Sargon was a weapon. And like a weapon, he had been forged by searing flames and unbearable heat; his hardships made him a more formidable warrior. This also meant, like a weapon, he knew he was only useful if he could fight and defend. Weapons that broke were smelted back into molten metal, or were placed on display and forgot about in some nobleman’s house, gathering dust as it had gathered kills during its prime.
Sargon was a broken weapon.
A new AU that I’ve been torturing @kaihoney and @gryffintheparrotcat with. It’s called “More than a weapon” AU! Read more for context:
Spoilers underneath!
GRAPHIC DEPICTION OF INJURY
“Sargon would be lying if he’d said he knew what attack Vahram had thrown at him caused it, but whatever had happened, it left his arm a mangled mess, barely even recognizable as human.
Ghassan had stressed how Artaban and Neith did everything they could, but the Wak Wak tree wasn’t healing it completely. Apparently, there is only so much the Wak Wak tree could heal. By the time they had realized the tree wasn’t healing that particular injury, necrosis had begun to take hold, and it left them with no choice but to amputate the arm. Despite not being able to heal the initial injury, that damn tree was able to heal the worst of the amputation itself. However, like the stab wound through his shoulder, it didn’t heal fully and Sargon could feel the uncomfortable pull of stitches when he moved his arm back down.”
A little snippet from the fic I’m writing for this AU! I’m hoping I caught the primal horror and awful realization on Sargon’s face. I was speaking with the other squirrels and had agreed that Sargon primarily uses his right hand (fighting doesn’t count since he dual wields).
I have more planned for this AU. It’s full of hurt/comfort, whump, etc. My poor boy is really in for it

I haven’t played PoP game since the 2008. I'm a fan of the series, the graphic novel, and of Ancient Persia history and the mythologies it brings. I can't wait to see what Sargon, the Immortals, and the devs bring.
Hi i just wanna say then i love this artist @salmontooth (sorry didn't ask you if i can take your art. I'm very very VERY sorry🙇🙇🙇) his art with Prince of Persia, with sargon and ghassan he so cool
( Also you can say my voice is terrible😅. It's just english is not my real language, I'm french🇨🇵 but i prefer speak english🥰)
I find it so funny that Sargon, the chosen royal name of the ancient Akkadian king, means "legitimate king".
Hello there everyone, my name is legitimate king. No need to be suspicious about how I came power. I'm the legitimate king. See, it says so on my name tag.
