THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

Fenna opened her eyes when someone greeted her with a good morning. It took her a moment to realise where she was. And that the previous day obviously hadn't been a dream. She hadn't woken up next to her husband, nor could she hear her children who hopelessly failed at trying to be silent in the morning. A tear rolled down her cheek and she rubbed it away. They were far away somewhere, and she would find a way back to them. She sat up, hiding a yawn behind her hand. A gawk from the tree greeted her and she looked up with a smile. The falcon was still there.

She got up. "Morning, everyone," she said as she stretched her arms.

Now what? Breakfast? Although she wasn't much of an early eater - she never ate breakfast right after getting up - she did have some morning rituals. It started to sink in that not only did she have to miss her morning cuddles, but her morning tea as well. That sucked. Even when they had gone camping they had always brought teabags with them. She bent down to pick up her spear and examined it for a moment - she had never seen one of these before, but she had read about spears with a fork attached to the end, but weren't they supposed to be larger? Maybe she'd have an opportunity to test this one, but now was not the time for that. There were more important things to do.

Fenna walked over to where Adam was. "Hey," she said to him. "Can you show me what route you are planning to take today?"

I haven't posted yet, but you don't have to wait for me to move on to the morning. If I can I'll post before that happens, otherwise, I'll recap when everyone wakes up.

Lights.
Eight Stars.
Cresting the sky.
Reaching out ad infinitum.
White horses of the horizon.
The sleek battleship grey churning past.
Septuplets guiding the navigator through the abyss.
Cargo cowering in fear of the eldritch benthos.
An esoteric mind rises through the inky depths; searching.
Sextuplets winking out above the screeching tearing of steel bulkhead.

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

When Fenna returned to the camp she hadn't done as much exploring as she had wanted to do, but the time had been spent better. Mackenzie seemed back to her former self again. The others seemed to have kept busy as well and the camp looked like a decent camp already, one was even building a whole shelter. She glanced at the sky. It didn't seem like it would start to rain and the evening didn't seem too cold yet. She weighed the pros and cons of building a shelter and decided for herself it wasn't worth the effort, but who knew, maybe it'd start pouring halfway through the night and she'd regret the decision.

She listened to Zell's strategy and examined the figures he drew in the dirt. "That is a good strategy," she said to him. "When it's time for battle we should try to get into this formation. During travel, someone who can navigate the land should go first. I'm fairly good at recognising animal tracks and the likes, so there may be times I will go ahead of the group."

When the fish was done, Fenna grabbed a portion. It would take some time to get used to eating like this. Back home she'd have potatoes and vegetables with a bit of meat. Well, as long as they wouldn't have to eat bugs like Bear Gryllis, things would be fine. The rations contained some kind of crackers and she ate one with the fish.

"We should probably take turns keeping watch during the night," she commented while eating. "Maybe in pairs? It's a strange land after all, and who knows, maybe some others will be interested in that cube we have."

Noble Phantasm:

• Water's Edge Leap (Spear of the Frisians): B - This Noble Phantasm represents Lancer's mastery of pole vaulting and her connection to her homeland, Fryslân. Lancer charges her spear with magical energy and leaps into the air, using her enchanted pole vaulting spear to propel her toward her enemy. As she approaches her target, she twists her body and delivers a devastating strike with her spear that can pierce through even the toughest defenses.
• The Feathered Tempest (Windrider's Cry): B - Lancer's deep connection with birds of prey has allowed her to summon a powerful hawk spirit to aid her in battle. When activated, Windrider's Cry calls forth a giant hawk that circles the battlefield, scanning for any enemies. The hawk then swoops down upon the target, dealing heavy damage and stunning them. Additionally, the hawk's sharp vision allows Fenna to perceive even the most subtle movements and weaknesses of her opponents, giving her an advantage in combat. The hawk spirit remains active for a short period of time before disappearing. This Noble Phantasm can be used multiple times during a battle, but its power decreases with each subsequent use.

Clive the Legend, Clive the Great

by @Saiyan


There once lived a warrior named Clive,
On the field, left no man alive,
It'd take ten men together,
With ten brains so clever,
Ten arms holding ten swords to survive.

The strength of ten boars in his fists,
Ten to the power ten maidens he's kissed,
Aura ten feet tall,
Creatures all great and small,
Praise the legend, the myth that exists!

CLIIIIIVE the farmer! ClIIIIVE the farmer!
Ten insults could never besmirch him!
CLIIIIIVE the farmer! CLIIIIIVE the farmer!
Ten women took ten years to birth him!

What lead me here

by @Master EffeX

Marvel
Black Panther
Action excites Mom
Let's watch them all
Exhausted the MCU, we expand
To Daredevil, Fantastic Four, the X-Men
excited am I, something extra awakened inside
Inspiration ensued, pursued, from my mind exhumed - anew
A desire, to roleplay - explore, expand; all kinds'a stuff
New haunt, old desire, ignited by "X": Roman numeral 10
