Illario & Caterina Confrontation This scene takes place after the First Talon drama has been resolved, leaving Illario alone in a cell for his crimes. His solitude doesn’t last long, though. I hadn’t planned on sharing this initially, but I had too much fun writing Illario as the venomous, bitter little shit that he is to let it stay buried. Update: Thank you for engaging with my writing—it means a lot! I’m still getting used to sharing my work, so any input boosts my confidence and keeps me motivated!

(The sound of a guard’s footsteps echoes down the corridor, followed by the low scrape of an ornate chair being placed outside his cell. Illario leans back against the cold stone wall, his glare sharp as Caterina steps into view. She lowers herself into the chair with practiced grace, smoothing her gloves as if she had all the time in the world.)

Caterina: (cold) "You’ve left me in quite the position, Illario."

Illario: (mocking) "Poor Nonna. Did I shatter your perfect little empire?"

(She doesn’t respond right away. Instead, she leans back in her chair, looking as if his words barely register.)

Caterina: (ignoring his jab) "The Crows won’t take you back—not after this."

Illario: "So. Exile it is then. To a swamp, maybe? No—" (he presses a hand to his chest, his tone feigned with mock theatrics) "—the Anderfels. Nothing says exile like dying of boredom in a blighted wasteland."

(His expression shifts, as though struck by sudden inspiration.)

Illario: "No, wait—you’re sending me to Kirkwall, aren’t you?" (he lets out a low, biting laugh.) "You really are a monster."

(Caterina’s lips curl into a faint grimace, just enough to acknowledge something in his words. His laughter falters, the mocking edge slipping as his suspicions solidify.)

Caterina: "Your death will be staged, of course. A quick knife to the ribs from one of the guards." (She pauses, her eyes finally shifting to meet his) "Then a small funeral—just enough to keep up appearances."

(He rise from his seat, pacing the cramped cell before stepping closer to the bars.)

Illario: "And you think I’d go along with this? That I’d play the obedient grandson one last time?"

(Caterina’s gaze hardens, her disdain barely concealed.)

Caterina: (A single, dry scoff escapes her) "Obedience? From you? But fine, if you’d really waste away in here to prove a point—go ahead."

(Her words hang in the air, offering no room for further argument yet Illario persists.)

Illario: (mocking) "Ah, how generous. Rot in here, or rot somewhere else: What a choice."

(Illario pushes off the bars, and crosses the small cell. The bedframe groans under his weight as he drops onto it.) Illario: (voice low, biting) "Before I decide anything, tell me, Nonna—has your little King of Crows finally warmed up to the throne?"

(He tilts his head, watching her closely)

Illario: "Then again, I suppose he hasn’t had much time to sit on it—still away, running those errands. Funny, how easily he’s taken to playing the hero.” (He leans back slightly) "The First Talon; off saving the world instead of running the House."

(Caterina’s cane taps once against the stone floor, the sound sharp and precise, breaking the brief silence.)

Caterina: “Enough. I chose Lucanis because he has what you don’t. Strength. Discipline. And the will to put this House first.”

(For a moment, something vunerable flickers across his face, but it’s buried quickly under his usual grin.)

Caterina: (cold) "Spare me, Illario. You’ve never been hard to read."

Illario: (pausing, watching her carefully) “You say that, but I fooled you all for an entire year.”

Illario: "But maybe you’re right. Maybe I’m not cut out for it."

(He looks at her, his eyes burning with hate.)

Illario: "Then again—how’s your perfect choice working out for you, Nonna?" (He gestures broadly to the cell around him) "You’ve got me here, rotting away, while the ‘Demon of Vyrantium’ is slowly slipping through your fingers."

(Caterina's expression doesn’t seem to change, but he catches it—the faintest tension in her jaw. It’s enough.)

Illario: "I see it in you." (His grin sharpens) "You keep telling yourself it’s the contract that is keeping him away. But no, Caterina—he left you behind the day you made him First Talon.

(For a moment, Caterina doesn’t move. She sits perfectly still, her grip tight around her cane. Then she rises slowly. Without a word, she turns her back to him and begin to walk away. He calls out to her, one final time, almost desperate.)

Illario: "I used to curse myself for sparing you."

(It works. She stops abruptly mid-step, but doesn’t turn. He straightens slightly, his voice quieter but no less sharp.)

Illario: "I thought it the worst mistake of my life... but watching the empire you built collapse under its own weight? It’s satisfying. Very satisfying.” (He leans back.) "Even from in here."

Caterina: "Enjoy it while it lasts." (Without a glance back, she adjusts her grip on the cane and resumes walking)

Process / Notes (because apparently I can't stop tinkering): This Illario is probably more sympathetic toward Lucanis than the games version. Though, he is it in a very twisted way, I don’t know if that shows anymore since I cut these line:

Illario: "I don’t even regret sending him to the Ossuary."

Illario: (scoffs) "Even that prison was kinder to him than you." (He laughs bitterly) “The man has a damn demon inside him, and he’s still freer now than he ever was under you.”

Frequently Asked Questions:

Is Caterina behaving like enough of an asshole here? Is Illario snarky enough?

Should I have kept that Ossuary line just to make things spicier?

Is Lucanis tired somewhere off-screen, sensing this nonsense from afar?

I was working on editing a fic in Ao3 and highlighted a sentence fragment, and the Edge browser I use had the audacity to suggest using (what I presume was) AI to rewrite my sentence.

My reaction: <i>excuse me?!?</i> You're suggesting <i>I</i> use <i>AI</i> to <i>write my fic?!?</i> Are you aware of what I do for a hobby, what this site even is??? Do you know the pride I take in being able to say every word in my fics, the overused, the unnecessarily obscure, the purple prose that exists solely because I like writing it, is completely and wholly of my design? That the only influence on my writing shall be the <i>human</i> writers who came before me and the other galaxy-brained <i>human</i> fandom writers I know? There is NO PLACE for you here! BEGONE!!!

So yeah; I'll never use AI to write so much as a work email because my Writer Pride won't let me. 😁

ChatGPT Guide for Writers

Do: ask for help brainstorming

Don't: steal ideas exactly as they're given to you or without adding any input/original ideas of your own

Do: ask for writing tips

Don't: trust the bot 100%, or take its word without doing more research on your own

And ESPECIALLY don't: ask it to write something for you and then copy & paste/steal that writing as your own

I don't believe that we should avoid using AI at all costs, but I do think we have an ethical duty to use AI responsibly.

You can use it as a tool to learn. A tool to brainstorm ideas. A tool to enhance your own work.

But remember that AI learns off other people's input.

Do not steal.

An AI's work will never be unique without YOUR creativity mixed in

I had to spend a fair amount of my day waiting for things to happen, so I decided to play around with this AI story generator I found a few days ago. It’s pretty good for short scenes, but the output needs some serious work if you’re actually trying to make a story with it.

So yeah. Fun toy, but definitely not something I’d suggest using for anything more serious than some basic brainstorming.

Here’s some issues I noticed about its output…

Extremely conflict avoidant. It doesn’t matter what happens during the story, characters will inevitably become better friends and give each other second/third/infinity chances. It leaves you wishing the characters would get angry.

Enforced happy endings. Don’t try to make it write horror or anything more than fluff. It just keeps trying to make everyone in the story happy. Note that very short stories (eg, an excerpt from a mad scientist’s journal) do work as intended: it’s capable of creating conflict, but can’t resolve it.

Constant derailing. Once the output is longer than a few paragraphs, it constantly tries to end the story.

No pacing. In addition to trying to end the story the moment any actual conflict arises, it has an annoying tendency to rush things along. Forget slow burn romance - in these stories, the guy and gal meet and have kids by the third paragraph. The apocalypse begins and is thwarted within 300 words. Every single time.

Character details get forgotten regularly. There’s a surprisingly good chance that the AI will forget key details about the characters and then remember these details later on. For example, it might describe Spock’s red blood or Kirk’s blue uniform in one paragraph, and then remember that Kirk’s shirt and Spock’s blood are both green in another. It’s jarring every time it happens.

Hopefully this doesn’t remind any one of a recent tv show or movie they’ve seen.

Can Academic AI Content Detection Tools Identify AI-Written Essays?

With the recent increase in AI tools, such as ChatGPT, a large number of students are able to utilize this technology for their essays, assignments, and projects. A question here may be if it is possible for universities to detect an AI-written essay. Since AI writing tools are getting better, it is high time to learn how institutions apply Academic AI Content Detection to recognize machine-generated content and how you can avoid certain pitfalls.

The answer lies with the advanced Academic AI Content Detection technologies that universities employ in maintaining academic integrity. These tools have become highly sophisticated, hence letting universities identify even the minute difference between human and AI-written content. Let's find out how these detection tools actually work, how effective they are, and what you can do to keep your work undetectable.

What is Academic AI Content Detection?

Academic AI Content Detection: This is a specialized tool using advanced algorithms that analyze and make out whether the piece of text was written by a human or generated through AI. Universities and other academic bodies receive great help from such tools so as to assure original student submissions. These detectors look for patterns common in writing produced by AI, such as repetitive phrasing, overly formal language, or overtly polished structure.

Strong Academic AI Content Detection Tool usage is indispensable for maintaining academic integrity in the academic environment. These tools work on certain markers: writing style, syntax, the structure of content, and the usage of vocabulary. Identifying such markers, these tools help the institutions flag off content that seems to be written by AI.

How Do Academic AI Content Detection Tools Work?

Academic AI Content Detection Tools work on the principle of machine learning combined with natural language processing. When you submit an essay, the software examines the structure, choice of words, and syntax of the text. AI-generated content has a formal tone, lacks personal touch, and sometimes has unnatural flow, which could help distinguish it from human writing.

While the tendency and purpose of such detection tools are to pick up on inconsistencies such as this, showing where a piece of text does not quite align with typical human patterns of writing, this makes the use of AI writing tools like ChatGPT very risky for academic submissions. Even though the AI-generated content may seem impeccable, it usually can be detected with good accuracy by Academic AI Content Detection.

How Accurate Are Academic AI Content Detection Tools?

At this point of evolution, Academic AI Content Detection technologies are incredibly accurate; it is today possible to get consistent predictions that really help universities pinpoint AI-generated contents with assurance. The tools scrutinize logical cohesion and the use of complex sentence structuring and syntactic flow for one's writing.

Sometimes, these tools may even flag essays where only some sections were AI-generated. It has gone so far that students preemptively use Academic AI Content Detection tools to make sure their work doesn't raise any red flags. Understanding how these tools function can help you find and address any AI-generated elements in your writing before it is due.

How can Desklib help students in the detection of AI-written content? 

Desklib's Academic AI Content Detection Tool will be a great solution if one is worried whether or not his essay may get flagged. The online platform offers a free, easy-to-use tool for students to use in order to identify AI-written content within essays and academic papers. This analysis tool will then give a full assessment by showing which parts of the text appear to be written by AI.

Desklib's Academic AI Content Detection Tool gives students peace of mind, helping them know that their work meets the standards required in academia. It is friendly to use and gives feedback worth its weight in gold to refine your writing and hence avoid detection issues effectively.

Conclusion

Universities can detect if your essay is AI-written since AI Academic Content Detection tools are still in their development. Their developed technique enables institutions to identify AI-generated content through patterns and inconsistencies that characterize machine-written content. That requires careful review and personalization of the work AI does to avoid detection. Running your essay through a reliable Academic AI Content Detection tool, such as Desklib's, will help you identify and eliminate potential issues before submission. Above all, one must not forget about academic integrity. Responsible use of AI tools and reflection of your efforts in your work will see you through with at least possible complications in your academic journey.

AI for Content Creators: How Writing Tools Can Elevate Your Data Storytelling Game

Imagine this: You’ve spent weeks meticulously analyzing mountains of data. You’ve identified key trends and uncovered valuable insights. But then comes the villain — crafting a compelling story to communicate these findings to your team or stakeholders.

This is where many data analysis projects fall flat. The data might be rock-solid, but translating it into a clear, engaging narrative can be a daunting task. Thankfully, a new hero has emerged on the scene: AI writing tools.

The Peril of the Data Deluge

Here’s why data storytelling often struggles:

Time Constraints: Turning data into a story takes time you may not have.

Technical Hurdles: Writing captivating narratives and designing visuals isn’t everyone’s forte.

Engagement Woes: Keeping non-technical audiences hooked on complex information can be a challenge.

Enter the AI Writing Superhero

AI writing tools empower data analysts to overcome these villains with a range of superpowers:

Idea Generation: Stuck on an angle? AI can help brainstorm engaging story hooks and identify the most impactful insights.

Content Creation: Draft compelling introductions, body paragraphs, and conclusions, saving you valuable writing time.

Clarity Enhancement: Ensure your story is clear, concise, and tailored to your audience through AI-powered language suggestions.

Visualization Assistance: AI tools can recommend data visualization formats that best represent your findings.

The Data Storytelling Triumph

Let’s see how AI writing tools can lead your data story telling project to victory:

Efficiency Boost: AI streamlines content creation, allowing you to focus on analysis and refining your message.

Clarity Reigns Supreme: AI helps translate complex data into easily understood narratives, ensuring everyone gets on board.

Creativity Unleashed: AI can spark new ideas and suggest innovative ways to present your data, leading to a more impactful story.

Data-Driven Heroics: Backed by AI analysis, your stories are grounded in solid data, lending them credibility and authority.

It’s important to remember that AI writing tools are not a solo act. They work best when collaborating with your data analysis expertise. Here’s how:

Provide Context: Explain your data and desired message to AI, guiding it towards the best narrative path.

Refine and Edit: AI-generated content is a starting point, not the final product. Edit and personalize it to reflect your voice and style.

Focus on Strategy: While AI handles the heavy lifting, you can focus on the strategic aspects of your narrative — the key takeaways and desired audience action.

Embrace the AI Writing Hero

By harnessing the power of AI writing tools, you can transform your data analysis projects from villainous data dumps to captivating stories that drive action and results. Remember, AI is there to make you, the gap analysis, the ultimate data storytelling hero!
