LU 211 - Dr. Thornberry 53

I was awakened by Agaric, who looked...different. He came to me with news, and explained how he found a warden a bit under the ground while he was "digging in his roots." ..And he *absorbed* it.

Agaric looks different because he took the warden's body. Wonderful! Just fucking great.

He told me he wanted to fight me, and that if I won, he'd let me go. I knew I would lose, of course I would fucking lose, but I might as well try. I needed a miracle anyway. Isn't it about time I got one?

He gave me a strength 2 potion, from my own shop, my armor, my carrots, and my weapon. I took a deep breath and got to fighting. Except, surprise! I can't fight. It was a fast one, and I could feel myself getting weaker every time.

The strength let me ignore my leg, but even holding my sword up to land hits was exhausting. After the second or third round, I could barely move. He scooped me up and walked out. Out. Like outside.

He placed me on the grass outside of his home and I slowly got back up. All my weight was shifted onto my right leg but I didn't care. I took a quick look around me. It was nighttime, but the stars were barely visible with the downpour of rain. I tried to scramble away but he stabbed me. In the leg, again. It hurt, but I tried to back away. It was all open land now. And the Empire was *right there.* He shoved me and I fell back.

*"What's wrong Vice? Two potions and you still can't stand?"*

*"You stabbed me, in the leg, for the third time. Of course I can't stand."*

*"And? You get stabbed all the time! You should be used to it by now."*

His voice wasn't echoing off the walls of the cave anymore, but it was just as bad as it had been then. Listening to him makes me feel like I'm going insane again. I quickly turned on my heel and tried to run off.

I got up to Ribbun's Radio Station when Agaric bashed his sword against my head. I immediately fell forward, staring at myself in a puddle, with blood leaking from the top of my head. I let out a scream, when Agaric put a hand over my mouth, picked me up and carried me back into the cave.

*"Ready to head back now?"*

He set me down and I clutched my wound while he spoke. My armor and things were taken away from me again.

*"Awe Vice! You had a horrible try!"*

I sat in silence, waiting for him to just leave me alone.

*"But don't fret! You'll have a friend soon!"*

Fucking hell another one?

*"Oh and Vice, weren't you going to get married soon?"*

*"I suppose so I guess."*

*"Well not anymore! Goodnight Vice!"*

He walked away before turning around for the final time.

*"Oh and darling?"*

*"..."*

*"Do let the bed bugs bite!"*
LU 47 - Echo 3

Echo sat, crying at Ivy's grave. Tori walks up to Echo and asks who's grave that is. Echo hesitates before saying its Ivy's. Tori says his child also died and the two pity each other. Tori asks Echo if they know any way to bring someone back from beyond the grave. Echo says that The Efflorescence may have this power but Echo does not remember the rituals. They begin to talk about an old friend who may know how to summon The Efflorescence. Though they were apparently trapped in Tori's homeland. Echo and Tori agree that this person is probably dead. But Echo still has hope that they may be alive. "I'm not going to ask you to go back Tori" Said Echo. "If there is anything I can do. Just ask". Echo says that the only way they could go to the nether is with a fire res potion. If they didn't have it they would burn alive. But the only way Echo can think of to get a fire res is from Thornberry. "I AM NEVER TALKING TO HIM AGAIN". Tori understands this but is slightly annoyed. Tori mentions that he met someone who may have known alchemy (Vikktor). Echo is exited by the prospect of seeing their partner again and quickly gets tired seeing as they haven't slept for 3 days. Echo walks back to The Verdure to sleep
Thyme/Relationships

### Rosemary

Rose and Thyme don't really get along because in their first interaction, as Rose nearly decapitated Thyme by swinging her sword, Flowering Thorn recklessly at her head. They will often bicker and disagree with one another, but have came to respect each other begrudgingly by the end of season 1.

### Parsley

Parsley is one of the few people Thyme is close to, because of her unwavering kindness and unrepentant concern for her welfare. The two are roommates, and Parsley made her a wolf costume for the Festival of Fall. At the end of the event, the two talk about what they accomplished and comfort each other.

### Sage

The two are in Professor Redbud's potions class together, though their relationship was off to a rocky start because Thyme accidentally made her cry by supporting Amaryllis' cruel words. However later she apologized. In episode 12, when Thyme bridal carries Sage, she blushes.

### Amaryllis

Amaryllis initially displayed disdain at Thyme for being "poor", but in episode 5, after Thyme accidentally insulted Sage and made her cry, Amaryllis began to view her in a different light, and invited her to sit with her and Snapdragon at lunch, though she declined. In subsequent episodes, she frequently tries to get close to Thyme, even though all of her attempts at friendship were a complete fail. In episode 6 however, Amaryllis finally got Thyme to open up about her family life and history, though Thyme still refuses to consider her a friend.

At the end of the Festival of Fall, when Amaryllis offered to ask her sources about the Triumvirate, Thyme shoots the idea down, stating that the academy is crawling with spies.

### Flora

Thyme and her mother do not seem to have a good relationship due to the latter treating her like a child and infantilizing her. Due to this, Thyme is much more closer to her father and wants to be with him more, but he distances himself from her to avoid attracting any potential threats to Thyme's life. When Thyme speaks with Flora, she blatantly disrespects her and refuses to talk to her further than a few harsh words.
However, Thyme still shows some care for her, as she mentioned meeting up with her next time school's out, and in episode 8, she was horrified to see Flora turned into a statue by Olive's spell. In an old photograph, a younger Thyme is shown to be happy with her family, showing that she hasn't always resented Flora as her mother and loved her equally.

### Coral

When Elodie first introduced Thyme to Coral for the fist time, Thyme couldn't help but stare and blush at the sight of her. Rosemary had to nudge her to stop her from spacing out. Coral then remarked that her name, Thyme was nice, and the two spent a lot of time together during the episode, hinting a sort of affection she has for her.
LU 56 - Tori 7

*~~"Hello?"~~*

~~The Enderian introduces herself as Mira. Seeing an opportunity to take a step forward with his new quest for fairness, Tori uses his height to his advantage and introduces himself as a kid who lost his mother. The bird explains to Mira his mother said to go back to their cave if he got lost, and Mira offers to help him find his home.~~

*~~"Will you stay with me until my mommy gets back?"~~*

~~Tori leads into his cave and to the cell guest room downstairs. After some back and fourth and a little bit of guilt tripping, Mira finally agrees to go inside the guest room. *"*~~

*~~God. You overworld beings are so annoying."~~*

~~Tori steps out of the cell, frowning at Mira through the iron bars. He tells the Enderian that some people have multiple lives, though she doesn't believe him.~~

*~~"-But you know what hurts more? Watching someone you love die and then learning some people can come back, but they didn't. Do you know how unfair that is?"~~*

~~The two go back and fourth for some time before Mira teleports out of the cell. Tori shows Mira a healing scar from when his first dead, but she still doesn't believe him.~~

*~~"I apologize for deceiving you, but I only want this world to be fair."~~*

~~Tori draws his sword, stabbing Mira and setting her on fire. Mira fights back, but Tori manages to overpower her.~~

*~~"I guess Enderians don't have bones.. There goes my dinner plans..."~~*

~~Unbeknownst to Tori, Mira teleports away before the bird can kill her and escapes.~~
LU 104 - Dr. Thornberry 24

Today’s my 28th birthday. I haven’t had any special celebrations since I was little but this year feels especially lonely. Weirdly, I feel even more empty than the years I was on the run so long ago. This time I’m not technically alone. In fact, I’m surrounded by *things.*

After yesterday, I was able to run into the winding maze. There are no safe spots. Even now, as I’m writing in this journal I snuck in, I’m risking my life. *Sigh.* I wonder how everyone else is doing? I’ll be okay, no one misses me anyway… I took a deep breath and closed my journal. But before I got back to the maze I made a wish.

*Help me do better please. Space. Be a better person than I ever was. Be a good mayor.*
LU 300 - Viktor 5

The fog is closing in, Viktor has all the souls needed, it's now or never. Viktor compresses the souls, after an hour of pure compression the liquid like substance that were the souls became a solid, redstone like structure. The stone that Viktor was seeking, it was at the grasp of his hands. This was only the first step of his plan, a way to gain longetivy, his final plan is to be revealed later...

Viktor transmutes the stone with himself, it's done. Death is now impossible but Viktor feels a sharp pain in his heart. It's like a heart attack, a quick burst of pain. Viktor falls to the ground.

Viktor awakens in a dark room, he is alone but he sees him, Death. Viktor has been condemed to a state of life and death, he can't live nor die, he is stuck.

*"WHERE AM I!?!?!"*

*"You'll see soon."*

*Viktor is in a purgatory like state.* *1 life remains.*
LU 253 - Stanley 12

Stanley sits on the side of his bed, healing pots beside him on the table as he just stares down.

He was beaten so quickly.. it was utterly pathetic, feeling the elytrian's blade running through his body, taking him straight out of the fight. He had to drag himself away to ensure he didn't get blasted or cut open by anything else. Thankfully he did, because soon after, someone started firing off rockets and spawning a wither.

He was in no condition to fight anymore, and he wasn't about to get himself killed either, so he just watched.

And he watched them win.. taking out so many of them so swiftly. It was disgusting, but he didn't care about their politics or their war, not really. All he cared about was Hallthorr. but this.. this was too much. He was useless then, and he was useless now.

Getting up and chugging his health pot, feeling his wounds and his pain ease, he sighed.

The revolutionists wouldn't find him out here. They couldn't unless they forced it out of someone who already knows where he lived, and Stanley knew that. But he would still prepare for it, should they come somehow. So there Stanley was, thinking to himself about designs and ideas to defend his home. Traps and mechanisms to hopefully detour any intruders, or at least slow them down. He had to be ready. He wasn't going to face any trials or executions for a nation he wasn't a part of, he was only paid to help. And he didn't. He couldn't.

So he wouldn't any longer. Just Hallthorr. That's all in that damned town and that blasted empire he cared about. Just his prince.
LU 221 - Styg 1

The reclusive Doctor Styg received a strange letter from Electric awhile ago asking him to come discuss a strange development at his house. Upon arriving, he was instead greeted by Agaric, who told him that Electric was "taken" and that Agaric had come to "finish what he started". He showed Styg the red mass from a distance and answered a few of his questions, dropping a few names of people that Styg thought were long dead. Styg warned Agaric to be very careful with the red mass and that it is dangerous, looking distinctly anxious the whole time, as if he had seen a ghost. As if he were feeling like the past was repeating itself before his very eyes.
Witch Country

Olive

Amaryllis (Formerly)

Sage (Formerly)

**Witch Country** is an island nation located somewhere not too far from Lyngarth. It is home to the main antagonists of High Guardian Spice - The Triumvirate and their assassins, as well as the former home of protagonists Amaryllis and Sage.

## Description

Witch Country seems to be a wealthy nation, as described by Amaryllis. It boasts a wide variety of towering castles and blinding streetlights. This is supported by the brief glimpses we see of Witch Country's most prominent region, Spooky City, at the end of Episode 12. It's terrain appears to be rather rocky and jagged, with sparse trees lacking any foliage. According to Sage, there is a countryside region, which is where she grew up. It can be inferred this region isn't nearly as bright or crowded as Spooky City, though we never get to see it.

## Gallery

Aloe

**Aloe** is the wife of Anise.

## History

In the first episode, Rosemary and her best friend, Sage, are seen leaving their respective homes to go to High Guardian Academy. They reside with Sage's cousin Anise, and her girlfriend Aloe, who show them to their new room.

In the fourth episode, Sage, like the rest of the HGS students, is sent home for the weekend due to the school suffering from a tavern infestation. Anise and Aloe gift Sage her own terrasphere, but when they sense that she dislikes it, they offer to take her to the store to purchase her own. Even though Sage didn't want one and had an anxiety attack because she feared her mother will reprimand her since it utilizes new magic, she actually became drawn to one. However, at home, she began bawling her fears to her cousins, and then apologized because she hates yelling. Aloe bars Anise from responding immediately and signals to her to let her finish speaking. In the end, Anise comforted her and said she will happily take the blame for any of her mom's anger, and then revealed that her mom was not always so conservative, and in her youth, had a phase where she was obsessed with newer magic.

In Episode 8, she dresses as a playboy bunny for the Festival of Fall. She finds out that Caraway is wearing the same costume as her, and this isn't the first time he has done it. The episode also reveals that she knows Caraway because they go the same parties.

LU 29 - Dr. Thornberry 7

I was woken up bright and early this morning to attend my trial. Funnii as my defendant and Viktor as the prosecutor. Bad choices, but oh well. And boy can I tell you, trials are ***LONG!*** I mean, who knew that it would take so much time. After the people in court finally understood their jobs, the trials commenced. Xever, Hallthor, Echo and Space spoke. And me of course. It seemed to be a very unfair trial as I ended up not getting to say 75% of my important points. But I guess that's fine. If I can't embarrass someone in court I can just kill them instead. As you may have guessed, I went straight back to prison. The max security cell this time too. And they said they'd feed me every *12* hours. Do they want me to die? Probably.. but I want them to die too. But I think I did something they never expected. I escaped! Genius me, I know. Please clap for me I deserve it! If you remember back to before I was initially put in jail, I talked to my new associate Funnii, and told him to release me using a pearl if the trial went the wrong way. And he did just that! Wonderful man I must say. Now I need to hold a meeting, asap. I know I've been determined as "kill on sight." I must come up with a plan before I die.
LU 295 - Laozi 3

The fog is thick as Zi lands at Edelle’s door, ever encroaching on the space the glow of their gem once kept clear. He approaches hesitantly, knocking on the door before backing up to the opposite rail as someone calls from inside.

Edelle opens the door, letting Zi in while she collects their robes. A heavy stiffness of being unacquainted hangs between the two as they speak, discussing their feelings of isolation.

Dizziness and exhaustion seem to wash over the bird as silence falls upon the apartment, the glow of gemstone above their head dimming in response, and realization begins to seep in that he may not overcome this fog like he has in the past.

And in that moment of actualization, Zi is afraid.

Stripped of his rank and so far from home, no one is left to mourn them when they fall. He will die with no heir, no honor, and alone, but perhaps this is what they deserve.

Edelle returns with a glass of water, wishing the condor well, but it is clear other matters occupy her, and Zi doesn’t wish to interrupt. Their lives were not meant to intersect in this way; if only he got here, to this town, sooner.

They bid each other farewell, and Zi disappears into the fog, only to fall, unheard, a few moments later.

With only their regrets, the light in his gem wanes with every labored breath until there is nothing but a dim flicker left in Zi’s soul.

When the bird dies, no one cries for their life or the life of a lost scholar. Perhaps Zi will return to his mate, and he will not be cold or lonely anymore.
LU 163 - Rox 2

After my little chat with the "King of the amat something something Empire", I went to look for the weird penguin human thing, Isra. He was at the zoo, looking at animals and he was still sad about the turkey.

It was night, and I was afraid of something bad happening to him, so I couldn't leave him behind. I let him sleep in my house for a day and he found out that sleeping on a bed was amazing.

Seriously, does this guy know anything about anything?

After we got out, the first thing he did was go inside someone's house and look through the storage. Alllllrighhhttt, he doesn't know about society as well. He was going somewhere random, I ran after him and wanted to make sure he finds a place that he can sleep. But then he said:

*"Dis tree my haouss now."*

He didn't listen to my words. I left with anger.

Do I regret it? Ehh, maybe, I hope he finds a safe place and doesn't die.
LU 108 - Dr. Thornberry 26

**Frezz:** "*This is audio log #2, subject Vice Thornberry hasn't made any recent efforts to escape and so I might give them a bit more freedom*"

Frezz walks over into the room with Vice.

**Frezz:** "*Hello Vice, you've been quiet recently, mind telling me about that?*"

Vice looks up at him.

**Vice:** "*.....*"

Frezz pulls a lever and a wall lowers from behind him, blocking the door.

**Frezz:** "*I'm actually happy you've stopped screaming.. It was pointless anyways..*"

**Vice:** "*...Because no one can hear me...*"

Frezz walks over to Vice and looks down at him.

**Frezz:** "*That's right... You've been understanding your situation a lot better recently.*"

Frezz leans down and looks at Vice.

**Vice:** "*Well there's no point in trying anymore, I'm safe here, you've helped me realize that.*"

Frezz thought for a moment, then he unlocked the chains keeping Vice to the pillar. The chains clattered onto the ground and Vice looked down at his hands.

**Frezz:** "*I thought you might as well have some place to roam since you won't try to leave.. See? I'm not that bad..*"

Vice said nothing and just hugged him and whispered under his breath.

**Vice:** "*...Thank you...*"

Vice let go of the hug and look at his mask where his eyes would be. He placed his hand on Frezz's cheek.

**Frezz:** "*Vice..? What are you doing..?*"

Vice said nothing and slowly started to lift up his mask. Frezz grabbed a hold of Vice's hand and stopped him from lifting the mask.

The mask was lifted enough and Vice kissed him on his lips. Frezz quickly backed up and adjusted his mask.

**Frezz:** "*Vice..!? What the hell!?*"

Vice backed up.

**Vice:** "*I-I'm sorry I don't know what came over me...*"

Frezz took a deep breath and then exhaled.

**Frezz:** "*It's fine...*"

He steps closer to Vice leans down looking at him.

**Frezz:** "*I just.. Don't like removing my mask.*"

**Vice:** "*I'm sure you look good.. Just.. Let me....*"

Vice slowly placed his hand on Frezz's mask. He waited to see if Frezz would back up or anything but he remained still. Vice slowly lifted up the mask and took it off, revealing many different scars and now glowing blue veins that look slightly infected.

**Vice:** "*See... That wasn't so bad was it?*"

Frezz, now without his mask, was a bit nervous.

Vice leaned in slowly, waiting for any response from Frezz.

Vice wrapped his arms around Frezz and gave him another hug.

*End of Audio Log #2*
LU 283 - Viktor 4

In his office, Viktor takes the news in.

Space left. There is some wierd red fog in town, the first step plans are ruined...

*"Well, time for plan B."*

*Viktor proceeds to start writing 3 books, books that contain the plans for the future, maybe someone will find these books.*

*"Well, there is nothing stopping me now, who is out there to stop me from just killing random people?!? Yea...YEA, THERE IS NOTHING STOPPING ME, NO POLICE, NO GOVERMENT, no stability."*
LU 254 - Ikahani 2

I was walking through the centre of town when I saw Vice. We talked a bit and I invited them over.

I talked about my past and got recruited into the war. I had no idea what I got myself into. I have no gear, no change of survival against these guys, but I had to.

I fought. Musket in hand. Sword on the ready. Axe on the ready. Bow on my back. I shot almost an entire bag of ammo. I tried to help the best I could and protected someone from being murdered. And, after fighting for a long time, I was struck down.

I woke up in the night. Some people were still down and I couldn't bring myself to check. I flew home.

Wounded, scarred, and tired. I had to make sure I was back on track before doing anything else. I can't just sit here and do nothing though. I will continue construction and work on the bar that I had plans for. Maybe I'll find something or someone worth fighting for. But this was just like how my wars used to be. No-one knows who you're fighting for and everyone loses. I'm distraught, upset, and betrayed.

Even the one I saved didn't seem to be on my side after all. But at least I protected them. I don't care that they were from the other side. I did my duty.
LU 150 - Hallthorr 2

After Hallthorr and Vice talked and Hallthorr got a maid dress... he realized something, he was a mess, he kept passing out for an unexplained reason, he kept switching between having and not having his memories. Was vice his dad or was Hallthorr just a lab rat? Why was he speaking a mix of common and bee, he decided he needed to fix these things. He decided to start with the memories as it was the largest issue, he had one idea to fix it but hated it so he tried to forget about it. His other idea was to capture himself in the lab to try and remind himself of everything.

He didn't want Vice to panic though, so he left a simple note,

*"I am going to the lab to try and regain my memories."*

Then he quickly ran to the lab and shivered, being back here is something he did not like but he felt it was necessary, after going in and sealing some of his stuff away and locking himself in, he sat and waited to pass out into the no memory version of himself. After this happened, Hallthorr had a small panic attack and started crying in the corner but seemingly not remembering the stuff.

"I was so hapbzz", as tears drizzled from out of his mask, he grabbed his knees and cried until he fell asleep.
LU 156 - Dr. Thornberry 40

I ran into the AE, only going to pass through to get to the lab. But I was stopped in my tracks again when I saw a new face. Putting on my most kingly smile, (yes since we’re an Empire, I’m a king now!) and greeted him. He introduced himself as Stanley and said he was a mechanic. Interesting, someone who makes things. Space also found us, and we all had a friendly chat for a few minutes. I told Stanley to make sure to let me know when he finished his store and left with Space.

We immediately made our way to Shroom’s cell, since I *did* say I would be checking on them everyday. We had a stupid argument about each other’s morals and ideas. I kept whispering with Space throughout this conversation because I was bored, and he congratulated me on my capture again. Wow, he’s been complimenting me a lot lately. I couldn’t help but smile.

After a while, we left, hearing Shroom yelling at us through the doors. I just had to laugh, seeing them like that felt wonderful.

Space insisted that we go to the Verdure to meet some person Shroom kept mentioning, but I told him I had to go check on Hallthorr since the kid locked himself in the lab. He reluctantly came with me, but left shortly after telling me to catch up to him. I told him to stay safe, and went back to Hallthorr.

When I first opened the cell, it was no memory man, and I tried to explain that I didn’t do this when they switched. Memory Hallthorr told me that he wanted to stay, and that there was no option to retrieve his memories than to either get experimented on or to stay in the lab. As much as I didn’t want either of these options, I let him stay. I gave him the key to all the doors and wrote a quick page in his book before he switched again.

*’Hey Hallthorr, this was your decision to stay here. I gave you a key to everything and you can come home whenever you need to. Please stay safe, I love you. -Vice Thornberry’*

I threw the book for him to catch, took one last look at him, and ran to the Verdure to find Space. But finding him wasn’t as hard as I had thought. He was speaking to some woman, who apparently was Shroom’s mother. Which was obvious, they both had the same horrible personality and attitude.

I tried to fight her, but Space held me back, fighting her was not a good idea. He instead told me to go find Shroom’s stasis, which I ran off to do.

After looking and looking, I couldn’t find it, but finally I saw it with Space when it was too late; Shroom’s mother had already gone down. We prepared for a fight, but we lost the two of them.

Space and I were done. Trying to find convicts was damn annoying, so we both just headed back to the office.
LU 258 - Stanley 13

Hallthorr visited me after the war.

I was downstairs in my basement, planning on how to best trap my own land. Hallthorr called for me, so I went up again to see him. He looked really fucked up, so I offered him a potion. He accepted, but before he could drink it, he passed out, so I stripped his armor off so he could be comfortable. I'm proud he fought for so long unlike me... but he needs his rest.

He woke up briefly after, but fell back asleep. He woke up for real about two hours later... he was so cute. Then we noticed it was still raining, again. That's really weird, it always happens when we're together... every single time.

After some talking, Hallthorr and I decided he could move in with me, since he isn't certain his house is safe anymore. I personally would dissagree because of the distance, but he was the prince... so I agreed. I'll have to expand my house for his own space, but he wanted to sleep with me... my face turned so red, haha...

After a bit, I carried him to bed and we cuddled til we fell asleep. It was nice...

LU 213 - Space 41

I finally went over to Electric's house, hopinh to find him for that conversation I've been meaning to have.

After waiting around his house for a bit with no luck, I finally spotted him swimming down the red mass. Curious, I followed him down there. After chasing him down to that odd moss room, I found him sitting on a bench just relaxing. I cut the formalities and asked about all of this and what it had to do with him.

He told me this room was like this when he go there, and he just put the furniture to decorate it; he failed to explain his connection with the red mass, which was suspicious. However, his actions answered that for him because the next thing he did was open his wall and revealed a mass-filled room with Vice inside.

I immediately started to get flashbacks of the Shard, and drew my sword on Electric. I asked for an explanation, but he jsut shut me up and explained that he did in fact kidnap Vice. I furiously demanded that he release Vice, but he instead gave me a book; it was a deal for Vice's release, which included Chizzy stay here until his terms are met.

Chizzy? Yeah, apparently the real one is still down here, while the one on the surface is a cake created by the mass. Perfect, now this shit can clone people. After reading through the deal's conditions and discussing some of the terms with Electric, Chizzy overhearing which is really bad for me. I threw Vice over my shoulder and made my way to the surface.

I made my way to my house and laid Vice down on my bed. I sat there, waiting for him to wake up so I could talk to him about all this...
Neppy Cat

* Current
* Original

> I have a mission!
>
> Episode 3: Transformations

**Neppy Cat** is a resident of High Guardian Academy. Originally a normal cat, he was mutated into a monster by a spell.

## Physical Appearance

Neppy is an orange cat with green eyes with lighter orange parts on his belly and feet. He wears a blue collar on his neck. He initially starts off an ordinary cat with a rotund appearance. When he mutates to a monstrous form, he becomes a more anthropomorphic state with a hunched back. His front legs become arms complete with clawed human looking hands while his back legs remain looking cat-like.

## History

In the third episode, Sage talks about her troubles at school to an orange cat while brewing a spell in a cauldron. She muses over the idea of making a spell that would allow him to speak, and tells him he can choose which words, but only 5 and as long as none of them are swears.

Snap and Amaryllis follow Sage to the open lab and Snapdragon mocks Sage for how bad her cauldron smells. Amaryllis deliberately messes up Sage's spell, and it bubbles up and spills on a cat, causing it to mutate into a ferocious beast known as Neppy Cat. Neppy Cat says he has a mission and wreaks havoc across High Guardian Academy and the three try to calm him down. Luckily Thyme knocks him unconscious by shooting arrows into him, and he turns back to normal and falls asleep. Afterwards, an enraged Sage chews Amaryllis out and calls her a jerk. As Snapdragon witnesses her fury, he falls in love with her.

Despite his initally antagonistic nature, he later tries to help the heroes. When he heard Olive's plans to kill them, he alerted Thyme and generally has a good heart. He also shielded Parsley from being hit against the wall when they both were turned into stone.

## Trivia

* He speaks in Shakespherian English
* Unlike Olive and Kino he isn't based off of one of Raye Rodriguez's pets
* He was called "Tall Neppy" on his transformation model sheets.

LU 285 - Hallthorr 6

Basement log #2 "day" 4

Today was a little bit less interesting as me and Stanley both worked on our own things He worked on the arm and I worked on the togglable lights. About halfway through the day I checked the clothes from yesterday to find they were dried. I got changed back into my bee sweatshirt and told Stanley that the clothes had been cleaned.

Then I got back to working on the light system. I currently had a few lights turning off at the flick of a lever. After doing that, I went to the bed to find Stanley already asleep, so I got into bed and fell asleep hugging him.
LU 141 - Hallthorr 1

After that long day Vice and I walked home, only for Vice to tell me its... its my birthday. :O

They walked into the house looking for Frezz but found Space instead. [Memory Hallthorr "comes out"] After both Hallthorr and Vice tried to convince Space to leave so they could celebrate. Vice agrees to have a conversation with Space. They go upstairs and Hallthorr uses his antenna to sense what they are saying... turns out... Space 500.

After Vice and Space agreed to talk about it later so they could celebrate Hallthorr's birthday, they walk downstairs and take Hallthorr to the area where they can celebrate. After getting there, Hallthorr passes out and "no memory" Hallthorr "comes out" and Hallthorr is very happy about the birthday and notices the new writing in his journal but ignores it for now. Space gives Hallthorr a present and Vice says he will give his present once Frezz is there.

Memory Hallthor comes back out and then Vice passes out. Space and Hallthorr take him to his bed where Space "convinces" Hallthorr to let him sleep there. Hallthorr hiding the fact he is pissed, agrees, and goes to his own bed to sleep.
LU 265 - Scaffy 2

I was invited to war yesterday, this "Ophello" invited me and requested I help him in an incoming battle against a King named "Space". He offered to pay me with Netherite ingots and scaffoldings if I join in and fight with him, I agreed since I can always use more Scaffolding.

Fast forward to before the fight, I meet up with Ophello and the others and prepare to battle, it was like nothing i've ever seen. Cobwebs, potions and tons of enchanted crossbows. Whoever this person is really wanted to win this fight, we put on our equipment and headed to the battlefield.

It was chaos, screams and cries from every corner and people dropping left and right, I kept fighting until I heard running from behind me. I quickly turned and spat my venom at them before being knocked out, when I woke up Ophello informed me that we won.

We did it. I have no idea who defeated me but it doesn't matter. This was my first ever fight and not only did I survive it, I was in the winning team. I said my goodbyes to Ophello and this person Kearly before heading back home to tell May what happened.

When I made it she was going through her chest, I told her what happened and gifted her one of my crossbows. Apparently she made a farm and asked if it was a good idea if we started a bakery shop. I agreed and said I will help build it. After that I went to rest, this was a long but great day.
LU 274 - Scaffy 3

Scaffolding 1 (S1): "Nobody could deny it; I, Scaffolding one was the most average scaffolding in the Scaffolding cave", I thought this to myself as I prepared to get stacked with the others.

I cursed at my tardiness, catching sight of my reflection on the glass. I saw my Bamboo legs as green as perfect moss, and my spider web strings shiny as a pool of moon light, "God, I am one ugly piece of work," I sighed melodramatically. "No wonder I have no friends,"

"Hi there!" says Scaffolding 2 (S2). "You must be new here! My name is Scaffolding 2 (S2), Would you like me to show you around the Scaffolding cave?" S2 offered kindly.

S1 hissed away as her train of thought was suddenly interrupted by S2. "Ahhhh!" screamed S1. After a moment of silence, S1 nodded. "Yeah I would like that...hey that Scaffolding looks quite hot doesn't he?" S1 points at Scaffolding 3 (S3), S2 shrugs. "Yeah, no Scaffolding has a chance with that hot piece of grass!" suddenly S3 approached S1. "Hey." S1 looks at S2 for help "Huh?" S1 said, then S3 started lea-

May walks in to Scaffy's. "Hey Scaffy, have you talked to Kearly about the Bak- the hell were you just doing?" Scaffy holding 3 Scaffoldings "Uhhhhhhhh......This isn't what it looks like," said Scaffolding man.

May: "Then what are you doing?"

"Roleplaying with my Scaffolding," said Scaffy.

"Scaffy, you are my friend, but god you can be weird sometimes," said May.
LU 172 - Dr. Thornberry 43

As I was looking down at the map in the throne room, I heard a bell ring downstairs. I quickly ran down and greeted the man with a smile. After telling me who he was, Rox, he also went on to tell me his whole life story. Of course, I wasn’t disinterested, but he was taking up my precious time. He seems to have stumbled his way into town after getting lost in some cave.

We continued talking, when this guy just comes in and sits down next to us. We were a bit confused, because who just sits in the middle of someones conversation? The people of the town get weirder by the day. This man wasn’t just abnormal, but he was also a bloody idiot.

*”Whats this thing?"*

*”A turkey.”*

*”A terky?”*

Even Rox looked exhausted. I hate children. Or people with the minds of children. So annoying.

I decided to just continue my talk with Rox about information on the Empire, but the turkey man, known as Isra, kept interrupting us. With what? Questions about the stupid turkey. I could barely stand him anymore.

I slowly lifted myself up out of my seat, grabbed my knife, and slaughtered the turkey.

*”WHAAAAAAA WHAT DID YOU DO? WAAAAAAAAA”*

Goddamit he’s even *more* annoying now. I clenched my hands at the sound of mindless crying and tried to control myself.

But before I stabbed this innocent citizen out of frustration, he ran out of the building. I relaxed my stance and took Rox upstairs so no one else bothered us.

He looked around for a moment until his eyes settled on the map.

He asked if I was planning builds and whatnot. Being the wonderful liar I am, I said yes.

We talked for a few minutes more, and he went on and on about how he wants to “be a king” and “be cool.” I laughed and just told him to dream. He could never get to my position.
LU 256 - Space 45

Today was the big day, the day I rounded up my men and killed off the rebels. I went around Spawn, gathering everyone who could hold a sword. During my recruiting phase, I ran into Mira accompanied by a familiar-looking stranger in the police station.

He told me he was Styg, which shocked me a bit; how the hell is he still alive?

I eventually got him to tell me; Katharos cursed him, keeping him alive as punishment for his crimes as a shardling. I explained how I was similarly kept alive by Katharos' sword, which he found interesting.

After that chat, I explained that I had to attend a fight and dragged Mira with me to go fight it. Once there with all my soldiers, I got a good look at everyone who was there. There were people I assumed would be there like Kearly and Vert, and people I didn't expect like Ophello and Funnii.

Filled with pride and rage, I initiated the fight by sprinting at the group of rebels with my sword in-hand. However things quickly turned for the worst. I was caught off-guard by Ophello, and sealed in a ball of cobwebs. He knocked me out, and everything went black...

When I woke up, everything was a disaster. All my men, except Nekane and Vice, were standing, and Kearly was mocking us with Ophello and Vert. They walked over and began to talk about their reward for beating us, but I wasn't going to admit defeat just like that.

I offered to have a gentlemen's duel, but they bested me and Vice with relative ease; this was humiliating. My army was defeated, ***I*** was defeated. I could feel everything I've been working towards for almost a year now, slip out of my grasp.

Kearly suggested he simply kill me, but I wasn't going to die; not here, not like this. I told him that I would give him ownership of Spawn if he just left me and Vice alone. He went to discuss this with his group, then came back and reluctantly agreed to my offer. I made sure to emphasize that I'd be taking my empire with me, and they they had the red mass to deal with.

I explained the entire situation with the mass and Agaric, then gave them the directions to go there and take care of it. From there, I wished the men well and took my leave. Before I left, Kearly told me that if I walked away now, I wouldn't be allowed to come back. I stopped for a second, but kept walking with Vice.

I got back to my castle after many months of being in Spawn, and collapsed in my throne; I was exhausted and heavily wounded from this fight and the tree fight. Thoughts began to spin in my head as I considered all my options - should I stay here insolitude and passively build back up my empire? Should I raise my own rebellion and take a crack at revenge?

I don't know, but losing all my power in Spawn in one day was way too much to fathom right now. I dozed off and passed out in my throne, hoping that tomorrow would be much better.
LU 39 - Dr. Thornberry 9

I felt bad today. Quite awful to be honest. So of course, I had to take it off on someone. Which would be Ivy. Why you may ask? Well it's a child, fun to torture, innocent, cries quickly, easily scared, blah blah. My exact description of fun. So despite the bet I had with Hallthor, I went to Ivy's new jungle to drag it back. When I asked it to go with me, it refused, so I knocked it out and brought it back to my lab. Lugging a child up a hill did *not* make my mood any better. As soon as we got into the cell, I kicked it a bit to wake it up. They were confused and scared but that made my pleasure all the better! I set it ablaze, hit it, gave it drugs, just a bunch of silly little things for my enjoyment. It did pass out a few times which was annoying. But while I was having my fun, the child just went limp. When I went to kick it back awake again, Echo came back. Ugh Echo, that's no fun. Echo then informed me that Ivy... died? I mean aren't children supposed to be able to endure more pain? That's not fun, I was only 10% finished with my fun. Of course, since it was Echo, they just blabbered on and on about how I'm a murderer, and a monster, which to be honest is true, but of course I didn't admit to it. I know I'm a murderer, but I can't stop it's just too fun. I'll be honest though, I usually don't like to kill my subjects, I'm more of a torture fanatic. Anyway... I drank my favorite drink-thick water- while Echo's tears poured out of their eyes. They threatened to kill me for the millionth time.

*"You have no idea the amount of up you have just fucked."* Echo whispered.

*"Well I haven't fucked much so I'm quite happy with that."* Thornberry retorted.

Echo was too angry for my jokes. Unfortunate, since I thought that was a good one. And of course, they ended up escaping. Oh well, I couldn't care less. I was too busy trying to find someone else to have fun with...
LU 219 - Space 42

After getting to Spawn, Vice and I prepared him to go get Boulty from Funnii. Once I sent him off, I just kicked back and waited for him in the police office.

Then, something hit me: I still had that deal to fulfill. I looked over and saw Shroom sleeping in her cell; I decided to start my end of the deal. I walked over and woke Shroom up, then made some small talk with that wretched criminal. Then, I threw some cuffs on her and dragged her to the red mass, asking her about her faith to her ideals along the way.

Once at the house, I swam into the side entrance to the mass and pulled Shroom to the small tunnel down to the "captive holder" part of the mass. I threw Shroom down, watching with glee as she shrieked the whole way down. Then I simply waltzed out of there, swiftly making my way back to where I was.

While drying myself off, it occurred to me that I just sent Shroom to die, essentially killing her. Normally I would feel nothing, but without the sword I felt... guilty; I almost regretted sending that nuisance to die. It felt weird, seeing as I've never directly or otherwise killed someone. However, the more it sank in, the more I felt comfortable with the face.

After some waiting and more stewing, I heard Vice snoring in the office out front. I walked over and saw him dozing off on the desk; heh, cute. I woke him up and started to ask about his trip to Funnii's. It went smoothly, and he successfully got Boulty back. On top of that, apparently what took him so long was that he made a detour to talk to Mira about the mass and such.

Once Vice explained everything else, he showed me where Boulty was. I had to stand there to take in seeing him again, and new feelings started to bubble up; feelings an actual parent would feel- sympathy, guilt, sadness, etc.

After snapping out of it, I grabbed Boulty, who was nothing but skin and bone, and went back to my place with Vice. We laid him down on a spare bed, then got into our own bed and passed out.
LU 111 - Space 21

I went to go thank Frezz for putting the wardens in my town, but I couldn't find him in his place. I decided to look around for him, but I instead ran into Vice running for his life. I was caught off-guard by him being here, and quickly put together that Frezz lied to me majorly; Amathis mocked me for being foolish, but I told him to can it. I asked how Vice has been and how long they've been here, and apparently he's been here since the day he disappeared. Suppressing my rage, I tried to convince Vice to leave since he's being held here, but he... Didn't want to? God fucking damnit Frezz, what did you do to my pawn. I pulled the emotional card and multiple logic cards, but even that didn't work; Vice feels that they're hated by spawn, and feels overwhelmed by spawn's demands. I reassured Vice, and told him that if he needed a break he could stay with me. Alas, he was insistent about staying here. I reluctantly agreed to let him stay, but told him I'd be coming by every day to check up on him. He seemed happy with that compromise, so I bid Vice farewell and made my way out of these warden tunnels. However, before doing so, I told Vice to grab a weapon and follow me. I approached the remaining wardens in here (the antisocial one and the aggressive one) , and had Vice unwillingly help me kill them. I hadn't killed anything in a bit, so this was a bit of a rush for me. Once done, I wished vice well and actually left. When I made it back to spawn, I made my way over to the wardens at spawn and slaughtered every last one of them. Frezz is probably planning to use vice against me, so I can't let him sick these freaks on me as well. I haven't felt any raw emotions in 500 years, but this anger lit up my soul like a blazing fire. I was used, *again*.

I assumed I learned my lesson, but now I'm sure I learned it the hard way. After a madman's massacre, I sat down on a bench and pulled Amathis out of my Shulk pocket. He asked if I was happy with what I did, and I said that I truthfully was. We got talking about Vice, and I vented about what happened today. He suggested I teach him a lesson, and we brainstormed how to do that. He pitched lynching the kid in town, but I said that was too brutal. I pitched making vice kill Frezz for me to send a message, and he seemed pleased with that idea. This way, Vice will learn the hard way what happens when he goes against my wishes. Then we talked about how close we were, and Amathis said that I was a decent friend to him, despite him disliking me at times. Once hearing that, I explained my death-cheating plan to stab Amathis into me and ruling the world with him; he was very happy with the plan, and seemed more than willing to do it. I made sure he wouldn't kill my consciousness though, since I caught onto that being a catch. Although, if he does betray me and kills me, that still frees me from this hell on earth; so, a solid win-win. When I was done ranting and getting my thoughts out, I went back into my office and sat down to relax. I'm going to make Frezz severely regret double-crossing me.
