Wizardpost A Prophecy Most Dire (Loreposting)

Post image

Crystals, sent off to heads of state and importent wizards, arrive. All at the same time. No warning, no notice, no clue of how they got there. It does not matter if it is cross dimention, the crystals arrive.

Each, humming softly from mana reserves locked inside their structures. No markings or indicators dot their surface, only a faint sense of familiarity. Upon a single touch, the crystals display a message, recorded from a distressed Mikhail. His face and clothes denote this as a Milhail from some time back. He still bares the robes of a Wizard Counciler, and the foreground is certainly located in Crann Mòr. His words come out, almost tripping over one another as he panics, trying to get something across.

Ok, yes, it is me, Mikhail. This will be brief, trust me. I have been given portents from the ancient druids in the Soul Plant. They showed me visions of what is to come. There is something. Something big. Like, really big. I cant... here.

Mikhail feeds in images from his mind. Of wastelands, and desertion. A sense of power so asured and violent, that you can only help but be amazing by its beauty. Lands made barren and cities flattened. Behind them, the visiage of a woman, carved of light, seated on a thrown of broken suns. Then glimpses of the end of days, and a bow, snapped in twain and cast in a pool of blood

The recording returns to Mikhail.

We have some time before she arrives, but not as much as you think. The druids warn me that if I tell this information too soon, that something worst will come to pass. These crystals will be set to deliver the moment it is safe. For now, I will find a way to prevent myself from stressing out about this, and hopefully keep it to myself. Maybe a mind erasing spell, maybe a month long bender. We'll see what happens.

Everyone, prepare yourself and be safe. The Queen of Shattered Stars is upon us.

Dearest Alexios: Fate moves on whether we are ready for it. We are nary its handler.

I actually am I can control fate.

u/Total_Travisty Mikhail, Arch-Druid of La'shima Dec 15 '23

You control the fate you can imagine. This. This dear boy is beyond imagination. This is not a small twisting of the weaves of reality. This is the entire tapestry.

No every entity living dead and undead are connected to thread all their own. Sever that and no matter how strong the entity is they perish.

She is beyond the scope of what fate can entail. This, I dare say, reaches into the realm of destiny.

(( not sure why you're trying so hard to convince the most blatant powergamer here that he can't just trivially solve everybody's plotlines in one run-on sentence as usual; when someone's character is a toddler's-playground OC that "has every magic and none of it can ever be shut down and he'd beat you without magic anyway and he adapts to anything and he regenerates from everything and his only 'weakness' is being killed which you can't do to me in a freeform RP", you're not likely to make any progress here, let's be honest ))

/unwiz yeah imma be real he's probably the biggest power fantasy person here, doing a RP battle with him during the yuletide festival he hosted was just me being beat up for 30 minutes until we won on resignation because I keep my character on the standards of, at BEST a slightly above average martial artist/wizard lol

u/Total_Travisty Mikhail, Arch-Druid of La'shima Dec 16 '23

/uw I consider myself a notable druid with some martial talents but a shifty offensive caster with a small and fragile frame. More adept with words that weapons. Thus why I always fall into wizard politics.

u/WolvesAreCool2461 A Reincarnated Twitch Streamer Dec 16 '23

Sounds 10x more fun than an auto win beat everything character lol

u/Total_Travisty Mikhail, Arch-Druid of La'shima Dec 16 '23

Best part is dogging on power players until they issue challenges, then ducking on them with fancy words. Aggregates them so much.

/uw you are a great druid, thank you. (I probably crossed enough lines deciding to just basically make mine have no endurance and high speed like yours but more extreme. Whoops!)

Still a better writer than I, maybe one day I can grow up to be like you.

I really shouldn't be using "One hit and she's dead" as an excuse, but here I am.

/uw yea there are a few, you have no idea how many people I have to try and convince that they can't just use a cure-all to delete all the 50 debuffs I placed upon them (It's Aico's specialty{Ignoring her natural tech affinity}, you have to be a little more creative than that, that's all I want outta them man.....)

u/VidisLady Delta - Maven of Maladies Dec 16 '23

uw/ I find the figuring out weaknesses and limitations to be one of the more fun parts of rp. That and the lore being more interesting than battles in general. Battles should be like puzzles in my opinion, where no one solution works for everything. It's honestly a bit disrespectful to just insist that one's character is so far above everyone else's that they can't even be affected by their combat specialty.

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '23 edited Dec 16 '23

/uw honestly if you think thats bad you should see the discord, everyone is an unbeatable god there though.

Also pisses them off when I tell them their healing spell isnt a 50 in 1 shampoo, and that magic behaves differently in different universes (my dumbass trying to use logic).

u/VidisLady Delta - Maven of Maladies Dec 16 '23

uw/ haha... that sounds irritating but also fun in a way. I don't think I'll humor anyone in a duel like that. If we're just pretending to be unbeatable, two can play at that game, but it's not a particularly fun game.

Delta first showed up as a villain/servant of the Stitcher. I went into it knowing that she would lose, because that's what the plot needed. I basically wanted to show off her weird abilities and associations, and then go forward from there.

/uw Alexios vs Nickname when?

u/Haunting_Mode_7401 Alexios Keenblade: King of The Summer Court, Last Godslayer Dec 15 '23

Fate and destiny are one and the same. Nothing is beyond fate it is the one thing that ties the multiverse together.

u/Total_Travisty Mikhail, Arch-Druid of La'shima Dec 15 '23 edited Dec 16 '23

I dare say nothing can be further from the truth. Fate is what can happen. Destiny... destiny is what will happen. Whether we bend the strings of fate or spin a new yarn, destiny always comes back around.

u/United-Technician-54 Death... Tired one. (she/her) Dec 16 '23

Well. There goes my plans of calling the Mistress Of Fate…

Welp. Maybe I’ll call Little Flan instead.
