So what's going on with finding the Shield? I posted the part where Trixie sent a message to the Resistance. I believe Connie was supposed to get this message, but I haven't seen anything more since then. I also feel like I haven't seen Connie lately. Has anyone else seen her? The other thing is that I'm assuming the Resistance is going to want to destroy the Shield. The problem though is that Trixie's family would not be on board with this. Their job is to protect it after all. I think the most likely way of convincing them would be to have the person who gets the power be someone in the Woods family. Does anyone object to this? I think it would be the most in character thing. To be clear though, I'm totally open to finding a loophole or going a bit OOC if people to object.

Hmm, I think there was a prophecy about destroying the relics or whatever. The Crown had to go into a human (Ocean), the Sheild had to go into the bark of unknown, and the Sword had to go into a wise wolf. I may have gotten them mixed up, but according to the prophecy, that was the only way for peace or something.
But Mina had the Crown power for a while, so maybe the people in the Wood family break the Sheild after learning the power would go into one of them, and then the Resistance has to try to take that power? Or something? But then again, prophecies don't always come true, so we could just forget about the prophecy. I dunno.

Top!!!!

What is "the bark of unknown"? I hadn't heard this prophecy, and it totally changes things. The Woods family wouldn't want the power in and of itself, it's just that they have a duty to protect it, and if it's in one of them it would be easier to protect.

I have no idea what the bark of unknown is. But the prophecy is under the diplomatic meeting thread, I think.

Wait!! Maybe the Sheild is supposed to go into someone from the Wood family!!! Because it's the bark of unknown, which is on trees, which make wood, which is the last name of the Wood family!!!
Maybe it doesn't change things! We might have to have the Resistance give it's power to them!! Do you think that might work?
(March 25, 2018 - 10:10 am)
I actually thought the same thing when I read that! I see no reason why the bark if unknown couldn't mean the Woods family.

I don't think the Resistance would want to destroy the Shield, but they would want to drain its power. About the prophecy, it's more of a riddle, and I would ask Mina. She's the one who wrote it. Here I copy-and-paste the riddle thing as dictated by Alexandria/Marie.
She lets out a huff of breath before continuing. “This entire time I’ve been away, that’s been my sole study. The Crown, the Shield, and the Sword, which is obviously in Catastrophe’s possession. I’m not sure about the Shield, but you have the Crown’s power. I read in ancient texts that in order to return the powers to their rightful and non-useful places (in order to make them inactive, of course) you have to drain the power from each artefact and place it in something. There’s a riddle that basically says it won’t work unless the Sword’s power is placed in the Bark of the Unknown, the Shield is placed in the Wolf of the Wise, and the Crown is placed in the Human’s Trust. You’ve done so but placed it in yourself. You’re not human.
There are so many wats to interpret this. The Wolf might not be a wolf (Wolf means hunter and can be a name or nickname for a variety of people and things; it could be a fighter among monks like Catsclaw's charrie). The Human's Trust might not be a human (something trusted by humans, a person, an object, a bank). The Bark of the Unknown is completely unknown. It could be three humans, a human, a wolf and a tree, three nonhumans, two humans and something else...
Of course, if our charries don't know about the riddle, it doesn't matter.
I haven't seen Connie, now that you mention it, not here or on the CB. I wonder where she is? I've been distracted lately, but I'll PM her on NaNo. Assuming she hasn't left...

Oh, dang it! Sybill's bark of the unknown idea was so cool! Should be decide what the wolf of the wise is then?
(March 25, 2018 - 9:02 pm)
Oh, it's still possible. I'm just pointing out that so many other things are possible, too.
(March 26, 2018 - 7:46 am)
But the Sword is the thing that's supposed to go into the bark of the unknown. I mean, unless we want to say the manuscript had gotten mixed up?
(March 26, 2018 - 11:24 am)
Honestly, it’s open for interpretation. We’ve already decided where the Crown currently goes, to Ocean*, and our general outline was that the Woodhenas were involved, and that Moonshadow was the Wolf of the Wise. But that can totally change.
*Human’s Trust: Here’s why Ocean currently has that power. Trust means reliability, truth, ability, and strength (and other things, but we’re using this for now). Ocean is 9 years of age, and currently doesn’t understand the full concept of trust, and the opposite, betrayal. This magic has been placed in her because it trusts her; and she is slowly learning to trust it. Trust is hard to come by, especially in individuals like Mina, because of all of the things they have been through and things they have seen. That is why a majority of characters on Kyngdom usually have the description “Doesn’t trust easily” when describing their personalities. But this magic knows that Ocean is still naive and pure, so it wants to put its trust in her, hoping that she lets it become the first thing she decides to trust. The magic also has a slight reassurance that she will use it for good. After all, trust isn’t the only reason that the magic is in her now. But more of that will be explained later.

AHHHHHH!!!!!! I'M SO SORRY GUYS!!!!! No, I haven't left, I've just been really busy lately but I have more time for this now so I'll try to catch up. So sorry Trixie!
(March 29, 2018 - 8:20 pm)
Also, where did you post the message for Connie? I can't find it anywhere, sorry XD
(March 29, 2018 - 8:34 pm)
It's near the end of page 38 on the Hello it's me thread. I'm reposting the message here though to save time. It was given to you by a bird, who will wait for a return message.
Dear Resistance member,
I might not agree with you on all principles, but I do think you’re at least roughly on the right side. I received information that the Crown was put in danger recently. I’m assuming you know what Crown I’m talking about. You have the ability to protect the other Artifacts*. I don’t know whether you would though. I know where the Shield is. I could put it in your hands. I have little to no reasons to trust you with it. Give me a reason, and I could help you with your fight against Catastrophe.

Where should I RP this? Maybe on the ball thread, since that's where we are, right? Or should I make a new thread?
