sharing something i wrote cus the topic of writing reminded me
pwease no hate :pleading_face:

The King leaned back upon his bronze throne. He sighed deeply, putting his head in one hand as the sounds of battle raged outside his grand hall.

King Calvus the fourth, ruler of the Ravenna Realm and high lord of the Order of the Aesir, was just about done with being ruler.

The death curse was stolen; Elius, Argos, and Carina were all found dead, and Revon stole his favourite thigh highs last night.

Calvus’s thoughts drifted


At least Commodore Kai came out as gay, he might have some chances


The sounds of glass shattering and a massive explosion pulled him out of his fantasies. The intruders were storming his castle as he sat, making their way to his throne room.

Of course, he could just go out there and help Julian and the guards nuke them to ashes, but that would be rather anticlimactic. Many things could be said about the King, but nobody could say he didn’t have a flair for the dramatic.

The sounds of shouting and footsteps neared his throne room, and he quickly sat up straight in his throne and cleared his throat.

While Julian and the guards laid down their lives in the name of Ravenna, Calvus had been busy preparing a dramatic speech to deliver.

The doors slammed open as two people dashed inside, their bloodsoaked boots slamming persistently into the floor, long signalling their approach.

Only two? Calvus thought. Good, Julian must’ve dealt with the fodder.

“Well well well
” Calvus’s deep and imposing voice boomed throughout the grand hall. “So, you’ve actually managed to reach me
 The infamous Captain Caraway, killer of General Argos and-”

“It’s CAPTAIN Caraway.” Caitlyn Caraway’s shrill voice rudely interrupted his moment.

“That’s
 what I just said.” Calvus’s face drops.

Caitlyn “Captain” Caraway looked confused, and, as Calvus might’ve suspected, rather intoxicated.

“Ahem, anyway. Believe me, I was furious. But that anger was nothing to the rage I felt when I saw that the Death Curse had been stolen right from my grasp
 Since the thief so politely decided to show up to my front door, I suppose I’ll just take the Curse back with a Devourer, after I kill you all.

That annoying girl, the Curse Thief, this sorry prince, and you, all of you must die for the crimes you have committed against my kingdom.”

Calvus teleported before Neviro and impaled him in the blink of an eye before teleporting back to his throne.

“Now that the fodder has been taken care of-”

“Shut up.” Caitlyn interrupted, once again rather rudely.

“What
?”

“You talk too much.”

Calvus glowed with all the power of an enraged monarch. “I talk too much? I TALK TOO MUCH? DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO I AM???”

He raised an arm, a glowing magic circle appeared above his hand radiating power. More and more magic circles layered itself atop his hand, filling the room with an intense, almost overwhelming power.

“I AM KING CALVUS THE FOURTH, RULER OF THE RAVENNA REALM, FIRSTBORN SON OF KING OCTAVIOUS CAESAR. MY GREAT GRANDFATHER SINGLE HANDEDLY LAID WASTE TO THE KINGDOM OF WINTERVEIL AND I HAVE INHERITED HIS POWER. YOU REALLY THINK YOU COULD STOP ME-”

Pow!

Calvus fell over, a bloody hole appearing dead center on his forehead. The magic circle above him harmlessly dissipated into the air.

Caitlyn stood with a musket in hand, smoke coming out from its muzzle.

“Keep it to twenty words or less.” She said as she turned around to leave.

Before leaving, a glint of arcanium bronze caught her eye.

“Oooooh
 Nice crown.” Caitlyn took the crown from Calvus’s corpse and put it on her own head.

“Now let’s get outta here, Neviro.”

Neviro screamed in agony as he bled out on the ground.

“I own a bronze musket for home defense, just as the arcane fathers intended. Four metamancer break into my brig,‘what the Mimhere?’ as I grab my blasted power amulet and tempered bronze musket. Blow a piercing shot through the first man he’s dead on the spot, draw my flintlock on the second man and miss him entirely because i used rapid fire, and nail the level 50. I have to resort to the power shot mounted at the top of my keyboard. ‘Tally hoe lands!’ and 2 of the men are shredded in the blast, the aoe aggros the navy from miles around. draw my atlantean mace on the last terrified rapscallion and he bleeds out waiting for the police because bleed two is impossible to survive. just as the arcane fathers intended”

Dying curse user is worse opponent that alive one

ah hell nah “Revon stole his favourite thigh highs last night”
