Me neither. Anyway, enjoy all the Blades LIs as children (bless you, picrew!)

Look, Valax was never a child! Her in her 'youth' is literally identical to how she looks today. But I didn't want to leave her out, so she got a different picrew.

How long do you think the gang had between the end of book one and the start of book two? After they defeated the Dreadlord but before Valax comes for the realm walker. I’ve been pondering this and I don’t think it could have been very long, a couple of weeks, a month tops.

I have some thoughts that may or may not be percolating for a fic that will most certainly hurt my own feelings.

Part two of the blades illustrated series! Part one and three here <3

I used a random screenshot of this scene for the background but when I looked back at which line I’d used I had to make some minor edits 💕
