[daylightisminetoconsume]

Brain's a bit tired, I'll answer more threads later!

[daylightisminetoconsume]

(Iben fell onto her knees. She was shaking from exhaustion. She looked almost sickly. Blood dripped from her nose, it was so dark it looked akin to tar)

Gunmar didn't seem to see her.

He stared in astonishment at the heartstone, reaching out a hand toward it.

But he held himself back from it.

"The younglings have never seen a heartstone before." he said quietly, "They will not believe their eyes."

[daylightisminetoconsume]

(Around halfway, iben became visibly fatigued but she continued. Her eyes watering in pain. Then with all her remaining strength, she finished the transfiguration with a burst of magic, briefly blinding everyone within half a mile)

Gunmar lifted a hand to shield his eye from the blinding magic, standing back in astonishment to look at his new Heartstone.

[daylightisminetoconsume]

Empress Bloodmoon was thinking of getting pregnant again, but she wasn’t sure who would sire the young this time.

Gunmar is playing tug of war with Blackmoon, Asmodeus and Tomoko, holding the rope in his jaws while the children pull on the other end.

Every so often he takes a step forward, just to give the children some encouragement.

He notices his mate looking thoughtful and smiled, giving the children chance to yank the rope from his jaws.

Gunmar laughs, nuzzling his children until they're all on their feet.

[empressbloodmoon]

The children giggled and nuzzled their father in return when Blackmoon’s first tooth came out!

Asmodeus gasped and covered her younger sister’s eyes! “AUGH!!! His tooth came out!!!” She shrieked.

“Whoa whoa! It’s ok Asmodeus!” Empress Bloodmoon reassured, putting a hand on her daughter’s shoulder. “Your brother’s at an age where he sheds his baby teeth, and grows in his adult teeth.”

“Oh.” Asmodeus muttered, looking back at her younger brother. “I suppose that makes sense.”

[daylightisminetoconsume]

Gunmar was proud of Asmodeus for being worried about her brother. He patted her on the head.

"Soon, your adult teeth will grow in. And once they start, you are never without teeth!" Gunmar declared, because adult trolls regrew their teeth as needed.

[empressbloodmoon]

Empress Bloodmoon smiled at the fact that her children were getting along quite well, and wondered if they would be willing to accept another one. She would have to consult her husbands first.

Just then Fujimoto came in with a sleeping Meville in his arms. “What was that noise I’ve been hearing?” He asked quietly, careful to wake up his youngest.

[daylightisminetoconsume]

"Our son lost a tooth!" Gunmar kept his voice low, but there was no hiding his pride, "It is Gumm-Gumm tradition to keep his baby teeth and make something of them. A necklace, a bracelet, some wearable item. A treat is usually given in exchange for the tooth."

He approached and leaned down to press a kiss to his sleeping child's brow, knowing they were safe in their father's arms.

[abigor-god-of-evil]

"Come with me." Gunmar ordered, guiding Abigor into the kitchens.

The god was now 6 months in, his stomach was very much out to the point of waddling around, he was supposed to be at home but snuck out.

“Hmm, okay” he slowly followed moving as fast as he could.

[daylightisminetoconsume]

Pudd seemed to sense his affectionate thoughts. She stood up and pressed a kiss to Abigor's cheek before nuzzling him.

Strewth grumbled out a growl, not from jealousy, but because he wanted to put Abigor in bed and Pudd was getting in the way.

"Sorry, Captain." The lower ranking thrall retreated, folding her hands neatly in front of her.

[daylightisminetoconsume]

(Iben took a deep breath and placed her hands on it. Magic pulsed into the stone with a steady rhythm. Splotches of heartstone started to spread through the stone)

"Yes," Gunmar murmured, his eye flashing with unrelenting greed, "Yes! More!"

[daylightisminetoconsume]

Empress Bloodmoon was thinking of getting pregnant again, but she wasn’t sure who would sire the young this time.

Gunmar is playing tug of war with Blackmoon, Asmodeus and Tomoko, holding the rope in his jaws while the children pull on the other end.

"Soon, your adult teeth will grow in. And once they start, you are never without teeth!" Gunmar declared, because adult trolls regrew their teeth as needed.

[daylightisminetoconsume]

(iben looked at the river then back at gunmar)

which large stone should i transfigure into a heartstone?

Gunmar considered for a moment before selecting a massive tower of rock. A few skulls and chains were hung on it by some decoration-minded thralls, and he pulled them away, leaving the rock bare and exposed.

"This one." He ordered.

[riiri33337]

Tiny blinky tiny aaarrrgghh

[extra-star-storage]

Let them have some fun. They're only kids, after all.

[abigor-god-of-evil]

"Come with me." Gunmar ordered, guiding Abigor into the kitchens.

The god was now 6 months in, his stomach was very much out to the point of waddling around, he was supposed to be at home but snuck out.

“Hmm, okay” he slowly followed moving as fast as he could.

[daylightisminetoconsume]

Gunmar went to the smokehouse, opening it up and taking out a haunch of smoked stalkling.

"Eat." Gunmar said, "You must maintain your strength, for the demi-god."

[abigor-god-of-evil]

He grabbed the haunch and slowly started to eat it, he was bit confused on the taste. Mainly because he has only been eating sweet treats ever since he got cravings.

“Thank you, uh you are not gonna tell Pudd or Strewth about this right?”

[daylightisminetoconsume]

Gunmar actually smiled a bit.

"Are your mates keeping you on a short leash?" He asked, as if it were an experience he understood well.

[abigor-god-of-evil]

“Yeah, ever since I actually started to waddle instead of walk. They have been keeping me home and not allowing me outside.”

Abigor swallowed the meat in his mouth “They usually take shifts watching me, but they both had patrol today. So they don’t even know I left”

[daylightisminetoconsume]

"I'll have you back before they know you are gone. But it is not good to keep a mother cooped up. If your legs tell you to wander, you should wander. So tell me, do you hope for a son or a daughter?"

Gunmar's tone was conversational.

[abigor-god-of-evil]

“I don’t care, besides if the child is more like me. Then they will have both genders, and it I’ll be their choice to pick their gender”

Abigors tongue started to feel wrong, so he placed his hand on a table and made a pineapple appear, he snapped his finger and the fruit was now in bowl cut up.

Grabbing one he ate it cheerfully, having now a sweet & sour taste on his mouth instead of just bitter meat.

[daylightisminetoconsume]

Gunmar jolted at the sudden appearance of the pineapple, sniffing the air uncertainly at the sight of such a bright thing in his dismal kingdom.

"Ah, so you are both God and Goddess." he didn't seem the least bit interested in the topic of onversation, steering it instead back to the child.

"Tell me, will you raise your cub as a troll?"

[abigor-god-of-evil]

“Yes I am, biologically.” He continued to eat the pineapple “that depends, raising a Demi god child is not as easy. Sometime they must be raised as a human, sometimes gods, and other times what they are mixed of”

He grabbed a chair and sat down with a huff, his legs swollen from standing up for so long “there is no correct answer, is all depends how your child responds to their living conditions”

[daylightisminetoconsume]

Gunmar didn't like that answer, but his expression remained placid, he would've preferred a little more certainty.

"If it is half wormbeard worm beard, you may very well have a birthstone instead of a baby. An egg."

[abigor-god-of-evil]

“I know that is a possibility, but there is a chance for a live birth. I can’t tell because i haven’t felt anything from the baby yet”

He rubbed his stomach before sighing. “You know, being pregnant is a difficult thing to do, but I would have definitely given birth to all my children if I had a wife before hand.

[daylightisminetoconsume]

Gunmar stared at Abigor's belly with something almost like....envy.

His jaw worked up and down for a moment before he tore his gaze away.

"What else do you intend on doing, with your brief freedom?"

[abigor-god-of-evil]

“I was actually just trying to get from the house for a bit, been cooped up in there for about 3 weeks” he finished the bowl of fruit, before finishing the last of the stalkling meat.

“I actually have no idea when they get back from patrol, I better start my way back” he slowly stood up from the chair hissing a bit before sighing.

[daylightisminetoconsume]

"Allow me to escort you." Gunmar insisted, stepping beside Abigor. He dropped to all fours, The most evil troll alive, walking next to the god of evil.

[abigor-god-of-evil]

He chuckled and before settling his hand on Gunmars back, using it as a base as he walked back. Naturally he would have a lot of stamina, not being able to get tried as much but due to the child he was slower and started to lose his breath faster.

[daylightisminetoconsume]

Pudd and strewth were waiting for him. Pudd had her hands on her hips and Strewth had his arms folded. Pudd was tapping her toes impatiently.

"Abigor," Pudd scolded, "You had us worried! You---"

She and strewth both froze when they realized Gunmar was with him. Immediately, they stood at attention.

Gunmar rumbled an acknowledgement to them, signalling as much as he ever would that they could be at ease.

[abigor-god-of-evil]

Abigor has a sheepish look on his face as he slowly walked towards them. He stood in front of them, hands playing with themselves. “I just needed a day out”

He scratched at his head while biting his lip.

[daylightisminetoconsume]

Gunmar saw that the thralls weren't going to speak freely with him around, so he took his leave.

Once he was gone, Strewth scooped up Abigor, bridal style.

"Back to bed, with you." came a low growl.

Pudd however, tilted her head. "We could go for walks, if you'd like."

[the-lovely-yoshi]

They’re doing couple stuff.

[daylightisminetoconsume]

HE'S GOT THE RELAXED EARS THAT MUST BE A REALLY GOOD RUB

[abigor-god-of-evil]

"Come with me." Gunmar ordered, guiding Abigor into the kitchens.

The god was now 6 months in, his stomach was very much out to the point of waddling around, he was supposed to be at home but snuck out.

Gunmar rumbled an acknowledgement to them, signalling as much as he ever would that they could be at ease.

[ask-madam-ruby]

"RUBY!" Gunmar will bellow out her name, summoning her.

She rushes to Gunmar’s throne room. She kneels before him. “Yes, my lord?”

[ask-madam-ruby]

She wanted to know so badly why his being so nice to her? Is he going to do something to her? Or to Dictatious?

“Thank you sire for being so generous.” She took a bite of her cake, it’s warm, sticky and sweet. And good. Very good.

“My lord? May I ask you a question?”

[daylightisminetoconsume]

"You may."

[ask-madam-ruby]

“You’ve been so generous to me. Which I appreciate it. The question is, why?” She was careful with her words. Walking on eggshells. She looks a bit nervous.

[daylightisminetoconsume]

"You have been a more faithful servant than Kodanth. You have given Dictatious strong whelps. You have not wavered in your loyalty. Should not such a thing be rewarded?"

Gunmar returned his attention to the honeycake, licking the last of the crumbs from the plate.

[abigor-god-of-evil]

"Come with me." Gunmar ordered, guiding Abigor into the kitchens.
