## Chapter 4

## **About**

## **Summary**

The crew of the *Saad* return to Midas with Elian. The land, buildings, and even the ocean around Midas seem to glitter a golden color. According to rumor, Elian and the rest of the royal family even have golden hearts and golden blood. Each of the royal families of the 100 kingdoms has a legend like this attached to it: a special ability or attribute that sets them apart from other people. Elian’s crew, who know the importance of this legend, keep secret that Elian’s blood is simply red.

Elian meets with his family in the throne room, and his parents give him a bracelet to express happiness that he’s home. King Radames, his father, wants Elian to take his duties to Midas more seriously, as he will be king one day. However, Elian’s little sister Amara wants to become queen more than he wants to become king. The king also admonishes Elian for his desire to roam the seas hunting sirens. The queen tells Elian to get some rest for the ball, which they have planned in his honor for the following day.

Vice doyens are just like they sound, they are the right hand of their respective doyens and the most trusted for their leaders. One for each realm and doyen.

The consort is like the peace keeper between the kingpins and the doyens they know of all the kingpins locations but have a curse that does not allow them to disclose the location. It is assumed there is only one for all realms, she often is at **consort HQ** in Creije.

### **Kingpin**

The kingpins are evil magic dealers and there is one to counter the doyen of each realm. Which is a fancier way of saying there are three of them, they are in charge of the underbosses and it is impossible to find them since only the consort knows their locations. A kinpin's reign ends when they are killed unlike the doyens who are elected.

### **Consort Secretary**

The secretary of the consort HQ that keeps things orderly at the building.

### **Underbosses**

The underbosses are the many people most trusted by the kingpins, instead of having one for every realm there is one for each city. They each rule over all the **buskers** and people working under the kingpin, the most ruthless of evils.

Amity guards are basically the police, they work tirelessly to rid the world of buskers, underbosses and all evil.

### **Buskers**

Buskers are a group of orphans taken in by the kingpin and forced to sell **black magic** and perform for money. Once they grow to 18 if they have the money they are free to move away and have freedom but most do not make enough and end up serving the kingpin and the underbosses for the rest of their lives.

### **Crafters**

Mostly believed to be fairy tales and extinct the crafters are normally treated like objects by people in power. Their magic and power is used as a trading chip to get more gold for whoever owns them. They have their own hidden societies and lore separate from the humans.

The man tells them about the Crystal of Keto, which is said to have been crafted by the “original families” and is powerful enough to defeat the Sea Queen. He tells them that the Sea Queen has a stone too, and that both stones were made from the remains of the goddess Keto when the original families killed her. The Sea Queen uses her Crystal to access the power of Keto and rule over the sea. As the man speaks, Elian consults a watch his father gave him that can tell when someone is lying: The watch indicates that the man is telling the truth.

Princess of Souls

—Dedication page, Princess of Souls

**Princess of Souls** or PoS is a YA fantasy novel based off of Rapunzel written by the creator of To Kill a Kingdom and the second book in the **Hundred Kingdoms** universe. It is due to come out October 2022 and will follow the story of Selestra and Nox.

For sixteen years, **Selestra Somniatis** has been trapped in a castle on the **Floating Mountain**, preparing to take her mother’s place as **King Seryth’s** right hand. Tied by blood to steal souls for the immortal King of **the Six Isles**, the Somniatis Witch foretells the deaths of participants in the **Festival of Predictions**. To outrun your fate is to save your soul and steal the King’s immortality. But if you die, your soul is forfeit. And though thousands have tried, nobody has ever beaten death.

As a soldier in King Seryth’s army, **Nox Laederic** is an unlikely candidate for the Festival, but he has no plans to die at the hands of the King or his **witches**. His plan is more akin to violent revenge: steal the King’s immortality and kill the entirety of his court, starting with Selestra herself.

But when Selestra touches Nox in her very first prediction, she sees her own death alongside his--their fates are unmistakably intertwined, and Selestra is no longer safe in the only home she’s ever known. Nox and Selestra will have to enter a turbulent alliance in order to survive long enough to free the Six Isles from King Seryth’s clutches and escape the new fate that hunts them.

Victory

**Victory** is the 3rd song in **The Night Hunt** **playlist**. It was created and performed by **The Silent Comedy**.

## **Lyrics**

A man in a hat

Paused for the camera

And raised his hand for all to see

And with two fingers up

He then spread them apart

He said give us a sign victory

And I walked down the stairs

Meeting the eyes

Of a woman who is not for me

But she's calm and she's sweet

And she's struck and imposing

Her name is pronounced Victory

And her wings have been tied on with ribbons

And the torch that she carries is dark

But she sheds her disguise when she follows my eyes

And she uses my teeth for a spark

The question is are you

But some opportunist

A wolf caught befriending the sheep

And I answer that I am

Confused and aloof

And yet arrogant for victory

She says all the good words are the old ones

And the short are preferred to the long

She says you should be weak and be good as of now

You're just evil and trying to be strong

But I don't make new mistakes

She thinks that I'm not awake

I should leave now

It's too late

Well I'm not really sure what we're doing this for

Is there something to see underneath?

And I want to believe I am mine for the many

And title this one victory

Well I don't know if I'm where I'm needed

If you need me please raise up your voice

I hate being alive if it's just to survive

I'd rather sing than be left making noise

(Alright)

A man in a hat

Swallowed his history

And begged with his old colonies

He said give us the guns

The grenades and the mortars

We won't stop before victory

No we won't stop before victory

And I won't stop before victory
Гремлины

Гремлины - это маленькие существа, похожие на рептилий или домашних гоблинов, целью которых является разрушение техники, таких как тостеры, компьютеры, и даже самолёты с ракетами. Известно, что у них длинные острые когти, используемые для разрезания мягких резиновых трубок, и большая пасть со множеством иглообразных зубов, чтобы прокусывать медную проводку и твердый металл. У них также большие уши, чтобы слышать людей, которые входят в комнату, и они умеют менять свой рост, таким образом, Гремлин может быстро спрятаться, прежде чем его увидят.

Происхождение гремлинов восходит ко Второй мировой войне, когда пилоты сообщали о технических неполадках на своих самолетах без видимой причины, которую можно было найти. Эти сообщения поступали как с немецкой, так и с американской сторон и даже с японских самолетов. После того, как пилоты приземлялись, они проверяли двигатель и проводку самолета и находили небольшие следы укусов на своих проводах и 3 маслянистых следа когтей в смазке и пыли в самолете. Вскоре гремлины перешли от простых самолетов к другим технологиям, не важно, насколько старым или новым. Также говорят, что гремлины ответственны за пропажу таких предметов, как молотки или гаечные ключи, и, как говорят, также являются причиной смертельных компьютерных вирусов.

Похоже, поскольку известно, что гремлины уничтожали технику по обе стороны Второй мировой войны, то можно придти к выводу что они уничтожают технологии, чтобы раздражать людей. Вполне возможно, что гремлины на самом деле являются духами природы, которые разрушают технологии, поскольку считают их неполноценными или угрожающими миру природы. Это объяснение не лишено оснований, поскольку примерно в это же время загрязнение окружающей среды и ядерное оружие действительно начали оказывать влияние на здоровье земли. Возможно, они пытаются защитить землю от промышленной мощи человека.

To Kill a Kingdom

—Dedication page, To Kill a Kingdom

**To Kill a Kingdom** or TKaK for short is a YA novel based on the book The Little Mermaid and is also the first book in the **Hundred Kingdoms** series. It was published in March of 2019 and marked Alexandra's debut. It has since become an international bestseller and has been translated into over a dozen languages.

**Princess Lira** is **siren** royalty and the most lethal of them all. With the hearts of seventeen princes in her collection, she is revered across the sea. Until a twist of fate forces her to kill one of her own. To punish her daughter, the **Sea Queen** transforms Lira into the one thing they loathe most—a human. Robbed of her song, Lira has until the winter solstice to deliver **Prince Elian’s** heart to the Sea Queen or remain a human forever.

The ocean is the only place Prince Elian calls home, even though he is heir to the most powerful kingdom in the world. Hunting sirens is more than an unsavory hobby—it’s his calling. When he rescues a drowning woman in the ocean, she’s more than what she appears. She promises to help him find the key to destroying all of sirenkind for good—But can he trust her? And just how many deals will Elian have to barter to eliminate mankind’s greatest enemy?

Vigilante Shit

## **Lyrics**

Draw the cat eye, sharp enough to kill a man

You did some bad things, but I'm the worst of them

Sometimes I wonder which one will be your last lie

They say looks can kill and I might try

I don't dress for women

I don't dress for men

Lately I've been dressing for revenge

I don't start it but I can tell you how it ends

Don't get sad, get even

So on the weekends

I don't dress for friends

Lately I've been dressing for revenge

She needed cold hard proof so I gave her some

She had the envelope, where you think she got it from?

Now she gets the house, gets the kids, gets the pride

Picture me thick as thieves with your ex-wife

And she looks so pretty

Driving in your Benz

Lately she's been dressing for revenge

She don't start it, but she can tell you how it ends

Don't get sad, get even

So on the weekends

She don't dress for friends

Lately she's been dressing for revenge

Ladies always rise above

Ladies know what people want

Someone sweet and kind and fun

The lady simply had enough

While he was doing lines

And crossing all of mine

Someone told his white collar crimes to the FBI

And I don't dress for villains

Or for innocents

I'm on my vigilante shh again

I don't start it, but I can tell you how it ends

Don't get sad, get even

So on the weekends

I don't dress for friends

Lately I've been dressing for revenge

Голлум из Хуайчжоу

В 2014 году британская газета Independent опубликовала фотографии существа, удивительно похожего на Голлума из "Властелина колец". Газета сообщила, что снимки сделал турист, поехавший в Китай и наткнувшийся на жутковатое человекоподобное существо во время прогулки по лесу.

Фотографии сделал отдыхающий в кемпинге турист, который отошёл подальше от группы, чтобы сходить в туалет. Уже через день пекинская полиция заявила, что китайским Голлумом был "одетый в костюм актёр, снимавшийся в рекламе".

Правительство округа Хуайчжоу подтвердило слова комментатора, добавив, что актёр действительно пошёл в туалет и не снял костюм. А производители онлайн-игры "Guild Wars 2" рассказали, что актёр якобы специально сделал фото из Китая для игры. Он якобы изображал асура — одного из оригинальных игровых персонажей. А сфотографировали его, когда он наклонился попить воды из ручья.

Снимок страшного лысого существа с большими ушами перепостили больше 30 тыс. раз. Он собрал десятки тысяч комментариев и более миллиона просмотров на YouTube.

Vampires

*Are you looking for the song Vampire by Olivia Rodrigo?*

**Vampires** appear in **The Night Hunt** and are monsters that eat humans to maintain their eternal youth. They have been cursed by the gods to age quicker the more humans they kill so usually they only steal a small amount of blood to help them get by.

## **Etymology**

The word *vampire* (as *vampyre*) first appeared in English in 1732, in news reports about vampire "epidemics" in eastern Europe. After Austria gained control of northern Serbia and Oltenia with the Treaty of Passarowitz in 1718, officials noted the local practice of exhuming bodies and "killing vampires". These reports, prepared between 1725 and 1732, received widespread publicity. The English term was derived (possibly via French *vampyre*) from the German *Vampir*, in turn derived in the early 18th century from the Serbian вампир (*vampir*).

Человек-козёл (козлолюди)

Обычно описан как гибрид существа ростом семь футов; наполовину человек, наполовину козел. Некоторые утверждают, что это родственник новоорлеанского злого криптида, похожего на чупакабру - Гранча. Городские легенды о них часто повествуют о том, как они пугают молодые пары в припаркованных автомобилях или прочесывают окрестности, убивая домашних животных. Некоторые говорят, что он был человеком, который держал коз и сошёл с ума после того, как подростки убили его стадо, движимый желанием отомстить любому подростку. Но, возможно, самая волнующая версия прослеживает происхождение человека-козла до Центра сельскохозяйственных исследований в Белтсвилле, обширного учреждения Министерства сельского хозяйства США, расположенного в большом кирпичном здании с белыми колоннами. В этой версии сумасшедший ученый проводит эксперименты на козле, когда что-то идет ужасно неправильно, превращая его в получеловека-полукозла, который, естественно, жаждет крови.

В Австралии есть поверье, что козлочеловек помогает людям, попавшим в беду. Так он выводит потерявшихся в пустыне к воде. В Штатах есть мост Козлочеловека, в других странах колодец Козлочеловека, холм и так далее. А самое известное обиталище козлочеловека расположено среди отмелей озера Лох-Несс. Местные жители верят, что козлочеловек Лох-Несса — это потерявшее покой демоническое существо, которое выпустил на свободу оккультист-каббалист, чёрный маг и сатанист Алистер Кроули (1875 — 1947) во время одного из своих чернокнижных ритуалов. Это существо также часто называют красноглазым или зеленоглазым призраком озера.

Возможно, он не так знаменит, как его двоюродные братья-криптиды Снежный человек или Лох-Несское чудовище, но у Козлочеловека есть преданные последователи.

The kingdom's symbol is the snake and their color is black, the snakes represent the witches that they are well known for.

## History

Every year a festival is held at the castle that involves people coming before the king and his witches and getting their fates told. In exchange for learning how they will die a deal is made, if they survive past their predicted death date then they are gifted with a free wish but if they still die their soul will forever belong to the king. This helps fuel Seryth's immortality and the Somaniatis witches have been helping with this for several generations, the current witch is the most trusted advisor and when she dies her daughter takes her place and the cycle continues like it always has.

The Crafters

**The Crafters** are beings from **Into the Crooked Place** and **City of Spells** that are known to create magic. They created **charms** that allowed anyone to use their power. The majority of them were trapped and forced to created new magic to sell but during the **War of Ages** the majority were killed and the rest went into hiding.

## **Crafter Types**

There are three types of crafters that each specialize in a different type of magic, their type is determined by which magic they are the strongest at using.

## **Kins**

Kins are like gangs, there is one in every city and realm and their Lieges helped lead them. Kins rarely talked with each other as they had trouble trusting anyone outside their own kin. They all had their own traditions and beliefs.

### **Creating a Crafter from a Vessel**

The Grankan crafters that live around **the holy rivers** have been blessed with the ability to turn anyone temporarily into a crafter. This can only be done once a year and only the most trustworthy can successfully become one.

## **Extra Lore**

### **The Crafter Moon**

The legends state that the crafters were born beneath the crafter moon also known as the shadow moon. Whenever it comes it hides the sun like an eclipse and all crafter's magic is incredibly strong and free on that day.

### **Tattoos and Marks**

There are three types of crafters that we'll talk about in a bit but first it must be noted all crafters have tattoos on their chests that mark their kin and their achievements, these glow when they use magic without a charm or do other powerful things, It also represents the magic they specialize in and is written in their people's language.
The True War

**The True War** is an event in the six isles' history where the **Somniatis witches** teamed up with **King Seryth** to take over.

## **The Truth**

### **Seryth's Tale**

In **Polemistes** it was tradition for the king to be whoever the strongest warrior was, after a failed attempt Seryth left in search of magic that could make him stronger. He went to Thavma and met Isolda.

### **The Witch's Side**

Meanwhile Isolda felt she would make a better ruler than her sister and with all the power Thavma had. She wanted to conquer every island there was. She never understood why the witches used their powers to help others when they could use it to help themselves. She became power hungry and made a deal with Seryth to combine their strengths and so the evil duo achieved their goal and took every island, except for Polemistes which stood strong in their path.

### **The War**

In the war Isolda stole the power of all the witches and used it to make her and Seryth stronger, they made sure Isolda and her bloodline were the last witches alive. When they attacked Vastilades they were drained from the fight. The future dictator pleaded with the witch to find a way for him to live eternally. She found it the month of the **Red Moon** and thus the **Festival of Predictions** was born.

## **Lies**

Seryth lied to his people and **Selestra** about what happened. In the stories **Eldara** was the evil queen who needed to be stopped and he said they did good by killing the dictator and her witches. He made all witches feared by all and continued to use their power for evil for the three more generations.

But now she’s the best busker the city has, with no shortage of tricks up her sleeves (so keep an eye out if she gets anywhere near your valuables. Things are prone to going missing around her).

Tavia loves magic just as much as she loves black lipstick and her knuckle dusters. She just doesn’t love having to do it for the Kingpin. But that’s fine because she only has a few months left on her life-debt to him. After that, she’s free to leave Creije and travel the world. To escape the awful memories she has of her mother’s death.

She is blunt and stubborn, despite being a criminal and being in the worst place in the world she still always tries to do what is right and does have more of a heart then anyone else.

You've made it to the end! Thank you for reading Lira and Elian's story and then turning the page to find out a little bit more about mine (unless you've skipped straight here without reading. In which case, spoiler alert: Everyone dies).

This book became a real thing outside my imagination because of a bunch of amazing people, and so I'll try my best to make sure they all know just how great they are.

To my parents, who never once told me to stop dreaming. For being hilarious and weird and not just great folks, but also really great friends. Mum, thanks for ringing me every day to check that I'm still alive and for being someone I can talk to about absolutely anything (but not for always picking out the exact wrong paint. Every. Time) Dad, thanks for always being the smile in the room and fixing any problem I have, no matter what it is (but not thinking you can artex).

To the rest of my family (and, man, there's a lot of you) for being a constant source of encouragement and wackiness. And to Nick, especially, because I promised I'd name a character after you that one time and then I totally didn't.

To my friends, who are the most uplifting bunch in the world. Jasprit and Rashika, you two are the best kind of people-the ones I couldn't do without and can't remember not knowing. Thank you for supporting me in everything I do, being endlessly on my wavelength, and making me laugh more then I ever have. And to Siiri, for being a burst of positivity and one of the first friends I made in the blogging world (and for being someone I cab gush about Kdramas whenever I'm procrastinating. Which is always).

To Charles and Alan, two of the most bizarre and talented creative writing professors. You guys made me forget everything I thought I knew about writing and learn all the fun stuff instead.

To the folks at Feiwel and Friends for being the dream team and giving me the most amazing cover! And to Anna, for helping me to iron out the kinks and tell the story that needed to be told, and for making me feel right at home in this whole process.

The Night Hunt

**The Night Hunt** or TNH is a new book coming out in fall of 2023.

**Atia** is an immortal trickster who feeds on fear. As the last of her kind, she thinks herself safe from the wrath of the **unpredictable Gods**. **Silas** is a Herald, carrying messages and ferrying the dead as Gods-given punishment for a past he can’t remember. Stripped of his true name, he painfully serves his hundred-year sentence, yearning to recover his true identity.

When the Gods strip Atia of her powers, Silas realizes that she may be the solution to his own immortal punishment. He offers her a deal: he’ll help her avenge her family and take on the Gods who now hunt her if she helps him break his curse and restore his humanity. All they need to do is kill three powerful creatures: **a vampire**, **a banshee**, and one of the very **Gods** who destroyed both their lives. Only by uniting their strengths and trusting in each other can they finally rewrite their destinies.

TKaK17

**Chapter 17** of **To Kill a Kingdom** from **Elian's** perspective as he kills **Maeve** and interrogates **Lira**.

## **About**

### **Characters**

* **Elian Midas**
* **Lira**
* **Madrid**
* **Kye**
* **Kolton Torik**
* **Maeve**

## **Summary**

Elian balks at the idea of killing a begging creature and wonders why the vicious siren, who moments ago was ready to kill, is begging for her life. Lira asks him to kill Maeve, wanting her to suffer. She notices that blood, dripping from Elian’s wound down his hand and into his knife, is being absorbed by the blade. Kye, having heard Lira speak Psáriin, warns Elian not to trust her, but Elian focuses instead on Maeve. Lira’s suggestion that they pull out Maeve’s heart is also strange to the crew. Madrid explains that they don’t take hearts—only sirens do.

The siren begs for her life from Lira again, but Elian orders his crew to hold her down as Madrid shoots a spear through her fin, pinning her to the deck. Elian tries to interrogate her, using Lira as a translator, but the siren lunges at him. The crew scramble to save Elian from the siren, but they can’t find a good shot without hitting Elian. Finally, Kye pulls the siren away from him, and Elian quickly plunges his knife into her. The knife takes in the blood and the siren dies. They watch as the siren fades into sea-foam.

Человек-аллигатор из Нью-Джерси

Не так много известно о неуловимом человеке-аллигаторе из Нью-Джерси. Мы знаем, что летом 1973 года жители района Ньютон-Лафайет в Нью-Джерси подверглись нападению того, что очевидцы описали как большого человекоподобного аллигатора.

Каким образом ученым удалось вывести столь уникальное существо, остается загадкой.

## в мифологии

Местный журналист, освещавший эту историю, сравнил это существо с легендой коренных американцев о гигантской рыбе размером с человека, которую никогда нельзя было поймать. Возможно, то, что выделяет Человека-аллигатора из Нью-Джерси больше всего среди других Людей-ящериц, - это тот факт, что его существование было публично признано государственным служащим. Молодые люди из племени канингара делают "крокодилью броню" на своем теле с помощью ритуала, во время которого они получают шрамы, похожие на крокодилью броню. Однако, вероятно, это просто совпадение.

Заявление было сделано в 1977 году, когда натуралист по охране природы Нью-Йорка Альфред Халструк сообщил, что Южный ярус штата был очевидным домом для “чешуйчатого, похожего на человека существа, которое появляется в сумерках из вод, кишащих красными водорослями, чтобы добыть корм среди покрытых папоротником и мхом возвышенностей. Хотя это единственный “официальный" комментарий в отношении Человека-аллигатора из Нью-Джерси, простой факт, что городской чиновник публично признал существование существа, говорит о его достоверности.

## наблюдения

Никаких вещественных доказательств существования человека-аллигатора из Нью-Джерси так и не было обнаружено, однако сообщения очевидцев и публичное признание городских властей свидетельствуют в пользу существования этого существа. Летом 1973 года несколько человек видели человекоподобного аллигатора.

## объяснения

Неизвестный вид крупного аллигатора или, возможно, эволюционировавший динозавр.
