Chapter 1 of a novel i might write

Lyanna woke to see the fog crawling over the barren winter heath. To the north, the vast withered land stretched on for eternity until it reached the foot of a mountain and submit to their stoney facades and sharp edges. The sun had not fully risen from the soft bed of night, but it was stretching slowly over the tip of mountain to shower the land with shimmering warmth. She pulled the sheepskin closer around her body and tucked her frizzled golden locks behind her ear. Turning her head to the south she could see the Walls of Ardis, the limestone walls were the height of a ten thousand men stand atop one another, encircled by a man-made moat that ran three-hundred meters deep and with archer towers scaling the sky every 100 meters, it was impossible to scale. To attack was to commit yourself to a long and ardous siege, to waste away outside as lords and nobles feasted in the lofty castle with half-a-decade worth of provisions stacked in the cellars. The Ardis had only fallen once before when the Gate Master went rogue during the Revolution of 1512. She remembered that clearly, how her grandmother shook her awake hurriedly in the middle of the night, handed her off to a nameless knight that died a week later without so much as a word of goodbye. She wasn’t actually there when the city fell, but in her dreams she could see the silver pillars of the palace crumbling to dust. 

The bittersweet taste of jasmine tea swirled in her mouth as she gathered her belongings and covered her tracks. Lyanna was heading south towards Ardis. There would be a lone traveler clad in iron and a red cloak that boasts the Linari flag, he would be returning from the Battle of Skellegg that happened three weeks ago. His entire battalion was decimated during the fight, there was no one left in the military that knew Gavin Ferndrost. A prisoner of war returning to his home country, weak, mutilated, underfed. Most importantly, easy to kill. 

From the distance she saw her canaries returning from the south, stretching out her hands, she called out, “What news do you bring me?”

You must make haste, dear princess, Kori chirped, pack up your things and get on your horse. He has not awaken yet, but he will be soon. 

You exaggerate, he is still in bed with his whore, Mori interjected. I believe he will wake at noon, the earliest. He spent much of his silver on wine last night. 

“Is he with the beautiful one with the green eyes?” 

Yes. 

Lyanna strapped her bag to her brown thoroughbred and mounted the mare, “the poor beautiful girl, she’ll be waking up next to a corpse.” 

The wind swept landscape was welcoming and easy on the eye as her mare galloped through the heath made soft from last night’s rainfall. The occasional tree graced the horizon like a watchful guardian that provided shelter, warmth, and a landmark for travellers. As she found herself increasingly southward, the grass became taller and denser, they danced in the wind like a tribe receiving their chieftain back from a bloody war. The wilderness gave way to paved gravel roads and soon she began seeing snap bean farms dotting the scene. 

She reached her destination as the sun finally peaked its head over the mountains and stretched it’s sleepy form over the sky. From her shadow she saw that it was nearly noon. 

See, I told you to be quick, Kori gloated. 

Mori ignored her stinging jab, he’s on the third floor, you will have to climb, princess. 

Lyanna made her way around to the back of inn and found her way onto the roof from the seemingly forgotten garden in the back, a monstrously large oak tree reigned supreme over the weeds and stinging nettles. Gripping the thick branches of the tree, Lyanna climbed up to the third floor, her cape was caught among the branches as she jumped from the tree to a wooden ledge. A piece of mud covered fabric hung in the wind. 

Peering through the window Lyanna could see the solider’s injured body tangled with the porceline white limbs of the whore. Both were still asleep and their chests rising and falling peacefully. The man was younger than she expected, his sleeping face was a picture of youth, not a single wrinkle or worry line. Freckled cheeks and a long scar running from his collarbone to his chin. Around his neck laid a bronze medallion, a lotus encircled with words that Lyanna could not read from this distance. It must have been a memento, she wondered who gave it to him, was it a friend? A mother or a father? Perhaps even a lover. Whoever it was, it meant that someone, somewhere, dead or alive, was waiting for his return. His hair was short and dirty, covered with dirt and other grim he picked up during his travel. His arms were ropey with muscle, while she could see his ribcage poking out from his skin. Sores of all different shapes and sizes dotted his body like dandelions in spring, his left thigh was wrapped in bandages that looked fresh but blood was already soaking through, staining the bedsheets below him. 

The sight of a couple sleeping so serenely was stinging to her chest, it reminded her of Naruse and his equally freckled face. 

Silently and swiftly Lyanna vaulted over the window sill and made her way over to the bed, delicately she pulled out a small sewing needle wrapped in linen. The needle had been submerged in pufferfish blood while being forged to cool down the steel. In Roliah needles like these were called ‘Pufferfish’s kiss’ and were used to hunt boars and other large beasts. 

“Sleep gently fallen soldier, and walk peacefully through the shadowlands. Today is the day all your sorrows end, today is the day you leave your sword behind.” She whispered gently to herself as she slide the needle slowly into his left chest. 

He shall sleep peacefully but you never will again. Naruse’s voice passed through her like a ghost, leaving her cold and shivering. Like a scene from her dream, Naruse’s face was crumbling with pain, choking and grabbing at his chest. 

Lyanna gasped and stepped back from Naruse. He was reaching out to her, his black hair matted across his forehead in sweat, his blue kaftan wet with blood. All she could say was, “sorry.” 

Princess! You woke them! Kori’s voice rang her back to reality. 

Her hand was sticky with red hot blood, and she was shivering. Her limbs trembling as if she just scaled the walls of the Ardis. It wasn’t Naruse that was dying, it was the Naruse-like boy. The needle had gone in wrong, it had gone into his arteries. Lyanna watched as his grey eyes seeped with fear and confusion slowly dull as the pretty girl shook his shoulders. His expression was similar to Naruse’s. All men die in fear, so it seems. But what kind of expression did Naruse make? Did he look like that? She had thought initially that they looked similar but now searching her memory she could not conjure the picture of his face as he died. He didn’t have grey eyes, that is for sure. 

It was the whore’s scream that move her again, in one swift motion she unsheathed her dagger and lunged forward at her. She screamed as she fell off the bed and tripped over the sheets trying to reach the door. She screamed as Lyanna grabbed her legs to hold her still. She screamed as Lyanna begged her to be quiet, she continued to scream until she was dead, until the only thing pouring out from her mouth was blood.

Misc. Writings

three small pieces of writings written at different times in my life, found it in my notes app. 

Theres a girl in my Japanese class with a very outgoing personality. She’s very loud. She wears things that would have her labelled as a ‘weeb’ on tiktok and she can hold an entire conversation about expensive street wear brands based on knowledge from her instagram feed. Long black hair that goes almost to her waist, black framed glasses, pursed lips that curve slightly upwards. A flat nose that completes her look of childish arrogance. She's in grade nine and somehow is pessimistic enough to complain constantly about how hard her life is. She is quite entertaining sometimes, but most times she just reminds me of my past self. And it's very easy to hate the past. 

My boyfriend is a very serious person when it comes to his beliefs, so serious that it borders on annoyance. The way he talks about things makes him look stupid. Or maybe that was my preconception of him and just never overcame it. The way he talks to his only other close friend at our school is painful to witness. I do not think there is a part of him that I genuinely admire. When I force myself to think of good things about him, my only thought is of his patience and tolerance. If you asked me now I couldn't say that I love him. But if you asked the same thing two months ago, I might have said yes. Which is why I hesitate to leave him. My boyfriend lacks in talents, there's no school subject that he is good at. And the way he is prideful about his grades and how he refuses to receive help is absolutely disgusting. I don't like the things he laughs at and I think the music he listens to only further makes him unappealing in my eyes. I'm thinking of ending things. But I am afraid of regretting my choice, so I will wait to decide. 

I'm in love, I am in love with a very kind person. I think that when u love someone u become so engulfed in that feeling that you somewhat lose yourself, you almost forget that you are a seperate entity. It's so strange. I love how he's so kind to me even when I don't think I'm deserving of kindness. He's infinitely patient with my quickly changing moods and rapid waves of emotion. He's loving and doting. I find myself unable to live without him. I recognise that everyone says that when they're in love, but I feel as if a part of me is welded to him. I can share anything and everything with him, I can talk to him until the morning a.ms and I can get mad when I'm with him. I can be irrational, annoyed and vulgar. I can present my flaws as easily as I can present my virtues. He's honest with me, and I him. He's the reason my life is bearable, liveable, and the reason why I haven't left already. He tethers me here, to the earth, to this town, to his world. I'm scared that one day he will leave me. The fear sometimes is suffocating, like a pillow over my head, but he's always there to sooth and comfort me. I feel so guilty about the pain I've caused him, every time I've made him knit his eyebrows in frustration and every time he has deferred to the advice of a friend. I want to always have him in my life, even just as friends. Because I am so hopelessly and irreversibly in love with him. So even if this ends with me tearing out half my heart, I will know it to be worth it. Because life would be so poor and dull without him. So colourless and bleak. So come what may.

Around the Sims 3 | Sims 4 to 3 Cottage Living

There’s indeed some objects from Cottage Living that I’d like to use in my Sims 3 game! My first love has been for the pub couch, to which I’ve added a matching armchair & loveseat. My pub wouldn’t mind the framed pictures collection so I’ve converted them too. I also love the country iron stove. I’ve converted few kitchen clutter (a bit too Sims 4 to my taste, but quite OK). We always need a new table with cloth, right, so here’s one! And very weirdly, I converted the chair to have something to put around the table, but it’s typically the kind of too big object that doesn’t fit with Sims 3 aesthetics, so I’ll try to remesh it completely at some point, with our Sims 3 proportions. Last, I’ve also converted few city stuff: signs (I have never enough of these…. though, I begin to wonder now… :D), two new picnic baskets, the wedding arch, the phone booth… and what took me the most time: the lovely country bicycle with its basket you can fill with flowers! <3

It will be released on Around the Sims 3 the 13th of August. It’s available in early access for Patreons right now. 

(there’s a delay of 3 weeks because I once updated twice a week at my Patreon, but it shall be back to two weeks soon!)

[PART 2/2] I know I’m super late uploading a second part of my followers gift. Mainly because I kinda suck at building but this is cute right? It’s a fairy cottage I built for a supernatural save I have been working on, for ages. It is placed in Saint Greer Islands created by @gruesim​ so it will use most of the terrains, plants and shrubbery from that world. But I’m sure it wouldn’t be too hard to alter if you wanted to use it in other worlds. This is HEAVILY cc’ed so I did include a package file in the download folder.

LOT INFORMATION:

size: 30 x 25

2 Bedrooms and 2 Bathrooms, but could probably be altered to fit more?? I just did the bare minimum when it comes to the bedrooms since I ran out of steam. I’m sure you guys would do a better job!!

world placed in: Saint Greer Islands but should be good in any world - if you use SGI it’s placed on 1 Foxtail Trail. (Some images of the interior)

Lot download: here you goooo

TOU:

please tag me if you use this lot, “#kikigamer” I’d love to see what pics you take!

I don’t mind if you edit/change around the lot

DO NOT take credit for the cc since it was made by some awesome cc creators who deserve the credit.
