Low-key I’d make such a good medieval knight
Except, like the religion part
Or the fighting part
But I’d eat that aesthetic for sure
Inktober day 2: probably a raven?
I was grateful for the warmth of my horse's neck. I held on to her as she galloped through the city, skillfully going around people who ran everywhere. Searching for shelter in the night, but Only worsening the chaos.
Another lighting struck a building me, causing another yell of screams.
"EVERYONE HOME NOW!"
I shouted, praying that my voice is heard to all through the thunderstorm.
"DIRECT ORDER FROM THE KING!"
"HOME NOW!"
My horse, steadfast as she was, ran through every street. Inspired by her persistence, I kept yelling to the crowd. Ignoring the thunders, the pouring rain and my rattling sword.
We kept going until the crowds dissapeared. I whispered to my horse to slow down, caressing her neck. I allowed myself to lead her to a small market stall, where we could rest from the rain.
Maybe, just maybe, we finished our part. Maybe our night now ends.
"HELP!"
Of course.
I jumped down and ran towards the voice.
"My sister!
She is stuck under the fallen tree!"
I turned and searched for a tree in my eyes, but there is no... NO
The sound of an unleashed sword stood out against the rain.
I sprut towards my horse, but my sheeth was already empty.
Of course. Someone will try to use this disaster.
This will be a long night.
I saw the blade's shine from above me, and recognized a person climbing the nearby stone building.
She balanced herself on a window, then swiftly brought herself to the next.
"Halt!"
Whether she heard me or not, she made no sign to care. So be it.
I got on my horse and stood up on her saddle. My legs shook, but I managed to hold on to grab at the side of the closet window. I tried to move legs up to it, thankful for the empty street. There was no crowd who saw me wobbling in my armor. I looked up to the stranger, she watched me from afar. I couldn't see her face well, but her head was tilted to the side in an amused way.
I let go of the window's side and started taking off my armor, leaving only a dirty shirt to fend me from the cold. Slowly but surely, I climbed up.
I was cold, clumsy and sluggish, but had a small smirk as I managed to make my progress. This troublemaker picked the wrong knight.
The roof was just above me.
I raised my hand to climb there, and a lighting struck above it. It was the closet one I saw. I would want to believe that it's power made me tremble, but nothing but my own terror caused me to lose my grip.
I fell and- No.
A hand caught my arm, and I grabbed the roof tightly. I felt myself being pulled up signed in relief as rested on concrete matter.
The woman crouched down next to me. Her hood's shadow covered her eyes, but I could see her cocky grin clearly.
"You screamed a little, sir craven."
This could go unmentioned.
I inhaled and looked right into her.
"Thank you,"
The cold was taking it's tall at my exposed skin as I tried to keep my voice confident.
"But I cannot let you steal a weapon of the king's knights.
Tell me where the sword is and we both can go home safely."
Just let us go home.
"I have no evil motive,"
She said assuredly.
"It is right there."
She turned around and I could see my sword.
It was a few meters behind her, emedded in the center of the roof.
"And it needs to stay here. This is the only way to keep the lightings at bay."
She did not sound like she was lying.
And if she had any intent to harm me, she would have already done so.
But danger wears many faces.
I started getting up.
"I am sorry, it is my role t-"
A radiant white light crossed from the sky to the roof.
By incstinct, I tackled onto the hooded woman and placed myself between her and the light. I stayed above her, careful not to let us touch and make us both defensless.
Shaking, I waited for a strike.
"We are safe, craven."
Her voice was so sweet, I could barely tell it was the same person.
"Look."
I slowly opened my eyes.
Her hood fell, and revealed a freckled face and a beaming, knowing smile. Her sparkling, green eyes gestured to the sword.
I unwillingly turned back to it.
It was magic.
The very next lighting struck it as well.
"How?"
Her smile grew brighter.
"A witch never tells."
The white lights only highlighted her eyes. She was far more mirthful than I ever thought a witch would be. Far bolder and kinder, too.
I realized that I was smiling as well.
"Also, you have an awful method to protect someone from a lighting."
She said, deciding I was too happy.
"But, thank you, you are..."
Her smile turned softer.
"Yes?"
I urged her to continue. It was my turn to smirk.
"You are not as much as a craven as you seem."
I tilted my head, still smirking.
"Try not to drool too much, my lady."
She merely rolled her eyes and I laughed. Feeling safe for the first time since the night came.
My smile died down when she started getting up.
"Thank you for your chivalry,"
The witch said, pushing dirt of her cloth.
"and the amusement, of course."
I moved aside to let her stand, yet my eyes were unable to let go of her. I did not even know her name.
"But it seems like your duty is done and mi-"
"Wait, just..."
She did.
The cold barely mattered anymore. I searched for a reason, an excuse, for her not to leave. The way her eyes stared into me made it seem like she was looking for an excuse, too.
"Tell me what is needed to protect the city,"
I said then. Praying that the glint in her eyes was not just my imagination.
"I can get more weapons, and people who will embed them wherever is required."
The witch merely stared at me. Looking for any sign of dishonesty. Then her childish grin came right back.
"If you manage to climb down without fainting, I might just cooperate, sir craven."
Her taunt only made me smile.
"Your challenge is accepted, my lady."
I gestures to the roof's end, bowing a bit. She bowed dramatically, holding her hood with both hands as a dress. Her movements were swift and gallant as she jumped to the window, and soon I started following her.
There was a long night ahead of us.I did not mind that at all.
Kid: Papa, why did you decide to choose mama as your wife?
The father, a former knight: Well, my child, I married your mother because she is a witch.
Kid: ... What?
Father: I have married your mother because she's a witch. To be more precise, your mother is a dark witch. When she was younger, your mother was feared throughout the land for how powerful her magic was. In fact, people still fear her, your mother is wanted in about fifteen kingdoms for using black magic, causing plagues and cursing people.
Kid: ... You are serious?
Father: Of course I'm serious! Despite the wanted notices and the history of murders that your mother caused, marrying a witch was the best decision of my life.
Kid: No, I mean... I didn't know mama was a witch, but now that you say it, it makes sense... And why was marrying a witch the best decision you ever made?
Father: Think about it, marrying the person the entire country fears, the person who if you spoiled her and asked nicely would curse anyone you wanted. And on top of that, she's one of the best cooks you'll ever meet. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages! My wife is the most intelligent woman who ever walked these lands, the most beautiful of the muses and the most powerful person among humans.
Kid: Yeah, you are right, marrying mama was the best decision you could have made.

More dragons, and draconids I'm looking forward to upcoming dragons this year! With McF able to make LOTR, and HP stuff, I'm hoping for the Witch King's armored Fellbeast, and a Hebridean black! Also hopeful that Season 2 of HOTD will bring more ASOIAF dragons, maybe Vermithor, and Balerion is still of course a pipe dream for me. Papo has a good dragon upcoming too though, with the Alpha/King dragon leaking recently, that looks really cool. And how could I forget the awesome Cyberzoic dragons starting to release this year, and next, and Dragon's Dogma 2!? An exciting time to be obsessed with dragons!
"A legendary black dragon said to have prowled these lands from the days of old. Many skilled hunters have sought to challenge it, but none ever return. A monster shrouded in mystery..." Fatalis description from Monster Hunter Freedom 2/Unite --- "My armor is like tenfold shields, my teeth are swords, my claws spears, the shock of my tail a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, and my breath death!" -Smaug from The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien
Always more dragons! I'm very excited for Dragon's Dogma II!!
I made a comic, a minifigure recreation of Moss controversy by @pocketss
More dragons Got really into the old McFarlane’s dragons line, since I liked the newer ones so much!
Finally enough dragon pics for a full post I have figures of most of my favorite dragons, cool to be able to make art with them
Knight-errant Customized a Mythic Legions knight figure a bit to give myself a cool, original fantasy character for shots. I’ve always loved knight armor, so this is really fun.
Look in the eyes of the horror.
