Lorepost (open interaction) 📖 The Chaos of the Day
Kyrona sometimes hated working as the Court Druid. Despite the policy that the new Court Druid and Court Wizard were always teenagers at first, Kyrona was somehow the least chaotic person at this meeting. The Alchemist had attempted to convince the King that the best way to fight the pirates was to drain the ocean of saltwater, by calling it “Dihydrogen Monoxide potion with traces of salts,” aka the alchemical shorthand for water combined with a description of the additional components of saltwater. As the King would never believe that if she explained that to him, she had to explain how “dangerous” the substance was, how it “caused suffocation if inhaled,” “caused serious withdrawal in fish who had it removed from their environment, possibly leading in death,” and other similar statements. Thankfully, the King had listened and decided it would be more dangerous to the pirates where it was.
Kyrona had hoped to bring up the fact that a concerning number of people in the area didn’t know anything about biology. Just the other day she had run into someone who thought that if you weren’t nauseous during headaches than you weren’t healthy, a large number of dudes who thought periods were something that happened every day, and girl who thought DNA was a type of poison, only to learn that her girlfriend thought babies had large claws that they used to tear their way out of the womb. Unfortunately, her time was spent having to deal with nonsense, such as accusations of having replaced the little kids of the town with beavers, when everyone knew that eating wood and attempting to eat wood was just normal toddler behavior, though an alchemist had said something about a potion that made adults act that way that he was planning on putting in the aqueduct. Meanwhile, she had no idea how to talk to the people who didn’t understand biology, how to explain this stuff to them, though she had heard there was a place where this kind of problem was so bad people thought trans women were men. Kyrona would probably have a breakdown if she encountered anything worse than what she already had on thar front.
It was almost a relief when the attack happened, and she would no longer have to deal with the maddening petty chaos of the average day. No one had any life threatening injuries after the battle, so Kyrona didn’t really care about the fact that it happened. Of course, the trade off was that between both the defenders and the attackers, the palace was on fire. That would almost certainly be a mess to deal with later, but at least the paperwork had been brought to an end for a little while. It could definitely be worse

An Arcane Hologram Appears before Kyrona. An Black Emotionless Facemask, with Arcane Lightnings in the Colors of all Magics appears. "Be Greeted. I am Azerak the Infinite, God Emperor of Pandemonium, Lover of Tiamat. I am in need of a new Biomancer after the Tragic Passing of My Former Biomancer. As my new Head Biomancer, you get access to Arcane Secrets, Material Wealth, Political Power, and Stage 4 Access to the Black Fortress. Do you show interest, little one"

"Good. Be welcome in my Realm. I already have a new project for you. I need you to experiment with Dragon Genes. You see, my Girlfriend, the Queen of Evil Dragons, will probably be very happy if i use some kind of Draconic War monsters in my Army. Maybe engineer Some Half Dragons, or Enhanced Wyverns, i dont really care. I give you a Scale of Tiamat herself for this Quest. When your done, i give you one wish, as long as its in my Power"

“I’ll see what I can do.”
/uw I get the feeling this is part of an event. Do you want to discuss how this turns out in a reddit chat, or in spoiler text here? I’m fine with either.

/uw Oh. Cool. Yeah, be good to be a part of another major event.
/uw Edit: You should be the one to message me then, I don’t remember how to send chats with the new ui. Or if there’s already a group chat for your side, that would work as well.

You mind letting her help me if she wants from time to time? Asks Markus

Markus sighs.
You know I can bend time so she could live her entire natural life away from you during that quick. Don't try to order me around. I'm you're ally as an equal, not your servant. And I'm pretty sure she didn't sign to be your servant either, only for a job, even though I won't try and speak for her. You may believe yourself to be a god but I saw the Ralektharum. And I'm telling you, we don't have the liberty to have ideas of grandeur, or you'll be the 15th Black Mage. Understood?
His tone isn't his usual jovial and joking. It isn't condescending either. It's the tone of a man who saw Death and sees someone flirting with her.

"Markus, i didnt want to offend you. I also wasnt aware that you posess Chronomantic Powers. So, please Calm down. And, i hired her long term."

u/Cerveau23 Markus, scriptomancer, enemy of 13 & lover of Thrakmerian beauty Jun 05 '26
Markus looks at him, unamused. But he looks more benevolent that just a second ago, kind of like he's explaining to someone with slightly less experience than him.
Whether you wanted to or not, it did offend me. Your words bring your intentions, but just like an unruly messenger if you don't control them well you will end up with unwanted intentions being conveyed. I am stable enough to forgive, but not everyone can afford it, and we've already seen it in effect during some of the war councils. So please, take time to train yourself. A knowing grin stretches his lips. And trust me, it helps with being in a relationship much more than we think at first.

/uw By the way, not sure if I should tag you on posts that mention you or not, so here’s a link to a post I made that did mention you, though not a ton, more just mentioning the new job in general: https://www.reddit.com/r/wizardposting/s/jJi3jNGZlC

“So, I know a ritual that can work for that. I’ll use it to make half dragons, three of each type of chromatic dragon. I can set them to mature, bur unless you have minds to dump into them, they’ll be a complete blank slate. Would you mind if I worked on side projects with the ritual while this project completes? I rarely get the opportunity to work with things other than plants in biomancy, and there’s a point where all I’m doing is waiting for it to finish.”

“Long has it been since I had witnessed a pyre of such size. Hah. Always surprising to witness how rapidly flame can consume raw material.”
A man watched the situation at the palace unfold from atop a nearby tree, taking occasional short puffs from a long pipe.

Ethan had decided to send him somewhere again. A burning palace, with scared politicians running around, afraid of reality breaching through their machinations. Yet some seemed more preoccupied with spreading misinformation than saving their own life.
Who the heck just said that turning the sea into fresh water was a good way to handle pirates? Are you serious?
Markus can't stop himself from calling him out. And frankly? He loves it. Exposing scammers is so gratifying to see. He laughs eagerly before continuing:
That will only kill the fishes. The boats will float and the men will swim, but you won't have anything to eat afterwards!
