Darius Origin Part 12

Final section!

During those 10 minutes he thought about what he would do when he was the head of the abomination coven. It was so far away… he looked at the clock again, oh shoot he better go. He locked the door behind him and headed towards his school's grungy field, where the fight was taking place. He remembered the tournament in which Alador easily beat him. This time would be different! He knew it. He stepped on the field. There were so many people there. He could see Odalia here already, looking smug.  He could Eda and Raine goofing off, though he could see from her that Eda was looking worriedly at Lilith who was nose deep in a book and looked disheveled.  He couldn't focus on that though, it was his time to shine. He stepped into the field and waited. The protector showed up and made note of Darius's clean clothes and put together an appearance. He nodded approvingly. So they waited some more. The proctor checked the time. Suddenly Darius remembered that Belos and the golden guard said they would be watching, he turned and tried to look around casually, when he saw him. 

In the shade of the tree, the golden guard. He noticed Darius's look and gave a casual shrug. Darius focused back on the field. Where he noticed that Alador was shambling up to the field. He had messy clothes and messy hair. The Proctor looked disapprovingly at him and turned up his nose at him. On his back was that weird contraception. Darius never realized what that thing did. He always assumed it was storage, but  he swore he saw the matter was moving slightly. The proctor cleared his throat “Well now that ALL PARTICIPANTS are here, we can begin. The winner, when inducted to the abomination coven, will win the right to be trained by the abomination coven head, are we clear?” both him and Alador nodded. “Then Begin!” he shouted. Him and Alador entered a standoff. Which one would attack first? Turns out it was Alador. He manipulated the matter on his back and formed it into fists and made them fly at him. Darius dodged twice, one for each fist. Then the third one flew at him and he created a shield. “Oh titan” he thought. He forgot to make a spell circle, he needed to make sure he does that from now on. Making a medium spell circle the efforts made an abomination and rushed it at Alador. Alador responded in kind. The abomination clashed. Hands pushing against each other. Trying to overpower the other. Fortunately Darius won the match. Disintegrating into a bunch of splatters. Alador made a wave of abomination goo and sent it towards him. 

Darius made a big spell circle and made  a wall of sideways abominations to separate the wave. He then turned the wall into a bind and trapped Alador. He added in Aladors own goo for extra power. He thought he won. But he didn’t, not yet. Alador split his attention between the thing on his back, which had formed mini hands and were trying to push the bins out. On top of that Alador had also managed to try and manipulate the bound itself. Now it was a tie and all Darius had to do was tire him out. If there was one thing he knew, Alador liked things to be efficient and fast. He never liked to have things drawn out like this. Maybe that's why he was getting it into combining? Darius reflected. He pouts in so much time and he gets quickness and effectiveness out of them, with the added benefit of direct control if he wishes. No wonder, Odalia seemed to prefer him. Just like he predicted, ALador tired and stopped struggling. “ Do you give up? “ Darius asked. ALador modded and painted “Yes, I..lost”. Darius dropped him to the cheer of the crowd. Eda was looking at him suspiciously, Lilith was still in the book, Odalia looked absolutely pissed. Everyone else cheered. 

The proctor stood up from his chair and set down his drink. “ Congratulations to Darius Deamone!, when he is inducted into the abomination coven, he will be the protegee of the current head.!” he did it, he actually did it. He couldn't wait to tell his parents today. They would be so proud. When he had announced it to them last week, they had promised they would be waiting for him at home and they would have his favorite meal ready for him. As everyone got up to leave he got a lot of high fives and pats on the shoulder. The proctor gave another approving nod and a pat.  Alador gave him a small nod, acknowledging nod. He came up to him and shook his hand. Seeing him. He looked so different than he was. The messiness worked on him. He wished he had been at his side, instead of Odalia, but he needed to learn to clamp down that desire. Alador can make his own decisions, he doesn’t agree with them, but he figured he'll come around later at some point. He had hope.  Afterwards, Alador shuffled off, and then Odalia joined him. Consoling him and already giving him notes on what he could do better. Before she got too far away, he saw her give him a dirty look. Darius just took it and accepted it. Soon it was just him and the golden guard. The field was empty and quiet. Who was now strolling up to him. “Those were some good moves you had there, you surprised me. You definitely have a gift” he started “plus,” he continued, “ that was a good shield you made.. You know from your arm. Without a spell circle? I saw that”. “Oh uhhh” Darius started to sweat.  “It’s ok, I won't spill, I want to train you also”. “W-what” he stuttered. “Yup, you heard me, you’ll get training and the time to hone your abilities from both me and the abomination head, pretty cold deal yeah?” “Of course, that would be great!” he exclaimed. With that the golden guard patted his head and brought out that weird staff and said “Byeeeeee!” and he flickered and disappeared. This was the perfect day. The possibilities are endless now. It would be fun to see how his life goes from here on out. It all started right here, when he won.

PLEASE GD IF YOU LOVE AND WANT TRAINS

[cardentist]

hey, so people need to be aware that youtube is now (randomly) holding basic features for ransom (such as being able to pin comments under your own videos) in exchange for Your State ID/Drivers License, or a 30 Second Video Of Your Face.

not to pull a "think of the children," but No Actually. I've been making videos as a hobby since 2015 (and I've had my channel since middle school), I was a minor when I started and I'm not sure I would have understood the kind of damage something a seemingly simple as a video of your face can do.

this is a Massive breach of privacy and over-reach on google's part No Matter What, but if they're going to randomly demand a state ID or license then they absolutely should not allow minors to be creators.

google having a stockpile of identifying information on teenagers is bad enough, but the Alternative of recording your face and handing it over to be filed away is Alarming considering it opens the gates for minors who Aren't old enough to have a license.

and yes, there is a third option, but it's intentionally obtuse. a long wait period (2 months), with no guarantee of access (unlike, say, the convenience of using your phone's cameras for either of the other two), with absolutely No elaboration on what the criteria is or how it's being measured.

it's the same psychological effect that mobile games rely on. offer a slow, unreliable solution with no payment to make the Paid instant gratification look more appealing (the "payment" in this case being You. you are the product being offered).

and it's Particularly a system that (I think intentionally) disadvantages people who don't treat their channels like a job. hobbyists or niche creators who don't create regularly enough or aren't popular enough to meet whatever Vague criteria needs to be met to pass.

markiplier would have no problem passing, your little brother might not be able to. and while Mark's name is already out there there's no reason why your little brother's should be too.

something like pinned comments may seem simple, you don't technically Need it. but it's a feature that's been available for years. most people don't look at descriptions anymore. so when there's relevant information that needs to be delivered then the pinned comment is usually the go to.

for my little channel that information is about the niche series I create for. guides on how to get into the series, sources on where to find the content At All (and reliably so). for other creators it can be used for things Much More Important.

Moreover, if we let them get away with cutting away "small" features and selling it back to you for the price of your privacy, then they Will creep further. they Will take more.

Note: I have an update to this post here: [Link]

just dreamt i had a dream where i posted something along the line of 'Neil Gaiman could just post a video of himself doing a forward roll and it would get notes' which got reblogged by Neil Gaiman with a video of him doing a forward roll. then i woke up (in my dream), immediately went on tumblr and made a post about how i had that dream which once again got reblogged by Neil Gaiman with a video of him doing a forward roll. So now i woke up for real and immediately went on tumblr to post this because i really need to know what the fuck this means.

Can we have a moment of silence for Sylvia, who now has an Alien living in her backyard, and a moment of triumph for Wilf, who now has an Alien living in his backyard

everything is about reaching the ending except for the ending which is about wanting to go back to the start

[shigayokagayama]

mob psycho is the greatest show ever made because reigen being cancelled on twitter is one of the most important moments for his character as well as one of the most emotionally heavy episodes of the show but him being trapped in alone in a purgatory dimension slowly starving to death is treated as a gag and never mentioned again

everyone on tumblr @Buggy the 🤡 right now
