Challenge #04584-L200: Never Lie to Dragons

They had been rescued from a rich family that had kept them prisoner due to both their immense healing gift, and their emerald eyes, and gemstone horn and hooves. The dragon guised as a gnome knew what it was like to be so imprisoned and treated. And that experience helped them aid the distraught being. -- Anon Guest

Jade had been kept in the Gilded Palace since she hatched. She might have been there before she hatched, but there was no proof. Her keepers insisted that they kept her well, and in very good conditions. She had no proof of that, too.

All she knew was her gilded cage. Wards to keep her inside one chamber. Servants with gemstone brushes to scrub her moulting scales. Servants to smooth the new ones over with special oil. Servants to feed her exquisite feasts. Servants to blunt her claws. Special mages to capture her magic breaths for the greater good. They told her that she was safe in the chamber. She had to believe it, because one of her special servants relayed news of horrible things that had happened to Dragons.

All she had to do was obey the royal family's demands.

Saturday, Bread Day

I got a loaf in the incubator, I got a whole bunch of nonsense going on. I gotta put bread in the ovens¹ at about the same time I gotta ice my ankle. Fun times.

I will be enlisting whomsoever happens to be convenient to assist with that level of nonsense.

I have my offerings to make as well as bread to bake. And I will find a way to juggle that and the damn ankle. And I will be very

Writing is one of the best ways to heal a broken heart. Especially when finally allowing someone to see the break, and that someone holds you close and says "It's ok, we can rebuild together" and mean it. -- Anon Guest

Sweet merciful Powers, this Deregger conglomerate had gone too far. They had achieved almost godlike prowess with their technology, to the point of making cyborg servants for every need

Friday, Physio Day

My ankle is not letting me walk very much, very far today. To add to the fun, we need to make bread. Gonna need lots of help from the spawn today.

I'm not setting up my daily doses until after I'm back from the physio. That nonsense takes a LOT more time than the time I have before I take off for the physio.

So I shall be focussing on other offerings before I get back from the jackhammering.

I need every

Challenge #04582-L198: The Nature of Miracles

Priest Robert has found his salvation in the Church and now blesses old pagan shrines into the light of the true faith. Until one day, an innocent is chased by a beast into an abandoned temple, and all of his prayers and symbols fail. All except the icon of a heathen god he ought to think a wicked demon and a little rhyme his mother uttered while tucking him to bed. -- Anon Guest

Thursday, Shopping Day and Physio Tomorrow

We need eggs. We need a few other things... but not so much as last week. I'm going to have to rouse Chaos because Mayhem doesn't want to be involved. But I still need help to get stuff so... whatevs.

Miss Chaos has to learn to do stuff and be reliable and this is a perfect window of opportunity for that.

It might be a pain in both our arses, but she really needs to learn. Our girl can't coast for the

Wraithvine {who may or may not have a companion} has found Hirself contractually obligated with escorting a truly wretched individual to safety. A Lordling who pisses on the common folk, believes himself superior, and is guilty of a few actual crimes no one dares arrest him for.

No locals, anyway, and while Wraithvine needs to bring the Lordling to a certain location…there’s nothing that says the journey must end there. Why not continue on to a jurisdiction where the Lordling

Wednesday, Rant Due and Video Things

I figure that, if I edit on the days between posting day, then I have extra time windows to manage that thing. So I'm recording a thing today and wrangling stuff tomorrow so I can post on Friday.

I'm also doing a thing on my rant blog and I think I shall rave and recommend (surprising nobody) K-Pop Demon Hunters. I have a lot of love to share about it. And some words to spend on the best character in the whole

Kind and wise and magnanimous King Nydon's daughter has run off with a bard. Obviously she was tricked, as his castle is a happy place.

“Wraithvine is the name? Yes, you’ll do. Take along anyone you need. Here’s the princess's picture. Ignore any of her pleas, they’ll be the man’s magic. Just drop her off with the gate guards when you bring her back…” -- Anon Guest

Tuesday, Patreon and Extra Owwies

Yesterday, I could barely walk because of the ankle. My opposite knee doesn't like supporting the extra weight, so I've been wearing a knee brace there for at least four days.

After yesterday, my achey shoulders have been worse because supporting my weight with the cane has set the knots there into a worse tangle.

As I said to MeMum, I need a big burly bloke to wring the knots out of my shoulders with a bucket of Deep Heat.

I have

After having too many “brownies” Edward and flora stare at the starry sky above. “Hey Flo, if a vampire drink a fae’s blood, would the fae becomes it thrall? Or the vampire becomes the fae servant due to having fae food without permission?” Flora gaze at her undead friend. “That’s kinky… and how my parents got married…” -- Anon Guest

Monday, Owwies

As I type, I now have bracers on three of my joints. One on the ankle, one on my opposite knee, and one on my right hand. My left wrist is threatening to act up as well.

Mayhem can't go to work because the family resposible for taking him on the last leg have the dreaded Rona. Prayers for wellbeing appreciated

Today, walking is painful. I'm getting Chaos to help gather my daily doses.

This might be painful.

Challenge #04578-L194: When Prey Turns Around

The body lays beaten and bloody on the floor. They were breathing, they would not be killed, but they'd had plenty of chances to back out.

Two hours up, ten minutes "icing" my ankle. Lather, rinse, and repeat. For as long as I can stand doing that cycle.

I've taken loads of time to do my minimal offering output. I don't know if I can move things along quicker. I can try but...

The ankle is distracting even when I'm at my debatably most comfortable.

Add to the interesting times the fact that I'm lacking good quality time with the QPP and feeling a little lonely because of
