#ankarna

[bodaciousbasil]

If history repeats this will get no love but my WIP will continue to be rather popular but what are you gonna do? Aaaaanyways, here’s a finished Ankarna. I’m thinking that the harvesty crown might be better for an autumn deity but Brennan did she she was the goddess of Summer, justice AND harvest so there it is.

"I worship a nameless god of Rage"

I don't really know if I like this but I've invested too much time to not post so...

[Image Description:

Fanart of the character Buddy Dawn from the webshow Dimension 20 Fantasy High: Junior Year. On a swirling red background, Buddy has his eyes closed with the corners of his mouth ticking up in an almost smile. He is shirtless with a large sharp red star, burning red, protruding from his chest. The top spike impales his throat, where it had been slit by Kipperlilly, and the blood from his neck has trickled down the shard to drip into his hand below. Dark veins stretch across his skin. Helio has no mark on him anymore, instead his flesh and blood belongs to Ankarna.]

Oh my gosh Beardsley that was SO SMART to figure out the people whose blood crystallizes are the people who TURN DOWN being brought back to worship Ankarna god DAMN

lucy and yolanda refusing to come back driven by rage. a cleric who gave up her god to reach better, a teenager girl who wasn’t willing to give up the comfort we give each other on a cold night for conquest and fury, even if it meant they would both live again

Conspiracy board # whatever because I do so many of these:

Ok so I don’t think Jace died in the mountains of chaos. I think he died way before all of this, and possibly before the bad kids and rat grinders were in school. Jace chose The Rat Grinders to go to the mountains of chaos because he knew of Kipperlily’s rage and knew she could be manipulated. The rest of her party was just a bonus. That does make me feel a bit bad for the Rat Grinders because they were taken advantage of by an adult they were supposed to trust. However, I don’t think it was just Jace alone.

We know at the end of freshman year/beginning of sophomore year season Ragh saw Kalina talk to Jace and Porter. These are the names Kalina couldn’t say. Thus Porter is likely involved in this plot and may have helped kill The Rat Grinders. When were they killed though? This is where my theory goes off the rails.

My personal theory, which is me over thinking past interactions, is sometime before the beginning of freshman year. In episode 3 of freshman year Jace says “ I gotta be straight with you about that. I don't know why you talk that way. I'm trying to make a bridge between you and me. We're coworkers. I'd like to get along, you know? You're not required to be my friend, but, like, a little cordiality, man. Like, spoonful of sugar. Help me out, man. I'm here trying to make something happen.” to Porter. Back then it was just hey we teach together we should at least get along. Now I’m wondering if it’s anything more than that, especially with this new information.

This makes so much sense why Kipperlilly was asking about how Kristen made Yes! And specifically Where she made Yes! at.

Kristen made a whole new Deity through Arthur Augfort's office and school. As a powerful cleric she reached into the Astral Plane and made life out of her questioning and worship. She temporarily had access to the realm of dead gods to make something from nothing. This was all set in the making from day one.

Jace was working with Kalina and Arianwen to revive The Nightmare King and The Rage Goddess. That's what Ragh saw in front of the office after Prompocolypse. They used Kalvaxis wanting to regain his power as a bigger play to bring back their corrupted and dead deities. A chess piece in a series of steps.

While Kalina was going to bring back The Nightmare King, Jace would work on bringing back The Rage Goddess through Elmville. Kristen already proved that Augefort Academy has access to the Astral Plane. He found and targeted students susceptible to rage, took them to the Mountains of Chaos where the Divine Wedding took place and force the students to make a choice: live for Rage or stay dead.

The Rat Grinders made that choice except for Lucy. Which is a problem because the Need a Cleric. The people the Rat Grinders killed from the school have been Clerics, because with Kristen's method you need a powerful connection to a Deity and Worship to bring life to one.

Lucy worshiped a Giant Goddess, she would have been perfect but she refused.

Yolanda gave up any affiliation to a specific deity, neutral but powerful in worship. She would be a worthy vessel but she refused.

Buddy was brought to always be killed. A follower of Helio, the son of Sol who had corrupted the Goddesses in the first place. He is the grandson of a powerful Cleric, and has that same connection and power within himself. Kipperlilly didn't kill Buddy in panic, that was the plan all along: bypass Obliviti Mori by killing a cleric to meet the Rage Goddess in the Astral Plane, then revive them to spread the word and start the ritual. Buddy was just the first one to accept.

Like in Sylvaire, they are seeding Rage to make their own version of the Nightmare Forest to bring back The Rage Goddess. It's going to bloom and spread, rake over Elmville and the Augefort Academy where the Astral Connection is.

These plans have been started since Freshman Year, and have been defeated all because on goblin was just trying to find his babysitter and another halfling just couldn't handle that.

[caffeinatednecromancer]

Oh my gosh, yes, this is perfect. Kristen met Helio with doubt in her heart and she turned away towards the goddess of doubt. Buddy met Helio with conviction in his heart and turned away towards the goddess of conviction. *chef's kiss* love that.

and then what are we gonna do when we get the portrait for purified ankarna and it looks just like freshman year fig

[d20brainrot]

oh, so cassandra stuck to their values, didn't change and their followers tried to erase them so she was corrupted anyway while her wife did change because of her followers but died anyway? cool.

[the-littlest-laney]

giant infernal goddess of justice, summer, and harvest rage, fire and conquest: ankarna

[halcyon-autumn]

I've seen a lot of posts talking about Gallicea and Cassandra as siblings, but not many talking about that fact that Sol is cannonically Cassandra's brother. I can't stop thinking about Sol - her big brother who let Cassandra's own followers betray her and never tried to help. He officiated Cassandra's marriage and then swallowed up her wife's domain. Even now, his followers are menacing her single remaining cleric, trying to get her kicked out of school and convert her - which, by the way, would kill Cassandra. I hope Fantasy High Senior year is just "we're level 20 and we're hunting Sol for sport."

the love you can't even name

Kipperlilly comes back to herself, screaming.

Jace Stardiamond is kneeling, staring at her with a smile. “Welcome back, Kipperlilly,” he says with ease, sititng back.

Kipperlilly look around, at her other party members. At Oisin, whose claws dig deep into Ivy’s arm, Mary-Ann is chucking rocks away from her and Ruben is tuning his guitar.

“Where’s Lucy?” Kipperlilly demands, her brain flooded with information of who and what she now worships. Their Lady, nameless and unneeding of one, who has brought them back to fulfill her will upon the earth; to worship Her as they would any other God.

“Next to you,” Stardiamond says, and gestures to Lucy Lucy Lucy, her eyes closed and one hand stretched as if to touch Kipperlilly’s dead body. As if to hold her.

“What’re you waiting for?” She snaps at Stardiamond, scrambling to pull Lucy closer. “Bring her back, too.”

“Patience, Copperkettle,” Stardiamond says sharply, and Ruben stiffens from behind him. Kipperlilly files that away, and adjusts Lucy so she’s comfortable in her lap, head leaning against her shoulder and cold hands clasped in Kipperlilly’s.

She doesn’t beg adults. But she comes close.

“Please.” She says, and Stardiamond leans over, one hand pressed against Lucy’s sternum. He closes his eyes, chants something, and Kipperlilly watches as color returns, pulse quickens, and then Lucy jerks forward, and then screams a guttural scream.

Kipperlilly moves with her, already planning on how to make her feel better before Lucy falls again. Her skin is cold, color gone, and Kipperlilly checks her pulse again.

Nothing. Stardiamond frowns, and then presses his hand against Lucy’s forehead. Closes his eyes, and whispers something in an ancient language that seems to hold power. Invokes a name that is erased from Kipperlilly’s mind as soon as it is spoken.

Lucy’s body jerks but no color returns. No heart beats. Nothing. Kipperlilly can’t lose her. She can’t lose her.

She can’t lose Lucy.

She can’t lose the one person always on her side.

She can’t lose date nights and sweet kisses, lunch dates where they’d pick what the other was eating. Study dates where Lucy would help Kipperlilly with her class and she’d help Lucy hide.

She can’t lose picnic dates in the forest, and the bone deep relief when Lucy’s magic washes over her. The look when she’d revive the rats they’d killed earlier, and how she’d shoo them off everytime.The smiles that follow wherever Lucy goes, the kindness that Lucy had despite her not being happy.

The morbid talks of death, how Lucy listened to Kipperlilly’s anger of those idiot Bad Kids. How she agreed with her, and gave points to Kipperlilly’s. How warm she felt when she pressed closer to Lucy.

She can’t lose how Lucy used to throw rocks at her window and make silly fades when she didn’t think anyone was looking. She can’t lose the wrinkled nose Lucy made whenever they brought her ice cream, and the way she’d almost glow in the dark of a room.

She can’t lose the soft smile that sits on Lucy’s face.

Kipperlilly can’t lose her. She can’t lose the one person who is always on her side.

She moves Lucy onto the ground.

“Come on, Lucy,” she begs. One of her hands cradle the back of Lucy’s head, so when she does come back she won’t hit her head against the rock floor, while the other cups Lucy’s cheek, checks her eyelids, checks her unbeating pulse. “You need to come back to me.”

Stardiamond and is staring at her with blank eyes. Like he’s done this before, or like he’s seen this beforehand. Kipperlilly cries, and cries and begs him to do it again, again, again.

He does. Over and over and over again, until the mark is burned so deep onto Lucy’s body, seared so deep into flesh that Kipperlilly thinks it sits right onto her own bones.

“That’s enough,” Oisin says, the wounds in Ivy’s arms already scabbing over.

“It’s enough when I say it’s enough,” Kipperlilly snarls, teeth bared as Ivy steps forward, ready to defend Oisin.

“Let her keep trying.” Ruben says, his voice filled with something Kipperlilly can’t place, and smirking despite the hurt in his eyes. “She won’t come back.”

“Shut up!” Kipperlilly shrikes.

“He’s right,” Mary Ann says, and Stardiamond sighs and flicks his hand at her party members.

“Go outside and wait,” he orders. “Once we’re done here we’ll see about getting you a new cleric.”

Oisin and Ivy look at each other. Ruben is looking away, lips tight while Mary-Ann doesn’t even look phased. But they obey the order, and Kipperlilly watches with bated breath as they leave.

As soon as the footsteps fade, Kipperlilly slumps. Her tears have splattered around Lucy’s face and it almost looks like Lucy is the one crying. She wipes them away, and looks up at the teacher who is supposed to guide them.

“But why?” Kipperlilly croaked. “Why won’t she come back?”

Stardiamond shrugs. “She doesn’t want to,” he says. “Maybe if you were stronger, like the Bad Kids. Or if you were sadder, like Riz Gukgak, she would’ve felt bad enough to come back.”

“What do they have to do with us?” Kipperlilly snaps, already feeling her incredibly short temper fray even more.

Stardiamond smiles, wicked. “Everything.” He says. “They have everything to do with this. If they were here, they could’ve taken this mission on. But who knows. If we kill them, maybe She could bring Lucy back.”

Kipperlilly pauses, a hand resting on Lucy’s chest. Searching for a familiar thump-thump-thump that she used to fall asleep to.

“Are they the ones stopping you?” She whispers.

The crystals that rise from the ground makes a hum, an agreement. Kipperlilly stares at them, then at Stardiamond who raises both hands. “She wants a deal,” he says.

(He doesn’t say Our Lady. Not like how Kipperlilly’s mouth forces it. He says she. Her mind whirls, ten steps faster than she is.)

“Then let’s make a deal,” Kipperlilly says, one hand covering Lucy’s.

Stardiamond laughs. “Smile, Kipperlilly,” Her Lady says. “You got what you wanted.”

[pantheonfixations]

I only just realized, Buddy said ‘a Nameless God of Rage’

Not only did the Bad Kids beat them to resurrecting Ankarna, even with Obligati Mori broken they still can’t figure out her name?? And she hasn’t given them something to call her????

Dunno if that’s actually important but I think its Hilarious
