57 pls
And here is it. ^^
057 - Sacrifice
Somesacrifices were necessary. Myth knew that. Prepared for that, even. But it wasstill a pity that with the traitor’s involvement the princess was useless forhis plans. It would need threats instead of negotiation, now, to free thequeen.
Alcasterhad been a sacrifice from the beginning, the man way too greedy to accept his placewasn’t on the throne. Fritz was way too… genuine with his loyalty to duty and crownto accept the princess being sacrificed. But then Myth didn’t even know, whatthe queen would do with her child in the end.
The kingwas a readily sacrificed pawn in his game. Too idealistic. Too stubborn to justlay down after tasting the freedom the queen’s absence offered him.
What Mythhadn’t expected was the readiness with which the queen sacrificed him.
Well, I’m still alive!^^
Even managed a small side project in four chapters, where Lucette gets reincarnated as female Tony Stark and Myth as Loki.
It’s completely uploaded over on Ao3.
Advertising for my own work. A Cinderella Phenomenon fanfiction, with a slow build Lucette/Myth pairing.
As of October the 23rd it has 9 chapters and roughly 44k words.
Lucette is the MC and the story is mostly from her point of view. Whoever wants can go and take a look.^^ (And leave a review, if they want to. I love feedback.)
111!!
111 - Coward
Myth was very sure that most of the knights and other people obsessed with waving swords around would call him a coward. But there was simply no reason he could think off to knowingly put himself into harms way! And why should he enter a fight he knew wouldn't end well for him? That was simply being stupid.
Running from danger you couldn't fight was a viable strategy to prolong your own life, it had already worked during the witch hunts after all. And even kept him saver than hoping that these stupid humans would simply leave him alone, just because he really wished they would.
Running and hiding was a strategy, he could live with, as long as he came out on top in the long run. Sure, some people may call him a coward, but at least he was an alive one.
Myth x Lucette "050. Breaking the Rules" dabble?
050 - Breaking the Rules
There were many rules applying to a princess. Social ones, etiquette and sometimes simply expectations about how a princess currently had to behave. There were always witnesses for behavior. Family, servants, chaperons or maybe even guests.
Currently there was no one outside of Myth. And the level of freedom that added to their interaction was exhilerating like the first time she had channeld magic freely in an appropriate open space.
There were no roaming hands or deep kisses belonging into back alleys. Lucette was no fan of there things. But despite everything Myth was clingly and just like herself loved to be close enough to her for touch. Holding each other. Being closer than was approopriate. Kisses were a rare thing, both were not quite sure how to add to their current relationship.
But both needed the touch. The contact. No matter the rules, expectations or opinions. Touch made it real, where words were simply lacking.
And Lucette would willingly break many kinds of rules to keep that assurance that everything between them was real.

034 - Mechanical
Over theyears the action of renewing the glamour on himself had become an automated actionof his body he didn't even need to pay attention to. He could do it halfasleep. Had done so multiple times already. It had become a mechanical actionto him, when it had started out as a must to stay hidden.
Now it wassimply a mechanical action of him, build into a routine. Just like sitting downon the desk in his office and stamping and/or signing papers.
Time wasgnawing at him, at his mind, lulling him into a sense of secureness. But asmechanical as it was to him, as ingrained as the action was, it didn't meanthat it would work forever. He was a witch and the princess was going toinherit the Tenebrarum. And then it would only be a matter of time until shenoticed the witch in the palace.
The routinewas safe, but only for the moment. Working like a machine was only useful whenthe setting stayed the same.
He simplyneeded to make sure that the situation was in his favor when the machine becameuseless.
Well, look at what I found. A list of keywords for drabbles that was quite popular on Fanfiktion.de once as the 120-challenge (I think it was called).
You can ask requests for a specific setting with a keyword or simply pick a keyword in generall and I’ll write something for it.
If there is no ask in general, I’ll simply pick one with a random number generator.
And yes, words can be picked multiple times.

what about 060?
060 - Rejection
Rejection was a matter of attachment. If you weren’t attached to someone, the rejection didn’t matter. Which was also why Myth didn’t bother getting attached to anyone while hiding under a glamour.
The only on, whose rejection mattered, was his queen. But she would have no reason to reject him as her student, now that Waltz was a traitor. He would be the one, who ensured her return, the loyal apprentice. The one that stayed, even if leaving would have been easy with no one knowing he survived.
Rejection happened, if the other party found a reason to not want you around. He would make sure there would be no reason for his queen to sent him away.
myth and fritz drabble?
Have a small piece.
Sometimes Mythwasn’t sure how the knight was able to be so genuinely good.
It wasn’tthat the boy was trying to be charming or trying to woe her. He was… way tooobvious for that.
But in away they were the same. Bound by their oaths, their duties, their promises. Theknight was just way more open about it, his promises and oaths known. His dutiesnot needing to be hidden.
Both oftheir duties would be dangerous under specific circumstances. And none of themwould simply abandon them. It was just how they were. Even when they haddifferent reasons for it.
In the end,they were both just doing their jobs, driven and motivated by personal agendas.
My happiness about this blog existence is too big. So can you maybe write a Drabble about Myth’s first weeks in Hildyr’s training? How was he adjusting to this new life and all that? If it’s ok for you.
I live to write! ^___^
I hope this is along the line of what you wished for. (I may have escalated it a bit towards the end…)
“This will be yours.”
The door was closed now and Myth was alone in the roomthe queen had just assigned him.
‘Yours’ she had said. His. This was his.
This whole room.
A whole room for himself after years of running andhiding and fearing the cold of the night and used to the pain of hunger.
Hesitating for a moment, he stepped further into theroom, the wood of the floor not even creaking under his weight.
Clothes had been the first thing provided by thequeen, upon deciding he was worth some of her time. A street child had no placefollowing the queen around.
Standing in the middle of the room didn’t makeanything disappear. In a strange way it made everything more surreal and realat the same time.
Smooth, painted walls and a window. A drawer and acupboard. A nightstand and a bed.
Drawer and cupboard proved to be empty, but what wouldhave been in there? He hadn’t brought anything with him.
The sight from the window was met with darkness.Whatever was on the other side, it was too dark outside to see at the moment.
The bed was real. Soft and warm and utterly heavenly.
Exhaustion, mixed with the surreal new situation hewas in soon enough swirled together into the dreams he would never remember.
Myth wasn’t trusting this new routine quite yet.
He got up in the morning, got a meal, started on hislessons and worked on them until either he was finished or night arrived, onlyinterrupted by another meal in the evening.
It was strange to not need to worry about thingsanymore. It was… nice. A sense of security had severely missed and mournedwhen his childhood home had turned to ashes.
There was food, there was warm clothing and rain andcold weren’t a problem anymore, because he was inside heated, dry rooms duringhis studies.
He didn’t trust this peace. People didn’t just sweepin and took in orphans. It just didn’t happen!
Not that he dared to voice that thought. Especiallynot to the person, who had rescued him. No reason to bite the hand that fed him-in this case literally!
He was here, because the queen wanted it, learned fromher, because she wished so.
He needed to figure out why.
There was another apprentice, Waltz.
He was a bit younger than Myth, but had also been herefor a bit longer.
And the queen wasn’t teaching them together. For somereason it gnawed at Myth.
Why not? What was the reason? They couldn’t bedifferent in skill if she had decided to teach them both…
Myth found himself paying attention. Especially to howmuch time the queen spent on whom (her daughter taken out of the equation, shewas a blood relative, the princess rating higher than him in the queen’spriorities wasn’t surprising).
The queen spent… a lot more time on Waltz.
Why? He had watched the other boy and he wasn’t a goodstudent at all! Sure, he got the material quickly, but shirked the lessonswhenever possible!
Maybe she spent more time on him, because she knewthat as well…
Yes… that was it. Surely it was that.
But… why would she keep sucha troublesome student around?
There was pain flaring when he moved, the welts on hisback burning.
He should have known better than agreeing to do thatboy a favour! No one would know, he had said. Nothing would happen, Waltz had promised!
“I thought better of you… Butit seems, I need to remember you, who you’re owing your place… And how easilythat gift is taken away.”
The room was dark. Cold. Somewhere underground.Layered with something that kept magic just out of his reach.
No light. No warmth. No power. Hunger gnawing at him.Thirst burning in his throat.
How long had he been in here? How much time hadpassed? He wanted out, he felt so powerless and weak and he didn’t want to feellike that again -pleaseletmeout!Ogodthedarknessisdrowningme!Pleasepleaseplease!It'schokingme!IpromiseIwon'teverdoitagain!Pleaseletmeout!
He didn’t remember the darkness taking hisconsciousness away.
…
“Look at you, you learned yourlesson so well! Lets see, if you’re a good student after all.”
The words were somehow in his mind when he woke up. Asif someone had said them just before he woke up.
The whip marks on his back were bandaged, the softlight of the dawn was streaming inside the room through the window, a meal onthe nightstand next to the bed.
It took a few days for him to get over himself and askWaltz about what happened.
Nothing had happened to him.
Nothing had happened to him.
NoThINghaDhapPendtOhiM!
Myth found himself hating Waltz.
Waltz, who got his queen’s personal attention, despitehis disobedience.
The prodigy, who never took his lessons serious.
The one favourite, who never even got punished!
He deserved nothing!
Myth would prove it. He would get his queen to look athim. He just needed to make up for the first slight.
He would prove that he was worth it!
There were new scars on his back, now.
His thoughts were kind of hazy to grasp.
He remembered darkness…
Right, he had been studying by himself, topics notassigned by his teacher…
He hated Waltz.
He wouldn’t disobey his teacher again.
He was a good student.
Pain. Darkness.
He hated Waltz.
He wouldn’t question his queen.
He was a good student.
