The 17th was the day they came and treated for the brown recluses, no wonder I got derailed. <br /><br />So, back on track. Yes I noticed he's an Everard! That's what really made me notice him, actually. And hmmm...a time traveling father? I wonder who that might be :D<br /><br />Oh wow, the duke turned nasty there in a trice. Not much into seduction much, is he? <br /><br />Aha! So he *is* Kieran's son! See? I knew I liked him :D :D And that clears up the duke mentioning killing children previously :-/ <br /><br />I like your conception of the gods, and the tie-in to Greek history. It was interesting reading about the seers and oracles.simsl3gacieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04158416809761243820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436869084648400373.post-82074356503678143432014-06-27T10:57:48.075-07:002014-06-27T10:57:48.075-07:00Nope, not smooth at all. =(

Your concerns about the duke and Georgia are well founded also, and I’m pretty impressed that you thought about it. =D In the current state of the kingdom, the duke CAN do pretty much anything he wants. He rules these islands after all, and with his close relationship with the king (which hasn’t exactly come up yet, whoops) he wouldn’t even face repercussions from it. Poor George indeed.<br /><br />Thanks for reading, Nirar! <3Buckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791098360536318915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436869084648400373.post-19679924731178777392014-06-27T10:56:26.592-07:002014-06-27T10:56:26.592-07:00LOL, yeah, there are a lot of prophecies flying ar...LOL, yeah, there are a lot of prophecies flying around, haha. Who knows though, lol? ^_^<br /><br />Yes, Griffin is Kieran and Delilah’s son, and yes, Kieran is still around, but no, he hasn’t “lost his mind” exactly. He IS losing touch a bit (or seems to be), but I’ll go into more detail about him later.<br /><br />How did they get to this time? XD That’s a *very* good question! I won’t answer you now, but I will say that Kieran is a bit of a wild card still (and may have had something to do with it). <3<br /><br />Oh, same for the Delia and the Gods! I don’t want to give away my plot, hehe, but I can promise that all of your (really, really good) questions will be answered. Someday.

XD<br /><br />Ari. <3 I love him too. He's a fun cat in game. He has the proud trait I think it's called, so he acts a bit stuck up.

As I mentioned in an earlier reply, I adored Griffin’s father (he was one of my most favorite sims ever), so I do of course favor his son a bit when writing about my characters. But honestly he’s a sweet sim in game too. Very friendly and good natured.<br /><br />A match between Griffin and the duke, eh? =D Depending on the weapons at play, it would be a very one-sided battle, lol. (Griffin with magic, the duke with his sword.)<br /><br />Thank you for reading! <3Buckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791098360536318915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436869084648400373.post-23794456727320926372014-06-27T10:51:08.673-07:002014-06-27T10:51:08.673-07:00Hahaha! *ponders* I hadn’t considered that at all,...Hahaha! *ponders* I hadn’t considered that at all, but I can totally picture it now… (The warrior son killing the duke.)

He hasn’t lost his mind in the sense that he’s gone crazy and can’t think rationally, but he has lost it in the sense that he’s struggling to maintain a grasp on reality. As in, he perceives/feels things differently now, and it’s causing him to lose touch slightly. I *will* be going into more detail about that in the future though, I promise. =)<br /><br />Yes. Kieran is definitely still Griffin’s father. <3<br /><br />Aww, I’m kind of proud of her too, hehe. That’s a really good way to phrase that, heaven. =) However, she does have a long road yet to travel, not the least of which is due to the Gods’ meddling.<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting! =DBuckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791098360536318915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436869084648400373.post-77118630367744314702014-06-27T10:47:57.795-07:002014-06-27T10:47:57.795-07:00LMAO! *huggles Sunny* Don’t take this the wrong wa...LMAO! *huggles Sunny* Don’t take this the wrong way, but I’m rather pleased that you didn’t get the reference! I wanted it to be a surprise, at least for some people, so yay! <3<br /><br />Kieran is not a god, per se, but we *may* see him again. Someday, lol. I still have a lot of plotting to do. =D<br /><br />No, Georgia did not deserve that. No one does, but yes, naïve is a very good way to phrase her overall attitude so far.<br /><br />As for the duke, he knew that there were three kids, but he assumes that they all died, as do the handful of gods who ordered their deaths.<br /><br />Delia’s motivations have not come up yet in the story, so I haven’t settled on them 100%. It is definitely in her nature to be kind and save the lives of innocent children, but I believe there is more to it. When it will come up is an entirely different question, lol, but I hope that I can work it in eventually.<br /><br />Thanks for the wonderful comment, Sunny! *hugs*Buckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791098360536318915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436869084648400373.post-47960602069823754672014-06-27T10:44:15.005-07:002014-06-27T10:44:15.005-07:00Thank you!

So I’m glad that you like it so far. ^_^<br /><br />Yeah, I was sort of surprised too. I actually shot an entirely different version of that scene, but when I went to write it I just couldn’t imagine Georgia consenting to sleeping with him on the fly like that. So retook the pictures and wrote it out this way. I hope it was believable at least! =)<br /><br />The duke is definitely used to getting (or taking) what he wants, and her rejection did not please him. He probably wouldn’t have resorted to force if it had played out differently (as in, she had let him down more gently), but she wasn’t having any of it and it irritated him, to put it lightly.<br /><br />Yes, poor Georgia! But at least she has Griffin. =)<br /><br />Thanks for reading!Buckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791098360536318915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436869084648400373.post-2858175145668584012014-06-27T10:41:19.007-07:002014-06-27T10:41:19.007-07:00LOL, yeah.

I studied the ancient Greeks quite a lot in school, and I always found their legends so fascinating, so yeah, I’ll probably draw from that a bit when writing about these deities. And yes, they are definitely of the meddlesome variety, and they are very interested in Georgia, which does not bode well for her. However, she does have some powerful friends on her side, but more on that later.<br /><br />Hahaha! I need to pick your brain, teal, because you keep giving me really interesting ideas! ^_^ I won’t say whether she’s pregnant or not yet, but it would be… unusual for a woman to get pregnant after only one time, no? Definitely possible, but unlikely I’d think.<br /><br />Regardless, I am greatly amused that you don’t want the prophecy fulfilled, although that WOULD be an awesome way to stick it to the duke, hehe. And no, Amara’s man-friend is not the sage, but that’s actually a really good idea! I wish I’d thought of it myself, LOL!<br /><br />Thanks for the comment! *hugs*Buckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791098360536318915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436869084648400373.post-82950522302986909692014-06-20T15:07:14.874-07:002014-06-20T15:07:14.874-07:00Aww, poor George. What a way to find out the Duke... Aww, poor George. What a way to find out the Duke's true character. He's not even smooth about it. :/ And very interesting back story for Griffin. I'm glad that he likes/loves George, but there sure is a lot of stuff between them and happily ever after! lol <br /><br /> I'm also slightly worried about what happens if George is pregnant with the Duke's son. Will he try to keep the baby? Try to keep her and baby? Being a Duke, he could pretty much do what he wants.<br /><br /> Nirarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15253184399668018141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436869084648400373.post-22644778292075549512014-06-18T13:24:29.572-07:002014-06-18T13:24:29.572-07:00That Duke is an absolute ********, poor Georgia ha...That Duke is an absolute ********, poor Georgia having to go through all that and I'm horribly afraid that she will have the warrior son, given all the prophecies flying around there. <br /><br />So Griffin is Delilah and Keiran's son from your previous legacy? And Keiran's somewhere around but has lost his mind? But, if the Duke had the other two of those triplets killed (and I assume believes he had Griffin killed too), then how did they get to this time? Of course the other burning question is why did Delia save him, and why did the other gods want him and his siblings dead?AliHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15088235841224977814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436869084648400373.post-55485522768883283792014-06-17T23:10:25.388-07:002014-06-17T23:10:25.388-07:00I hope Georgia doesn't have the Duke's son...I hope Georgia doesn't have the Duke's son, I want her to have a girl just as an added extra stuff you to the Duke. However, if oracles and Gods are going to make it happen in return for a dirty deed on the Duke's part... *sigh* I just hope everything turn out alright.<br /><br />I hope that the Duke gets horribly hurt in an 'accident', and I hope Griffin stays with Georgia despite the Gods being against them.

I know you said previously that there isn't all that much "linkage" between your previous legacies and this one but Kieran still is his father right? <br /><br />I'm proud of Georgia, for recognizing her heart and not falling into bed with the duke willingly because of her infatuation with him. However, I hurt for her and what she must be going through. She's going to have a long road ahead of her I imagine, as her life continues. <br /><br />And I agree, the demigods and "heroes" of Greek legacy almost never had a happy ending.

Perhaps she was a bit naive when she went in, but that? *smh *Down with the Duke! And as I've arrived on his royal assiness- did he assume there were only two children to kill, or did he assume that he killed Griffin as well in his bid to fulfill the terms of the bribe? <br /><br />Hmmmm... Delia has indeed gone through quite a bit to keep Griffin alive. To what end, I wonder? Just to be kind? Or will we find out about that later on?<br /><br />That's a mighty promise Griffin has just made to Georgia, whom the gods are toying with currently. I *really* hope he can carry it out.
