Asher the Insane 89 - Papia Barbera De Wimmer - 03
I couldn't help but feel a rush of adrenaline coursing through my veins."I'm Papia," I said, introducing myself to him."How old are you, Papia? Ten, maybe eleven?" He guessed, his voice filled with a sense of amusement."I'm thirteen already," I replied. My annoyance at that remark was clear."Well, you're a little undernourished, maybe," he remarked, eyeing me up and down. "You're also a little small for your age, and we're not even that far apart age-wise. Around seven years, bit more, bit less, who knows? But it’s not a lot, counting all the longer lived races."I couldn't help but feel a twinge of insecurity at his words. Was I really that small?"Are you alright?" I asked, my concern for him overriding my own self-doubt. I had already let go of the dagger, but it was still lodged inside his chest."It doesn't matter," he said, pulling out the dagger and handing it to me, his clothes rapidly becoming stained with crimson liquid. "Do I have to ask your parents for permission? May
Asher the Insane 90 - Papia Barbera De Wimmer - 04
As I stood behind the divider, I felt a sense of déjà vu as I slipped into yet another dress from the pile of options. The dresses seemed to blend together, with their laces, ribbons, and frills. Would I ever find the perfect one?Once I was dressed, I emerged from behind the divider to show my new elven companion. His pensive expression was enough to tell me that he wouldn't approve of this one either. I felt a pang of disappointment. I had already tried on numerous dresses, but none seemed to "fit" the occasion. It seemed as though no matter what I tried, it just wasn't enough.As I watched him scrutinize not only the dresses but also the shoes, jewelry, gloves, hats, and hairpins that accompanied them, I couldn't help but wonder: were elves really this concerned about creating a fashion faux pas? It was clear that every detail had to be just right.I was exhausted. Even just putting on one of the dresses properly took me at least ten minutes. The corsets were tight; the skirts were

"Shocking, I know. They usually have the longest ears of any elves I have ever seen. Why are yours so stubby? And your eyes have no glow to them. Your human genes must be overwhelmingly strong. It's very strange, to be honest. I mean, no offense, but still," Asher said. "It's just that I've never seen an elf with such short ears before. I thought all elves had long ears. Even people with just a bit of elf genes in them have 'em." "It doesn't matter. This newfound identity isn't really going to change my life," I said. "Well, doesn't make you less of an elf, just so you know, but I thought you were human. I had this idea of great peace between the races when meeting the king. But two of the race they don't seem to trust? Bit controversial, eh?" "I push the divider aside with force and yelled, "and why the hell are we meeting the king?" Asher continued to speak, his words now flowing freely as if he had been waiting for an audience to hear his grand plan. "Did I forget to tell you?
Asher the Insane 92 - Papia Barbera De Wimmer - 06
As I stood at the bottom of the stone stairway, waiting with Asher to meet the king, standing still became a challenge as the discomfort of the clothes he picked for me became apparent. The brown frilly dress he thought looked good was itching my skin like crazy. I couldn't wait to take it off as soon as the job was done. My mind kept wandering off to a blue dress that I had my eyes on, but Asher didn't agree with my choice, so I didn't take it. Looking back, I realized that letting him choose my outfit was a mistake.I kept telling myself that once this job was done, I could always go and buy as many dresses as I wanted. Blue, brown, red, yellow, or pink, it didn't matter. However, standing there waiting for the king, there was a feeling of unease that lingered in the air that I couldn't shake off, which had nothing to do with the dress.We had been waiting for what seemed like an eternity, but it couldn't have been more than an hour, and I could see that Asher was getting restless.
Asher the Insane 93 - Papia Barbera De Wimmer - 07
And speaking of the devil, King Padillia, and a few other companions, were in sight, coming down the steps.The king was a short, bearded man, dressed in silken robes that flowed behind him as he walked. He was flanked by two even shorter men, who carried his robes and looked up at him with a mixture of awe and reverence.For a moment, I was taken aback by the sight. I had heard of King Padillia before, of course, but I had never seen him in person. He looked every inch the king, with his regal bearing and imposing presence.But Asher's reaction was something else entirely. He froze in place, as if he had been struck by lightning. His face was completely blank, and his eyes were wide with shock.I could see cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, and his cheeks were turning a bright shade of red. For a moment, I thought he was going to pass out.Slowly, Asher turned to me, and I saw that his face was completely washed of any emotion. He looked like a man in shock, unable to process w
Asher the Insane 94 - In the King's Castle
As the King and Asher stood before the portrait of the late Adalier Padillia, the previous king, the atmosphere was thick with unspoken tension. The King's voice quivered as he struggled to find the right words, his mind clouded with a sense of unease. He had a question burning within him, one that he knew he had to ask, but he didn't know how to go about it. "You... um, you two are not related by blood, are you?" The words finally escaped the King's lips, the question hanging heavily in the air. Asher responded with a joking tone, trying to lighten the mood. "What gave you that idea? No, Papia is not my daughter by blood, but I love her just as if she were." The words sounded convincing, but the King felt a twinge of sadness as if in his heart he knew that it was a lie. In Papia's mind, she was cursing Asher, so convincingly lying to the king that just for a moment, she even believed what he was saying, having to remind herself again that he was lying through his teeth. Trying to
Asher the Insane 95 - Papia's... Chase?
The moment I stepped into my room, I felt a wave of overwhelming sensation wash over me.The furniture was adorned with gold, and even the chandelier was covered to the brim with gemstones. It was gaudy, to say the least, and I couldn't help but feel like it was all too much to handle.As I kicked off my shoes and let my dress loose, I made my way over to the bed. It was like a fortress, decked out with pillows and other fancy accessories. However, it was surprisingly hard. Most likely because it had probably not been slept in very much. Still, it was better than sleeping outside on the hard ground.As I lay there with my eyes closed, I started thinking about my life. Sure, the decor was a bit outdated, but I couldn't deny the fact that having servants and gold at my disposal would be kind of nice. I could get used to this lifestyle if I had to.I dozed off. I don't know for how long, but my dreams were interrupted by the sound of something smashing on the ground in the room next door
Asher the Insane 96 - The Dragon's Lair
Papia's eyes widened in fear as she watched Asher approach the dragon. "What on earth would he want to confront a dragon for?!" she thought to herself. "Get the hell out of here before that monster eats you!" But Asher seemed undaunted by the creature's size and ferocity.Papia continued to cower, keeping a safe distance from the dragon."Come on, girl," Asher thought, already noticing the hiding girl, "you live in a fantasy world like this and you still think dragons, of all creatures, are mindless monstrous beasts who’ll just eat you? Jeez, you still got a lot to learn about how these things work."Asher seemed to be quite knowledgeable about dragons, though. He wanted to remind Papia that in many works of fantasy, fiction in general where they appear, dragons are often depicted as the most intelligent creatures around."Proud, sometimes arrogant, and the primary source of scalie smut out there," he remarked to himself in his mind.Despite this knowledge, Asher wasn't taking any cha
