Couldn't see most of the pictures, oh well. Doesn't matter. Good chapter.
aaand just a glitch. Always is. No worries
The pictures come up fine for me.
Good to hear all is up and running
Yeah for me too... Well it's Thursday night here so that must mean Malley has been operated on (or about to be), I hope it all goes/went well!
Thanks! I'm alive and well, so that's good news
Chapter 5- A Tale of Two VampiresAll of my requirements were complete except for one thing: I still needed two 5,000 point wishes. I tried doing everything gardening and cooking related that I could think of to help myself roll these last two wishes so I could continue on with the dynasty. I tried learning more recipes to see if I could spark another wish, but to no avail.
At least I learned some sweet new recipes out of it.
I decided to take a walk outside to clear my head and to hopefully think of some more ideas to spark those last two wishes. I found some nice harvestables and some special seeds that I collected to later plant in my garden.
I planted my findings in my garden and then went back inside to cook some dinner for myself. I settled on some autumn salad this evening. I also thought that maybe I should make some drinks for Camillo and myself tonight after dinner to help both of us unwind. Wait a minute...drinks? Mixology?
That gave me a wonderful idea-I could max the Mixology skill! Hopefully that would allow me to roll another 5,000 point wish and be one step closer to completing my requirements. As a chef, it would be a great opportunity to learn more about what drinks are paired well with what meals and what to avoid. Perhaps, when this was all over, I could share what I've learned with the cooks at my palace.
The next few days I spent in a routine: sleep, eat, read mixology books and repeat. While cooking one of my meals, I managed to max my Cooking skill, thus completing one of the wishes I rolled quite a while ago.
Camillo also accomplished something tremendous that same day. He had maxed the writing skill. That, paired with his already completed painting skill, allowed him to complete his Lifetime Wish. Congrats, darling!
While scurrying to finish my final wishes, Camillo took care of my garden at night. He was pretty excited to tell me that one of the special seeds that I planted ended up being a money tree seed. A wonderful find, for sure!
Camillo spent his nights in the garden and his days at the easel. He did his best to help me in any way that he could. With all of his paintings that he's done, Camillo actually managed to supermax the painting skill. His paintings were always beautiful and were now really turning into quite the scene in the art world. Camillo was getting quite the salary from selling his paintings.
My eyes were nearly ready to cross from all of the reading I had done over the past few days in the attempt to roll another 5,000 point wish.
And it was all worth it! I rolled my wish and quickly finished the last few pages of the mixology book to max the skill.
I headed to my bedroom and told Camillo all about my accomplishment. I had done it. I had done everything my parents had set out for me to do in order to bring in the next heir. I was once a Princess with little experience doing things on her own and now, I had accomplished something great and I had done it myself. I was so very proud and very relieved at the same time.
Now that I was done with my accomplishments, I told Camillo that it was time to bring in the next heir. Camillo wasn't entirely thrilled about this premise because he
Disliked Children. He, however, told me that he would do whatever it took to help me achieve my goals and I took him up on his offer.
Camillo surprised me with a trip to the spa the next day. I enjoyed my time there. It had been a long while since the last time that I had been in the spa so I wanted to enjoy every moment of it. I had to leave early, however, but if was for a wonderful reason
I really think that Camillo doesn't dislike children as much as he claimed. He was very excited and was an excellent help to me.
I woke up one morning with some extremely intense pain. I had never felt pain like this before. It was quite unexpected.
At least that's what I was thinking when I had brief moments of painlessness.
But those moments were far and few between.
I decided that enough was enough and had Camillo take me to this hospital. We were pleased to welcome our daughter, Luna, into the world. She was
Athletic and
Evil. Most importantly, she was also a vampire.
But the real surprise came moments later. The reason? We were also pleased to welcome a son, Orion. He was a
Genius who
Loves the Outdoors. The big surprise was that he was also a vampire. Camillo and I were now the proud parents to two little vampyboos!
