strategists who know stuff top to bottom!

Guild Officer, the security of the guild. 

Master Apprentice is the third ranking below all the other Masters, and generally keeps an eye on everyone.

High Master, which is second in command, and they'll take over if anything happens to our leader.

And Guildmaster, our leader of said guild!

There are several different levels of those ranks. Rookie, Experienced, Veteran, and High. The better you do, the higher you go up the ranks! And what's better is that you get to choose which rank you want to be, except the higher leaders of course haha, and get special training."

Rikka hiccups, a hand pressed to her lips. "Hehe! I must be saying a lot…but His Majesty knows about the ancient Magik rankings! Would you like to tell us?"

"That information cannot be given so easily."

"Hh!"

[ask-twoyearsafter]

"So it turns you into a literal stoneface? *snrk*"

◈◈◈𒁍

Oh, those literal-sense jokes. He huffs and crosses his arms, all the while Rikka giggles.

"Hehe! Good one! <3"

Seriously.

[ask-twoyearsafter]

"Sooo, what does the potion do anyway Stoneface?"

◈◈◈𒁍

[ask-twoyearsafter]

An amalgamation of all monsters? It sounds quite hideous...gives me an idea that someone is capturing these monsters then experimenting on them. Just a theory though! Unless....

◈◈◈𒁍

Just a theory? Do some think that it is a little too far fetched? Turning a street corner, The King continues.

"Perhaps you are not far off."

"Eugh…I hate to imagine what that 'someone' could possibly be doing to them!" Rikka says, her tone iced with worry.

"Samples. And hopefully nothing more."

[ask-twoyearsafter]

(Hey, Bruno from Discord here!) So I'm practically curious King Arthur, what exactly made you get into hunting monsters? Are there any potions you're hoping to accomplish making? What's the most powerful monster you ever fought?

◈◈◈𒁍

Rikka looks curious as well, staring at The King. 

"Curious one, are you." He hums. They continue down the alley, going by a few citizens.

"Firstly…Since my crowning, I have come to realize these creatures have been harming others. They have a hard time stopping them. And as a King, it is my duty to protect."

"Yeah! I remember when he first came to the guild…It was so exciting. I never thought I could have been grouped with The King! Thank our Ranking System!"

He walks through a street pole, and Rikka follows right around.

"Secondly. I have a few potions in mind. Invisibility, invincibility, strength boost, nostrum���These require rare ingredients, however."

"Maybe you'll find something eventually!"

They finally make it out the alleyway, and look at the broad, endless sky.

"The most powerful monster…It was a strange anamaglation of every creature, that breathed flame like a dragon, and ice, wind. It took many hours to hunt, eliminate it, before it reached town." And he still has the scars.

Rikka lets out a little ooo, with a small smile.

[ask-twoyearsafter]

king, may I ask your grace and this unusual bun

◈◈◈𒁍

"You may."

Rikka tilts her head. "Bun? I'm no bun! But...go ahead, if you want."

[ask-twoyearsafter]

So is that your girlfriend?

◈◈◈𒁍  

Down the alley, away from the crowd, Rikka chokes on her own spit.

"HAH?! Me?! Girlfriend?! I-I mean, I guess I can understand the confusion, b-but it's not like that!"

"Rikka is my sidekick. Nothing more."

[ask-twoyearsafter]

Your Majesty where are we going what is this emergency i’m assuming we’re gonna find out but not hurt to tell.? *look concern*

◈◈◈𒁍   

 "Do not fret. It has been dealt with."

Rikka holds up the only remnant of the creature. A disgusting claw. "Looks like another one of those Otherwordly beings..."

[ask-twoyearsafter]

What was that creature?! where did it come from?

◈◈◈𒁍  

"We don't really have much information on that yet, sorry...But it's obviously, uhm..."

"Not from this land, nor this realm." "But that raises so many questions...

[ask-twoyearsafter]

TWO YEARS AFTER - CHAPTER ONE

Centuries ago, a mighty king slayed monsters, and ended the rule of many corrupted rulers. And his name, with Artorius Kingsmen.

The King makes his way to another kingdom far away, to deal with yet another incoming threat. Bringing his sidekick, Rikka, will they be able to succeed?

The potion was complete. A peculiar purple, with a single tooth suspended in the liquid. Reversing the effects of potions was not his favorite thing to do, but with this, it might come in handy one of these days...Not for himself, of course, but for anyone who might need it. Carefully, he takes the potion and puts it on one of the shelves nearby, with several other potions there as well, in all kinds of colors and...well, textures.

Shadow-walkers make fearsome foes, but a unique concoction when their teeth is taken. He's just lucky to stumble across one when he did. It wasn't the first. And certainly, would not be the last.

Those damned creatures. Made from the most undeserving emotion most humans could not stand to feel, walking around the forests and tearing to tear into flesh, he was more than glad he d e a l t  with those damned things in enough t i m e.

After staring at it for a moment, his hair starts to twitch as he hears the door knocking...He was ready to pull out his weapon, that his, until his head snaps around and he saw a peculiar hair cowlick through the window. And that form of knocking...was simple morse.

"Enter."

Rikka. 

She quickly opens the door, looking completely exhausted. "Y-Your Majesty-!"

"Are you injured?" He asks, approaching her slowly so he does not startle her. He...saw no scratches...But...what was the problem, then? Internal bleeding? A fracture bone?

"N-No, but-!" She seemed so out of breath, and he could tell she ran a long way...but she's already doing that anxious twitch, her hands resting on her knees, and some...sheets of paper between two of her fingers. "Ha.......I-I'm -- u-uh-!"

"Out with it, then." He speaks, volume just a little louder.

With a deep breath in and out, she stands up completely. "I hope th-that I am not bothering you right now...there is an emergency, k-kinda."

He quirks an eyebrow and crosses his arms. What sort of emergency was she talking about? If it was about the Shadow-walker in the forest, he had already dealt with it. Swiftly. Shedding it's blood, staining his sword.

"I'm talking code red type of stuff..." She raises her papers for him to take. "It looks like that she needs us. Look here."

Code red...Right, then this didn't look good. That's about a B rank type of fiend...Something changes in his eyes, once serious, now focused and yet...curious. He takes the papers away and looks them over...

What it is they needed to do, how to stop it, what it is the thing was...Looks as though nobody had the chance to see it yet, except...one. And they nearly got injured. Another one of those creatures that could have only come from the depths of hell...

....

"Did you get a ride here?"

Rikka shakes her head, no. "N-No, why-"

Quickly, he takes her wrist, and starts taking her towards the exit. With his other hand, he flings it up, and the door magically opens once again. They must make haste. There was no point in wasting anymore time here.

"Then hang on. Tightly."

Rikka looks nervous, as she already knows what he means by that. 

"Ah-! Sir, h-hang on a minute-!"

Glow sticks? Dangerous?? Well sure, maybe the thought of similar chemical reactions is a bit intimidating.. but glowsticks are completely harmless. Honestly unless you eat what’s inside it you aren’t gonna get hurt and even then that’s not that bad. Kids fucking LOVE glowsticks and I can’t say they’re irrational for liking them cause hello? Glowy stick thingy?? HELL YES!

◈◈◈𒁍

Perhaps, not irrational…kids will play with just about anything, after all. The entertainment of a stick being able to glow would distract them for an hour or two, those hyperactive jumping bags.

Even as he was working on the potion, it starts bubbling, but his attention did not waver.

"The substance is poisonous." Kids love eating random things. At the very least, there should be a nontoxic version. Aside from that... "Seems as though they can take it outside at night, at least." Brief entertainment.

He drops the last tooth in the bowl, and a small flame comes up. Though he doesn't move away.
