Regarding 'The Hidden Serpent'

This is a fairly lengthy story that I am posting as I complete sections. Some parts are most definitely NSFW and are rather 'adult' in nature

If you have not yet read part 12, then I suggest you do so *before* you read the technical account of what happened below:

Spoiler:

Thank you for reposting this epic story here, Ankhnaset! I've enjoyed every word of it so far!

Hah, i like that last entry! There's something about excaggerated smiling and friendiness, isn't there. *taps his fingers in an eeeeexcellent way*

I am reading it bit by bit, tbh skipping some bits :p But I'm reading the stuff you're posting daily now. Ok I miss backplot but I'm enjoying what I read. Well written.

Interesting, Ankhnaset... interesting.

More impressive writing!

*grins*

I like the humour in the last entry! Keep it up, Ankhnaset! *cheers*

Oiii!! That's meeee finally!!

You captured Kyanth's personality wonderfully well, Ankh!! *claps* It's so refreshing to see our characters well written by someone else's hands!

Now I'm curious to see what happens next


PS: I might add that since he left the House of the Rose ICLy, Kyanth has moved back to his villa at the Noble District. I thought you might like to know that (But I will tell you on IRC too )

Well written again Ankh!

Also one thing i've wondered: have you stricken Ankhnaset's time in the Templari from her background or.. just not mentioning it? I'm just asking so I'd know how to refer to it!

No, Ankh was indeed very much involved with the Templari as a scholar in her backstory. But when things more or less disintegrated (OOC and IC) she became more and more involved with the Stygian diaspora in Old Tarantia and establishing her temple there... and I have a short Rashi-centric tale planned that will make it clear Ankh still has contact with the resurgent Templari.

The Hidden Serpent story started with the Templari hanging on by a thread (at that time the guild was OOC mothballed) and you had left the game (hence Ankh's sorrow was a reflection of mine as you rode off because 'we' did not think we would see you again OOC or IC)... but the thread held against the odds and the Templari survived... later stories will reflect that.

After all, the author and prime mover of so many Templari misfortunes is Ankhnaset's truly truly nasty foster father Nauktauref, so the involvement of the Templari in my stories is far from over.

I also have a story planned at some point called 'Wulfenbane' that will feature Leoric rather prominently

A lovely reply! Thank you!

I just realized, since Ankhnaset, Anor and Sorchaa, we have NO active Tempests of Set in the guild. *misses the lotus addict trio*

Updated the story to reflect that.

I am delighted you feel I got Kyanth right but your truly magnificent back-story was so rich that made understanding him very easy.

The strange servant is of course a summoned beastie of yours, which is why he creeps Phoe out, although she cannot quite put her finger on why.

Hehehe he doesn't summon many demons except his own Guardians, so maybe the servant is indeed Akhalith (His male demon guardian) just with a glamouring spell placed upon him so Phoe won't be TOO creeped out. Akhalith is a very skilled sorcerer and he could easily cloak himself...

If you're on IRC later I can give you details about the demon. He might be interesting if you want to add him on the story

And thank you for the compliments on Ky's backstory, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside

I figured the demon was just a low level 'watchman' minion beastie but happy to do that anyway you want... I intentionally did not go into too much detail

Heheh no no, Kyanth doesn't have watchmen minions, the only demons he summons are his guardian demons, which are two. And since Akhalith is also a bit of Kyanth's mentor and the one that taught him a lot of what he knows... They're neutral demons, in the sense that they will not harm people on purpose, in fact, their loyalties lie with Kyanth and they will gladly help anyone that helps him, or if he asks them to help someone but... better not try to harm Kyanth or they can be quite demonic.

Should be interesting too if you ever decide to use them cause they're characters of their own. I should have a talk to you about them if you want
