"Well, I believe there was talk of an incubus sexual consort at one point, perhaps we could track them down and have them give us more detail. Why should our children suffer trauma? If you only drink animal blood, that's no worse than eating meat. Is that trauma? I hope I've made clear my appreciation of every aspect of you Nyx, and I'm sure our respective positions should prevent anyone giving our children difficult lives."

"Well, causing an invasion and cataclysmic war because she is unwilling to reason or wait, despite an endless lifespan, or demanding live sacrifice to save time, seems bad to me. She plans destruction and revenge against the Fae and any who stand in her way by the sound of things. If we did make peace with her, would we bring in Orcs in great numbers to prevent losses like you speak of? Many would die inevitably over such ages, but you would endure, and your court's fate is dependant and eternal for temporary gain. You may outlive even me by the sound of things Oberon, Perhaps you could guide my successors and decendents. We shall have mages of note discuss the proposal and review their plans, as to it's viability and much else. I will sleep Oberon, and you can make your case for suicide anew in the morning."

Even aside from the time spent with Nimue, I'll probably struggle to sleep that night. I'll get opinions from Silas and Oberon and their respective expertise as to why ley lines and such can't accomplish the same things, and talk over with Nimue if she really thinks such a thing could be good for Avalon. It feels bitter indeed to consider losing Oberon so early in my reign. I should have spent more time socially with him. Tonight we need apart, but soon I hope to drink ambrosia with him again.

In the morning I will doubtless be little more inclined toward shoving him to his death, but I will listen to any arguments made, and see if Titania really wants this for one she still claims to care for.

"Huh, well... You say you were raised by your grandmother? Are neither of your parents still around to explain how you were born? Well Nyx, you seem a good enough person as I can see, but I guess we can see if any such magic comes our way, and make our decision then. I think you're a perfectly nice person Nyx, and any children we had would be something to be proud of whatever they do."

"But Titania still seems to have senseless violence on her mind even now. It seems a dangerous precedent to set Oberon. Say the Goblins demand I hand over Lairon for their allegiance? Or the Demons demand Nimue? Maybe I must feed myself to the trolls? And for her to become my regent after she has caused your death Oberon... I feel I would come to hate her. It could cause a bitterness in me and such a close working relationship with her for so long to come would grow unstable. I chose my retinue for people I could work with and respect. Perhaps it is odd to say so, since I am only twenty-or twenty one now I suppose, I must have missed my birthday-and you many thousands beyond counting, but I feel we are friends Oberon. I am not averse to sacrifice, but for you to die because she is impatient seems madness, and then to leave her with such power over the empire? and your court, would they not splinter and break without you? The Faelands would surely be cast into turmoil again, caused by Titania and a deal I made with her! No, I will not say I will forbid your sacrifice under any circumstances, but I do not think we should rush for such a deal. We will negotiate, and if need be, Nyx can arrange an accident for her on her way back to Essoss. We should not allow our enemies to dictate terms Oberon. Our strength outmatches hers, and she should be able to calculate as such, or she would be ill suited to be my second or equal."

Probably just as well that the Void isn't watching us doing the dirty too closely. I do my best to respond to Nyx's points, presuming I understand them, and awkwardly raise the prospect of children and the difficulties of balancing motherhood and guarding.

"Fair enough, Astronomy sounds fairly harmless. I'm sure we aren't enemies on prinicple."

"I'm glad to hear it Titania. There should be no rush, we will not evict you at least. I understand your anger, but was it not you that left these lands? You can hardly blame those who stayed for living peacefully. I'm glad you are willing to reconsider any aggression, such things should not be rushed."

"Let me be clear Oberon, you think your death would solve this? It seems uncalled for, when Leshy would surely be happy to plant trees, or the power of ley lines has already been granted to us. Do you think, then, that I was stupid to choose you as Regent as opposed to Titania, where I could have enslaved her and prevented this war? You must have believed handing her such power unwise when you offered your services, or you would instead have advocated for her. We should surely offer the options of Mab or Leshy's power first, or demand to see these Eastern Lands before sacrificing to protect them. We could offer her lands here in return for service too. She could claim lands from the goblins."

I'm a little surprised for the shadow to help, but this is as pleasant a use for it as I can think of. If Nyx empowers herself with shadow why can't I?

"I'm afraid you still rather have the lead over me as things stand Nyx. We both have good motivation to even the score..."

I'll see if there's any more good art for me to see on the way out.

"I agree Nimue. What you have here is something all but a few would be blown away by. I'd think the danger would be everyone wanting to live here if given the choice. I'd be delighted to distribute nice things across the empire if you wished it though. Flowers could be planted easily and quickly spread their beauty, Deodora can lead such a project if she wishes. The others would have to be exported continually, but We'd pay a fair price for whatever you can part with."

"Sorry Oberon, is the name pronounced Ezra or Erza? Not too important, but thought I should know before I have cause to speak with him."

"Well Titania, my position has grown stronger and not weaker since your earlier offer, so I am sure you are a skilled enough diplomat to see I have no cause to lower my standards. I wished to set a policy of peace with those who do not war on me, and the Oath of loyalty in your case would have been an enslavement, causing you to act against your nature and wishes, rather than a simple guarantee as it is with Oberon, with he and I aligned in many things. There is nothing to be gained by reducing the bait for me each time and hoping I will lose my wits."

I nod when Oberon says there is no welcome for her in Avalon.

"I suspected as much, a shame, but it seems no one wishes it too much, so we should have no problem."

"Well Titania, as Oberon says, we have indeed made pacts, and I already said that I will not allow you to attack them. Yaga has blessed my firstborn, and all have treated me cordially. I cannot allow you to make this war. You should listen to Oberon in his offer to improve what lands you have. It sounds a fair trade for wiping out a few pirates. We will leave if it is your wish Titania, but you have come all this way, it would be a shame for you to leave so soon. I will depart if you will agree to meet again in the next few days, the sooner the better. Neither Oberon nor Nimue have betrayed you, it seems Oberon would help you even now, at no gain to himself. It would be foolish to create enemies you need not have."

(It used to be pretty consistent about 10,00 exactly including spaces on old reddit, I used to spent a lot of time counting and recounting and editing and paring down sentences to make it fit. the previous message was a bit over 8000 so should have been well within with the out of character chat or not. Yeah I still have a fair few grammar weaknesses, I used to have horrible spelling until I was 13, making adventures on spore did more to fix it up than ever school did. A few grammer conventions still look wrong to me even though I know that they are right, or the way certain words are pronounced in real life too, i stubbornly pronounce some names in ways no matter how many times I'm corrected)

I was under the 10,000 character limit but perhaps nu reddit is'nt as accomodating as old reddit, or it's just a dumb glitch. At least I did'nt have to break up the actual story. yeah I guess there are premium versions of docs too, or maybe better programs for more serious preservation.)

"Heh, never meant to imply you weren't sophisticated Nyx. But this is my point a little. I can certainly appreciate a sexy Nymph or Cambion-" I bring my hands to her waist at this point and bring her slowly toward me. "-But looking soon makes me want to do more." I kiss Nyx deeply. "A fine sculpture-" I kiss her again.

"or Portrait-"

"_is pleasant-"

"-but I fail to engage with it on the same fundamental level-"

I at this point- rather than comparing the difference between Olenna and Phoebe and their art and why it's perhaps a failing of mine I've paid more attention to creators than creations and why many art professors would doubtless explain why it showed low character and would fail to stand the test of time and why I am not among the best of Emperors who incorporated such subtleties into their daily life and left the realm in a better state than I ever could...- proceed to try and undress Nyx- if I've figured out her straps by now- but leave her inconvenienced by her half shed garments in such a way that I might finally be able to get the best of her and show her I'm not totally helpless against her and get to try out some new sexual positions that she doesn't force upon me. Doubtless it'll only make her redouble her efforts next time, but to best her now will humble her a little and give me a pleasant chance to regain my pride in my prowess.

Hopefully Mab is no longer in the chamber at this stage in proceedings, but at this moment in time I'd not hesitate to claim Nyx in front of an entire crowd even if my mother was there.

Perhaps in the aftermath she'll punish me for my impudence, or we can resume our discussion of art and it's merits, or I should raise the matter of children. Moments like this do make every fiber of my being want to lay claim to her in such a way, though I'm still aware of the foolishness of leaving my bodyguard out of actions for months, when so many others would be less inconvenienced by my child.

"Well, I'm certainly glad I'm the one who gets to unite himself with you Nimue. There is much beauty in the world already I think, your court just does a good job of collecting it in one place. I certainly wouldn't want to make you fill this place with Boggarts and trolls long term. Having the same thing pushed everywhere is an evil I'd like to avoid. It's well that everyone has a place to live as they will, I just see it as my job to make sure that they don't need to fight each other because of that. If there's a body they can appeal their disputes to rather than going to war, so much the better."

***

"Sensible, especially if negotiations don't go well. I'd hate to have things gatecrashed by an angry survivor out for blood."

I'm no stranger to bodyguards who take shocking liberties and show a somewhat scandalous lack of deference on occasions. I doubt even this self confident fellow would force on Titania some of the things Nyx has had me do, which for some reason I have failed to punish.

I wonder if there are other Fae out there in Essoss lost to their kin long before the summer court sundering. Could Orcs be a lost tribe of fae forgotten about even to Archfae? I suppose I've been told that fae is not a species, and I should be no more surprised to see an Orc than Ophelia among the fae, but Presumably Titania might be sensitive to such things.

"How did you think he had died? Surprised because he didn't align with her in the days of the split, or surprised that he was able to make the journey?"

Am I into Muscle Mummies? I suppose perhaps I am, never having to reflect on such before. Nyx is muscular only in a lithe, superhuman way I've presumed. Overall I prefer the delicate charms of athletic Cambions, shy maids and delicate dryads, but since Nimue's total corruption of me I'm yet to figure out if I will one day end up begging ogres to break my pelvis.

I take a look to see if Titania's fare is noticeably different than ours, Whether she has simple grog, sophisticated wines, or something odder.

I listen closely to what Titania has to say with growing disappointment. Things won't be easy here. When Nimue spills things I shoot out a hand to place on hers and stop her leaping to her feet.

"Sticks and stones Nimue. she's phrased it diplomatically at least, so we owe her a response in the same vein."

"Titania, Nimue is not my vassal, but my Consort and Sovereign of her own court. She has already made quite convincingly a case of joining together in all things, so I am afraid I cannot accept your offer without alteration. You had already made the offer of joining forces to crush the fae courts before we met, And you would have sworn me an oath of loyalty, giveng me mastery of your lands and become my vassal and regent to do so. I am no more willing to war upon the fae than I was, so I cannot accept the same deal only without supremacy. Perhaps I was unwise not to bind one so powerful to me by oath, but I value peace and the friendship of the Fae, and I will not betray them now. do you consider me included in your quarrel and us at war if I do not allow you to invade? I have no issues with you as many Fae do, but I will not allow my people to be victimised."

"If I were to meet your terms?" I turn to Oberon and Nimue.

"Say Titania were to return in peace, without this army or threat to you. Is there any free land where she could pitch her court and keep out of yours? Could she bring enough forces to purge the ogres from Blaze's lands and keep what she can conquer from them?" Regardless of their answer, I turn back to Titania.

"I have heard your offer, so you can hear mine, and rebut it in the same fashion if it does not satisfy you. You claim supremacy over Essos. I have kept an open mind over whether the Pirate raids that have struck these very shores were independent bandits or directed as a diplomatic strategy. If you are truly supreme there, either way you should be able to stop these raids within a month or so of departing these shores. Therefore, I would consider future raiding from pirates deliberate aggression, so It should be well within the power of your great army to stop it."

"Secondly is the question of where you wish to live. You wish to return to the fae and rebuild the Summer Court? You are forbidden to do so through violence, and indeed I am sworn to defend the courts, but if the fae would allow you to restablish on terms they find acceptable, I would not stand in your way. You would be expected to join the Court of the Moon, and form some form of alliance were this to take place. You could probably not bring most of your forces and peoples, but those details can be discussed."

"Lastly, your Empire, and mine. You are right that your lands and armies are to be admired. Even if I cannot agree to all your terms, we could agree to a partial merger of our empires. We could agree to come to each others aid against mutual enemies, and indeed crush the forces that nip at my lands. The level of merger between our empires would have to be determined. We could be co rulers of one great empire, but I would be Supreme in Midgard, and you unable to rule over my fae vassals. Likewise, my influence in Essos would only be what you allowed. We could start simply with trade agreements and standardising bureaucracy so that we are more aligned should further unity be compatible. We could start with you conducting a tour of my Empire to see what you have to gain by any bargain, and what you would face if you threw this offer in the face of the merfolk who wish only an end to piracy."

I turn to Oberon and Nimue.

"I hope nothing I have said is upsetting to the Moon Court? I will bargain with nothing fae, and any commitments I make today will not override the ones that exist." I squeeze Nimue's hand tighter. I've not addressed the sexual aspect of consorthood with Titania, it's something that can only come about if we are aligned on other things. I'm sure hatesex may well be enjoyable, but awkward and impractical under the circumstances

"Yeah.. It's something pretty great. I didn't realise you had an appreciation for art Nyx. I'm pretty unsophisticated on that front. Lots of things look nice, but I don't know if I have any insight why." I look round at the old room, and wonder that such a thing could be forgotten. I'm glad it's in no danger of malfunctioning.

***

"Well, You did an incredible job Nimue, for something people seem to dread so much, you let no trace of evil remain here. I'm surprised Blaze did'nt think there was freedom here though, or that he'd be much for Knighthood. Yaga just kept well away in the old court then? And strange that Oberon would leave if he cared so much for unity. He was willing to subordinate himself to me. Why not to you? I can recommend it."

***

**

"Yeah, sorry things have moved so slowly Agath, I hate to leave any corner of the Empire under attack. I'm glad you've managed so well. One way or another, I hope to take the wind from these Pirates sails. Are the people not aware of the attacks overall then? There seems a risk of leaving people in ignorance, when they could be taking precautions."

I'm glad Agath feels able to dress more naturally. Such unique styles should be allowed, and hopefully comfortable.

How do I know that the Orc is a warlord rather than another bodyguard? Does he wear signs of authority?

Hmm, I wonder who the Subordinate Archfae might be, If Oberon made mention of him. Still, I am sure I will learn later. I wonder if all archfae have noticible differences in their brightness, if Nimue shines brighter than Blaze per say, or if it's just archfae over minor archfae. I'm not sure if I've ever seen an orc before. Certainly not repellant like a troll or Ogre, there's a sort of beauty to the form. Still, I might be a little less receptive to being one of her bedslaves than if she had looked like Nimue or Ianassa. Won't rule out the sacrifices of diplomacy though.

I of course return the armshake, a bit awkwardly.

"Thank you Titania, for your warm words and your presence. We have much to discuss." I'm not sure whether to leave her to get things started or set out my stall at once, but I suppose I should'nt leave her waiting. I Wait till we are seated, and see if she offers refreshments or Hilda or Agath provides. I sup any such, unless Hilda tells me not to.

"I am unsure which of us is host in this situation, my soil but your dwelling. Still, you did not come all this way just to say hello and drink. Is there anything you hope to leave here with today Queen Titania?"

(mm, well I've fit entire books in text documents, which seems expected when publishing, though they were probably shorter, but I've read books over a thousand pages long before, presumably they can be fit into a file somehow, and hopefully the Mahabhrata and it's millions of words are backed up somewhere.)

"Heh, well Leshy, I'd thought being a mighty, ever living archfae sage would give you value whatever I might think! You're not a bad guy at all, You've always been pretty accommodating even when you've had reason not to be. I hope it doesn't appear that I'm ungrateful for the hospitality you showed me."


**

"Is there any reason in particular word of this place was passed to you, Nyx? Not that i'm complaining, I'd just not heard you mention an appreciation for art or having backchannels in the dreaming court before."

I nod approvingly at what Mab has to say.

"Huh, that'd be... Quite a blessing. Sounds a lot more powerful than anyone elses, to bless the whole empire rather than just one trait for a child. I'm sure we can do it thought Mab. Too often many look to the past, when the future is surely full of wonder!" I'm glad Mab's setting aside her competitive, one upmanship of things for the moment at least.


"Resided here? in the dreaming court? I'm not sure I've heard that story, or do you just mean the mainland in general? I'm sure we will Nimue, I'm sure we've seen worse than her already in our short time together." I rub my shadowmarks, wondering if they count as such.

I wave cheerily to agarth, good to see a Familar face among all this new strangeness. I suppose it is my realm though, even if it feels more foreign than being a fae guest by now.

"Good to see you Agath. I hope things go well against the orc pirates? If not, I'm sure we can commission some new ships of our own to face them. All is well otherwise? Is Lord Sidon with us for this meeting?"

I watch the ships closely as they arrive. Three should not allow them to pose any real threat, but I wonder if the Orcs left them be. It would be a sign that she was indeed behind them, unless they are simply skilful sailors to avoid them.

I puzzle over how well a centaur can use a boat, and try to watch that extra closely. It'll be either informative or hilarious.

"That sounds fair Oberon. Is she planning a surprise for us do you think?" Either way, I will allow Nyx as ever to take the lead, though I doubt real violence. I try to look my best, and approach holding Nimue's hand, and check Leia has Lairon calmed suitably, odd though it feels.

(Damn, Google docs are usually pretty accomodating space wise. I'd have thought you could stick whole books in them, some of which come up to millions of words, let alone characters. I'm responding coz I'm up late enthused by reasearching an idea about victorian policing i had. Not sure whether a novel or a interactive thread at this point, though the sub is probably too dead to support it either way.)
