11 species (but see text)
Amnirana is a genus of frogs in the family Ranidae, "true frogs".[1][2] The genus is primarily found in Sub-Saharan Africa, but one species occurs in parts of southern and southeastern Asia.[1][3] Some of the African species are widespread but contain undescribed cryptic diversity.[4] Most (but not all) species have a white upper lip,[3] and the genus is sometimes known as the white-lipped frogs.[1]

Taxonomy[edit]

Amnirana was originally introduced as a subgenus of Rana). It was often included in the then-diverse genus Hylarana, until Oliver and colleagues revised the genus in 2015, delimiting Hylarana more narrowly and elevating Amnirana to genus rank.[1][3] Within the genus, Amnirana nicobariensis appears to be the sister taxon of the African clade of species, but the data are inconclusive. With more data available to resolve possible non-molecular synapomorphies of the genus, A. nicobariensis might become recognized as a separate genus.[3] A later study suggested it to be closer to other Asian Hylarana sensu lato than to African Amnirana.[4]

Description[edit]

The current delimitation of Amnirana is primarily based on molecular evidence in combination with geography. No morphological diagnosis is available, and the genus shows variability in characteristics that have been suggested to have diagnostic value within the genus Hylarana sensu lato. The body is robust and medium to very large in size. The dorsum) is smooth to shagreened in texture and uniform to mottled in pattern. The upper lip is usually white, but it is dark in Amnirana lepus. Males have paired vocal sac, which may be internal or protrude externally.[3]

Species[edit]

There are 12 recognized species:[1][2]
In addition, the AmphibiaWeb recognizes Amnirana longipes as a valid species,[2] whereas the Amphibian Species of the World,[1] following Jongsma and colleagues,[4] considers it synonym) of Amnirana albolabris. Nevertheless, the "true" species number is likely to be substantially higher, with molecular data suggesting at least seven new African species.[4]

2024.05.03 01:12 ---Spacepants--- Any tips for selling crochet patterns for someone without a lot of time on their hands?

I've created a few of my own projects and feel like others may enjoy them too. So, I decided to make my first pattern of something I'm really proud and try to make some extra money on the side.
After googling around I've got all of the basics down (pictures, format, testing, etc.), but the one big thing they all say, which I can't do is the social media aspect. I don't have a blog, TwitteX, Instagram or friends that crochet. Facebook and Reddit are really my only social media accounts (I guess I'm kind of a weird type of millennial 😅).
Between dealing with a teenager, toddler, work, cooking and relaxing family time I really don't have time to do all of that other stuff.
Without the socials will my stuff just get lost in the sea of Ravelry?
Is there a free place/group where I can peddle my patterns?
Are there other reliable sites besides Ravelry or Etsy that I can post to?

2024.05.03 00:59 Scantra Is the child free movement morphing into child hate?

Hey guys. I made a TikTok video recently about how the term "child free" has negative connotations and got so much hate including someone trying to get me to lose my job.
So I wrote this piece, and would like a perspective from other parents and see if I should try to publish this.
In recent years, a quiet but powerful shift has been occurring in how we talk about personal life choices, particularly the decision not to have children. The "child-free" movement, as it is known, champions the choice to live without children as not just a personal preference but a distinct lifestyle. While this movement empowers many, its nuances and underlying messages deserve a closer look, especially concerning a subset of adherents who may inadvertently promote a sentiment that can be construed as "child hate."
The term "child-free" itself is a significant point of contention. On its surface, it's a neutral descriptor: free of children. Yet, much like "sugar-free" or "smoke-free," the implications of this phrasing can extend beyond the mere absence of something to suggest a liberation from a burden. This perspective, when amplified in certain circles, can subtly shift from an empowering personal choice to a broader cultural statement that children are impediments to a fulfilling life.
It's important to note that many who identify as child-free do so without any malice toward children or parents. They seek to live authentically in a way that suits their aspirations, capabilities, and dreams. However, there is a vocal subset within this group whose rhetoric can veer into problematic territory, where the advocacy for a child-free lifestyle can start to sound disdainful of those who choose to raise children.
This disdain can sometimes manifest in derogatory language, where children are pejoratively referred to as "crotch goblins" or similarly disrespectful terms. Such language not only dehumanizes children but also alienates parents, contributing to a divisive social environment. An example that illustrates this tension is The Lower Red Lion, a bar that proudly advertises itself as "dog friendly, child free." This choice of words, while seemingly innocuous, underscores a preference that elevates pets over children, suggesting that the latter are less desirable or welcome.
Moreover, demographic trends reveal interesting patterns that intersect with these cultural attitudes. For instance, birth rates in traditionally liberal "blue states" tend to be lower than in conservative "red states." This phenomenon could partly reflect differing cultural values regarding family and children, influenced by economic factors, lifestyle preferences, and perhaps the prevalence of child-free advocacy in more liberal areas.
The public discourse extends beyond simple preferences and into online platforms where sentiments can become especially polarized. A personal experience on TikTok where I discussed the term "child-free" elicited responses that were startlingly vitriolic, including one user stating, "I would rather allow a dog in my business than a child." These comments highlight the severity of how polarized this issue has become.
Another emerging trend that illustrates the increasing cultural shift is the concept of "child-free" weddings. More couples are choosing to exclude children from their wedding celebrations, which, while often framed as a decision for logistical ease and atmosphere control, also subtly reinforces the notion that children are less integral to social gatherings and family celebrations. A recent report by the New York Times highlighted this trend, revealing that out of 4,000 surveyed couples in 2024, an overwhelming 79.5% were in favor of having child-free weddings.
The consequences of such narratives can be far-reaching. They can influence policy, societal norms, and the personal feelings of individuals who are parents or children themselves. Children who grow up in an environment where they feel unwelcome or viewed as burdens may experience impacts on their self-esteem and social development.
Moreover, when these sentiments are politicized, they can lead to polarized communities where the choice of whether or not to have children isn't just a personal decision but a political statement. This polarization does not benefit society. Instead, it fosters divisions and distracts from the real issues that all families face, such as the need for better childcare, education, and work-life balance policies.
In addressing these issues, it is crucial not to stigmatize the child-free choice but to foster a dialogue that respects personal decisions while questioning the broader implications of how these choices are framed. We need to encourage a respectful exchange of ideas that considers the value of all lifestyles without disparaging others.
The goal should not be to condemn those who choose not to have children but to ensure that this choice does not morph into an active disdain for those who do. Balancing personal liberty with mutual respect is key in navigating the complex terrain of modern family life. We must strive to create a society where every person, irrespective of their familial choices, feels valued and respected.

Chapter One
.

.
-Factory Floor of the White Flame Industries Magifactory-
“First of all, I’d like to introduce you to your new co-workers. To reiterate, they aren’t directly from the hell-plane.” Master Demonologist Thippily was in his element, smiling and excited. He stepped aside to reveal an engraved chest behind him. He opened it, revealing a neat grid of small dark rods, each in their slot. He pulled out a single ebony imp totem and held it high so everyone could see it. The room was bright, lit by the narrow windows spaced evenly around the huge room, and some glass skylights overhead, and astonishing extravagance for Pine Bluffs.
“This is the totem. Without going into some super interesting details, this is what projects the imp, as well as binds it to our plane of reality.” Grigory paused, clearly waiting for someone to ask him to explain in more detail. Everyone in the room had fallen into that trap before and knew to keep their mouths shut. “They need to be invoked into our reality, but the invocation is a very simple gesture. Interestingly, the invocation itself doesn’t require magic, it’s all self-contained, just hold the thick side of the totem and–”
Grigory flicked the totem with a swift twist of his wrist, summoning a muted thunderclap that heralded the appearance of a tiny, dull-red demon. It materialised midair, landing with a soft clatter of hooves on the stone floor. It regarded its surroundings with its one big eye and sat down cross-legged, its big knobby knees sticking out widely.
Taritha, along with most of the rest of the audience, took some involuntary steps back in horror. It was grotesque, inhuman—a parody of a man, so diminutive that she could have trapped him in a woven basket. Though taller than a squirrel, its scrawny frame suggested it weighed no more than one. Sitting perfectly still it was less threatening, but the air itself stank of hell. Looking around, Grigory and Stanisk were both smiling, like they were waiting for us to get a funny joke, while the entire crew stared horrified at the little imp.
Grigory continued, with a showman’s cadence, ”First of all let me once again say they are safe! Imp! Take this knife and bring me Stanisk’s ear!” The demonologist crouched low with his silvered steel pocket knife on his open palm.
Before anyone could react, the imp just said, “Nerp.” Stanisk for his part didn’t look remotely worried.
“No matter what you ask it to do, it will refuse the order if it would hurt any living thing. Very safe! Well, large living things? People and animals for sure!” Grigory folded his knife and put it back in his pocket. “Come to the side, I’ll show you more why this is the most potent magic I’ve ever used. I’ve not finished furnishing your quarters yet, so let's work on that.” He led them across the floor to the side where a few planks were on one of the shelves, practically lost in the scale of the room.
As he spoke, he performed a different and more elaborate gesture over the chest. Like popcorn, a steady stream of imps popped into existence; Taritha lost count at twenty, with more continuing to appear. Without hesitation, they pulled tiny tools from boxes. The low, wide benches around the perimeter were actually imp-sized workbenches designed for such tasks. “Imps, craft one writing desk, sturdy with martial engravings. Use both pine and walnut,” he ordered.They moved quickly and confidently, and without a sound, other than the tools against the wood. It was an overwhelming swirl of activity, with so much happening at the same time that she couldn’t follow it all, so she focused on a single imp. He (it?) wielded a chisel in both hands and shaped a plank while two other imps held the plank firm. In as little time as it took for her to take it in, it was done. It started on another plank, while yet another imp ran away with the finished board.
Edging closer for a better look, their rapid, nimble movements were even more unnatural. Their limbs were long and agile, flitted about with eerie precision. The sight clawed at my gut, as revolting as watching a spider write a song with a quill on parchment. Their faces, such as they were, barely watched their own work.
Still reeling from what she saw, Taritha watched as one imp finished up and another sprinted away with the board. Then, the first imp picked up a tiny broom to tidy his workspace. Once the sawdust and shavings were cleared, it replaced its tools and sat down on the workbench, legs crossed, back straight and his single eye open and regarding the demonologist. Looking further down the row, she saw that the countless parts had been assembled into what was by all accounts an amazing desk. The imps covered the entire bench, still too many to count.
A pot wouldn’t have even started to boil in the amount of time it took them to build that thing!
Grigory noticed the discomfort in the room; everyone seemed torn between their unease with the demons and their curiosity about the work being done. He decided to remove their distraction. 'Imps, stand at the kilns,' he commanded crisply.
“Merp!”
The imps bounded and sprinted across the entire factory to stand by the kilns, well out of the way, and stood in straight rows at the far side of the factory floor.
“Take a look, It might be a familiar level of quality. Oh, and those are the only two words they seem to know.” He gestured to the completed desk on the bench.
“Holy shit, they are as good as the guys that made our stuff in the barracks, this is amazing!” Ros gushed.
The desk, crafted entirely from wood, had no screws or brackets—only amazingly intricate joinery. Its surfaces were smooth to the touch, except for the vertical faces, which displayed scenes of war and battle. They were created in a palette of carved white pine and deep walnut, shaded with hellfire scorches—some almost too small to see.
“You don’t think that, uh, they’re the same guys?” Rikad ventured.
“No, I haven’t been sleeping on a demon bed this whole time? Have I?” Theros said with growing horror.
“Of course! Not just that, the mugs in the cabinet, the bedding, the clothes, literally everything from the midsummer festival! Imps made it all, most of that was late at night in my bedroom, to be honest!” Mage Thippily said, bursting with pride.
Theros looked down at his bright green shirt, one he’d worn countless times, and immediately pulled it off, threw it on the floor and took a few steps back. “It was touching me!”
Wow, he’s in really good shape, Taritha observed approvingly. A refreshing reprise from the stressful morning.
I’ve no idea how I’d react if I knew I was wearing demon-made clothes. Oh shit.
“Uh, were all the clothes you’ve given me made by imps?” She asked Stanisk, already knowing the answer.
His laugh was deep and rumbling, “I sure as goat balls ain’t been sitting in the lamplight with a lil needle! It's fine miss, they’re handy as hell. Put yer damned shirt on Theros, and let’s keep moving.”
Grigory continued, “Yes, don’t worry too much about complex imp commands, that’s my responsibility. You are welcome to come to the factory whenever you like if you need something, anything at all. But please, don’t make anything outside of this room, just to keep things neat.”
Mustering her nerve Taritha piped up, “Uh, Sir? Can they make me a new comb?”
The demonologist was almost giddy with excitement at her request. “Oh yes! Ask them to!”
“Uh, I’d like a comb please?” Taritha gently said towards the swarm of imps by the kiln.
Nothing happened.
“Ah, there’s a bit of a knack to it, miss. You’se gotta address ‘em, then make the request. Then stay silent for a bit, and they’ll go. Imps! Craft five wooden combs for a lady, all different styles.” Stanisk said firmly, with the same tone and cadence he ordered his men.
A small handful of imps sprinted across the floor back to their workbenches, and this time the combs were done staggeringly fast. The tool noise ended, and Stanisk collected the combs off the bench as they tidied up then sat cross-legged. He placed them all firmly into her hands with a big grin, his hands warm and callused. “Anythin’ that can be made, any time you’se want. It’s a better way to live.”
Of course, each comb was perfect and beautiful. Each was unique, all had patterns, textures, and carvings on the handle. Each was made out of both pine and walnut, giving a pleasing contrast with pale and dark.
I would have bought a plain one, but these are so much nicer than anything I’ve owned before.
The linseed oil was still a little slick on them, so she held off running them through her hair and gently placed them into her satchel. Already they were her most prized possessions.
Grigory added, “Feel free to get me or Stanisk if you need help, but you’ll catch on fast enough, they are simplicity itself! Anyways let's have a look at the common spaces, I think you’ll find them much nicer than that old warehouse!”
Grigory’s tour was terrifying and overwhelming. He introduced new appliances, concepts and enchantments with every breath. The kitchen had no fire, just pyrostones that could be activated by moving an inhibitor stone, and in both the ‘stones’ were carved into a pleasing functional shape. The water jugs were massive rooftop barrels, linked by copper pipes to a fixed basin he called a sink. There were countless other minor and major strangenesses. Even the plain parts, the high ceilings, the smooth tiled floors and sturdy doors blew her mind. She’d never seen anything as refined, effortlessly expensive. She assumed such things existed in the homes of the nobility, but she’d never seen a building as grand, let alone been inside one. The trappings of wealth and the unique, fully enchanted aspects ran together badly for her.
“--This mattress is a series of magically linked columns of woven wool that dynamically change their diameter, which in turn–” Grigory droned on excitedly gesturing towards a gorgeous bed, as big as her entire hovel.
“Sir, souls don’t exist at all, or just for demons?” Theros interrupted, his face clouded with worry.
“Oh. Uh, I’m sure you have a soul, just not one that I have any way of detecting, affecting or interacting with?” Grigory said. His brow was furrowed with concern. He continued as conciliatory as possible. “And afterlives are likely some extraplanar reality that is also entirely undetectable?”
“Whew, that’s a relief! Thank you milord!” his stress melted away and he returned his full attention to the tour.
“Right. Anyways, there are no hearths, the heating and cooling of each room is controlled by–” and Mage Thippily happily continued his tour. The men looked at each other, taking a half dozen different conclusions from the short exchange. They continued to the extravagant latrines, to the totally empty armoury, and finally ended on the factory’s roof.
As they ascended the final flight of stairs, Mage Thippily ushered his soldiers onto the expansive rooftop. "Here we have the rooftop garden," he announced with a grand sweep of his hand. The area had been meticulously reinforced, the stonework beneath their feet solid and reassuring. "Feel free to run drills here if you like. But," his voice warmed with pride, "this is my favourite part!"
The rooftop was a vibrant tapestry of newly potted plants, their leaves still tender and bright against the sun. They passed rows of greenery that hinted at future seclusion and colour. Familiar patio furniture, just like the ones they had at their last barracks, offered a semblance of continuity and sanity. In the centre, a gazebo stood like a freshly bloomed flower, its newness evident in the crispness of the vibrant canvas and the shine of the wood.
Approaching the north wall, Grigory leaned casually against the defensive ramparts, a solid structure that spoke of strategic design. His men gathered around, following his gaze outward.
Beyond the fortress walls, a wide expanse of forest stretched toward the horizon, its canopy a patchwork of greens and browns. Where the trees broke, the land transformed dramatically into a steep, rocky shore. Below, the Nerian Sea churned, its waves crashing against the cliffs with relentless, rhythmic fury. From this vantage point, the view of the coastline stretched magnificently—a panoramic display of nature’s unbridled power and beauty.
"I’m thinking of adding all-weather tables and chairs up here," The demonologist mused, breaking the silence as his eyes scanned the horizon. "Maybe some cover and heaters too, to turn it into a kind of three-season space." His gaze drifted back to his hirelings, a tacit invitation in his eyes. "Feel free to come up here whenever you like. I only ask that you don’t interrupt me if you see me reading or writing."
Taritha nearly scoffed aloud, the idea of interrupting him was so many layers of taboo that the thought hadn’t even formed. The men seemed more at ease here, and several took seats and talked excitedly. Others walked the long perimeter of the rooftop. The sides closest to the courtyard extended to the top of the perimeter walls, allowing them to walk all the way to the gatehouse. Ros stood near her, looking out at the ocean.
“I didn’t think I’d ever get to set foot in a palace like this!” he said in hushed reverence as she joined her.
“Yeah, the funny part is how humble the mage keeps making it sound. As if it’s a boring workman's hut. I have no idea how the emperor lives, but I bet he doesn’t have half as many things as the mage does!” Taritha grinned ruefully.
“Definitely fewer imps! What do you think of them? I think they are the most special thing ever!” Ros gushed.
“I don’t know. They disgust and revolt me, but I also see how they are useful. I worry my reaction is based on assumptions I’ve not examined? Mage, I guess Demonologist, Thippily has been nothing but kind and open in every interaction, so I think I’m okay? With living with demons.”
Just saying that out loud made her skin crawl.
“That’s good! It’ll be alright, if the Chief and the mage think it’s good, it’s good.” Ros declared resolutely. She envied his clarity.
“Yes, we just became a lot more dependent on his goodwill. On the other hand, he didn’t have to tell us anything. He could have lied or covered up,” she said, staring out at the ocean. She’d never been so high up. The slight slope of the woods meant she could see over most trees. It both scared and exhilarated her. She leaned forward to look down and was rewarded with dizzying vertigo. Holding onto the rough stone battlements with both hands she looked out into the grey blue of the inland sea. She could see some fishing boats, just specks near the horizon, far beyond the small scraggly islands that clustered near the shore.
“Are you gonna move in with us? You didn’t say anything when he made the offer.” Ros made another attempt at casual subtly.
That was the exact question she’d been asking herself. On one hand, it was an incredible offer: to live in what might be the most luxurious residence in the entire Empire. And it would be safer, too—while the guards weren’t exactly her own, here they might as well be. But at what cost? Memories of her mother, executed by the Church for witchcraft, haunted her. Would accepting this offer make the Church right about her bloodline? Would it make her just like the evil she’d always feared? Mage Thippily seemed certain that demons weren’t evil, just a chaotic part of a chaotic universe. He knew more about demons than anyone that’s ever lived!
It’s easier to sleep with a guilty conscience in a nice warm room with tall ceilings and a soft bed.
She made her choice, and her stomach lurched as if she’d jumped from the battlement. She took a slow steadying breath before replying.
“I’d be insane not to. Look at this place! Have you seen where I’m living now? No comparison!” Her light tone hid the storm of uncertainties that were making her lightheaded.
This doesn’t have to be forever. Plus the demons seem quiet.
“Let’s go get your stuff! I’ll help you move right now!”
“Ohhhhh, okay. I can’t think of a single reason not to do that right now,” Taritha said slowly.
They started back to the staircase, passing Stanisk on the way. He was quietly discussing something with the mage.
“Sir, is it alright if we go get Taritha’s stuff and move her in?” Ros’s voice crackled with excitement.
“Aye, that’s fine. Take a few others with you, to load the cart at the warehouse and get our gear too. You and the men take the rooms on the second floor, the miss here is too delicate by half for you’se brutes so set her up on the third, 3-C oughta work?”
“We can have a company dinner when you all return! Come up here when you are ready!” Demonologist Thippily commented from where he was sitting.
Stanisk added, “I probably don’t need to tell you’se but don’t NEVER discuss what happens here when in town. Never.” His tone was low and flat, but he made direct unblinking eye contact with them.
“Of course, sir,” Ros said and bowed awkwardly, and the herbalist nodded as they descended the way they came.
They made their way down through the residence side of the factory, crossing to the exit via the second-floor dormitories. Everything was so new, and a few things weren’t entirely finished –some doors leaned against the hallway, and several rooms weren’t furnished.
“There are twelve of you in security, excluding your boss, right?” she asked as they walked.
“Yeah, the same twelve as we had in Jagged Cove!” Ros confirmed cheerfully.
“So why do you reckon there are twenty rooms on this level, and I assume the same number on the other third floor?” she asked.
“Hmm, maybe in case we have visitors?” he offered.
“Strange. Oh, hey guys,” She greeted Eowin, Kedril and Theros as they waited at the end of the hallway.
“The Chief said you needed a hand with moving stuff?”
Ros quickly and clearly explained their plan, and they hooked up the horse and wagon and headed to town. The trip back to town seemed shorter as everyone quietly contemplated their new futures.
“So his, uh, helpers would have made all the stuff we’ve been using?” Kedril wondered aloud.
“Yeah, I specifically asked about the clothes! They all were. It sounds like everything he’s done, he kind of hasn’t done?” Taritha trailed off, unsure what she even thought.
“No, everything he did was even better! He made something that anyone can use! Any one of us could open a factory just like him now, it’s the magic that made the tool, which is a full step more impressive if you ask me,” Ros said.
“Wait, so all those people healed? Was that all with them?!” Theros said with growing horror.
“Nah, I was there, he‘s a regular mage too. I saw him heal them with normal biomancy.” She said as if she had a single other point of reference for what biomancy ought to look like.
They continued in contemplative quietude. The midweek afternoon was busy, and lots of townsfolk were doing their normal chores, fetching water, hauling bundles, and feeding their chickens. Their pastoral tranquillity undisturbed by the demonic horde just down the twisting narrow road to what was recently a swampy forest.
“You guys go on to the barracks and start packing, I’ll be able to bring most of my stuff by myself. I’ll meet you there.” Taritha said as they approached an intersection.
“I’ll give you a hand, the fellas will be pretty quick anyhow,” Ros said gallantly as he accompanied her home.
“Alright, but you can’t judge me for my hut! It’s hard to make a living here without a wealthy patron!” she said. She hadn’t really wanted anyone to know how she lived. City folk wouldn’t understand what it’s like scraping by to survive a winter.
“I’m already impressed! That you owned a place free and clear makes you one of the richest folk I know! Well definitely richer than anyone that would talk to me in the days before I worked for Mage Thippily!” Ros spoke with a smile neither proud nor ashamed of his past.
“What did you do before you were an elite mage guard? You said you were poor but city poor is like country rich! I bet you were the captain of the guard for some rich merchant or something!”” she guessed as she ducked past the hide flap into her hut. “Wait here.”
Ros found a hefty log of firewood with moss growing on one side of it. With a grunt, he manoeuvred it upright, fashioning a makeshift and somewhat precarious stool. Seating himself atop it, he settled in to wait for her, the forest sounds filling the quiet. “Something like that! I picked fruit in orchards, I swept alleys, I did plenty of stuff! I was way too scrawny to be a guardsman though. Stanisk probably only hired me because he’d had a few beers that night!”
The inside of the hut had some clanks and thumps but she didn’t reply. He folded his arms and looked around. He’d come to appreciate the ancient pine forests around the small town. They were actually in town, but surrounded as they were by trees, he felt like he was in the primordial forest. It was the first forest he’d ever seen and hadn’t spent much time in it. His duties kept him constantly busy, other than the work trip to kill the big staghog. Considering all the trees, mosses, low flowers, and darty animals he saw, it felt a little unfair that it just smelled earthy, with the barest hint of pine. If he were in charge of forests, they’d smell like a thousand living things all at once.
“Need a hand?” he offered after a bit longer. He didn’t want to rush her, but he was also happy to help. He was comfortable and wondering if he’d changed at least a bit. Sitting on a log with his thoughts was something he liked now.
“Thanks, Ros, I got it. Do you reckon I should bring my old mattress, or he’ll give me one like he showed us?”
“I can’t imagine him making you sleep on a sack of old hay, while we sleep in the magic beds he’s making. I’ll tell you what, if he does, you can sleep in my bed,” he offered.
“Hah! Just when I thought there were no wolves in these woods!” she retorted.
“Oh, Light no! I meant I’d sleep elsewhere! Oh, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean it like that!” he blurted. She poked her head out of the low opening, and Ros worried it was mainly to see his deep red blushing.
“Hah! Take this!” she said. His firewood stool fell forward with a bassy woomp as he went to take an ancient iron cook pot, filled to the brim with clay jars and a few dark glass bottles. He carefully held the precious cargo, aware of the clacking and rattling they made with even the slightest movement. A few seconds later she emerged with a few old dresses thrown over her shoulder and holding a stack of woven reed baskets in her hands.
“Just as well you came by, I had more stuff than I remembered. I hope I have space for it!” she said, slightly embarrassed. “Oh anyways, back to your big city days! It must have been hard to leave all that excitement and culture for this dump.”
“Are you kidding? I’m exactly where I want to be!” he said with disarming sincerity. “This is where the people I care about are, and it’s where the world will start getting better. I wouldn’t leave for, not for a whole sack of coins. Besides, I bet Stanisk is cooking dinner tonight, and he’s the best cook I ever met!”

2024.05.03 00:51 Niveker14 Lost in the Void (Part 17)

First Prev Next
The next two days passed much the same as the first day on the farm. Mark spent his mornings helping the Guckracks, his afternoons helping the locals, and his evenings tinkering. I spent my time meticulously studying him. His mannerisms, his speech patterns, and his body language. When I wasn’t feasting on the various stews and other dishes the family kept bringing out to me, that is. They were marvelous cooks, credit where it was due.
Finally, the morning arrived for our voyage to Gorling. Both Bun and Fizz, the two male elders of the family were going to the city with us for their transaction. They had a simple cart, pulled by two pormor. Two Faelor bred sten’s would be able to get us their in half the time as pormor, but it was still better than walking. A good ten minutes were wasted as everyone said goodbye to each other before we were finally able to set forth. I was informed by Fizz that it was not actually a full day’s travel to Gorling. We set out early enough that we should get there around mid afternoon
Mark wasted no time starting a conversation with the two drivers about their many children. Hours passed as the three discussed the current relationship statuses or lack thereof of older children that had moved out, what professions they’d taken up, where they’d moved to, how many grandchildren they knew about, desires for their extended family to visit more, and so on. The Crenulans certainly loved to talk, and Mark was all too happy to entertain them. I mostly tuned it out except for one detail that seemed relevant to our immediate situation.
Apparently, their second oldest, Stroz, was a merchant in Gorling which they were planning on seeing while in the city. Less relevant was the fact that he did not yet have a family unit, which seemed to be the primary focus of their long discussion about him. This seemed to distress the two greatly. Mark seemed to be on the son’s side, however, assuring the elders that he simply hadn’t met “the right ones” yet and he was sure to find a family eventually. The whole ordeal was dreadfully boring and I honestly think I’d have preferred we made the entire ride in silence.
Eventually, once all the children had been exhausted, the conversation turned to the various neighbors across the countryside. Mark joked about how the Stunkars must be trying to harvest rocks because they break their plow every week. They talked about all the little inventions Mark has been passing around and how everyone has been telling the Guckracks they are just so amazing and things are so much smoother and more productive when they start using them. This led into a peculiar exchange.
“Have you heard anything new about the Marlock Homestead?” Mark asked with a worried look on his face.
“The same.” Was all Bun replied.
Mark didn’t reply. The cart was silent for several minutes before Fizz picked up the conversation again with some gossip about another family. The conversation returned to the lively affair it’d been at before.
The sun had crested fully over us and was now making its way down the horizon. I could sense a change in the wind. The smell of brine. We were very near to the coast now. I could hear the sound of more and more carts ahead of us. There it was. Gorling. Its great walls stretched around the city for miles, a remnant of its time as an independent city-state at war with the crown. Towering buildings stretched up into the sky behind the walls. A marvel of Faelor architecture. A small taste of home. Unlike home, many of the buildings had a green hue to them as copper was used extensively throughout this city.
We joined the traffick and entered the city without any fanfare. We rode our cart to an inn near the outer quarters of the city, where Bun informed us this is where they would be staying for the night and to meet them back here by tomorrow to ride home. It seemed to be a rather meager inn, considering we were in Gorling, and I noticed there were only Crenulans patronizing the establishment.
“I know you were wanting the maps to be the first priority, but I think it would be best if we made our way to a clothier first. It will take them time to make an outfit to your… specifications, whereas maps can be purchased as is. So we should put our order in for our dress clothes as early as possible.” I suggested.
Mark’s eyes seemed to make a loop around the top of his face, but he agreed to my proposal. I was unfamiliar with the specifics of this city and Mark was at a loss for where to purchase Faelor clothing, but he knew there was a massive market near the center of the city following the main thoroughfare, so that’s where we went first. With so many people walking down the roads, I did find it odd that no one noticed a foreign species walking in their midst, but Mark was right. No one seemed to pay him much mind. It helped that the Crenulan garbs he wore were quite bulky and hid his figure. He also had them pulled up to mostly cover his face. He could almost pass for a Faelor with an atrocious sense of fashion, if you didn’t notice the lack of a second set of arms.
After asking around, I kept being directed to Madame Glowing Sun’s Finery Emporium as the most fashionable and most expensive location to purchase clothing from, so that’s precisely where I went. The shop itself was located at the bottom floor of a tall building. The rest of the building was most likely residential. Walking in, there were an assortment of sashes and gowns on display, as well as coats and pants for all sexes. I didn’t bother with the floor displays however, I walked directly to the attendant sitting in the back.
As I got closer, behind the counter I could see a young Faelor female, perhaps even too young to be working at an establishment like this. She had her feet propped up and she was chewing on something while reading from a paper.
As I approached she lazily said, “Welcome to Madame Glowing Sun’s Finery Emporium. Feel free to browse our finery.” She didn’t even look up from what she was reading.
Excuse me young lady, but I need a custom order. Two custom order’s in fact.” I said.
We have many sashes and gowns to choose from on display.” She said, looking up from her paper with just her top two eyes, still chewing like some Crenulan sow.
I intend to have a meeting with the Crown and I’m afraid your standard garb will simply not do. Plus, I doubt anything you have on display would accommodate my guest.” I insisted.
You have a meeting with the crown, huh? Yeah… whoa… what is that thing?!” The young girl said, finally noticing Mark. For the first time, her full focus was off of whatever she was reading and was now on us.
Young lady, I am Lady Morning Breeze. A Traveler. And this is an as yet unidentified species I have discovered in my travels. His name is Mark.
A… A traveler… just a moment.” The young girl said, darting behind the curtain into the back room.
“She seemed a little spooked.” Mark said as we waited for whatever was going to happen.
“She was impudent is what she was.” I corrected him.
So, what do we have here? A traveler is it?” An older Faelor female walked out from behind the curtain. She was dressed in a sparkling gown and had an overly large green sash. She spoke with an air of authority and dismissal.
I am Morning Breeze. A Faelor Travelor and a Lady of the Dawning Sun Over The Great Sea community.” I gave my full introduction.
Hmph, right. Well, we’ll see.” The elder Faelor said, as she pulled a small booklet from under the counter. She flipped through a few pages before finding the one she was looking for. She stared at the page a moment then took a hard look at me. She looked at the page once more, then back to me. The page. Then back to me. “By the Great Fae! It is you! My sincerest apologies your lady! You would be surprised how often we get younglings in here trying to scam us out of a dress claiming to be travelers. I am Glowing Sun. A Lady of the Rolling Hills and Deep Valleys community. A pleasure to meet you.
A pleasure as well. I’m not familiar with the Rolling Hills and Deep Valleys community.” I said.
Ah, well. We are local to Gorling. We go all the way back to the city’s founding. But we are loyal to the Crown! Very loyal! And I would be happy to service anything you need from my illustrious establishment.” Glowing Sun replied.
I proceeded to explain our situation, that we are planning on having an audience with the Crown and we needed attire to match such a royal occasion. As well as the unique challenge of clothing my companion. She seemed more than happy to accommodate us, especially - she added - if we mentioned where the clothes came from if anyone asked.
Just a moment. I need to collect my measuring equipment for your… friend here.” She said as she left us alone again, retreating behind the curtain.
“This is a little awkward. I can only understand half of what you all are saying.” Mark said. “You’re definitely going to have to help me out on my Faelo if I’m going to be acting as a diplomat.” He added.
“Noted.”
“And if we do get everything approved, I’m going to have to try to teach you my language too, so you can use the A.P.S. on your own. A little cultural exchange, how does that sound?” He asked.
“I’d like that very much.”
We were standing there alone for much longer than I’d expect for someone to just grab some measuring equipment when Glowing Sun finally came back. She had Mark take off the bulky Crenulan clothes so she could get more accurate measurements. Luckily, he was wearing his underclothes again.
Such a fascinating specimen! I’ve never seen anything like him before. Where did you say you found him?” Glowing Sun asked as she was measuring his leg circumference.
I think that information would best be saved until I could write a full scholarly report and address it to the Crown.” I answered.
Oh very well. It will certainly be an interesting challenge to make a proper dress coat and pants with his dimensions. At least I’ll save material on sleeves!” She said, pointing to his ribs. “Of course, all that savings will be lost by just how thick I’ll need to make the remaining holes. Well, I have everything I need from him, let me get your dimensions now and I’ll be all set.” She said as she transitioned to measuring me. “This is going straight to the top of my priority list. I should have both done by tomorrow afternoon. So where are you staying anyway?” She asked.
Oh, well. I’m not sure. Our ride was staying at some Crenulan inn on the outskirts of the city.” I said.
That simply won’t do! My lady, I tell you this, my sister of the Rolling Hills and Deep Valleys community, Midnight Sky, owns the Rolling Deep Hotel! Its a luxury hotel for dignitaries and visiting nobles. It’s the only place for you, I tell you this. I will send word that you are coming. She will have a place for you tonight, that I can promise you. And I’ll let her know you have a… guest with you as well.” She said, gesturing toward Mark.
Very well. I appreciate your hospitality. May the Great Fae bless you on this day.” I say.
Oh, I think she already has.” Glowing Sun said, finishing up her measurements. “I’ll see you tomorrow afternoon my lady.
We exited the shop as I explained to Mark that the clothes wouldn’t be ready until tomorrow afternoon and that we’d been offered a place to stay for the night at the Rolling Deep Hotel.
“Oh. I actually know that place. Never been there myself, but you can’t miss it. It’s a big landmark nearer to the water. Seemed like a place for fancy Faelor to me. Must have a good view of the ocean from the upper floors though.” Mark said. “Now, while there is still daylight and the shops are still open, can we please go look for some maps? We’ll head in that direction anyway, because I imagine all the best cartographers will be near the ports anyhow.” Mark added.
We visited no less than three different shops before Mark found something he was satisfied with. The first place only had maps of sealanes. The second place Mark claimed the maps weren’t detailed enough, much to the chagrin of the shopkeep. The third place, Mark finally found what he was looking for. We entered just as the place was about to close. The Crenulan running the store assured us that, actually - it was fine. He was happy to stay and let us browse. He also explained that he wasn’t the creator of the maps, he just ran the storefront for the Faelor who made them, but that he was an incredibly talented man who couldn’t busy himself with such mundane things as running a store when he had important maps to be making.
“Look at the detail on this thing. It’s got the whole continent here. And look, here’s Gorling, and there - you can even see where the Guckrack ranch is.” Mark had pulled out a magnification lens and was focusing on the details of the Northwest portion of the map. “Let me just check the scale real quick… yeah, look at that,” he said as he was pressing on his wrist device, “it’s nearly perfect. Whoever made this map must be some kind of obsessive personality. If the rest of the map is as accurate as this tiny portion… I think we hit the jackpot here. How much?” He asked the Crenulan shopkeep.
“Oh… that one? Um… Well… you see… Um…” The shopkeep began stuttering.
“Yeah, this one, how much do you want for it?” Mark reiterated.
“Well… I was explicitly told by master Long Journey not to sell that one… because… well… it’s not completed yet.” He said, pointing to the small Southeastern peninsula in the corner of the map. “In fact, that’s where master Long Journey is right now… he’s out on an expedition to finish mapping all of Fael, and he just has that bit left to complete upon his return.”
Mark looked at me and shook his head. “It’s always something. Can we come back tomorrow and… admire the map some more?” He asked.
“Well, I don’t see the harm in that.” The Crenulan offered.
Mark led me out of the shop and explained, “I don’t actually need to buy the map. I can scan it in the shop, but it’s going to take me most of the day. Would be easier if I could do it from the privacy of my own workshop back home, but we’ll make it work. Now lets go to this fancy hotel of yours. I could go for a little luxury right about now.”
We weren’t far from the Rolling Deep Hotel, and Mark was right - the building was an obvious landmark. It was by no means the tallest building in the city, but it was the tallest building in this section of the city. It had a grand entrance with room for dozens of carts, chariots, or any number of transports. It was clearly located in such a way that you could get here by taking the main thoroughfare through the entrance of the city or from the docks if you came by sea. The building was covered in fresh copper - not weathered green like much of the city.
As we entered the lobby we were greeted by a fresh faced Faelor male who seemed to be expecting us. “Lady Morning Breeze! And… guest? Um… right this way.” He said, momentarily stuttering as he noticed Mark, but quickly regaining his composure. The young man led us to a large stairwell with an older Faelor woman standing at the bottom of the flight. “Lady Morning Breeze of the Dawning Sun Over The Great Sea community, may I introduce you to Lady Midnight Sky of the Rolling Hills and Deep Valleys community.” he said before quickly retreating.
Lady Midnight Sky was wearing a deep blue gown that went all the way to the floor. It sparkled in a similar manner as Glowing Sun’s did. She was also wearing some kind of bejeweled headpiece between her antenna. In a fashion choice that seemed to clash with the rest of her ensemble, she was wearing a large, ruffled, green sash.
Lady Morning Breeze! I am honored to have such a distinguished guest staying at our renowned establishment. And let me assure you, you are welcome here, not just tonight, but for as long as your travels will you.” She said with an ever so slight bow.
I am honored to accept your hospitality and offer blessings and tales of my travels in exchange.” I answered.
That won’t be necessary. At least not tonight. It’s getting late, I’ve reserved a special room for you,” she said, holding out a key, which I accepted. “Room 703. Top floor. Fantastic view of the ocean. You’ll love it. Please, let me see you to your room.” She said, as she began escorting us through the hotel. To say the place was lavish would be an understatement. Even by Crownland standards, this hotel was clearly making a statement.
Something seemed wrong about my interaction with Midnight Sky. My politician nerve was twitching. I was used things being provided to me for free, but this seemed above and beyond the call of duty to a traveler and she wasn’t even interested in my blessings. I couldn’t quite place it however. Mark and I followed the hotelier in silence until we reached room 703. Midnight Sky opened the door with her own set of keys and motioned for us to enter. There were no lights inside, the room dimly illuminated by the glow of the moon through the large coastal facing window. The center of the room was nearly pitch black, however. As the two of us entered, the door was closed behind us.
Suddenly, a spark was lit from the dark spot in the center of the massive room and a lamp was ignited revealing a diminutive Fealor male wearing an excessively large green sash flanked by two armored Faelor guards. “Morning Breeze. I’ve been expecting you.

Sketchbook Chronicles: A Glimpse into the Architectural Journey
Greetings, fellow architecture enthusiasts!
Welcome to "Sketchbook Chronicles," where I invite you to take a peek into my creative process as an architecture student. Today, I'm excited to share some sketches and notes from my trusty sketchbook, offering a glimpse into the evolving journey of design inspiration and exploration.
Sketch 1: Urban Landscape Study

In this sketch, I've captured the dynamic interplay of light and shadow across a bustling urban landscape. Inspired by the geometry of skyscrapers and the rhythm of city life, I've experimented with different perspectives and compositions to convey the energy and vitality of the urban environment.
Reflection: As architects, we're not just designing buildings – we're shaping experiences and interactions within the built environment. This sketch reminds me of the importance of understanding how people engage with space and how architecture can enhance their daily lives.
Sketch 2: Nature-Inspired Form Study

Here, I've delved into the organic forms and textures found in nature, drawing inspiration from the intricate patterns of leaves and branches. By incorporating biomimicry principles into my designs, I aim to create structures that harmonize with their natural surroundings and foster a sense of connection to the environment.
Reflection: Nature is the ultimate source of inspiration for architects, offering endless possibilities for innovation and creativity. By observing and studying natural phenomena, we can unlock new design solutions that are not only sustainable but also inherently beautiful.
Sketch 3: Conceptual Exploration

In this conceptual sketch, I've explored the idea of fluidity and movement within architectural space. By experimenting with flowing lines and curvilinear forms, I seek to challenge traditional notions of static built environments and create spaces that evoke a sense of dynamism and flow.
Reflection: Architecture is a constant dialogue between form and function, context and concept. Through experimentation and iteration, we have the opportunity to push the boundaries of conventional design and transform abstract ideas into tangible spatial experiences.
As I continue to fill my sketchbook with ideas and inspirations, I'm reminded of the endless possibilities that lie ahead on this architectural journey. I hope this glimpse into my sketchbook has sparked your curiosity and imagination, inspiring you to embark on your own creative explorations.
I'd love to hear your thoughts and reflections on architecture, design, and creativity. Feel free to share your own sketches, ideas, or musings – let's embark on this journey together!

2024.05.03 00:12 gptgabe How to Beat Turn It In AI Detector

Read on our website here: https://www.stealthgpt.ai/blog/how-to-beat-turn-it-in-ai-detector
If you're in school or university, I beg that you may have heard and known about the existence of Turnitin's software. Generally, schools, colleges, and universities use it to look for evidence of plagiarism in students' writing, maintain academic integrity, and ensure that students are not copying the work of others. But recently, the software has been upgraded to include AI detectors, where these checks were used to determine the originality of content and identify any copied material in academic or professional writings or AI-generated.As technology advances and we can not deny the rise of AI writing tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, Google Gemini and Perplexity.ai,… definitely a game changer. Those tools empower students, writers, content creators, marketers, researchers, …to draft essays, reports, assignments, and outline ideas at lightning speed while still enhancing the quality and diversity of the content.However, in academic places and professional fields, the value of authenticity and originality is paramount, and maintaining the integrity, honesty and credibility of the published content are key factors. And this has caused concern among students, scholars, … about the challenges of bypassing the Turnitin AI detector as well as plagiarism checks. But luckily, from now on, you don’t have to worry about your articles, essays or other text forms being flagged as AI-generated anymore. In this article, we will show you exactly how to bypass Turnitin detection as well as list numerous methods that you can use to beat Turnitin AI detector while still maintaining academic integrity in your writing. So, let’s get started!

Understanding Turnitin AI Detection

Turnitin is a popular plagiarism detection software used by many educational institutions and students worldwide to check for plagiarism in their research papers, articles, essays, and assignments… The platform implemented its AI writing detection feature in April 2023 to catch students who attempt to cheat by using AI rewriting tools.Turnitin's AI detection feature works with AI detectors that look for Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithms. It tracks grammar, syntax, structure, the words you use, and even the nuanced subtleties of your arguments to detect paraphrased work and gives you the final result or similarity score. This score will tell you the level of similarity of your writing to someone else's existing work.Its AI detector is an advanced mechanism that is trained on a large database that can scan your submissions paper by comparing them to a continuously expanding database of scholarly papers, websites, publications, and existing sources. This means that even if a report has been rewritten by using an AI tool like Quillbot, Turnitin can still detect the similarities and flag it as potential plagiarism. Moreover, the indicator additionally connects to a report that emphasizes the text parts that were anticipated were composed by AI. However, just please remember that only the instructors and administrators are able to see the indicator of AI-generated.While Turnitin has confidence in its model, the website also confirmed that AI writing detection mode may not always be accurate (it may misidentify both human and AI-generated text), so it should not be used as the sole basis for adverse actions against a student or a definitive grading measure by instructors. Its capability is just to help educators identify whether the text might be prepared by a generative AI tool or not, as well as provide data for educators to make wise decisions based on their academic and institutional policies.As you can see, the AI writing indicator is on the right side of your panel. These sentences are highlighted in blue with a percentage between 0 and 100 on the submission text in the AI writing report. The displayed percentage indicates the amount of qualifying text within the submission that Turnitin’s AI writing detection model determines was generated by AI.Also, please note that Turnitin AI detection will only work for content submitted in English, and it will not work in any non-English submissions. As well as the percentage of Turnitin’s AI writing detection is different and independent from the similarity score, and the AI writing highlights aren't shown in the Similarity Report.

How Turnitin AI Detection Works

Before talking about all the possibilities of how to beat Turnitin AI Detector, we should understand how this tool works first. The scanning mechanism of Turnitin works similarly to other check tools on the market by using algorithms to identify patterns within the text that indicate potential plagiarism.When a user uploads a document, Turnitin will analyze all the elements in the article and look for any similarities with the documents available in the system. It will highlight duplicates and give an overall assessment of the originality of the article in percent. And one thing to take note and keep in mind too is that this program can also search for different types of matches defined by the settings that the professor uses.Turnitin also uses other techniques to identify AI content detection, such as text classification and machine learning. So when a paper is submitted to Turnitin, the submission is first broken into segments of text that are roughly a few hundred words (about five to ten sentences). Those segments are then overlapped with each other to capture each sentence in context.The segments are run against the AI detection model, and each sentence will have a score between 0 and 1 to determine whether it was written by a human or by AI. If the model determines that a sentence was not generated by AI, it will receive a score of 0. Conversely, If it determines the entirety of the sentence was generated by AI, it will receive a score of 1. By consuming the average scores of all the segments within the document, the model then generates an overall prediction of how much text in the submission has been generated by AI.Currently, Turnitin’s AI writing detection model is trained to detect content from the GPT-3 and GPT-3.5 language models, which includes ChatGPT. As for the writing characteristics of GPT-4 are consistent with earlier model versions, so the detector is also able to detect content from GPT-4 (ChatGPT Plus) as well.

How To Get Past Turnitin AI Detection

I know that there are a lot of users out here who want to find a way to bypass Turnitin AI Detection. Although these services were born to uphold academic honesty, they can sometimes flag innocent mistakes. And if you’re weary of Turnitin marking your essays and texts as AI-generated, there are a few straightforward methods you can employ to stop this issue from happening again, as well as to bypass Turnitin’s AI detector and avoid being flagged for plagiarism.

Use StealthGPT for AI Detection Removal

I have to admit that this is the best and the most time-saving method for you to humanize your AI-generated content and stay undetected by Turnitin and other AI detectors. Within a few clicks, you can have an article or essay that meets your desire and can bypass the Turnitin AI Detection.Now, let's move into how StealthGPT can help. To test this, I posed a prompt to ChatGPT: "An essay about the history of YouTube within 300 words."I copied the entire text and placed it in Stealth Bypass, and then I clicked on “Bypass AI-detection” and saw that the successful score on the right side got up to 90 percent.Then I click on the "Copy button" to duplicate the newly written content from StealthGPT, then paste it directly into the frame of the “Turnitin AI Detector” to see if the undetectable AI text can actually bypass AI detection. After the fast-checking speed of the “ Turnitin AI Detector” in seconds, the result showed that ZERO percent of AI had been detected. This means that Turnitin AI Detector couldn't detect and failed to know if the text was written by AI at all!And if you want to save your precious time and get that amazing results IMMEDIATELY, just try out the " Essential Package" to see if it's really worth your pennies. Because I do believe that nothing good in life is free! Moreover, you can also feel free to contact our support team regarding to any questions you might have or if there is anything that makes you unsatisfied.However, a key message I want to mention is that "it's also important to use the tool responsibly and wisely". The objective shouldn't be to mislead the software but also to ensure the content reflects your authentic human intelligence and creativity. So, just leverage it as an assisting tool to work more productively as well as enhance your ability to generate creative and original content.

Rewrite in Your Own Words

A small tip that has been used by many students recently is to express ideas according to their own understanding. This method not only helps you to refresh old ideas and develop your writing more quickly and more conveniently but is also an opportunity for you to increase your vocabulary and improve your language expression skills as well as logical thinking ability.Regarding how to do it, when you find a useful piece of content for your essay, you can re-express that piece of content according to the 3 easy step process below:

Understanding Assignment Requirements

Understanding the assignment brief is one of the most effective ways to make your text undetectable by Turnitin AI detector as well as ensure a successful submission. This gonna requires a thorough analysis and comprehension of what is being asked, including instructions, prompts, and guidelines. Before you begin, take your time to examine and read the given instructions carefully; after that, break down the task into smaller components to identify important parts such as topic areas, significant words or phrases used in prompts, and marking criteria. Analyzing any posed questions and understanding the importance of addressing the main goals of the assignment is key, as the lecturer often looks for specific things in your work.If any doubts arise, you can look for direct communication with your lecturer or supervisor to help minimize the errors as well as maximize your success rates. To excel and improve your academic writing, try to show enthusiasm about your assignment and that subject. Also, deep into the topic deeply, grasp every detail, and determine how to convey this understanding and interest in your writing. By expressing your own thoughts and ideas, I promise that you'll create content that not only passes AI detection but also stands out as unique.

Research and Paraphrasing

Conducting wide research and understanding the topic before putting down any ideas is the solid base for all original writing. It's not just about doing lots of research and sticking ideas together. It's about diving deep into different points of view, ideas, arguments, and theories from the research and your own understanding of the topic. This process will let you pull together these different viewpoints into a piece that's exciting and truly yours.
After the research part, you will need to rewrite, restructure, and paraphrase the content. This is the most important part, as it will be the main method of avoiding Turnitin’s AI detection as well as ensuring that the content remains original while avoiding any plagiarism issues.
To paraphrase effectively, you will need to comprehend the context of the content that you are going to ‘reword’ and present it by using your own writing style while still retaining its original meaning; you could also use synonym words to express the ideas and meaning of the sentence. However, you should also pay attention to whether the words with the same meaning as the original word can be used in that situation or not.
Paraphrasing isn't simply changing the words of someone else's ideas. It's not that straightforward. Instead, it's about truly understanding and internalizing the ideas and thoughts and then expressing them in your own unique style. But please ensure that all sources used in your writing must have credible references so readers can access them for further reading. Through these methods, your paper will have a higher ability to pass originality checks with little to no suspicion of AI detection, and it will also maintain insightful information about the overall content.

Manual Writing

The last method I want to mention is writing by hand; it’s also an option that not many people choose to do, and it is favorable nowadays. But the best way to bypass Turnitin AI detection or any AI detectors out there and not raise red flags or plagiarism is by using manual writing. It simply means no copy-pasting from external sources or relying on AI-written content and using simple language to express your ideas. It is a process that must ensure that your paper does not contain any phrases or sentences that match with any other published content available on the internet.Even though this method gonna take most of your time, handwriting will force you to think more about each sentence, word, and collocation to use. It’s easier for you to run on your flow and make sure each line is unique and different from anyone else. Your brain gonna work harder, but it's worth it. In a world where AI detection tools like Turnitin are upgraded and enhanced continuously, keeping it with old school with manual writing is the safest way to avoid any AI detection or plagiarism.Moreover, it also brings you a positive and proud feeling when you see your own product filled with your own handwriting, and your original content can bypass AI detection in a minute. However, please take note that to ensure that the manual writing process is successful, it is important to understand your assignment inside out, as this gonna guide you through the instructions and the approach to finish the article more easily and create amazing content that will be engaging and unique in every possible way.

Final Words

While tools like Turnitin AI Detector continue to upgrade by day to identify AI-generated content, the importance of academic integrity and producing unique, original content still remains paramount.As students, scholars, and professionals.., we should view AI tools as aids to our creativity and productivity, not replacements for our intellect and original thought. Whether you choose to leverage AI writing tools, paraphrase, manually write, or go with StealthGPT, remember that the main goal is to enrich your understanding and effectively communicate your ideas, and these methods should only be used for legitimate reasons to beat Turnitin’s AI detector and not to cheat or deceive. By following the strategies in this blog post, you can definitely maintain your academic integrity, creativity, and authenticity while still leveraging the advancement of AI tools.

2024.05.03 00:02 deadbynever To All of my INFJ Brothers

Hello everyone,
This post may turn out to be a little bit long, so if it does end up that way, my apologies in advance. I recently went through a breakup, and although we weren't together a very long time it gave me some great insight that I thought I would share in case any other INFJ men are feeling like I am. Of course everyone is different, but I firmly believe many of us hold very similar behavioral patterns and values. Please feel free to disregard any statements that don't apply to you or that you don't agree with.
For the longest time, really as long as I could remember, I always felt like I didn't fit in with other men and I viewed that as a negative thing. As I got older and saw an increase in content that praised "red pill" type ideals, I felt even more alienated. It seemed as if everyone around me was more masculine than I was. Emotions seemed to hit me ten times as hard as they hit other men around me. I was never one to engage in hookups, I felt very in tune with emotions, I was always very soft spoken, and for all of those things I almost felt "broken."
At some point in life, I realized that I looked at the men around me and felt less than all of them. I'm a tall guy, but in a strange way I felt shorter than everyone, like I was subconsciously putting them above me. I believe that stemmed from the fact that I never saw myself as a real man. This was only confirmed by the mountains of content online encouraging men to fit into a stereotype.
A general INFJ gift (and curse) is that we seem to be in tune very early in life with what is important and fulfilling. For many, it can take a very long time to come to those realizations. I see the term "old soul" on this sub all the time, and I don't think that's an accident, and I also don't think it's an accident that so many of us go through a very early existential crisis. We crave love, we understand what's important. Common "quick dopamine hits" like hookups seem fleeting and unimportant.
I suppose I'm sharing this to tell all of the other INFJ men out there one thing: You are not less of a man for being the way that you are. I'm only starting to realize this, and I wish that I would have truly internalized it earlier in my life.
We're not like other men, and that's okay. This does not make us lesser. You are just as deserving of love and affection as the men around you. Of course we should always strive to be better, we should take care of our bodies and be healthy, we should learn how to navigate our intense emotions in a healthy way, and we should learn how to be assertive. However, our ability to be sensitive to emotions is not a bad thing, and it doesn't make you less of a man.
I hope that I said anything that someone needed to hear. Hold your heads up!

Genetic Reports + Lab Results (help, where to go from here?)
Hello everyone!

General Info

I'm a 24M, Italian, having sudden IBS and mild IBS-related and social anxiety since 3-4 years. Also feel fatigued and lacking energies, like ''I could do better''. Never had any of these issues before this period of time. Major changes at the start of this period – 3-4 years ago – were: · quitting smoking cannabis (not gradually) · being on an hypo-caloric diet for some months and losing some weight · mild stress related to post pandemic/university/breakup (not ongoing). · have't had sex for 2+ years (used to a regular sexual life; solved lol, but thought it could add something)
Always done super good in social and relationships, never missed social gatherings, staying away from home even for several days – partying, staying at friends etc – this all seems an old version of me. At the moment I'm on a dairy-free and gluten-free diet, I will give further info about it later.
My relationships are good, I'm not totally ''anxiety-impaired'' (can travel, go out and have a drink etc), but I tend to avoid certain situations and I'm quite ruminating and over-analyzing future events. I have a girlfriend and have regular sex, I seem to work good under stress – even if it depletes my energies – and alternate between periods of good sleep pattern and light intermittent sleep (e.g. waking up after 3-4 hours of sleep). I don't usually exercise, aside from some cardio 1-2 times a week (running or soccer match), as intense exercise can make me feel really good or depressed-like. I'm actually trying to do full body dumbbells routines and it feels good.

Diet

I eat lots of bananas, tangerines, walnuts, sheep and goat greek yogurt, honey, chicken, beef and pig meat, eggs, fish, rice, potatoes, bio-chocolate spreads, olive oil and gluten-free cereals/bread, pasta or baked products, with ''dairy free'' natural cheeses (like 36 month Parmigiano Reggiano) or dairy free cheese spreads. As greens, I mainly eat ''light'' salads as lamb's lettuce, rocket, etc. I can't digest vegetables well due to my GI symptoms, so less often i eat broccoli, cauliflower, string beans, pumpkin, chickpeas. I drink vegetal milks and matcha from time to time. Protein makes me really bloated.
Masterjohn's Genetic Choline Calculator: 8 eggs yolks.

Supplements Stack

I'm currently taking: · DS-01 Daily Synbiotic by Seed (probiotic) or other Life Extensions probiotics + enzymes. · L-Glutamine powder (10 g daily on an empty stomach) · Magnesium (only one form at a time): · Magnesium L-Threonate (144 mg elemental mag from 2000 mg of magtein) · Magnesium Acetyl-Taurinate (45 mg elemental mag from 750 mg of atamg) · Magnesium Bisglycinate Fully Chelated (315 mg elemental mag) · Omega-3 + EPA + DHA (700 mg of EPA, 500 mg of DHA, 2000 mg of pure+ wild fish oil) · Bioactive B-Complex only 3-4 times a week
The B-Complex includes: · 100 mg of B1 as thiamine HCl · 75 mg of B2 as riboflavin and R5P · 100 mg of B3 as niacinamide and niacin · 100 mg of B6 as pyridoxine HCl and P5P · 400 mcg of B9 as L-methyltetrahydrofolate calcium salt · 300 mcg of B12 as methylcobalamin · 1000 mcg of B8 · 500 mg of B5 as D-calcium-pantothenate · 100 mg of inositol · 50 mg of PABA
Never seem to have had any issues with taking this 3-4 times a week – no increased anxiety or anything. As a matter of fact, I've started supplementing 2 months ago and I'm not noticing shifts in anxiety leves, the only thing which seems to improve my anxiety and gut symptoms is definitely L-Glutamine. It makes night and day difference for me. Supports regular bowel movements and makes me feel calm and more ''ready to go'' (e.g. I don't ruminate much before leaving the house). I'm also adding 5 g of creatine for workouts and general energy.

2024.05.02 23:31 Shaskais Small post: Interesting bits from the 10th ED Ork Codex

There isn't much new lore in new Ork codexes, sadly.

Interesting bits:

-The intro story is about Ghaz leading his Waaagh! to battle on a humie world he did not care to know its name. All he cared for was it was a proper testing ground for his Mek's new weapons and most importantly his Boyz on their road to be the toughest in the galaxy. Indeed, the humies had given him and his boyz a good fight. The Ork hordes had painted the whole world green save for a single hold out of civilization. A colossal force of Imperials was making their last stand at a mountainous hive city. Ghaz led the charge at the humie gits. The sight of Makari running behind him enthusiastically waving Ghaz's banner almost drew a chuckle from the Warlord. Even though he was surrounded by the sights of the carnage and scenes of Orks triumphant, Ghaz stood out as the pinnacle of everything the Orks strove to be. He ripped and tore his way through frail humies and 'ard marines, and burst open tanks with blasts of his dakka. The Ork charge was met with a countercharge of marine swordsmen. The Marines cut down Ghaz Meganobz filling him with rage and excitement in equal measure. It was then that things got a bit weird. An unfortunate Weirdboy was overcome with the accumulating Waaagh! energy. He floated into the air before unleashing a wave of green energy. The energy washed over a number of the Space Marines exploding their heads. Some of the Orks had their heads exploded too, including the Weirdboy himself. Ghaz's senses suddenly felt funny and bizarre. Green stars shone through the skies despite the fact they were churning with storm clouds. A lesser Ork would have been amazed by the sight. Ghaz was not. He knew the stars were trembling with fear from him. Bulky green phantasm started rushing Ghaz, tearing at him and punching him. Ghaz fought back smashing one into sparks but more came and each was larger than the last. Ghaz felt himself growing larger. He was smashing his way through the hive city, stomping buildings and bunkers beneath his boots. He lifted his boot up and smashed it down splitting the entire continent. He grew larger and saw the worlds and moons orbiting ahead and reached out and pulped a world within his claw. He heard and felt its death within his mighty claw. Ghaz went on rampaging, smashing, and shooting, a green galaxy beneath his feet. He was surrounded by stars, each boomed and cracked. The noise and flash of these stars seemed random at first but he saw a pattern in them. They were a trail of destruction leading him across the galaxy. In the far distance, Gork or Mork's Grin (the Great Rift) widened, Gork and Mork were smirking down on Ghaz conquests even as they clobbered each other. Their knowing smile told him that he is the strongest Ork and the envoy of everything mean and green. Then with a blink, the vision faded. Ghaz was surrounded by the broken bodies of humies and Orks. While in the grip of the vision he had smashed a breach into the hive city's wall. The Ork hordes rushed into the breach laughing with joy and chanting Ghaz's name. Ghaz roared and his roar was taken up by the throats of the countless Orks, the noise that heralded the muscle, violence, and unrestraint joy of the Greentide as it fell on the enemy. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

----------------------
-Update for the events of "Arks of Omen: Farsight":
Following the aftermath of the three-way battle on Arthas Moloch, three Ork bosses rose to claim Nazdreg's crown. Bolgrog Bigtusk, Skragga Fundastomp, and Da Smoggboss. Considering the T'au to be less entraining than the Chaosboyz, the three bosses led the Orks in a chase of the Chaosboyz' Ark of Omen, the Unhallowed. The Orks caught up to the Space Hulk and flooded inside. The Orks smashed the Chaosboyz and slew their leader the Black Legion Daemon Prince Ughalax the Soul Eater but none of the three bosses could agree who landed the killing blow on the daemon prince. The Orks claimed the Ark of Omen as their own and renamed it DA SUPARIG. Since then the three Ork warbands led invasions from aboard the Space Hulk. The Hulk was still infested with all manner of vicious monsters and fighting was frequent between the three warbands. Whenever the chance to slaughter fresh worlds presented itself, the three warbands would temporarily pause their infighting.
---------------------
-It was suggested by those who study Orks that their technology only works because the Orks believe it should. The ridiculousness of this claim is lessened by the observable fact that no other race managed to get Ork technology to work as intended.

-Contrary to what the Orks fighting on Armageddon believe, Snikrot doesn't only haunt the jungles of that world. He has led missions far away from it. His latest mission came about after surviving a Deathwatch assassination attempt. Snikrot tore apart the marines and looted their landing craft. Snikrot and his commandos then boarded the Deathwatch stealth vessel and slaughtered the Imperials inside and claimed it as his own. Since then Snikrot raided several secret Imperial bases and alien archives, looting all manner of strange gear.

-The Orks' tendency for obsession is both a strength and a weakness. Ghaz's obsession with defeating his respected foe, Yarrick, during the First War for Armageddon, saw him throw increasingly large amounts of materials and Ork manpower into the meatgrinder that was the siege of Hive Hades. This left the sieges of the other hives lacking leadership and reinforcements. When the Space Marine reinforcements arrived, the Ork forces sieging the other hives broke. Unlike most Orks warlords, Ghaz realized the mistake of his obsession and attempted to correct his strategy. However, it was too late. The masterful strategic command of Chapter Master Dante combined with Yarrick's tenacious defence broke Ghaz's Waaagh! and sealed his defeat. Almost every Ork warlord in history went down fighting with their Waaagh! Not so with Ghaz. Ghaz fled Armageddon. The planet provided Ghaz with the best fight of life. He would not pass up the chance to experience it again.


-After leaving the Third War for Armageddon, Ghaz set himself on a campaign not against a single world not even a sector, but against the entire galaxy. In order to fight and stomp every sentient being in the galaxy, Ghaz knew he needed to unite the whole Ork race. He would do this or die in the attempt. He would lead the Great WAAAAAGH!

-Strange things started to happen after Ghaz began his quest. more Ork Waagh!s were rising than ever before, and a great number of them were homing on Ghaz's location with inexplicable accuracy. Their bosses either sought to fall under the banner of the greatest of warbosses or challenge him, all the same, they added to his numbers.

-Space Wolves and Craftworld Alaitoc made attempts at assassinating Ghaz. The Space Wolves came the closest to slaying Ghaz when Ragnar Blackmane beheaded him on Krongar. Grotsnik revived Ghaz by stitching his head on a Supa-Ork body that he spent decades tinkering with and perfecting.

-If Ghaz has ever been said to have a soft then it's for his banner-waving grot Makari. Ghaz takes pride in the longevity of his grot sidekick as well as his miraculous luck that saw him survive in ways that defy explanation. No Ork has the heart or bravery to tell Ghaz that Makari died, more than once. Each time the Orks forcefully dressed a grot in his garb and shoved a banner in his arms.

-Among the many deaths of Makari was dying of ripe old age.

-The Blood Axes clan has no standard color. They instead color themselves in as many camouflage schemes as possible. They grasp the basic concept that these schemes are meant to conceal them but they believe the schemes have talismanic properties. So the Blood Axes go to war with colorful camo schemes that bear little resemblance to the surrounding landscape. They even paint their war engines with camo schemes in a copious garish manner. They believe that the more thickly painted their engines, the more hidden they are. It's hard to ascertain the effectiveness of their methods but the sight of a gigantic blue and red tiger stripped stompa slowly lumbering forward is not something their enemies would forget anytime soon.

First four shaft project
I finished my first four shaft project on my baby wolf! It is a black and white multi-twill table runner I made using a Gist four shaft twill scarf pattern (swapped the yarn and added some more length). Turns out it is super hard to take a pic of something that is six feet long but here it is, I am pretty proud of how it turned out!

2024.05.02 23:26 servingsize10 Stokke new born bundle promo is misleading and customer service yelled at me

Hi! Want to rant about poor pooorr POOR customer service I received from Stokke (USA)
I was looking for highchair for a while. My top picks were Lalo and Stokke. There are pros and cons to it but I decided to go with Stokke because I saw that Stokke was having bundle promo.
They are giving out free carrier with the purchase of the NB bundle. On their website, they only had picture of “floral gold” with comment “gift with purchase”. No where on the website it said it is randomly selected. I looked everywhere and not a single line of “randomly selected”. So I decided to buy it so I can get the floral gold pattern carrier, which I thought it was cute
Received it and found out I got “olive green” weird, that color doesn’t even exist online. It is not sold on their website. So I called customer service to see if I can an exchange or to understand how a color that doesn’t exist on their website got sent. Only to be told I should be happy that it is a free gift
I understand that it is free gift but it was the gift promo that persuaded me to purchase Stokke. I have been repeatedly told “It’s a free gift” “It’s complimentary, meaning it is free. You don’t have to pay for it” I know what free means..
CS was hesitant to connect me to her supervisor. Told me she is unavailable and can’t tell when she will be available because she is in a meeting. And that I can send them an email. I get it, CS job sucks but you can’t just hang up on me without a paper trail.. so I asked her to document our conversation and make a case for it. She said she did, didn’t give me the case number. Had to ask her for it and again, asked if her supervisor is available. She said she doesn’t know
Called CS again, same girl answered so I asked her to repeat what is on the case number and magically her manager is available. Manager said they got few calls like this for exchange or change of color and that all the other customers understood and why I can’t. I told her if I’m not the only one calling about this, this has to be miscommunication and bad marketing strategy.
I told her I want to return the whole bundle and order it again. I want to risk getting same carrier but there is a chance I can get a different one. She said no, we don’t know the inventory so I can’t do that. So I asked her to look up the inventory and she said what I want is sold out. Asked her then what is available, she said she can’t tell. So I asked if you can’t tell me what is available, how do you know what I want is unavailable. She fumbled
What I don’t understand is, 1. They couldn’t prove to me that carrier was sent randomly 2. Couldn’t explain how a color that doesn’t exist in their website got sent 3. Said carrier I want in out of stock but couldn’t tell me what is available then 4. Repeatedly said it’s free, complimentary gift that comes with your purchase (i know!!). CS kept saying I should be happy with gift free.

2024.05.02 23:14 __Oracle___ Has this really happened?

The following is a copy of a complete conversation with the co-pilot. I'm sorry for the grammatical errors, but it's the level I handle and I more or less make myself understood. The entries in quotes are a translation from Spanish:
I have the following css style code for a gallery of images showed via ajax, can you explain me it? .grid { ... (css code)
Copilot
Usando
la web
Sure, I’d be happy to explain the CSS code you’ve provided. It’s used to style a gallery of images that are displayed via AJAX. Here’s a breakdown:

.grid: This class is applied to the container of the images. It has a maximum width of 1200px and is centered on the page.
body: The body of the HTML document is styled with a black background color.
.grid-item: This class is applied to each individual image in the grid. Each image has a width of 200px, a bottom margin of 10px, and is positioned relative to its normal position.
.grid-item img: This targets the image elements inside the .grid-item elements. The images are set to take up 100% of the width of the .grid-item and their height is set to auto to maintain the aspect ratio of the image.
.overlay: This class is used for an overlay that appears when an image is clicked. Initially, it’s not displayed (display: none). When displayed, it covers the entire screen (position: fixed and width: 100%, height: 100%). It has a semi-transparent black background (background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.95)).
.overlay-content: This class is used to center the content within the overlay. It’s positioned absolutely in the middle of the overlay (top: 50%, left: 50%, transform: translate(-50%, -50%)).
.overlay-content .image-container: This class is used to position the image and its caption within the overlay content. It’s displayed as an inline-block and positioned relative to its normal position.
.overlay-content .image-container img: This targets the image within the overlay. The image is set to take up the maximum width of its container and its height is set to the maximum height of the viewport (max-height: 100vh). The object-fit: contain property ensures that the image scales while maintaining its aspect ratio.
.overlay-content .image-container .caption: This class is used to style the caption of the image. It’s positioned at the bottom of the .image-container, has a semi-transparent black background, and white text color. The caption spans the full width of its container and the text is centered.
The JavaScript at the end of the document is used to layout the images in a masonry grid pattern and ensure that the images are fully loaded before they’re displayed. The hideOverlay() function, which is not shown in the code you provided, is presumably used to hide the overlay when it’s clicked.

ok, I want to make some modifications to the divs structure of the page. I want a div class in the top of the page. This div dont move with scrolls. Its purpose is to serve as toolbar. Its name will be toolbar-container. This container never displaces with the scroll and its fixed in its position at the most top of the image. Has the same length of the viewport of the browser, and a width of 50 pixels. Another class I want to add is to include buttons inside the class toolbar-container. This class will be named toolbar-button. This class will contain images. The origin size of this images will be at different sizes and ratios, but the css must redimensionate and show this images in a size of 100 x 100 evey one inside the toolbar-container. Every button will be spaciated to the next by 20 pixels. This buttons will be actions associated in the future that will be controlled via javascript. None of this new elements must be controled by the masonry application. can you show me the code I paste you with this modifications?

Sure, I can help with that. Here’s your modified code with the new toolbar-container and toolbar-button classes:

HTML


...
(html and css code)
Código generado por IA. Revisar y usar cuidadosamente. Más información sobre preguntas frecuentes.
This code adds a fixed toolbar at the top of the page with a height of 50px. Inside the toolbar, there are buttons represented by images. Each image is 100px by 100px and there’s a 20px space between each button. The toolbar and its buttons are not affected by the Masonry layout. You can add more buttons by copying and pasting the toolbar-button div and changing the image source as needed. The JavaScript for the buttons’ actions will need to be added separately. Please replace "button1.png" and "button2.png" with the actual paths to your images. Let me know if you need further assistance!

2024.05.02 23:09 unfit-Lemonade Sekan beast. The beast of the gods

"You're not seriously going to chain yourself up like this?" I had to ask I couldn't handle watching this.
It was dirty and awful smelling like the funk was personally wringing my lungs dry. "I have to," he said with such a resolution, that I was thinking of just letting him have his way.
"There has to be another way though. You're the CROWNED prince, next in line for the throne of Jakqulies, I'd be a bad subject if I'd let you stay."
"And I would be a bad king if I listened to you." "I'm a good influence though, so you should listen to me."
He rolled his eyes and anchored down the chains to the wall. he ignored me, even though he was the one who brought me here in the first place.
pinched my eyebrows in frustration. "I just think, there are more ways, better ways, to handle this." "I've tried everything." I sat on the wooden bed and shrugged my shoulders trying to think of everything.
"Well when you say everything, that could mean a lot of things, did you try things related to the 'cures' and things outside of it?" He sighed, he walked over to me and looked me in the eyes.
"I have tried everything. I've tried locking myself in the dungeon and leaving the kingdom, I've tried a multitude of potions even mixing some, tried charms, hexes, and spells."
I slumped down on the wood, it was prickly and cold. Then again this entire dungeon is freezing. "Why didn't anything work?" "I don't know nor do we have the time to try and figure that out now." "It could be important. Help me do the job you asked me to do."
He didn't respond, too busy screwing chains shut on his wrist. I rolled onto the bed, it was starting to become more comfortable.
"I don't need anything specific just how it ended up failing." "Simple I couldn't stay awake." " You need to be more specific"
"Well I don't know what you want me to say. I took the potions I did the hexes and every single one didn't work." "Then what about when you left how did that fail." He was stressed and so was I.
I couldn't do anything to help cause we knew nothing about what was causing the change. He was stressed cause how is a crowned prince going to become king when he transform into a murderous monster every 24th night.
"The thing used magic and brought me back before changing." I shot up and twirled over the bed to face him. "It used magic!?" he froze a bit, confused by the reaction. "Yes, you already know it can use magic. "NOT powerful magic!"
I crawled off the bed and raced into my bag. "What does it matter?" He was perplexed by how panicked I was dumping things out. I need the drawings.
"It completely changes things!" I saw the paper fall onto the floor. I snatched it up and raced to the light outside the dungeon.
I didn't believe it when I saw the drawing, I thought I was being overdramatic. There was no way I was right at first, I couldn't be, because then that would mean- I stared at the drawing it looked exactly how they described it to be. I looked back at Kaeden.
It's crazy how learning new stuff about the people you know can completely change the way they look to you. He noticed my shift in personality immediately. "What? Edan what is it?"
"How far?" "What?" I walked to my bag and quickly started shoving things in it, keeping the drawing close to my chest.
"How far away did you go?!" "I went to Thanxthiles." I dropped my bag. "Oh, my Johi! To the Thanxthiles, like into the kingdom!" "yes."
I couldn't tell if I was excited or shocked, it didn't matter. This is the greatest day of my life. I couldn't speak either, I just started freaking out.
I grabbed onto his arms and jumped up and down roots started to sprout from beneath me every time I touched the ground. "Really? You went that far! And it used magic to bring itself back here!" He didn't respond only looking around as nature started to break into the concrete of the dungeon.
I broke away from him and started jumping all around and looking at the drawing with a newfound aspiration. "Edna wait? I'm confused." " A SEKAN BEAST! YOU'RE A SEKAN BEAST VESSEL!"
I ran toward him and shoved the paper into his hand. "Look! Look! That's what you said the beast looks like right? And it displays the use of magic!"
I was inches away from his face brimming with joy. He scooted away slightly. As he answered with sheer confusion. "Yes."
My eyes ignited in exhilaration. I was dancing all around the room. Bouncing off the walls excited. "Eden. My room! your plan-" "This is such great news, you can become so much stronger than you are now! You can become like the mighty kings of old!"
I said as I jumped on his bed and crawled towards him. I was smiling so much and felt a sudden need to laugh. "EDEN!" He grabbed me off the bed, he was strong. "WOW you're already so strong imagine when you fully grow into your powers!" "Eden my fucking room!"
I surveyed the room and noticed how it started to turn into a miniature forest, roots overturning his floors and trees ripening with fruit brushing through the wall and flowers with little flying bugs in almost every corner of where I stepped.
Still, I was breathlessly ecstatic. "A SEKAN beast." I chuckled before having to catch my breath. He sat me down.
"What is a Sekan beast and why are you so happy that it torments my kingdom?" He wasn't happy like I was, no he wasn't happy at all with my reaction.
To be fair to him becoming a vessel to a Sekan best is rare the effects on their life is grave. I raised my hand and shrunk the forest back into the ground. "I'm sorry for getting too excited but this is great news."
He winced at the words and pulled away. "How is any of this great news? I lost my best friend to this thing. And you're over here celebrating and praising my suffering."
"No no. I'm not saying what you're going through is great I'm saying what is causing this is great being and can be talked to." He shook his head and rested his arms on his legs in despair.
"A great being." He mumbled. I wrapped my arms around him and rested my head on his back, covering him with my cloak. "The thing taking over your body is called a sekan beast."
"I figured that much." "It's the beast of the gods and... is a sign that the person that they take over is in favor of the gods and they're sent to get rid of people who would interfere with their vessel's journey." He raised his head in distress. "Save me from- huh It's the very danger of my-" "I know. I know."
I grabbed his hand tightly. "The gods send the beast to take away obstacles that may cause you intense agony or intend to end your history short." he grasped onto the side of my skirt.
He was at a loss for words. I sat in silence with him. He probably didn't want to hear more about the beast.
After a while I feared for him to sleep so I shook him lightly and tried to comfort him. "I'm sorry, you lost people close or even if they were just people you never met, but they're gone for a reason."
He didn't respond, just shuddered a breath. "At least this way. You can remember them as they are not what they would've been."
He stood up and faced the wall. " I don't. I just, he was my best friend, I wanted nothing more than to rid myself of this thing since his death but now you're telling me, his death was necessary and that he would betray me or even kill me. I just. I can't."
"I never met him or know anything about your guy's relationship, but he must've changed in the future to do so."
"No people don't just change, there must have been something!" "That no one could've saved him from."
He just looked at me a shook his head. "Mmm mm! I could've!" I walked up to him and tried to reason with him.
"If the Sekan took his life that likely means it was his fate to hurt you whether he wanted to or not." "Then why kill him? If it was his fate to hurt me, why cut his life? Why kill him, by my hands? Why even have him born in the first place? " He was hurt.
"The sekan took him to spare you. Whatever it was he would've done would've been too much for you to bear, be it physically or mentally. His action would've caused your demise."
He just turned away from me. He didn't try to argue against my reason anymore and just listened to me. I gave him everything I knew about the beast.
Former vessels, their powers, the transformation, their history, and stories about how they came to be.
He suddenly sprang from the bed. "What time is it?" "Umm... it's" I looked up to my arm and used my painted fingers to move my moon tattoo it shifted to look like the moon outside.
"It's almost midnight." he just stared at my arm mouth gaped open. "What?" "What do you mean what? What was that that?"
"Magic?" "I'm not talking about the magic I'm talking about the painting on your arm. Did you paint that on yourself?" I looked at him in disbelief, laughing at his face of amusement and bewilderment, I showed him more of them.
"They're called tattoos, they're not exactly paintings. They're permanent, you ink them onto your skin using needles. Anyone can get them, many if not all witches have them. Makes casting spells easier."
"Woah. I've never seen them in real life, it seems much cooler than magic." I rolled my eyes and chuckled. "Why did you ask for the time anyway?"
His joy dispersed into a somber calm. "It's almost time." "I thought you said you didn't know when the transformation happens, it just happens" "That's true but it's typically around midnight that it happens."
I stayed silent for a moment. "It's an ugly and honestly embarrassing process that I don't want you to see." "But I need to converse with it." "Well, you'll know when the transformation is done cause you won't hear my screams anymore."
The words danced off his tongue like it was a joke. But his laughing quickly turned to a nervous cough when he saw my worrisome expression.
"I suggest it'd be best you left for a couple of minutes-" "Does it hurt you to transform?" He seemed uncomfortable at the idea of it, he swung his arms nervously before picking at the chains.
"Yes. Yes, it does." He said looking away from me as if in shame. I don't understand. The transformation should've been physically painless.
"What? Can, you describe it?" "I don't know how to. Umm, I guess it would feel like my entire body was being stretched and ripped apart."
This doesn't make any sense, is he a Sekan's vessel? I paced around a bit trying to understand.
There is no other creature able to take over a body and everything points to a sekan but the physical pain of the transformation should never happen.
"I don't want you here when it does happen. It's difficult to watch so please just go upstairs and wait." Something's wrong. I just nodded my head and walked out.
He was shutting the door, I looked back he seemed so sad. I pushed the door back open and hugged him.
He was shocked and so was I, but he was going to be in pain. "It's... it's going to be alright I promise." He hugged me and we stayed there for a moment.
Not a sound just our hearts beating. He pulled away and shut the door behind me. I walked up the stairs, slowly.
I know I said I would wait to give him his time to suffer without witness. But just because he wants it doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.
I stayed on the fourth step for what seemed to be a long time. I don't know what I was waiting for. Maybe to hear his cries? Maybe to hear him and rush back in? But I didn't hear anything.
"This looks so creepy." I insulted myself and began to walk up. I had a sickly feeling that grew with each step was it okay to leave him there alone?
I know it's what he asked and he decided it was the best and he is the future king. So I should listen to him. I made it to the courtyard, the feeling was now a wave constantly beating over me.
Fuck it.
I may reside in his kingdom but I'm a witch we know no kings. I pulled back the door and made my way back down the stairs. Which for some reason seemed to be much longer than when I came up.
The feeling was growing increasingly vexing with each step, I soon started running down the stairs. I raced to the bottom, I could hear sobs getting closer with each step
I jumped over the last two and bolted down the hall. "Kaeden!" I bearly stopped myself from sliding past his door. I grabbed the handle and flung it open. "Kaeden!" He was crouched over on the floor, grabbing at his arms. He raised his head to look at me.
"Eden?" I flinched back his left eye had bloody feathers coming out of every pore and his pupils were stretched and his eye was starting to grow over his face.
"What are you doing here?! I told you to leave!" His voice was layered with another more animalistic curl, but it just made his pain much more noticeable.
I rushed over to him. He tried to get up and walk away but quickly fell to the floor. "Please! I don't want you to see me like this!" His voice was filled with pain, I couldn't stand it. "I'm sorry but it's wrong to just leave you here to suffer alone.
Be mad at me all you want later but I won't leave you." I put my hand in his and let him squeeze it as hard as he needed. He was sweating like crazy.
Blood dripped onto my hand every second. He trembled with each new feather. I didn't know what I could do. I don't think I can do anything.
I started to panic when he started to scream out, he tried to stifle it every time but it didn't change the fact that his hands started to grow new bones.
I felt his skin break and his bones shift. I couldn't stand the feeling but it was more horrific to watch as it happened to his back.
Blood started to seep into his clothes, his skin started to shrink and harden into scales, I could feel feathers grow on his hands and see it started to replace his hair.
I could bearly catch my breath at the sight of his bone tearing through his skin. Breaking and mending themselves into a strange shape.
He had already bled some much it died my purple skirt to a violent red. "Please... leave..." his voice was just a broken sob; a tired whisper.
He was completely terrified. I felt tears on my face. I leaned over him and hugged him almost as if I was shielding him. Hard to shield him from his own body.
I broke down alongside him. "It's going to be over soon, real soon. I promise. It's going to be okay I'm right here. I'm not leaving." I could feel him shivering under me.
I could feel him gasping for air. I hear his bones moving in his body. I could hear his voice change with every sob. It was almost over. "It's almost over Kaeden" I was relieved we couldn't see each other's faces.
He wouldn't believe me if he could see how terrified I looked and I couldn't see what he was turning into. My tears pooled and soaked into the feathers on his back.
I felt drained but I could only imagine the pain Kaeden was going through. It was painful to just watch. I just stayed there telling him it was going to be okay as his screams override my voice.
I tightened my hold on him as I watched his blood flow from him to the crack under the door. I tried to listen to his heartbeat but I couldn't find it. After what seems like a lifetime.
His bones stopped moving, I couldn't feel any more blood flowing like a stream, and I didn't feel his skin transmute into scales and feathers pop through his skin.
I raised my head, blood had soaked through my hair dampening and staining my cheek. I looked at him.
He didn't even look human anymore. His body was covered in feathers, he had talons for nails, and his legs had grown extra joints not to mention he had grown twice- no three times his size.
He was bizarrely clean despite the pool of blood surrounding us. It would've been a straight blessing from Johi to be holding or even be this close to a Sekan beast; had its arrival been under normal circumstances.
I wiped away the blood from my face and took my arm away. I was suddenly jerked forward, it wrapped its hand on my arm. I tried to pull away but it dug its talons in my skin. I didn't hesitate to tie the thing down with vines.
the vines shot back out through the concrete and quickly made their way around the beast's neck and arms. The beast didn't take this lightly and started to stand. It pulled me close and tried to pick me up by my arm.
The plants grabbed at its legs and tried to knock it down but it stood its ground. The branch around his neck tightened forcing its head to rear up. it wasn't as monstrous as I had thought, it still had a semblance of a human face but it was not Kaeden's.
The eyes had a pattern similar to stained glass and the pupils were too large, I could see the reflection of my fear in its eyes. The neck was long it the vine had wrapped around it four times.
it clenched its jaw and bared its sharp jigsaw teeth as it struggled to breathe. I had a chance to tie it down and I didn't hesitate.
I reached out and commanded the plants to pull his knees down. It hit the ground after struggling for stability. I pulled away, its talons digging into my skin. I yanked myself free, its claws sliced open my hand and almost took my fingers off.
I grabbed at my arm the blood flowing through my fingers. the Sekan was grabbing at the branches at its neck breaking them. I didn't give it the chance to free itself before I flung it through the bed and into the wall.
The beast was shocked and angry. It expanded its size with its wings unfurling from its side, but the vines already bursting through the wall wrapped them up and bent them to be useless.
it was fighting for its freedom like a feral animal, and not a majestic beast of the gods like it was said to be. with each struggle, the vines multiplied and grew thicker.
I watched as it almost got completely consumed by the trees. I mended my flesh concentrated flame and glued my skin back together.
I looked back up and the thing was motionless. almost like it was dead. I motioned for the plants to release it. It collapsed to the ground choking for air. I went behind the door and locked it and called out to it through the bars.
"What are you?" The only response was coughs and the ruffle of feathers. "Answer me." It rose and stood still for a moment before cracking its neck downward to look me in the eyes. It was nauseating I grabbed at my neck, sure that if I tried that I'd die.
"You know what I am Witch of Rthytic." Its voice had a curl to it, a nasty freighting curl. I could hear Kaedens's voice mixed with it. "I know what u pretend to be. Sekans are beasts of the gods, you're just a beast." It chuckled before bending its neck back.
It kneeled at the door; it was still slightly larger than the door. its eyes still glimmered but its pupils were small and focused. "The gods are dead witch." I drew back from the door, it grinned slightly "At least they will be."
"What are you talking about!?" "Haven't you noticed how unfair things have been lately, never felt overwhelmed by the voiceless replies. I know you noticed how empty and gut-wrenching the tempels feel and you never wondered why?" I didn't know how to respond. I just stare at the beast.
"No. no what are you really, no Sekan would act such a way about the gods. nor would you cause your vessel so much pain." The beast stopped smiling and backed away from the door retreating into the shadows.
The lock suddenly clicked and the door opened. It spoke very coldly as it crouched through the door "The gods have abandoned their morals. They usurped Beseled, now the world will fall into chaos. There's a god slayer in this remele. this slayer is Kaeden Esmened the fourth, crowned prince of Jakqulies."
I froze as a ball built up in my throat. I tried to walk away but it grabbed my arm and forced me to listen.
"The gods know of Kaeden and want him dead. I forced my way into Kaedens soul to rid of future opposers. His physical pain is minor compared to what thousands would go through if I didn't get to him. Kaeden was never meant to be the great ruler he was meant to kill the gods" I pulled away. "let go." "You were also meant great things." "what."
"The Witch of Rthytic your name will be known far more than keadens. you will be the reason he is even remembered."
"What do you mean." it let me go and began to walk away. "I don't need to tell you, just watch the gods you commune with." I was confused, everything it told me was too much, how was I supposed to tell this to Kaeden?
I wouldn't be able to do it. I looked up and the thing was gone. I raced up the stairs to see it spread its wings on the roof of the courtyard. The wings were twice the size of its own body, so big it blocked out the moon.
Of every slayer that's ever lived, only one made it back alive, but even then their body had failed them, I can't let Kaeden leave like this. "Wait!" I looked over its shoulder.
If the gods are killed then there be a strange new age of human power, that will only lead to destruction. There has to be someone stronger to care for the weak.
"It- is there a way to make Kaeden," it looked at me and grinned, " a god." Its eyes widen and its lips curl. I would make Kaeden a god and inadvertently the beast too. It put its hand out. Kaeden fate was always twisted against him, his death was meant to be cruel and lonely. He would be fine with sacrificing himself for the greater good.
But he made a deal with a witch, he thrust his soul and the beast into my hands. Both will become gods for one to live. I dug my nails into its skin as we made our pledge to birth a new era.
Of chaos and love.

2024.05.02 23:05 unfit-Lemonade Sekan beast. The beast of the gods

"You're not seriously going to chain yourself up like this?" I had to ask I couldn't handle watching this.
It was dirty and awful smelling like the funk was personally wringing my lungs dry. "I have to," he said with such a resolution, that I was thinking of just letting him have his way.
"There has to be another way though. You're the CROWNED prince, next in line for the throne of Jakqulies, I'd be a bad subject if I'd let you stay."
"And I would be a bad king if I listened to you." "I'm a good influence though, so you should listen to me."
He rolled his eyes and anchored down the chains to the wall. he ignored me, even though he was the one who brought me here in the first place.
pinched my eyebrows in frustration. "I just think, there are more ways, better ways, to handle this." "I've tried everything." I sat on the wooden bed and shrugged my shoulders trying to think of everything.
"Well when you say everything, that could mean a lot of things, did you try things related to the 'cures' and things outside of it?" He sighed, he walked over to me and looked me in the eyes.
"I have tried everything. I've tried locking myself in the dungeon and leaving the kingdom, I've tried a multitude of potions even mixing some, tried charms, hexes, and spells."
I slumped down on the wood, it was prickly and cold. Then again this entire dungeon is freezing. "Why didn't anything work?" "I don't know nor do we have the time to try and figure that out now." "It could be important. Help me do the job you asked me to do."
He didn't respond, too busy screwing chains shut on his wrist. I rolled onto the bed, it was starting to become more comfortable.
"I don't need anything specific just how it ended up failing." "Simple I couldn't stay awake." " You need to be more specific"
"Well I don't know what you want me to say. I took the potions I did the hexes and every single one didn't work." "Then what about when you left how did that fail." He was stressed and so was I.
I couldn't do anything to help cause we knew nothing about what was causing the change. He was stressed cause how is a crowned prince going to become king when he transform into a murderous monster every 24th night.
"The thing used magic and brought me back before changing." I shot up and twirled over the bed to face him. "It used magic!?" he froze a bit, confused by the reaction. "Yes, you already know it can use magic. "NOT powerful magic!"
I crawled off the bed and raced into my bag. "What does it matter?" He was perplexed by how panicked I was dumping things out. I need the drawings.
"It completely changes things!" I saw the paper fall onto the floor. I snatched it up and raced to the light outside the dungeon.
I didn't believe it when I saw the drawing, I thought I was being overdramatic. There was no way I was right at first, I couldn't be, because then that would mean- I stared at the drawing it looked exactly how they described it to be. I looked back at Kaeden.
It's crazy how learning new stuff about the people you know can completely change the way they look to you. He noticed my shift in personality immediately. "What? Edan what is it?"
"How far?" "What?" I walked to my bag and quickly started shoving things in it, keeping the drawing close to my chest.
"How far away did you go?!" "I went to Thanxthiles." I dropped my bag. "Oh, my Johi! To the Thanxthiles, like into the kingdom!" "yes."
I couldn't tell if I was excited or shocked, it didn't matter. This is the greatest day of my life. I couldn't speak either, I just started freaking out.
I grabbed onto his arms and jumped up and down roots started to sprout from beneath me every time I touched the ground. "Really? You went that far! And it used magic to bring itself back here!" He didn't respond only looking around as nature started to break into the concrete of the dungeon.
I broke away from him and started jumping all around and looking at the drawing with a newfound aspiration. "Edna wait? I'm confused." " A SEKAN BEAST! YOU'RE A SEKAN BEAST VESSEL!"
I ran toward him and shoved the paper into his hand. "Look! Look! That's what you said the beast looks like right? And it displays the use of magic!"
I was inches away from his face brimming with joy. He scooted away slightly. As he answered with sheer confusion. "Yes."
My eyes ignited in exhilaration. I was dancing all around the room. Bouncing off the walls excited. "Eden. My room! your plan-" "This is such great news, you can become so much stronger than you are now! You can become like the mighty kings of old!"
I said as I jumped on his bed and crawled towards him. I was smiling so much and felt a sudden need to laugh. "EDEN!" He grabbed me off the bed, he was strong. "WOW you're already so strong imagine when you fully grow into your powers!" "Eden my fucking room!"
I surveyed the room and noticed how it started to turn into a miniature forest, roots overturning his floors and trees ripening with fruit brushing through the wall and flowers with little flying bugs in almost every corner of where I stepped.
Still, I was breathlessly ecstatic. "A SEKAN beast." I chuckled before having to catch my breath. He sat me down.
"What is a Sekan beast and why are you so happy that it torments my kingdom?" He wasn't happy like I was, no he wasn't happy at all with my reaction.
To be fair to him becoming a vessel to a Sekan best is rare the effects on their life is grave. I raised my hand and shrunk the forest back into the ground. "I'm sorry for getting too excited but this is great news."
He winced at the words and pulled away. "How is any of this great news? I lost my best friend to this thing. And you're over here celebrating and praising my suffering."
"No no. I'm not saying what you're going through is great I'm saying what is causing this is great being and can be talked to." He shook his head and rested his arms on his legs in despair.
"A great being." He mumbled. I wrapped my arms around him and rested my head on his back, covering him with my cloak. "The thing taking over your body is called a sekan beast."
"I figured that much." "It's the beast of the gods and... is a sign that the person that they take over is in favor of the gods and they're sent to get rid of people who would interfere with their vessel's journey." He raised his head in distress. "Save me from- huh It's the very danger of my-" "I know. I know."
I grabbed his hand tightly. "The gods send the beast to take away obstacles that may cause you intense agony or intend to end your history short." he grasped onto the side of my skirt.
He was at a loss for words. I sat in silence with him. He probably didn't want to hear more about the beast.
After a while I feared for him to sleep so I shook him lightly and tried to comfort him. "I'm sorry, you lost people close or even if they were just people you never met, but they're gone for a reason."
He didn't respond, just shuddered a breath. "At least this way. You can remember them as they are not what they would've been."
He stood up and faced the wall. " I don't. I just, he was my best friend, I wanted nothing more than to rid myself of this thing since his death but now you're telling me, his death was necessary and that he would betray me or even kill me. I just. I can't."
"I never met him or know anything about your guy's relationship, but he must've changed in the future to do so."
"No people don't just change, there must have been something!" "That no one could've saved him from."
He just looked at me a shook his head. "Mmm mm! I could've!" I walked up to him and tried to reason with him.
"If the Sekan took his life that likely means it was his fate to hurt you whether he wanted to or not." "Then why kill him? If it was his fate to hurt me, why cut his life? Why kill him, by my hands? Why even have him born in the first place? " He was hurt.
"The sekan took him to spare you. Whatever it was he would've done would've been too much for you to bear, be it physically or mentally. His action would've caused your demise."
He just turned away from me. He didn't try to argue against my reason anymore and just listened to me. I gave him everything I knew about the beast.
Former vessels, their powers, the transformation, their history, and stories about how they came to be.
He suddenly sprang from the bed. "What time is it?" "Umm... it's" I looked up to my arm and used my painted fingers to move my moon tattoo it shifted to look like the moon outside.
"It's almost midnight." he just stared at my arm mouth gaped open. "What?" "What do you mean what? What was that that?"
"Magic?" "I'm not talking about the magic I'm talking about the painting on your arm. Did you paint that on yourself?" I looked at him in disbelief, laughing at his face of amusement and bewilderment, I showed him more of them.
"They're called tattoos, they're not exactly paintings. They're permanent, you ink them onto your skin using needles. Anyone can get them, many if not all witches have them. Makes casting spells easier."
"Woah. I've never seen them in real life, it seems much cooler than magic." I rolled my eyes and chuckled. "Why did you ask for the time anyway?"
His joy dispersed into a somber calm. "It's almost time." "I thought you said you didn't know when the transformation happens, it just happens" "That's true but it's typically around midnight that it happens."
I stayed silent for a moment. "It's an ugly and honestly embarrassing process that I don't want you to see." "But I need to converse with it." "Well, you'll know when the transformation is done cause you won't hear my screams anymore."
The words danced off his tongue like it was a joke. But his laughing quickly turned to a nervous cough when he saw my worrisome expression.
"I suggest it'd be best you left for a couple of minutes-" "Does it hurt you to transform?" He seemed uncomfortable at the idea of it, he swung his arms nervously before picking at the chains.
"Yes. Yes, it does." He said looking away from me as if in shame. I don't understand. The transformation should've been physically painless.
"What? Can, you describe it?" "I don't know how to. Umm, I guess it would feel like my entire body was being stretched and ripped apart."
This doesn't make any sense, is he a Sekan's vessel? I paced around a bit trying to understand.
There is no other creature able to take over a body and everything points to a sekan but the physical pain of the transformation should never happen.
"I don't want you here when it does happen. It's difficult to watch so please just go upstairs and wait." Something's wrong. I just nodded my head and walked out.
He was shutting the door, I looked back he seemed so sad. I pushed the door back open and hugged him.
He was shocked and so was I, but he was going to be in pain. "It's... it's going to be alright I promise." He hugged me and we stayed there for a moment.

"Eden?" I flinched back his left eye had bloody feathers coming out of every pore and his pupils were stretched and his eye was starting to grow over his face.

"There has to be another way though. You're the CROWNED prince, next in line for the throne of Jakqulies, I'd be a bad subject if I'd let you stay."
"And I would be a bad king if I listened to you." "I'm a good influence though, so you should listen to me."
He rolled his eyes and anchored down the chains to the wall. he ignored me, even though he was the one who brought me here in the first place.
pinched my eyebrows in frustration. "I just think, there are more ways, better ways, to handle this." "I've tried everything." I sat on the wooden bed and shrugged my shoulders trying to think of everything.
"Well when you say everything, that could mean a lot of things, did you try things related to the 'cures' and things outside of it?" He sighed, he walked over to me and looked me in the eyes.
"I have tried everything. I've tried locking myself in the dungeon and leaving the kingdom, I've tried a multitude of potions even mixing some, tried charms, hexes, and spells."
I slumped down on the wood, it was prickly and cold. Then again this entire dungeon is freezing. "Why didn't anything work?" "I don't know nor do we have the time to try and figure that out now." "It could be important. Help me do the job you asked me to do."
He didn't respond, too busy screwing chains shut on his wrist. I rolled onto the bed, it was starting to become more comfortable.
"I don't need anything specific just how it ended up failing." "Simple I couldn't stay awake." " You need to be more specific"
"Well I don't know what you want me to say. I took the potions I did the hexes and every single one didn't work." "Then what about when you left how did that fail." He was stressed and so was I.
I couldn't do anything to help cause we knew nothing about what was causing the change. He was stressed cause how is a crowned prince going to become king when he transform into a murderous monster every 24th night.
"The thing used magic and brought me back before changing." I shot up and twirled over the bed to face him. "It used magic!?" he froze a bit, confused by the reaction. "Yes, you already know it can use magic. "NOT powerful magic!"
I crawled off the bed and raced into my bag. "What does it matter?" He was perplexed by how panicked I was dumping things out. I need the drawings.
"It completely changes things!" I saw the paper fall onto the floor. I snatched it up and raced to the light outside the dungeon.
I didn't believe it when I saw the drawing, I thought I was being overdramatic. There was no way I was right at first, I couldn't be, because then that would mean- I stared at the drawing it looked exactly how they described it to be. I looked back at Kaeden.
It's crazy how learning new stuff about the people you know can completely change the way they look to you. He noticed my shift in personality immediately. "What? Edan what is it?"
"How far?" "What?" I walked to my bag and quickly started shoving things in it, keeping the drawing close to my chest.
"How far away did you go?!" "I went to Thanxthiles." I dropped my bag. "Oh, my Johi! To the Thanxthiles, like into the kingdom!" "yes."
I couldn't tell if I was excited or shocked, it didn't matter. This is the greatest day of my life. I couldn't speak either, I just started freaking out.
I grabbed onto his arms and jumped up and down roots started to sprout from beneath me every time I touched the ground. "Really? You went that far! And it used magic to bring itself back here!" He didn't respond only looking around as nature started to break into the concrete of the dungeon.
I broke away from him and started jumping all around and looking at the drawing with a newfound aspiration. "Edna wait? I'm confused." " A SEKAN BEAST! YOU'RE A SEKAN BEAST VESSEL!"
I ran toward him and shoved the paper into his hand. "Look! Look! That's what you said the beast looks like right? And it displays the use of magic!"
I was inches away from his face brimming with joy. He scooted away slightly. As he answered with sheer confusion. "Yes."
My eyes ignited in exhilaration. I was dancing all around the room. Bouncing off the walls excited. "Eden. My room! your plan-" "This is such great news, you can become so much stronger than you are now! You can become like the mighty kings of old!"
I said as I jumped on his bed and crawled towards him. I was smiling so much and felt a sudden need to laugh. "EDEN!" He grabbed me off the bed, he was strong. "WOW you're already so strong imagine when you fully grow into your powers!" "Eden my fucking room!"
I surveyed the room and noticed how it started to turn into a miniature forest, roots overturning his floors and trees ripening with fruit brushing through the wall and flowers with little flying bugs in almost every corner of where I stepped.
Still, I was breathlessly ecstatic. "A SEKAN beast." I chuckled before having to catch my breath. He sat me down.
"What is a Sekan beast and why are you so happy that it torments my kingdom?" He wasn't happy like I was, no he wasn't happy at all with my reaction.
To be fair to him becoming a vessel to a Sekan best is rare the effects on their life is grave. I raised my hand and shrunk the forest back into the ground. "I'm sorry for getting too excited but this is great news."
He winced at the words and pulled away. "How is any of this great news? I lost my best friend to this thing. And you're over here celebrating and praising my suffering."
"No no. I'm not saying what you're going through is great I'm saying what is causing this is great being and can be talked to." He shook his head and rested his arms on his legs in despair.
"A great being." He mumbled. I wrapped my arms around him and rested my head on his back, covering him with my cloak. "The thing taking over your body is called a sekan beast."
"I figured that much." "It's the beast of the gods and... is a sign that the person that they take over is in favor of the gods and they're sent to get rid of people who would interfere with their vessel's journey." He raised his head in distress. "Save me from- huh It's the very danger of my-" "I know. I know."
I grabbed his hand tightly. "The gods send the beast to take away obstacles that may cause you intense agony or intend to end your history short." he grasped onto the side of my skirt.
He was at a loss for words. I sat in silence with him. He probably didn't want to hear more about the beast.
After a while I feared for him to sleep so I shook him lightly and tried to comfort him. "I'm sorry, you lost people close or even if they were just people you never met, but they're gone for a reason."
He didn't respond, just shuddered a breath. "At least this way. You can remember them as they are not what they would've been."
He stood up and faced the wall. " I don't. I just, he was my best friend, I wanted nothing more than to rid myself of this thing since his death but now you're telling me, his death was necessary and that he would betray me or even kill me. I just. I can't."
"I never met him or know anything about your guy's relationship, but he must've changed in the future to do so."
"No people don't just change, there must have been something!" "That no one could've saved him from."
He just looked at me a shook his head. "Mmm mm! I could've!" I walked up to him and tried to reason with him.
"If the Sekan took his life that likely means it was his fate to hurt you whether he wanted to or not." "Then why kill him? If it was his fate to hurt me, why cut his life? Why kill him, by my hands? Why even have him born in the first place? " He was hurt.
"The sekan took him to spare you. Whatever it was he would've done would've been too much for you to bear, be it physically or mentally. His action would've caused your demise."
He just turned away from me. He didn't try to argue against my reason anymore and just listened to me. I gave him everything I knew about the beast.
Former vessels, their powers, the transformation, their history, and stories about how they came to be.
He suddenly sprang from the bed. "What time is it?" "Umm... it's" I looked up to my arm and used my painted fingers to move my moon tattoo it shifted to look like the moon outside.
"It's almost midnight." he just stared at my arm mouth gaped open. "What?" "What do you mean what? What was that that?"
"Magic?" "I'm not talking about the magic I'm talking about the painting on your arm. Did you paint that on yourself?" I looked at him in disbelief, laughing at his face of amusement and bewilderment, I showed him more of them.
"They're called tattoos, they're not exactly paintings. They're permanent, you ink them onto your skin using needles. Anyone can get them, many if not all witches have them. Makes casting spells easier."
"Woah. I've never seen them in real life, it seems much cooler than magic." I rolled my eyes and chuckled. "Why did you ask for the time anyway?"
His joy dispersed into a somber calm. "It's almost time." "I thought you said you didn't know when the transformation happens, it just happens" "That's true but it's typically around midnight that it happens."
I stayed silent for a moment. "It's an ugly and honestly embarrassing process that I don't want you to see." "But I need to converse with it." "Well, you'll know when the transformation is done cause you won't hear my screams anymore."
The words danced off his tongue like it was a joke. But his laughing quickly turned to a nervous cough when he saw my worrisome expression.
"I suggest it'd be best you left for a couple of minutes-" "Does it hurt you to transform?" He seemed uncomfortable at the idea of it, he swung his arms nervously before picking at the chains.
"Yes. Yes, it does." He said looking away from me as if in shame. I don't understand. The transformation should've been physically painless.
"What? Can, you describe it?" "I don't know how to. Umm, I guess it would feel like my entire body was being stretched and ripped apart."
This doesn't make any sense, is he a Sekan's vessel? I paced around a bit trying to understand.
There is no other creature able to take over a body and everything points to a sekan but the physical pain of the transformation should never happen.
"I don't want you here when it does happen. It's difficult to watch so please just go upstairs and wait." Something's wrong. I just nodded my head and walked out.
He was shutting the door, I looked back he seemed so sad. I pushed the door back open and hugged him.
He was shocked and so was I, but he was going to be in pain. "It's... it's going to be alright I promise." He hugged me and we stayed there for a moment.
Not a sound just our hearts beating. He pulled away and shut the door behind me. I walked up the stairs, slowly.
I know I said I would wait to give him his time to suffer without witness. But just because he wants it doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.
I stayed on the fourth step for what seemed to be a long time. I don't know what I was waiting for. Maybe to hear his cries? Maybe to hear him and rush back in? But I didn't hear anything.
"This looks so creepy." I insulted myself and began to walk up. I had a sickly feeling that grew with each step was it okay to leave him there alone?
I know it's what he asked and he decided it was the best and he is the future king. So I should listen to him. I made it to the courtyard, the feeling was now a wave constantly beating over me.
Fuck it.
I may reside in his kingdom but I'm a witch we know no kings. I pulled back the door and made my way back down the stairs. Which for some reason seemed to be much longer than when I came up.
The feeling was growing increasingly vexing with each step, I soon started running down the stairs. I raced to the bottom, I could hear sobs getting closer with each step
I jumped over the last two and bolted down the hall. "Kaeden!" I bearly stopped myself from sliding past his door. I grabbed the handle and flung it open. "Kaeden!" He was crouched over on the floor, grabbing at his arms. He raised his head to look at me.
"Eden?" I flinched back his left eye had bloody feathers coming out of every pore and his pupils were stretched and his eye was starting to grow over his face.
"What are you doing here?! I told you to leave!" His voice was layered with another more animalistic curl, but it just made his pain much more noticeable.
I rushed over to him. He tried to get up and walk away but quickly fell to the floor. "Please! I don't want you to see me like this!" His voice was filled with pain, I couldn't stand it. "I'm sorry but it's wrong to just leave you here to suffer alone.
Be mad at me all you want later but I won't leave you." I put my hand in his and let him squeeze it as hard as he needed. He was sweating like crazy.
Blood dripped onto my hand every second. He trembled with each new feather. I didn't know what I could do. I don't think I can do anything.
I started to panic when he started to scream out, he tried to stifle it every time but it didn't change the fact that his hands started to grow new bones.
I felt his skin break and his bones shift. I couldn't stand the feeling but it was more horrific to watch as it happened to his back.
Blood started to seep into his clothes, his skin started to shrink and harden into scales, I could feel feathers grow on his hands and see it started to replace his hair.
I could bearly catch my breath at the sight of his bone tearing through his skin. Breaking and mending themselves into a strange shape.
He had already bled some much it died my purple skirt to a violent red. "Please... leave..." his voice was just a broken sob; a tired whisper.
He was completely terrified. I felt tears on my face. I leaned over him and hugged him almost as if I was shielding him. Hard to shield him from his own body.
I broke down alongside him. "It's going to be over soon, real soon. I promise. It's going to be okay I'm right here. I'm not leaving." I could feel him shivering under me.
I could feel him gasping for air. I hear his bones moving in his body. I could hear his voice change with every sob. It was almost over. "It's almost over Kaeden" I was relieved we couldn't see each other's faces.
He wouldn't believe me if he could see how terrified I looked and I couldn't see what he was turning into. My tears pooled and soaked into the feathers on his back.
I felt drained but I could only imagine the pain Kaeden was going through. It was painful to just watch. I just stayed there telling him it was going to be okay as his screams override my voice.
I tightened my hold on him as I watched his blood flow from him to the crack under the door. I tried to listen to his heartbeat but I couldn't find it. After what seems like a lifetime.
His bones stopped moving, I couldn't feel any more blood flowing like a stream, and I didn't feel his skin transmute into scales and feathers pop through his skin.
I raised my head, blood had soaked through my hair dampening and staining my cheek. I looked at him.
He didn't even look human anymore. His body was covered in feathers, he had talons for nails, and his legs had grown extra joints not to mention he had grown twice- no three times his size.
He was bizarrely clean despite the pool of blood surrounding us. It would've been a straight blessing from Johi to be holding or even be this close to a Sekan beast; had its arrival been under normal circumstances.
I wiped away the blood from my face and took my arm away. I was suddenly jerked forward, it wrapped its hand on my arm. I tried to pull away but it dug its talons in my skin. I didn't hesitate to tie the thing down with vines.
the vines shot back out through the concrete and quickly made their way around the beast's neck and arms. The beast didn't take this lightly and started to stand. It pulled me close and tried to pick me up by my arm.
The plants grabbed at its legs and tried to knock it down but it stood its ground. The branch around his neck tightened forcing its head to rear up. it wasn't as monstrous as I had thought, it still had a semblance of a human face but it was not Kaeden's.
The eyes had a pattern similar to stained glass and the pupils were too large, I could see the reflection of my fear in its eyes. The neck was long it the vine had wrapped around it four times.
it clenched its jaw and bared its sharp jigsaw teeth as it struggled to breathe. I had a chance to tie it down and I didn't hesitate.
I reached out and commanded the plants to pull his knees down. It hit the ground after struggling for stability. I pulled away, its talons digging into my skin. I yanked myself free, its claws sliced open my hand and almost took my fingers off.
I grabbed at my arm the blood flowing through my fingers. the Sekan was grabbing at the branches at its neck breaking them. I didn't give it the chance to free itself before I flung it through the bed and into the wall.
The beast was shocked and angry. It expanded its size with its wings unfurling from its side, but the vines already bursting through the wall wrapped them up and bent them to be useless.
it was fighting for its freedom like a feral animal, and not a majestic beast of the gods like it was said to be. with each struggle, the vines multiplied and grew thicker.
I watched as it almost got completely consumed by the trees. I mended my flesh concentrated flame and glued my skin back together.
I looked back up and the thing was motionless. almost like it was dead. I motioned for the plants to release it. It collapsed to the ground choking for air. I went behind the door and locked it and called out to it through the bars.
"What are you?" The only response was coughs and the ruffle of feathers. "Answer me." It rose and stood still for a moment before cracking its neck downward to look me in the eyes. It was nauseating I grabbed at my neck, sure that if I tried that I'd die.
"You know what I am Witch of Rthytic." Its voice had a curl to it, a nasty freighting curl. I could hear Kaedens's voice mixed with it. "I know what u pretend to be. Sekans are beasts of the gods, you're just a beast." It chuckled before bending its neck back.
It kneeled at the door; it was still slightly larger than the door. its eyes still glimmered but its pupils were small and focused. "The gods are dead witch." I drew back from the door, it grinned slightly "At least they will be."
"What are you talking about!?" "Haven't you noticed how unfair things have been lately, never felt overwhelmed by the voiceless replies. I know you noticed how empty and gut-wrenching the tempels feel and you never wondered why?" I didn't know how to respond. I just stare at the beast.
"No. no what are you really, no Sekan would act such a way about the gods. nor would you cause your vessel so much pain." The beast stopped smiling and backed away from the door retreating into the shadows.
The lock suddenly clicked and the door opened. It spoke very coldly as it crouched through the door "The gods have abandoned their morals. They usurped Beseled, now the world will fall into chaos. There's a god slayer in this remele. this slayer is Kaeden Esmened the fourth, crowned prince of Jakqulies."
I froze as a ball built up in my throat. I tried to walk away but it grabbed my arm and forced me to listen.
"The gods know of Kaeden and want him dead. I forced my way into Kaedens soul to rid of future opposers. His physical pain is minor compared to what thousands would go through if I didn't get to him. Kaeden was never meant to be the great ruler he was meant to kill the gods" I pulled away. "let go." "You were also meant great things." "what."
"The Witch of Rthytic your name will be known far more than keadens. you will be the reason he is even remembered."
"What do you mean." it let me go and began to walk away. "I don't need to tell you, just watch the gods you commune with." I was confused, everything it told me was too much, how was I supposed to tell this to Kaeden?
I wouldn't be able to do it. I looked up and the thing was gone. I raced up the stairs to see it spread its wings on the roof of the courtyard. The wings were twice the size of its own body, so big it blocked out the moon.
Of every slayer that's ever lived, only one made it back alive, but even then their body had failed them, I can't let Kaeden leave like this. "Wait!" I looked over its shoulder.
If the gods are killed then there be a strange new age of human power, that will only lead to destruction. There has to be someone stronger to care for the weak.
"It- is there a way to make Kaeden," it looked at me and grinned, " a god." Its eyes widen and its lips curl. I would make Kaeden a god and inadvertently the beast too. It put its hand out. Kaeden fate was always twisted against him, his death was meant to be cruel and lonely. He would be fine with sacrificing himself for the greater good.
But he made a deal with a witch, he thrust his soul and the beast into my hands. Both will become gods for one to live. I dug my nails into its skin as we made our pledge to birth a new era.
Of chaos and love.
