Considering we are a port we will certainly meet at least 1 sea faction. The Brethren Court, Ursula, Morgana, whatever deep ones bs the Atlantis stuff is connected to(Prince Aladdin Quest has Eldritch Lemuria), the EITC, etc.
I still think we're probably going to run into some Porco Rosso stuff. So Sea planes and sky pirates mainly, maybe have to fight the 'rightful Italian government' remnants or something. SEAThe Adventurer's Club has an HQ on Pleasure Island so there's the lesser known park only characters. Donkey(Shrek) is probably going to be there.
Oh, I can't wait to send P and the Watcher over there and destroy that place. Venigni must feel insulted by the mere suggestion of the existence of the boss of that place.
I hope that no one in the future who knows about Pleasure Island even suggests that Venigni bears the slightest resemblance to that monster, because P, with how much he trusts us and knows that we are genuinely trying to help everyone, will not be happy with the comparison.
I wonder how hades will feel about ergo, the crystal shit, by the lie of p lore, are crystallized human souls, he will either demand us to hand some over so he can figure out what the hell caused it(hades will have concerns how crystallized souls are a thing) or ask for a agent if his to be stationed to study ergo
Esmerelda and her group, there going to br in one hell of a culture shock with how the city of kratz is like, and the scars they have, wonder how they feel about pinocchio, cause from the huncnback of notredam movie they have heared of him, but he was small and innocent, not the whitish-purple haired chad that can fight monsters and have the slight power of rewinding time?
Ergo is a manifestation of a person's memories, life essence, and time. When a person dies, their essence is transformed into Ergo which naturally disperses around the site of their death. However, when a mineral known as Kroud is present, it will absorb and harness Ergo's energy, causing it to grow larger.
Kroud is the mineral, ergo is the energy. Kroud is presumably the 'wishing star' that fell to Earth long ago. It has no power on it's own save for absorbing ergo and growing as far as anyone knows.
Maybe ergo is more like soul residue, with the power to call a soul back from death or create a new one? Because the life it brings isn't always exactly the one that left.
suggests that Venigni bears the slightest resemblance to that monster, because P, with how much he trusts us and knows that we are genuinely trying to help everyone, will not be happy with the comparison.
If the SUPERGIANT version of the Hades Cast is here, does that mean that Hades 2 could be here too?
And can non-human beings (like puppets, demons or god-adjcent) use a Godly Boon? [Like Hermes Speed Boons, or Demeter's Deadly Ice Lasers]
Esmerelda looked out at the camp in sadness and regret. How did it all come to this? What could she have done differently to prevent this outcome? Was this God's plan for them? No, she couldn't let herself think like that. With a shake of her head, she went back to trying to make sure everyone was as warm as possible. Blankets, campfires, treating the wounded, soothing the dieing. It all took resources, resources the refugees simply didn't have.
Cast out into this dark new world, hungry and alone. Ironic, seeing as they had to flee the flames consuming France, both literally and figuratively. The heat of damnation nipping at their heels as the cold of nature threatened to steal them away as they slept.
The people were losing hope, she could tell. It's hard not to feel abandoned by God when a man declaring himself pope wanted to watch you burn on the pyre. Wanted to take you personally to-
Esmerelda settled a half burned preacher with her own shawl as his pillow. He sided with them against the madness, helped the unjustly prosecuted to flee. He likely wouldn't last the night. The Roma woman, the Gypsy, walked through the people. Djali following faithfully in her wake as always. Clasping her hands together she felt more alone in this moment than she ever had before, yet still she opened her mouth and began to sing accompaniment to her nearly solitary procession.
Darkness falls, and Hope has hid Hear my prayer, and let dawn come
This path is long, and the way is unclear
I pray to you Let mercy come
Soon another voice picked up the song in her heart, causing Esmerelda's eyes to widen as more and more voices joined together in the night. Their cacophony raising together in a rapturous choir, as if the surrounding mountains, hills, and trees themselves were their cathedral.
We are lost, and home is gone We keep you in our hearts, for we know dawn will come
Hear our prayer, so we aren't alone
We pray to you Let mercy come
More and more people stepped up until all that could raise their voices to the heavens were doing so. The non believers just as loud as the faithful, the children as solemn as the elderly.
God we are outcasts, yet we look to you still We'll keep our faith, and hold it high
Though different people may seem, there's one father shared by all
We pray as one Let mercy come
Maybe it was happenstance, maybe it was fate, or maybe it was God himself. In that moment of combined prayer every refugee was looking in Esmerelda's direction at the head of the encampment. They all saw in the same moment that the last words echoed out into the air, the horizon behind the one that started the hymn lit up like a blue dawn in the distance. Silhouetting the performer and her goat alike as if they were divine messengers.
The people one by one, in a wave, began to kneel and prostrate themselves. Were they showing deference to Esmerelda, or to the holy light? Both?
"Look!"
"The sky!"
"Is it dawn already?"
"It's like a star on Earth!"
"It's a sign!"
"Mercy!"
"God gave her a sign!"
"Is she an angel!?"
"A shepherd! She has a lamb!"
"That's a goat you old fool!"
And as Esmerelda turned in shock, the embers of hope reigniting in her soul, she knew they were not abandoned. God sent them a sign. They would head towards the light, and find their salvation. Whether it was passage into Heaven's Gates or a haven against the evil chasing them it mattered not.
Hope could burn a person alive just as much as any stake.
And so the camp broke and set off into the night immediately, led by a single woman as unanimous decree. They followed the light as it burned for hours.
Eventually they found a great city with walls and machines, sitting by the water.
Only time would tell if it was the miracle it appeared to be.
I used this song as inspiration. Hopefully this isn't terrible!
Yep, the reason they found Krat was because we lit it up like a Christmas tree, and in a suitably Disney fashion no less!
Shadows fall, and hope has fled
Steel your heart, the dawn will come
The night is long, and the path is dark
Look to the sky, for one day soon
The dawn will come
The shepherd's lost, and his home is far
Keep to the stars, the dawn will come
The night is long, and the path is dark
Look to the sky, for one day soon
The dawn will come
Bare your blade, and raise it high
Stand your ground, the dawn will come
The night is long, and the path is dark
Look to the sky, for one day soon The dawn will come
