King Magnifico Backstory Part 3

Part 2

On the Princesses 18th birthday, a strange messenger came to the castle, with a desperate plea.

"Princess Maroula, my mistress, the Keeper of the Wishing Stars, who granted both you and your father life, needs your aid. There is a quest that only one such as you can fulfill. A dangerous quest but a necessary one for the good of all people within this world and the EverRealm. She has done what she can herself, but her gaze is stretched thin by her obligations. We ask that you leave as soon as possible, if you are willing to come and aid us.”

And the princess, always kind of heart, and remembering the conversation in the garden all those years ago was willing

But her father was not.

“How dare your mistress ask this dangerous task of my daughter! She knows the perils that exist in that realm, that befell me. She did nothing to aid me in my troubles, why should she ask to place my daughter in peril now?”

“The Blue Lady is young, in the way of her people, she had only recently taken over this charge when your misfortunes befell you, and she has sorrowed over them ever since. She granted you your daughter in part as penance for that failure. But still she has her duties, and she has foreseen a threat that only as deeply linked to Wishes as Maroula is can combat. Would you see an entire realm suffer for what was done to you?”

Maroula knew the anger born from his past heartache, which her father usually tried to keep under control, beginning to rise, and tried to sooth him

“Father, I am willing to go. You and Mother have taught me well in both the use of magic and the need to be generous in helping others. Please, let me go and help the Lady. How can I call myself a princess of Rosas and not do so?”

“No Maroula!” The King cried, his fear for his daughter and anger getting the best of him. “I won’t allow it! What right has this fairy to grant my greatest wish, give our happiness tangibility and then take it away!”

“She’s not taking me away Father, she’s only asking that I—“

“Enough!”

The king turned and dismissed the messenger coldly from his sight, demanding that it never return, for his daughter would not be going to the other realm, now or ever.

“That choice is the Princess Maroula’s.” The messenger said as it left, unfazed by the king’s anger. “She is a woman grown now, able to make her own choices, even if they are not what you would choose for her. If she wishes to go, then she may go”

“Then I shall insure she cannot!”

And with that, the king used his magics to open up a room, deep deep beneath the castle, a room he had discovered upon taking claim of the castle, (a room where he had found a dangerous and deceptive tome of magic). Here he wove about with his spells and enchantments so that he was sure no star’s light could find his daughter.

“I don’t wish to leave you here Maroula, but I must keep you safe, at all costs. Let that other place deal with its own problems. You will stay here until you’ve learned to see sense”

And so the king left his daughter crying in the dark, as his gentle queen cried in the palace above, torn between supporting her husband in keeping their daughter safe from unknown danger, and supporting her daughter’s generous wish to help

What neither realized, is that there was one small opening within the dungeon, a keyhole that the king had failed to account for, a keyhole through which a single thin strain of starlight came through and found the weeping princess. The princess beheld the light, and taking the power within her, she wished upon the star

And the star answered

But what came after for Princess Maroula is a story for another time…

The king and queen sought day and night for their daughter, but even with all his powers, either the power of the Lady of the Wishing Stars was greater, or Maroula was using her own to avoid her father’s search. Even his wishing her back did nothing. And so the king and queen fell into despair, knowing their daughter was lost forever.

Is this the thanks I get for granting everyone else’s wishes all these years? To have my own daughter run from me? I’ve cared for her from the day she was born, given her everything and and she still decides to defy and disrespect me with this rebellion?!”

At last, the king, letting his anger over this perceived betrayal overcome his grief, decided that they could no longer go on as they had, and so he crafted a spell that would enable them to move forward

He asked his wife to give to him her wish for their daughter’s return, gifting it to him to hold onto until it could be granted. And as Amaya gave him her wish, trusting that one day it would come true—the memory of her daughter left her entirely, along with the grief of her loss. Letting her forget without the weight of regret…

From then on, the king utilized this spell whenever it came time to grant his people’s wishes, holding on to them in perpetuity, instead of granting them on sight. Having lost the love of his daughter, he tried to substitute it with the love he felt imbibed in each wish as he guarded them, keeping them safe as he couldn’t protect her. Each person who gave him their wish forgot it, and so Magnifico intended to ensure that not only would no unworthy wish be granted, but no wish would lead to the heartbreak he had suffered

Despite his anger at his daughter, over the years he took many other apprentices, seeking to fill the void she had left, even granting their and their families wishes when he usually would have declined to—but none of them ever filled the place of his beloved Maroula.

And as the years passed, his anger over her loss, the heartbreak of his past, and his frustration over watching everyone’s wishes be granted but his own began to harden the king’s heart, and a darkness grew beneath his pristine exterior, waiting for the day until he felt threatened enough in his power and control to break loose…

Avm crew meeting torquise

Here's their designs (btw they all wear pants)

i don't care about pants

[chasindbae]

You've come upon a Dwarven Gemcraft Relief!It depicts a beautiful Dwarven woman with the sigil of House Helmi, Her hair is strung with lines of gold made of the same streaks of glittering gold as the background before which she poses. It is said to be the perfect likeness of which few self portraits ever attain. Behold, my dwarven noble beauty, Oroka Helmi, who is from a group of dwarves, denoting those who express a highly sought after, recessive trait they refer to as Hfer'Viorgor: Ore Gifted. This trait is not well understood and endures further mystery due to Orzammar's declining population. These Ore Gifted individuals express colors in their hair, skin, and eyes, which resembles, in intensity, ore wrought from ground. It can manifest in patches, with patterns growing and fading through the dwarven individual's life. Anyway, I hope you guys like my little idea for just some fun with beautiful dwarven design and was inspired for a new character. She takes the place of the girl Trian was engaged to in the game, she does indeed fancy torquise, but Oroka's mother asserted that her noble depiction will be doubling as her marriage display, and soft blues and reds are the mark of the powerful. I call it Dwarven Gemcraft Relief, a concept i amused myself with when looking over designs and imagined the extent of the beauty of dwarven art and I think they would be able to, without magic, to be able to crate strange, wonderful pieces of gem, glass, and ore. Though they're in no way cheap but they're popular among those with the funds to indulge them for they were able to be used in noble portraiture. A self aggrandizing gesture among deshers and varible popularity contest among the young and vain in which a stately portrait capturing the lord or lady 'in their prime' and how to be depicted in memory and record.

[edjidey]

Can you draw my oc torquise :3

wh- weren't we- Again.. Wth 😭.........

Guys we-... We've already talked about this, seriously?..

No I.. I know that for the first time I drew a request. BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME 😭🙏... I thought like- “Oh, request, well, maybe this person just really liked my style. Well, so be it, I’ll draw it.” But not you guys sending me more and more requests for draw your ocs💀

Like.. Srsly, Do I look like a person whom you can ask for anything? I don't understand, is this really something normal among you?

If I were... I don't know. If I were a person with, for example, 100k subscribers, would you also calmly ask me to draw your character? If it really doesn't make any difference to you then- I don't know... Maybe there really is something wrong with my opinion on this, but that doesn’t change the fact that I’m a little shocked.

do you guys even know what commissions is...
