"No. Evil. And not just 'Demons from Tartarus' evil. The evil that resides in all of us. It may take many shapes. For me, that evil is Wrath. Even I lose my temper sometimes… once, I let my anger take over my soul and mind."

Yes. It hurts. It tears me apart inside, for fuck's sake, and in this moment I hate you for doing this.
But is your life.
I'll do it on my own from now on.
I'll train and become stronger than you ever were. I will find my brother and bring him safely home.
I will kill Ilistar and expose his head in triumph over the walls of Wintergrasp.
And I will lead the Northblades.
You are not worthy of it anymore."

Fourtones is snoring in his bed.
Looks like a few thieves are sharing the room with him.
…three mares sharing the bed.

Well then, we'll have to get a little more offensive. Lay down on my back, softly pulling Valeriana on top of me, then continue where we left off while slowly grinding against each other '1d10+2'
>Present
"How old are you Valeriana? How much longer will you continue to be alone? This is not the basis of a stable relationship, you know! This was your chance to start anew! Tabula rasa!"
I groan
"And to maybe get over him…"

She smacks him on the cheek and quickly flips away as he spins up in an attempt to backhoof her across the face in retaliation
"DAMNED GIRL WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?"

Oh my

"I'm a little over forty. And I will still try my best with him. I'm not giving up hope. But I'm not giving up my son either.
Not while he still so desperately seeks for a father. Not while he still thinks he can kill me."

"I'm happy to see you found my solution acceptable.
Now comes the important part.
I need a complete mapping of the underkingdom. And of Wintergrasp and Rockeye.
I'll have the Ironfoe spies assist you with the underkingdom and Rockeye, but Wintergrasp should be home enough to be an easier task.
We have great plans for the Underkingdom."

And what a show it was.
Cunts totally touched.
>Meanwhile
"What part do you find so hard to believe?"
>>288052
Not his poner. The Captain's.
You only got hugs.
"…thanks. I missed a good hug while you were gone."
>>288056
"Well there are city maps of Wintersgrasp, Rockeye and Ironfoe in the library and archives. Did you seriously need to wake me up for that?
As for the Underkingdom, I'm sure that can be arranged. When do you need them?"
>>288058
She hugs you and ruffles you mane a little
"That… makes me feel a lot better.
Thanks dear."

Time for after cuddling. '1d10+2'

I throw my hooves in the air
"Pumpkin wants a father!? It's Illistar isn't it!? Like he told me before!? Why!? He's the entire reason why you've been suffering like this! I've been trying to make you forget him and move on for years now!"

"Right. Now arrange the catalysts in the key points of the summoning rune"
>>288074
"If you want, we could nap right now~"
>>288078
It was gooey.
>IN THE FUTURE
"I fear Pumpkin sees great parallels between himself and Ilistar. And Peaches only helped bring out more similarities."
>>288079
"And who is it for then?
If I get a say in all this, the HQ should be built in the shaft left by the escaping dragon. The old dragon chamber is easy to defend, and the entire shaft is so long we can easily fit a large base there."

Nod at him.
"Exactly my thoughts.
The academy, that will have to be in a position we can easily access from the base and easy to cut off from the rest of the tunnels.
Best solution would be building it in a side tunnel with only one path to the main underkingdom, mined and ready to explode if needed."

"Well now, that was quite the dream, wasn't it~?"
I snicker and give Valeriana another kiss.
"Too bad Anvil isn't around~"
>Present
"He-"
I interrupt myself, taking in a deep breath
"Peaches? That's no longer even a problem anymore! And Pumpkin isn't like him at all either! When was the last time he throw a living damn child into a fireplace, huh!? HUH!?"

"Nylis. Stop. STOP.
Either take this seriously or just go somewhere else and let me finish this."
>>288102
"How about we just lie down then? And be close?"
>>288105
"Sounds rather extreme. But there are many dead ends. We can mine one out to be large enough to house an academy."
>>288107
"I think I should wake up by now…"
He lies down and falls asleep again.
Valeriana giggles
"he's so cute"
>Not the past
"…not yet at least.
But he is growing up well. Maybe one day he will become just as ruthless."

I look and smile at her, giving her another hug
"Thank you Valeriana, this was fun…"
>Present
"So after all this time you still don't trust me to take care of things then? You still can't give up on those old foolish dreams? All that effort for nothing…"
I sigh sadly, tearing up slightly
"Y-you're going to get yourself killed like this…"
I smile

He lies back down
"Will do. As soon as I've taken my nap."
Walking there takes a day.
>>288115
"Good. Ok that's the basic groundwork more or less ready.
Now we need to power up the catalysts and let the rune collect power."
>>288121
"I knew you'd like it."
>and so on
"No Venia. No I am not. I am simply taking this decision more smartly and incrementally. I will live in Wintersgrasp, doing my duties, but visit him in Rockeye whenever I can. And when I am sure I can truly be happy with him, I will consider moving in."

"I can't believe you-"
I sigh, interrupting myself
"I-I know what Pumpkin is playing at! He told me! He-"
I lunge at her and draw her in for a hug, crying openly now
"Just p-please don't leave me… P-promise me you wont abandon me!"

"I intend to challenge King Ebonreth in a few weeks time. I need combat training. And I assume you will be prepared to face his champions as well?"
>>288199
"Because I am his mother. I fear the poor boy is becoming lost in his quest. He wants to reunite us all. …even Whisperwind. He wants one big happy family."
