I find the way that BBC Merlin set up Merlin's powers in the first episode to be quite funny. I mean, we see this sort of lanky guy and it is established that he is Merlin and (according to our own common knowledge) therefore he is the most powerful warlock ever. Okay, cool. One might assume that he has come to Gaius to develop his powers, that maybe he's only in the beginning of his magical journey. But instead the exposition shows Merlin, in the pilot episode of this 5 series show, stop time and employ levitation to save someone's life with magic, and then it is announced that prince Arthur is essentially his soulmate, and their joint power will create the most glorious age Camelot has ever seen. Quite an exciting set-up. And then for the rest of the entire show this man who we know possesses TIME-ALTERING POWERS mostly uses them on-screen to do common chores and annoy and prank THAT SAME Arthur. Like that one post said, "All of it's destiny and all of it's his fault." :p

Some added story below

music recommendation, as always :3

----

“Bernard said, you needed something?”

"Henry! Yes indeed. There's an excort planned for Sasau tomorrow. Hanush ordered some additional gifts, quite valuable goods that is. I need you to accompany them, since the roads are pretty stuffed with all sorts of scum at the moment. You'll be heading quite early at daybreak, so be ready, will you?"

“But a trip to Sasau and back is like… at least a day’s effort.”

“Which is why you are heading out early, are you not listening?” a nervous breathed laugher was heard, but Hans did not look up from the book he’s been engrossed in.

“But tomorrow is-”

“I know, what day is tomorrow, Henry.”

…

Henry stood there in silence. Waiting. From experience he could tell Hans’ rough and rushed tone would disappear, once his impatient first impulse subsided.

“…. Listen.”, the lord of Pirkstein and just recently officially recognized lord of Rattay closed the book in front of him with a firm quick movement, before his hands got to rest on its cover.

"I can't…have you here. I can't…do this…to you. I don't want to…force you to be on my side…when I'm…getting married.."

Henry followed Hans' gaze and both ended up starring into the rustling warmth of the fire pit. The wooden pieces cracked tirelessly. Hans must have added new logs to the flame right before Henry entered the room. A certain numbness had settled in Henry's spine days ago. Initially a small inconvenience, it grew to gain weight close to flour sacks by now. Heavy, perhaps even filled with something sharp and dark, hidden deep inside. It was hard and slow work but undoubtedly it had to be taken care of, whether he liked it or not.

"Hm. Hanush will be upset. He personally ordered me to be there, I recall quite well."

“I don’t care about Hanush anymore, Henry… He should have waited with the council’s meeting, if he’s really that picky ‘bout the orders he gives out. Things changed….”

Henry let his eyes be hypnotized by the dancing flames in front of him. A fire, warm and bright. Steady but still dancing with its full force and energy. A sight that had burned itself into his mind months ago, when times were different for them. Burdens far bigger than today’s had been hanging on his shoulders, but the fire pit and it’s warmth still burned for him back then. Just like they did today.

“Get up.”

Barely notable a small smile ran across Hans' face,"Ordering around nobility again, are we Henry? Will you ever learn."

“Please.” Henry was not able to hold back a smile for himself now.

Flames jumping eagerly around the chimney next to him. Hans put down the book he was still holding and got up from his chair. Just like that Henry's fingers were all over his space again. Slightly lifting up his own hand from his side and aimlessly intertwining with his own.

"Whenever being by your side. There is no force with it. There never was, Hans. If you want me to be somewhere else, I'll be. But I will always be right next to you, whenever you want me to. Because I want to, and that desire will always outweigh everything else I'll have to deal with."

The quiet, steady cracking of burning logs finally filled the entire room.

.......................

Fuck it's been quite some time, since I last wrote stuff... like...really storytelling, not just brabbling out all my thoughts about something...

I don't know why but I don't like my Hansry art just ...yet... it's ...not quite... something's still off.... and probably it's just me not able to get out of my brain again with these... therefore I hoped adding some story would get me on track or smth... :)

Nika reincarnated and the King of Hell.

I don’t know how many of you are Zelda fans but Luffy being the sun god Nika could go crazy hard with the Skyward Sword storyline.

For those of you who have not played Skyward sword no worries I’m changing enough of the plot it won’t matter to much

Let’s say there is the legend of Nika. A legend pass down of the sun god who came to earth to liberate slaves and return joy and freedom to the world.

Most of the texts has been lost but the oral tradition keeps the story alive. However it is not a totally accurate account.

They tell the story of Nika’s exploits on Earth. Including his help from other gods/angels/deities.

But the most famous tale is the story of Nika’s fight with the King of Hell. The fight to free the people of this world. Nika was able to seal away the King of Hell but was fatally wounded as a result of the fight.

However the true version this tale had been lost to time. The current version is missing quite a lot of detail. Including the fact that Nika, perhaps knowing he would be needed again or just wanting to be with his friends and loved ones once more, sacrificed his immortality so that his soul could reincarnate as a human.

Thousands of years later Luffy is born.

After Luffy unlocks Gear 5 he starts to get these weird visions or feelings. It starts out while he’s sleeping but he’s starting to get them while he’s awake. It’s starting to worry the crew. One minute he will be standing there talking to them and then the next his eyes are locked on the horizon, but they aren’t really seeing anything and he’s not responding to their calls.

It’s only for short periods of time, and Luffy tries to brush them off with the crew, but he’s really starting to freak out. Because he’s seeing things that he does not remember happening.

When they arrive on the next island Luffy gets separated from the others. Maybe a cult follower of Nika. Maybe an old friend, someone who already remembers their past life with Nika and is here to help Luffy as he unlocks his memories. (Maybe Shanks or Sabo, someone Luffy would willingly go with and trust them when they say his crew will be fine)

Meanwhile, while Luffy is going on a journey of self discovery, the crew is losing their minds

Specifically Zoro. He’s been having weird dreams since Enies Lobby when he unlocked his Asura form for the first time. They were few and far between but they always freaked him out because why was he fighting Luffy in those dreams?

It’s been getting worse since he gained Enma. Every night since picking up that sword he’s been having weird dreams. Something that used to happen once a month at most is now a nightly occurrence. And then when he unlocked the title King of Hell he started getting them in the day. And he’s starting to freak out. Because he’s starting to remember their previous lives. But nothing makes sense. There are some memories where Zoro?Asura? and Luffy?Nika? Seem to act like they do now, there are some memories where they seem closer (memories that make his cheeks burn) but there are also memories where they seem to be at each others throats and fighting to the death. But that seems to be only one memory, the one memory that won’t leave him alone.

And he’s been wondering for weeks if Luffy has been remembering to. If the pauses where he zones out are actually him being plaguing by visions to. But he’s to scared to ask, because what if the only memory Luffy has of past Zoro is them fighting? Or what if Luffy isn’t seeing visions and Zoro is just crazy?

And now Luffy has gone missing and they need to find him but they keep getting to him to late. Luffy’s moved on to the next temple, next location, and they are always just a step behind their captain.

(Note other crew members are remembering things from their past lives as well. I haven’t placed them all yet but they were definitely around with Nika in the past. Now what role they played is up for debate. A different god/ one of Nika’s angels/ or just a person who was loyal to Nika in the past, someone he liked enough to tie them to his soul when it reincarnated.)

Once they reunite Luffy and Nika have fully merged. The crew can tell he’s different. But they don’t have long to talk. Something is coming. Whatever happened in the past is about to come again and Nika has to hold it off until the crew is ready to fight. (Till they remember what he does) he goes to do this but swears to them that no matter what happens or what they remember he’s still their captain, he’s still their Luffy.

And the he’s gone again. Somewhere they can’t follow this time. Not until they remember. Not until their enemy is defeated.

As they go on their quest they all start to remember different parts of the story. Which could lead to one of them (probably Sanji) remembering the final fight between Asura and Nika. But he has no other context so it just lead to him and Zoro fighting because he thinks Zoro is their enemy or at least he used to work for him, because Asura dealt the fatal blow to Nika which started this reincarnation crap.

It isn’t until they put the whole story together that they find out Asura was possessed when he fought Nika. It was an unseeable betrayal because it wasn’t a betrayal. Once Asura delt the fatal blow to Nika he snapped out of it. He followed Nika’s decision to sacrifice his immortality in the hopes that they could be together again.

The main enemy is probably Imu. An ancient deity who Nika sealed the powers of long ago. Enough time has passed that the seal has weakened and that is way Luffy has to hold the seal while his crew gets their memories back.

I love Zelda and I think this could be a lot of fun taking elements of both skyward sword and Tears of the kingdom to make it work.

Obviously the whole crew had their roles in the past life. So did Ace, Sabo, Shanks and others

I kinda like the idea of Shanks being Luffy’s guide to his memories while his crew runs interference with the Strawhats. One of the great parts of Skyward swords story is your always a step behind Zelda and Impa never lets you forget that you were to slow to save her. That if Impa wasn’t there Zelda would be dead, and Link would have been to slow and weak to stop it. The idea of Shanks crew (and maybe Mihawk) taunting the Strawhats with the fact that they are to slow or weak to protect their captain has a lot of drama to it. Luffy’s safe, Shanks’ wouldn’t let anything happen to him, but the fact that they (the Strawhats) are to slow to help him over and over has to hurt.

This could also work really well with Sabo in this position. Sabo helping Luffy with his memories while Dragon taunts the crew.

I also love the idea that for centuries Asura was blamed for Nika’s death and Zoro and the crew learning about it with no context. Zoro would lose his mind at just the idea that he could ever be the one responsible for killing Luffy in a past life. Of course it’s not the full truth as they later find out but that moment would be awesome.

Let me know what you guys think. I want to talk about this more.
