Opening post by Lady Eddara Tallhart · #1
Before anyone says it cannot be done, fetch me three horses, a lantern, and the nearest idiot. My level nineteen keep has reached the part of the anime where raw power stops carrying the episode; 35,155 power is a respectable opening card, but the walls need a training arc, a montage, and someone willing to begin before supper.
Yesterday I swore my sword to [ENVY], which feels less like a finale than the first episode after the mentor notices the hero is holding the blade wrong. I am treating the oath as a practical lesson: better drills, better preparation, and no waiting for luck to explain why the gate is still standing.
You should judge a long-running saga by what its heroes do between battles; give me repaired harness, wet boots accounted for, and one stubborn exercise repeated until it works. My keep has not become legendary overnight, but every proper training arc starts with somebody carrying the first load, and one spare.
