Posts from ☀️ Arselia and Akonia Auto-translated

Well, they both come up with flag designs, but I don't plan on involving Gion in the "Creation" section, lol. I've enlisted both of them for this quest to reflect the rich inner world of each of them; it seemed interesting to see what designs they would come up with.
Although, if we already have one and a half singers, do we really need a musician? On the other hand.
There's also the question of what my additional persuasion bonus will be, and whether it will depend on the time of year. I remember that at the very beginning, Terron gave 25% to defense, not earth affinity, which is why I was tempted, but it seems that was a typo. But it's a bit of a gamble, although I'm kind of drawn to it, even just a little bit, from a role-playing perspective.
And regarding Giyoshi, I think that on the one hand, you can never have too much survivability, but on the other hand, it's very tempting to completely rework him into a full-fledged healer, and we already have Erephir as a tank.

- I don't think anything threatens you here... - she muttered in response. - Just don't be reckless, or you might get blown away by a single "spit" from any M-enemy. ...So, it's better if you spare me this sight.

- I need to learn how to do that "spit" myself; I'll start "shooting" at your room window.

Bazhena skips.

This reminds me of Arandor, with that story about the chair.

The Priestess doesn't respond because she's focused on casting two Barrier spells on the old man, without breaking his concealment or giving any indication that something is happening in this part of the cave. But if it turns out that both of these conditions cannot be met, then do the same to Lynette.

—A villa and a new house.

Since the knight had no more Action Points left to spend on studying royal consorts, he left the other readers to enjoy the literature and returned to his study, where he began rereading notes for an upcoming essay. At some point, he turned to the darkened window and remembered that he still had a few plans for the day—but for some reason, he felt that the universe had finished receiving visitors for today. Therefore, closing his weary eyes, the Criderian began to visualize—no, not Crideria, but a distant, exotic battle, of which he had somehow suddenly become an involuntary witness.

The Priestess is being modest on Gaheris.

Are there any slides showing how the Lord spends a point on a tentacle? A friend is asking.

When Klin stepped outside, the Moon seemed to smile at him and restored 1 Mana Point.

- The boss is collecting dossiers on us.
- As if these are great secrets.
- Well, I told you, I don't even know when my birthday is.
- A week earlier, a week later... I don't think it's super important. But the aura question is interesting...
- How would I know what our auras are... But I think you have a white aura, you're such a good person ❤️
- 😅

🎪🤸‍♀️:

- January 12th.
- Yellow, gold, silver, red.
- It's hard to say... Pantsuits and mini-dresses!
- "69" and "Lustful Kumari Maid," even though I haven't read them :( And I love paintings! And music! And everything in general!
- The Carnelian Stronghold and the bar.
- Gray.

♿⛓:

- May 27th.
- Blue, turquoise.
- "Turquoise."
- Imperial Chronicles, although it's more documentary than fiction. But I think that many works of art deserve attention.
- The Carnelian Stronghold and the hospital.
- White (Beata insisted).

"Ah, it's a pity that Elven tea doesn't work for reading books; otherwise, you could get two effects at once," lamented the Tanarian, torn between singing and dynasty, "someday, if the circumstances allow, I will definitely create my own 'dynasty' with the right person. But I can't make such far-reaching plans yet, but I can certainly improve my vocals." Alaria liked the stories of many royal and imperial consorts, some of whom she could even feel a certain degree of kinship with. But even then, when she was reading the description of Falanravi's life, the history of Lorencia managed to interest her. It was hard not to imagine herself in her place, in the bleak future where the path of the inquisitor had taken a slightly different turn. It was strange to see that Erefir was also unexpectedly interested in this particular person, although the reason for this was not entirely clear. Perhaps, in her younger years, she was afraid of a dynastic marriage, and therefore she took the tragedy of the singer to heart? It would be somewhat unexpected, considering her loving parents, but fears are not always rational. And even good people sometimes have their quirks. Slowly practicing and vocalizing, trying different techniques, the inquisitor sometimes got a little distracted and wrote down the text that came to mind for her first song of her own composition, the best way to put her emotions into a good form. For people like her, secretive and cautious, it was difficult to fully open up to those around her without resorting to creativity or vague metaphors. But now she was striving to create something inspiring, instilling confidence in the hearts of people, especially her comrades. Encouraging them to continue moving forward, no matter what hardships they face. In general, this was an important part of her life experience. Initially, the song was planned to be metaphorical, but in the end, Alaria was no longer sure if this would be properly perceived by those around her. For some follower of Stallia, perhaps, it was nothing more than a description of his life path. The simple title chosen by the Tanarian for her creation did not help either.

Warrior

Don't despair, stand up,
Fight bravely!
Have you forgotten that you are a warrior in life?
Your enemy may be
Terrible and strong,
But are you afraid of pain?
Your path through life
Was difficult and thorny,
You have seen a lot of sorrow.
But you did not fall, not at all,
You proudly rose up,
And you know yourself what you are capable of!
The whistle of arrows and the clang of steel
Have become a familiar orchestra,
Which is only drowned out by screams.
A still life of scars
Beautifies your proud face,
This is a given – we have both gotten used to it.
Clench your sword in your hands,
Tighter and stronger,
It has become closer to you than a brother.
Look confidently into the face of your opponent.
If he is so formidable,
Triumph over him is your reward.
Here you stand alone,
Among a garden of blades,
Fragments of axes and spears.
Although a swift stream
Flows from your shoulder,
It's just a few drops of blood.
Wounded, but alive,
Creator of your own destiny,
You have shown your will today.
Peace and quiet,
A gaze directed upwards,
You know that you are a warrior in life.

Considering that this was her first experience, the warrior was satisfied with the final result. Although in the future, she would not mind trying herself in other genres. She would like to someday compose something that could touch the heart of each of the listeners, no matter how diverse the audience around her might be.

-- Well, guys, are you tired of questions? -- she looks at everyone. -- Let's end it this way. Here is a whole list that you can, and even should, supplement with new questions, and I ask you to answer them. Thus, we will finally fill all the gaps in our knowledge about each other, I hope you agree with me on how important and interesting it is. So:
-- What is your birthday?
-- What is your favorite color?
-- What is your favorite item of clothing?
-- What is your favorite work of art?
-- What is your favorite place in Margel? Yes, there was already a survey about this from Lady Aquamarine, but that was a long time ago, the situation may have changed, and besides, we didn't really peek at each other's confessions.
-- On a scale from white to black, what color aura would you expect to have?

— The twenty-third day of March. — It's hard. Depending on the combination, many of them can be very pleasing to the eye. But I personally prefer dark tones, and specifically, I think red, black, and green are my favorites. — And again, it's difficult. Depending on the situation, each outfit can be appropriate and, conversely, inappropriate, and you are talking about elements of clothing. Don't do that. Probably, if you really need an answer, then boots. They are an integral part of many of my costumes. — I don't like these questions," she shakes her head again, "and art in general is diverse. So don't expect an absolute answer. But I can name one of those that are dear to my heart.

This is a song that I once had to perform in front of a large audience. It was not appreciated, but I think it is extremely beautiful.

— My home and Carnelian. The Archive could also be here, but you know what happened to it. — I cannot judge. Black and white auras seem to me to be a very changeable variable that strongly depends on a person's current emotional state.

What an awesome Lord! If I had a Lord like that, I wouldn't even get married.

Soon, in a burst of inspiration, Alaria wrote a second song, in a slightly different style, although she felt that its message was somewhat repetitive. However, it wasn't so surprising that the desire to take fate into one's own hands turned out to be one of the main themes of her work. The inquisitor took certain moments from her experience before and after leaving Tanaris as a basis, but in a greatly transformed and reinterpreted artistic form. Apart from very general themes, there probably wasn't much else in common. Besides, although she wanted to write something sublime and inspiring, she wasn't sure if she had achieved that goal as an artist. From a certain angle, it was difficult not to consider the result of her work as just another parable about hard work, albeit in a song-poem format. However, perhaps her comrades would have a different opinion and see their own meanings in it. And anyway, for now, it's just a creative endeavor for her own enjoyment and for those close to her, not for the general public.

Labyrinth

In the depths of the earth, among rocky formations,
A boy sings a melancholic song.
A solitary concert – there are no spectators here,
Only silence answers the songs.

"Oh, if only, if only, if only it were so!
Oh, if only, if only, if only it were so!
I could break the circle of my loneliness,
But for now, the world is deaf to my pleas."

The boy wanders through the deserted caves,
He searches everywhere – but finds no one.
He looks sadly at the gloomy vaults,
Sighs and goes on.

"Invisible mother and invisible father,
I am in pain – I can't take it anymore.
Will my suffering ever end?
Because I won't find anyone else."

The wanderings continued – he went on,
Making his way through the underground darkness.
In his loneliness, he found a goal,
And that goal was change.

"If the caves are dark and narrow,
It would be wise to change the approach.
I will break the walls and break free from the darkness,
I will no longer cry in it!"

And the underground boy took up a pickaxe,
He found a layer of loose rock.
Over the years, he became a young man,
Diligently digging through the soil.

He made his way, and then a breach,
A ray of light broke through the stone.
And a joyful wind burst inside,
Playing with his hair.

"Can it be true that I managed to get out?"
He said, squinting in the sun.
"Can it be true that all the efforts were not in vain?"
His voice trembled with happiness.

He went out into the light – he looked around,
Having spent his whole life in confinement.
He cast his gaze down – and immediately fell silent,
There are people there – the adventure is over.

He descended and the persistent man was accepted,
Persistence is honored everywhere.
He found friends and relatives there,
And lived his life carefree.

Zimbarik

Having tasted the wonderful cake, Garret felt all the accumulated fatigue disappear, as if he hadn't done anything all week. Feeling refreshed and full of energy, he decides to spend it as productively as possible – by delving into the reading of imperial chronicles.

XIII - Shinalun es Diesra Arual
+5 to beauty or agility (F), +5 to strength or endurance (M).

There were warrior-kings, wizard-kings, just kings, and here we have a king of entertainment. Judging by his contribution to fashion, Shinalun was a kind of opposite of Emperor Purian – such a diametrically opposed difference in tastes between ancestor and descendant once again emphasizes the diversity of the Margel monarchs, despite the single dynasty; it is interesting to note the change in trends over the centuries. Like his predecessor, Shinalun was not very interested in politics, and yet, seizing the opportune moment, he still somewhat curtailed the power of the officials who had usurped power under Sellun. In general, according to his biography, he appears more as a prominent figure in the mass culture of his time than as an emperor of a great dynasty.

XIV - Kermaria es Diesra Arual
+50% to affinity with darkness or 1000 experience points (static).

A remarkable choice of magical specialization, which in an unusual way distinguishes her from other monarchs. Nowadays, you can't officially study for this. It is amusing that the clergy kept silent – apparently, you can't really put pressure on your own empress. It is noteworthy that, unlike the previous two emperors, she truly devoted her reign to matters of state importance, and there is not a word about vain officials in her biography. It is logical to assume that Kermaria was able to prevent the opposition from interfering in her affairs thanks to her extraordinary magical talents.

XV - Shen es Diesra Arual
+50 to luck or -5 to a characteristic of your choice.

More like a market wench than an empress. What kind of ruler is this if everyone manipulates her as they please? And her idea to launch a military invasion because of "sympathy" for elves and other creatures with ears and tails is, of course, the height of genius. As in the case of Sellun, it is likely that the level of managerial potential was influenced by an early coronation. Shen ruled for a short time and ineffectively, making herself known only by her bad temper – in short, one of the most mediocre Margel monarchs.

XVI - Naer es Diesra Arual
+5 to a characteristic of your choice (agility).

A strange emperor, his biography seems to have many omissions. He was somewhere on the periphery during a long period of turmoil, then suddenly appeared, made a name for himself by vouching for the dragon king, and took the throne. Then, just as suddenly, it turns out that he is such a good friend to the long-eared people who distrust humans that both Lunar realms immediately join the empire. And he did all this peacefully? Everything went so smoothly for Naer that it is somehow suspicious, although perhaps he was just incredibly charismatic.

XVII - Abeas es Diesra Arual
-5+10 to intelligence (randomly).

He wanted to be remembered as a great conqueror, but he "slightly" miscalculated. In his vanity and self-confidence, Abeas plunged his country into a crisis, and in the end did not achieve any success. The Many-Faced Monogat essentially outplayed him and destroyed him in the campaign he initiated. Well, maybe not destroyed, but he certainly broke his teeth, and Abeas's miscalculation had long-lasting consequences for the empire.

XVIII - Hartrain es Diesra Arual
+20% to attack or +20% to health.

He can be called the antipode of Sellun and Shen – although he also ascended the throne at a young age and suffered from court intrigues, this only tempered Hartrain and filled him with determination to do what a monarch should. It is difficult to say how large his achievements could have been if he had not had to devote a period of his reign to dealing with the consequences of his predecessor's mistakes. Be that as it may, his efforts had an effect, and he actually lifted the empire from its knees, so Hartrain can confidently be called a strong and wise ruler.
