the tip of his cock ran between your folds nudging your achy clit. he refused to go in a punishment for being 'ill behaved' in reality it was out of cruelty you'd done nothing he just got off on watching you babble hopelessly. "Jamie please-" you repeat, though barely coherent.
"hm? please please Jamie please" he mocks you as your legs shake. "please what baby?"
you begin to cry as you cum your stomach wound tightly into a coil that finally snapped. "wait wait-" you babble trying to pause the painful high that came with.
James stopped and you thought maybe he was going to go easy on you. maybe your pleads for a break were heard. the calm was short lived as the head of his cock probed your achingly empty hole. a soft whimper of pleasure falls from your lips as he pushes in to your soaked pussy
"there you go baby biiiiig stretch." he softly coo's at you, he really could be sweet even when he was mean.

The Scarlet Pirate - Chapter 6
This is the finale to a six-part "Chapter Story" for my OC for Twisted Wonderland, James Killian - based on Captain Hook from Disney's Peter Pan. (Also featured are Smitty McCarthy, based on Smee, and Matthew Satyr, based on Peter himself...oh, and Nakoda - my Kaa OC - also has a role here.) The basic premise of this story has been in my mind for almost as long as James has, but for numerous reasons, it wasn't till just within the past few weeks I finally got a chance to develop and write it out.
The result is, I think, the single longest "Chapter Story" for any of my OCs for TW I've created so far. Take that information however you will. So long as this tale, that it went from a planned three-parter, to a planned five-parter, to now being a six-parter, standing at approximately 150 pages in total! Hopefully, all the work and length will be for the best. XD
As is typical for my Chapter Stories, I have been posting this one chapter at a time per day over the course of this past week. You can find the previous chapter here.
If you wish to start from the beginning, you can find the first chapter here.
WARNING: While this story, throughout all six parts, does not FOCUS on my kinks, there are instances of very mild stuffing/belching related content sprinkled throughout, as well as various instances of implied or near vore situations. If you're into these things, good on ya. If you aren't, just be warned they will show up here and there, although not with any degree of spectacle.
With that said...I hope you enjoy.
----------------------------------------------------------
The skull-and-crossbones on the gauntlet flashed…and then it came again. The depression. The oppressive negativity. Sorrow and guilt, fear and pain, anger of the most hopeless sort…all of it flooded your mind. Hunger, cold, and darkness swarmed your mind, and you felt as if an anchor had been dropped upon you. All at once, you and your fellow students fell to the cavern floor, all crying out in the same tone at the same time: one of abrupt, gut-wrenching despair. Nakoda rolled onto his back, holding onto his belly, gasping and wheezing as if his gut was being compressed by some external force. Sebek was in a similar state, grinding his molars and curling up from pain. Azul was once again covering his ears, as if trying to drown out voices inside his own head. Matthew collapsed in front of you, directly beside Smitty, each clutching their chests, as if their hearts or lungs were in pain. Kes desperately buzzed her wings, trying to keep herself aloft, but as James began to walk closer, the waves of dark power that seemed to surround him overtook her, and she fell from the sky. “K-Kes!” Matthew gasped between harsh, ragged breaths, and caught her in his hands. “Wretched fairy,” snorted James, looking down as if the pixie were a vulgar insect. “James…James, p-please stop this!” Smitty begged. “How…how is this even…h-happening?” groaned Azul. “None of us t-touched him again!” meowed Grim. You couldn’t answer; it felt as if your tongue had gone numb. But you knew what had happened. Overblot always did this: everyone in Jamil’s vicinity had been put under his spell. Azul had easily begun to drain people’s powers. Leona had nearly turned the whole campus to sand. James no longer NEEDED to touch anyone; the magic was just POURING out of him at this point, and with it came the weight of Doubt & Despair. “Look at you all,” James grinned cruelly, pausing and lifting his clawed hand, flexing his fingers. As he did, you saw Nakoda start to writhe, as if every motion of that hand was creating lashings of new distress. “And I thought seeing you drop before me in the treasure room was pleasure enough. No…this. THIS is what I’ve LONGED for. What I’ve truly waited years to see! Everyone…at me feet…without a hope. Without a prayer. Dying of broken hearts and bad dreams!” A sadistic, unhinged laugh left James, jangling in your eardrums like nails on a chalkboard. As he cackled, Matthew held Kes to his face; she seemed weak. Frail. Her golden pixie light began to flicker. “No, Kes! N-No, please…please don’t go out!” he pleaded. “Oh, dear, dear,” tutted James Killian mockingly, noticing this, a wicked glint in his red eye. “Is somebody’s little pixie unable to take the weight of it all? Such a shame…” “James…you…c-can’t…!” “SHUT UP, YOU TRAITOR!” shrieked James, rounding on Smitty McCarthy. “I AM THE CAPTAIN HERE! I AM IN CHARGE! FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE, I HAVE EVERYTHING I COULD EVER ASK FOR!”
He froze…then grinned and looked towards the rock where the treasure chest still sat. “Well,” he snickered. “Almost everything.” James started to walk towards it…then stopped as he felt a hand grip his boot. He looked down and back, a repulsed look once more curling his features grotesquely as he saw Matthew Satyr holding onto his boot with one hand. “Leave them…alone…y-you stinking codfish,” he hoarsely rasped. James growled…and kicked the arm away. “You think I’ll take orders from you?!” he shouted at the top of his lungs. “YOU HAVE NO POWER HERE ANYMORE, SATYR!” James suddenly reached down, his gauntlet hooks snatching up Satyr by the front of his costume. Matthew’s hands loosened around Kes, and her little, limp form fell to the floor. Her wings twitched and she went still. Killian, meanwhile, dragged Matthew over to one of the stone walls, slamming his back into it. “I AM YOUR WEAKNESS! JUST AS YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN MINE!” James roared into his face. “EVERY TIME YOU FALL! EVERY TIME YOU STUMBLE!” James Killian reached back with his un-hooked hand and began to punch Matthew repeatedly in the diaphragm. “I! WILL! BE! THERE!” James then tossed Matthew aside. Tears were in the half-fairy’s eyes. He started to crawl away. James let out a psychotic sort of giggle. “Oh-ho-ho-ho, no. No, no, no, you don’t get to fight it!” he grinned, with madness in his eyes. “LIE DOWN AND LOSE! JUST THIS ONCE! DAMNATION, LOSE!” James kicked Matthew, who cried out in pain. He then looked up, and grinned viciously, seeing his sword, still stuck in the rock at the top of the stone tower. He looked down, leaning close and patting Satyr’s cheek. “Wallow in misery for a second,” he said, softly. “I’ll be back in just a moment.”
As James began to ascend the tower, it was all too clear what he had in mind. A surge of light burst inside of you: this couldn’t happen! He wasn’t going to give up, but you had to stop him! Your eyes looked towards Kes. You bit your lip and began to crawl along the cave floor towards the fallen fairy. It was a slim hope, a slender chance…but you had to try. And that determination helped you crawl a little faster. “Prefect…ssstop,” you heard Nakoda hiss behind you. “Don’t…he might…might…see,” Smitty whimpered. You ignored them both. If James Killian was focused on Satyr, nothing would tear him away. You had to rely on that belief. You had to pray that you weren’t miscalculating. You had to stay focused. You had to believe. Your belief was answered. James Killian pulled his sword out of the stone, without ever noticing. As he did, the rapier-like blade changed in his hand, transforming into a cutlass, with a skull-shaped hilt, and ink staining its blade like black blood. He strolled back down the slope towards Matthew Satyr, who was shaking his head, as if trying to dispel bad memories. James paused, cocking his head with a smug look, as if taking in the despair…drinking in the moment… “How does it feel, Satyr?” he asked, calmly. “I didn’t get a chance to ask in the pit. What is it like? What feelings are filling your heart? What unhappy thoughts are weighing you down?” “Sh-shut up,” Satyr spat. “Let me guess,” James went on, inspecting his blade. “Loneliness, perhaps? The recognition that, for all your brass, you’re still an abandoned child, not wanted by fairy or human alike? Perhaps the disbelief that I’ve finally beaten you? Or perhaps the realization I was always destined to win to begin with?” “I s-said shut up!” Satyr responded, looking up with teary but indignant eyes. “HA HA HA!” James laughed uproariously. “Is that all you have to say?! Odds, bobs, hammer, and tongs, Satyr! YOU’RE PATHETIC LIKE THIS!”
With a beastly growl, James kicked Matthew again, and sent him rolling across the stone floor. You tried to ignore the scene as you were now just about arm’s length from Kes. You reached out; her little pixie eyes flickered as she looked up at you, her tiny chest heaving as she tried to breathe, to fight the negativity that threatened to put out her light. “Reach for me,” you whispered. “Trust me. Have faith.” Kes looked confused…but she seemed to believe you. Her little hand reached out, shakily, her miniature fingers just brushing yours… “I need you,” you whispered to her. “Matthew needs you. We all need what you can give us…and you know what that is, don’t you?” Kes’ wings twitched…suddenly, the light began to strengthen. You smiled, and felt the light in your own heart intensify… “Come on…we can do it. Together. If you believe in me…I’ll believe in you.” “What are you d-doing?” you heard Smitty whine out. “Using the one thing that James can’t extinguish,” you said, and began to hold yourself up on your hands and knees. “I just…need…time…!” Time was not something you had an abundance of. Matthew Satyr tried to pull himself to his feet, but James pounded his iron-clad hand down in a hammering blow, knocking him down again. “STAY THERE! Let me see it…let me see you weep, Satyr!” he spat. “Let the tears flow, like they did before! LET ME WIN AND DIE!” “You…you don’t…h-have to…do this…James, you’re…you’re not going to…survive this!” Matthew sputtered out, clutching the bruised parts of his body. “I’LL TAKE THAT CHANCE IF IT MEANS BEATING YOU!” screamed James. He raised the cutlass above his head. “SAY YER PRAYERS, MATTHEW SATYR!” “YOU FIRST, YOU OLD CODFISH!”
James Killian froze up, and turned to see who had spoken. He was astonished when he saw you standing, with Kes sitting in the palm of your hand, while all the rest remained on the ground. “Y-You?!” gasped James. “Prefect?” peeped Matthew…and slowly started to smile despite the pain. “K-Kes?!” “How are you up and about?!” roared James, pointing his sword at you. “YOU SHOULD BE PROSTRATING YOURSELF, CRYING FOR YOUR MUMMY AND DADDY!” “I haven’t cried for them in a very long time,” you said, gravely serious, then smiled. “I have a lot of bad stuff in my life. We all do. Everyone in this room has experienced terrible things, even DONE terrible things. I’ve lost people I cared about. But I’ve also gained friends, even a new family, and experiences people back in my world could only dream of. For all the reasons I could have to despair, there’s one thing I’ve learned since I came to this world.” “And what is that, pray tell?” snarled James Killian, scraping the edge of his sword and the claws of his gauntlet together threateningly. You just smiled wider. “There are three things in life that are certain,” you reminded him. “And it wasn’t what you said. Remember?” “If you’re about to sssay what I think you’re about to sssay,” you heard Nakoda mutter. “I ssswear to Chernabog I’m eating you…” “Seconded,” Azul grumbled. Sebek just groaned. You giggled at all their reactions, even as James took up a dueling stance, sword poised, claws held high. “I don’t think any of you have any place to argue,” you said, and looked towards James Killian as he began to inch towards you, eyes wild, like an animal ready to pounce. “Don’t you see, James? You’ll NEVER win! Not so long as there is Faith…Trust…and…” “Seriously, don’t say it,” moaned Grim, covering his ears. You said it anyway. “PIXIE DUST!”
Kes spun around you, sending a shower of golden, glittering dust onto your head and shoulders. James roared like a feral animal and plunged forward, ready to run you through with his blade… …And missed as you flew into the air, clean over his head. Every drop of despair and dismay fell away from you as you lifted towards the ceiling of the cave…then came swooping down, flying just above the surface of the lake. You caught some water in your hand and splashed it in the pirate’s face as you flew like a bird, getting behind him. You bowed tauntingly in mid-air, James eye twitching as his teeth gnashed. “No! NO!” he wailed, and ran at you, swinging his weapon wildly about. “I WON! I! WON! YOU CAN’T BE FLYING, TOO! NOT NOW! YOU CAN’T!” “Mere child’s play!” you teased, zipping away and flying out of the path of his weapon. Sparks flew as it scratched the stone wall. James hissed like a rattlesnake and whirled about, raking his hooked claws through the air to try and catch you, but you flew higher and further out of range. “GIVE UP ALREADY!” James yelled. “You first!” you mocked. Cursing in a wild, over-the-top fashion, James held out his iron hand. The red skull flashed again, and you could see a plume of dark mist come flying towards you. You dodged the wave of negative energy, flying in circles, racing out of the path of every shot of power. “DOUBT AND DESPAIR! DOUBT AND DESPAIR!” James howled, sounding very much like a toddler throwing a tantrum. “LET ME WIN! JUST LET ME WIN! JUST ONCE! I WANNA WIN!” You sighed and shook your head as you flew down and hovered near the ground. “Oh, James,” you said, sadly, then injected venom into your words. “Grow up.”
James Killian all but pounced towards you, sword and claws raised alike, as if he meant to cut you to ribbons. You flew out of the way just in time, and he crashed into the stone wall behind you. Hard. The instant he did, the wave of dreadful power that was overwhelming the others seemed. Cautiously, everyone began to climb onto their hands and feet…but James Killian was doing the same. He grunted and gasped, his clawed hand reaching up and slapping onto the stone wall… …Then, iron screeched against stone as James Killian let out a despairing, sorrowful moan…and finally collapsed, the Overblot effectively beaten out of him as unconsciousness overtook him. It was over. You touched down with a sigh, as you felt all the energy - positive and negative - fall away. Both spells had run their course. Kes zipped over to you and you smiled, holding up a hand as her own miniature mitt gave you a high-five. “Great work,” you said to the pixie. “I knew I could count on you.” “That might have been the corniest win I’ve seen in my life,” Azul’s voice spoke up, as he staggered to his feet, fixing his glasses. “But…I must admit, it seemed effective.” “Kes! You’re okay!” cheered Matthew, and flew over, weightless once more. The pixie flew into his hands and he smiled at her as she perched there like a little bird. “I’m so glad you’re safe…you stopped him! You saved us!” “Correction,” Sebek spoke up, rubbing his chest where his heart was, as it still felt a lingering heaviness from the fatal fury of James’ power. “A fellow student of Night Raven College has saved us. Your pixie helped, though. Proof that humans are not totally useless when aided by fairykind, I’d say!” “When I decide whether or not I should be insulted, I’ll respond to that,” you said to Zigvolt snidely. “Nya…what even happened?” Grim asked, staggering a little, as if dizzy. “It wasn’t a miracle, I promise you,” you chuckled, scratching behind his ears, then explained: “When James went into Overblot, and used his power on all of us at once, I somehow found it in me to realize that I couldn’t let him win. And in that moment, I realized something else: Matthew’s power was still working on us at the time. None of us were USING it, but it hadn’t worn off. I could still feel the light, still feel the happy thoughts; I just had to focus on them and replenish the pixie dust.” “Ssso it wasn’t AS cheesy as it ssseemed; jussst a matter of magical logic,” chuckled Nakoda. “I sssuppose I can avoid eating you for that. Thisss time.” “But how did you know that would work?” Matthew blinked. “Even I didn’t realize it!”
“You were being kicked around like a football,” you replied blandly. “I’ll forgive you for the oversight.” Satyr blushed, and you heard Grim snigger. Kes giggled, a sound like a music box, in the half-fairy’s hands. “I just had to have faith and trust to use Faith and Trust,” you shrugged, then gestured to your Night Raven associates. “If any of these guys are gonna kill me someday, it’s not gonna be from the mother of all depressive funks, I’ll tell you that much.” “I think we’ll have to remember that,” Azul said slyly, while Nakoda licked his lips and nodded in agreement. You blushed. The conversation was halted when all of you heard a familiar voice… “James! J-James, get up!” You all looked to see Smitty McCarthy, kneeling beside his friend, worry upon his face. James Killian was still in his Overblot form as the smaller man rolled him onto his back. However, as he was laying there totally unmoving, it was clear he posed little immediate threat. “James…James, please wake up,” whimpered Smitty, checking the pirate’s head. “I’m…I’m sorry, I…please…” “Relax, Smitty,” you called out, as your friends and allies approached the scene. “He’ll be okay. He’s just out cold.” “And I’m gonna guess not for long,” added Grim. “Nope,” you said with a shake of your head, and pointed to the white mist that was already starting to pool around Killian’s extremities. “Not long at all.” Smitty squeaked and jolted back; you caught him to prevent him from clumsily falling over. This was in reaction to James’ whole body shining like a pure white beacon, glowing like a star, as more and more silvery-white mist floated from his form. The mist gathered a few feet over your heads, creating an oblong, elliptical shape, like a mirror or a window. You all knew by now that meant. (Well, most of you did, anyway.) You watched as shapes formed in the center of the misty cloud, creating visions of days gone by. It was time to take a peek into the past…
“Come on, James! You have to do better than that!”
James Killian was younger. Smaller. Slighter. He was also much less flashy. Dressed more conservatively, almost shabbily, in the kind of outfit a humble sailor’s son might wear. His hair was shorter, and his expression slightly nervous. He was almost unrecognizable as the Killian of the Present. Two things were still visibly the same: the tattoo of a hook upon the back of his left hand…and the deft way he handled the rapier-like sword in his hand. Not deft enough, though, for his opponent, with a sudden, almost whip-like motion, knocked the fencing weapon from his grasp. It was sent spinning into the air…before being caught by said opponent. They didn’t have far to travel to catch it. After all. They were already airborne. Matthew Satyr grinned cheekily down at James Killian, as he held the hilt of the rapier out, his own weapon - a shorter sort of sword - held in his other hand. The half-fairy had not visibly aged or changed a bit.
“My game, James.”
James blushed and carefully took the sword. “It’s not fair,” he whined. “You always fly out of the way!”
“Hey, our instructor says use everything you can to your advantage,” shrugged Matthew, sheathing his sword blade and giving a teasing wink. “Can’t blame me for using my power, can ya? It doesn’t even generate blot!”
“You guys with light magic have it easy,” sighed James, then smiled. “Good form, though.” He held out his right hand. Satyr floated a little closer to the ground…and smiled before shaking that right hand. “You weren’t too bad yourself,” Matthew grinned. James smiled a little wider. His expression was bashful; his head dipped slightly. “Thanks,” he chuckled.
Matthew smiled back, his own grin widening as he gave James’ hand a light squeeze. Then both realized how long they’d been holding on and quickly broke away with a couple of awkward laughs.
“You’re gonna be more than ready when the contest comes up,” Matthew assured his friend, wiping his hand absent-mindedly on his dark green vest.
“Not as ready as you,” chuckled James. “I’m gonna need a miracle if we fight together.”
“Hey, you’ve beat me a few times!” Satyr replied, flying around James to his other side and placing a hand upon his shoulder. “I mean, I’ve beat you way more, buuut that’s just because I happen to be awesome.”
“Well, you aren’t very bashful,” smirked James, brushing the hand off his shoulder. “Got no reason to be,” Satyr giggled. “I’m half-fairy, I can fly, I’m super good with a sword, and everybody loves me! What do you expect me to do, lie?”
Before James could answer, two new voices broke onto the scene.
“HELLO, MATTHEW!” they called out at the same time.
The pair turned around to see the source of the twin call. Two young ladies - one a blonde with fair skin, the other a brunette with copper tones - came running towards the duo. Or, more accurately, they came running towards Matthew Satyr, not even seeming to notice James Killian.
“Hi, Gwen! Leela!” greeted Matthew, waving happily. “We’ve been looking for you everywhere!” Gwen (the blonde) called out, with an embarrassed sort of look. “We thought you might be avoiding us.”
“Of course not!” said Matthew with a laugh, and flew over to the pair, gesturing back towards James. “I was just helping James practice for the contest coming up soon.”“Oh, Matthew, you’re always so helpful!” sighed Leela (the brunette), dreamily. She didn’t even look towards James, and neither did Gwen. “That’s why we came to find you!” “Oh?” blinked Satyr, cocking his head curiously.
“We were hoping you could join us for a study session,” Leela elaborated, while Gwen nodded in agreement. The two were nudging against each other, as if each young lady was trying to be at the forefront of Matthew’s vision, the center of his attention.
Matthew looked between the two. He seemed confused. “Well…I’d be happy to help, girls, but you know schoolwork isn’t my strong suit,” he chuckled nervously. Then his expression lit up, and he jabbed a thumb towards James. “Hey, maybe my friend can help you! James is super good with school stuff!”
James smiled, perking up a bit; he’d been looking rather dour and dejected this whole time…but his smile fell when, once again, the two ladies never even turned his way. “Ah, but it’s YOU we want to study with!” insisted Gwen, and smiled in a sneaky, flirtatious sort of way. “Maybe we can help each other.”
“Well, if you’re sure,” Matthew said, with a slightly uncertain sort of laugh. He didn’t seem to even remotely notice the almost vixen-like smirks on each girl’s faces, or at least, didn’t grasp what they meant. He then turned back towards James. “I’ll catch ya later, James! See you at the dueling competition, if nothing else! Stay safe, pal!” Matthew Satyr then flew off, with Gwen and Leela running fast to catch up behind him. He laughed, teasing them to go faster, while they giggled and chattered, bumping into each other, racing to see who could get closest to the half-fairy. James Killian watched them go, his expression hollow and sad. Silently, he sheathed his still-undone rapier and walked away.
The scene shifted to sometime later. James Killian was now sitting on a balcony, at the top of a great and mighty-looking clock tower. The tower stood high above a seaport town, and the Sun was setting on the horizon, coloring the ocean waters in gold and pinkish hues. “You shouldn’t let it get to you,” said a voice at his side. The younger, less spiffy James turned and smiled somewhat sadly. Smitty McCarthy sat beside him; each of them held a popsicle in one hand, as they sat high over the city.
“They never even noticed me, Smitty,” James said, softly. “Not once. It was like I wasn’t there. Like I was invisible.”
“I thought you didn’t even like Gwen and Leela,” Smitty said, between slurps of his popsicle.
“I don’t,” shrugged James, and gazed off towards the horizon once more. “But it isn’t just them. It’s…everyone. I don’t understand. I study hard, don’t I? I have better grades, I always do my work on time, and I have more practical knowledge than that silly boy will ever have. But because he can fly and is oh-so-sociable, everybody notices him.”
Smitty narrowed his eyes. “James,” he said, quietly. “Are you…angry with him?”
James blinked at Smitty. He looked surprised. “Angry?” he said, and chuckled. “Why would I be angry? No, no…I…I’m not…angry, Smitty.” He looked at the slowly-melting popsicle in his hand as if it were a magical mirror. “But I am…jealous, I’ll admit,” he murmured. “I wish…I wish more people would look at me, the way they look at him. I wish I could get that praise. I wish I could have that recognition. I wish someone would CARE about me the way they always seem to care about what he does, what he says.” Smitty looked hurt for a moment…then scooted closer. “I do,” was all he said. James looked at his friend again. He smiled gratefully. “Then know that you may be alone,” was all he said. “I don’t care if I am,” said Smitty with a smile. “You’re my best friend, James. You mean more to me than anybody else, Matthew included. I mean…it IS kinda cool how he can fly and do all the stuff he does, but…you’re just as good a swordsman, you’re way smarter, and you’ve helped me out a lot. That’s why I want YOU as my captain someday.”
James smiled wider, and slurped on his popsicle thoughtlessly. “Well, we can only hope that day will come soon.” “Oh, I think it’s gonna be closer than you think,” Smitty said slyly. James frowned and raised an eyebrow. Smitty reached into the pocket of his coat and held out an envelope. “Some of your mail got mixed up with mine,” he explained. “Figured you’d want this.” James slung himself off the balcony edge, naturally onto the solid floor towards the back. Smitty did the same, leaning against the railing as he watched James step away and open the envelope. Killian scanned the message inside…and his eyes widened, his jaw dropping in amazement.
“This…this is…!” “You got accepted!” cheered Smitty. “I knew it the moment I saw! James, the Naval Academy wants you to join!” James laughed, disbelieving, running his hands through his hair. “I…I…Smitty, I don’t know what to say! I’ve been waiting for this for ages!” “I know!” grinned Smitty. “Just think! You’ll be able to go to sea, you’ll be able to study a-and start moving up in the ranks! Our dream is coming true, James!” James beamed from ear to ear, looking up at the sky. He clutched the message to his heart. He couldn’t believe his luck. Already he could imagine being at the helm of his ship…then he frowned and looked towards his friend. “But…what about you?” “Ah, don’t worry about me. I’ll get by till the time comes,” shrugged Smitty. “All you’ve gotta do is keep going the way you’re going, and we’ll both be closer to what we always wanted.” James Killian swore he had tears in his eyes. “You’re right. And…and really, what could go wrong now?”
These unintentionally ominous words heralded another scene shift. James and Matthew Satyr were now dressed in dueling uniforms, and seemingly in what looked like a locker room. “You ready for this?” Matthew asked. “You’re not my opponent, so I think so,” joked James. His smile faded when he noticed Matthew looking at a tiny vial of strange fluid, before the half-fae put it in his locker. “What’s that?” James asked. “Huh? Oh!” Matthew grinned. “Just a…little prank I was saving up for my opponent. The guy’s kind of a meanie, so I wanted to teach him a lesson.” James frowned and narrowed his eyes. “After the competition, I trust?” “No, before,” said Matthew. James blinked and tilted his head, very suspicious. “What exactly is it?” “A confusion potion. Makes everything look like it’s reversed in a mirror,” giggled Matthew. “That’s cheating,” James chastised. “Psh. Not if he’s not suffering the effects when we’re fighting,” Matthew scoffed, waving his hand about airily. “I figure it’ll just make him stumble around like an idiot. Maybe bumping into a wall or two will teach him to be less rude.” “What exactly did this person do?” James asked. Matthew paused…then beckoned James over. Curious, his friend approached and peered inside…then his eyes widened. A tiny, golden pixie sat inside the locker. One of her wings was clearly injured. She backed away with a jingling whimper at the sight of James Killian. “It’s okay,” Matthew soothed. “He’s my buddy.” “What’s her name?” James inquired. “Kes,” said Satyr. “The big dummy was treating her like a dragonfly he caught, hurt her wing pretty bad. I saved her and brought here so she could heal in peace.” James nodded and smiled gently. “Don’t be afraid, Kes,” he said, tenderly. “You’re safe around me.” Kes gave a nervous smile back.
The scene shifted once more. James Killian stepped onto the dueling field. This time, no words were uttered, the scene played out visually. Across from him stood a young man, with bangs that hid his eyes, in a dueling uniform. The two adopted their ready positions…but as the fight began, something was clearly wrong. James would lunge, and his enemy would abruptly, blindly swing out, gasping in alarm, as if he hadn’t seen the attempted strike coming till it was too late. He blocked each strike, but only just. He stumbled and staggered, and James had to struggle to keep his own form on the straight and narrow. The turning point came when, suddenly, James flipped off his opponent’s helmet. The young rival was supposed to call out “Touche!” and signal his turn had ended…but something must have gone wrong. Instead, he turned towards the blade, which had been given a point… …And a scream heralded the scene changing again. Now, James Killian was seated with a haunted, worried look outside of an office. Voices were chattering - one was yelling - inside. A few moments passed, then there was silence…before the door opened. Two people - a man and a woman - rushed the young man out, shooting a sour glare at James as they went. Their son’s face was bandaged. A moment later, another man came out, strict and tall in appearance. James looked up fearfully. “Headmaster?” he greeted questioningly. The Headmaster paused and knelt down. “I have good news and I have bad news,” he said. “The good news is that you won’t be penalized for this. No one can prove that you put that confusion potion in Mr. Dippet’s drink, and I don’t think you did.” “Confusion potion?” James repeated, eyes widening. “That’s…that’s what happened?” “He took a VERY large dose,” said the Headmaster, gravely. “He’s lucky something worse didn’t happen, since we were using pointed weapons. Both our school and his will be investigating the matter, but since you never had an opportunity to get anywhere near whatever he drank…” “What’s the bad news?” pressed James. The Headmaster paused again before answering: “I’m sorry, James, but…under the circumstances, you were disqualified. I don’t imagine that’s ESPECIALLY surprising, so I hope you aren’t TOO upset…”
James nodded sorrowfully, turning away. He supposed that made sense; he couldn’t be ranked for a duel he didn’t REALLY win, but it was still disappointing… “...But there’s something much worse.” James looked up in a start. “Worse?” he gulped. The Headmaster nodded. “Not so long ago, you received an acceptance letter from the Naval Academy. Well….I’m sorry to tell you this, James, but…they heard about what happened, and…I guess they smelled something fishy, because…they’ve rescinded their offer. You no longer have acceptance there.” James could only stare. “I know this hurts. That application meant a lot to you. Your father is furious - not with you, with them - but…there’s really nothing we can do. We could try to appeal, but…if they were willing to withdraw just for this…” James remained silent and staring. It was as if he were frozen. “There are other schools, of course. I’d personally suggest Night Raven College: they don’t have anything related to naval work, but…you might be able to find other avenues, and it’s  VERY prestigious school. If the Dark Mirror accepts you, you might have a chance at finding a way to…well.” The Headmaster trailed off. James was still staring at him silently. The man awkwardly stood up. “Ahem. Anyway, that’s…all I have to say, Killian. Given the situation, you are dismissed for the day. If you…want to speak to me about this later, you know my office hours. Good day.” The Headmaster retreated to his room. He never saw the look of absolute, gut-wrenching pain on James’ face as James looked out towards the glass door of the building. Something twisted when James saw a familiar, human-shaped shadow…flying through the air in the distance.
The scene shifted one last time. James Killian stood at the balcony atop the Clock Tower. He was facing away from the horizon. He could feel the clock gears turning, feel the vibrations of the mighty timepiece only yards below his feet. A sword was at his side. He felt, rather than heard, the moment a figure flew to the top of the tower behind him. His feelings were confirmed when an almost timid, bleating utterance of “James?” greeted him. He clenched his teeth, refusing to turn around…then took a deep breath to speak. “You’ve robbed me, Matthew.” Silence. “Why did you do it? Did you think it was funny? Making me look like a filthy, stupid cheat?” Silence. “No. No, YOU envied ME for once, didn’t you? You were afraid that just once, JUST. ONCE. I might win the tournament. And you had that potion right there. It must have been so tempting…” Silence. “I’ve lost my chance at the Academy thanks to you. My dream…Smitty’s dream…you’ve just gone and ruined it. I’ve wanted this all my life, and after all this time…all this time seeing you - hovering over my head, pretending you’re so important and special, and acting like YOU WERE MY FRIEND - you decide it’s time to make sure I can never have what we want most.” Silence. James turned, glaring, eyes misty and bloodshot. “Have you NOTHING to say?” Matthew Satyr’s face was hidden by the shadows. He simply…floated there. Silent. Unmoving. Hovering in stoic, unflinching silence. James felt his blood boiling hot in his veins. His fists clneched tighter and began to shake. “Tell them the truth,” he hissed. “That’s all you have to do. Just tell them what happened.” Matthew remained silent and still. “PLEASE!” James exclaimed, turning around fully. For a moment, the rage left his face. He became pleading. Desperate. “I’ll do anything you say, Matthew! I’ll…I’ll make sure nothing too bad happens! All you have to do is TELL THEM! Just…just tell them, I’m BEGGING you!” The silence and the stillness continued. James felt the tears run down his cheeks. They were very, very hot. He felt the anger flood him again.
“No. No, that’s too difficult, isn’t it?” he sneered. “You can’t tell the truth. You can’t feel guilt. You can’t even tell when people love you! You can’t even understand what it means to be someone’s friend, can you?! You IDIOT! You fly around, feeling like you’re better than anyone else, like you can’t do anything wrong! WELL, IT DOESN’T WORK THAT WAY! WHY WON’T YOU JUST TELL THE TRUTH?! WHY WON’T YOU JUST OWN UP TO YOUR MISTAKES?! WHY CAN’T YOU JUST GROW UP AND BE A MAN?!” Matthew Satyr seemed to flinch…and without a word, without a single other action…he flew away. James Killian reached for his sword…but then sheathed it halfway through. He ran to the balcony, looking around for Matthew, but couldn’t see him anywhere. “SATYR! SATYR, COME BACK HERE!” he shouted, his voice echoing across the harbor and the town. There was no reply. No sign of Satyr. James shuddered. He sobbed…then staggered back and collapsed, crying pitifully. A few seconds later, a small figure poked his head out from the doorway leading onto the balcony. A tragic look was on Smitty McCarthy’s features. He trundled forward, and smiled gently, reaching towards James. “Hey,” he whispered. “Hey, it’s alright. I’m still here, James. I’m-” James swatted Smitty’s hand away. He never noticed the hurt look on his friend’s face. James lifted his head, looking up at the sky. The sky that, even now, so high above the city, he could never touch. He reached out with his left hand, as if to do so… …Then closed it and growled, as the tattoo on his hand flared up with a crimson glow. “I’ll get you for this Satyr,” he hissed with pure hatred. “If it’s the last thing I do.”
Finally, the mist receded…and as the white cloud disappeared, James Killian - in his usual form - was seen laying upon the floor of the cave. The silence that followed was broken when Grim whistled, as if impressed. “Nya…I think that’s the longest explanation we’ve ever gotten,” he said.
You yanked his tail and he yelped. “HEY! What was that for?!” “For once in your flaming life, have some propriety,” you glared sternly. Grim just pouted in response. “Tell me what that word means first,” he mumbled to himself. You could only sigh irritably. “James.” You looked up to see Matthew Satyr had flown over towards the fallen pirate. He knelt down on the opposite side of Smitty, both looking worriedly at the scarlet-coated renegade. Matthew nudged him slightly. “Hey. James. Wake up,” he whispered. Killian groaned but didn’t react. “He must have hit that wall REALLY hard,” grimaced Smitty. Kes zipped over and rang her bells in both of their ears. “No, I’ve got this,” Matthew answered…and tugged on James’ hair. Hard. “YEOWCH!” exploded Killian, and sat up in a flash, clutching the side of his head. “WHAT SUBVERSIVE SAVAGE JUST ATTEMPTED TO SCALP ME?!” Kes giggled while Smitty sighed with relief. “Good as new,” he muttered to himself with a slight chuckle. James glanced about in confusion, as if startled…then his eyes fell on Matthew, who was still kneeling at his side. Satyr smiled in a sort of reassuring manner…which only elicited a growl from James. He looked around and saw his cane-sword - also returned to its usual state - on the ground beside him. He made a move to pick it up only to wince and half-collapse before he could. “Blast it,” he groaned, clutching his head. “Who hit me with the broadside of a galleon…?” “Memo to self: rock walls are very effective,” you chuckled to yourself. “I’m just glad that’s not what I got,” you heard Azul mutter. “Sssame,” shuddered Nakoda.
“James,” Matthew said, catching the attention of all again. “I…I think you and I need to talk.” “Oh, NOW you want to talk?” sneered James Killian, and heaved himself to his feet. “Well, regrettably, I feel the two of us are far beyond having anything worth saying to one another.” Matthew just looked at him. James glared back, then turned away, staggering a few paces away from the whole group. “Do you know what REALLY hurts?” he said, darkly. “About growing up? It’s not the dashed hopes. It’s not the aches and pains. It’s not even the stench of death, as it draws ever closer. No…” He glanced back coldly over his shoulder, at both Matthew and Smitty, the latter of whom winced. “It’s knowing that, one by one, the people you called your ‘friends’ will betray you, and abandon you.” “James, it wasn’t like that!” insisted Satyr. “I beg to differ!” James yelled, turning around fully, grinding his molars as he spoke. “This treasure is my key to getting what I always wanted! Something YOU took away!” “There were other ways to get it,” Sebek spoke up. It was strange to hear him NOT yell for a change. James shot him a heated glare, then looked back at Satyr. Matthew just looked with something like pity at Killian. “Why don’t you take it away again?” snarled James. “I’ve committed enough sins today to earn expulsion at best, and far worse beyond that. Go ahead, Matthew. Be the hero. Stop the villain. Send me away and win. We all know it’s too late-” “-To apologize?” James blinked. “Apologize?” he repeated. Then sneered. “You expect ME to apologize?!” “No,” Matthew said. He walked - not flew, walked - closer to James “I meant me.”
James could only stare. He seemed astounded. Matthew Satyr took a breath and looked up at the taller duelist, right into his eyes. “That day,” he explained, “I put the potion in the drink of MY opponent. But backstage, your opponent and mine…they were sharing the same room. I don’t know what happened exactly, James. Maybe I put the potion in the wrong drink. Maybe they two traded, or your opponent drank from the wrong cup. But I never meant to hurt you. I just…wanted a bit of fun, to get back at the person who hurt Kes. I never knew what was going to happen.” “You think that makes it better?” “No. Because you’re right: I should have owned up. I should have told the truth, and I never did,” Matthew admitted. He paused before finishing: “I’m sorry I did what I did. I’m sorry I hurt you, James.” James Killian just…stared. He was slack-jawed. Bug-eyed. As if he couldn’t believe at all what he was hearing. That was when you heard another intake of breath, and Nakoda Spivak stepped forward. “All of usss,” he hissed, the sound echoing through the cave and catching everyone’s attention. “We’ve been where you’ve been, Killian. I ssspent ssso much of my life feeling like I didn’t matter. Feeling like I was nothing but a worm; sssomething for others to ssstep on or ignore. I tried ssso hard to break that mold, and when sssomeone came along who threatened that desire…I sssnapped. I know what it feels like.” “As do I,” admitted Azul, stepping forward as well. “Like you, I reinvented myself from the ground up. I couldn’t stand who I was before. I couldn’t stand being weak. I couldn’t stand being seen as something lesser by so many.” Sebek squirmed. He didn’t say anything, but you knew memories of trying to live up to vast expectations were filling his mind. “Everyone in this room,” you said with a gentle smile, “Has a desire to be something greater, and everyone here has had to face a moment where that desire was threatened. But sometimes losing one dream just means there’s another out there you can find. And when someone makes a mistake, sometimes it’s best to forgive and forget. Because as long as you hold onto that hatred, that bitterness…you can’t escape it. Don’t let your rage consume you, James.” James Killian looked at all of you. His expression had chilled. It had become unreadable. He looked towards Matthew Satyr. Matthew’s own expression was unusually solemn. “When I was under your power, both times,” Satyr said, “You were my unhappy thought. It wasn’t fear of losing, James. It wasn’t feeling powerless. It was knowing that I’d let someone I considered a friend down, and all this time…I’ve never wanted to admit it. Just like you, I’ve had that buried deep inside me so long. And I think it’s time we made that stop.” He extended his hand. A hopeful smile was on his face. “It’s time we BOTH grow up, James,” he said, quietly. “If you help me, I’ll help you. That’s what friends are for, isn’t it?”
James hummed thoughtfully. “Friends,” he repeated, to himself, looking down at the offered hand once more… …Then a sadness flooded his face. A strange, unknowable melancholy. He seemed to smile, but it was a bitter, pained sort of smile, then he looked into Satyr’s eyes. “No,” he whispered, then turned away. “I’m sorry, but…no. It’s too late for that. Far too late.” Matthew’s hopeful expression fell. He closed his hand and pulled it back, crestfallen as he looked down morosely. “However…” Matthew looked up and saw James looking back over his shoulder. The brown eyes were warmer and more pleasant than they’d ever looked in a long time. “...Just because we aren’t friends…that doesn’t mean we have to be enemies.” Matthew blinked…then his expression brightened, and his feet lifted off the ground as he began to float into the air. James smirked as he turned to face him totally. “I will not rest till I defeat you, once and for all,” James promised. It sounded like a challenge, but not a threat. “And I will do so without any tricks. Without any magic at all. Nothing but my skills and my wits. I expect you to treat me precisely the same way. Do we have an accord?” Matthew nodded. “Sounds fair to me,” he replied. You and your friends smiled, looking at each other proudly. “Of course, since I won the game already this time, that will have to wait till next time,” Matthew added. All smiles fell. “Wait, what?” droned Sebek.
Matthew Satyr smirked. “Did you guys forget about the rest of my team?” he teased. “We figured out the clue ages ago! I sent them to find the ACTUAL prize chest, while I flew over to save Kes! And with how much time we’ve spent playing James’ own game, I’m betting by now they’ll have been at the beach AGES ago. So…yeah! I win again!” “Wait!” James exclaimed. “You…you KNEW it was a trap?! AND YOU KNEW WHERE THE PRIZE WAS?!” “I think I just said that,” giggled Matthew. “Seriously, James, subtlety isn’t really your strong point.” James eye twitched…and he roared, suddenly lunging forward to try and grab Mattthew Satyr. The fairy youth laughed, zipping to and fro as James danced around, trying to get hold of him. “SATYR!” he yelled. “Ye little crustacean-sucking, knock-kneed, squid-faced, plank-walking sack of soiled, sea-salted, unwashed fish buckets full of BAD BARNACLE BUTTS!"
“Wow, that’s gotta be one of your best insults so far!” laughed Matthew. “Too bad the game’s over! See ya later, James! Better luck next time!” So saying, Matthew Satyr flew fully out of James grasp and tipped his beret hat to all of you. “Same goes to the rest of you from Night Raven College! So long, suckers!” And with a whoop and a laugh - Kes trailing close behind him - Matthew Satyr flew out of the cavern and disappeared from sight. “COME BACK AND FIGHT LIKE A MAN! YOU DOUBLE-CROSSING PIPSQUEAK!” yelled James, shaking both fists and raging at the ceiling itself. “I’LL GET YOU FOR THIS! JUST WAIT AND SEE!” “In case you’ve forgotten,” Azul spoke up. “He’s the least of your worries right now.” James froze…and looked towards your group. Now that the sentiment had died down, he could see the anger in all of your eyes. He gulped nervously. “Ah…I…take it I’m not off the hook?” he peeped. “Not. Even. Clossse,” Nakoda glared.
“I will be benevolent and leave out the bit about you nearly feeding us to a giant crocodile,” Azul said. “But as team captain, I WILL be reporting how you were a very bad sport…again, to say the least. You jeopardized this game on more levels than I can count, even without counting your Overblot state.” “Let this be a lesson to you, Codfish!” boomed Sebek. “Thy cheating ways hath done thee in!” “Can we point out how I fell out of a tree thanks to him?” Nakoda suggested. “Oh, that will be an EXCELLENT start,” Azul assured the naga. James shrank back with seemingly every sentence. He chuckled nervously, face flustered. “H-Ha ha ha…ha…I…suppose I have no grounds to argue all this,” he said, in a strangled sort of way. “NONE,” you all chorused angrily, making him flinch. “Very well,” he mumbled, morosely…then, trying to salvage some dignity, he straightened himself up and adjusted his coat. “However, with your kind permission, I would at least like to ensure THAT…” He pointed to his boat. “...Will be returned safely to where I typically keep it, before we all return to campus.” “Ha! You think we’re gonna let you go off alone in that? You’ll run for sure,” huffed Grim. “Oh, I hardly think so,” Azul spoke up, and strode towards James. “After all, I think our Little Codfish knows that if he goes anywhere near the ocean in that little toy boat…” The octopus was almost nose to nose with James, his expression dangerously predatory in appearance. “...I won’t be far behind.” James gulped and blushed, and drew an X over his heart. “Back to school. No fleeing. On my admittedly dubious honor,” he squeaked out. “Good,” Azul crooned, and playfully patted James’ cheek, then looked towards your teammates. “Nakoda? Sebek? Pick up the treasure chest. If we can’t return with the ACTUAL prize chest, I think having that will make a decent consolation prize.”
“You’re not going to keep it!” Sebek gasped. “Why not?” smirked Nakoda. “Oh, no, he’s right, I won’t,” sighed Azul, looking VERY glum about that. “The Headmage will no doubt confiscate it and have it donated to a museum, or kept in a vault somewhere, or something like that…a shame, but I suppose raising our school’s clout will have to do. At least this will put us in his good graces for SOME purpose or another. Now come along.” Nakoda pouted, but obligingly helped Sebek lift the chest…not that Sebek needed much help, which he made clear as he pulled it clean out of Nakoda’s hands and started walking off with it, as easily as if it were stuffed with feathers. The naga in disguise called out - “Hey, wait up!” - before following as fast as he could, the pair following Azul towards the tunnel entrance. You lingered behind - you and Grim - standing beside James. The three of you watched the pair go, then looked at each other. “You fought well, for someone without magic. And you were quite clever in defeating me,” James congratulated. “Thank you for getting me out of that state; there’s nothing in which I revel as much as a worthy opponent.” “Nya! It was nothing!” grinned Grim. “I was talking to your human,” droned James, unimpressed. “Yeah, well, between you and me, I think I’ll leave the ‘swashbuckling hero’ act to experts from now on,” you said. James smirked and responded with a courtly bow, before turning towards his sailboat. “Come on, Smitty!” he called out. “We have work to do.” He paused after a few steps, when he realized no one was following him. Blinking in confusion, he looked back. “Uh…Smitty?” Smitty McCarthy had been quiet all this time. He was sitting beside the deep pool, and was looking into it quietly, as if peering at his own reflection. Something flickered in James’ eyes. He frowned, looking rather annoyed, and marched towards McCarthy. He soon stood beside him, hands on his hips. “Smitty!” he snapped. Smitty jumped, as if he’d just heard James speak and looked up, still seated. He blinked in an almost puppy-like manner up at the taller fellow.
“Why are you lollygagging about?” snorted James. “When I call, I expect you to follow!” Smitty blinked again. “You…you still want me around?” he peeped. James looked bewildered. “Why wouldn't I want you around?” he replied. Smitty bit his lip. He shuffled where he sat, tapping his fingers together guiltily. “I…w-well, I…I SHOT you, James. A-And I tried to hold you back! I…I u-used my-” “You betrayed me,” James cut in, glaring crossly. He waited till he was sure he had gotten Smitty’s attention before he continued: “You betrayed my trust. You betrayed our friendship. You betrayed everything I’ve stood for, for years, YOU LET ME DOWN!” Smitty flinched as James’ shout echoed through the cave. “Then…why?” squeaked Smitty. James’ hard glare softened. “Why?” he repeated. He paused…then sighed and knelt down. His expression was softer, kinder, than it had ever seemed before, as he looked into the smaller man’s eyes. “First of all, because you stopped me from doing something TRULY terrible. And second of all...do you really think you mean so little to me that a betrayal like that would make any difference?” James smile vanished instantly when he saw Smitty’s reaction. “Stop that,” he ordered. “With the eyes. Don’t do that thing with the eyes. How DO you do that thing with the eyes?! Brimstone and gall, it’s like they INFLATE!”
Smitty giggled and wiped some tears from his very, very wide eyes and smiled happily up at James. Killian’s own smirk returned, and he stretched out a hand, helping McCarthy to his feet and dusting himself off as he stood. “Come on, you kelp-brained lummox,” he chuckled affectionately. “I’ll never have a chance of beating Satyr without you.” “Aye-Aye, James!” Smitty cheered. “We’ll get him next time!” As the two boarded the ship, you lifted Grim and let him perch on your shoulder…but before heading off, a thought struck you. “Hey, Grim?” “Nya?” “How’d you like to take a little cruise around the island before we head back to school?” Grim blinked at you, and tilted his head. “What’s a cruise?” he asked. You smirked and chuckled, then looked over to where James and Smitty were readying to get the Czarina out of the cave. “Hey, guys!” you called out. “You got room for two more?”
By the time you all got to campus you’d discovered two things. One, that it was really quite splendid sailing along the river of Sage’s Island. Two…that Grim got seasick. Horribly so. Some splendid things can only be experienced once…
----------------------------------------------------------
…Or twice. “Ahhhh…thisss is the life…” You chuckled, opening one eye to glance to your side at the long and limber figure stretched out on a lounge chair upon the main deck of the Czarina. Nakoda Spivak was laying topless, wearing nothing but a pair of rattlesnake-skin-patterned swimming trunks and some sunglasses, soaking up the sunlight. Aside from his happy hissing, all you could hear were the gulls in the distance, and the sounds of the ocean waves - calm that day, and most serene - lapping against the hull of the sailboat. “Feels good, huh?” you teased. “Sssimply exquisite,” sighed Nakoda, and lifted his shades to give you a grateful smile. “I’ve never been on a ship of any sssort before. The jungle is wet, but there’s no real room for sssailing. I could grow to like thisss.” You shrugged, closing your eyes again and resting with a sigh of your own, expelled through your nose. “James has to do some ‘community service’ to make up for how he messed things up,” you explained. “I convinced the Headmage that giving some ‘seaside rest’ to his fellow students now and again could help. He wasn’t gonna say no, since it means he gets to sail and get easy points in the process.” “Hmmmm,” you heard Nakoda murmur, and then blushed as you heard his fingertips scratching at his bare belly as it gurgled. “And you decided to invite me because…?” “You saved us from that giant crocodile,” you replied. “The others may not know how to properly thank you for that, but I thought of a few ways.” There was a pause…then your eyes shot open as you suddenly felt the sun disappear. Your heart nearly skipped a beat as you found Nakoda looming over you, leaning across your lounge chair, smirking in his usual sultry, slippery way. “I jussst couldn’t bear the thought of anybody elssse having you for sssupper,” he cooed. “Yeah, well, get in line,” you mumbled, squirming in your seat. “Sss-sss-sss-sss!” Nakoda sniggered, and leaned closer still, voice dropping to a husky, dusky whisper. “Perhapsss there’s sssome other reward I’d like beyond a daytime cruise. Would you give it to me?” “Not even if you wiped my mind. So don’t bother.” Nako pouted. “You’re a ssspoilsssport sssometimes, you know that?” You smirked and booped his nose. Nakoda sneered and pulled back, blushing and covering his snout to protect it against further attack. “With pride,” you replied, then blushed anew as the serpent’s belly let out another whining gurgle. “Sounds like you could use something in that stomach of yours, though…” “Are you volunteering?” Nako grinned, uncovering his face…only to quickly cover it again when you lifted a finger threateningly.
“I can fix that!” called out a voice, and the two of you looked as James Killian himself, garbed in his usual red coat and carrying his gold-topped sword-cane in one hand (currently sheathed, of course), sauntered out of the cabin of the sailboat. He was carrying a very large lunchbox - a sort of miniature cooler - in his other hand. “Smitty packed an abundance of snacks for this voyage! Typically I’m used to simply shoving off alone, or just with him at me side. Tis grand to have fellow shipmates on this brief voyage!” “We’re just taking a little ride around the island,” you chuckled. “I don’t know if that counts as a ‘voyage.’” “Well, forgive me if I want to call it one,” sniffed James, snootily. “Now, do you two land lubbers want anything to eat or not.” “Mmmm, that depends,” smirked Nakoda, as he returned to his own lounge chair, making a point of wiggling his tush as he got comfy and sat upon it. “Is codfish on the menu?” James blushed. He coughed and responded: “Ah…actually, yes. Yes, it is.” Nakoda’s eyes widened. He looked overjoyed. “Ssseriousssly?” he breathed out. James hurriedly pulled something out of the cooler to show it to the snake. “I meant this,” he said, not making eye contact with the half-serpent. “Smitty, ah…made some codfish filets, and…packed them with ice. Ahem.” Nakoda blinked…then smirked and shrugged. “I’ll take it,” he replied, and then winked. “I can always imagine it’sss a particularly filling sssomebody here…after all, you’ll tassste exactly the sssame.” “Um…d-don’t you mean THEY’LL taste the same?” James corrected, mildly. Nakoda just grinned wider. “I mean what I sssay, and I sssay what I mean,” he replied. James blushed more, and cleared his throat. “Ahem…Smitty?” “Aye, James?” came a call from the helm. “How long till we return to our docking position?” “Oh, uh…another hour, I think, at least.” James looked at Nakoda. The hungry fellow winked flirtatiously and licked his lips, rubbing his bare belly with one hand. “Speed it up!” James barked to Smitty.
“I’ll do what I can,” Smitty called back, oblivious as ever. James rolled his eyes, while both you and Nakoda snickered. Killian then passed out some codfish filets, wrapped in wax paper, which you all began to eat. “I’m surprised you two don’t have any hard feelings, given my scurrilous behavior at the Scavenger’s Hunt,” James pointed out, sitting across from you two. “In my cassse, I learned my lesssssson the firssst time,” shrugged Nakoda. “Plotting revenge againssst people jussst ends up with me getting bitten in the tail…possssssibly literally.” James raised an eyebrow at this but said nothing. “As for me…meh. I think almost everyone on campus has either tried to kill me or nearly gotten me killed at some point by now,” you said dismissively. “Frankly, if I don’t go a month or two without nearly dying horribly, I start to worry the universe is outta alignment or something.” James and Nakoda chuckled. “Honestly,” you continued, looking seriously at James, “I’m surprised YOU don’t seem to be harboring any hard feelings. I’m, uh…kinda paranoid about it, to tell you the truth.” James smiled sincerely and looked out over the sea behind and beyond him. “No one till you was able to withstand against my Unique Magic,” he said, gazing off but addressing you. “If nothing else, that fact makes me curious. Perhaps you are more special than you give yourself credit for, Prefect, especially given all you’ve been through. Besides, I already have one obnoxious, brat-sized, bagoong-eating bootlick to hone all my rage against.” He turned to you with a slyer sort of smile. “Why form new enemies when I can form new…alliances?” “Still not fond of the word friends, eh?” you teased. “And I never will be,” said James, seriously…then added more softly, “But allies…those are always nice.” So saying, he passed out a few bottles of juice. You and Nakoda took them, and you held up yours like a cup in toast. “Very well then,” you said. “To alliances!” “Cheers!” chuckled Nakoda and James together, and the three of you toasted before drinking from the bottles. You and James took only a sip…but Nakoda slugged down the entire bottle. Soon, both yourself and Killian were watching, as if hypnotized, as each drop of fluid slid down the gullet, Nakoda’s Adam’s Apple bobbing in his throat with each swallow. “Paaaahhhhh!” sighed Nako, as he polished it off, then thumped his chest and belched crudely. “BLLLUUUURRRLLLLGP! Mph…sssweetly refreshing. Is there any more?” You and James were red as a couple of ripe cherries. You looked at each other wearily. “So, wanna bet on which of us is going to survive the rest of the trip?” you droned. “I think we’d both be lost causes,” James retorted. “Sss-sss-sss-sss! Don’t tempt me now, sssnacks,” taunted Nakoda. Smitty, from the helm, just rolled his eyes. His new friends were so strange…
As the four of you sailed on around Sage’s Island, you were unaware of a large pair of huge, green eyes, which poked up from the surface of the sea. They were attached to an equally huge, gray-blue head, and long, somewhat oily-looking black hair. A fanged sneer split a mouth large enough to swallow multiple sailboats whole, and a snort preceded the monster dropping back under the waves. “Let ‘em have some fun this time,” the sea beast muttered. “I’ve got bigger fish to feed on for now…” With a flip of a giant tail, the monster sank back into the darkest depths of the great ocean…but only for now. Pirates and serpents, it seemed, were far from the end of your adventures at Night Raven College.
The End

Quelle admirable réalisation, angle de vue, couleurs, précision du dessin! #Repost @yoyomaeght Au Panthéon des Artistes, si je ne devais garder que quelques artistes de la fin XIXe, il y aurait, entre autres, Pierre Bonnard, James Ensor et Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, avec cette peinture sur carton "La Clownesse Cha-U-KO, artiste au Moulin rouge", 1895. . Danseuse au Nouveau Cirque et au Moulin Rouge, Cha-U-Kao doit son nom de scène, aux consonances japonisantes, à la retranscription phonétique des mots français "chahut" (danse acrobatique dérivée du cancan) et "chaos" que suscitait son entrée en scène. Contrairement aux séries de dessins ou de lithographies dans lesquelles Cha-U-Kao apparaît sous la lumière des projecteurs, le peintre nous donne ici une image plus privée de son personnage, représenté dans un intérieur, sa loge ou un cabinet particulier. . #toulouselautrec #henridetoulouselautrec #lautrec #moulinrouge #modernart #artiste #paris #montmartre #chefdoeuvre #peinture #cabaret #dessin #pastel https://www.instagram.com/p/CpW7u9fIGyo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

what singers/bands/artists (?) do you think the fota characters would listen to (mortal au or maybe jude introduces cardan to 'mortal' music idk) your analysis and theories are brilliant btw :)
ahhh thank you so much nonnie!! glad you're enjoying them 🥺🙈❤️
okay so this is a beautiful question. obviously, i can only answer subjectively, based on artists that i already know. so other people's opinions will be different, but here's my take.
JUDE:
in TCP, Jude states she likes "sad ballads" (this is during the scene where she's telling Dain a bunch of stuff that may or may not be true, and she never tells us which one is a lie, but i'm just rolling with it).
so i'm thinking her more "upbeat" favs would include artists like: Lana Del Rey, Lorde, Florence & the Machine, Jessie Reyes, Hayley Williams, Paramore, Billie Eilish, Gabrielle Aplin (but mainly her old stuff)
anything that's "angst with a hint of angry".
and her more sobering favs would include artists like: Hozier, Bon Iver, James Vincent McMorrow, Adele, Sleeping At Last, Daughter, Julia Stone, Mree, Birdy, Of Monsters and Men (i think she'd be amused by this band name)
basically "forest pull me down with ivy".
CARDAN:
i'd like to think Cardan would have a very eclectic taste in music.
if you gave him the aux he'd oscillate between Queen, Massive Attack, Lizzo, and Nordic Death Metal without warning.
he's the kind of person who would fall asleep with headphones on, and when Jude sees him passed out on the couch she tenderly removes them from his ears only to find he was listening to Skrillex on full volume.
i also think he'd appreciate The 1975, Carly Rae Jepsen, King Princess, Kehlani, The Veronicas (don't @ me, he would), Panic! At The Disco, and Lindsey Stirling. the bi essentials.
oh, and he likes every artist that Jude likes.
OTHERS:
Taryn would listen to a mix of soundtracks from musicals, 1980s-style synth-pop, and Ed Sheeran.
Vivi would listen to all the early 2000s classics to relive her mortal world days- The Killers, Avril Levine, Paramore, P!nk, Cascada, Evanescence, Green Day, etc.
Nicasia is a hard one to pin but i feel like she would enjoy Opera for some reason.
Valerian would probably listen to Screamo and Hardcore Punk.
Locke only listens to Nickelback and Instructional Dance Songs (i.e. YMCA, Cha-Cha Slide, Cupid Shuffle, Soulja Boi, The Macarena).
that's all i have! hope it will suffice.
–Em 🖤🗡

Tumblr media
Needed another line, and thought Samuel Beckett might provide. Search yielded no Beckett, but the above passage, fitting in its way and no more nor less ambiguous than anything else here. something recent — Giuseppe Caccavale « Projet Paul Celan », Residence Concordia, Parigi gennaio-ottobre 2020; testo e foto dell’artista. (1 February 2021)  
method
A friend reminded me, recently, that I don’t have time (for what is irrelevant here). Have been ruminating on (avoiding the consequences of) this, since. And thinking too about the place dimension of time, as discussed by Veronica O’Keane in her The Rag and Bone Shop : How we make memories and memories make us (2021) — “One’s sense of time is inseparable from events, but this is a sense of time. Might time have something to do with place cells?” (107) and “The whole concept of time is generally unhelpful in understanding science, be it physics or neuroscience... From the perspective of recording events, the present is consciousness. In a seemingly ironic twist, I myself think that the only place that time does not exist is in the moment of consciousness...” (113)
The encountered lines — all included above from my search in pre-1923 sources — have found their respective though non-chronological places in a kind of rocking, panning motion, in which sediments settle into their respective ripples / couplets.
Would, could, does this — sequence — work (whatever “work” means) without the anchorings / tetherings / bibliographic wastefull(ness; line 9 above) that follow it? They were needed in the making, anyway, and for there to be sufficient distraction for the making to sustain.
all subject to change.

thinking about James with a partner with a oral fixation who just puts his fingers in their mouth randomly. sfw n a little NSFW at the end
______
he hummed as Sirius drones on about... something. James suspected maybe it was fashion related. he'd stopped listening 15 minutes ago and he suspects his under-stimulated love hadn't been listening for much longer. he nods encouragingly to his friend hoping it was believable fake interest. as he leans back into the common room couch he felt a tug on his fingers and thought nothing of it.
"what do you think?" Sirius asked finally clearly in distress.
"huh? what? um," he thought about telling Sirius he'd missed what he'd said until he was startled but the warm wet feeling of his finger being in someone's mouth. he yanked them back on reflex. "Ick! my fingers are filthy, Lovebug."
you look almost startled and he frowns at the look on your face. "let me wash my hands first love. I'll be back, padfoot. "
_____
and him listening to you trying to talk with his fingers down your throat. he thinks it's so cute.
or pulling his fingers out of your pussy and watching you take them in your mouth like they aren't absolutely filthy

Li Na, the first Grand Slam singles champion from Asia and the first to break into the world’s top 10… despite constant critique about her career choices and outward personality, she rose to become an icon in Chinese sport.
Lan Tian, paralysed from the waist down, took up skiing despite pressure from doctors and family and went on to live independently without support.
Shao Ting, WCBA basketball champion and PHD graduate, breaking the stereotype in China that a woman shouldn’t aspire so highly.
Nina Guo, blogger and climber, broke the rules by talking pubclicly about how climbing has helped her overcome many of the obstacles faced by mental illness.
Cecelia Yeung, born into a poor family, pressured not to pursue sport due to the difficulty in making a living from it. Ended up as the HK high jump record holder, the first full-time high jumper in HK and broke the HK high jump record three times in one day.
Wang Shuang, despite pressure from family and local coaches not to leave home, she became the first Chinese female football player to play outside of China and AFC Women’s Player of the Year.
Kung Fu Cha Cha, the first Asian team to row across the Atlantic, the youngest team to cross the Atlantic and the first female champions who broke Row Like A Girl’s record by 6 days.

(REVIEW) Tongues by Taylor Le Melle, Rehana Zaman and Those Institutions Should Belong to Us, by Christopher Kirubi
Tumblr media
In this review, Rhian Williams takes a look at Tongues, a dazzling zine edited by Taylor Le Melle and Rehana Zaman (PSS, 2018), with* Christopher Kirubi’s pamphlet ‘Those Institutions Should Belong to Us’ (PSS). 
*I [Rhian] use ‘with’ here in homage to Fred Moten’s use of that preposition in all that beauty (2019) to ‘denote accompaniment[]’. This pamphlet was interleaved in the review copy of Tongues that I received from PSS.
> Onions, lemons, chilli peppers, fractals, hands, patterns, palms pressing, tears, avocados, pomegranate, mouths, finger clicking, deserts. Screenshots, flyers, placards, transcripts, textures, temporalities. Tongues is an urgent gathering in, a zine-type publication that works as a space where Black and Brown women (bringing both their intersections and the tension of distinction) enact memorial, exchange, jouissance, resistance, collaboration, support, listening. Edited by Taylor Le Melle and filmmaker Rehana Zaman, whose work generates many of the dialogic responses interleaved in this collection, this ‘assembly of voices’ was brought together in this particular format in the wake of Zaman’s exhibition, Speaking Nearby, shown at the CCA in Glasgow in 2018. But, as Ainslie Roddick explains, in ‘an attempt to reckon with the trans-collaborative nature of “practice” itself’, Tongues resists academic mechanisms that fall into reiterating the violence of individualism, moving around the figure of the single author/editor to seek to capture ‘a process of thinking with and through the people we work and resist with, acknowledging and sharing the work of different people as practice’ (p. 3). As such, ‘[Tongues’] structure, design and rhythm reflect the work of all the contributors to this anthology who think with one another through various practical, poetic and pedagogical means’ (ibid.). Designed and published by PSS, this is a tactile, sensory production: its aesthetics are post-internet, collage, digi-analogue, liquid-yet-textural, with shiny paper pages that you have to gently peel apart, gleaming around a central pamphlet of matte, heavier paper in mucous-membrane pink and mauve, which itself protects the centrefold glossy mouth-open lick of ‘I kiss your ass’ between the leaves of Ziba Karbassi’s poem, ‘Writing Cells’, here in both Farsi and English (translated with Stephen Watts). Throughout, Tongues reiterates the sensuous, labouring body as political, as partisan.
> Tongues’ multivalency is capacious, nurturing, dedicated to archiving that which is fugitive yet ineluctable; so, inevitably, its overarching principle is labour, is work. The entire collection of essays, response pieces, email exchanges, WhatsApp messages, poetry, transcripts, journaling, and imaginings are testimony to effort and skill, to the determination to keep spaces open for remembrance and for noticing within the ever-creeping demands of production. It is not surprising that this valuable collection is stalked by perilous attenuation, the damage of exhaustion. It is appallingly prescient of the first week of June 2020. Moving my laptop so that I can write whilst also keeping an eye on what I’m cooking for later, setting up my child to listen to an audiobook so that I can try to open up some headspace for listening and responding, nervous about how to spread my ‘being with’ across multiple platforms (my child, my writing, the news, other voices), I am taken by Chandra Frank’s meditative response piece to Zaman’s Tell me the story Of all these things (2017) and Theresa Hak Kyung Cha’s Dictee (1982), which vibrates with ‘the potency and liberatory potential of the kitchen’ (p. 9) and movingly seeks to track and honour ‘what it means to both feel and read through a non-linear understanding of subjectivities’ (p. 10). But I only have to turn the page to realise my white safety. I am at home in my kitchen; my space may feel like it has turned into a laboratory for the reproduction of everyday life under lockdown, but it is manifest, it is seen in signed contracts, my subjectivity is grounded on recognition and citizenship. For Sarah Reed, searingly remembered by Gail Lewis in ‘More Than… Questions of Presence’, subjectivity was experienced as brutalisation, manifested posthumously in hashtags, #sayhername. (Reed was found dead in her cell at Holloway Prison in London in February 2016. In 2012 she had been violently assaulted by Metropolitan Police officer James Kiddie; the assault was captured by CCTV footage.) For the women immigrants engaged in domestic work in British homes, as documented here in Marissa Begonia’s vital journaling piece and Zaman’s discussion with Laura Guy, subjectivity is precarity and threat, their dogged labour forced into shadows. Lewis’s piece pivots around a ‘capacity of concern’ generated by ‘the political, ethical, relationship challenge posed by the presence of “the black woman”’ (p. 18), urging that such concern be of the order of care by walking a line with psychoanalysts D. A. Winnicott and Wilfred Bion in recognising that ‘in naming something we begin a journey in the unknown’ (p. 19). If that ‘unknown’ includes understanding how the British state is inimical to the self-determination and safety of Black and Brown women born within its ‘Commonwealth’ borders (#CherryGroce; #JoyGardner; #CynthiaJarrett; #BellyMujinga), and further, how its ‘hostile environment’ policies – named and pursued as such by the British Home Office under Theresa May – are designed specifically to threaten those born elsewhere, by reiterating Britain’s historical enthusiasm for enslavement of non-white labour (see the 2012 visa legislation, discussed here, that, for domestic workers, effectively put a lock on the 2016 ‘Modern Slavery Act’ review before it had even begun), then consider Tongues a demand to get informed. This is a zine about workers and working. It is imperative that we come to terms with what working life in Britain looks like (see the Public Health England report into disparities in the risk and outcomes of COVID-19 – released June 2 2020, censored to remove sections that highlighted the effect of structural racism, but nevertheless evidencing the staggering inequality in death and suffering that is linked to occupation and to citizen status, and therefore tracks race and poverty lines). It is imperative that we scrutinise how ‘popular [and, I would add, Westminster] culture perpetuates a notion of working class identity as a fantasy’ (p. 52) that literally spirits away the bodies undertaking keywork in the UK. The title of Frank’s piece here, ‘Fragmented Realities’, is exquisitely apt.
Tumblr media
> Bookended by Roddick’s and Zaman’s radical re-orientating of the apparatus of academia – the introduction that resists assimilating each of the forthcoming pieces under one stable rubric, instead simply listing anonymously a sentence from each contributor in a process of meditative opening up, and ‘A note, before the notes. The end notes’ that counter-academically reveals weaknesses and vulnerabilities, is open to qualification and reframing, is responsive ­– Tongues constitutes a politics and aesthetics of ‘shift’. Collated after a staged exhibition, anticipating new bodies of work to come, and ultimately punctuated by a pamphlet that segues from reporting on an inspiring event that took place at the Women’s Art Library, Goldsmith’s University of London to imagining a second one in paper (the ‘original’ having been thwarted by bad weather), the entire collection has a productively stuttering relationship with temporality and with presence. As Shama Khanna writes about working groups and reading groups, workshops and pleasure-seeking in gallery spaces, this is the moving ground of the undercommons. It is testament to its intellectual lodestars – Sara Ahmed, Fred Moten, Stefano Harney, and, especially, the eroto-power of Audre Lorde. Along with Christopher Kirubi’s pamphlet, ‘Those Institutions Should Belong to Us’, which comprises a series of seven short ‘prose poems’ documenting the anguish of writing a dissertation from a marginalised perspective, the entire project of Tongues with Those Institutions is to upend academic practice, to recognise the ideological thrust of academic method, to stage fugitive enquiry. Kirubi’s plain sans-serif black font on white pages rehearses the anxious dialectics of interpellation and liberation (‘there is a need to see ourselves reflected in position of agency power and self determination in a world which does not really wish to see us thrive at all’ (part 3)) afforded by their academic obligations, but inarticulacy is a higher form of eloquence:
Even though I know at some point I am going to have to yield to these demands I feel I have to say now that I want to take in this dissertation a position of defending the inarticulate, defending the subjective and defending the incoherent, without having to arrive at a point of defence through theoretically determined foundations, but to feel them.
> Since its structuring principles are those of women’s work, and of Black and Brown experience, nurturing and shielding within the exhaustingly cyclical nature of toiling for recognition, respect, and protection, Tongues dances in the poetics of circles, of loops and feedback, of reciprocity and exchange. Recognising, however, that circularity is also the shape of repetitive strain, Zaman leaves us with a spiralling gesture, in homage to the Haitian spiral, ‘born out of the work of the Spiralist poets’ (p. 61). This ‘dynamic and non-linear’ form insists on the mutuality of the past and contemporary circumstances, is ‘a movement of multiplied or fractured beings, back and forth in time and space demanding accumulation, tumult, and repetition, adamant irresolution and open endedness…’. We are in that spiral now. Such demands must be heard, power must be relinquished, established forms of control – enacted in the streets and on our pages – must be terminated. Writing in early June 2020, this feels precarious; no one is exempt from giving of their strength.
