Arslan Senki Holiday Exchange 2k16

For: Swan @swankitty - Who requested Daryun and Narsus or the whole squad, And a Canon, Modern AU or Mythical Creatures AU.

Happy Holidays!

There are many omens said to herald a great ruler - Strange sights in the sky, fantastical swords or shining lights, Omens and portends that prophecy their approach. It is rare that the omens themselves choose their ruler.

The Qilin of legend are good omens. Upon their appearance a great sage or grand ruler is sure to appear. The Qilin heralds peace and they foretells prosperity but their favor is not bestowed lightly. They pick their masters carefully because  there is nothing that can sicken a country so fast as the wrong ruler.

They are Daryun and Narsus for now - they have had other names before and they will have other names again, just like . The mantle of a name is an easily shed thing when you move through the mortal world like a leaf in the current passing the pebbles of a river. In this age they watch the empire fester with corruption in the priesthood and the nobility, slavery, treachery and light is a little prince - he’s barely even a candle’s flame. But he could be a beacon.

A tower of flame. A Golden King. A sun for a kingdom now so frequently in shade.

Daryun and Narsus set their tests and Prince Arslan meets every one of them. It is Narsus this time around that needs more convincing but in the end he is convinced. Daryun and Narsus take on the roles that this little prince needs, be it protector, teacher, father or sacrifice. They do as they always have done and become the wings to raise their king.

In time the world turns. The world changes and they do too. They are no longer Daryun and Narsus nor warriors and nobles but they are still together. Two leaves on a river. Perhaps the world no longer needs kings. But the world needs leaders.

There are many omens said to herald the coming of a great ruler. The Qilin are good omens.

[ask-narsus]

Are you taking part in the fandom week yet? There's already been a bunch of great submissions. Remember that they're accepting submissions up to a week after, so you've got plenty of time

[ask-narsus]

Have you ever tried selling your paintings?

And then after, once we’d left… well there are quicker and less noticeable ways to muster funds.

[berahthraben]

Arslan Senki Fandom Week - Love and/or Loyalty Elam for Day two. He is my most precious son.

[berahthraben]

Arslan Senki Fandom Week Day 1 - Clothing? Or is it Crossover AU? I’ve been reading a manga about a hatmaker. Either way I’m submitting this with one minute to spare and it isn’t the bath scene Daryun asked for, woops <3

[ask-narsus]

Is everyone taking part in the Arslan Senki Fandom Week? Don't worry about missing a day or falling behind; you've got a week after the actual day to submit your entries so get drawing/writing/cosplaying and all that other good creative stuff! I'm looking forward to seeing all of your submissions!! {{I'm taking part on my own art blog!}}

[ask-narsus]

Uhhhhh??? What music??? I don't hear anything D:

{{mun: When you visit ask-narsus.tumblr.com it should play a couple of songs. Everything seems to be working on this end but it’s been refreshed just in case. The only thing I could think is that it could be a browser compatibility issue?}}

[ask-narsus]

Lord Narsus, what would you do if Daryun and say Gieve suddenly decided to burn your paintings? Would they still be alive?

[ask-narsus]

i like the song that you play on your blog it makes me feel warm inside( sleepy ), what is it called?

They're actually music box versions of songs from the series - Uzu to Uzu by NICO touches the wall and  Lapis Lazuli by Eir Aoi

[pastellig]

So I got my friend to watch the Heroic Legend of Arslan…

[pastellig]

@ask-narsus how do you feel about being called a crotchety old man AND a bishie?

[ask-narsus]

(This blog’s Mun also thought that I would be a belligerent old man thanks to Daryun’s descriptions of me! He’s been spreading rumours about me whilst I’m not there to defend myself!) 

[ask-narsus]

Would you marry Daryun?

Who could marry anyone with such a flawed view on the arts!!

[ask-narsus]

Hey Narsus, how would had been your trip if Arslan and Daryun would be women? (Sorry, I needed to)

We actually discussed this scenario for Arslan here. So lets talk about Daryun- 

It likely wouldn’t make as much difference to his role as it would with the prince but he’d be unlikely to enter battle; if he was female his life likely would have taken a different path. If by chance he’d continued on to be a warrior, I think we could rely on Daryun to be a capable fighter in any scenario.

[ask-narsus]

My dear Narsus-sama, have you never meet Princess Shinrian? Which kind of woman is she?

I was pretty sore about being passed over when people were chosen for that diplomatic party, but there’s always another time…

[ask-narsus]

“Civilizations crumble, The lives of Kings and Men are fleeting. I know in my heart, it’s only art that will live eternally,“ 

Don’t worry everyone, It’ll be alright. 

{{Spoilers for the novels - The news from the new novel is pretty shocking. Not completely unexpected but so sad nonetheless. I wish it didn’t have to end that way, Poor Alfreed, Poor Narsus. ;;; w ;;; Arslan comparing Narsus as one of his ‘wings’ was just too much}}

[ask-narsus]

(Help me)

[ask-narsus]

What do you think about an alliance with Yona (from Akatsuki no Yona), since both Yona and Arslan are trying to take back their respective kingdoms?

Since we are both seeking to regain power, Neither of us are in a position to offer aid to the other.
