    I would smack his hand away, calm down the rebels, and make myself Empress. He would still have no royal power and together we are going to fix his mess. Then turn all the nobles whom manipulated him into peasants as punishment. I would still stay with him because he's not terrible to live with.

    I'm so torn omg.
    On the one side I want to be strong. Say no. "I have to stay. These are my people! I need to help them.
    Go. I won't send anyone after you. If I have to I'll say you're dead. But I cannot come with you. I am the only one they have left. Please understand."
    And on the other side I wanna be like "Yes! I've always felt something for you. I will go with you and start anew."
    But honestly, the first version is just so much more dramatic and fits the character I had in mind better. SO ARE Y'ALL READY FOR A BADASS EMPRESS OF PEACE AND MAGIC? CAUSE I AM!
    On another note, since it appears the Arrogant Prince/Mad Emperor series is over now, this was amazing. The first video of this series was the first I saw from you Hollow and I fell in love with it instantly, binged through all of it and all your other videos on this world. I loved the plot twist and all the lore and all the facets of his character.
    Can't wait to see what you'll treat us with next!

    Epilogue:
    She looked back and forth from Pharos’ outstretched hand to the open door leading to the rest of the castle. Finally she closed her eyes, pained, before opening them again to reveal pure fire behind them.
    “Enough of this,” she growled, grabbing the Emperor’s hand and dragging him behind her through the castle. She hardly noticed his protests, and all of his attempts to escape barely registered through her adrenaline barrier. She did not let go of her vice grip on his hand until she burst through the front doors, coming face-to-face with the revolution.
    Once again, she yelled “Enough of this!” as lightning flashed in the sky. Quickly muttering under her breath, she conjured another bolt of lightning and brought it down between the castle entrance and the rabble. This act left everyone in shock, including Pharos. The alleged Empress-to-be was a mage?
    “We are going to put this to rest, right at this moment,” she declared, looking across the sea of faces of her would-be countrymen. “I may not be your leader in any official capacity, but I will not stand for this any longer, from ANY of you,” she said this last bit as she turned to look at Pharos.
    “Your Emperor was deceived,” she explained; still loudly, still powerfully. “He did wrong by you all, and there is no excusing that, but there is an explanation, and where there is an explanation there is an opportunity for redemption.”
    She began to walk in amongst the people with their pitchforks, torches and swords, and wherever she walked, people miraculously lowered their weapons. “He listened to all the wrong people, took all the wrong advice. I dare say you’ve already made quick work of those to whom he listened. But now, if given the chance to listen to you - to all of you, directly - I believe he will make a good Emperor.”
    She was now standing in the very midst of the rebellion, and the entire company had already laid down their arms. “I was once leader to some of you. You know you can trust me. If you won’t trust him, then trust me. He will have me to guide him, as well as you to guide him. Now then,” she began marching back to the front of the company. “Are there any among you who are literate?” When several people identified themselves, she continued; “Good. You will all help me restore the arcane knowledge destroyed in the passion of grief. I promise you I will do my part right alongside all of you to put things right again. In the meantime, what other issues need addressing?”
    Pharos watched in complete awe. She was a mage, she had rained lightning from the sky and yet nobody was dead. She was immediately involved with her subjects, not allowing any meddling nobility to interject themselves as middlemen. She wasn’t just ruling; she was leading. And what’s more... she was protecting him. He thought there had been only two options; escape together, or leave each other behind. She had found a third way, one that solved all the problems facing them.
    When the rabble dispersed and she at last walked back through the castle doors, he found himself unable to move, but merely to stare at her. Noticing this, she turned to face him, crossing her arms.
    “Well?” she said. “What are you waiting for? Get a shift on. Are you ready for a second chance both at leading your people and at our eventual marriage, or aren’t you?” With that, she kept her stern expression and continued to march down the hall.
    .

    • @Nizati
      @Nizati 3 года назад +15

      To be honest, he was young, untrained, mourning and manipulated. Yeah, he did wrong, HELLA wrong, but someone else had been clearly pulling his strings to act that way. There's no guarantee Listener could sway a bloodthirsty mob, and they might just as easily turn on her as well for trying to defend this guy.
      Most arrogant people in this position would have had a paranoid mental breakdown as everyone he has ever trusted and the life he has known is crumbling around him. Instead he IS admitting he had fucked up, and fucked up Royally.
      Sometimes, the best move is to retreat so you can live to take responsibility another day. Knowing when to do so is a sign of a good leader.

His heart would be broken and with our hurtful history behind us, we might just be tempted to give in and reunite with Pharos instead. But oh, the risks! And oh, the angst!!

    This was simply sublime! The raw emotion, the fear in Pharos' voice made me shudder and filled me with a sense of foreboding. The knowledge that he is both the villain getting his comeuppance after harming so many innocent people and a victim whose grief was used against him made him such a dynamic and enjoyable character. If you decide to continue this storyline, perhaps you would consider doing two separate videos so we can choose for ourselves whether we would take his hand and flee or stay and help put things back together (hopefully with or without the choice to execute our beloved should he happen to get caught fleeing.)

    Probably one of my absolute favorite audio series of all time. It's so hard to make a choice like the one at the end of the audio. On one hand, Pharos needs someone to be with him, otherwise, he's just as dead as he would be if he stayed. He's going mad, if he hasn't already, and he needs someone to keep him grounded. On the other, the kingdom needs someone they can unite under. If you decide to stay, you're guaranteed a safe life (unless you fuck up and get manipulated as well).
    It all comes down to whether you want a life for personal gain or a life for the general public. For me, I think I'd chose the first option. I've genuinely fallen in love with Pharos as a character.

    The incessant knock on my door disturbed my daily meditation. I have been asking the goddess Veahna to give me wisdom in helping my would be husband in dealing with the impending storm that's brewing. My handmaiden greeted him but as soon as he spoke, I shivered. His anxiety is palpable I could almost touch it. War is upon us. Angrily, I riled at him for taking our kingdom.
    "You deserve this! Your father's greed for power has earned your kingdom retribution from the gods!" I bit out in frustration and fear. Fear for my people's safety, for his own people's safety. They have been nothing but kind to me since I was brought here. If anything, they shouldn't be in the middle of this catastrophe. At my words, he stopped and looked as if I slapped him. He looked so forlorn as when he apologized for his mistakes I heard a hint of sadness and was that longing? Taking a deep breath I tried to calm myself down as I felt desperation coming off of Pharos in waves . I remember what my mother said: " Know that a man sometimes may not see his enemy reflected in the mirror, as queen your duty is to be a light so he can." I looked out the window at the vast land... What do I do? Run? Where? Why should I pay for his mistakes?...
    Why should he? He's been manipulated by the nobles too. Yes, he's supposed to be my enemy but something told me this story could have a different ending. If I wanted it to.
    Squaring my shoulders I asked my maid to open the heavy wooden chest with ornate patterns and to take out my red and gold trimmed gown the best one she managed to pack on short notice. He looked hopeful thinking that I finally decided to go with him and flee but this princess is tired of running. Running usually made things worse. I steeled myself against the panic in his voice as he implored me to hurry and take my belongings. My heart thumped so hard it's a wonder I didn't faint.
    I can do this. We can survive this. I kept thinking and telling myself. ."Allow us a few minutes." I told him as I shut to door to the en suite. He looked bewildered but nodded. Amaya my trustworthy handmaiden made a difficult task lighter.But, when she tightened the ribbons on me I felt as if a noose was being wound on my neck that I asked her to cease for a moment. I felt like I was going to be ill. I breathed in and out all the while thinking if I have lost my mind.
    Can I really bring myself to stay with Pharos? Someone as arrogant as him? Someone who treats peasants like dirt? I looked at my reflection and at Amaya. She nodded in sympathy.
    "Princess, he's not all that bad. You may not know but after you told him during dinner that you wished for the peasants to be included as wedding guests, he asked the scribes to write an invitation for each one of them. He also asked me about your favorite meals so he can have the royal cook prepare it. He asked how you were doing when you didn't want to speak with him after that huge spat you had about his father's and brothers deaths. He's also shown interest in our kingdom's culture and asked me for books he can read on the matter." Surprised I was to say the least at this revelation. Smiling a bit I hugged my maid and thanked her for being steadfast. Stepping out
    his anxious face greeted me as I slowly sat beside him.
    "I will not run." I declared. Sighing, he looked defeated. "So will you." I continued in a determined voice. " We will not run. I will speak to my people about your kindness to me. We will deal with the nobles. You are an emperor. It's time you start acting like one." With that, he stared further at me like I'd grown antlers. Standing up I headed for the door but stopped.
    Turning around and smiling I told him:
    "Yes, I will take your hand, Pharos...I take your hand not as an arrogant prince or a mad emperor but because I hope for all the good you could possibly be. I take your hand with hope that your wisdom will be far greater than your arrogance; with the hope that in time you will be a strong, benevolent leader; that we can one day make our kingdoms a prosperous and peaceful land for everyone-not just those vipers who seek to destroy. I give you my hand with the hope that you will be my friend, my confidante, and maybe one day my loving husband. I give you my hand in hopes that underneath that usually snooty facade is a tenderhearted man; one with honor and one I can share many laughs with. I give you my hand and my promise. And yes, this isn't just a pipe dream after all."

    @0nebulae0 3 года назад +7

    If you'll allow me...
    I stare at his hand for a couple seconds, slowly moving my hand to hover just an inch above his. "In fact..." A grin starts forming on my face, as flames appear on the palm of my hand, which I hold up beside my head. "I don't think I'll follow you, my dear" I say in a low tone, looking straight into his eyes. Pharos' face lose all color with the realization of what's going on. "Who do you think gave my people the idea of killing the Emperor?"
    "What- what are you saying?" He sutters in disbelief. The only person he thought to be innocent turned out to be the one behind all this mess?
    "Your father commanded the raid on my kingdom. He was the one who ordered the bloodshed of my people. We were all living in peace, minding our own business, when your psychopath father started killing my citizens" I raise my voice, putting out the flames on my hand and slowly walking torwards Pharos, who starts walking backwards. "My own coven, my brothers and sisters were massacred in cold blood, leaving barely three of them alive. THREE. And you think I'm just going to marry you? And live happily ever after?"
    Pharos hits the wall behind him, and I push him against it with the magic flowing from my hands. A soft purple glow envelops him whole, slowly getting more and more tight around him. "H-how could you do that?" He dares to ask, still talking as an Emperor despite the position he finds himself in.
    "HOW COULD _YOUR FATHER_ MURDER _MY_ PEOPLE?" The magical grip around him tightens, making him struggle to breathe. "He paid for his actions..." My voice gets lower again, doing my best to keep myself calm. "And you will pay for yours. Hundreds of years worth of magical knowledge wiped in only a couple days because of you. Dozens of mages across the land murdered in cold blood because of you" The grip gets tighter for a second before I let go, making Pharos start coughing and take a hand to his chest, regaining his breathing. "Go, run away with your gold and jewels like the coward you are"
    "What? You won't excecute me in front of everyone?" He sounds almost disappointed, as if he was expecting me to do so.
    "I'm not like your family, Pharos. I'm not like _you._ I'm giving you the opportunity to escape and never be seen again, so take it before I change my mind. And once you're gone, I will make myself ruler of this kingdom and retake my own. I will treat these people the way you and your family should have, with respect and dignity. I will make your kingdom a better place, and you will be remembered as the stupid child who couldn't rule for three days before an uprising happened"
    Pharos stands up straight, taking his bag of riches and bowing before me. "If that is the case, long live the emperor, may they reign for eternity" He says before walking out the door to never be seen by me again.

    Become the empress, stay with him, fuck up those wicked nobles. Honestly, he's not all that bad, he even compromised when he was planning to commit genocide, showing that what the listener thought mattered to him. If anything, I feel bad for him for getting his grief taken advantaged of, I know how that feels. Poor bb Pharos.

    I _really_ wanna be all like "So how's that whole 'burn all mages and whoever doesn't agree with me' -thingy working out for you, dear? 😤", but the situation seems so dire that I just don't have the heart when I hear how panicked he is. 😂
    I'd want to let him go alone and start anew, should the people listen to me I could cover up his tracks. He's not blameless, but I would want to see if he's willing to atone for his crimes and I'm sure the people's patience is past spent for that. And should the Mad Emperor become but a terrible memory to the people later down the line, I'd wish to reunite with him and see what he's made of his life in hiding. *sigh* But something tells me he couldn't make it all by himself, if he was so easily swayed by the nobility's words. 😩

    So I just binged this whole Mad Emperor story and, my goodness! First, this story is incredible! Like seriously, if you wrote a book about this, I'd read the heck out of it. Second, I love this character. Pharos's personality was not what I expected and I loved it. Third, that ending though! It makes me want to write my own continuation of what happened to them. I won't though, I'll leave that to you since it's your story. But dang, wonderful job, man! I can honestly say that Pharos is now on my list of favorite characters from you, next to Cypher, Aki, and Ramses. Wonderful job!

    "Go. Leave this place, but watch you back. Do not be foolish or lighthanded with what wealth you may carry there, or you will fall for another snake's cunning. This is the fragment of love I have for you: I did not see or hear anything from you, nor do I know of where you have gone. And I will have no intention of searching for you.
    This so called glorious reign that your farther started, is nothing but a fire, a fire your short reign has fed into an inferno. But I will not turn that fire against you. I will cease it. For a long time, there will be rain, but these people are strong. They will survive and break through the gray days to see the light again. But you... you will be the source of a never-ending deluge for as long as I remember you. And I will never forget you."
