Here’s a quick rundown of a monsters lifespan:

A common monster has a life expectancy of 700 years give or take. The oldest monster in record (that wasn’t a royal) was a Drake monster who lived 732 years.

They are considered infants/babies up until the age of two. Toddlerhood is from 2-6

Children are from the ages of 7-13. Most monsters start public school at ages 7-8

Teenagers are from 14-19. Monsters mature at a slower rate than humans, and so while the body may look grown in the later teen years, they have yet to develop sexual maturity until around 20.

Once 20 they are considered adults, but some subspecies can continue growing up till 30

After puberty in the early 19-22 range, a monster is considered a young adult from 25-190. You can compare those ages to a human in their early to mid 20s physically

Middle Ages range from 200s- 400s roughly

500s are considered older and retirement age, 600s are elderly. Anything past 680 is fragile

The lifespan goes down with halfbreed monsters ( “full” monster parent and “full” human parent) where they live around 600-650 years

The lifespan takes a bigger drop for mages who have an expectancy of 250 years. Witches (humans who have trained to use magic) are known to live up to their 130s if they aren’t soulbonded to a monster partner.

Monsters and half breeds born with the disease called dimming rarely live past their 400s

An exception to the monster lifespan are the “royals”. They take a ritual after being voted into office that binds them to their country, making it so that any decisions they make for the country has to be for its and the peoples benefit (as far as they believe), making them a servant to ebott for the rest of their lives, but extending their life and health in return. The ritual can be broken for the royals who wish to retire and die in peace. The oldest recorded ruler was rumored to be around three thousand

And now the crash!!

For those who don’t know what that is, it’s when all the AUs merged (and my excuse for why all these guys are in the same place lol).

The crash started 17 years ago, and ended within 9 months. Since then no other mystery groups of monsters have been discovered.

Here’s a brief timeline of ebott from crash until now

First day: the land mass that holds ebott appears

Day 2: undertale, underswap, gastertale,, dancetale, theatretale, templetale, all the “farm” AUs, “lust” AUs and the “outer” AUs

Month one: the bird AUs fall from the sky, the nomads stumble out of the forest and the sea AUs mysteriously arrive on ship to shore

Month two, after two months, most of the fell aus (underfell, swapfell, fellswap gold) appear

Month three, the factory (mafias) monsters appear along with the “ghost city” now inhabited and known as ebott city, the capitol. A few weeks later, the fallout monsters appear and ebotts first official hospitals are created

Month four, the royals are finally brought together after threats of inner fighting, and Asgore is voted in as the king

Things settle for four more months, and the new land is explored, vary basic laws are out into place, and things start getting divided into districts.

Month five: Ebott makes contact with several other countries and is introduced to the worlds currency system. Ebotts gold, silver, copper coins is recognized as a currency by the rest of the world

Month seven, the first and only orphanage is founded for any unclaimed children.

On month nine of the crash, the monsters finally access the underground, and to their horror, they find three separate chambers housing the starving horror AUs who had no idea everything that was going on above.

Month ten, land is sold and divided, and ebott begins creating large scale farms

May 20, 2007, ebott celebrates their first official year as a country. The capitol city is named new ebott (cause Asgore sucks at naming things and frankly the rest of the royals aren’t much better)

May 30th, the royal guard is finally re-organized

December 2007, ebotts first countrywide gyftmas celebration, also an official design for the flag and coins are voted on and implemented

February 2008, the first official jail is built and used in ebott lol

July 2008, ebott is finally let into the rest of the worlds internet, and electricity reaches more areas besides just ebott city

August 2008, ebotts children and teens discover tik tok, and it is unanimously decided by every one that a standard public school has to be created

Late august 2008, the first public school is finished in city center

September 2008, the number of school sites number around 300, and counting

January 2009, ebott state college is built and open

April 2009, the ebott scouts is formed, and children hoping to join the guard in the future are able to sign up.

March 2010, ebott is opened by presiding countries for international students and charity programs

November 2010, the following of lady magic opens the temple to the public, and takes over the maintenance of what used to be known as the horrors underground. A grotto is transformed into a place of remembrance for those left behind before the crash

May 2011, the core from the stable underground is moved to the surface and duplicated into several other power factories. All of inhabited ebott is at least within an hour of power

May 2012, the stable underground is open to the public as a tourist attraction. Ebotts is opened by presiding countries to tourism

February 2013, because of public pressure from mainly farm, bird, lusts and the temple monsters, human-monster marriages are now recognized under the state as valid

July 2013 A farm monster discovers how to successfully cultivate magic crops from the underground, aboveground. He shares the secret for free, and other farm monsters take initiative to start sharing their own crop secrets. He is awarded the title of prince.

January 2014 Due to complaints about side effects from human foods, money is poured into research about safer ways to process and preserve foods in ebott.

April 2014, mellowmart becomes the largest company in ebott, finally beating out Walmart in scale.

December 2016, ebott petitions to be recognized as a free independent country to the United Nations. Ebott is turned down

December 2017, ebott petitions again to be recognized as an independent nation

February 2017 Immigration into ebott is closed, and monsters begin boycotting imported human goods. The ebott navy is built.

July 2017, ebott is declared an independent nation

March 2018, the royals declare ebott self sufficient in feeding the country when the amount of food related exports finally exceeds the imports for the first time

July 2018, ebott celebrates its first freedom festival

October 2018, the first college dedicated to the arts is opened in the captitol

July 2019, magical spars are declared the national sport after a grueling battle between spar fans and pickleball fans

November 2019, the first echo festival is celebrated in Goldenvalley

February 2020, humans not born in ebott are finally allowed to apply for citizenship, and the process for that is created.

April 2020 the goldenflower festival is organized for the first time

September 2020, several big brands like coco cola, Hersheys and nestle are banned in ebott when complaints of health issues becomes too much

March 2021, Wendy’s becomes the first company to create a monster-safe fast food outside of ebott, and after months of testing, is given permission to sell. Many other food companies follow and begin making separate recipes for their monster customers

May 2022, snails are declared the national animal of ebott, and popular snail breeds are recognized and the society of the domesticated snail is created for shows and licenses

November 2022, a different country tries to declare war on ebott on the grounds of them “stealing” their young working force (immigrant workers). Ebott threatens to close borders to tourists, those coming for medical care, and all outside companies selling in their lands. The untied nations slaps down the country declaring war.

February 2023, a new branch of the royal guard, called the NPTRF (national people’s trafficking relief foundation) or more commonly called the reverse kidnappers by ebotts supportive teens, is founded to combat the rapidly rising issue of monsters and humans being trafficked and dragged outside the country

Of course, you can’t have Mettaton without the brilliant Doctor Alphys, so She too would get a fun Design. Of Course, because I love things making sense in 3D Space, this meant her funni dinosaur head would be aided by my experience drawing Sonic Character Quills XD

shy kisses for the alphi ship of your choosing!

Send me a Ship and a Number and I will Write a Kiss

21 - Shyly

Oh no, choices!!! I have so many ships with my boy!

Let's go with Alphinaud/G'raha!

Alphinaud had been trying to pen his letter for several hours. He was unsure how much to say. Unsure how much his mother would pass to his father. Unsure if he wanted either of them to know anything.

As such, he'd been left surrounded by crumpled paper, and his hands were stained with ink (as was one spot on his lips where he'd idly put the nib of his quill between them after dipping it in the inkwell). But slowly he was making progress. He had a few good sentences. Assurances to his mother that he would still be safe, and a promise that he and his sister were sticking together, at least for the time being.

"Alphinaud," the sound of his name caused Alphinaud to return to the moment he was in with a slight start, and after a quick blink, he realised that G'raha had not only entered the room, but crossed it to stand before him, all without him noticing. "You appeared malms away," Alphinaud blinked again as G'raha took his hand.

"I appear to be having some trouble with my letter," Alphinaud admitted. He moved his chair back at the unspoken request from G'raha, allowing the Miqo'te to push aside his work and sit upon the edge of the table.

"What is troubling you about it?" G'raha's hands were surprisingly soft as they smoothed their way through Alphinaud's fringe, soothing his anxieties somewhat.

"The same thing that has been troubling me since our meeting in Gridania,"

"Ah." G'raha nodded, his hands leaving Alphinaud's hair and dropping into his own lap. "I have no advice to give you. Regrettably, family is rather far outside of my area of expertise." Alphinaud hummed, managing to offer G'raha something of a smile.

"Even if it were, I fear there is little advice anyone could give that would soothe me. Your attempt is much appreciated regardless," Alphinaud hesitated for a moment, his ears colouring just a little. Slowly, giving G'raha plenty of time to stop him, Alphinaud pulled the other man down by the front of his shirt. Still, he hesitated an extra moment before kissing him.

It wasn't their first kiss, but it was the first that Alphinaud had initiated. And he couldn't silence the thundering of his heart. Pulling back, after only a few seconds, Alphinaud couldn't look at G'raha. Which only made it more surprising that G'raha lent in to kiss him once more.

ATAOAT Alphys Ref

Alphys is like... 200% smarter than le fou, but since every character is item-based, except that i didn't mention that undyne used to be a revolver- aND i'll explain the used to be part llllllaaaater. And I made her a quill! like a feather pen! and she writes fan fictions of plays that fall down into the underground, and she's obsessed with the stories and picture books that fall down. she's still a scientist, but her main focus is finding cures, not just... i dunno, experimenting on random stuff. the end of her tail is made of glass, and  the ink is inside! the splotched ink is part of her... scales? yes, much dinosaur.

A Tale as Old as Time is by @oki-joki (me!)

Please don't re-post, steal, trace, or anything of the sort!

[bonesofvaldis]

👀❤️ ohh what is this sleepytime au about? Can we get some info on them skele bois? :0

yeah of course! they're actually based off of a dream i had over a year ago now that started out as a nightmare. they both got me out of a situation where i was panicking and took me somewhere safe where paps looked after me until i woke up i actually don't have too much info on them as of right now but basically they are protectors of people within dreams. i'm gonna do designs for everyone else too (alphys first prob bc i actually have a name for her) as for other information ummmm i can tell you their forms are super flexible. being 'dream-based' so to say, they can change shape as needed in order to protect someone. it does take a lot of energy for them though. i've drawn Mello sort of doing this a little while ago.

their names are also based off things that remind me of sleep/are used to help sleep Mello (melatonin), Quill (tranquil) and Chamomile

i uh, haven't gotten too far with names yet skdjfhsf

[ ffxivwrite2021 ] ★ [ masterlist ] ★ [ prompt #8 - adroit ]

[ alphinaud/wol ] ★ [ 1,022 words ]  ★ [ post-canon ]

adroit- clever or skilful

there’s an art to deflection, one alphinaud thought it has fully mastered. unfortunately, his wife is even better at seeing through lies.

When the door to his office breaks the long, cold silence in the air with it’s soft creak, the man had been so lost in his focus that he’d failed to hear it - or the feather light footsteps that crossed the room towards the desk for that matter. 

It isn’t until he smells the sweet floral scent of chrysanthemum tea wafting into his nostrils that he lifts his feathered quill from his parchment and looks up, lips curling into a gentle smile as he looked at the oddly blurred array of snow white, blossom pinks and rich lavender purple. Had he truly been squinting so hard that his eyes couldn’t even focus on the love of his life now?

“Dearest.” 

He greets, and he resists the urge to rub his eyes or blink frantically to hide the tiredness of his eyes... but knowing who he was speaking to, that perhaps was a futile endeavor.

“Darling.” with a gentle nod she greets back softly, stepping up onto the lalafellin stool at the side of the desk to place the tea cup and saucer delicately onto the cluttered desk, parchment, tomes and documents scattered out so disorderly that the words upon that were turning into a blur. 

Alphinaud can already tell by the way Illya lingers by his side, leaning over and pressing her hands against the table that she’s paid him a visit during his hours of work for more reasons than to refill his tea... and he can make an educated guess, based on the choice of tea leaf.

“Chrysanthemum?” he asks, as if to confirm his suspicions while he sets his quill down to hook his index finger around the handle, lifting the cup up to his parched lips. The knowing smile that graces her face is all the answer he needs. 

“Ju Hua, yes.” her second language rolls off her tongue naturally, sweetly - sweeter than the tea he took a sip of. “I know it’s not your favorite...but...”

The young man cannot help the chuckle that leaves his lips, or the heavy exhale from his nose as he sets the tea back down onto the saucer. 

“Now I wonder why you would choose that, then?” 

Sarcasm laced tone evident, he knows that she knows that it’s a rhetorical question. The pair of them are several years past the point of trivial misunderstandings. The shimmer in her eyes reflecting the flickering candlelight is a dead giveaway as to the exasperation she feels towards his answer - or lack thereof. 

“Why indeed.”

Even though he knows better than to think he’d be able to get away with it - Alphinaud attempts to hide his fatigue by straightening himself up against the backrest of his chair, adjusting the frames of his reading glasses to rest higher upon the bridge of his nose. 

He moves to reach for his quill, only for him to catch the pout upon his wife’s face.

“You must be tired, sweet pea.” Her voice is equal parts chiding as she is concerned, and it shakes his already unsteady heart up more than it rightfully should.

“I’m alright, dearest. I still have plenty of energy to spare.” It’s a blatant lie through his teeth, one that he wouldn’t dare hope that Illya would believe... but perhaps she would trust him enough to know his own limits and leave him to his devices regardless. 

“It’s 2 in the morning, Alphy.” He recognizes the slight dip in pitch in her voice, and he averts his gaze from hers to look down at his half-written report. “You’ve been working on this for over 7 hours... You need to rest. The report will be fine unattended until morning.”

“And it won’t write itself, love. I’ll be okay.” 

His insistence is met with even more resistance, and he feels the gentle cradle of her hand against his own.

He knows full well her tactics, and refuses to look into her eyes even as he is forced to turn his head up. If lying won’t convince her then perhaps deflection will.

“Anyways, are you not awake too? I’m sure after a whole day of putting up with E’lija and Sigfred’s bickering, running errands around Revenant’s Toll and taking an emergency commission from Redolent Rose, you must be more exhausted than I am.” 

Alphinaud would like to think he’s gotten better at the art of deflection - at least better than he’d been back during the long passed years of the since ended Dragonsong war. Krile would most undoubtedly begin teasing him for it, but it’s an art he’s mastered well enough to navigate his way through talks and debates with experienced political figures, nation leaders and bullheaded adventurers - some of whom decades older than himself.

But with the gift of self-awareness and a now humbled outlook upon himself, came the added guilt of deceiving people that he cared for. 

He was an exceptional, charismatic speaker and diplomat... Which made Illya’s own extraordinary intuition and ability to understand the hearts and intentions of others keenly a perfect compliment and foil both for him.

And even if she wasn’t- she was the woman he’s swore to spend the rest of eternity with... and it was she, above others who would come to understand and pick him back up onto his feet when it felt like the world had crashed down around him. Illya knows him inside out - better than he even knows himself, sometimes.

“Alphy.” She calls him and pauses, forcing him to finally look up and meet the glowing ardent violet of her eyes. “Please? If you won’t sleep then... at least rest for a while.”

His shoulders drop, utterly defeated and he finally lets out a sigh and a nod, curling his fingers around her own.

“If that would please you.” 

“It would. Now come on, let’s go to the guest bedroom. Ours is too far.”

Rising from the desk, Alphinaud allows the lalafellin woman to pull him along by the hand, her footsteps quick and eager as they leave the office and the half-drunk cup of sweetened tea and inkwell behind.

Check the reading order to see how the other sides go as well as Credits.

Mettaton is now near the edge of the ring, armless and legless. Bass is just moments away from just kicking him over. Mettaton seemed to have accepted his fate, but then he looked to the side. The Ghost in the Machine seeing Napstablook being chased by the Broken King. Mettaton turns his head towards Bass and begs “please, if you must eliminate me, save Blooky!” Bass kicks him over the edge and eliminates him. As soon as Mettaton reached the bleachers, Alphys went right towards him ready to repair the damages.

Bass looks over to where that other robot was looking at. There, he sees a machine chasing after a ghost. He suspects the ghost is the Blooky Mettaton was talking about. Normally he wouldn't care, but then he noticed the machine. He recognized it when it was brown fighting Mecha Sonic earlier. But when it turned Purple it seems more interested in scanning Mecha Sonic. It reminds him of Dr. Wily, always looking at other machines for ways to create new Robot Masters to destroy Mega Man when he's right there. And that upsets him.

A swing from the Broken King's weapon lands on Napstablook. Normally, even with the highest LV, Napstablook wouldn't have been damaged since he's a ghost. But that robot's weapon has settings made to deal with ghostly opponents. Napstablook landed on the ground as the Broken King moves in closer. “Tell me the secrets of SOUL or else I'll extract whatever that is from you!” The Broken King raises his Electrified Mace up in the air when he got hit with a big blast in the back. This gave Napstablook the time to phase through the floor and eliminate himself.

Akuma moves in closer and closer to his opponent when he got tacked by a beam of light. It was Apple Bloom, now glowing green all over her body. The Green Lantern is now using the powers of both Rings. After tackling the Red Hedgehog at light speed, she turns at a 90 degree angle and is bringing him upwards to the sky. An instant later, she stops above the atmosphere of the planet and begins to spin her opponent around. The Green Lantern throws Akuma back down to the planet, breaking terminal velocity and plowing through the planet.

Akuma comes out from the other side, but Apple Bloom is waiting there. With both rings, she covers the sky with giant fists and proceeds to send them all down towards her opponent. As if each fist was a drop of rain, Akuma was pummeled by countless fists. By the time the Green Lantern was done, the land that was once a bumpy landscape was flattened into a smooth surface. The once rounded planet had a clear flat edge now. Apple Bloom hoped that was it. Considering his ally was able to fight a Red Lantern the Lantern figured he could survive it. But that had to have knocked the Red Hedgehog.

Instead, a shock wave of energy came at the center of Apple Bloom's target. She sees down below that the Hedgehog was still fighting, but something is different. Akuma's fur is a darker shade of red and his head has more quills than it did before. The Lantern didn't know it, but this is the new look of his Chaos Shin form. He flies towards her just as she decides to fly towards him, and before anyone knew it they collided fists (or at least the Pony Equivalent to it). The shock wave of the collision would have blown the remaining fighters out of the arena if it was in there. And each punch thrown was the equivalent to that.

Moonstone

Time Frame: Post Shadowbringers. No Spoilers.

Notes: Platonic Alvaar/Alphinaud. Featuring the best moonstone summon there ever was. All hail the carbuncle fluff. Glory to the glowiest and fuzziest neck warmer.

Cross posted to Ao3.

-

Twitching an ear as the doorknob to his room jiggled, Alvaar ignored it as he continued stitching together his latest commission. A second and then third attempt sounded before he sighed, left himself at a spot he could easily return, and rose to his feet.

Opening the door, he raised a brow as a brilliant white carbuncle slipped into the room, rubbing up against his leg and twining around his feet affectionately. It was only out of sheer familiarity that it didn’t knock the Bard over given the carbuncle was easily the size of a dog. Finally sitting practically on top of one of his feet it stared up at him expectantly with a soft chirp.

“Hey Carbi,” Alvaar greeted flatly, stooping over with a groan as he picked the rather large critter up. “Oof... I’m getting too old for this...”

Giving a low squeak, the summon almost seemed to give him a disapproving look before distracting itself by nuzzling into his neck.

“Yes, yes I know. ‘You’re not that old yet’ that’s what your master would say yes? Little chit,” he crooned sweetly, not surprised when it got a second grumpier chirp anyway. No matter what Alphinaud insisted about the nature of summoning and carbuncles, Alvaar would always remain unconvinced that they didn’t pick up some form of sentience. It was much of why he’d given the critter a nickname (though Alphinaud didn’t approve of it in the slightest.) The moonstone carbuncle in his arms clearly had enough intelligence to understand his words and pass judgment, often in alignment with the man who created him, so he thought it rude not to name it.

But for its intelligence, it seemed just a bit of cuddling and affection often resolved any upset in the creature (also rather like its master when it came to compliments but Alvaar would never say it.) Soothing a hand over silky impossibly plush fur, the Bard chuckled as the carbuncle purred and nuzzled closer still.

“Good to see you Carbi. I take it Alphi is working late again?” He asked, not expecting an answer as he settled into his worn out armchair and continued petting the foxlike creature he held cradled to his chest.

It wasn’t something that happened overly often, but occasionally the Scholar would decide to test his abilities and they’d have a temporary pushy housecoeurl on... well Alvaar’s hands usually. The summon was always well behaved around his master but once Alphinaud got too distracted with his work it would sometimes wander and settle into the Bards lap if he were nearby. A bit strange but Alvaar didn’t pretend to understand what made a summon work and Alphinaud had never had much in the way of explanation for him.

And for distracting as it could be, the carbuncle was still very sweet with its affections so Alvaar didn’t overly mind. It was an oversized fox that didn’t shed on his clothes and cuddled like human contact was what kept it running instead of aether. He could live with that. He adored Crowe after all, and the chocobo was much the same (though he would hazard a tad more deadly.)

Eventually he could end up with a massive glowy white neck warmer stretched across his shoulders and then he could probably go back to work if it weren’t too strenuous. Today however, he opted for a brush, plucking the soft horsehair brush from one of the drawers and setting to task. It was completely pointless given the arcane geometries involved (or whatever it was, he didn’t have a mind for it) which apparently meant not only did a carbuncle never shed, but it’s fur was pretty much always flawless. Regardless, the summon on his lap chirped happily and purred away merrily as he smothered the creature with affection.

It usually got him an even more obnoxious cuddle monster for his efforts with a lot of nuzzling into his hands and neck and often several licks for kisses. That was usually when he knew there wouldn’t be getting much else done unless he wanted to stuff what was essentially a medium sized dog into his shirt, so he’d generally resolve to a nap or reading until either Alphinaud came looking for his summon or, much more likely, it eventually poofed away into the aether and he’d have to check the time. The Scholar always ended up asking him roughly what time the carbuncle dissipated back into the aether anyway for his research.

Today, with a carbuncle stretched across his shoulders and one hand still scritching under a fluffy jaw, he looked up from his book and noticed the few flakes of snow dancing outside the window. Snapping his book shut with a sigh he rose to his feet and set it aside. A few licks to his fingers made him pause long enough to nuzzle and kiss a squishy cheek, getting another cheery chirp before the carbuncle settled down with a purr.

“It’s cold out today. Let’s check on your master hm? I bet he’s face down in documents again. One day Carbi, he’ll drown in ink and it will be the stupidest possible death I couldn’t keep him from. And it will make me sad because I’m a shitty mage and I’ll lose my best neck warmer.” Scooping up one of his spare throw blankets he folded it over an arm and made his way out of the sleeping quarters, taking the back way so he could loop around the Solar’s blueprint and make for the study on the other side of it.

De facto leader or not, Alphinaud had never seemed overly keen to using the Solar, preferring the easy access to books and research materials. It made finding him easy. If he wasn’t there, or sleeping, then he was with Alisaie or already at Alvaar’s side anyways.

Sweeping into the room he shut the back door quietly, glancing at his borrowed summon as it lifted its head and fixed its dark eyes towards some small corner of the massive study. He followed the cue without pause, steps quiet with his house slippers on and found his wayward charge quickly.

Predictably passed out on more research. Or paperwork. Or legal documents. Maybe even all three given they all looked the same to him at a glance when they were spread over the large table.

“Well, that explains the wandering,” he whispered even as a bright white head squished up against his cheek, squeaking quietly. “Mmhmm, yes Carbi I know he’s hopeless.”

Moving the quill and ink pot somewhere less disastrous, he let the throw blanket fall into its full length. A practiced flick of his hands sent it fluttering out over the Scholars shoulders. Alvaar made a few last fussy adjustments anyway before pausing to regard the youth-no... that wasn’t right. He was 21 now and if he didn’t start impressing that change to heart, he’d have Alphinaud giving him pissy stares the rest of his life he just knew it.

21 and growing up just as handsome as he’d warned him in spite of the weight of a worlds troubles on slim shoulders... but, he pondered to himself, perhaps the crushing weight of responsibility just brought out the stupidly handsome looks in Elezen if Aymeric and Estinien were any indication...

Or himself for that matter. Alvaar wasn’t modest, he knew he was hot.

He shook his head and before he thought it through was petting a hand over snowy strands, soothing Alphinaud’s hair from his face and studying his expression a moment.

Noting the faint furrow on his brow he sighed softly. Another very late-night working on something too important to leave.

“Better start on dinner and keep plenty of coffee ready hm?” he whispered, getting another sweet nuzzle at his jaw from the carbuncle.

Blinking as he caught himself still petting soft hair, the Bard snorted. “You’re both a pair,” he murmured quietly, smiling slightly as the summon licked his cheek.

“Yes Carbi, you can keep me company. You know your master works much too hard if he naps this soundly,” Alvaar mused, unsurprised that the Scholar was still dead asleep. He’d found Alphinaud and even Alisaie passed out in various parts of the Rising Stones before. Nothing short of cries of ‘politics’ or ‘adventure’ would rouse them without effort.

Maybe that was why he stood there a bit too long, petting white strands that were somehow even silkier if not as plush as the fur of the moonstone carbuncle purring away at his neck.

Alphinaud would probably die of embarrassment if he woke up and caught him.

It would just have to be the second potential stupid death of the day Alvaar couldn’t save him from.

“I can definitely arrange that!” You smile brightly. Gran is going to have a field day if she sees me request toys...oh well it can’t be helped. Taking out the journal and quill, you send a small pulls of magic into the blue stones scattered on its cover. They glow slightly before fading into a pale silver as the journal snaps open. The two monsters look over you shoulders, as you quickly begin to pin the message to your grandfather in a script they’ve never seen.

Seanathair,

I do hope you, Seanmháthair, and Athair are well. I’m sure you can guess my reasons for writing, but for formality’s sake I’ll explain. My new family is in dire need of supplies. If you and Athair are willing, please provide what is need.

The runes written fade as your grandfather’s lettering is inked onto the page.

So, you build up the nerve to offer your help, Gariníon. Good, it does my old soul well seeing you pursue what kept you from joining us here. We’re all more than happy to provide for you, and those you now care for. Tell us what is needed, and we’ll set up the ritual. I suppose you’d want to do a two way portal that will self sustain once the crystal are charged.

You smile at both Mutt and Alphys before you being writing once more.

That is indeed my plan. Thank you, Seanathair for this and for the other night. We’ve taken a stock of what is needed, I’ll send a list.

1. Foods and daily supplies for a months( I suppose we can set of monthly delivery, if that won’t cause any problems on your side)

2. Two dozen of each weapon Athair has available, and armor to match( I’ll also be sending weapons for repairs)

3. And finally an assortment of children’s toys

As you pen the last item on your list a slash of ink dances across the page before the replying runes appear.

A Stór! Why didn’t you tell me you found a lover! I can’t believe you! You’d think after all I’ve done for you, you’d at least tell your old Seanmháthair!!

You quickly try to reply to the script flying across the page, but you can’t get a single rune inked before more appear.

What? No-

This is why I want you here, sweetling!

That’s not-

You simply must bring the wee ones to visit! And the lover too!

SEANMHÁTHAIR!!!

What, dearie?

I do not have a lover! Now give the journal back to Seanathair!

Fine. Fine. Fine, but do write more often a stór. I don’t hear from you enough.

Alright. I will.

You sigh deeply, as the monsters look at you curiously.

“My grandmother. She can be a bit much.” You hazard another glance at the journal.

Everything will be ready by the time you have the ritual prepared, a chumann. It will be nice seeing you, if only for a moment. I send all my love.

It will be wonderful to see you, as well Athair. I love you too.

With a large smile you turn to Mutt. “As soon as the ritual is prepared, we will have our supplies.”

Clearing a large area of the cave, you being to set up the ritual. Seven large crystal, each corresponding to one of The Seven Saints, are set in a circle. You step into the center and trace a rune representing The Angel. You then connect each crystal with a line of smaller runes. Leaving a space between Determination and Perseverance, which is where you stand now. Calling upon your magic, you let it flow freely. Following the lines you made and causing each crystal to blaze with light. Soon enough the rune of The Angel flares to life, before the light shifts and wavers. In the shifting light three figures are seen. An ethereally beautiful male and a no less beautiful elderly, yet ageless couple. All are smiling. Your father speaks first. “I hope these weapons serve you all well, and for the weapons that needed mending please place them in front of Laurel.” Once the weapons are placed, your grandfather speaks.

“My family and I are please that we can be of service to you all. And we profusely thank you, for offering our Laurel a place among you. As soon as the light fades everything that has been promised will appear above The Angels rune. Oh, and Mutt was it? I believe that’s what Laurel called you. You wouldn’t mind catching her, would you?”

Moments after your grandfather uttered those words, you felt your consciousness slip away. You really hope someone catches you, stone floor isn’t very forgiving...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The ritual had gotten the attention of every monster in the cave.  They had all gathered to watch.  Mutt was still processing your grandfather’s words (and everything else) when he saw you start to go limp.  Black’s voice rang out across the cavern.  “Mutt, that means now!” 

That spurred Mutt to action.  He took a shortcut and just managed to catch you before you hit the floor.  

The light of the circle slowly faded.  Just as your grandfather had said, a pile of items--food, clothing, weapons, and toys--appeared just above the Angel’s rune.  

Black takes charge.  Mutt can hear him ordering people around, telling them where to take what and how to divide everything up. He sits on the floor with you cradled in his lap, wondering what exactly he is supposed to do.  You hadn’t warned him about this part.  

“Take her to her wagon.”  Once again, his brother’s words bore into his skull.  He looks up.  

“What?”

“That’s where her bed is,” Black says in a ‘don’t be stupid’ kind of voice.  “Go and put her in her bed.”

“Right.  Right...”  Mutt adjusts his arms around you and stands carefully.

“You can stay with her to see if she’ll wake if you like,” Black says, his tone a bit gentler now.  

“I will, yeah.” He starts walking toward your wagon with you cradled against his chest. Black’s voice stops him in his tracks one more time.

“Oh and Mutt?  If she does wake, thank her for me, will you?”
