hello I was reading Practical Guide To Evil when I realized something that I feel particularly stupid for not having noticed earlier, it's simple Catherine Foundling is Taylor Hebert. I mean, they are so similar in so many ways you could interchange them, the Masters in place of each other and their story, the storyline wouldn't change at all or barely Maybe it's just me who is new, but I can't help but see it that way.

2024-12-21 21:49:35 +0000 UTCInteresting to see Catherine showing up. I'm expecting her and Perseus to butt heads hard. Kairos was never interested in anything more than spreading chaos and living life to the full, as he defined that. From day one Catherine was a builder. She practically defined the New Order in Practical Guide and she is absolutely going to want to do the same here. This means she will but heads with Perseus and be even worse for the order of Olympus then Perseus/Kairos has been.

2024-12-21 16:48:21 +0000 UTC"she can't summon demons right now" Those last two words aren't ominous at all. Nope!

2024-12-21 16:44:24 +0000 UTCOh I am definitely happy we got Warden Cat here. She's my favorite PGTE character so I'm super excited for her own brand of insanity to join the fun. She's not a particularly good magic user but I suspect she'll be formidable nonetheless. Also looking forward to seeing if she still has her good old Warden aspects. Also poor Bianca, no one wants to teach her magic.

2024-12-17 17:53:42 +0000 UTCOooooooh my. I think things are about to get DRAMATIC.

2024-12-17 17:38:30 +0000 UTCOK excellent, this is really one of my three favorite stories with odd and waever option. It coincidence in the name, my three favorite stories, it's you who writes them. Honestly I don't regret having paid for the patreon when I have a bigger source of income, I plan to increase. you are truly one of the best writers I know.

2024-12-17 14:51:39 +0000 UTCTrue, though you have to remind yourself, Kairos died in his first life before some came around, so since he is not omniscient, some he is definitely aware of (ans some he wasn't interested into, admitedly).

2024-12-17 13:26:25 +0000 UTCHa! That is going to be answered in another chapter, I'm afraid (evil grin).
Antony444
2024-12-17 13:24:59 +0000 UTCThat would indeed be very ironic for sure (evil grin).

2024-12-17 13:24:02 +0000 UTCHey Antony here are all the titles of Catherine. I just wanted to share them. general of the 15th Legion of Terror the Squire • the Warden of Calernia the (Black) Queen of Callow • Duchess of Moonless Nights • Queen of Lost And Found • lady of marchford • Arch-heretic of the east First under the night Saint of impossible victories • Hard-handed goddess of blood and mud Carrion Queen Queen of the Wild Hunt • Lately Queen Warlord Captain of Rat Company Keeper of the Liesse Accords • Leader of the Woe Queen of Air and Darkness

2024-12-17 10:23:35 +0000 UTCIsn't it 'Gods, save us from the Black Queen!' ? And if you think Triumphant would be better...nah, she wouldn't be. There wouldn't be anything looking like the current order. Kairos using them is that because he had a perfect understanding of how his Aspects worked in his first life, and this understanding passed on in his new life. So yeah, Catherine and Triumphant have the same advantages, though Triumphant is hindered by the fact she can't summon demons right now.

2024-12-17 09:48:59 +0000 UTCAn interesting question, thank you. And unfortunately, one I won't ask here and now...
Antony444
2024-12-17 09:46:13 +0000 UTCAll hail!
Antony444
2024-12-17 09:45:32 +0000 UTCHmm...no. Alabaster Torrington is a child of Hecate living in Hecate's Barrack. He can be classified as a Sorcerer, however.
Antony444
2024-12-17 09:45:20 +0000 UTCShe was. I changed it in this story per my author's authority.
Antony444
2024-12-17 09:43:12 +0000 UTCCome on, you know he deserves it...just not like he's used to, that said.
Antony444
2024-12-17 09:42:44 +0000 UTCYep. One minute after the fact: my daughter is back! One Quest later: why the hell did I order something that made sure my daughter was back?
Antony444
2024-12-17 09:42:19 +0000 UTCThe Olympians wouldn't like that at all. They have their roots in Greece, and so is Mount Olympus.
Antony444
2024-12-17 09:41:23 +0000 UTCIndeed, you did. Long live the Warden!
Antony444
2024-12-17 09:40:53 +0000 UTCGlad you liked it!

2024-12-17 09:40:35 +0000 UTCThis and Odds are my favorite fics by far. the final chapter for this year and it was amazing

2024-12-17 05:13:45 +0000 UTCAll hail the Warden! Btw, called it

2024-12-17 02:11:45 +0000 UTCDrat I was wrong, I was hoping for the tyrant to declare himself the king of Greece's. After all the Greece's where very famous pirates back in the day

2024-12-16 16:30:54 +0000 UTCHuh, some of those titles are not only ones I forgot she had but are going to piss off some olympians in new and original ways *cough queen of the hunt cough*. Zeus will soon be longing for the days when all he had to worry about was Percy.
Dr.Dragon
2024-12-16 15:27:55 +0000 UTCWell, Cat's back. And Zeus is fucked in a very unpleasant way.

2024-12-16 15:05:52 +0000 UTCI first want to say: I knew it. I knew you wouldn't have just 2 souls from APGtE. I am going to call it now. Alabaster is the human sorcerer working with the coalition. I so predict that grover will be tricked into thinking that pan has given him powers.

2024-12-16 14:35:11 +0000 UTCI thought piper was a child of Aphrodite, not venus?

2024-12-16 14:28:14 +0000 UTCGod Save the Black Queen! On a more serious note, I almost not sure if Catherine fulfilling the Prophecy and hitting sixteen first is actually better then Kairos or Triumphant. If anything I almost want to say Triumphant may actually be the best of the three for maintaining the closest to the current order. Also everyone is complaining about how crazy Kairos' plans are wait until the get a glorified Catherine plan. Catherine is the kind of person that goes into a duel to the death with the Forces of Good tm where is guaranteed to die and plans to die, getting brought back as an Undead piloting her corpse so they she can kill her enemy and black mail Angels to rez her for free! Side note... is Karios use of Rend and Wish just a part of the higher mysteries of the setting or does he still possess some connection to his Name and old world? Because if even smudges of some of the stuff that touched Catherine's soul came over she is pretty dangerous.
Jeremy
2024-12-16 12:58:45 +0000 UTCYeah I want to know that too
Navdeep Sugandhi
2024-12-16 12:43:16 +0000 UTCOh Catherine is here. All hail the black queen
Navdeep Sugandhi
2024-12-16 12:42:55 +0000 UTCNot spoiling…. But no relationship between Triumphant and everyone. She is long dead I believe though somewhat of a boogie man for nearly conquering the continent. Kairos and Catherine more complicated but in the end they ‘understand’ other and do work together when needed. Catherine even let him get his monologue before dying
Jeremy
2024-12-16 12:34:50 +0000 UTCTechnically they are enemies, but also Allies? There relationship is complicated because Kairos is evil in the vein of comics and Catherine is horribly pragmatic
Jeremy
2024-12-16 11:35:02 +0000 UTCI never tried reading practical guide to evil so I’m also curious between the relationship between all 3
TSfan13
2024-12-16 10:42:00 +0000 UTCSo is the reason that Hades very rarely ever stepped out an only in the time that Persephone was forced to leave the Underworld because as a Natural God of the Dead & Darkness his Passion while a lead component is suppressed somewhat or is it just that the Passion for him is Expressed in his Work an not his Lust/Love like his Siblings

2024-12-16 10:26:28 +0000 UTCI can't wait to see Dakota face when he gets to his new temple/home with his girlfriends an sees a certain Fury with her Sisters waiting for him. I can just See Meg looking at the girls and saying "I knew I chose right, you have Good Taste. Now understand I am the Head wife" Dakota once again Blames Jackson for his life. Considering what Dakota has shown at the Circus and at the games I can see Alecto being interested, while Tis would might just follow her sisters (also wonder as a son of Madness if he can understand her)
Rockinalice
2024-12-16 10:09:28 +0000 UTCI’ve not got that far in practical guide to evil. Barely started tbh, what’s relationship between Kairos and Catherine?
MacDoc-101
2024-12-16 10:08:14 +0000 UTCWhat a twist, I can only see Chaos from your chosen third soul from PGE. Also would love to see the explanation for all the titles for both all the mortals and gods in attendant.
mastergamer98007
2024-12-16 09:54:59 +0000 UTCYooooooooooooo, I’m screaming at the ending! Considering she lived a very long time after the end of the story is this old lady Cathrine or a version of her that died earlier?
