Zac’s birthday was yesterday, but since it was August 15th, we couldn’t make this post in time. Happy birthday, kitty! We love you so much! š§”
Aoi: So, Zac, today is your birthday! Cheers!
Zac: Hehe, thank you! Iām happy that you remembered even if I have not yet appeared in Cymberlight.
Aoi: Of course I did. Iām sure everyone is still waiting for your debut.
Zac: Really?! They want to see me?
Aoi: You bet!
Zac: Amaaaaazing! (Zac starts dancing around the room, making meow-ish noises) By the way, I made a thing yesterday.
Aoi: A thing? You mean, a disaster?
Zac: No, no, no! I made⦠(Zac rummages inside his āThe Amazing Heroesā backpack) THIS! (He shows me his sketchbook)
Aoi: Oh⦠thatās⦠a drawing.
Zac: Yup!
Aoi: ā¦
Zac: ā¦
Aoi: Umā¦
Zac: Yes?
Aoi: Itās⦠pretty awesome, I guess.
Zac: ā¦You donāt like it?
Aoi: Eh? Oh, no, itās really well made! Iām just, like, a little confused? (I point at the character that looks like a demon) This is Cynthia, I supposeā¦?
Zac: Yes! Sheās the Demon Queen here.
Aoi: ā¦I see. āCynthia⦠Iām sorryā¦ā
Zac: And this knightā¦
Aoi: ā¦Is you.
Zac: Itās me! (Zac nods enthusiastic)
Aoi: Too bad he has his back to us, I canāt see his face.
Zac: Itās because, you know, heās not important in this scene. Heās just a vassal.
Aoi: ā¦A vassal.
Zac: Thatās right.
Aoi: ā¦Okay, (I massage my eyebrows, feeling like Iām leading to a stonking revelation) so let me get this straight: you made a drawing in which Cynthia is the Demon Queen, and you are her vassal. Moreover you are⦠(I point at the bundle the knight is holding out to the Queen) offering her a prisoner?
Zac: Iām paying a tribute. She asked the knight to bring her a sacrifice. To do⦠(Zac glances around and starts whispering for no apparent reason) you know, things.
Aoi: ā¦What things?
Zac: Demonic things.
Aoi: ā¦Yeah, sounds legit. (I keep gazing at the āsacrificeā) They⦠theyāve got familiar⦠ears.
Zac: Of course! (A broad smile appears on Zacās face) Thereās only one kind of prisoner Ms. Cynthia would claim, after all. As her vassal, it was my duty to provide her with what she wanted.
Aoi: āYeah, I think I got a pretty good idea of why sheād want such a sacrificeā¦ā
LOL!!! I love Zac!
That’s a wonderful sacrifice. What a cute prisoner. Does he looks angry or… ? Wait, is he looking at… ? *cough* Oh, well, maybe what displeases him is being tied, guess he will not be angry for too long… and I doubt his screams later will be from pain…
