*After Kain vanishes, leaving the empire in the hands of his sons*
Rahab: Turel?
Turel: Yes?
Rahab: You don't suppose Kain is doing this on purpose, do you? Keeping back, I mean, so that we have to form a team and work together?
Turel: Why would he do that?
Rahab: So we develop insights and pull together and learn valuable lessons.
Turel: No, I don't reckon Kain would be thinking that, because that's soppy garbage.
@asktranquilrahab
"Keep it together Rahab. Not everything has a lesson in it."
Sooo... how are things in the Crucible? Did you make anything extra noteworthy, My Lord?
āIām planning on a machine to secure our defenses - sending a barrage of bolts to a triggered location. Because apparently beings of unknown origins continue to intrude within my chambers!ā
Turel stared at them, hinting that they should leave before he beings slaughtering.
You really hate Raziel, donāt you? Were you jealous of him? Glad that he was executed and that you had a hand in casting him away directly? Youāre one of the more petty brothers, arenāt you.
āRaziel had struck nerves the past years, but that was just who he was. We had our rivalry but it never brought complete hostility or grudges - at the very least from me. I follow Lord Kainās orders to the last letter - has always been since I was born. It did not mean I relished in his execution.ā
A taloned hand waved for the guards to arrest the anonymous antagonist and bound them in chains. Though walking away, Turelās head turned, eyes piercing.Ā āHave their tongue removed for their intrusion and hang them for the blood to drain. My children will need their strength.ā
YO TUREL, I HEARD YOU LIKE LOUD NOISES-
The towering clan lord stares death into the grey anon man.
āBoy, if you plan on invoking my ire...ā
ONE OF MY FAVORITE COLD OPENS EVER
I laughed out loud in Starbucks because of this
This is a masterwork of storytelling which is also a rollercoaster from beginning to end.
iām simpleā¦.this is my fav character dynamic

((Fuck))
((Y'all know who the little bastard are))
@asktranscendentzephon
((You cannot tell me this isnāt Zephon bursting out of a cake for Turel.))
āLetās turn around. Hunt somewhere else.ā - blue-shifted
His brotherās suggestion brought a stubborn grunt, though subtle it was. Their hunting grounds grew barren over the years, not just of wildlife but feral humans that wished to reside in seclusion from the Empireās rise.
Leather clad arms crossed as Turel studied across the grounds.Ā āLet us give the hunt another hour. Iām certain thereās at least one life roaming.ā

11.Ā āTry again. Once more. There is very little time left. Hurry.āĀ
12.Ā āTry again. The spell was wrong, but there was true magic in it. Try again.ā
13.Ā ā______, you deserve the services of a great wizard, but Iām afraid youāll have to be glad of the aid of a second-rate pickpocket.āĀ
14.Ā āDonāt look back, and donāt run. You must never run from anything immortal. It attracts their attention.āĀ

18.Ā āYou may come with me, if youād like. Though I wish you had asked for some other reward for freeing me.āĀ
19.Ā āDid you see me? Were you watching? Did you see what I made?āĀ
20.Ā āWhere have you been? Where have you been?! Where have you been!āĀ
21.Ā āYou canāt come with us, weāre on a quest!āĀ
22.Ā āNever! I, _______ the magician, forbid it! And be wary of wousing a wizardās wrath⦠Rousing a rizardās⦠rous⦠be wary of making a magician angry!ā
23.Ā āIām sorry. But you were going the wrong way, ______.āĀ
24.Ā āWhat can I do? Do you think ______ likes card tricks?āĀ
25.Ā āWhat have you done? What have you done?āĀ

27.Ā āBut itās only for a little while, I promise you. Soon youāll have your true shape again forever.āĀ
28.Ā āYou are losing my interest, and that is very dangerous.āĀ
29.Ā āAh, yes. The sea is good. There is nothing that I can look at for very long, except the sea.ā
30.Ā āWhat is the matter with your eyes? Why can I not see myself in your eyes?ā
31.Ā āYou may come and go as you please. My secrets guard themselves. Will yours do the same?āĀ
32.Ā āYou are cruel to him/her. You might give him/her a gentle word, at the very least. S/he only wishes you to think of him/her.āĀ
33.Ā āWho am I? Why am I here? What is it that I am seeking in this strange place day after day? I knew a moment ago, but Iāve forgotten.ā
34.Ā āNo cat out of its first fur can be deceived by appearances, unlike human beings, who seem to enjoy it.āĀ
35.Ā āWhy wonāt you help me? Why must you always speak in riddles?āĀ
36.Ā āDrown out my dreams! Keep me from remembering whatever wants me to remember it.ā
37.Ā āI like to watch them. They fill me with joy. The first time I felt it, I thought I was going to die.āĀ
38.Ā āDo you still deny yourself? Do you dare still pretend to be human?āĀ
39.Ā āIt makes no difference. I can wait. The end will be the same. I can wait.āĀ
40.Ā āShut up, you pretentious kneecap! Howād you like a punch in the eye?āĀ
41.Ā āHey! Wait! Hey, donāt! Donāt do that! Give it to me if you donāt want it, but donāt throw it away!āĀ
42.Ā āYou would have gone without me?āĀ

44.Ā āUnicorn, mermaid/man, sorceress/sorcerer. No name you would give her/him would surprise or frighten me. I love whom I love.ā
45.Ā āI wish I didnāt! I wish to God I didnāt care about anything but my magic! But I do. I doā¦āĀ

47.Ā āThe last! I knew you were the last!āĀ
48.Ā āI remember you. I remember.āĀ
49.Ā āI will miss you. I have never had any friends before.āĀ
50.Ā āI wish I could see her/him/them just once more to tell her/him/them all thatās in my heart. She/he/they will never know what I really meant to say.āĀ
51.Ā āYou are a true wizard now, as you always wished. Does it make you happy?āĀ
52.Ā āI am sorry. I have done you evil, and I cannot undo it.āĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā
āThe questions that my lieutenants are being plagued with are amusing.ā
@asktranscendentzephon @blue-shiftedĀ @damnedfateĀ @asktranquilrahab @asktheskinner @ironlordturel @prouddumah
āHere, go harass them more, peons. Iām certain they have plenty of time for your utter nonsense. Trust in your Emperor.ā
āMy Lord, I wish not to murder my slaves if they believe these complaints were acceptable. Do not give them the idea.ā
āDonāt be so impulsive. What is wrong with hearing them out and maybe resolving their issues? Unless you mean to tell me that death is the solution to all their problems.ā
Of course, still amused, Kainās face sports a grin. Saturdays are the best.
"Criticism are for those who matter - my children and even the lowest of overseers. Our slaves can and will not be given the same, for they'll have a brazen idea to revolt. A massacre I wish not to happen."

Also the rest of us are getting black lung, among other things. Were your food source, donāt you care?
āYou get your weekly food supplies from your quarterās overseer like everyone else. If the slaves cannot adapt to the Crucibleās environment then theyāll perish - replaced by a new generation that can.ā
āThe question is towards the wrong person.ā Turelās massive stature loomed over.Ā āDo you care enough to change this? You can die trying to push a mountain. Complain more and weāll transfer you to the inner base of the Smokestacks. Black lung will be the least of your concern.ā
Turel stop stealing the sun away, youāre killing the plants.
āNo - we built farms and houses south of the mountain base that gets enough energy from the blotched skies and artificial light. The sun remains taken.ā
I want turel to snap zephon in half like the twig he is
Iā¦
Isā¦. Is that an innuendo?
ā¦

⦠Does Turel want to snap me in half like a twig?
ā¦
ā¦
Iād have to check with Coletta and Circine. I donāt⦠Think theyād mind, but⦠Still. I canāt be too sureā¦
āYes.ā
ā⦠I suppose I should⦠Draw up some way to make this a little more⦠Amicable for the both of usā¦.ā
āā¦. Then again, life is short. Not everything can be planned caution to the wind!ā
āZephon, you shout out when an issue occurs - any time, any where. So allow me to be blunt and to the pointā¦ā
āWhich you prefer: bent down or up.ā
āTUREL!ā Zephon snaps, covering the otherās mouth with his talons.Ā āPlease. Notā¦.ā he pauses, grumbling.Ā āNot in front of the childrenā¦ā
The stoic, immovable man remained still with arms crossed, looking down to the flustered spider. A deep rumble responded.
āThen why are we here.ā Loomed closer to Zephon, āWeāll remove ourselves to somewhereā¦more privet.ā
Letting out something more akin to a chirp than a gasped of pleasant surprise Zephon popped his neck, removing the heaviest outer-layers of his many-robe ensemble before opening his hand.
āCarry me. Iām yoursā¦ā
His stone features broke into a pleased smirk, oozing with a twist of affection. Strong arms scooped the Zephonim lord from his feet, muscles felt of iron under his thick skin. Turel cooed before whisking Zephon away.
"I'll make sure you are tended to..."
