“And when her senses return to her, she found herself in a small chamber lined with rich, black curtains. She wasn’t afraid, because she didn’t know how to be. For— for years inside that place, she just fought for consciousness.”
People always get on Barold’s case for begging Taako to kill him when he could have just jumped off the ship, but consider this: he already forgot about the Starblaster. Which tracks, since part of Merle’s forgetting process was being confused about the ship.
Barry literally didn’t remember that he was on the ship where he’d lived for 100 years, but he still remembered Taako and Lup, because he’s a good good loving boy.
Here’s the second batch of sketches that went out with Liches Get Kisses stickers! Thank you all for your great suggestions! I still have more stickers to send so if you don’t see your idea here, it might still be coming.
You guys are amazing!! I didn’t know if I’d sell out of all of them this month but it looks like that might happen, which is great because then it’ll be so satisfying donating that big lump of money at one time. Grab it before it’s gone! 😀
When the light fades, the column and the shadowy beings who climbed out of it are gone, and hovering where it once stood is Lup, phantasmal and resplendent, her outstretched palms still coated in flame.
Barry walks over to her, and he’s — shaking, and he says, “Lup, when I was a lich, I knew you were gone. And it was more than I could bear. And when I was alive, I didn’t know you’d ever existed which was more than I could bear, I didn’t… I— I knew I’d see you again, I… I wanna… I’m gonna— I’m gonna blow myself up just so I can be a lich and h-hold you again. H— hold on.”
It’s like a bomb goes off in your hands. There’s a sonic boom— a— a wave of force that tears through the room
And when the light fades, the column and the shadowy beings who climbed out of it are gone, and hovering where it once stood is Lup, phantasmal and resplendent, her outstretched palms still coated in flame. And as this lich turns toward you, Taako, you hear your sister’s voice
