<span class="mu-i">The Stilladìa takes the silver sphere out of her mouth. She holds it in her fingers as she peers into its depths. Then a soft arm made out of sheer darkness, with golden motes of light swimming through and around it, wraps around her neck, pulling her against a tall and warm body.</span>
<span class="mu-i">“You are still up,” Helias says, his deep voice reverberating through her chest in a way that always makes her smile.</span>
<span class="mu-i">“I was thinking,” she replies, turning her face to put a kiss on his lips. They share in the kiss for a few more moments, and then the Stilladìa withdraws with a satisfied sigh. With her free hand she cups her lover’s cheek, her alabaster fingers onyx nails a stark contrast to Helias’ smooth, liquid body. “How is progress on the Etemenanki?”</span>
<span class="mu-i">“I wanted to think about it,” he answers with a chuckle, leaning into her touch and closing his glowing eyes. “But the work proceeds. I also wanted to see you. What are you thinking about?”</span>
<span class="mu-i">“No surprises here,” she shows him the silver sphere and he nods, recognising it. “Old mistakes.”</span>
<span class="mu-i">“I see. Want to think about old mistakes together?”</span>
<span class="mu-i">The Stilladìa smiles, quickly peeks his cheeks and put the sphere between their lips.</span>

Thank you for playing! The narrative of <span class="mu-i">Silver Knight Quest</span>’s <span class="mu-s">first</span> thread wraps up with this update, but we have a bit of space yet before the bump limit pushes us into retirement zone. I wanted to use this space to thank you all for playing, reading, providing insight, solving puzzles and rolling. Yes, even those natural 1s.
I hope I can grow better as a QM and as a writer for the next thread. I have a couple ideas on how to do so.
It has been an incredible journey for me but I will save the truly sappy stuff for the very few last messages. Also, before I start to get the archive ready (remember to vote when the link is up, please!) I have a few questions:>Is there a part of the Quest you really enjoyed? Which one?>Which parts of the Quest could use improvement?
>What made you ‘click’ with Argia?>Other than our beloved silver-haired dunce, is there another character (or characters) that stood out to you? Why?>free space! ask anything about lore, characters, mechanics, ideas, inspirations, or provide suggestionsAnd once more, thank you so much for playing.
