🛼: has you asked about Pokémon AU...

📳😤❌👶🏻👴🏻

Okay. I'm going to be honest.

"Lazurite" is going to take a break as my writing exercise. I'm thinking about deleting it because I don't think I'll be picking it up again anytime soon.

The reason for this is that I am not a fan of work overload. My main fanfiction is demanding enough to have it and another project at the same time.

So I will start a new fic to continue my writing and translating excercise called "Sapphire Hearted" and it will also be an AU, but set in the universe of Dragon's Dogma.

And let me get straight to the point: Dragon's Dogma is one of my favorite games, so writing about that universe is more satisfying to me than writing about Pokemon.

I really want to apologize to the people who liked Lazurite. I don't like to change projects like this, but with DD2 coming soon, I feel the need to imagine Hal and Lina there.

Thanks for your Support.

" The guy started to laugh, his hoarse voice echoing dangerously.

- Shut your mouth! We don't want to attract it. Do you understand? -I shouted.

- Listen snoutband...

I had never heard Hal sound so serious and deep before.

- She's my Arisen, the one who summoned me. And even if there's an ogre on the road, she'll always be safe in my hands. And believe me when I say: I can defeat that ogre with my own hands."

"- Are you telling me that I'm ugly?

- Well... you said that she's your Arisen. That is how she created you. I think you're barking up the wrong tree...

"How dare you?" I clenched my fists. He turned his eyes to her. He's pushing me to my limits...

- Yes, she's my master, I'm hers, and I must protect her to the death.

I spat out the sentence with as much conviction and vehemence as I could muster.

The pawn just laughed and closed his eyes, refusing to get involved. I turned to look at the Arisen; her face was calm. Seeing her so vulnerable, her chest rising and falling gently with her breathing... I was worried just by thinking about what could happen to her...

- I guess she has a taste for the weird ones, huh? The ones that look like bookworms...

I felt my temples tighten.

- If she is fond of oddballs, then why did she hire you?

Snake opened his eyes and avoided my gaze.

- Okay, smartass.

- Come on, Mister Sarcasm. If my Arisen has such bad taste in people. What did she see in you?

- Simple. She needs to have a strong pawn.

- I'll give you that one. You're right, and there's no secret behind that logic. But other than that, I can't see anything else to like about you."

I'm improving with Snake...

(from arisenreborn o/) Pawn #1, Arisen & Pawn #16, Misc. #6

Pawn: 1.- What is their inclination, and what about them (if anything) might set them apart from others of their inclination?

Hal is a calm, young pawn (summoned recently for the first time) who loves to learn. He is a *bookworm* (as Snake refers to him) and he has a real interest to understand humans and their behavior.

He struggles to understand his own emotions, and perhaps his big curiosity and ability to create objects is something that sets him apart from the other Pawns.

Arisen and Pawn: 16.- What is the “silliest” order VS what is the “worst” order your Arisen has given your Pawn? (These things potentially don’t have to be separate.)

This is a tricky question because Lina does not see Hal as a pawn. So she always tries to make "agreements" about Hal's actions…

Misc: 6.- What would be their idea of a perfect date or hangout?

Hal would like to be alone with Lina, sitting in the grass, enjoying nature. He would help Lina to gather flowers for her collection of flower presses, and maybe even go fishing for her.

In Lina's pov, she would like to eat fruits from the trees, and probably being in bed cuddling for hours.

"Snake managed to steady himself, swung his sword and buried it directly into the shoulder. This caused the Arisen to be thrown to the ground in fury.

- HAL!

I ran.

...

I ran with all the strength, I had to get to her.

Arms outstretched.

In my mind I could see her lying on the ground, shattered like a vase.

My chest tightened, disappointed at not having helped her.

for failing in my mission.

Without a single Wakestone to do anything for her.

My fingers caress the air...

My legs stretching, tensing, like the finest strings of a violin, pulling at my thighs."

" "So... there you are, Arisen... come... come to me... Come and prove yourself!"

He lowered his head and prepared to charge the building like a bull.

- It's... the end... -I murmured, swallowing hard.

There's no way out. I won't make it out of the building in time.

My knees bent, preparing for impact. I put my hands in front of me to stabilize myself as the huge footsteps moved the earth beneath my feet.

As soon as I heard the first chunks of the building collapse, I closed my eyes for a second as I ran in a desperate attempt to get on the dragon's back.

I held my breath. Tensely, I stretched my hands out as far as I could to grab onto its scales.

The gloves turned to dust on contact, my bare hands struggling against the roughness of the material, trying to hold on with whatever strength I could muster, desperately clinging to life...

But, why?

I am not a great person. Life isn't great either....

I have no wealth, no family to fight for...

Mom...

I think...

Maybe... I love life the way it is.

Even though in the eyes of a normal person... I may not be happy...

"That's... That's it! Hold on to your life. Hold on unconditionally to your desire to live... Arisen"

Then everything went black.

"If you want to keep on living... Come... Find me..."

"Upon entering the building, a strange pawn waited inside: His hair was graying, neat and tidy. His eyes were strong and his skin was wrinkled.

"How is it possible for a pawn to look like this? Was he created like this?"

I've heard some stories that say that pawns will inevitably transmute, turning like their Arisen if they spend a long time with them, and that it's unavoidable.

"Is that true?"

A sudden laugh escaped my lips as I imagined transforming into a woman...

"Hilarious! Isn't it?"

Even without uttering a single word, the wisdom in him was palpable. He bowed before her with the characteristic greeting of pawns.

- Blessed be, Arisen. We rejoice at your arrival in the guild. Our kind are pleased to be at your service.

His palm glowed fervently between the folds of his skin. My blue eyes inspected every inch of his hand.

"Is this what the Arisen felt upon her first sight of me?"

My skin crawled with a warm sensation.

There is definitely something special about this pawn.

- Some pawns call me "Colonel". But the name my Arisen gave me many years ago is Roy. By a twist of fate, I am the commander of the Pawn's Guild here in Gran Soren..."

YAY! Now all chapter had their drawings so I can write again!

used @maejiun_sht base as reference

The round version I made for the banners 🧡

I feel so comfortable making drawings in this style, because it allows me to make mistakes and work more with anatomy, and modify the bases I use as reference. IDK if it will be correct to say that I'm improving, but I certainly love to see this style in the dragons dogma fanfiction.

Snippet sunday

I was taggged by @arisenreborn and it's my first time doing this! tagging: @kleiner-ghost @hc-svnt-dracones95 and anyone else with something they're working on!

Here is a segment I like in my fanfic "Saphire Hearted", chapter 5. Remember that the hyphen is a dialogue:

"I could swear that Hal was still looking at him, no matter how hard he tried to hide it. When the innkeeper was far enough away, he asked as I sipped a glass of sangria.

- So, does William feel something towards your person?

The sangria tried to get up my nose and I tried to stop myself from laughing.

- What's that? No, Hal! Not all the men are trying to flirt with me or anything like that!

- Why is he so close to you then?

- Well, he was my boss. I used to work in this place. In that kitchen.

- I don't believe you...

- Do you think I am interested in William?

- I realize he's an older man. But I can see that he might appeal to many women. 

He straightened up, eyes fixed on him.

Naturally.

He must be making comparisons.

- I understand the way you are thinking. After all, William could be quite desirable to many women; he owns and operates his own lands, he's widowed, childless, and young enough to remarry...

His eyes penetrated me.

- But you're missing something. Women in our society are just objects, like pawns. We are just currency to be exchanged for money, work or land. All in order to guarantee a better and more sustainable life for our offspring... Couples are not made from love.

He sipped sangria and tasted it.

- I don't want to live that way. I have faith that one day women will be able to choose what they do for themselves and who they love. Not just to be a part of a stingy system that doesn't take care of them. Maybe that's why the dragon picked me. Perhaps it's a punishment, because I have a very different way of thinking."

"I gestured for him to come closer, tapping the surface of my bed. He calmly got up from the floor and sat down again, this time next to me on the edge of the bed. Shyly, he raised his eyes; light blue like Cassardis' sea, revealing his concern."

Glad to tell you that I already uploaded a new chapter of "Saphire Hearted". Now Lina's team is complete!

I will keep you safe, Arisen.

WIP Wednesday!

(A little late but still!) This time @fangbangerghoul tagged me and I have to tell you that I'm working on a second ending for the Dragon's Dogma fic. The problem is that I lost a big part, because at some point Microsoftword.exe didn't save it. So I got a little depressed about it (I realized this yesterday), so I will share the beginning of it.

Don't believe people who say: "There's nothing new under the sun".

That's not true.

The most unexpected things can happen.

And that's quite a lot when you consider that I'm just a pawn.

As you probably already know (or suspect), the age of a pawn is difficult to determine. I don't know exactly how many human years, how many Springs I've seen go by, but I can say that I've worked with more Arisen than I can really remember or count.

Still, my memory can only recall two of them: the one who gave me life, and the one who made me feel emotions. Their will, and determination were astonishing. The one that gave me life, my own Arisen appeared to be a decent, reasonable person with an unbreakable will, but he gifted me the most bitter feeling: Disappointment.

Some might say: He was the one who made me a being with feelings, and maybe that's the truth, but, in my opinion, she had something special.

Something strange and inexplicable.

"I like to think that we are like moths drawn to the light; this warm, powerful aura that the Arisen have…"

Today, Hal's words carry a different weight, they're like an echo in my mind, haunting me.

Many Awakenings have come and gone… Different Arisen… Different motivations and wills.

But somehow… I feel guilty

Regardless how much experience I once bragged about…

I never expected anything like this.

We had been together for a long time, I'd say months.

Lina was the one chosen by the Dragon in this dimension as the Arisen, the one who would finish him and free the world from the disaster dressed in Crimson. Hal was always by her side. A skinny, eye-glassed, book-loving pawn, brilliant and creative. At first I despised his lack of courage and his shyness.

Now, in retrospect… I can't ignore his true qualities.

His mental agility and his almost unnatural effort to understand life and people; Sensitive, always looking out for her happiness and that of those with whom he lived, including me and Meryl.

How stupid I was.

Surely, as he mentioned on more than few occasions, my "muscular brain" made me indifferent to what some people call the "intelligence of the heart".

If only I had noticed this earlier… I might have noticed that there was something strange going on from the very beginning…

It's no news that Arisens could bring joy to people.

And envy too.

For some strange reason, the negativity becomes endearingly attractive to minds in despair and uncertainty of the approaching end (perhaps this is something triggered by the Dragon's presence).

That day, a stranger approached the Arisen and begged for help. He pulled out a weird piece of paper that claimed to be a letter from a well-known person.

They were barely readable, asking for help to get home, from Bloodwater Beach to Grand Soren.

A long and complicated journey.

To be honest, I have to make yourself clear that it's not uncommon to receive requests for escort, especially on the road, but…

What the hell was that person doing out there in the first place?

Bloodwater Beach is one of Gransys' most remote and inhospitable places…

Why should we help that person?

These questions weren't asked back then.

And maybe that's why I'm here now...

📻 For Lina!

I Will talk about a song from this playlist.

The first, Schala's theme from Chorno Trigger, is a melody that has all Lina's essence.

Spoilers about DD fic under the cut

Because just as Schala sacrificed himself to save her brother and the Sages in her game, Lina will embrace her self-sacrifice as Seneschal, and she will be trapped in the cycle with Hal.

This fits Hal's personality like a glove.

Silly things to do on a Monday evening: develop a fondness for the concept art pawn squad.

It reminds me of this scene from Pluto...

"I love looking into your water-colored eyes and seeing your kind soul so easily..."
