the kingsglaive were made up of the nations most skilled, agile warriors all fighting for the king, but they had no other choice, most of their homes had been destroyed in wars and had left them alone and desperate, forcing them to back themselves into a corner, the citadel, Insomnia, the center of their nation and forced to fight for the king the SAME king who-due to the gods’ hands-couldnt fight for all his people. couldnt fight and win at least

the kingsglaive were forced to enlist, forced in the way that when you’re left with two roads one being a brick wall the other, stable ground but littered with overgrown thorns and snakes, your not going to tear down the wall. not by yourself you cant. you have to take the painful road in that sense. one day you can grow strong, make allies and tear down the wall together but the way back will hurt just as much as it did the first time

the kingsglaive were loyal to their king in the way a dog follows its new owner after watching their mother get shot. the hands that cradle me are soaked in unfathomable blood and its still warm. i can feel my fathers blood seeping into my knees. but they cradle me.

were any member of the kingsglaive to die, an honorable death of course, remembered only by the ones who will fall right after. remembered only by those wearing the same black garbs wielding the same magic that only courses through their viens. magic that isnt theres to have, to even dream about. what is taken will be rightfully returned. its fate. its balance.

nyx served with loyalty in order to repay a debt but when is that debt fulfilled? when hes dead? whens the kings dead? when the last patch of dirt is laid over your father’s grave? he owed the king so little and gave everything. he couldve been king, sitting amongst those of old if it werent for the destruction of his home, the shortcomings of the king, the discrimination of anyone who was born there instead of right here. the gods listened to him, he deserved a seat in that throne.

I used to use Google docs, but the white mode only was really annoying me (tires my eyes), so I swapped to Ellipsus (which I genuinely love and recommend), but it was bothering me a bit that I need wifi in order to use it, so now I switched to LibreOffice Writer, which I do like.

It very much has a Microsoft Word feel, but is open source and you need no accounts to use it. It's local on your device, so no AI can scan it, and no wifi is needed.
