#Nykon

[sepublic]

With how I compared Nykon to a Goliath that the freak show survivors must overcome as David, I feel like there’s something to be said about their ally named David Kress... I’ve never really written or imagined a particular conflict with Nykon or Kress, who fight mostly because of proxies, i.e. Nykon is trying to kidnap Lloyd and that upsets Trexdis, and Kress cares for both. Or the fact that he learns to see the freaks as friends, so by extension he’s going to hate Nykon. But I’ve never considered anything personal between Kress and Lightning Dragon, if they’d hold a specific stance towards that person because they’re that person, not because of their relations...

I mean, I did characterize Kress as kind of a ‘loser’ in the eyes of the Arkley Gang, simply not good enough, cast aside and given an inferiority complex for it. And Nykon also has this, because she was also seen as a loser, hence why she was assigned to hunt down the traitors; So it’s a sore spot and a desire to prove themselves.

Of course, Nykon has sort of moved on but not really from her dragon superiors; Deep down she still hopes for approval, but she knows it’s a lost cause. Whereas Kress is very much continuing to dedicate himself to his former superiors... With the express intent of overthrowing them. So Nykon has basically given up but won’t consider defiance, while it’s the other way around for Kress; He refuses to talk about anything else, and he wants to burn the whole thing down instead of finding his place in it.

But in the end, they’re both still affected by and dependent on that kind of approval, wanting to manifest it in different ways; Nykon as a valued underling or even a peer, while Kress wants Arkley and the teachers to fear him, to regret having ever made an enemy of him as he rises above and they fall.

Case in point, I could absolutely see Nykon reading Kress and figuring this out subconsciously, projecting onto him by mocking how he’s a loser reject and knowing exactly which buttons to push from experience; Deep down, Nykon sees herself reflected, and is practicing self-harm via self-recognition through the other (derogatory). So they’re both weirdly underdogs, in the context of their backgrounds? Still powerful and dangerous individuals on their own and to the common person, but that’s not who they’re always concerned about.

Though, I feel the David Vs Goliath metaphor works better for the freaks, considering they start off as so much more out of their league, freaks by human standards but in the larger context of the GEverse, mundane nobodies with nothing special to them. Whereas Kress was trained since childhood and has actual, dangerous magic, so it isn’t as much of a journey to see him getting strong enough to fight Nykon as it is for the freaks; He’s already gone through most of that work. Maybe I should just ignore Kress being a David, avoid name-dropping David and Goliath, and/or even change Kress’ first name since it’s not that important to his character.

Fun fact, Nykon’s name used to be Nikon, but then I found out that’s the name of a popular camera brand and changed accordingly, with the letter Y being a handy backup. Pronunciation remains the same, NAI (rhyming with Eye)-con.

The Theotokos of Buchyn is an icon which appeared in the 18th century and honored as miraculous by the Orthodox Christians of Volyn, Rivne (Ukraine), and Pinsk (Belarus) Polesye. The icon measures 65x80 cm.

It is worshipped in the St. Nicholas Church, Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the village of Buchyn in the Lyubeshiv district of Volyn oblast of Ukraine. A 15-kilometer long religious procession to the icon of Our Lady of Buchyn takes place annually on May 22, starting at the village of Zarudchi in the Lyubeshiv district.

The Blessed Virgin is depicted with her hands folded in prayer and soulful eyes.

In the spring of 1706 on the island, among the floodplain of the river Stokhid, the villagers of Buchyn noticed an unusual light radiated by the miraculous Icon of the Holy Virgin.

Miraculous healing that began to occur in front of the image of Holy Mother, inspired inhabitants of Buchyn to built chapel on the place of her landing and later a church.

During the First and Second World Wars the icon was secreted in hiding place amid impassable swamps.

The senior priest of Buchyn, Sergiy Kulchytskyi ,recalled the memories about his life trial, which were written down by his daughter Valentyna. The Theotokos of Buchyn helped him to survive.

 Sergiy Kulchytskyi 1946 : «It was snowing after in 1938 years after the Protection Mother of God. I got up and went to feed cows at seven o'clock in the morning. While I was going back, my little son was running to me just in a nightshirt. I quickly leaned him up and went to the house. He had measles before it, but rash had passed away. Slavko caught terrible cold then. After a few days the temperature began to rise. We tried to help him at home, asked medical assistant, Demyan, for help, made cupping-glass and gave him milk with honey, but it didn't help. 

The temperature was 39, then 40 and 40,5. I went to the doctor in Lyubashiv. It was an old , experienced doctor, he was 76 years old. He dressed a warm  sheepskin coat and went with us. When the doctor inspected my so, examined his chest , nodded and said: «He has pneumonia-inflammation of the lungs with congestion. His state of the health is very dangerous, you should  hope for God.  I have done everything possible, have given him milk with honey to drink.»  The doctor explained us that Slavko had caught cold because of having measles before it. 

Slavko felt asleep and temperature began decrease, and it was 38 in the morning, he became cheerful and had a snack. Temperature was decreasing.  I felt something bad in my bones and invited deacon Nykon Naumovych and church warden Hnat  with his wife. At 5 oclock p.m. the temperature was 35. He was ill, his eyes were closed. At 9 p.m. the temperature was 35 and pulse was remiss.  I asked the deacon to check it, because I was very nervous and wasn't able to recognize it. The deacon didn't hear it, too. 

I wrapped up Slavko in my sheepskin coat, carried him but the breathing wasn't heard. I laid him down, his eyes were closed. Somebody said me to be quiet, because he was dying. I took a candle into his arms, the second one put near icons. I told my wife to go to the church and pray in front of Mother of God. I stayed near our son. She went to the church with church warden at midnight. Slavko had no features of life. It continued till 5 a.m. Suddenly I saw pulsating artery on his neck. He was alive. Nearly 6 o'clock he opened his eyes and whispered «father». We gave him some milk with honey, then some tea. Later, he had good appetite, put on weight and run till summer.»
