Final Fantasy XIV: The Winter Calamity

throwawaycrystal
Long had Eorzea lived to tell the story of her scars. The wounds brought about by ages past. Her reflections, some ruined, others desolate, could not claim to hold such bountiful life. Life full of potential. Time ticked for the star in a fated cycle. All things that shall come, would always come. But then the stranger, an obtuse creature with pink hair, appeared on the star's surface. This stranger swore like a sailor, fought like a monster, bred like a beast, and whispered stories that the star had never heard. Stories of her past. Her future. The stranger was confident. He had seen everything upon a fantastical tool called a "Wiki". And from whence he was "born" upon her tattered and fragmented surface, he vowed, not to save her, but to simply survive. Survive the coming crisis that he had forseen. Survive the crisis after of which he did not know. Survive the fate that all beings like him shared. The crippling weakness of "being a mob." "It's already hard enough on me, y'know? Surely you don't require more?" --- Author's Note : I don't need your powerstones or xyz currency. FFXIV:TWC is a story that I wanted to write as an exercise. In fact, I'd love if this novel stayed as some niche and dusty thing that sat in the corner of your library. If you want to empty your wallets, I won't stop you, but remember that it has no impact on what gets written and what doesn't. No matter where I steer this ship, I do hope that you enjoy the ride. Oh and if you comment something mean, be careful the next time you cross the street, okay? ---

Scions of the Cruel King

In Scions of the Cruel King, the Targaryen family drama is in full swing. After Aegon’s death, Aenys took the throne, but things quickly went south. Aenys wasn’t exactly a strong leader, and it didn’t take long before the Faith rose up against him. That’s when Maegor stepped in—furious and out for blood after the murder of Eleana. He crushed the rebellion with an iron fist. When Aenys died under some pretty shady circumstances, Maegor took over as king. But even though he was ruthless, the Faith remained a thorn in his side right up until his own brutal end in 48 A.L. Now, the story kicks off in 56 A.L., and the Targaryens are still in hot water. Jaehaerys, Aenys’s son, is holding down the fort as regent for his young cousin Vaegyl, Maegor’s son. The realm is a mess, full of uprisings and political scheming. Jaehaerys and his allies, like Gerold Westerling, are doing their best to keep the peace, but they don’t realize that Westerling and Ser Tybolt Lannister have their own plans. They’re secretly plotting to put Westerling’s grandson, Aegon, on the throne. As Vaegyl gets closer to coming of age, things start heating up. Old loyalties are questioned, hidden secrets come to light, and the shadow of Maegor’s brutal reign still hangs over everything. The fight for the Iron Throne is just beginning, and it’s going to get messy. If you’re into stories packed with power struggles, betrayals, and the Targaryens fighting for control of the Seven Kingdoms, Scions of the Cruel King is right up your alley.
