Arthur Pendragon cursed, like, the 20th times today. He didn’t count, but he was sure that in this week the number of swears that came from his mouth was more than his last 25 years added together.How did it end up like this?One day, his master and advisor, Merlin, told him that he needed to go and perform a mission. It’s very normal, he had done dozens of missions with the accompany of the Knights of the Round Table. However, this time Merlin asked him to go alone. The target was Morgan le Fay, a powerful witch who held a dark secret about Britain's royal family. To keep the secret from falling to the wrong ears, King Arthur must do this mission by himself.After searching for a long time, Arthur found Morgan le Fay in a castle on a remote island. The witch revealed to him that she was Morgana Pendragon and the elder paternal half-sister of Arthur.Arthur: “Why did you do all this?”“WHY? You dare to ask me why? This is all your fault!”“I don’t understand.”“I’m the legitimate daughter of King Uther and Queen Vivienne! I’m the rightful heir. Not like you! You’re just a bastard, a shameful error of our father who lusted after the wife of his subordinate…”She clenched her fist”… But Merlin has made a prophecy that you and your descendant will lead Britain to a new era. And my father believed that damned old man. He locked me and my mother away, told others that we were dead. I managed to escape, but my mom… I swore that one day I would get back what’s rightful mine and became the ruler of Britain.”Arthur shook his head: “You can never be King.”“I know, but he can.” Morgana smiled wickedly, pointing at a mirror. The magic tool didn’t show her reflection, but a boy who was playing with a wooden sword.“Who is he?”“Oh, you don’t see the similarity, do you? This is the son…” she stopped a bit, before throwing out a piece of shocking news, “… of us.”“What the hell are you talking about?”“Poor brother, you haven’t realized it yet. Do you remember the day you marry Guinevere eight years ago? It’s not her who consummated the marriage with you – that’s me. I’m the woman who took your virginity.

Colm's party splits one silver a month. So when he overhears about a dungeon nobody's logged yet, he doesn't wait for the rest of his crew. He grabs the party healer, Agnes, burns their emergency teleport scroll, and goes in.
They come out with more gold than any of them have ever seen. Agnes comes out a little different.
She cooks better now. She's friendlier, too. Much friendlier. And there's something purple living in her that's been sealed in a box for a thousand years and is very, very bored.
Aldous was an alchemist once. And after relentless experiments he's now a colony of slugs who can wear anyone he likes, and he's decided Colm is the closest thing he has to a friend. He's promised to let his hosts keep control most of the time.
He's lying.
The clerk counted my pay out one coin at a time, slowly, like each one hurt her personally.
“Eleven copper,” she said.
“The posting said fifteen.”
“The farmer docked you four. For the hat.”
“The goat ate my hat.”
“He says it gave her a stomachache.”
The farmer told us she was a very special goat. He made us walk ten steps behind her the whole way so she wouldn't get nervous. She was not nervous. She ate my hat, and then, apparently, she charged me for it.
I scooped the coin…
