#kalvar

The mountains were beautiful in the late summer evening light, even though the temperature was too warm for comfort. Andren waited for Kalvar to arrive, working his magic to form the trees into the proper shapes for his new mansion. He had already used the roots to cut a rough throne for himself from the stones of the mountain.

"That looks fantastic guys!" Andren said to the plants. The plants quivered in pleasure and continued working. Andren ran his fingers through his short earthy brown hair and smiled. The mansion was coming along quite nicely. A definite improvement over where he had grown up.

"You're doing well for yourself," a voice said from behind Andren.

He wheeled around and saw Kalvar standing there grinning his usual mischievous grin.

"Master Kalvar," Andren exclaimed, running over for a hug.

Kalvar held up a paw to stop him and Andren froze and his shoulders sagged in disappointment.

"I have much to tell you," Kalvar said. "We have many plans to iron out."

Kalvar then went into a long winded speech and Andren sat down on the ground, looking slightly bored.

After Kalvar finished, Andren simply said "I could just use the dark powers I obtained as a kid and destroy this world and slip away with you in all the chaos." He had an evil glint in his eyes now as though he relished the thought of destroying everything in the world. When Andren finished speaking, there was a low growl and then a deafening roar." Well well," Andren said. Sounds like Sandrel agrees with me. He hungers for this world."

Kalvar shivered. He wished for the worlds to be destroyed so that he could start things over, but Andren's thirst for destruction would consume him as well as Kalvar and all of existence if left unchecked.

"How would he like to eat a nature spirit?" Kalvar said, grinning slightly.

Andren smirked and said, "That might quell his hunger a little." Then Andren's expression brightened a little and he said, "speaking of hunger, I'm starving. Did you bring me anything to eat?" His eyes sparkled with a childish light as he sat with his legs crossed, beaming up at Kalvar.

Kalvar looked disgusted and shook his head. "You should have plenty of money. Go into town and buy yourself some food."

"I would," Andren said, "but eating alone just isn't very fun." As he said this, Andren looked very put out. Kalvar was annoyed with this because it was pulling on even his hardened heartstrings.

Sandrel then growled in agreement and Kalvar shuddered. That thing was going to be a problem later if it survived the war that was coming.

The sun was finally setting enough so that shadows covered not only the ground, but were creeping up the other side of the valley.

After Jake and Alex left, the animals all sat in silence for a moment, collecting their thoughts.

After a bit, the Nature spirit came along to check that everything had gone well. "Are that on their way then?" Nature asked.

"They are, my lady," The old bird said, bowing.

"This had to be done," Nature said. "In order for peace to come, Belstreth must be destroyed."

"We understand, my lady," The badger said.

After a moment of silence, the Nature spirit turned to the old bird and said, "On to other matters, have you found a suitable replacement?"

"I have," The bird said. "She will be joining us tomorrow."

"I am pleased to hear it," Nature said.

"Is there any other news," The badger asked.

"Oh,there is indeed," another voice said.

The Nature spirit and animals looked towards the stone where Jake and Alex entered. There was a large cat sitting in front of the stone, grooming itself.

"What do you want?" The old bird asked, tensing up.

"She knows," The cat said, nodding towards the Nature spirit and grinning.

"You know you can't join Belstreth." Nature said, her brow furrowing.

"I know," Kalvar said, waving his paw as if to wave the thought away. "I was referring to the other thing I wanted." Kalvar's grin grew wider as he spoke.

"The answer is still no," Nature said. "Doing that would bring chaos to all the worlds, not just your own. It would destroy everything, not bring back peace."

"I must know though," Kalvar said, starting to look serious.

"Why must you try these experiments?" Nature said.

"I'm bored," Kalvar yelled, a shadow passing over his body, revealing his true form for a fraction of a second. Kalvar gained control again and grinned. He then said, "I apologize. The high council won't help. I have nowhere else to turn. They are all gone. I must have a place to start over."

"Well, you will just have to go back to the high council and petition once more." the badger said, looking on Kalvar with disdain.

Kalvar grinned and said, "Fine, then I shall just take it for myself." Kalvar then transformed into a his true form and slew all of the animals in seconds.

While Kadim was planning out his attack on the Atlantis Spire, he went to visit Mark, to get any information that Mark might have on the facility.

When Kadim got to Mark's office, Mark smiled at Kadim. Kadim couldn't get over just how cat-like that smile was.

Mark gave Kadim all the information he could on the facility, but it wasn't enough to be very helpful to Kadim.

Mark was able to tell Kadim about the experimental weapons that the guards were using in the Atlantis Spire. It was some sort of gun called a deatomizer.

"You wouldn't know what hit you until you notice something is gone," Mark said with a sly smile. "It basically destroys any object it is fired at, on a molecular level. It hits you in the right spot, and you're done for. Anything hit by the deatomizer won't grow back. The atoms of whatever are hit are scattered and destroyed."

Kadim looked at Mark in horror." What would possess them to make such a destructive weapon?"

Mark just smiled and said, "War my friend. War makes people do crazy things. If you have something that destructive, there is no way you could lose a war. It could destroy anything. From solid carbon to soft flesh."

Kadim couldn't believe what he was hearing. Humans were so evil and power hungry. "Are there any other dangers I should be aware of?" Kadim said, trying to move on.

"The guards switch out every three hours," Mark said. "So any guards you incapacitate or kill will be found if you don't time it just right."

"I shouldn't need that much time," Kadim said. "I just need to get to the main reactor and overload it."

Mark laughed and then said, smiling, "I have a better idea. Overload the power systems instead, so that the pressure of the sea will crush the facility. The facilities pressure has to be regulated since there is so much glass. Without the regulation, the water will start crushing the walls. Just make sure you're out of there before the windows start cracking," Mark concluded, smiling. "I would also make sure doors are completely locked so that no one can bother you."

"Good plan," Kadim said. "Then again, I plan for it to be an in and out job."

Varför är det tomt i köttdisken? Svensk media har uppmärksammat bristen på nötkött. En rad olika förklaringar har angivits. SLU pekar på att det ”det föds färre kalvar än tidigare. Det i sin tur beror på att antalet kor har minskat, vilket är en effekt av att antalet nötköttsproducenter blivit färre.” Svensk kött pekar på att antalet kor minskar och det blivit dyrare att vara bonde, att det är…

ughmmmmmwenjfnowehfow

i dont know how i uh feel about shipping keefe and alvar

like while i was reading unraveled i was like, omg these two are so cute together theyre so gay and stuff and they should fuck and i strongly shipped them

and then i saw on the lost cities keeper wiki that uh alvar is 28 and keefe is 16

thats a 12 year age difference and keefe is a minor

idk if its ethical to age alvar down in my head and age keefe up

i feel like alvar is written as if he was younger

but hes still almost in his thirties

so i guess the verdict is that i dont ship them

and idk why i made this post

anyways i guess this is now a psa to keefevar shippers that keefe is 16 and alvar is 28, ship what you want i guess idgaf but keep that in mind, and i dont really want to support pedophilia so im gonna stop shipping them.

i still think theyd be really good friends though!!

~

OH AND I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THIS

elves have an indefinite lifespan. so in like 200 years or so their age literally wont matter.

like they met when alvar was way older than keefe which is why i still think its weird but

i mean if theyd met 100 years into their lifetime...

like they could be not in love right NOW (but keefe has a crush on him like a celebrity crush or smth) and then 100 years later when theyre like living together and stuff THEN alvar has the gay crisis and shit

so idk

SUMMARY (dont quote me on the rest of the post, just this)

i thought that shipping keefevar was weird but when i realized elves have indefinite lifespans i think its much more ethical, especially if they meet later in life like as an AU and it might even be fine in canon if they fell in love later in life even if they knew each other.

if what im saying sounds like im supporting pedophilia or anything else disgusting or bad like that pls let me know
