#jester lure

I really enjoyed the first two books and I suggested they be added to the collection of the library I work at.

My favorite part of the books is how the plot progression kinda reminds of DND encounters (emotional bonding with the party, ATTACK!, bonding, ATTACK!, and so forth, until the major problem gets wrapped up).

Hello! 8D Its been a while since anybody's asked me about A Fool's Fables- I would be happy to answer!

The current title is A Lost Fool's Paradise, but it might be reworded. XD

So, the third book takes place not too long after the second and the major plot involves a shipwreck that strands Lure and the others on an island- including Coffcord and the Princess! But temptation comes in many forms, and what seems to be their key to survival might start sapping away more than what they expect. Or what they can remember...

I don't want to spoil too much though. XD I've still been working on it, just at a much slower pace! I might go ahead and just upload the first chapter online if it takes much longer! And thank you so much! 8D That's wonderful of you, and hopefully they do so!

Welcome Jester Vivianne!

Spoilers for A Fools Endeavor by @mable-stitchpunk ! ! !

.

.

.

.

.

Things go mostly the same as the book, the queen has Lure, then dies in childbirth with Vivianne.

Elia knows the truth and tells Lure, they find a way to hide the baby girl while the king is distracted with greif.

.

Lure does prince stuff and studying but makes sure to make time for Vivianne when he can, playing with her and teaching her things.

.

.

When the kingdom is attacked Lure hides her in the chest again.

The guards grab him and leave, not caring to look for a jester once they have the prince.

.

.

The next day the castle is empty so she goes to coffcords house, the only place she knows outside the castle.

.

She packs her little backpack and declares shes going to rescue the Prince.

.

Coffcord's like 'yeah sure you are, basalm go keep an eye on her please'.

He expects them to walk around the neighborhood for a bit them come back.

Unfortunately Basalm MASSIVELY misinterpets 'go keep an eye on her' and they set off on the journey to Olalylark.

.

.

On the way they find the camp and Viviannes like !! We made it to Olaylark!

And Basalm has to be like 'uhhh not quite'

.

They pick up Morrick, who is utterly confused so as to why this little girl and a guy she doesnt know are trying to rescue the kidnapped Prince.

Baslam's like 'no its ok Coffcord said we could'

And Morricks like 'damn, who am I to argue with the head alchemist I guess' and goes with them.

.

Various shenanagins of Vivianne walking directly into danger and the two adults desperately trying to save this 8 yr old girl from immenant death every five minutes.

.

Morrick and Basalm are woefully unprepared to be babysitters😆

.

Yves wondering why two grown men in the middle of the woods are taking orders from a miniature clown

.

Anyway they get to Olaylark and Lure is NOT the sweet older brother figure Vivianne has been describing, but an absolute *nuisance* and is litterally gagged in the middle of the courtroom and still making a mess.

.

Uhhhhh they save him

.

Hes ecstatic to see Vivianne is safe and grateful they rescued him but wHAT MADE YOU THINK IT WAS OK TO BRING A CHILD ALL THEY WAY TO OLAYLARK WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU FOUGHT SNAKES AND ALMOST DROWNED MULTIPLE TIMES??!?!?!!?

.

Morrick has 0 tollerance for his bullshit and they immediately start their old married couples bickering.

.

The journey back is eventful and it is very easy to see where Vivianne gets her chaotic whirlwind nature from.

.

.

They make it back home and Cofcord almost kills them all himself.

So Fool's Endeavor art!

Mostly inspired by a recent ask. I do plan to make colored refs here soon so these designs are exactly set in stone but i just needed to draw this first.

Has she talked about this with… anyone??? Did she think Lure was dead? DID THEY TELL HER THEY KILLED HIM?!?! Please, I’m dying here.

She heard, but not enough to make sense of what was happening beyond yelling and fighting.

She was huddled up in a chest in the corner of her room, frightened and panicked. She couldn't tell what was going on, but likely feared the worst. And then just got whisked away like an oversized vase, never to be seen again until she was.

They didn't tell her. That is, I dare say nobody even spoke to her beyond simple commands until she was thrust into the arms of a temporary nurse in Olaylark. Though I doubt a frightened child would feel very talkative anyways. She's a tough little girl, but she hadn't gone through anything like that before. She probably wouldn't go quietly a second time, however.
