A birthday gift for @algandarsplaguepositive. Happy birthday, I hope you have something fun planned!

“Child’s Play”

"Remind me again, why are we coming to the Sadiche region?” Zane complained as he pulled his cloak tighter around himself and pumped his freezing wings to maintain his elevation over the snow coated mushroom forests below. Even with the longer cloak and the thicker set of robes, the perpetually snowing region always proved to be unbearably cold.

“I’ve already told you, I wish to reach out more to the black goblin’s. They’re very secluded all the way up here and I feel some connection might be good for everyone involved. Besides, you never know, they could prove to be good allies some day.” Nogueira explained, glancing over his shoulder and smiling at the shivering form of his younger brother.

“I don’t see how they could be, considering how they’re always intoxicated on those toadstools.”

“Perhaps...To be fair though, I see little reason why you put any effort into maintaining a connection with the orcs.” Nogueira countered, remembering their past disagreement over his brothers decision that lead to a months long period of non-correspondence between them. Zane remained silent for several long moments and when Nogeira looks to him again he could see the conflict on his face over whether or not this is a subject he wanted to revisit at the moment.

“Then I suppose we will have to leave it as a matter of opposing opinions.” Zane finally conceded. Probably for the best. It wouldn’t reflect well if both of them were observably angry with each other while having their meeting with Gruel. Not to mention it would be a long miserable night spent not talking and an equally miserable flight home in the morning.

“It’s so freezing in these parts! Is there no better season for traveling?” Zane changes the subject.

“I’m afraid not. It may be slightly warmer though in the shelter of the forest. We’re almost there anyway, why don’t we switch to walking?” Knowing Zane would agree with the idea, Nogueira starts making his decent without waiting for an answer.

The un-marred snow crunches softly beneath Nigueira’s boots as he lands, coming up well past his ankles. It’s an ethereal sight, being here on the Sediche mountain side with the abundance of sparkling white snow and the only natural sound being the gentle creek of the giant mushrooms and conifers as the wind hits them. Though snowfall does blow into the Nowem region during the colder months, it never accumulates to the degree it does here and it’s even rarer still for it to snow enough to coat the ground to any significant degree in the Elf region.

“Ah, brother!” He’s abruptly reminded of the potential for hidden ice and slippery hard packed snow under the top most layer of fluff. “remember to be…” He isn’t even able to get the full warning out before Zane is starting to land beside him. His brother had always had a habit of coming in too fast when he landed, and it seemed the fact wasn’t going to be doing him many favors today. All Nogueira can do is watch helplessly as Zane hits a hidden patch of ice and promptly slips and flails onto his back. It all happens so fast, Zane doesn’t even manage to let out a cry of surprise or pain as he smacks into the ground.

A long pause stretches on as Zane stares up at the sky in open mouthed shock. When he finally does move, he first glances over at his older brother and immediately becomes much more animated, face turning red and an embarrassed scowl pulling at his lips as he scrambles to his feet.

“Don’t you dare laugh!”

“I’ve no idea what you’re talking about.” Nogueira chuckles, though he hadn’t even realized till that moment he was grinning this whole time.

"I hate this place! Why does such a cursed thing even exist!"

"Zane, you're being a little dramatic. Besides, last I checked, you were the one with the affinity for ice based magic. I would think you’d enjoy the snow a bit more.”

“My apologies,” Zane spat. “on that note, perhaps you would like me to set you on fire. You must enjoy it with all the fire magic you can cast.”

“Now you’re being silly. It’s only snow, it won’t kill you."

"It's easy for you to say, you don’t have snow down the back of your cloths!" 

“Well, that does sound unpleasant. Come on, Goblin Haven isn’t much farther. They’ll have warm shelter and food waiting for us.”

It hadn’t occurred to Nogueira that turning his back on his little brother was potentially a bad idea. Not until the moment a hand clutches the collar of his cloak and pulls him back. Before he even has a chance to react, a large, loosely packed ball of snow is being forced down the back of his neck and into his clothing.

Nogueira shoots forward and away from the now slacked grasp of his brother with a loud cry. He tries in vain to shake the melting snow out of his clothing, taking far too long to realize it’s become trapped at his lower back, just above where his belt cinches his garments into place.

"That wasn't funny!" Nogueira chides as he unfastens his belt to let the half melted ball loose. It does little good though as water has already soaked into his clothing and is quickly starting to freeze over.

"Really? Because I found it very funny." Zane openly snickers. His laughter quickly tapers of when he registers the glare his older brother is fixing him with. And not just any glare, but the kind that tells Zane he’s about to be on the receiving end of something unpleasant.

"Listen, let's not start…"

Without warning, Nogueira’s hand shoots out from beneath his cloak, crossing first over his chest before quickly sweeping out in front of him with a swift cutting motion. The gesture is immediately accompanied by a strong gust of wind that picks up the loosely packed top layer of snow and sends both it and Zane flying.

Zane doesn’t go far, only toppling backwards and doing a single roll before landing face down. His form is quickly covered in a fine layer of snow. When Zane lifts his snow covered face, he can only stare at Nogueira with betrayed disbelief.

“My dear brother, shouldn’t you have learned by now that pulling such petty stunts never turns out well for you?” Nogueira’s voice is now less scolding and holds a playful humor. Zane can see the challenge in Nogueira’s eyes and returns it with a playfully confident smile of his own.

The two brothers engage in a mock battle, throwing snowballs at one another, goadingly dodging, and supplementing their tactics with low level wind and ice magic. By the time the sun starts to set, the both of them are huffing from exhaustion and shivering from their now soaking wet cloths.

“Has it really gotten that late? The black goblins would have been expecting us at least an hour ago.” Nogueira observed sheepishly, knocking off bits of frost that had started clinging to his beard and wings.

“I’m certain they won’t take much notice.” Zane scoffed, crossing his arms tightly over his chest and shivering hard enough for his teeth to chatter. “Though we really should get going. I’ll end up as an ice sculpture at this rate.”

Nogueria hummed his agreement and brought his hand back out from beneath his cloak again. After a few seconds, sparks danced across his open palm and grew into a small fire. The magical flames licked and flickered harmlessly around his skin and between his fingers but still emitted a pleasant warmth that had Zane moving closer. Huddled up as close as they possibly could, the brothers began the last leg of their trip up the mountain side.

algandarsplaguepositive replied to your post “algandarsplaguepositive replied to your post ...”

Not sure if you've seen it but I run a fandom blog with my bro called Fuck Yeah Radiata Stories. I also run an Amino group (https://aminoapps.com/c/radiatastories/) and there's a subreddit called r/RadiataStories if you're interested.

I think I followed that blog just a little bit ago! Also, saw your post about that animo, so I joined that too!! Also found the Reddit because I figured it was worth a shot checking. I’m kind of impressed that you got this much running plus the existence of the Reddit, that’s really fun and I’m gonna look through that :)

40 for Alicia

Glowing: showing the radiance of health, excitement

Honestly, Alicia hadn’t expected to best Thanos at all. He was her superior in both age and experience, and she knew better than to underestimate him. It was all formality–the bowing and the good luck wishes–and then an exhilarating exchange of blows, Thanos was on the ground beneath the tip of Alicia’s blade.

The shock was clear on both of their faces, that was for sure.

Alicia wasn’t even sure how she did it. She had been training, of course. Elwen had even given her permission to practice with the dummies on the roof of Theater Vancoor. But it never felt like enough, like when you’re studying for school and get paranoid about forgetting every little fact before a test.

That night, after she beat Thanos and was granted leadership for a new squad, Alicia visited Alfred’s grave beneath the city, excited to share the news. She had even teared up a bit, surprising even herself; she wasn’t sure if it was due to how overjoyed she was, or the pride she had in herself as Alfred’s descendant.

Nonetheless, Alicia was absolutely glowing in the dark of the sewers, and she was glowing as she walked through the doors of Theater Vancoor the next morning, ready to begin her new life as a sergeant.

Thanks Henry!
