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.

Imtura, I know you'd hate being blue. But green wasn't an option, so I did my best.

Bonus under the cut: Some alternate versions I wasn't originally gonna post but then thought hey, why not.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Blades of Light and Shadow (Visual Novel) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence Relationships: Aerin Valleros/ Valax Characters: Valax, Aerin Valleros Additional Tags: shadestalker, monster killing equals falling in love if you do it right, they're not really enemies to lovers, but they're not friends either when Aerin flees his hateful daddy to be at her side, so make of that what you will, when he has no where else to go... Series: Part 4 of Blades of Light and Shadow Summary:

He reached out, taking her hand in both of his. She tensed, then stilled. “I’m staying,” he said, and when her eyes flicked up, startled, he repeated it, “I’m staying. Whatever you are, whatever hunts you, I’m not letting you face it alone.”

She stared at him for a long moment, as if trying to decode some private cypher in his face.

“Why?” she asked, voice barely above a whisper.

He gave the only answer that mattered. “Because I chose to.”

She let out a long, shaky breath, a smile breaking through the mask of fatigue and fear. “That’s dangerous. You know that, don’t you?”

(From left to right: Aerin, Imtura, Mal, Nia, Tyril, and Valax)

Some of these did prove to be easier than others, but thankfully the right kind of themes exist haha.

As an alternate for Imtura, if you remove the fur collar, you can then use a dark red hair piece instead. But I chose to go with the Tiefling hair peace primarily because of the collar.

As usual some of the hand colours would need to be changed to match with the head piece, in this case Imtura, Mal, and Nia. And then for Valax change to hands that match with the hair colour as her hands are that bit more purple.

These are all existing Lego pieces and can actually be made!

There were a few videos I wanted to include but couldn’t find so I’m kinda sad about that but hope this is still funny :)

Oooooh, I have the screenshots of what happens if Aerin never came back during Book 2 and they are good!

Here's what happens once the party you actually brought with you is all accounted for (variation with owlbear cub here):

And after everyone's well deserved breakdown:

And from here, you have a few options:

Rude

Rude and funny

And the most surprising of all (don't mind the background drift on this playthrough):

My personal thoughts:

It's super interesting that MC introduces Aerin as the heir to Morella, not the guy who summoned the Dreadlord.

I find it so funny that even after months hanging out in the Shadow Realm together, no one ever once mentioned Aerin to Valax. Not even to talk shit.

Aerin, please never prove your awful father right again! At least it took Aerin a couple months to get mauled? Unless there's still a time difference between Realms...

Cause of death is also interesting to me. No offense meant, but hiding is kind of one of Aerin's best things.
