Mick suggested that this might be better as a big roleplay.

I guess I need a vote then. XD

Would you rather me write the story out or should this be a roleplay?

Keep in mind that your character will most likely get killed or turned into an infected, but this way you could give them a fighting chance. The Deadly Trio will win no matter what and characters will get killed, but remember this is a "what if" story so it's not canon and your character does not genuinely die in the Forest.

If we did it as a roleplay, we'd most likely do them as individual roleplay battles. So you would pick who you wanted to go up against and we'd do a separate roleplay (either on this topic or you could make your own). That way, as many people that wanted to participate can, and all the stories would be interconnected so, say, Iugulare isn't fighting five people all at once. It would be a series of events.

I need victims for this story! Please give me a character or two that my Deadly Trio can infect or kill. This is a hypothetical story so they are not going to be really killed off, but I want to include your characters in the story so it's not just about Quad. Thank you

"What if Iugulare was successful in her domination of the world? What if Quad was ultimately defeated? What if the Twin Gods could not stop Iugulare from infecting the Endless Forest? What would happen next?"

I'm still working on plans for this story but I thought it would be fun and interesting to write a scenario where Iugulare actually won. I think it will help with character development too, since of the three Deadly Trio members, she needs the most work.

I did want to ask, however, to those who know the characters well...since this is a hypothetical story, do you have any requests as to what happens in the story? Do you want to see anything in particular happen to Quad? Do you want Iugulare, Anirapio, or Nekumbra do anything specific that you've always wanted to see them do (kill a character in a particular way, do something particularly menacing, say a witty punch line)?

I thought it would be interesting to see what you guys would like done. The story isn't fully set in stone (mostly the 'aftermath', not the actual fight between Quad and the Deadly Trio that leads to his defeat), so I can really use any suggestions at all

Also since this is a hypothetical situation and it looks pretty grim for the Endless Forest deer, if anyone wants me to kill their character in the story, just tell me which character, who you want them to get killed by [Iugulare, Anirapio, Nekumbra], and in what way

It'll get written soon.

Victims so far:

ChickenWhite's The One Behind The Mirror (Notes - must break the mirror to get to her, she is mute, blind and practically immobile in the real world outside the mirror.) [Nekumbra]
Freyja's Brynhried (Notes - appear in dream as one of his parents) [Iugulare]
Terabetha's Teradeer [Iugulare]
Mauvable's Cadaver [Iugulare]
Mr. Sanguine's Mr. Sanguine [Anirapio]
SightHoundLady's Herla [Anirapio]
Wotsit's Iri [Nekumbra]
Bluejay17's Awilda [Anirapio]
Zergarikiaka's Mar Sart [Nekumbra]
Zergarikiaka's Darkweaver (Notes - may infect instead of kill) [Iugulare]

------------------------------

"I won?", she questioned, looking all around. The infection was spreading rapidly, those who had fled would be easily overtaken, those in hiding would be found quickly. It would only be a matter of moments before the entire Endless Forest was under her control. The infected deer were already lining up around Iugulare, awaiting her commands.

Quad was dead. The Twin Gods were no more. And there was nothing to stop her from galactic victory.

"I won! It'll all be mine!!", Iugulare cried out ecstatically, standing upright on two paws, she reached toward the stars, grasping toward them in anticipation. She began to cackle loudly.

"It'll all be mine!!"

------------------------------

Moments earlier, the Twin Gods sat on their hill, looking down at a group of deer who had gathered. They paid their respects to the god deer, while chatting among themselves.

"Hmm...", Michael made a face.

"What is it, Michael?", Auriea asked him.

"I'm not sure. Smells like...the rock hounds are close by.", Michael spoke.

The god doe tilted her head, "But that's impossible. The rock hounds were dealt with*", she said.

"Then...it's...", Michael spoke, his eyes widening as he turned to the distance. "Oh no...", he spoke.

"What?", Auriea questioned, and turned her head as well. Then she saw it. Several deer were approaching, black goo growing on their bellies. Soon behind them were the Deadly Trio - Iugulare, Anirapio, and Nekumbra. The trio was already working on an assault on the Twin Gods.

"We need Quad!", they both spoke in unison.

Michael nodded, "I'll go. I've locked onto him.", as he stood.

"Be careful, Michael!", Auriea nuzzled him, and turned to speak to the deer close by, "Listen, everyone! You are in grave danger!"

As she spoke, Michael reshaped into a dove, and took off toward the Ruins. He knew Quad was there...

(To be continued...)



(* Assume at this point all of the rock hounds are dead, although in reality there are still 17 rock hounds left in the Forest)
