Knights of The Dawn Covenant: The Longest Winter

Bonus points to whoever can guess what song I had to edit to fit the context!

Also Lucien's sort of a bard, kinda. When you're as old as he is, you have stories to tell/sing.

Knights of The Dawn Covenant: The Longest Winter

Upon the arrival to Thanermere, Lucien had two things on his mind; cold drinks and a warm bed. His back was aching severely from just having spent the past week sleeping on bedrolls, one night of which he'd managed to wedge a particularly sharp rock between his shoulder blades and another in which no one got any sleep. Once inside the keep, he quickly dismounted and left his horse, which he had taken to calling Chaplain, and left the beast in the nearest stable.

Running inside the best he could, Jakorian quickly bumped into the mead hall, and he could've sworn he was in heaven. Surrounded by well made drink and people weary from a day of hard work... then he spotted a discarded mandolin on one of the long tables. It had been awhile, but he made his way over and picked the stringed instrument up, then set to tuning it. A quick moment passed, then he strummed each individual string to check his work. Slightly off, but it would likely take a trained ear to notice. And so he started to play, his usually gruff voice becoming surprisingly melodic as he sang.

"Sar'Than's hordes, they did darken the sky,
Their roar fury's fire, his blade cold as ice,
Men ran and they cowered, and they fought and they died,
They burned and they bled as they issued their cries.

We need saviors to free us from Sar'Than's rage,
Heroes on the field of this new war to wage,
And if Sar'Than wins, man is gone from this world,
Lost in the shadow of black magic unfurled!

But then came the Templars that terrible day,
Steadfast as winter, they entered the fray,
And all heard the music of Sar'Than's doom,
The sweet song of Miras, a sky-shattering tune!

And so Templars freed us from Sar'Than's rage,
Gave gifts of freedom, ushered in a new age,
And if Sar'Than's eternal, then eternity's done,
For his story is over, and the demons... are gone."

The Cleric sat in a nearby seat as a small crowd started clapping for him, satisfied that the victory song he wrote for the future was relevant before the deed was even done. Then someone got bashed over the head with a mug, initiating the bar brawl.

Lucien held a record he placed great value on; he'd never been knocked out in a bar fight, and he intended to keep that title. So he fought, mostly dodging the sloppily thrown punches, and at one point dropping a lighter table on an elf that had actually landed a hit.

"WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE GODS ARE YOU DOING" There was Evelyn, standing in the doorway with a fresh welt on her jaw, and there was Lucien, holding the terrified aforementioned elf by the collar and drawing back for a solid punch across the face and standing on a table.

'Could this week get any worse? Honestly?'

"You all are going to clean this entire hall. You will not sleep until it is spotless and if come morning I see anything out of place there will be severe consequences"

'Dammit...'

Knights of The Dawn Covenant: The Longest Winter

Holy crap, what did I miss?

Knights of The Dawn Covenant: The Longest Winter

Little did they know, there was a Cultist Party happening at Thanermere, with Sar'Than as the guest of honor.

I'll write something up tomorrow, too tired right now. School in the morning. Undone homework.

I'm not so sure if that's gonna work out the way you think, Cythlla would be more a resentful teenager
Also Henry is more of the father figure, or the big brother, one of the two.

@Cuccoruler

Yeah, I was hopeful. Oh well. *Le casual shrug*

Mah bad! Lmfao
I'll bring back Ekrom amd probably write up a human Adept as well!

@WittyWolf

Ekrom's all set to go then, just adapt anything to fit Omega and we're golden. Keep the Shadow Sword, too. We need a ship.

Mass Effect: Stories of the Soldiers [Reboot]

Sicari pulled her mandibles back in a smile, satisfied that there was someone showing up in person. Quite frankly, this was the most secure way to communicate nowadays. Virtually anyone could hack a communication channel, she had heard of a human child doing it last year. But back to the girl in front of her. The Turian took in every detail as she ran her eyes up the woman's body, pausing in areas of interest, mostly oddities such as blemishes or scars... a surprising few of them, and then the thick scent of perfume hit her. She almost gagged because of the overly-sweet smell, and she was guessing there was more than enough to survive Afterlife's usual scent of alcohol and tobacco and come across as strong. Looking back up, she noticed the bowler hat atop her head. "That hat in this age? You're aware those were mostly worn during Earth's Industrial Age and have since declined in popularity, right? ...It suits you, though." She added the compliment as an afterthought, though the broker was aware she sat in the position of power at the moment. "Please, sit. I'll start ordering drinks once everyone's here."

Then Jason approached and she couldn't help but roll her eyes in disgust at the hint he had dropped. "Do all humans do that? Or are you a special breed that doesn't know how to ask a question?" She activated her omni-tool, with the intent to reply to Tar as soon as she could... then something made her stop. The soldier in front of her had a certain air of confidence, something of a paragon energy radiating from him. On this rock? "Take a seat." She commanded, now writing to the Volus.

'Come in, make yourself look busy and no one will give you a second look. If someone asks, say the Turian you work for made a bad business decision and you're here to clean up his mess for him. Throw in an insult or two, make it look convincing.' She sent the message and sat back, arms crossed. The big Krogan looking for someone most likely wouldn't take a subtle hint to come over, so she simply waved to him to get his attention.
