Plot Ideas
1.
Shadow Syndicate[/u]:
Subaia wants to take over the Kingdom, yes? At the same time, support in the SxS is slowly but surely turning towards Sasori, yes? Well, what if Subaia decided to gain control over the Kingdom, he had to conduct an internal Coup D'état done by the townsfolk and palace workers. In the midst of this, Sasori does his
own Coup D'état of the SxS. So the Kingdom Takeover Plan utterly fails in the end and Subaia attempts to destroy both Hirrak and SxS by causing a miniature war between the two.
How he starts the war? … Uh, kidnaps someone and pretends SxS did it? I’m rather iffy on the logical details in this idea, so it’s simply a quick sketch.
2.
The Foreign Kingdom[/u]:
But after the SxS Coup D'état is done and over with, we start this plot by having Queen Laya and King Coly meet and greet another Kingdom’s King & Queen. Up until now, both Kingdoms have had an alliance and gotten along perfectly. But in the midst of Apple’s marriage, Laya’s little goat, Coly being locked in the cellar, and the SxS plot, the other Kingdom’s original Queen died and a new evil one took over. This Queen has convinced the King that Hirrak’s Royalty is unworthy of an alliance and it would be to both Kingdoms’ benefits if the other Kingdom simply took over Hirrak.
Under the guise of continuing the friendly alliance, the foreign King, Queen, Heir and Heiress come to Hirrak. Their plan is very simple: eliminate all of Coly and Laya’s little goats whilst spreading a disease their alchemist created that infects both humans and crops. Without goats, Kingdoms tend to fall to pieces. When disease affects the people and the crops, causing both to die and resulting in famine and something akin to a plague, the people start to like their rulers a
lot less.
And then~! Lightning takeover.
Unlike SxS’s failed takeover attempt, we could say the evil Kingdom
wins[/u] in this one. (Coly and Laya’s goats don’t die, though; they’re only imprisoned and believed dead.) So King and Queen can go into hiding and have to think up some elaborate scheme to take back the Kingdom.
3.
Gypsy Chaos[/u]:
This is a continuation of the second plot idea. King and Queen can hide in the Gypsy grounds and convince the Gypsies to help them. Since Apple married Orion, they can also convince the elves to help them.
But~! Let’s say this isn’t enough help.
The foreign Kingdom has already stationed their militia in Hirrak. Instead of treating the Hirrak natives well (to earn their loyalty), they’re sacrificing them for immortality. But we can’t get the help of the Hirrak people – they think the entire Hirrak Bloodline (Coly, Laya, Apple, and Laya’s kid – and Alze and Rosie) are dead.
So, the harebrained scheme of getting the disbanded SxS to help pops up! From there, a vague idea is thought up to infiltrate Hirrak under various disguises with the help of those that have managed to stay inside Hirrak (such as palace workers). The basics of this plan are equally as simple as the foreign Kingdom’s plan: get the foreign Royalty to fight amongst themselves, thus isolating them and making them weaker. Then, take them out and take back the Kingdom.
4.
The Theft[/u]:
Peace has returned to Hirrak and King Coly is almost done with his Magic School. All he needs now are the magic students from various countries to arrive. But, as they arrive, they mysteriously vanish. At night, townsfolk claim that they see the ghosts of these vanished students and that they steal their valuable items.
At first, such reports are dismissed as tomfoolery. King Coly sets up a recovery team to find the missing students. The team goes missing as well.
Then, something extremely valuable locked away in the Palace is
stolen. Witnesses claim it was “The Ghosts” of the retrieval team and students.
In reality, all these people have become puppets (literally) to some puppet master (not Subaia). When the Kingdom tries to stop the puppet master, he is several steps ahead. So far ahead, in fact, that he manages to make someone of the Royal Family a puppet!
Clearly, this is a pickle that requires one Yami The God’s assistance.
5.
The Kitsune Oddity[/u]:
Lillith’s child is finally born! Hooray~! Where the child is born, a rainbow begins and goes off into the distance. The rainbow eventually fades away – and in its wake, the father arrives.
Uh-oh!
So it turns out that in Kitsune society, the father broke some kind of rule (not involing Lillith or the child) and to fix it, he plans on sacrificing Lillith and the kid to some Kitsune deity.
Specifically: Yami The God (because Inari does not live in Hirrak).
That’s about all I have on this idea.
6.
The False King[/u]:
With King Coly distracted with his completed Magic School and Laya in perfect condition to conduct her secret escape ploy, the planning has officially begun! Laya wills the throne to Princess Apple and Prince Orion. She even manages to trick King Coly into signing the will as well. This will is then protected by various spells and copied a thousand times over. The Kingdom is secured.
Queen Laya and Marc make plans to settle in the Elven Kingdom. But in the midst of all this planning and preparing, King Coly becomes deathly ill. Of course, this brings joy to Laya as the Kingdom will fall into the safe hands of her daughter and son-in-law sooner than expected. But miraculously, the King does a full recovery in two minutes!
Except, King Coly acts… off now. He is not himself. He cares not for the Magic School and conspires a way to keep Apple and Orion from becoming the next King and Queen. At the same time, he destroys all previous alliances and forges new ones with enemies such as one with the Kingdom that tried to take over Hirrak.
The cause of King Coly’s sudden character change is uncertain. But when he burns the magic school he worked so hard to achieve to the ground and orders the unnecessary death of thousands of Hirrak citizens… Well, it’s apparent something must be done.
I have no idea what the cause of King Coly’s character change could be (other than the disease) and this idea ends pretty much here.
7.
War of the Deities[/u]:
Hirrak is ruled peacefully by Queen Apple and King Orion. Ex-Queen Laya and Marc live happily in the Elven Kingdom. Ex-King Coly is the Headmaster of his wondrous school. Jester Alze has been missing for some time, off on some unknown adventure with Zephyr, but sends letters to everyone of the Royal Family.
For once, a thick and welcomed fog of peace has settled across the Kingdom.
Until thunder brews amidst the Gods.
It seems some Gods want to start a Council, while others want to start a War. Some want complete control over the world, others want to share peacefully. Needless to say, issues arise from all these desires.
The inevitable victims of the Gods chaos? Well, those living on the world.
To make the sudden power struggle worse, a striking discovery is made.
[/b] of the Great Sister Gods remained a God and with half the power she’d originally held. After several years, she’s managed to scrap herself towards the top again – but we know not, anymore, which of the female Gods she is exactly. Nor do we know where the other Great Sister Gods disappeared to. They were likely born together, as the remaining God tied a blood bond amidst them to keep them from being born scattered across the globe. But the other Gods likely interfered by keeping the Sister Gods separate from one another in their mortality—”
“THEY’RE MORTAL?!”
“Yes. Please refrain from screaming in my ear. And what have I said of interr—”
“Why?! Why would they do something so cruel to such nice people?”
“Because that is how the Gods operate. They are not nice people.”
“You just said the Great Sister Gods were kindhearted.”
“They were an anomaly.”
“Oh, how nice you are to the Gods! No wonder you’re an Aid now.”
“Watch it, my dear little Jester, I hold a fork in this hand—”
“Ooo~! I’m so scared!”
Zephyr stood up slowly, his tall form looming dangerously over the little Jester. Alze eeped. With a shriek, she zoomed off shouting that she literally
was scared now. Of course, the Aid and Jester were merely playing.

In just: one of “The Great Sister Gods” has stumbled across a prophecy that preordains the return of these once powerful Gods. The other Gods will do anything to stop it: including the utter annihilation of the planet.
