@Oshha decided to tie break by not having it eaten, but by also having the Cycle be from Seryn's perspective.

Yeah. Since the winning plan required the shadow monster spirit to not be eaten, I decided that was a good enough reason to decide which way the eat/not eat tie should have gone and since the voters for that tie were pretty much the same as the Seryn/Gwarlon voters, I decided to let the side which lost the first tie get the second tie in their favour.

Hrrm...My thoughts?
Cadyl's a good kid, in my opinion. Smart boy and I think he will treat his wife well. His hatred for the Sangere is typical war vetern-inspired, and hopefully will defuse over time. The fact that he calmed down after hearing some of the reasoning behind Gwarlon's decision(by proxy of us) is definitely a cheering thing to see.
Wyrn...It's interesting. For someone who's a particularly powerful Cath Wyr, she does like being pampered, and I can easily see having rescued Cadyl and several other Cath from the Sangere feeding into that, in that she's proved her capabilities, and doesn't need to protect her rep, so to speak. I can understand her views regarding her family, given the whole 'kicked around cripple' thing.
I'll admit, the part in their previous tale about the each one being worried about what the other thought of them was nice, like a gift of the magi except Not actually going through with it. Amusing!

Particularly interesting I think. I would have expected her to make a big deal of doing stuff for herself now that she can...but perhaps she misses the trust and intimacy involved when someone cares for you.
Diametrically opposite families though.
I presume families tearing apart after a Mighty Body blessing is common?

More common initially, but rarely now as the population has grown used it and accepted it as a thing. Still plenty of confusion and unsureness as they attempted to sort how things will work afterwards with the family.
Wyrn's family happened to rather terrible so it just collapsed due to barely anything keeping it together and plenty keeping it apart.
For Wyrn, all of the superstrength, the beauty and other perks are all secondary bonuses to the main benefit of being able to walk like a normal person and not be a crippled. She likes to fight and doesn't have a problem with violence or slaying her enemies and it comes naturally to her, but because it comes naturally to her, Wyrn doesn't make a fuss about it. She does believe herself to be the second best warrior after the Mighty One herself and is more than capable of backing up that statement, but that is just a cool side thing to her. She does enjoy a good fight and like Cadyl, she doesn't like the peace with the Sangerish, but while Cadyl just wants payback against the southerners, Wyrn is missing a good source of fights as the Sangerish could have provided her with a lot of foes to kill.
The beauty is nice, but her sisters and mother have soured her towards it so she doesn't care about looking good except for when it comes to seducing Cadyl. Wyrn only realises uses her body and appearance when it comes to Cadyl, either winning his lust/love (the Four Villages don't really make much of a difference between the two), cheering him up with the use of her body and messing with him for giggles. At this point, Wyrn has figured out that Cadyl is a typical Four Village man in his desires and finds her tall height and big bust to be her most attractive physical features. And since it is much easier for her to leverage her boobs over her height, Wyrn has taken up the habit of districting Cadyl from negative emotions like sadness or anger with the positive emotion of lust/love. After all, something can't upset Cadyl or make him angry if his mind is too focused on her breasts to think about on the bad thing. She also likes to use them to muck about with Cadyl's emotions because she finds it funny and it doesn't negative impact Cadyl and he is also enjoy himself most of the time.
As for family, Wyrn has long had a desire for a happy family, but has been denied that for all of her childhood. So when Cadyl came along and started caring for her, she fell for him. She fell for Evatine caring for her as well, but that was less romantic love and more religious zeal for the deity who made life worth living for her. Because of that, Wyrn's greatest desire is to start a new family with Cadyl to replace the old one which failed her. Right now, her mind and heart are split between that dream and her love Cadyl with everything else being secondary. Just as Evatine planned in order to give a poor abused girl a happy life whilst also giving Cadyl a loyal, caring loyal who would be worth of him and vice versa.
I dare say marriage bonds would be complicated(seems the simplest solution is to reswear marriage and family vows a cycle after the transition to see if anyone wants to continue). And polygamy probably would come into play soon if it hadn't already, given the sheer number of unpaired women showing up. Especially once Seryn figures out Feminity.

The current process is to continue the old marriage by default with the option of taking action to change things. Due to Gwarlon and Bronwyn, marriage is becoming something of a sacred thing just as cats are becoming sacred due to the Aspect of the Wildcat in Gwarlon's family. Because of this, a marriage between a man and a woman is the norm, but due to the Gift of the Mighty Body, a Cath Wyr with a Cath Wyr is also acceptable as is a Cath Wyr with a woman. Note that a man with a man is considered wrong as is a woman with a woman.
Polygamy was starting to be suggested when Sangere happened. Now having multiple wives is associated with the Sangerish custom of having multiple sex slaves so how polygamy will be considered by your people will depend on how the Sangerish deal with it as if things stay as they currently are and Seryn fails to change the Sangerish attitude towards females, polygamy will be seen as a barbaric thing done by evil outsiders with a single-partnership marriage being seen as the proper way to do sacred marriage. It might be different with the Cath Wyrs as Cath Wyrs are starting to be seen as the exception to social norms due to mucking them up with their effect on the male to female population ratio.

Speaking of Gwarlon and Bronwyn, I'm surprised Bronwyn doesn't have even an Aspect of Motherhood yet.
Considering that being the Pantheon Mom is almost as integral to her identity as Gwarlon being the Pantheon Dad is, and at this point Love is equivalent to Lust, it seems like a rather obvious synergy for her.
Plus, I imagine she also spends time with the kids in between going on expeditions and crafting stuff.

She is in the same the position as you were with Aspect of Earth. Has all of the requirements for it and is on track to get it next, but currently lacks enough power to develop a new Aspect.
She dos as does Gwarlon. Even if it doesn't directly come up in the narrative (why would you comment on the fact you breathe air or had to eat and drink?), it is taken into the account on certain dice rolls and the overall narrative.

I know, but it's always nice to have a reminder of "Hey, your Spirits aren't huge assholes and actually care about their kids and worshipers".
Especially in comparison to the RL Gods, or Escalf.

@veekie I also forgot that with the whole 'your marriage partner has become a Cath Wyr' thing, that another option which is becoming increasingly common to getting Bronwyn to bless the new couple with her Aspect of Love so their old love is strengthen back to original levels. At the moment, due to the proto-sacredness of marriage, the people of the Four Villages will make a trip to Bronwyn's shrine to make them magically fall back in love again rather than get a divorce or otherwise break up.
And for anybody wondering, Cadyl and Wyrn could have used this, but neither of them knew about it before Cadyl returned to being male. When they did find out, they decided that Cadyl would stay as male until Wyrn had enough babies for her liking before Cadyl would chose to be male or female or just switch back and forth.

Just to be sure, Bronwyn can't force people to fall in love, can she?
Like, she can only rekindle love, instead of making two people who have no love for each other suddenly fall in love?
Because if it's the latter that's fine, but if it's the former that's pretty skeevy.

Oh, she can totally do the former, but it is harder than the latter. She doesn't do the former without it being requested, but she will do the latter at will, but you can't tell if she did latter former because you cannot accurately measure love so only she and her daughters know about it.

Or he runs out of spiritual energy. Either one.
Edit: And Wyrn could do that same and has access to a blessing with Divine Vigour so her healing are more efficient than Cadyls and her reserves will last for longer, but too much usage of her blessings/healings runs the risk of Cadyl spontaneously turning into a woman.

You had a good cycle, building on the good deeds of last year. Your sisters do their things in Avawyr while Arwyn makes enough expedition into your forest despite her failure last cycle. You give her greetings and wish her good lick as you finish the wooden wall around Bedynn, something you wish you had so many years ago.
You miss Aeryn.
Nonetheless, with the completion of the Bedynn wooden wall, all three of your villages now have walls and since Dad finally finishes the stone wall around Avawyr, it means that all of the villages are walled.
Good for any future attacks even if you do not have to worry about any of those right now after the previous cycle.
Speaking of last cycle, Dad decided to deal with that accursed shadow monster spirit by trapping it with fire. From what you heard, it was unsuccessful as Dad lacked the ability to keep the fires going. Nothing bad happened as Dad was able to maintain his hold over the shadow spirit monster, but the experiment was a failure.
Still the shadow monster spirit under control and safely away from any of your villages on the north-east coast of Lake Eva where the closest accessible village is Blawain. With that thing out of the way, you, Dad and Uncle Evatine decided to strike the shadow monsters before their spirit could brake free or another one was formed.
While Uncle Evatine attacked them along the eastern side of the hills with six scores of the Evalonish Cath Wyrs, you and Dad operated out of Bedygan with three hundred of your Cath Wyrs, most of them Lyltymar as over half of your Cath Wyrs can wield lightning magic these days.
The fighting is glorious! You always love to slay shadow monsters, the most hated of your foes, even more so than that old dumbass Cynfanor. Throughout the late Growth Season and the early Sun Season, you hunt down and kill close to couple hundred shadow monsters personally while Dad and your Cath Wyrs severely thin their numbers, the latter wielding lightning magic and iron spears on top of their own skill and might. Meanwhile Uncle Evatine and his force of Cath Wyrs systemically hunt down the shadow monsters along the east coast.
Oh, more will slip in by the end of the cycle, but for the time being, the east of the Bedygan is clear of shadow monsters. Speaking of that, you notice in general that the ranks of the shadow monsters are thinning. You bet if you keep this up for another handful of cycles, you will be able to hunt down and purge the shadow monsters for good.
A shame that Cadyl and his girl cannot come. You are sure that they would appreciate the opportunity to hunt shadow monsters, Wyrn especially. But Dad is keeping Cadyl safely at home in Avawyr something you cannot hold against him and Wyrn is insistent on staying at Cadyl's side with the exception of a trip to Evalon to make a wedding gift for him and you cannot fault her for that either.
Speaking of the wedding and gifts for Cadyl and Wyrn, you made some of your own. As your brother, Cadyl is definitely getting one and as your chosen and soon to be your marriage-sister, Wyrn is also going to receive a gift from you.

[] A tamed wildcat blessed by you.

You know that Cadyl attempts at jewellery have failed miserably, but Wyrn has informed you of her gift, an iron diadem with gemstones of various colours and engraved with patterns that are blessing to the human eye. Your chosen is getting both Dad and Uncle Evatine to bless her gift and has sought one of your own blessings, a weaker one that would only include Vigour.
You happily granted it to her.
The trip to Sangere has taken interesting turn. You and Dad went down with two score of your Cath Wyrs to collect the first year of children in the tribute and to help establish your presence in that horrid village.
It goes interestingly for a certain usage of the word. You and Edryd try to prop yourself, introducing you as the Goddess of War and Women and introducing your feared Cath Wyrs, warrior-women who should not exist according to the current Sangerish beliefs.
Edryd attempted to use his position and reputation to leverage the existence of yourself and your followers that Sangerish beliefs are wrong and their culture needs to change accordingly as a result of this new information. He even used the idea of following false ideas being the reason why they have suffered overwhelming failure against the northerners.
The Sangerish warrior-farmers were split in half by Edryd's words as slightly over half of them, including the spirit-chosen Gryff, sided with Edryd while another of the spirit-chosen, a young man called Porwyll the Champion, who was backed by the rest of the Sangerish including the last spirit-chosen of Sangere, Warcyn the Slayer.
You do not know if Porwyll generally believed that the old way was better or just cared about his own power, either trying to keep the old system which gave him more power or just using the opportunity to get rid of Edryd and rule Sangere for himself.
You did not know which and frankly, you did not care.
Porwyll challenged Edryd to a duel and the Sangerish reformer accepted as he could not refuse without his reputation collapsing beyond repair.
The duel went poorly. You watched from the side like everyone else as Porwyll battered Edryd's first attack aside before swiftly jabbing his own spear into Edryd's throat before he could react. Not content with that fatal blow, Porwyll ram his spear twice into Edryd's chest.
As Edryd began to fall to the ground, the last of his life leaving his body, you decided that this was so not happened. Reaching out with your divine power, you stuff Edryd full of it. The Sangerish man swiftly became a woman as a tail and set of car ears pop out of his body whilst his wounds fully recovered.
Recovering quickly as Porwyll and the rest of the warrior-farmers looked on, Edryd kick Porwyll's spear, snapping it in two and sending the blade half flying away. As couple of punches and Porwyll falling to his knees, his chest a mangled mess as Edryd did not hold back with her new superhuman strength.
Unwillingly to just let her foe be slain, Edryd decided to humiliate Porwyll by using your curse that you told her about. As much as you had the unnatural nature of a woman being weak, you already stomached the idea that using such a punishment to threaten the warrior-farmers of Sangere with would be needed to change the culture of Sangere.
Having snatched victory twice from the jaws of death and defeat by using your power, Edryd declare that she would reshape Sangere into something better, ripping away by the false truths and beliefs that were holding it back. Using herself and Porwyll as examples, she declared that women had the potential to be strong warriors or weak servants and which they ended up depended on whether or not they followed you.
You almost fully approved of this as you promised yourself that you would stamp out the idea of women being weak within the next generation or two at most. Because that idea was unnatural nonsense as everybody knew women should be strong and beautiful.
Dad was pleased with the results and remained mostly content to stay involved, letting things play out as long as they were acceptable to him.
Between you decided to deal with Esclalf as Edryd became to reshape Sangere to suit her beliefs. With him making every woman pregnant each Cold Season, you could not allow the farming-spirit to continue as he was, not if you were to get the Sangerish to stop treating women as breeding tools and symbols of prestige and worth.
The only question was with how to deal with Esclalf so you could get back in time for the wedding.

"We should do something together," declares Wyrn as she rests her head on Cadyl's lap, gazing upwards at him.
"Like what?" asks Cadyl, not glancing down at his lover as he continues to look at the pearl that he acquired from a Prylakish trader.
"Something fun," says Wyrn, "We cannot go on any raids or fights because the Great One is being protective of you and the measures he is taking to ensure that means we cannot go exploring or adventuring either. The work on the stone wall is do so we cannot help your father with that anymore. With the shadow monster spirit captured and everyone else clearing out the remaining shadow monsters, that will not be an option in the future. Gah! We should be totally be joining on that, but we cannot because we caught by Sangerish."
"Please do not bring up the southerners," mutters Cadyl, frowning at the mention of his old foes, "I rather not think about them."
"You do get rather grouchy whenever they get brought up," agrees Wyrn, "And I just realised that we are not going to be able to fight them either. Ugh, it is so unfair that we do not get to fight the shadow monsters now. With the peace with the Sangerish and the shadow monsters soon to be wiped out, who can we fight? We will not be able to fight anyone in the future and we are missing out right now on what few foes there are left to fight."
"Want to talk to the Dad?" inquires Cadyl.
"Maybe," replies Wyrn thoughtfully, "He did let me go back home to Evalon to make your wedding present. Maybe he would let me go and help hunt down the last shadow monsters. I would probably have to leave you hear and go on my own. You would not mind that you would?"
"No, I got my share of fighting done," answers Cadyl, "I do not enjoy as much as you do anyway so while you will regret missing out, I will not. I will find other ways to spend my time."
"Like getting to know everybody?" inquires Wyrn, "Why are you doing that anyway?"
"I want people to respect me," replies Cadyl, "Sure, I get respected by default due to being the son of the Great One and the Beautiful One, but I want them to personally respect me for who I am, not who I born to. While I earned respect from the Cath Wyrs and the Bedywnish during the fighting against the Sangerish, I am going to earn respect by befriending the people of Avawyr and I will spread a good, respectable reputation to Evalon and Prylake via their traders."
"I can see that," muses Wyrn, "I already got my reputation as the trusted record-keeper of the Noble One and the second greatest warrior after the Mighty One herself. I am content with the reputation and I do not need to prove myself further."
"I do not need to prove myself, but I just do want to," agrees Cadyl, "Speaking of record keeping, thank you for teaching that to Terwyn and myself. It will be very useful in the long run, especially since we are using the same system as Evalon."
"It makes sense to you the same symbols for thing," replies Wyrn with a shrug, "I am just glad that Worwyn is using my old system in Evalon instead of coming up with her own."
"Well, the old records are only useful if she continues to use the old system," points out Cadyl, "If every record-keeper used a different system, then nobody would know what the different records mean."
"True, true," mutters Wyrn as she sits up.
"Speaking of your visit to Evalon, did your crafting of my marriage gift go well?" inquires Cadyl as he watches Wyrn get to her feet.
"It went splendidly," answers as the white-haired girl stretches, "I am certain that you will be greatly pleased by it. Unlike a certain someone who I will not name, I need not mess it up so badly that the entire village and beyond finds out about it. Twice."
"I will get you a proper gift ready," Cadyl reassures her, but he can tell from the wide grin on Wyrn's face that she is not worried or upset, "One of the good things about taking so long to get the marriage done is that we can properly prepared for it and have enough time to overcome any mistake which happen."
"I am not worried," replies Wyrn as she leans forward, deliberately putting her bosom in level with Cadyl's vision, "But we still need to do something fun together."
"Do you want to go swimming?" inquires Cadyl, "Or do you want me to wash you again?"
"I was thinking of a magic duel," says the busty girl, "Only magic. No blessing. No healings until it is over. We will only use our own reserves of spiritual powers."
"That sounds like fun," agrees Cadyl as while he would stand no chance against his lover in a physical fight, they are evenly matched when it comes to the usage of magic.
"We should make bets," says Wyrn as she stand up straight, "When I win, you will give massage me until I tell you to stop."
"And if I win?" asks Cadyl with a wry smile.
"If you somehow win," replies Wyrn before looking thoughtfully, "I will...hmm, we another dozen days until the Harvest Season. If you win, I will keep my breasts at size of my head and half that again."
"Are you sure that you want to agree to that?" asks Cadyl with a frown, "That is pretty big and you would find having them at that size to be awkward at the very least."
"As if I would lose," retorts Wyrn confidently, "I might not be as good at magic as I am in a proper fighting, but I can still kick your butt."
"As much as I would enjoy that result, please consider that suggestion seriously," insists Cadyl, "You will be complaining about them nonstop within three days at most, possible even one."
"Oh yeah," says Wyrn, "How about we double down on the stakes?"
"That is a terrible idea," states Cadyl.
"If I win, you will give me massages on demand," declares Wyrn, ignoring Cadyl's reply, "If you win, I shall keep my bosom at that size until the wedding is over."
"Again, that is a terrible idea," says Cadyl, "You do realise that I stand a chance at beating you in a magical duel right? It will not be a guaranteed win for you like in a normal duel."
"I am confident that I can kick your butt in any kind of duel," replies Wyrn, "In fact, I am so confident, I will extend the terms of my lose agreement until you successful impregnate me."
At that Cadyl just groans.
"Are you sure that Seryn's personality is not bleeding into you via your connection with her?" asks Cadyl, "This is the sort of behaviour that I would expect from her, not you."
"Do you think that is a possibility?" asks Wyrn, suddenly turning serious.
"No," answers Cadyl, "If something like that was possible, it would have been noticed before now. More likely that you have just gained a lot of confidence and that confidence is making you less cautious and careful. Probably due to how strong and powerful you are."
"Okay, nothing to worry about then," replies Wyrn, "Now, do you agree to the bet?"
"Which conditions?" asks Cadyl, hoping that Wyrn will go for the most sensible ones.
"If I win, you will give me massages on demand," answers Wyrn, dashing Cadyl's hopes with her words, "If you win, I shall keep my bosom at the size of my head and half that again until you have successfully impregnated me. After the wedding."
Cadyl feels a flicker of annoyance at his lover getting rid of that loophole. Knowing Wyrn, she will both hate having her chest at that size before long and she will stick to the agreed terms of the bet out of an unshakable sense of duty so that loophole would have been useful in getting the inevitable complaining to stop early. Still, if Wyrn is going to offer those terms, he will not be at fault for her giving herself the short end of the stick. As if he does not massage whenever she asks anyway.
"It is your folly, but I agree," says Cadyl as he gets to his feet.
OOC: The first and second duels were ties, but Cadyl managed to snag a close win in the third. Yes, I did roll out the results of the duel.

As a bit of trivia, the latest side-story will end up becoming a parable about not getting cocky as due to her overconfidence in her abilities, Wyrn screwed herself over after ignoring Cadyl's warnings that she would be screwing herself over.

Pretty much. Cadyl did repeatedly attempt to warn Wyrn, but she was too confident in her victory to actually consider what would happen if she lost and how she was going to deal with the consequences of losing the bet.
