Today is the anniversary of the day my Mother made me, what you guys call birthday, or bday if you are one of those people that likes to cut everything short...
How old am I you ask? Like hell a Lady is gonna tell you her age! This Fair Faery Lady won't either! (Psss FFL for those people that likes to cut everything short.)
Soooo... Today, I decided to do what I want. Eh? You say that every day I do what I want? Well you are not wrong... But, today! Today, I have a really real reasonable reason to do what I want! What's that reason you ask? I think you are not listening to me, IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! Duh!
So, first things first, I wanna make my self a gift! I want a pet! Mother a couple thousands millions years ago gifted herself a pet too! (No! She is not old, she is raffinated like fine wine.)
Mother named her pet as Dragon, I want a pet too, I want a cool pet!
I love water, I feel water, I am water... once in a while... not always.
I'm curious, what happens if I mix a bird with a killer whale? Well... I made a bird... A black and white kinda big bird... It forgot how to fly... Eh it swims kinda fast tho... Oh right... I forgot...
When the Flaming Goddess of Fiery Righteousness was invited to our castle... She came with her pet... A white flamed phoenix, the first of the phoenixes, well... Mother's pet kinda impregnated it... Errr it was definetly pregnant and the Goddess was definetly not happy about that, the little dracophoenixes were cute too... Too bad.
After that Mother put a ban on pets inside the castle. Oh well, I'll put my new bird on ice for the time being.

Made my own pet, check.
Second things second, there is this guy that's working as mercenary for the Gods, he travels from world to plane to world and fights battles for them. He is given rewards for his work and is becoming pretty strong... for a guy... I meant for a mortal. He is always surrounded by men and women, they fight for his attentions but he is thinking about the rewards and ignore everyone every single time. Great work ethic, bad interpersonal skills. I hate dense people like him, so I usually splash some water on him when he's being dense... maybe it will dilute him with time? I wanna see what hes doing. He made the prince cry, the princess tried to win his heart, broke her heart, the queen snuck inside his room at night naked, he dressed her and brought her back to the king... I'm so FUCKING done with this shit! I made him fall into a puddle of water then moved him inside a dimensional loop, I'll feed him some women, maybe some annoying ones, and I won't let him out until he falls in love with one!
Made a little prank, check.
Third things third, let's check my favourite non Mother or sister female being. She is watching her son with the scrying pool I made for her, she is both happy and sad at the same time... I'll check on her at another time. No, I'm not a coward, I learned that women can be really hard to face when under conflicting emotions. No, I'm joking, women are always hard to face, when emotional? Impossible to face, unless you are suicidal.
Checked on my favourite female... Check, yeah I'll take that as a check.
Fourth things fourth, let's check on my favourite male being. He's still alive, he is still playing around. He won't for long, bad things happens when people are not serious enough, might need to make a jump there and fix things... Again. Oh right, where is his guardian? I made a promise, protection for a helping hand in the future. But that guardian has done nothing yet and I'm kinda really getting pissed. Promises are sacred.

Checked on my favourite male, check.
Fifth things fifth, I actually had only four things to do but that guardian... GRRRR. I'll go to it in person!
"Why in every watery flying fucks are you playing around with the humans instead of doing your job!"
"Oh, you are here, we got separated when you sent us down here, haven't been able to find him yet."
"I found him just fine, can't you do your guardian guarding job and do the fucking same!?"
"You are the fucking faery of water! How can I find a single person in an entire fucking world!?"
"Do better! Fifteen years are gone by and you did not find him yet! Are you even trying?"
"I'm moving around like crazy, I'm scouring land after land, a little help would be appreciated!"
"I don't like your tone, you have a job, get to it and be good at it."
"Get me to my burden and I will carry it, can do nothing like this, you don't like my tone? Tell me where he is, I have a vengeance to get to. I don't wanna lose time with this shit, already fifteen years are gone by for nothing!"
The fae's eyes shone, an intense blue light hit the guardian. The guardian backed off and tried to put itself in a guarding position then, it undersood, it was not being attacked. The entire world became water, in an istant everything was water, even the guardian itself. It could do nothing, it could not react fast enough, there was nothing to react to. And then it was over, the world was back to normal, the guardian was back to a being of flesh, the faery snorted.
"You are sooo lucky I'm not emotional!"
Checking on the guardian, check.
Ok, I'm done for today and my great day of doing what I want. I just need to leave and not get cau-
"Sister, what are you doing in my library?"
Damn.
"Did you write on any of them?"
Said the suspicious faery of knowledge.
"I needed some paper to make a check list..."
"OH. MY. MOTHER! You did not!"
Said Bee May, as she surpassed the faery of water to check on her library.
"You better come and cl-" Bee May turned around furious. "Sister? Where are you? Come back here right now! I will call Mother and it won't be fun!"
Made a prank to a sister, check.

Virtuous Sons
The saying goes that when a man is born the Fates weave his destiny and swaddle him in it. Then one day the man dies, and the swaddle becomes a shroud. Heaven moves on. It is audacity to question the Fates. Olympus is Olympus. The land of men is the land of men. To transgress that, to cross the line of divinity and scale Olympus Mons? To defy the Fates and cast off their threads? That is hubris. It’s a mark that every philosopher bears plainly on their soul. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
