THIRD ORDER ♛ ANONYMOUS TEXT

[Logan has been the King of Albion for twelve years. His reign is at an end, however - his sister staged a coup and will take the throne as soon as he returns to Albion. Logan isn't upset with her - if anything, he's relieved that he no longer has to deal with everything. He's relieved that he doesn't have to face down the threat of incoming darkness - a threat he's known about for four years and hasn't been able to stop. He's confident that his sister can handle the throne, but it isn't a position he ever would have wanted to put her in. He does care about her in his own stunted way, after all.

It's been nearly eleven years since Logan's mother, the previous Queen, died. She was the one who united Albion under a monarchy and ruled for fifty years of peace and prosperity. Yes, there were issues - any country with 6.5 million people is bound to have them - but she handled them all as best she could and will most likely go down in history as a benevolent, wonderful monarch. She would be disappointed in him; Logan's positive of that much. He started his rule as a monarch dedicated to his people, but circumstances drove him to become a tyrant.

He's spent the day being far more subdued than usual, keeping to himself and occasionally examining the 'Gear, but it takes hours for Logan to finally get up the courage to actually post to the network, even anonymously. He's adapted to this world far better than he ever thought he would, and now that he has adapted, he's finding that he rather likes Johto. He doesn't have the same responsibilities and expectations placed on him. He's free. It's not something he ever would have thought he wanted back home, but it's something he's finding that he's desperately needed this entire time.]


How do you deal with failure? How do you deal with not living up to the expectations set for you?

I believe there are some monarchs or rulers here. How do you deal with the people of your nation despising you for what you've done, even if what you've done was for their own good?


[...He's kind of the most obvious anon. Just let him pretend, alright.]

[[....Logan, what the hell

you're starting to sound genuinely endearing, what with all that talk about your family

clearly this place is doing something to her head!]]


Well, I still think it's fortunate that no-one is clamoring to make you King of Johto, but it's nice to know you're trying.

[[...that

may have been said with a hint of a smile, Logan

you're just....you're kind of endearing, alright. It's weird.]]


....for what it's worth, if you're truly, legitimately determined to atone....I believe you could. You just need to be given the opportunity.

[[ugh shush smiling is for people who don't have rebellions to plan and industrial lords to murder and-

....shush]]


That's implying I'd allow it, anyway.

[[But that was more teasing rather than malicious and wow okay

she thought she might have been able to get things back on track but then you had to do that....stupid smile

oh no

you're.....you're cute.....]]


I do believe it. It won't be easy and it will take time, but there are plenty of things that can be done, if you use your imagination. So use your time in Johto to think about it, even if people say we won't remember our time here. They could be wrong, after all.

Yet you must still have had to explain your army's disappearance. Was the excuse you told truly that much more believable than what you witnessed?

I can't answer the expectations part cause I'm trying to figure that out myself, but uh. If I fail at one thing, I try something else. I figure there's something out there I don't suck at, you know?

Though I don't think you can just stop being a ruler, huh? Did you tell them it's for their own good?

[Hmn. This may take a while for him to type out. Lots of stopping and starting going on here as he tries to figure out what to say and all.]

I was never that good with people, but it turns out that I do okay when it comes to dragons. Toothless was my first friend, but that didn't matter much to my dad, see as the people of Berk had been fighting dragons for generations. When he learned that I knew where the dragons' nest was, he locked Toothless to a boat and everyone who could fight sailed out to raid the nest. The other teens and I were able to fly there on the dragons they had been using to teach us how to fight.

By the time we got there, the Red Death was already on a rampage. My friends were able to distract it until I got Toothless back, and then it was just a matter of knowing what to do and keeping out of range until the right moment. Dragons aren't fireproof on their insides, and with one that big, the damage was pretty serious. I thank the gods that I was the only one majorly injured. It could have been much worse.
