X - To Fall Apart

Garreg Mach Town - 16 Lone Moon, 733 AU

A car skidded to a halt at the entrance of the alley as the thugs scattered. The passenger side door opened and Edelgard flew out of the vehicle, eyes wide. She sprinted towards both Byleth and Claude and scanned the area around them.

“What the hell happened?” she asked, out of breath as she looked between Byleth and Claude.

Byleth sighed deeply and rubbed at her jaw which was still aching. “I believe we were just jumped,” she muttered dryly.

Claude forced a laugh. “How I love the racism that permeates this country.”

Edelgard folded her arms as she assessed the two of them. “Racism?”

Claude leaned against the side of one of the buildings. He closed his eyes and raised his hands to make air quotes. “Almyran shithead,” he recalled.

Byleth frowned. She thought about what the man had said to her, but the words made her deeply uncomfortable, especially considering what she had learned from Seteth earlier that evening. She turned to study Claude again.

“You hit your head. Are you alright?”

Byleth raised a hand to touch Claude’s face and his eyes snapped open. He jerked back a bit out of reflex and Byleth froze, her hand hanging stupidly between them. There was a spark of something warm in Claude’s eyes before they iced over with a forced indifference.

“We don’t need two people with concussions,” Edelgard cut in, ignoring the strange tension between her former TA and her friend. “Let’s get you guys to the hospital and then to the police to report the incident.”

“No,” Claude said sharply. “We’re not reporting it.”

“What?” Byleth and Edelgard demanded together.

“Claude,” Byleth continued. “Maybe you’ve forgotten, but those men were carrying knives. They would have killed both of us.” She touched the red line on her throat. The blade hadn’t broken skin, but it easily could have.

Claude set his jaw. “I’ll have my head checked,” he conceded, “but, if we report this, they’ll only go after more Almyrans. It will piss them off and they’ll take it out on more innocent people. It’s better to just let it happen.”

“He has a point,” Hubert replied.

Byleth’s head snapped towards Edelgard and saw that Hubert had appeared from the vehicle as well, presumably from the driver’s side. It was mildly disconcerting that she hadn’t even heard him approach.

Claude nodded and then winced, touching his temple. “I’m going to need a nap,” he muttered.

Byleth frowned. “That’s never a good thing after a head injury.”

Edelgard folded her arms. “Let’s go then. Hubert will drive. You two can sit in the back and, Byleth, do not let him fall asleep.”

Garreg Mach University Hospital - 17 Lone Moon, 733 AU

Despite his arguments, Byleth waited with Claude in the hospital. At around one-thirty in the morning, a doctor finally came by, prescribing him some mild painkillers and doing a last check of his head and his still injured arm. She had then dismissed them, saying Claude was thankfully not concussed, but she told Byleth to make sure that he didn’t head home alone just in case.

They walked through the hospital in silence together towards the front door. Byleth had called Leonie, much to Claude’s frustration, and his roommate was on the way to the hospital to pick him up. She wasn’t exactly sure how she was going to get home, but it wasn’t too far a walk from the hospital to a bus line.

As they exited the entrance of the hospital, both of their phones chimed with email notifications. Claude’s brow furrowed as he pulled out his phone first. Byleth watched his face as he scanned the email and noticed how it dropped, disappointed.

“I guess that’s that then,” he mumbled.

He turned his phone to her and Byleth scanned the email from Seteth. It detailed how the National Museum and University had decided to end the dig. Apparently they were being allowed one more day to wrap up and Seteth was turning it into a small send-off party. In a week, the entire team would gather on the dig site to share drinks and thanks for everyone involved before the project would be officially ended.

Byleth sighed. “I was expecting this,” she admitted.

Claude slid his phone away and shrugged. “I’m not surprised,” he agreed. “It’s just frustrating. There’s so much history that’s hidden just under our fingertips and it’s getting buried all over again. Who knows how long it will be until there’s another expedition approved.”

Byleth smiled at Claude’s passion. “You’re sure you’re not interested in the archaeology program after graduation, right?” she teased, trying to lighten the mood.

Claude’s lips twitched. “I’ve considered it,” he said.

Byleth almost laughed until she noted the seriousness on his face. He wasn’t joking. “You’re serious?” she questioned, almost disbelieving.

Claude’s posture stiffened and his tone turned almost defensive. “Is that a bad thing?”

Byleth twisted a hand in the hem of her sweater. “I didn’t realize that,” she trailed off.

Claude turned to face her, green eyes glittering under the harsh fluorescent lights. “That I could have that choice?”

Byleth swallowed. “You’re a prince,” she said quietly. “I assumed,” she corrected, “you had a duty set out before you.” Claude shifted closer to her. The glint in his eyes changed from curiosity to something deeper and more intense. “Is that why you ran away from me?”

Byleth’s breath caught. This conversation had veered drastically into territory she hadn’t expected. Claude’s breathless confession from Ignatz’s birthday echoed through her mind and Seteth’s explanation doused all of her senses in icy cold water.

She stepped away from Claude.

Mild irritation flashed on his expression. “What are you afraid of, Byleth?”

They were bathed in warm yellow light from the headlights of a beat-up truck before she could respond. Byleth lifted a hand to block the light as the driver jumped out. Leonie jogged towards them, wearing a GMU Archery hoodie and grey sweatpants.

“Hey!” she called. “Are you guys alright?”

Claude stepped further away from Byleth and rubbed his temple. “All good. I have a thick skull after all.” Leonie crossed her arms and glanced at Byleth. “Do you have a ride coming too?”

Byleth shook her head. “My bus is just down the street. I’ll be fine.”

Leonie snorted. “Like hell. I’m guessing you’re planning on being alone at your apartment too?”

“I was,” Byleth conceded after a pause.

“No way,” Leonie said, shaking her head. “Both of you get in the truck. Byleth, you’re welcome to come hang out at Golden Deer House. I don’t think any of us will be getting much sleep tonight. Cyril’s over too and Hilda and Lorenz have headed to Fhirdiad.”

Byleth glanced at Claude, silently asking if he was okay with it. The irritation he had displayed earlier was gone, replaced with something softer as he nodded subtly. Byleth nodded overtly to Leonie and the trio made their way to the truck.

“What happened to you guys anyway?” Leonie asked as she turned her key in the ignition.

Byleth and Claude exchanged a look before Claude replied. “Got hit by a cyclist. Cracked the old noggin against a building.” Byleth pressed her lips together in distaste, but her disapproval went unnoticed in the dark of the night. Low tinny music filtered from the car’s speakers, but no one moved to turn it up or down as they sat in silence for the short drive through the university suburbs until they reached the Golden Deer house.

Leonie led the way inside the house, kicking off her shoes and hanging her keys on a hook by the door. Byleth hesitated by the door and Claude glanced at her as he awkwardly removed his shoes thanks to his sling.

“By?”

She inhaled and stepped inside, shaking her head. “I’m okay,” she mumbled. “Today has just been a lot.”

She could hear chatter from the living room of the house that sounded like Leonie and Lysithea and someone else. Claude led her into the living room and she saw Raphael lounging on the floor by an armchair, Lysithea and a boy she didn’t know huddled on the couch. Raph sat up when he saw Byleth and Claude enter.

“Hey Claude, and it’s Byleth, right?” he called in his booming voice.

Byleth nodded and offered Raphael a small smile. Before she could greet him back, Lysithea let out a cry of protest as the boy she was with snatched her phone and shoved it away from them.

“You’re not making this better, Lysithea,” he said calmly. He had a mild Almyran accent which almost caught Byleth off-guard, but she concealed her surprise.

Lysithea frowned and leaned her head against his shoulder. “I know, I just hate not knowing what’s happening.”

Leonie coughed and looked between Byleth and the Almyran boy. “This is Cyril, Byleth. And Cyril, this is Byleth, the archaeology TA.”

Cyril smiled at her grimly and Byleth nodded in greeting. Claude moved past Byleth and sank onto the loveseat couch. He grabbed the remote for the TV and clicked it on, pulling up a channel that was playing a stupid kids movie.

“Let’s not think about horrible things,” he suggested.

Leonie sat in the armchair and Raphael leaned against the arm of it as they focused on the TV and Lysithea and Cyril both seemed to calm at the idea, settling in to watch the film. Claude glanced at Byleth where she stood at the entrance to the room and then motioned for her to sit next to him on the couch.

Byleth hesitantly took a seat on the small sofa. Claude didn’t seem interested in making it weird at all so she slowly relaxed as the movie played in the background, effectively distracting them. Sometime later, when her eyelids were getting heavy and the movie was nothing but static in the background, Byleth felt Claude’s arm slip around her as they curled into each other.

She let her discomfort and uncertainty drift away as she leaned against him, drinking in his warmth. Claude’s head pressed against hers and Byleth let her eyes close.

It didn’t feel wrong anymore.

Old Monastery Excavation Site, Garreg Mach University - 25 Lone Moon, 733 AU

Byleth wasn’t the first person to arrive on-site, but she was still early. There were lots of hugs and handshakes being exchanged as colleagues from the National Museum and the University were saying their farewells. Someone had opened a bottle of champagne, despite the fact that it was barely afternoon and Byleth found herself sipping from a glass as she flipped through an artifact catalogue.

“It’s too bad that this is how it ends,” Dimitri said, interrupting her thought process.

Byleth placed the catalogue down and smiled at him. “It’s unfortunate,” she agreed. “But, without funding and staff, there isn’t much we can do.” Dimitri sighed. “I wish I would have known about this sooner. Perhaps some of my family’s funds could have helped keep us open.” Byleth raised an eyebrow. “Fund the trip personally? Seteth would never let you do that, Dimitri.”

The blonde smiled and sipped his own champagne. “No, he wouldn’t, but it would have been nice to try.”

Dimitri looked tired, as he often did, and Byleth wracked her brain for something that she could say to him. She was saved from her thoughts when Claude and Edelgard approached them, Edelgard’s arm linked through Claude’s good arm. He had finally gotten his sling removed, but his left arm was still in a slim cast.

“There you are, Dimitri,” Edelgard said as she approached. “We were going to get a picture of the undergrad team together.”

Claude glanced at Byleth. “Maybe you could take it, Teach?”

Byleth nodded. “I’d be honoured to.”

The four of them quickly made their way to where the rest of the team was waiting and Byleth had them all squeeze into frame as she snapped a few photos on Ignatz’s camera and then Edelgard’s phone. She was just checking over the photos on Edelgard’s phone to make sure no one had blinked when a figure in the back of the frame caught her attention.

It was a security guard wearing the usual uniform, but Byleth didn’t recognize him. She had recognized most of the guards by this point in the dig, but this one was unfamiliar to her. She didn’t have long to ponder it as Edelgard quickly took back her phone, thanking Byleth for the photos.

Her attention was then drawn to the tapping of something against glass. Seteth was standing at the entrance of the dig, tapping a pen against a half-full glass of champagne. Slowly the chatter around them died to nothing as he gained the attention of the room.

“This is not exactly the send-off I had planned when I first received my approval for this project,” he began. “But, I do still have a few things to say regardless of this. I must first extend thanks to the Fhirdiad National Museum of Unification for funding and green-lighting this project and for all our colleagues from the museum who have been a part of the expedition. And of course, thanks also go to Garreg Mach University and my fellow academics in the archaeology department.” Seteth’s gaze landed on Byleth and he smiled. “To my post-grads, Harriet and James, I thank you for putting up with my chaotic planning of this trip for the last couple of years. To Byleth, who stepped up as a TA for me last semester so I could iron out the logistics and who was my administrator for the undergraduate program. And, of course, to our undergraduates who stepped up to learn and assist exactly as they were needed.”

Byleth lifted her own glass. “And to Seteth! Who put in so much work to get us here and pulled so many strings that the project never would have gotten off the pages of a notebook without you!”

Seteth’s smile broadened as he lifted his glass in her direction. “To all of us and the success we had in a short time.”

Cheers erupted across the room and glasses tapped together as people toasted to the end of the project. Byleth drained her glass and it was almost immediately replaced with a full one by a winking Harriet. Byleth rolled her eyes, but sipped again from the glass. The champagne was definitely cheap, but it still did the job in giving a pleasant buzz to her system as it was consumed.

More photos were taken and a few more people gave speeches to celebrate the end of the dig. Some of the equipment began to get dismantled, but most people were still just talking and theorizing about all of the things that they hadn’t been able to get to during the dig. Byleth was chatting with James and a historian from the National Museum when a hand on her elbow stole her attention.

Claude stood just behind her, wearing a small smile. Byleth excused herself from the conversation and turned her full attention to Claude. He slid a hand to her back and guided her further away from other people until it was just the two of them.

“How are you doing?” he asked.

Byleth shrugged. “Mourning the loss of an interesting project. Dreading finding a new information source for my thesis. Normal things, you know.”

Claude pursed his lips and his hand dropped away from her back. “Why are you being weird?”

Byleth blinked. “Weird?”

Claude glanced towards the front part of the excavation site where Seteth was chatting with Ignatz and a few university faculty. “You’ve been acting strange since you spoke with Seteth last week. I didn’t push it then, but, Byleth, it’s been more obvious recently.”

She crossed her arms. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Hurt flashed across Claude’s face. “Every time with you. Every time we take one step forward it’s followed by six steps back. I don’t know what to say, Byleth.” Her throat tightened. “What are you saying?”

Claude ran his good hand through his hair. “I think I’ve been pretty clear with how I feel about you,” he began and Byleth’s face flushed. “If you would say the word, I would give you the world, Byleth.”

She bit her lip. “Claude,” she whispered. Her chest constricted and she wanted to say something kind or to touch him gently like she had the night they had fallen asleep in the living room. He shut his eyes and sighed. “I don’t know what you want from me or what I’m supposed to do anymore, By.” He stepped back from her and Byleth realized how closely they had been standing with a jolt. “If you figure it out, let me know, okay?”

He started to walk away from her and Byleth couldn’t make herself move. Her eyes followed him for a moment before they wandered until they landed on the security guard she didn’t recognize. The man was studying one of the statues at the edge of the main room and Byleth instinctively walked towards him.

“It’s a statue of one of the ancient Saints,” she said when she was close enough.

The man turned to her. His expression stayed perfectly neutral and calm, but there was something about his face that seemed vaguely familiar. “Is it?” he questioned.

Byleth nodded. “Haven’t you been on-site before?”

He shook his head. “Filling in for a friend who was sick today.”

She hummed faintly as she looked at the statue. “It’s a shame it’s ending like it is.”

“I suppose it is,” the security guard agreed.

Ice crawled through her veins unexpectedly and she stepped away, glancing over her shoulder. Dimitri was standing nearby, talking to a faculty member of the university.

“Excuse me,” she said politely and then walked away, headed in Dimitri’s direction.

Dimitri glanced up as she approached and smiled. He opened his mouth to say something, but then his expression slackened with what looked like terror. Byleth didn’t get a chance to so much as move before he lunged forward, tackling her around the middle. They hit the ground behind a supply crate just as the pop of gunfire filled the air.

Someone screamed and chaos broke loose.

Goneril Territory - 24 Great Tree Moon, 7 AU

The encampment was bustling. Soldiers and battalions were moving around in what was almost complete chaos. Byleth herself was directing the Knights of Seiros to where they would be staying. They were one of the last groups to arrive since they had wanted to ensure the monastery’s safety for as long as possible before making the trek to Goneril territory.

Seteth remained at the monastery since Byleth was still angry with him. She and Dimitri had simply told Seteth that they had more business in Sreng, which was a clear lie, but her advisor had either bought the story or didn’t want to argue further. Ignatz had arrived a day prior, but without Flayn, as Byleth had asked him to tell her to visit her father without explaining everything fully.

“Byleth!” a familiar loud voice called.

Byleth spun and saw the glinting armour and elegant long hair of Ferdinand. Dorothea was at his side, wearing modified Warlock’s robes and looking just as beautiful as ever. Byleth quickly pushed her way towards her former students and smiled.

“You came!” she said.

Dorothea pulled her into a hug and then Ferdinand bowed respectfully.

“Of course,” Dorothea agreed. “You asked for allies and who are we to argue with that.”

“Yes,” Ferdinand agreed. “It was easy enough to find someone to watch the boys so that we could be here. We have brought our finest Aegir soldiers to fight in your service.”

Byleth nodded. “Thank you.”

“We’ll let you go,” Dorothea said. “You’ve got to be bouncing off the walls busy. We can make ourselves useful elsewhere.”

“Mercedes was setting up the infirmary if you wanted to help her, Ferdinand, and I know Annette and Lysithea were coordinating the magic battalions if you wanted to step in there, Dorothea.”

“Of course, Your Grace,” Ferdinand agreed. With another bow, the Duke and Duchess disappeared into the throngs of people.

They were quickly replaced by Felix, who fell into step with Byleth as she walked to the central command tent.

“Caspar and Bernadetta arrived a few hours ago as well,” he reported.

Byleth shook her head. “And Leonie’s here and so is Raphael.” She laughed. “When I requested help, I hadn’t imagined they would all jump at the chance to come fight.” She glanced at Felix. “You all have families now. We would have understood.”

Felix shook his head. “Dimitri is our King and you are the leader of the Church. None of us will ever forget that or what you two have sacrificed for us over the last 12 years.”

Byleth nodded to her friend. “Thank you, Felix.”

Felix nodded and pulled aside the door of the Command tent for her. She stepped inside and he followed her in. Holst Goneril was inside, discussing with Claude as they moved pieces across a map. Dimitri was absent, but Areadbhar was on a weapon rack in the tent which meant that he wasn’t far away. Felix stepped forward and said something to Holst which caused the former Alliance general to nod and add a few more pieces to their army on the map.

Claude looked up at Byleth as she approached. “Ferdinand and Dorothea?”

She nodded. “And Caspar and Bernie apparently.”

Claude shook his head, looking mystified. “Lorenz and Marianne arrive today as well.”

Holst laughed. “Look at you all. My sister was right when she said you guys had the most loyal class at the Academy all those years ago.”

Felix crossed his arms and adjusted one of Holst’s pieces which caused the Goneril noble to frown before nodding and accepting the move. “That’s all Byleth,” he admitted gruffly. “They wouldn’t have rallied around anyone else.”

“We’re all proud to be here,” a new voice said. Byleth turned and saw Leonie and Alois standing just inside the tent.

Byleth smiled and moved to hug both of them, cautious of Alois’s clunky armour. “And we are proud to have you all.”

The tent entrance behind Claude and Holst billowed and Dimitri entered, flanked by Sylvain and Ingrid. Alois clapped a hand on Byleth’s shoulder and dipped his head in respect to the newly arrived nobles.

“The Knights are ready when you have our orders,” he said confidently.

Byleth nodded to him and Alois quickly left, leaving the tent to the group of former students. She turned to her husband.

“Do we have a final tally?”

Dimitri nodded. “We have the Duscur Cavalry, Dominic Mages, Galatea Pegasus Troops, Fraldarius Soldiers, Gautier Soldiers, and the Blue Lion Knights from the Kingdom. I believe we also have the Varley and Bergliez troops in addition to the Aegir Knights. Hilda said she would round up the final tally of Alliance forces once Marianne and Lorenz arrived.”

“Add in the Sauin troops and my mercenary band,” Leonie advised Claude who was in the middle of rearranging some pieces on the map.

Ingrid and Felix set about helping him and Byleth watched the size of her army grow. Wearing her armour and standing in a command tent, she felt years younger and stronger than she had in a long time.

“And Brigid,” Byleth added after a moment. “Ashe and Petra arrived yesterday.”

“Shall I take a scouting party out?” Ingrid asked, turning away from the map.

Dimitri nodded. “Yes. The Victor Troops are excellent scouts if Ignatz is to be believed so take them with you on the ground.”

Claude and Leonie both affirmed the capabilities of Ignatz’s scouts and Ingrid bowed briefly to Byleth, Dimitri, and Claude before she lightly kissed Sylvain and disappeared from the tent. Holst studied the map for a moment longer before he turned to Sylvain.

“Let’s go coordinate wyvern formations with the Almyrans, shall we?”

Sylvain nodded and beckoned to Felix. “You like bossing people around, Felix, you may as well come with us.”

The three of them disappeared from the tent, leaving just Leonie, Claude, Byleth and Dimitri. Claude hummed under his breath as he watched Duke Fraldarius, Margrave Gautier and Duke Goneril leave.

“Then there were four,” he mused.

Leonie snorted a laugh. “Make it three. I’m going to go get my men settled. Maybe Mercedes could use some more help at the infirmary too.” She nodded. “Your Majesties.”

As the tent flap waved with her departure, Dimitri let out a weary sigh.

“I know we should be glad for their presence, but I can’t help but feel we’re leading them all into danger.”

“That’s natural,” Claude agreed. “This enemy is elusive. Lysithea and Linhardt are two of the brightest people I’ve ever worked with and it still took us a considerable amount of time to decipher Hubert’s notes.”

Byleth slid her hand into Dimitri’s and squeezed it reassuringly. “Claude,” she began and the Almyran King looked up at her. “Thank you for not letting me do this alone.”

Claude’s gaze skimmed between Dimitri and Byleth as he absorbed her words. He smiled faintly. “You two are a team,” he acknowledged. “You have equal stakes in this fight.”

“And thank you,” Dimitri continued, “for doing this at all. You brought us the knowledge we needed and you cracked it and you’re contributing your own countrymen to this fight despite the fact that you don’t need to.”

Claude shook his head. “We have a stake in this too. It’s like Felix said. We rally behind Teach and you and the new Fódlan you’ve created.” He held out a hand for Dimitri to shake. “You saved my ass in Derdriu. This is me repaying the favour.”

The two kings shook hands and Byleth squeezed Dimitri’s hand again. Claude dropped the grip and glanced back at the map. The formations seemed mostly outlined, leaving room for the full battle strategy to be envisioned.

“I’ll leave this in your capable hands, Teach.”

Byleth tensed. “Claude, these are your soldiers too.”

He tipped his head to the side, considering her with a calculating glint in his green eyes. “Maybe,” he conceded, “but, they’re your army.”

Shambhala - 27 Great Tree Moon, 7 AU

The battle for Shambhala was the craziest battle Byleth had ever led. The tight underground space led to struggles for mounted units, and the massive flashing lights threw off archers and mages. The base was designed to be defensible and unfriendly to invaders, but they pushed through.

The Almyran troops broke the line first, taking out a massive mechanical beast that had been hurling javelins at ranged units. The Aegir troops followed, using their speed to overwhelm enemy archers. The Duscur Cavalry followed them, striking heavily at magic users from close range.

Byleth slashed and cut a path with her sword so viciously she felt ten years younger. Something about the chaos of the fight had revived something inside of her that had been lying dormant for the 7 years since the war had ended. She fought like a machine, cutting down anyone who came too close and striking out with her magic against those who wouldn’t come near her.

She helped Annette and Felix topple another large mech and assisted Bernie in incapacitating a turret that shot lightning. She cleared paths for Ashe and Petra to move their nimble Order of the Blue Sun through tight corridors. She laid her glowing hands on Raphael to keep him on his feet and she blasted lightning of her own at mages who targeted Alois and the other knights.

Claude’s wyvern screeched above her head as he fired arrows of pure energy from Failnaught to fell enemies around them. Dimitri roared as he sliced with Areadbhar at her side. Battle cries echoed through the strange streets of the underground base.

Ashe yelled for Byleth’s attention as he worked open the door to the inner sanctum. Byleth fought off the War Master who had tried to attack him while he worked. As soon as he had the door open, he ripped his silver bow from his back and fired three shots in quick succession. Claude’s wyvern landed next to them and Dimitri reappeared from the throng of fighters.

“Go,” Ashe said, gesturing to the door. “We’ll hold the outside. You take out the sanctum.”

Byleth and Dimitri exchanged a look and she glanced at Claude. “You’re coming with us,” she insisted. “You have a stake in this too.”

Claude nodded and leapt from his large beast. He patted the creature’s neck. “Ashe, she’ll fight with you since she’s too big for this door.” He nodded to Dimitri and Byleth. “Let’s go.”

Shambhala Inner Sanctum - 27 Great Tree Moon, 7 AU

The inner sanctum was populated by only a few mages who fell to Claude’s arrows and Byleth’s magic and Dimitri’s lance. Energy was rippling through Byleth and she felt like she could feel every inch of movement around the room from Dimitri’s breaths to Claude’s twitching fingers on his bow.

The chamber was dimly lit with flickering blue lights like the rest of the city. Claude stepped closer to her and Dimitri and kept his voice low.

“There has to be something more here,” he hissed.

Dimitri’s hand tightened on his lance. “This isn’t it,” he agreed.

Byleth set both her hands aglow and pressed one against each King, giving them a small reprieve of healing. Her head pounded as she did so and she shook it off, frowning. Before any of them could move, there was a piercing shriek as the earth around them erupted, throwing them all backwards.

Byleth landed half on top of Dimitri as the dark magic crackled across both of them. It burned as it seared over her skin and she screamed out before she could stop herself. Dimitri grunted heavily beneath her, but he recovered faster and pulled them both to their feet.

The ground had exploded violently upwards, and, through the flickering lights and settling dust, Byleth couldn’t see Claude. Chunks of the ceiling had also been dislodged, sealing her and Dimitri in the deeper half of the sanctum. She could only hope that Claude was clear on the other side, not crushed beneath the rock.

“Fell Star,” a grizzled voice called from ahead of her.

Byleth spun, clenching her hands on the Sublime Sword of the Creator. Standing at the top of a dais that had previously been concealed in shadow was the man who had saved Kronya in the chapel outskirts and the man who had knocked her off the cliff at the start of the war.

Dimitri tensed next to her, obviously also recognizing the man.

“Or should I call you Sothis?” the man prodded.

Byleth snapped the sword against the ground with a loud snap. “You’re Thales,” she guessed. Hubert had mentioned the leader of the underground faction by name a few times in his notes. “You were impersonating Arundel. I killed Arundel.”

Thales’s eyes narrowed viciously. “You thought you killed him,” he corrected. “It turns out that illusions work in the caster’s favour when the target has other priorities.” His gaze slid from Byleth to Dimitri and he smiled wickedly. “The Goddess Reborn and her Champion of Beasts,” he mused.

“Shambhala has fallen. We will take the stronghold today,” Byleth said firmly, stepping closer to Thales, her blade raised.

“Solon had the right idea with you, I think. The wrong execution, but the right idea,” Thales sneered.

Before Byleth or Dimitri could move, Thales snapped his fingers and fire ignited in Byleth’s veins. She crumpled immediately, screaming at the top of her lungs as pain rocketed through her more intensely than any pain she’d ever felt before. She writhed on the ground and Dimitri knelt next to her, looking utterly distraught.

Finally, the pain stole her voice away completely and Byleth could feel the life sapping out of her body. The burn of the Crest Stone in her chest intensified as it consumed her mortality with a brutal passion, emblazoned by whatever Thales had just done to her.

“Stop!” Dimitri howled.

Byleth, weakly, tried to grab for him, but Dimitri was strongest when he was protective and raging. There was a dull crash behind them as someone pounded against the rocks. Thales laughed and continued to focus his magic on draining Byleth’s life away.

“Poor little goddess wasn’t built to survive,” he snarled.

Dimitri hurled himself forward, slashing viciously with Areadbhar and Thales dropped his spell on Byleth to call a shield to protect himself. Dimitri harried him with blows, yelling in rage and pain. Byleth gasped for air as she tried to regain some of her strength, but it felt like someone had stolen the life right out of her. She rolled to her side and propped herself up on her hands and knees, trying to rise.

Her eyes landed on Dimitri as her love pounded at Thales’s shield. Byleth watched in horror as Thales’s left hand slid back from the shield that was maintained by his right. As Dimitri reared back for another ferocious strike, Thales struck, planting a hand against the king’s chest. Red light exploded between them and Dimitri was sent flying.

“NO!” Byleth screamed. Her throat was raw and it burned when she cried out.

Dimitri did not rise from the ground.

“No,” she murmured faintly. Only half-risen, she heard Thales’s footsteps approach her.

A cold hand grasped her jaw and lifted her up so that she was practically dangling in his grip. He wrenched her face towards him so she stared into his dark eyes. He was smiling.

“Goodbye Fell Star,” he said simply.

Byleth grabbed the front of his robes and closed her eyes. Sothis’s radiant power, the power that had been suppressed by the Crest Stone inside of her since their merging, exploded out of Byleth, concentrating in a spear of light that burst from her palm, burying itself in Thales’s chest. The mage’s face slackened and his hand dropped away. The nerves in Byleth’s hands burned from the excess energy and Thales’s body smelt like burnt flesh.

She dropped him and staggered on her feet. She nearly collapsed immediately and her vision went completely black for half a second before she regained her balance. Power hummed inside of her as her veins literally glowed with divine light. She stood, shakily, staring down at the leader of Those Who Slither in the Dark and her light faded, leaving her lightheaded and exhausted.

Sheer, unadulterated terror raced through her chest as an icy fist closed on her unbeating heart.

“Dimitri,” she breathed.

Wobbling, she sprinted to his side and pulled him into her lap. There was a boom behind her as the stone slab separating them from the rest of the underground city shattered. Byleth ignored it as she ran her hands over Dimitri’s face and neck and chest.

“Dimitri, look at me,” she whimpered. Her vision blurred with tears.

Dimitri inhaled slowly and raggedly. His eye opened and he noticed she was holding him. “By...leth...” he wheezed slowly.

“You’re going to be okay,” she said fiercely. She called to the sacred power within her and tried to heal, but there was nothing. The act of trying to summon the magic caused her vision to darken due to her weakness and she almost collapsed.

“I am sorry,” Dimitri breathed.

Byleth cupped his face and shook her head. She tried to ignore how bloody he was and that her palms were sticky with blood as she held him. “You have to live,” she insisted.

One of his gauntlet-bearing hands lifted and dropped weakly on top of her hands. His hands were also sticky with dark red blood. “You were radiant,” he murmured.

Lingering pain pulsed in all of her joints. “Can you stand? We have to get you help.”

“Byleth,” he said gently. His hand guided hers down from his face to his stomach where there was a gaping hole in his amour, blackened flesh, and far, far too much blood. “I love you.”

“Don’t say it like you’re dying,” she ordered as tears rolled down her cheeks.

There were tears in Dimitri’s good eye as he smiled faintly. “I’ll say it as your equal then.”

Byleth kissed his forehead furiously. “Why would you sacrifice yourself for me? You know what’s happening to me anyways. I was already doomed.”

“Maybe I’m a fool,” he said quietly. “But I am a King of Beasts and I had to protect you.”

His breathing shuddered. Byleth whimpered and clutched his hand tighter. She stared at the red painting both of their hands.

“I’m sorry, Dimitri,” she said tearfully.

“You,” he breathed slowly, “are not to blame. I have enjoyed every moment of this life with you, Beloved.”

“Don’t say it like you’re dying,” she repeated. Her voice cracked and she shook her head.

“Father,” he murmured. There was a glazed look in his eye that Byleth had seen a few times in her life, but it vividly reminded her of 12 years ago when Jeralt had bled out in her arms. “Step-Mother, Glenn,” he gasped.

He stared straight up like he couldn’t see her. “I under...stand...”

Dimitri’s chest stilled under her touch and his heartbeat faded. Byleth gathered him in her arms and pulled him so he was leaning back against her. She pressed her face into his bloody hair and exhaled shakily.

“Shambhala falls with the king and the goddess sees it completed,” she whispered for only Dimitri to hear.

He didn’t move or acknowledge her.

Byleth’s arms tightened around him and she suppressed the sob building in her throat. She pulled the tie from his hair and smoothed it out as she held him.

“Sleep well, my beloved.”

25 Runners Share the Biggest Mistakes They Made as Beginners

Running seems simple sufficient: Merely grab a pair of tennis shoes and also placed one foot in front of the other? Well, any person that's had a hard time to obtain with a mile or even the very first 5 minutes (that's right, we've been there) recognizes it's not that straightforward. The concept of running for fun or also a social activity can be strange. And also establishing an individual record in a race? That looks like it's just for the pros.

If you have actually ever taken into consideration signing up with the sweaty, endorphin-fueled tribe of runners but are also the smallest bit frightened at the thought of running a 5K or figuring out what the heck a fartlek is, we're right here to aid. We asked now-seasoned runners to admit the biggest mistakes they made as newbies to the sport, so you could prevent them as you start pounding the pavement.

1. Only Running

During my first two months of marathon prep, I didn't incorporate any kind of other kind of training besides running. My legs were regularly aching, as well as I began to hate running. I realized I had to run less as well as integrate more cross-training into my routine.-- Alyssa Arnold, marathon finisher

2. Not Relocating Article Exercise

My largest regret was plunking down on the sofa as well as not moving after my very first 10K. My legs obtained so rigid I can hardly walk for a couple of days, as well as staircases were abuse. I have actually found out to keep the blood flowing by strolling, mild extending, and also foam rolling in the hours after a hard run. It's actually assisted my recuperation!-- Jen Batista, serious 5K and also 10K jogger training to overcome the half-marathon

3. Eating New Foods Prior to a Run

I attempted a brand-new morning meal the morning of a future. I failed to remember to purchase bananas for my typical bagel, peanut butter, as well as banana morning meal, so I improvisated. I was cramping after the first 45 minutes as well as threw up later.-- Christopher Lopez, multiple marathon finisher as well as co-leader of The Surge NYC

4. Being Too Ambitious

I got excited and enrolled in a half-marathon with a few more-experienced runner close friends, but I wasn't appropriately ready and also really did not educate effectively. I ended up with blisters the size of children on my feet. I could not put on shoes for 2 days!-- Cali Lavey, leisure runner

5. Forgetting to Take Day of rest

Training excessive and not relaxing enough zapped me for months. I was exhausted, and my stoke levels for running were at an all-time low. I have actually because discovered how to run, remainder, and hold your horses more compared to being remarkable as well as radical.-- Dominic Grossman, expert runner for Injinji

6. Disregarding Your Type

I really did not do adequate kind job and stamina training until I got a few injuries. Currently I proactively do a bunch of type drills and also fortifying of the hips and glutes to stabilize out my all-natural propensity to overpronate.-- Marnie Kunz, CEO of Runstreet and run trainer

7. Attempting to Race Every Run

When I first started running, I attempted to Public Relations [run a personal document] whenever I marched the door and do speed up deal with the treadmill as often as possible. It worked great for a number of weeks-- until I obtained a stress crack.-- Ron, runner for 14 years

8. Avoiding Leg (or Hip) Day

I had IT Band syndrome throughout training due to the fact that I didn't do any hip strengthening. When I aimed to maintain running with my weak hips, I eventually wound up with a tension fracture in my back. In addition to good kind, stamina training is crucial.-- Meredith Harclerode, two-time marathon finisher

9. Believing Your Tennis shoes Are Immortal

I only bought one pair of sneakers to educate for my first marathon, assuming their shape degraded based on how lengthy you owned them, not the amount of miles you run in them. On my final 20-mile training run, I had so much swelling as well as discomfort in my feet I needed to stop. After a doctor-ordered MRI, I uncovered my tennis shoes had been "dead" for over a month. I then had a choice: to run the marathon on dead footwears or purchase new ones. I chose new footwears, but following time I train for a marathon, I will have a few footwears in turning!-- Kate Barry, four-time half-marathon finisher, one-time marathon finisher

10. Choosing not to Quit

After weeks of hardly having the ability to run due to IT band pain, I aligned for the San Diego marathon. When I found myself hindering at a 20-minute each mile slog, I still chose not to stop. I thought, "Joggers don't stop, we press with!" As a result of my 'powering via' to the coating, I could not compete 6 months. Now I know that one race or run isn't worth months of stress.-- Amanda Brooks, eight-time marathon finisher, individual instructor, and also writer of Go to the Finish

11. Not Sustaining Very carefully

I ran a military-style race as well as brought a goo packet along for fuel. It took off when I opened it mid-race, which made every little thing sticky and also smelling like a sour apple for 5 miles. Gross.-- Lavey

12. Waiting to Get Pain Examined Out

I've constantly been athletic and I've never been terribly hurt, but one day I felt a mild pain in my knee. I overlooked it for a month up until I realized I was having a tough time placing weight on my ideal leg. I ultimately went to a physician and also discovered out I had an IT band issue. It took 4 months of regular physical treatment to recover. I shouldn't have actually waited as long to obtain it looked into. I put a damper on my training, and it ended up taking longer to recover.-- Arnold

13. Blindly Complying with Fads

I purchased minimalist shoes without understanding exactly what minimalist also was, I felt in one's bones individuals suched as the shoes. Just what occurred? You presumed it: I finished up wounded.-- User TheRunningTroll on LetsRun.com

14. Letting Your Playlist Obtain Stale

Music helps set the speed of your run and makes it a lot more satisfying. For every single race or tough run, I learned I have to update my playlist so I can anticipate brand-new songs that help press me to the coating. Whenever I fail to remember, I can noticeably see my pace and attitude decrease.-- Arnold

15. Not Moisturizing Correctly

I chose to go out for a run throughout the most popular component of the day. At the time, I told myself that it would certainly be refreshing to sweat a little, yet I really did not bring sufficient hydration. I returned sensation completely review, dried out, as well as worn down. If you need to go out on a run during negative temperature, put on proper attire and bring sufficient water to keep you feeling strong.-- Sarah Robertson, Advertising and marketing Education and learning Organizer at Precor and also recreational runner

16. Cannot Change It Up

It took me six years to understand that I actually improved at running when I was running longer distances. I started out running shorter ranges as well as squandered a couple years attempting to conquer the mile.-- Customer X Trackster on RunningAhead

17. Utilizing the Same Shoes for every single Run

I ran my very first and just road marathon in a set of really structured, overbuilt, as well as cushioned route footwears. I had no idea what I was doing, but I believed I required the additional security to conserve my knees. In reconsideration, I recognize why I felt slow and also sluggish!-- Joe Grant, Buff UNITED STATE Ultrarunner

18. Assuming Resting Suffices

After experiencing some discomfort in my right knee during a half-marathon, I took off for a number of weeks. When I started long-distance training again, I had the same problem. I realized I couldn't fix it by merely resting. Since I recognize exactly how to extend effectively, the majority of my IT problems are fading away.-- Mary Rose, leisure jogger as well as triathlete-in-training

19. Not Familiarizing Yourself With the Route

I have actually obtained lost and also misled more times than I can recall, so if something speaks up or looks wrong-- specifically on trails-- go back to where things looked right and also begin once again.-- Michael Wardian, runner for Injinji

20. Alleviating Running Like Other Sports

My most significant blunder was alleviating running like football technique: If I had not been worn down by the end of technique, I felt as though I really did not work hard sufficient. I 'd run all my runs at 80 percent initiative, or the equivalent of just what I currently call tempo runs. I wasn't warming up to the pace or cooling down efficiently.-- Customer stadjack at RunningAhead

21. Cannot Benefit from Public Relations Opportunities

I did not strike when the iron was warm. I was at my height physical fitness during a period, and also currently I regret deeply not aiming to Public Relations across the board.-- Seth Ariel Environment-friendly, former Department III college runner

22. Not Valuing Recovery Runs

Recovery runs should be done at an easy, moderate speed. My most significant mistake in my very early years of running was doing a lot of quick exercises and letting specific runs develop into mini races themselves.-- X Trackster

23. Neglecting Anti-Chafe Cream

... particularly "down there." During the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc ultramarathon, I had to use mud in my nether areas.-- Wardian

24. Overlooking Safety and security Measures

I neglected to change the batteries in my head lamp prior to a race that required me to run in the dark. It cost me a great deal of time.-- Michele Yates, Ultimate Instructions run ambassador

25. Not Having a Leave Plan

I did a future without a train card or cash as well as wound up getting stuck in the rainfall with no way to obtain house. I had to rest as well as wait until the rain slow down enough to see. Afterward, I got lost and wound up running an extra eight miles(!) due to the fact that I neglected my train card.-- Kunz

Dad Rock (January, 2017)

With company expected, Tilden’s patience with his daughter was especially, pathetically delicate. Like so many people he knew, and unlike the few he admired, he was aware of how counterproductive his harsh reactions to his child’s childishness were, but instead of calming him down, that awareness only made him ashamed of being a bigger baby than her.

“Jesus Lucy!” he said from the kitchen. “It’s really not that hard!”

Lucy was eight and she had asked him for help with her homework. Tilden could never keep track of how smart Lucy really was. Sometimes she grasped sophisticated concepts and seemed capable of greater concision than her father by far. For example, when Tilden spent five minutes explaining why his opinion of the mayor was so different than the media’s, Lucy said, “So you should be suspicious of what somebody’s enemy says about her.” But other times Tilden expected Lucy to respond to obvious cues and was almost contemptuous of her when she did not. At a recent Christmas party, she just missed colliding with a college student carrying a tray of spring rolls. Tilden had raised his eyebrows and assumed Lucy would stop running around. But 30 seconds later she was swinging a two year old boy to and fro and one of his feet knocked a drink off the arm of a very nice couch. Guests halted conversations to stare at him when he yelled at her. After the party, Tilden wondered if he would have been less angry if the college student with the hors d’ouvres hadn’t been so attractive.

He left a half-sliced carrot to go over the homework assignment with Lucy. 24 matchsticks were arranged in a grid of three by three squares: Remove eight of them so only six squares remained. The squares could be different sizes. Tilden solved the problem quickly in his mind, and then waited for Lucy to figure it out. He wanted to watch her apply deduction with what her teachers referred to as grit. Grit would send him back to the kitchen without feeling torn. But instead she seemed enthralled by her own dauntedness, as if the incentives to be vexed were greater than those contingent on mastery. It was true that the problem was more challenging than the pedestrian fare she normally brought home. And he still had an hour before anything had to go into the oven. So he pulled up a chair and availed himself to Lucy.

Immediately, Tilden recongized her slavish respect for the perimetric three stick by three stick square, and attributed the fear of undermining the master structure to Lucy’s mother, who was at work while he was at home trying to prove of equal worth despite contributing no revenue to the family coffers. Their marital therapist, whom they could neither afford, nor afford to fire, talked a lot about mutual traps, and certainly Tilden’s eagerness to resent Fiona constituted one of those. So while he knew better than to deprive Lucy of the challenge, his social and love lives were somewhat dependent on the quality of his own work in the kitchen. So he gave her a sizable hint.

“You know how you have small squares, medium and then the large one?”

“Yes Daddy?”

“Well you don’t need the large one.” He started back to the kitchen.

Only then did Lucy start extracting matchsticks from the outer frame of the grid. But she still had no vision of what six squares should remain. And that lack of vision rendered her whole approach diabolically ignorant of logic.

“No!?” Tilden said, settling back into the chair.

Lucy’s hand hovered over the dining table that doubled as her school desk, and tripled as his writing desk, and quadrupled as Fiona’s ultimate leverage when he had the temerity to issue a marital expectation during Top Chef. All she had to do was glance at the shoddy varnish and he would retreat back to their room, where his guitar sat on their bed, in tune but out of ideas. He might have to strum it for their guests tonight, to play the fascinating friend, not solvent enough to join them for weekends on the slopes, but just so damn entertaining, and not the least bit socially desperate. Maybe the nice tablecloth should cover him instead of the table.

Tilden knew, more than vaguely, that he was joining a long, sad line of fathers who projected their failings onto their children. He had recently read half of a book about the means by which global elites rigged the economy to capture larger shares of capital before it filtered to working people all over the planet. And Tilden wondered if he was so fucked up that he had coopted the book’s message to exercise this same kind of bullying over his own daughter, belittling her in subtle ways to compensate for his own pathetic, self-induced insecurities. And as per his secret policy, he conceded that anything he suspected of himself was damningly true, warranting full inward confession.

Tilden ran into the kitchen to finish slicing carrots. Fiona had taught him to slice them on a bias, to maximize the surface area exposed to heat.

He returned to the living/dining room to find Lucy beaming with her arms folded. Her solution had the sixth square sharing a side with one of the other five, leaving one matchstick bristling inharmoniously in the lower left quadrant. Tilden asked Lucy if that stray would be necessary if her sixth square did not share any sticks with the other five, but that presumed they agreed on which square was the sixth. So Tilden rolled his eyes and pointed with the knife he was still holding to the square he was taking about, a chimney jutting from the two by two grid she had spared from her haphazard groping. Tilden tried to ignore the all too slight difference between the quality of wood in the matchsticks and that of the table on which they, and so many other aspects of his family life, sat. Taking a deep breath and counting to 10 was actually effective, but it did not occur to Tilden at the moment. He recognized that he wanted to get angry, that even if it wasn’t productive or helpful or nice, it would feel good in a way that he guarded from the incursion that logic already made on so many of his choices. The irony that his anger was mitigated by the blade he was wielding, that being more dangerous goaded him to become less so, was not lost on him.

“OK,” he said, storming back to the kitchen. “Why don’t you take a break and come back when you’ve decided to turn on your brain?”

To Lucy’s credit, she remained at the table. Tilden sliced fennel bulbs, pretending to ignore her. Lucy knew she was not as correct as he wanted her to be, and that striving made Tilden put down the knife. He was so ashamed of his treatment of his own daughter that now above all else, he wanted her to recognize that he was not worth pleasing. But eight years of parenting had taught him that this was the last thing he should try to impart, that it was incumbent on him to perpetrate whatever fraud he had to to maintain Lucy’s trust and respect.

Tilden came back to the table. Lucy put all the matches back into their spots on the grid. They had established that five of the squares would be comprised of four small ones with the fifth being their perimeter. She removed matchsticks from the upper right and lower left corners.

“Good,” Tilden said, wondering if his tone mattered more or less now that he’d already allowed it to get so raw. He wanted to start all over, and wished he knew the cumulative affect that his denigrations, both forceful and subtle, had had on Lucy so far. Or maybe if he were overly sensitive she would turn out too fragile. Or maybe eight year-olds have already turned out however they are going to turn out and her succumbings to hard drugs and promiscuity were set into motion long ago. Tilden could already see himself blaming her for the bumps in the road she was now destined to hit, because he would be too cowardly to acknowledge the depths of his own failure as a dad. Even these private self-flagellations were probably totemic introspections, enabling him to avoid addressing more fundamental failings. And, per the rule, by probably he meant definitely.

Lucy still had four more matchsticks to remove. She inspected the ones she was holding. Tilden ran back to the kitchen to finish slicing fennel, hoping a match would accidentally strike, and shoot a spark into his bedroom to immolate his guitar. Until Lucy was five, he had enjoyed a career. He was never a rockstar, but he licensed enough of his music to avoid giving lessons, and he and Fiona could afford a nanny. He kept a running estimate of how many people had heard him play, both live and broadcast. Gigging at venues to audiences between 10 and 400 people on average of 15 times per year for 17 years, he had reached approximately 50,000 ears in person, plus more than 200 million via video games and a juice commercial. And then the tunes just stopped flowing. And then he exhausted his backlog. And then they let the nanny go.

He could trace the shriveling of his output to an early May evening with his friend Jerry. Jerry was an artist who had lured, there really was no other word for it, Tilden to the biergarten at Whole Foods. Tilden had vowed never to shop there but Jerry insisted the beer selection and rooftop setting warranted greater flexibility. Plus, Jerry said, isn’t it more punk rock to have no rules? So Tilden convinced himself to participate in a racket he despised, which required convincing himsef himself that he was neither a sucker for the trappings that tricked Whole Foods’ customers into embracing 125% markups, nor very serious about his initial boycott, so that he could convince himself he was at liberty to change his mind rather than vacating deep principles for an hour or so in a synthetically pleasant environment that supported the retailers of his craft beer to an even greater extent than its crafters. But the entire contortion had felt too easy, and any pain that was supposed to be entailed in shrinking the gauntlet of compromises down to almost nothing would have to be manufactured by Tilden, which seemed too unnatural to feel convincing.

He related the whole thing to the first time he and Fiona took Lucy to an art museum. Lucy had been small enough that Fiona could wear her and, standing in front of a Van Gogh, Tilden’s eye focused on Lucy’s little shoe, relegating the painting to a background blur. He knew the brushstrokes beyond the shoe were exquisite and that comparisons between the industrial marketing committee that had designed Lucy’s footwear and the genius who had painted the canvas hanging on the wall were absurd. But finding greater appeal in the painting than the crimson and chartreuse stitching on the faux suede maryjanes encasing his daughter’s tender feet required a vigilance that, exhausted from a productive morning, he just didn’t feel like mustering. And now, here he was on the roof, suspecting himself of innate preference for easy, synthetic pleasures over the soul-nourishing of true art. But what did that have to do with drinking beer with his friend? Was a dive bar true art? Perhaps because it welcomed the craggy locals that Whole Foods whitewashed, yes.

But Jerry was seductive, and beneath the easy flow of their conversation, Tilden wondered whether Jerry was testing him on purpose. And delighting in Tilden’s failure. Because Tilden preferred to enjoy himself with Jerry. Why was that a subversion of principles? But somehow it was. And maybe he’d never been an artist to begin with, certainly not one as comfortable in his creativity as Jerry, who could be crass and shallow without it marring the quality of his work. They had said good night, slightly drunk, and Tilden went home feeling like he’d been fucked by someone who would never call him again. He hadn’t written more than a few measures of decent music since.

Within a year they’d let the nanny go, and that summer Fiona suggested day care for Lucy and an office for Tilden. Now salting the chicken before trussing it, he wondered if whatever damage he might have incurred wedged between flourescence and a desk would have spared Lucy any of the dings she picked up from spending too much time with her unstable father.

“Daddy!” she said.

He put down the chicken and surveyed her configuration.

“Aw, good job honey!” He waved his greasy hands and shrugged, meaning he wanted to hug her, but… salmonella. Did she understand? He went back to the kitchen.

“Daddy?”

“Yeah.”

Lucy stood in the kitchen doorway. Tilden put garlic and half a lemon into the cavity. Then he pulled a strand of twine from its ball, nodding Lucy toward the scissors on the cutting board. She stayed in the doorway.

“Wanna cut the string?” “Oh, sure.”

He trussed the bird, salted it some more and nestled it among the biased vegetables. Dinner went into the oven in time for the evening meal. Tilden washed his hands, smiling at Lucy.

Lucy bobbed at the knees. Now it was his turn to decipher what she wanted but preferred not to say. Pausing only briefly enough to notice he wasn’t hesitating, Tilden took Lucy’s hand and marched her into his room. He grabbed his guitar and sat on the bed. Lucy sprawled along his back. Her dad began to play.

Therapists were busy reassuring theatergoers after seeing Dame Judi Dench in the trailer for the movie CATS. (See below.)

Meanwhile, three shows opened Off-Broadway last week about real-life world traumas – “the way she spoke,” about the murdered and missing women of Juarez, Mexico; “The Rolling Stone,” about anti-gay hysteria in Uganda, and ‘Mojada,’ which adapts “Medea” to tell the story of an undocumented immigrant family from Mexico. This prompted a question, which was close to a dilemma, for me: When (if ever) is a play’s subject so urgent and important that its quality as a work of theater feels irrelevant?

The Week in New York Theater Reviews and Previews

Mojada

“Mojada” is sometimes clever in the ways in which it transposes the specifics of Euripides’ story and characters; sometimes the contemporary parallels feel forced. But the main strength of “Mojada” is in presenting the details of the experience of the 21stcentury Latinx exile in scrupulous and credible detail — often harrowing, sometimes amusing. By telling this story as an adaptation of an Ancient Greek tragedy, the everyday and oft-ignored traumas of the undocumented are invested with the aura of significance that they deserve.

Moscow Moscow Moscow Moscow Moscow Moscow

Halley Feiffer’s loud, broad, hip, hyperactive, foul-mouthed, unconventionally cast, aggressively playful and generally off-beat adaptation of Chekhov’s “Three Sisters”… the bells and whistles of the production make it a challenge to engage in the hopes and fears of the characters.

The Bacchae

What would Euripides say about the liberties being taken with his tragedies in New York? Medea,one of his last and most-produced plays, has been turned into the harrowing tale of an undocumented immigrant to Corona, Queens at the Public Theater. The Bacchae, one of his first tragedies, never performed during his lifetime, has become an entertaining pop, rock and hip-hop spectacular in an outdoor amphitheater in Harlem.

The Classic Theatre of Harlem has mounted The Bacchae free to the public at the Richard Rodgers Amphitheater in Marcus Garvey Park, in a version by Bryan Doerries. It would be hard to argue that it brings home the full force or horror that is the usual province of Ancient Greek tragedy. But what is a better tribute to the play’s principal character Dionysus, the god of ecstasy, wine…and theater, than a theatrical production with such intoxicating singing, dancing and design.

The Rolling Stone

“These people recruit, rape and spread disease,” Mama says about homosexuals, not realizing she’s talking to one, in Chris Urch’s play, which takes place in Uganda in 2010. That was the year that a group of college students led by Giles Muhame launched a newspaper in Kampala called The Rolling Stone that ran photographs of gay Ugandans, with their names and addresses, under the headline “Hang Them.” One of those named, David Kato, was murdered…. The plays uses these true events of homophobic hysteria only as a backdrop to a fictionalized story that focuses on an 18-year-old gay Ugandan named Dembe. And that counts as a missed opportunity….

The way she spoke

“There is no better place to kill a girl than in Juárez,” says Kate del Castillo in the way she spoke, currently running at Audible’s Minetta Lane Theatre. The well-known Mexican actress is making her English-speaking stage debut in Isaac Gomez’s solo drama about the epidemic of violence against women in the Mexican city. Under Jo Bonney’s direction, she plays some 15 characters, including the mothers of las desaparecidas, missing young women presumed murdered in Ciudad Juárez; a man accused of killing eight of them and even the Virgin Mary.

“This is the biggest challenge in my career for sure,” says del Castillo…. “It is physically, mentally and emotionally demanding to live these people every day.”

The Week in New York Theater News

Beautiful: the Carole King Musical. will close October 27, 2019 after 60 previews and 2,428 performances.

And it’s too late, baby now, it’s too late Though we really did try to make it Somethin’ inside has died, and I can’t hide And I just can’t fake it, oh, no, no

It begins Sept 6, 2019 for a 12-week run at Vivian Beaumont

At 77, Paul McCartney is writing his first musical — a stage adaptation of Frank Capra’s 1946 movie “It’s a Wonderful Life” with book writer and co-lyricist Lee Hall (Tony winner for Billy Elliot, screenwriter of Rocketman)

People who can't afford health insurance are quacks?

i see the merits of having universal health care, kind of, but it seems to me that the problem is a lot of middle class citizens who just decide nto to purchase health insurance on the premise that they cannot afford it , and instead opt to buy material goods that are solely for luxury. you cant go out and buy nice cars and houses and bypass health insurance and then cry it off that the government should give free care to everryone.......i definitely agree it should be cheaper for the poor etc. bottom line: ppl need to realize health is the most important thing in there life, and satisfy that need, before thinking about personal possesions (nice cars etc)""

""My car insurance was voided in the past, and now I can't get a quote anywhere, can anyone help?!?""

When I started learning to drive at 17, I decided to buy my self a cheap car so that I'd be able to get more experience behind the wheel, pass my test quicker and have a car as soon as I passed my test. I was insured on my provisional license with an insurance company which specialised in learner drivers. However, I ended up getting 3 points on my license the week before I passed my test, in what I still think were pretty unfair circumstances. My house doesn't have a drive or a garage and so I had to park my car on the road in front of my house, or on a street round the corner when there were no spaces. As it was my first car I was really excited, and without understanding that I could get in trouble for it, I used to sometimes sit in my car and listen to music with my friends. The week before I passed my test we were sat chatting when a police car came down the road and pulled up behind us. Someone had broken into some allotments nearby and they were questioning us as to if we had seen anything. They searched my car- for tools that could suggest we had done it I presume, and when they found nothing they ran my license and obviously realised I only had a provisional license. I still at this point didn't realise I had done anything wrong, I wasn't driving the car, simply sat in it so I didn't realise I had committed an offence. The police informed me that because the engine was running, I could have been driving or about to drive and on that basis they convicted me for driving without a license. I only got 3 points and a 60 fine due to the fact I wasn't actually driving and at the time I accepted that with relief, I was terrified I'd get a ban or lose my license or get a massively unaffordable fine. I could have appealed but that would have meant going to court and I was only 17 and that terrified me. I declared the points to my insurance company straght away, but due to the nature of the offence my insurance was invalidated and void. I've only just now realised how serious having insurance voided in the past is. I'm supposed to be moving a 5 hours away in a few months for a job, and I have plenty of money saved for car insurance and a car, as without a car, the move is completely unrealistic. Without a car I won't be able to get to work as the hours are unsocial and my job isn't very well connected with public transport at all and so relying on public transport or taxis is simply not an option. I found a car, went to get an insurance quote, and found out that getting insurance is practically impossible when you've had insurance voided in the past. The points don't seem to be a problem, when I tell companies about my points but not about my insurance voided in the past they happily give me a quote. They're expensive, but affordable and it's what I was expecting. However, as soon as I tell them that my insurance was voided in the past they refuse to even give me a quote. I'm completely out of options and I don't know what to do. I need a car, but I can't get insurance as much as I try. I know I was in the wrong, but it seems like the voided insurance is more of a punishment than the points are and surely that isn't right? And the voided insurance will stay with me for the rest of my life, so does that mean that driving will never be an option for me? I'm sorry for the essay, I just really don't know what to do! If anyone's been in a similar situation with voided insurance or know of a company that would insure me then please let me know! Just anything that would help, let me know! Thank you so much in advance and sorry again for the babbling!""

Is GEICO auto insurance tougher (more expensive) than Progressive if you have an at fault accident?

I have one at fault accident on my record. It was a rear-end collision and it is a 2 pt. accident in California. I was shopping for new insurance. I made this statement about the at fault accident when filling out the forms for a quote online. At first GEICO the GEICO rates were looking way better than Progressive or other insurance companies so I thought I'd go with them. But when I went to go pay online, they did one last DMV record check, and came back with a higher rate. Even though I had stated the accident in the form previously. They waited to verify this at the very end and not earlier which I found annoying--they had my driver's licence earlier in the application process, so why wait till the very end! When filling out the Progressive quote forms, I also stated the info about my accident where asked. At the end, the form still considered me a Good Driver and the quote was much cheaper than Progressive. I went to pay and it did not recalculate my quote after a DMV check like GEICO did. I paid and am wondering if I am going to hear back from them saying I need to pay more. But I gave them all the info and I do now have a policy. So it appears that GEICO is tougher when it comes to having an accident, and Progressive doesn't let one at fault accident ruin a good driver discount? Does anyone have experience with this?""

There is large portion of the population that does not know much about flood insurance. Let alone what FEMA is doing to thousands of California Property owners. FEMA is re-mapping several communities within the state and every other state for that matter. Flood insurance is becoming a necessity and if your community is being affected, your property may be becoming a high risk flood zone. That means you have no choice but to purchase a policy. If you are concerned about these changes and how they affect you, then visit www.myfarmersagent.org. There you can obtain a flood zone determination and quote. We specialize in preferred rate policies and helping you grandfather your property to its current rating. Let me know if this helps anyone, I would hate to see anyone stuck with a high risk flood insurance rate.""

Problem with car insurance?

This isn't my car. So sorry if I'm fussy on details. Basically in the snow a car lost control of their car and crashed into my friends car. Which was parked up.

Car Insurance question?

So the other day as I was pulling out of the parking lot my car hit this non moving car next to me. The damage is not bad at all(a small dent with some scratches) and I am working with the other owner to get it fixed. I recently found out that they got an estimate from two places and both places are charging about 1000 dollars for their service. Do you think I would be better off paying for it from my pocket without informing my insurance place?(I am a broke college student). Should I get the car insurance involve? If I do get the insurance company involved will my rate go way up(cleaning driving record)? And how does car insurance company work(do they pay for all or partial)? What is my best option? Please Help!! Thank you so much for your time.

Car insurance for a 17 year old? HELP?

Im 17 in the uk and passed my test 2 months ago and have been insured as an additional driver on a parents car since then (2500 for one year on a ka what a piss take). no claims or convictions, nothing. I've been looking to buy my own cheap car but the prices insurers are asking for on comparison websites are absoloutley ridiculous, 10,000 annual for a ford fieta worth 900! I've tried choosing cars with small engines like a citroen c1 but STILL ridiculous quotes. How ar other youngsters complaining of their annual insurance of 3000 when I cant even find one under 10,000!!!! WTF. How are 17 year olds driving their own cars at my college? from what I've seen its financialy impossible unless their parents are millionaires. Half the insurers I go to online are 'unable to offer a quote', and theres no point in me taking pass plus because that'll only take 100 off of a giagantic quote which'll make no difference whatsoever. WHAT THE HELL. my postcode is RM7 if that makes any difference? Is there any kind of specialist young driver insures that I can go to who'll give me a better deal? I mean even if it was 5000 annual I'd be happy! Or insures that do that black box in your car thing? Because Im actually a very safe driver and having to pa astronomical amounts because of statistics is rather annoying. So any ideas of insurers I can go to direct to try and get a decent deal? thanks""

Inexpensive car insurance for person driving MUCH less than 2000 miles a year?

My brother is on disability income and has about $600 a month to live on. He really needs to have a car because he lives in a rural area and there is no public transportation whatsoever.He doesn't have much money for gas, but the insurance is really the killer, it's about $150 a month at state farm (and he insures his home with that company also). does anyone know any good options for him to save money? Is it legal if he just ditches the car and the insurance and drives one of my cars some of the time, or is that fraud? He does not drive to work or school, only to get groceries/prescriptions etc. The county workers just roll their eyes and sigh and say transportation is a problem.And they don't help.

I gave a urine sample for life insurance, want two more samples on different days. Why??

"I gave a urine sample for life insurance, want two more samples on different days. Why??

I gave a urine and blood sample about a month ago for life insurance. I received a call yesterday from the company that takes performs the physical and takes the samples...they said my insurance company wants to more urine samples on two different days. Why is that?? It has me really worried and I can't call the insurance office until tomorrow to find out why. I would assume that they had messed up the sample if they just wanted one more but they want two on two different days. :/ I informed them that I take birth control and sometimes take Ibuprofen. I don't use any other drugs or smoke and very rarely drink alcohol. I also have not been having sex (only with 2 people) and have been tested for STD's and visit the gynocologist every year and am always fine. I didn't receive anything from my insurance company about my blood tests which means those didn't show anything (would only send to me if something wrong). Any ideas about what's up with the urine sample requests???

Insurance deductibles -- when to pay? (and other insurance questions)?

So I am no long part of an california HMO plan, so now I have to get insurance on my own. Problem is that I am making about $800 / month (part time work) while going to school full time. Both my parents are on government low-income plans, so I cant put them as primary policy holders while I get student rates. One question I have about deductibles is when to pay it? For example, a plan that has $1,500 deductible / $0 doctor visits, do I have to pay the full value of that office visit to the doctor? Or will I have to pay $1,500 straight out to the insurance company and then funds will be used accordingly? What about $1500 deductible / $30 co-pay doctor visits? If I pay $30 to the doctor, will this credit towards the deductible? Or will this plan only hit me with the deductible for $1500 when I go to the hospital? Or will the insurance company want it upfront? Final question is: for a 21 year old student that is about 5'7, 230 lbs, non smoker, rarely drinks, what do you think would be the correct rate? So far I am getting estimates of $60-300, depending how big of a deductible I want to put down. Actually, one quick question: opinions on Kaiser Permanente anyone? I know most people i've talked to complained about slow waits and etc, but i'm leaning towards it because of good coverage for the cost -- but is it really worth it? I know this is quite a lot to ask, so if you don't feel like answering, at least point me to an informative web site?""

Best way to find affordable therapy for a teenager with depression?

I'm seventeen years old and I think I have depression. All teenagers are emotional, I get that, but I know this is more. When I'm occupied and around people for a few hours at a time or less, I'm fine and usually even happy. Then when I actually have time to stop and think and let my mind wander, I usually feel kind of hopeless and just very sad. I also have other emotional issues, like the littlest things seem to enrage me. Also, I read somewhere that depression can cause physical issues such as digestive issues (which I have been having a lot of the past four or five months). I cancel plans a lot now, either because my stomach is acting up or I feel too sad to go anywhere and I just dont want to be bothered with people. Ive been sleeping a lot more than normal lately because thats the only time things dont bother me. When I was about thirteen I had an issue with cutting, I would talk to my guidance counselor (which is not an option now because I did home schooling and now am done with school until college next fall) and when she realized that I may have some more serious issues, she called my mom. My mom always brushed it off. She talked to me a total of one time, only when I went to my older cousin and my cousin forced my mother to talk to me. Basically, my mom got mad because I said I didnt feel comfortable talking to her and she refused to send me to a counselor, then she said she would send me to a counselor (at that time I had insurance) but she never actually ended up doing anything. So I went back to doing what I always do, pretending to be fine, and for the most part I controlled it. I stopped cutting until about seven months ago, which was also when all my other issues started popping up. I havent cut myself in a few months now, but I still have the urge to which is not okay. Depression and other mental health issues run in my family, and I keep thinking of one particular relative who got so bad that she took her own life. I know that at some point she must have been like me, where it was difficult but still somewhat manageable, and it just scares me that I could get to the point she was at. I have no insurance, and we have very little money. I know Yahoo Answers isnt the ideal place to seek advice, but I dont know where to go. I only have one true friend that I trusted enough to tell, and obviously she is my age so shes just as clueless as me. Then I have tried talking to my older cousin (not the same one I mentioned before, she and I dont talk anymore) but in her world even if the money is not readily available, when its needed they find a way, so she doesnt get the concept when I tell her I really do NOT have the money for a psychologist or insurance. Is there any websites or anything that provide information on free or more affordable counseling for teens? Im ready to admit that I need help I just need to find somebody actually willing and able to give it to me.""

Driving without car insurance?

So, Im broke and I know its a really awful idea to drive without car insurance, but Im a little unclear about what the rules actually are. I know it is illegal to drive without car insurance b/c I got a ticket for it once when I just didnt have my proof of insurance with me, but it was a pretty small fine, is that the only legal consequence of it? I'm a pretty good driver, no accidents so far (knock on wood), and if I were to get into an accident it would probably not be my fault. Is it true if you get in a car accident without car insurance and its not your fault then you are still financially responsible for the damages to your car? ...Like because you dont have insurance the other drivers insurance doesnt acknowledge the accident or something? Anyway, as of 10 min from now my insurance policy will expire and im tempted to not get new insurance for a month or so until im more financially stable. What are the consequences im missing? Anyone know of really cheap insurance? other thoughts? BTW im still paying down the last couple thousand dollars on my car so I think i may be required to have full coverage insurance or I default on my loan, but im not sure. My loan is through a credit union, what may be the consequences if they find out?""

How do I lower my car insurance?

I have a 2001 Toyota Rav4L with 65K miles on it and paid for. The Kelly Blue Book value gives me an average estimated value of $9,000. My insurance now with Liberty Mutual is $113/month. So a little over $1,300/year. I called last time to get a lower rate but they convinced me that this is the minimum I should stay with and lowered it from $150 by increasing my deductible. I put my specifics in progressive and quote-net and ended up with half the rate for nearly exactly the same conditions that liberty is offering me. I plan to take public transportation more and park the car. I just want to be able to legally drive it to get somewhere in case of emergency and be covered if the car is hit.

What's the best option for changing cars and insurance?

Ok so I got my Service/MOT, Insurance and Road tax at the end of the month, I've been driving for 1 year now and touch wood I wont crash by the end of the month to get my 1st year no claims. I currently have a Renault clio 1.2 However in about 6 months I would like to change to a Audi A3 1.6 as my insurance will be cheaper with the 1 year no claims. (Had to get a 1.2 for the 1st year as Insurance would be crazy) I am currently getting quotes from Admiral and Diamond insurance for a annual fee of about 670 or Monthly installments that come to 1000, so Ideally I will just pay the full year off. But as I said in 6 months ill change cars and by the time Ill sell and buy a new car there could be 2 months where I'm not even driving, and don't want to pay for insurance for not even driving about. I can't find on these dam insurance sites about if i can put my insurance on hold (Admiral). Not sure if I will get charged if I put it on hold or not, as all these insurance company's are very sligh. and Should I pay the Road tax for the whole year or just the 6 months?
