King's Mulligan [Interactive Project]

[ThreadLurkingComorant]

 Your mind immediately wanders back.

To the start of this all.

Before you embraced knighthood.

Before your guild burned down.

The everything you once knew, and the world that was lost.

His old jacket that he wore with pride.

The broken harmonica that sang through torn lungs.

Played his heart out every night.

His old jacket that he wore with pride.

That he only gave up to warm you through the night.

He came from the earth with darkened blood.

The face he shared with you, his chosen form.

Not a parody, but tribute.

Embracing the family he loved.

The life you carry, his parting gift

The guilt that remains, the fire you need.

It should not be possible but…

If the witch’s words are true.

A reunion at hand is the power you seek.

???: …’Scuse me? Someone there?

Your heart nearly stops, each breath becoming harder



???:  Miss?

He leans in closer to get a good look at you and is immediately startled.

???: Mum…? No, that’s absolutely not right…

You feel yourself struggling to get anything out.

You should say something but.. Where do you start?

There’s so much you want to catch him up on..

You gotta hug him just to be sure this is real…

You reach one hand out.

???: You need to explain yourself, who are you?

Tiles: Jackie….

You can see everything piece together in his head, his eyes widening.

Jackie: ….. Tiles?! That really you?

You give a gentle nod.

Tiles: It’s been a long time…

Jackie: No kidding, you grew so much… look like a knight…

Tiles: Mm, I’ve had plenty of years to do so…

Jackie: Even your accent’s changed some, I don’t think I understand what’s happening but…

Jackie: Did… did something happen to me?

Jackie: Last I remember is us getting caught up in the crossfire.

Tiles: Back in swords…

Jackie: Thought I was a goner but… you’re here! And I’m here too right?

Jackie: I….I'm a little lost but I'm glad you're okay after all that...

So much to say to him….

Now might be your only chance.
