Reunion
Note: Hello tumblr, I have crawled out of the shadows to actually contribute something to the hellsite for once. I had written some things for some of my D&D characters, and while browsing some of the whump tags, realized "hey, maybe this would provide the whumperflies for someone", so here I am. Note that I am a computer science major, and not an author, so I make no claims about being particularly good, lol, but I am a dedicated player and DM, and have enjoyed writing these things. Knowledge of Dungeons & Dragons not required! Content Warnings (let me know if I missed something):
family drama, dehumanization, "it" as a pronoun, physical restraints (chains and spells), gaslighting (maybe?..), mentions of murder, mention of blood (not graphic), brief mention of execution, explicit language
Context: PC for D&D campaign set in Ravenloft (Barovia to start with)
Daemyr Iathrana (child name "Kiath") is the rightful heir to the throne of Silanar, a high elven kingdom in the southwest of the High Forest in the Forgotten Realms. However, whether by some distant blood connection or just by fate, Daemyr was born with the curse of lycanthropy. It didn't show until he was 14, when he first transformed. Thankfully, he only killed some livestock, but it did not escape the notice of the owners of the livestock, who found him covered in blood and laying in a pile of hay in the morning. His parents were alarmed and appalled and paid them off to keep quiet about Daemyr. It of course wouldn't look good for the royal family to have a werewolf in its midst.
Daemyr was to be killed, but he managed to escape and ran off, leaving his family to fake his death and to place his younger sister Allyranyn (child name "Ally") next in line for the throne. Daemyr was tracked down and trained by an order of blood hunters. He eventually left and has been traveling and making a living as a monster hunter for hire, hiding his true identity.
So sorry for the long post! Story below the cut.
Under the cover of night, Daemyr snuck through the courtyards of his childhood home (well-practiced at dodging the eyes of watchful guards, keen-eyed elves or otherwise), until he came to the base of one of the sleek towers of the castle, where he began to climb. The windows were dimly lit with candlelight, and soft singing drifted through an open one. Daemyr reached the window and peered inside. There she was, his sister Ally, sitting at her desk, singing as she scrawled away at something. Daemyr smiled; it had been so long since he had left Silanar and his sister.
He took a breath, and then knocked gently on the windowsill. "Hey Ally."
"Aaahh!" she yelped, leaping up from her chair and whirling around to face the window, a ball of arcane energy already forming in her hand. She took a good look at the intruder, squinting through the dimness, and her mouth slowly fell agape. The energy started to fizzle away a bit, and a hint of a smile tugging at her lips. "…Kiath?..."
Once it seemed she had calmed a bit, Daemyr pulled himself up and through the window. "It's been a while, huh," he chuckled. Looking his sister in the eyes for the first time in around 150 years, he was stunned by the uncanny resemblance to their mother that Ally had grown into. She was beautiful, so grown and regal and strong. "Wow, you've grown so much, you look great!"
After a moment of continued staring in disbelief, she shook her head a bit, as to clear the thoughts inside it, and hardened her gaze. "What are you doing here, Kiath?" questioned Ally, returning to staring at Daemyr.
Daemyr, a little confused at her not matching his energy around their reunion, shifted awkwardly, and broke the engagement, turning to look around the room and back out the window as he spoke. "Well, I missed you. It's been a long time, I wanted to see how you were doing, hang out again for a bit like we used to… Is everything okay, Ally?" Daemyr approached his sister, now concerned.
"It's Allyranyn now. Queen Allyranyn." she said matter-of-factly, taking a step backwards.
Daemyr stopped, brow furrowed. "Oh, right. That's a beautiful name. Mine's Daemyr. You didn't answer me though, what's wro-"
"You shouldn't be here. You should never have come back." Allyranyn was now backing towards the door, never once taking her eyes off of her brother.
"I mean, I knew it was a risk, but no one has to know I was ever here. I thought you'd be happy to see me,"
"Hah- Happy to see you?!" the elven queen laughed in disbelief. She was beginning to shake, and Daemyr thought he would've been able to smell the adrenaline even without his lupine senses. She was losing her composure, as if the sight of her brother had broken through the emotional dam she had been building all those years.
"Allyranyn, tell me what's wrong!" Daemyr strode towards her, aiming to put an arm around her protectively.
"You stay right fucking there!" she roared shakily, her eyes flaring blue, and suddenly, Daemyr could no longer move.
The werewolf let out a growl/yelp of surprise. "What-?!"
"Oh, drop the act, would you! You're supposed to be dead, for the safety of the people of this kingdom! You managed to cheat death, and then you dare to come back?!" Allyranyn was seething.
Daemyr would have stumbled backwards had he not been held in place. Taken aback by her attitude, he stuttered, "Wha- You bought into Mom and Dad's bullshit? I thought you were on my side?..."
"Silence, dog! I'm not finished!"
Daemyr was silent, more out of shock than anything. But his body was already beginning to react for him. He could feel himself beginning to shift.
"Don't you dare talk about Mom and Dad when you're the monster who slaughtered them! I know you were upset about the way things played out years ago, understandably so, but how cold-hearted do you have to be to not only murder your parents but also then saunter back into their home like nothing happened?!"
Daemyr's eyes went wide. "What?! You think I killed our parents?! How could you think I would do that? Besides, I haven't even been anywhere near Silanar since I left! Come on, Ally, really?"
"And why should I believe anything a conniving creature like a werewolf says?!" she shouted in response, before shaking her head slowly. "For a while, I had held onto hope for you, but do you really have no remorse, no control? … I suppose I was an idiot for thinking an animal could learn to be a man…."
Daemyr was caught between rage and heartbreak as her words sunk in.
"Ally…" He was distinctly wolfish now, his words coming out as husky growls.
Boots thudding against stone steps could be heard now, and shouting. "Queen Allyranyn! - Get out of there! - Hold on! We're almost there!"
Daemyr's ears perked up, and his breathing accelerated. "Ally, please, believe me. I didn't kill them! I'm the same "Ki" you chased through the woods, who used to braid your hair, and stole your stuffed toys for a joke! Nothing's changed, you loved and trusted me then!" He struggled against the spell, but Allyranyn was a strong mage; she had always had a knack for magic, the way Daemyr had for swordplay.
"I was young; I had no notion of the concept of distrust. Then, it was only a matter of time before you showed your true colors. I guess learning that the hard way is just a part of growing up," she spat with a dismissive chuckle. Her rage appeared to have diluted into a churning mixture of anger, fear, and sadness.
The door flew open with a crash, and a dozen guards poured into the queen's room, and while some took protective stances in front of Allyranyn, most charged straight for the paralyzed Daemyr.
"We came as soon as we got your message, though it took longer than anticipated to find the chains. My apologies, majesty. I am glad to see it has not yet hurt you," said one of the soldiers standing with Allyranyn.
With those words, the elven woman faltered. Just for a moment, but it was long enough to lose concentration on the spell holding Daemyr in place.
The soldiers were swarming him, some with weapons at the ready, and others began to clamp silver manacles onto his wrists and ankles. As the metal made contact with his skin, Daemyr screamed and howled with the white-hot searing pain. He snapped. The guards, many of which had been around when he was the young prince of the castle, were no longer old friends or even unfortunate enemies; they were just meat.
The werewolf lashed out in rage, pulling against the chains, trying to draw as much blood as possible, and with each drop of crimson life that hit the floor, the pain seemed to get further away.
Allyranyn, having regathered her composure, sighed, and lifted her shaking hands, beginning to mutter an incantation.
"On your knees," she commanded.
His little sister's voice pierced the fog of bloodlust and raw emotion, and Daemyr felt compelled to obey. He stopped slashing and snarling, and slowly knelt down, chest heaving and nostrils flaring with each breath.
"Stay still."
This was harder to obey, as the burning of the silver began to creep back into his awareness, but for the most part, still he was.
The guards were then able to continue their work, albeit much more cautiously. They finished with the chains, ending with one around his neck, and then forced a silvered muzzle onto him, both evoking further cries of pain from the wolf.
"Ally… please…" Daemyr pleaded through gritted teeth, finding his sister's eyes. "Don't do this…"
After a beat, Allyranyn, staring right back at him, responded flatly.
"There's no place for beasts in the Iathrana royal family."
As that all-too-familiar sentence sent Daemyr reeling back to his last days at home at 14 years old, the soldiers pulled on his chains and hauled him to his feet.
She turns to address her guards, looking right at them but staring through. "Take him- it- to the dungeon. We'll have the execution publicly first thing in the morning. Our people deserve to see the end of the creature that killed our beloved king and queen."
With a collection of murmured variations on "Yes, Your Majesty", the soldiers pushed Daemyr towards and through the door and dragged him down, down, down, to the dungeon once again.
Allyranyn stood stoically by the door as they left, eyes now empty of the fire they had had just minutes ago. She shut the door behind them, shuffled towards her bed with her gaze still set on a very distant nothing, and dropped down with a thump, sitting up against the side. Long after she was sure the footsteps had faded, she let out her breath. And she began to weep.
And there it is! Thanks for reading! There is a second part to this that I'll post right after this. If people actually enjoy these, let me know, and maybe I'll write some stuff with younger Daemyr in addition to the ideas that are important for me to write to build the background for the way current Daemyr will act and think.

Once again redoing my About Me as I once again try to get into Studyblr
About Me (Newest)
I know this blog doesn’t have followers, (which is okay, it’s a tool for myself anyway) so an up-to-date about me doesn’t really matter anyway. However, in case anyone happens to stumble across this blog who may be interested in a studyblr that is not the most aesthetic or the most perfectly successful, or those who may be studying the same things as me, I’ll do a new about me. I will restate though: not a super aesthetic blog or bullet journaling type. Just a non-artistic student trying to get by.
My name is Asher. I’m 20 years old, and I am a second year undergraduate student at Indiana University Bloomington. I’m double majoring in Astronomy/Astrophysics and Physics, with a minor in Mathematics. I hope to become a researcher in High-Energy Astrophysics (black holes, neutron stars, magnetars, etc.), but I’m open to exploring many different fields.
This semester, I'm taking:
AST A452: Extragalactic Astrophysics
MATH M312: Calculus 4
PHYS P301: Physics 3
CSCI A201: Introduction to Programming 1 (Python)
PSY P101: Introductory Psychology 1
I am participating in research in Astronomy outside of class with a faculty mentor, Dr. Liese van Zee, who studies irregular dwarf galaxies, through IU’s STARS program.
I’m an INTJ 5w6, aroace, and a trans guy. I have general and social anxiety and am being treated for moderate depression.
I’m very into Marvel, both movies and comics. The various X-Men series’ are mostly what I read. My favorite characters are Wolverine and X-23. I’m also into some anime, mainly JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure right now. I play violin and am intermediate beginner to intermediate on piano, cello, and guitar (acoustic and electric). I like to read, and sci-fi and fantasy are my favorite genres. I play video games on PS4, Xbox, and 3DS sometimes as well. I have my own Xbox One S in my apartment now, so I’m playing a lot more Xbox lately. I also love learning languages- Japanese (5 years/courses), German (3 courses), Spanish (Duolingo, maybe about a year’s worth), and Russian (Duolingo and book, very much a beginner).
I can’t guarantee I’ll succeed in using this blog, but I feel like trying, in the hopes that it might get me more excited about studying.

Landing on a part of a roof, he perched himself on the edge and brought his legs to his chest comfortably to rest his arms on his knees. Despite his rather defensive movement, he smiled peacefully.
"What's up? I'm Brooklyn."

I still have a very big soft spot for you because I adored you growing up and I still do. It makes me sad that people seem to be giving you a hard time... Remember that I and others will always love you
"I am super glad you enjoyed your childhood with me in it and that you still enjoy me being part of something special even though its something so tiny and small. It's okay that everyone is giving me a hard time, it's because I am nothing but old news and nothing special- I am nothing like the new Jack Frost, he's a true golden knight."

About Me (New)
So things went downhill quickly around the time I started trying to use this blog. I don’t want to get into everything that happened or everything that’s led to me coming back. But I think I’m back. I know this blog doesn’t have followers, (which is okay, it’s a tool for myself anyway) so it doesn’t matter anyway. However, in case anyone happens to stumble across this blog who may be interested in a studyblr that is not the most aesthetic or the most perfectly successful, or those who may be studying the same things as me, I’ll do a new about me. I will restate though: not a super aesthetic blog or bullet journaling type. Just a non-artistic student trying to get by.
My name is Asher. I’m 19 years old, and I will be starting to attend Indiana University Bloomington this fall. I’m going to be double majoring in Astronomy/Astrophysics and Physics (barring any change of mind, of course). I hope to become a researcher in High-Energy Astrophysics (black holes, neutron stars, magnetars, etc.), or maybe Theoretical Physics or Particle Physics.
This first semester, I'm taking:
General Astronomy 1
Calculus 3
Physics 1
3rd Sem. German
I will be participating in research in Astronomy outside of class with a faculty mentor through IU’s STARS program. I will also update with clubs/other activities once I have signed up for them. You can see my prior about me for what I was doing in senior year of high school.
I’m an INTJ 5w6, aroace, and a trans guy. I have general and social anxiety and am being treated for moderate depression.
I’m very into Marvel, both movies and comics. The various X-Men series’ are mostly what I read. My favorite characters are Wolverine and X-23. I play violin and am intermediate beginner to intermediate on piano, cello, and guitar. I like to read, and sci-fi and fantasy are my favorite genres. I play video games on PS4, Xbox and 3DS sometimes as well. I’m interested in other sciences other than the ones I’ll be studying, such as Psychology, Chemistry, and Computer Science. I also love learning languages- Japanese (5 years), German (1 year, will study in college as well), Spanish (Duolingo, maybe about a year’s worth), and Russian (Duolingo and book, very much a beginner).
So, I move in on August 21st, and school starts on August 26th, and I will hopefully still want to use this blog. In the meantime, I may use it to challenge myself to be somewhat productive during the summer.

About Me
Hi, I'm Lycan. I'm 18 years old and a senior in high school. My family tells me I've always been a very good student and a hard worker, but it got to be too much I guess, as I burned out in about the middle of last year (thanks APUSH), and even now in the latter half of first semester senior year, I think I'm still feeling the effects, and it's really hurting me in a lot of ways. I'm creating this studyblr in an attempt to motivate myself. If you're looking for a pretty blog with aesthetic pictures of perfect notecards and artsy bullet journals, this is not the place, lol. I have terrible handwriting, and, seriously, if I had time for something like bullet journaling, I wouldn't need this blog XD.
My classes are:
AP Japanese
AP English Literature and Composition
AP Calculus ACE BC
AP Music Theory
AP Physics C: Mechanics
German I
Orchestra (highest)
Activities I'm currently involved in:
Orchestra
Japanese Olympiad
Japanese National Honor Society
Science Olympiad
National Honor Society
*Hoping to be able to audition for the spring play, I had to skip the fall competition show because of this mess
As you can tell, I'm hoping to double major in Physics and Astrophysics to some day become a researcher in High-Energy Astrophysics (Black Holes, Neutron Stars, etc), but really almost anything in Astrophysics, Theoretical Physics/Astrophysics, or Particle Physics.
I applied to 3 schools. I've been accepted to IU Bloomington and Butler University, and I'm still waiting on University of Chicago. UChicago is my top choice at the moment, I think, then IU, then Butler.
In the little free time that I have, I play violin, learn extra languages (I'm working on Spanish right now), read, and watch movies and TV. Check out my description on my main blog @lycanfang if you want to know a bit more about me as a person.
Maybe eventually I'll post about how I got here, but for now, I just want to get to it.
There are 38 days (counting weekends and holidays) until the end of the semester, and I want to do at least 3 productive things each day. That's less than how much I need to be doing to be where I want to be, but one has to start small with manageable goals. If you're in the same place, you can follow this blog to watch someone else try to get out of this rut so maybe you can too. I have no idea if this is going to work or not, but I'm going to try. Posting on social media is not really my thing, so who knows if this'll be right for me or not.
