What's ur demon au about

Thanks for the ask! sorry i didnt get to this sooner i kind of let this blog rot for a while bc other hyperfixations were filling my brain oops

Essentially, in this au chloe is a literal demon

she has some fun sneaky powers as a result, one of which being the ability to control bees (she has to stay on brand ofc). she also fases through walls and can do some fun visual effects kind of like dnd thaumatergy, amongst other things

As her backstory goes Andre and Audrey Bourgeois summoned her for a general deal with the devil type of thing, greed for political power on Andre's part as the main chip being wavered. And so she takes the form of their child and lives life as such for 14/15 years by being a menace to society to sustain her powers until she can finally get their souls in return for their wishes.

unfortunately for her, she's dismissed somewhere around that 14/15 year mark without the souls she should have procured. Havent nailed down how or why this happens yet, just know that it does. its not like, life altering for her or anything (luckily) just mildy annoying.

But the bourgeois couldnt just casually play off their entire child going missing so they fake her death. she gets a full funeral service and everything which was weirdly amusing to her. But because the Bourgeois needed to get rid of her things (couldnt risk her managing to connect to an item she owned and coming back to steal their souls an/or haunt them) they gave away all her stuff to various classmates.

flash forward a few years and we see none other than marinette doing some spring cleaning in her lovely little apartment as she prepares for fashion uni (or the France equivalent) while chatting with tikki about something (i forgot to mention in this au the whole miraculous stuff is still a thing, as well as a few other supernatural beings but thats not relevant right now)

one way or another, mari ends up knocking over some salt, and *oh*, whats this? chloes bracelet from that one episode?? next to some very much lit candles

with a puff of smoke and some vaguely maniacal chuckling, marinette now has a very annoying companion whos hellbent on getting her due diligence (but unfortunately cannot directly disobey marinette as she was the soul kind enough to release her back in the mortal realm to finish her buisnes)(and marinette says no evil sorry chloe)

shenanigans ensue : )

SHABOWKNIGHT HEADCANONS PLASTERBOATS

This is how Shabowknights work in my brain. It just is.

(Warning this is super long. like really long. its literally like 69k+ words im not kid. ding. i did include a couple poupble to help break up the bup the text. so. good lick.)

BECOMING A SHADOWKNIGHT

There is only one requirement for a person to become a shadowknight: you gotta feel it. you gotta reel it. you gotta feel it in the heart of the cards. sometimes ur having a rough day and youknow what thats fine. the shadowlord is totally there for you. hes your homie. your bro. your bromie. he can be anything you want him to be. but most importantly he is here for YOU. hes the cool boss. he lets you slack off on fridays, he puts slightly outdated memes in his powerpoint presentations. all for you. you’re welcome.

Now I hear what you’re thinking. What happens when the Shadowlord has a bad day? He can’t always be there for you, right? Wrong. The Shadowlord is on that grind, as the kids say. The grind never stops. no breaks. Stops? no stops. the only thing the Shadowlord is putting a stop to is ᴛʜᴇ ᴇɴᴛɪʀᴇ ʀᴜ'ᴀᴜɴ ʀᴇɢɪᴏɴ ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ᴠɪʟʟᴀɢᴇ-ʟᴏʀᴅ sʏsᴛᴇᴍ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ɢᴏᴠᴇʀɴs ɪᴛ. Hes up all night and all day, working hard for you. give him a big thank you.

Not convinced? here’s a cool diagram he made for you. this could be us. you could be partially dead BUT holding hands with your best bro the Shadowlord. and really, what’s better than that? ghat? yeah? no. nothing. nothing is better. look at this diagram and fucking weep.

•

SHADOWKNIGHTS AND IMMORTALITY

All Shadowknights are immortal, as in immune to giving a shit. they just dont give a shit. they can just sit around for hours not giving a shit. do you give a shit? you shouldnt. you shoulding. houlding. hold mushrrom. thats what you should be doing right now. what are you waiting for? well???????????

If you were a Shadowknight, you could be holding a mushroom right now. That’s right. a whole mushroom just for you. but you arent. so you wont. why not? what’s stopping you? pledging your undying allegiance to the Shadowlord isnt so bad, we promise. it rocks, actually. we have pizza parties at the end of every month. does your employer hold pizza parties at the end of every month? I didn’t fucking think so.

Now I know what you’re thinking. But I dont waaaannnaaa kill the person I love the most! Well guess what? Sometimes you have to make hard decisions in life. Which is why you’re lucky that this decision is actually an easy one! I mean think about it, end of the month pizza party, mortal emotional attatchments. attachemnts. atatchments. fuck. however you spell it. Which one sounds cool as hell? Thats right. I don’t even have to say it. you know the answer. you already know the answer. i put it in your breain and it stays there.

•

Your favorite pizza topping.

What do you want on your pizza? I know you’re technically not one of the bros yet, but theres no way you wont be after all this, so I figured I’d go ahead and get your order down. Yeah i know the pizza party is a month away. im not ordering it right now. im ordering it later. that way its still fresh when it shows up.

Although the delivery times out here in the nether kinda stink if I’m being honest. dont tell the shadowlord I said that though. he puts in a lot of time and effort to making sure everything is cool down here and like, really he doesn’t need to worry about the whole pizza delivery thing. like he already puts in so much time, the least i can do is cover the pizza thing yknow?

I actually made the pizzas one month. have you ever made hundreds of personal pan custom pepperoni pizzas. its a lot of work. seriously. I kept burning them. so many burnt personal pan piping hot pipper pepper pepperoni personal pan personal pizzas. luckily im immune to fire, and i can never die. if you were one of the bros, you could be too. here’s your pizza.

•

Consuming the Pizza

Go on. eat it. I made it for you. what do you mean when did I have time to make a pizza? just now, while we were talking. didn’t you notice? maybe not. I’m good at making pizzas quickly now. ive had a lot of practice. maybe we could make some personal pan pinni mini pan pepperoni pizzas togethethter sometime.

oh my god. wait. im an idiot. im a fool. i was so focused on making you your personal pan pipini piziza pepperoni peper piza that i didnt even hear what you wanted for your toppings. im so sorry. oh my gosh im so sorry. i really didn’t mean to, i just got caught up in the moment. really. i promise. i know this reflects really badly on the whole shadowknight thing, but i promise this is a rare occasion. really. all the bros here in the nether are really kind and thoughtful, so stuff like this rarely ever happens. I really hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.

maybe its better that we dont have personal pipizini personal pan papaza pizzas. im not actually that good at making the pizazis. i lied. im sorry. im so sorry. this doesnt normally happen. i just wanted to sound cool. its been so long since someone’s considered joining the bros, i just wanted you to really like me. im so sorry. oh my god. im so sorry.

•

A Reformed Pizza

The pizza is metaphorical. we’re still friends, right? we’re still bros? future potential bros? the potential kinetic mechanical energy of bros? thats a little science joke for you, whwhwhere i just said the science words. I havent learned about science in a while, ive been stuck down here making personal pan pizzazos for a while. im sorry about the pizza thing again, by the way. i tossed your bad personal pan pizza in the lava pool over there to make up for how sucks it was. it was really bad. yeah. its probably a good thing that nobody ate it.

A Sturdier Pizza

The pizza is literal. We can make a new pizza. together. with my powers and yours combined. give me your hand. we are holding hands now. these are the hands that will make a new pizza. together. we can do it if we believe. do you believe? in our new world? in our now pizza? you should. you should believe. you better fucking believe it.

look at thsi shit. ohhhhooooooollyf uck. look at that pizza. holy shit. look at that piza. holy shit. balls.

“Cid Garlond of the Ironworks that bear his name once wrote that these Silvertear Falls lie at the center of our world.”

ok I'm making a thought compilation bc the tinfoil hat is ON. pls enjoy the erik quote bc i spared all of us and didnt include him

let’s talk about 1.0 and silvertear skies.

quick sidenote before i start babbling. they’re 100% making Garlemald’s capital into End of Days 2.0: We’re Not Joking, Fandaniel is Really Doing It and it amuses me. (bc haha, the architect gets to narrate another city he helped build get destroyed. i see you SE)

But this post is about callbacks to things we saw a long, long time ago. The ship falling in front of Zenos is not the same model as Agrius or Gration. This looks like an Aurora-class ship. We’re looking at them shooting down a legatus.

But more importantly. Are you guys ready for Silvertear Skies to be relevant bc I SURE AM.

It is very little coincidence that we are tackling the primal problem now. And it starts with Silvertear.

There was a mass primal summoning after Midgardsormr died. Though the lorebook says the reason is a mystery, Koji explained in this forum post that it was done as a result of Silvertear Lake’s seal being destroyed. The lake released massive amounts of aether, which beast tribes took advantage of to summon their gods (luckily the Ascians just taught them how).

We see both Ifrit and Titan emerge from the group, with Ifrit being the first.

The first (publicized) primal summoning was ALSO Ifrit, in 1564, two years after Silvertear. This was done in order to reclaim Zan’rak, which we know they have mostly back. Ifrit is the first primal summoned in 1.0 AND 2.0, with the former taking place in Paglth'an* and the latter in Southern Thanalan (Zan’rak).

Between the two summonings, we get our first and greatest reveal of the Echo’s powers: we cannot be tempered, we are NOT tempered (at least in a recognizable way), and that we apparently have the ability to summon those within the aether. (Paragons = Ascians)

1.0: Vex me not, mortals. The Paragon warned of the godless blessed. (...) Yet the Paragon has entreated that I spare you, and so I shall—on one condition. Vow that you shall forsake the summoning of Another.

2.0: The truth of thine allegiance waxeth clear─thou art of the godless blessed's number. The Paragons warned of thine abhorrent kind. Thine existence is not to be suffered.

*Paglth'an may be familiar name now if it wasn’t before; it has been announced as 5.5′s dungeon. Another interesting parallel this has with 1.0 is that Ifrit is confronted after dealing with a merchant group who sells crystals from the beast tribes to the City-States. Although the Ashcrown Consortium has barely come up since 1.0, it’s extremely hard not to make the connection between them.

As we cycle back to the dawn, we're retracing the steps that brought us to the original one. I can’t wait to see what else may callback to the beginning of our adventure.

tl;dr The devs are piling on the parallels to events at the start of this game. The Battle of Silvertear Skies didn’t just kickstart Eorzea’s primal threat, further war with her beast tribes, and stall Garlemald for another 10 years--the Falls have long been theorized as Hydaelyn’s resting place and directly contrast Zodiark chilling in the moon. Also Minfilia was there and Cid+Erik called all of it back in 1.0 so I’m biased to them.

#i lost track of the point i was trying to make here about 20 mins into finding a picture of the airship #jillian talks sometimes #i shouldve just linked erik's lore rant #he thinks midgarsormr was an apparition made by the garleans and if that isnt the funniest conspiracy theory to come out of that man

Got any hcs for white? Her starter, her journey, etc? And like. Fws hcs?? 👀👀👀

K HERE WE GO MY SECOND FAVORITE GIRL EVER(this is gonna be long bc. i like them too)

➞

white chose tepig as her starter. this is actually a GREAT match because Gus is really rash and hasty and stubborn fist fighter just like her

white has never lost a battle. that was her goal it was never really to become champion or anything (she didnt care for all the responsibility that came with it) her goal was to be undefeated. which did not bode well for cheren, who wanted to be champion, and lost every battle against her

“well this is discouraging”

she really loves bianca!!! and cheren!!!!! she has the least patience and sense out of the three. cheren has to keep her grounded so she doesnt do weird shit

white is physically the strongest out of the protags. its mysterious. she als o has the best hair

when she first meets N he is. a creep. im sorry. even i see it like that when you first meet him hes weird. when she first hears the team plasma speech in the first town, shes like boiling already. why would anyone listen to the knights of the round table?! this is weird. she kicks N’s ass first battle.

her problem from here on out and throughout the journey is that. she was the opposite of N. she thought that everyone treated their pokemon nicely and no one could ever hurt a pokemon. she learned she was wrong fairly quickly, and tried to fix and embrace reality instead of N, who tried to change the world all at once.

this is why shes the hero of truth and hes the hero of ideals.

i dont have a lot of solid hc interactions between them (mostly bc i havent played in a while jfklas i abandoned my boy) but throughout their journey they. actually talk. and argue. and they both equally learn things from each other. and despite him being kinda weird (she thinks) shes actually kinda concerned for him

he makes her think about things she wouldnt otherwise. not just the fate of pokemon but about the future and the whole world. because of him she actually has this moment, where she has all of her current team out. and she realises that she is, like what he says and just makes her pokemon fight. of course and loves and cares for them, and she just. asks them real solemly like. “Do you guys even want to fight? Like do you even like being here?”

and she already decided that if any of them didn’t want to be there, she would let them go.

luckily, her whole team is full of pokemon just like her and they enjoy the fights, and the adventure, and spending time with her, and shes thrilled. after this she asks pokemon she catches that she wants to keep if they wanna stay with her

i love N a lot ok. whenever N talks to white she always says something that surprises him and makes him look at the world differently. eventually he finds himself actually seeking her out and deliberatly looking for chances to run into her. he gains a lot of respect for her. whenever he talks to her he takes his hat off and nervoulsy kinda. holds it in his hands and shes kinda “?”

when she first finds out hes king. of team plasma. shes pissed. shes ready to TIP TH DAMN CART THING IN THE FERRISHWEEL AND HAVE A FIGHT RIGHT THERE. HES TELLING HER TO CALM DOWN AND SHES LIKE HOW DID YOU EXPECT ME TO REACT??????????????

shes angry bc hes the king of this. horrible orginization. and as far as shes seen all they do is steal and abuse pokemon. the next few times she talks to him he tells her that theyre nothing like that, and that they only look after pokemon

this is actually true. some of the grunts fully believe in the true cause. but most of them follow ghetsis. and N has no idea that his grunts are actually abusing and stealing (i keep thinking about the dreamyard because that scene was what the fuck????a re you doing????)

she begins to realize this. that he has no idea. and that he actually believes in this cause. and as she gets to know him she realises he is. the purest person. and he has no idea. and she feels kinda bad bc she was kinda mean to him before, but hes still plasma so shes confused about how she should treat him because he always treats her and her pokemon pretty nicely.

N is actually a very nice and gentle soul. he’ll put up a fight for sure, but especially towards white hes the sgtwytwytws weetest thing im sorry i have a soft spot for him. lowkey he wants her approval.

if youve ever seen miraculous ladybug, i imagine N to be kind of like adrien(without the chat side to him) like hes just. nice. and gentle and. cute.

i hc that they have way more interactions than the game gives you

the best thing theyve ever had together was this celebration in Iccirus city (similar to like…the 4th of july kinda thing..) and whites pretty alone. cherena and bianca are off doing Arceus knows what and shes like. alone. and she finds N outside the city with some pokemon.

so she goes and talks to him. questions why hes out here all alone in like, the cold. shouldnt you be with your family or something? its a holiday. and she caught him off gaurd and he immedatly like stands up and hes kinda happy to see her. he doesnt question why but hes. happy. when shes around.

he tells her his father never really cared for these kinds of celebrations anyway, and that he usually spends these kinds of days alone. he doesnt think this is a big deal but whites kinda,.. lonely too. so she proposes “Listen, no one should be alone today. And I don’t really have anyone to hang out with either, so what do you say we just, forget about the sworn enemies thing for the night and go have some fun or something”

and hes. surprised. here she goes again. always saying something new and pleasent and hes. like beaming hes so cutnhejfje so he agrees.

and this turns into. a pretty great night for them both actually. like they actually get along great when theyre not arguing about the future of unova. they play a lot of booth games and.

hdj white loses at one of those ball tossing games(she usually loses and then harasses the booth guy with “Booo its rigged” but she just likes to have fun) and N. is determined. he fuckin. calculates wind direction and all this weird shit and gets. a record high score and shes like how the fuck did you do that. he smiles and answers its all in the wrist.

he gets her some stuffed animal thing. shes like this is the best day ever shes thrilled. they go and get food and like by the end of the night theyre actually. like friends. and she didnt think this would happen but she actually likes hanging out with him. at some point she wins a seashell necklace that she wears for the timeskip outfit

so theyre sitting there at the edge of the festival whatever eating caramel popcorn and ice cream and hot dogs laughing and telling stories about weird people theyve met and crazy things theyve done.

and they talk about his family. and why hes with plasma in the first place. and where her parents are. and why they believe in the things that they say and do. it turns out theyre both orphans. the only difference between them is that hes alone

at some point (i forget how this comes up) he asks white if theyre friends. she pauses for a while because she doesnt know how to answer it. yes, she thinks, when she’s with him like this. when she forgets that hes leading a region-wide organization aiming to seperate people and pokemon. but she settles with a yes, and jokingly adds that if they were destined to be mortal enemies they could hang out more, and he smiles

she spots a pair of plasma grunts, looks like theyre doing some shady things, but her head flashes back to the conversations shes had with N. he doesnt know what his grunts do. so she tells him to stay there and she’ll be back. hes kind of confused and worried, so he follows her from a distance.

she follows the grunts into a cave/grotto/area. yep, here they are abusing some poor purrloins or something, trying to get something that ghetsis claims he needs. she has her stountland right beside her and angrily questions what they think theyre doing.

when they snarkily and confidently answer that they do whatever they want, she asks why theyre even a part of team plasma at all if theyre gonna treat pokemon like this. she tells them to go join team rocket if theyre looking for business like that. N is outside listening to all of this

they say something like “You think this about money?” and she asks what else and they answer “This is about power. We don’t give a damn about freeing pokemon for justice! When all the pokemon are gone plasma will reign supreme!!”

she clutches her pokeball. shes pissed. not just because, these fuckers got issues, but because they are deliberatly. disobeying N, and everything he stands for. so she tells them to get out of there before they end up regretting it. they laugh and tell her they dont even listen to their own King, why would they listen to her.

(white is a huge badass by the way. shes the more hardcore and probably coolest protag)

then N steps in and they. fall silent. and they are terrified. the stutter and stammer about how it was all a misunderstanding, and it wasnt their fault, and they didnt mean it, and every excuse they could come up with but N. is kind of like leaf in this sense because he is. angry. but his anger comes off cold and heartless and man he is cool.

so they, because they know theyre screwed already, decide that they wont take this shit anymore and challenge them to a fight. figure if they manage to beat N, maybe they could rule plasma instead. (this is my excuse to get N and White to double battle) and they rock. theyre the perfect tag team. truely the two sides of the same coin

when theyre defeated. N forces them to release their pokemon and they run away, never to show their faces to plasma again. They stand there in silence for a while, and N asks “Why did you tell me not to stay there?”

shes quiet for a while before answering “Because…you believe in what you do” and “I didn’t want you to see the worst of what was going on.”

he thanks her for her concern, and tells her not to think like that, because now he finally sees what shes been trying to tell him about plasma, and maybe he can do something about it now that he knows. ignorance is never bliss, he adds, and she knows hes right. she just didnt want him to be hurt, she thinks

she asks what hes going to do, and he answers he’d try to weed out whatever corruption was in plasma. he hopes what the grunts say wasnt true, and that this was just a small mutiny, not rooting from the very top.

FYI SHES NOT SUPPORTING PLASMA at this point she still hates plasmas ass for doing what they do, but shes seen now the way some trainers treat their pokemon (in and out of plasma) and she thinks that if this cause was done right, it would help the world a lot

unfortunaly N is a fool lol and wants to liberate ALLLL THE DAMN POKEMON.

ofc after this. ghetsis goes and. poisons his mind again with how shes a fool and shes trying to manipulate you and why would you doubt your own father. and right after this N. becomes the hero of ideals and they become worse enemies than theyve ever been. she becomes the hero of truth and he smiles because suddenly. everything makes sense. why hes always so happy to be around her. why it feels like she completes him despite all their differences and he. loves her he just doesnt know it

and she knows for a fact that ghetsis is behind all of this but because N is the king, she has to go through him first.

and she really cares for N. she actually ends up realising after he leaves that yeah, she pretty much loved him. and she hates his ass for leaving. so she goes to chase him down because cheesy as it is, these two are literally soulmates. they both acknowledge that meeting and growing with the other has made them better and stronger people and white refuses to let that go.

(i love their story and dynamic)

i dont have a set reuniting scene for them yet, the only one i have is.,.,. a part of that other story im lowkey working on..,.,. but she slaps him thats for sure LOL. hes like a puppy hes so happy to see her again hes like “White!!” and shes. PISSED. she has tears in her eyes and CATCH THESE HANDS. leaf and green are probably there and theyre like WHOA WHAT

green actually relates to white bc of this bc yeah, i waited for like 3 years for the love of my life too

He had found it. It had found him

Icebringer and Frostreaper, Legacy of the Fallen Prince was gone. In their final moments they grew so strong they almost overtook him and like their former master their last dramatic moments were followed by still silence and loss.

With the horns of war sounded again the Frost Knight was called to battle yet again, like so many others. Many who still had their lives to live lamented yet another war. More death and destruction, more murder and chaos, old hatreds and those freshly birthed brought to bare. But for the Knights of the Ebon Blade, and their sister faction the Illidari war was the only reason for their existence. Both war machines existed because their old lives were gone, one by choice the other by force. The Illidari’s destiny was admirable. “I have given everything, what have you sacrificed?”. Many thought this a taunt, to put other warriors below that of the Demon Hunters. But it wasnt, it was a challenge. Every Demon hunter fought with the same pragmaticism, ambition, and anger. So much anger. Each one fought with the fullest extent of their lives for their lives had only one purpose, to protect Azeroth and destroy the legion, if this meant dying immediately or fighting for days at a time it didnt matter.

Luckily for the Knights, our bodies were already dead, or sustained through necromancy to the point of not being truly alive. “We do what we must, for the Living cannot”. Most of us were murdered and raised, each of us filled with unholy magic that gives us power and sustains us. However, this means we cannot live normal lives. Some pretend to during times of peace, most of us embrace what we are fully. We have all died, but unlike most we can still fight.

And so we fight. Another war? Another battle? I do not enjoy it but there is a certain pleasure, a....consolation ...knowing that were i not here someone with some hope for a good life might be. Every arrow I take, every deathblow i ‘endure’ is a life saved.

And so, with the Horde pushed to a temporary stalemate on the Darkshore, south of the Great Tree Teldrassil, the mercenaries, heroes, and abominations like me had a moment to collect ourselves. The Average soldier could make do with regular armor and weapons, but one such as us was going to be fighting for days on end. While the petty brave footmen and archers fought each other people like the Alliance’s “Champions” would be tasked with fighting siege weapons, generals, monsters, and each other.

I had donned some of my prefered armor, forged during the Pandaren campaign it was designed to help combat the horde. Its horrific visage made the soldier look as if they were a nerubian lord given human form, the horned helmet and wing like feathers giving the resemblance of Anub’arak himself. Created to fit a variety of soldiers fighting the Horde across Pandaria and older battlegrounds its enchantments focused on deflecting hooked arrows, and neutralizing poisons, rather than the more aggressive enchantments that prevented crushing, or deflecting mighty beams of magic that was more common in those who went to fight giants and dragons.

All I needed was a weapon. As a Deathknight, and kin to one who lived life as a spy and then a paladin, i had my pick of them. Powerfully enchanted blue blades made half of magic, half metal from Malygos’ mortal generals. More Mundane weapons meant for mass production but whos materials were sturdy enough to match most enchantments. He was partial to a pair of crude looking swords he obtained from Draenor. The metal was still bound to the elementals of Frostfire ridge, and aggressive ice elementals regrew the icy spikes upon the blade even in the most heated battles as a point of spite.

And as I passed along some of his older weapons, Isaw it. The perfect weapons to jump into battle against the Horde with. It is not common to see an axe forged by a nightelf. The leaves crafted into the side of the head made the weapon look almost ritualistic, but I knew that they contained a complex enchantment that fed the magic from the moonstone embedded into the axe, into the blade to strengthen its blows and defense. It was an axe forged by the smith representatives of Darnassus as reward for those champions who earned the right to fight the Lich King, those strong enough to not become canon fodder and be immediately raised to fight our allies. A great many were made for the thousands of champions trying their best to prove themselves. Many of the Night elf allies were eager to earn such a beautiful and powerfully defensive weapon as a show of solidarity at the Argent tournament.

As I took it up, feeling its perfect balance, the light from the moonstone struck the engraved name. A simple, unartistic name. It would have been rude to gift gnomes, and draenei a weapon named after some ritual or hero only elves would know. No, in fact as I remembered it was not the name of the weapon but the name of those who wielded it.

“Teldrassil’s Protector”

I had spent more than enough time, it was right to come for the armor which would help him fight for several more days before he needed rest.

But as he hooked his own axe onto his right hip, and his brothers onto his left. he felt a sense of urgency emanating from them. Even from here the moonstones sensed the danger to the forest

Balrick Brightblade did not know if he would be able to do enough to help save his allies...his peoples home. But he KNEW that this agent, born of death and winter, would be able to do SOMETHING to help protect the Tree of LIfe
