Happy Birthday, Baldur’s Gate 3! Never did I think you would impact my life as much as you did & I’ll be forever grateful for all of the love & soul put into this game. Vasa truly found a second family & this version of her story is one I’ll treasure always. ────── ✦ ────── #vasa | #bg3vp

BG3 VP Fantasy Week has begun over on the camera app! Day 1’s theme is Historical and I was inspired by Frederic William Burton‘s ‘The Meeting on the Turret Stairs’. ────── ✦ ────── #vasa | #galedekarios | #spellsmite | #bg3vp

Medieval setting like the painting The Meeting on the Turret Stairs. Gale quietly takes Vasa arm as he descends down the spiral stairs, both yearning to embrace the other.

You find a wagon parked in a pumpkin patch, thick with rolling fog on a chilly, autumn morning. 🍁🎃 Vasa & Gale seem to have stowed themselves away, looking for a private moment just for the two of them. (I’m sick of this summer heat.) ────── ✦ ────── #vasa | #galedekarios | #spellsmite | #bg3vp

Recently started playing FFXIV with my husband + friends. I’m having so much fun! As always, I’ve made Vasa as best I could. Still trying to figure out the GPose system but I’m told AFKing in Limsa is the true endgame, so here we go. ────── ✦ ────── #vasa | #vasaverse | #ffxiv | #gposers

Part 8 & last of my contributions to the Baldur’s Eyes VP zine (@bg3vpzine.bsky.social). It tells the story of the battle with Ansur going very wrong for Vasa, Gale, & their party. See alt text for more. ────── ✦ ────── #vasa | #galedekarios | #spellsmite | #bg3vp

Rising out of the warmth and safety of his arms, Vasa shifted to her feet. Her movements were rigid, but she regained her strength as she strode beyond the aura of Gale’s invulnerability spell. She had sworn never again, never would another control her yet this carcass of bones dared to do so. Her features hardened as she extended her gauntlet outward, casting precise but commanding words with each step to compel the great drake’s attention solely on her.

“You contend with me now.”

Part 7 of my contributions to the Baldur’s Eyes VP zine (@bg3vpzine.bsky.social). It tells the story of the battle with Ansur going very wrong for Vasa, Gale, & their party. See alt text for more. ────── ✦ ────── #vasa | #galedekarios | #spellsmite | #bg3vp

“Are you hurt? Do you remember what happened? What did Ansur do to you?” His fretting tugged at her soul. There was so much she wanted to say but didn’t know how. The dragon’s roar stole her attention as it resounded beyond the bulwark. Now was not the time. None of them were safe while danger circled from above. Later, she mused to herself. Later they could speak of it.

Returning her focus to him, she wrapped Gale’s hand in hers as a quiet plea crossed her lips. A warmth spread between them and the wizard watched in awe as divine magic enveloped and grew in their hands. “We will talk later, my stars,” she whispered, attempting to reassure him with a smile – a false one that masked her fear and buried any pain deep within her. Gale probably knew this. But he also could see that she was hanging on by a mere thread and refused to be one to snap it.

Vasa’s eyes snapped open and immediately her senses were overwhelmed by the reality around her. Someone held her close - strands of brown and gray hair filled her vision, lingering with the scent of old books and sea air. Gale.

She tilted her head ever so slightly only to be struck by the sight of lightning as it shrilled around her lover’s open palm. It dawned on her - it wasn’t chirping birds that called out to her, it was Gale. The sounds of his spell had reached her even in the deepest parts of her mind, pulling her back to the present. Her heart ached as she read the visible despair wrought across his face. Their predicament must be dire indeed for him to resort to such unbridled measures. She reached out with a caress, the cold, metallic touch of her gauntlet startling him. The crackling bolts evaporated instantly as his head jerked down, locking eyes with hers. “Vasa!” he cried, choking back a sob.

Part 5 of my contributions to the Baldur’s Eyes VP zine (@bg3vpzine.bsky.social). Vasa is trapped in her mind, Ansur’s possession invoking memories of her suffering when possessed by Cyric. While mid-panic, Gale’s magic reaches out to her. See alt text for more. ────── ✦ ────── #vasa | #bg3vp

“Do I hear…chirping?” The high trills beckoned to Vasa within the darker recesses of her mind. One would not call it wise for her to seek safety here. But how could the so-called ‘wise’ know this was the only refuge she had before, well, everything? Back when her body wasn’t her own and a manic voice rang constantly in her mind. The strange noises chimed again. “No, dearie, there are no sweet things here.” Startled, she turns around but finds nothing but the barren void stretching well beyond her sight. The chirping grew louder, almost deafening, as a crack of static charge threaded itself into view, reaching out as if a helping hand. “Gale?”

Part 3 of my contributions to the Baldur’s Eyes VP zine (@bg3vpzine.bsky.social). It tells the story Ansur’s battle going very wrong for Vasa & her party, as his possession of the paladin has unintended consequences. See alt text for more. ────── ✦ ────── #vasa | #galedekarios | #spellsmite | #bg3

It was at that moment something within Gale snapped. He held Vasa close to his chest. “You dare threaten her while I’m here?” he seethed through gritted teeth. With one hand he clutched Vasa even closer to him and with a wave of the other, commanding the Weave to harden into a shimmering bulwark around them. He watched as Ansur’s flittered movements forced Astarion’s ambushes to miss their mark and Wyll’s invocations were deflected with a mere flick of a bony tail. He knew his friends needed his aid but he wouldn’t leave his love so alone and vulnerable on the battlefield. Seeing no other alternative, Gale cried out with frustrated rage as he allowed the weave to swell through him. It forked into lightning sparks that pricked and danced around his body before coiling down into his open palm, ready to be unleashed.

Ansur was unwilling to see reason. The dragon relinquished his hold on the unconscious Vasa, dropping her body as the metallic clang of her armor reverberated against the wet stone. Decrepit bones swiftly took the initiative for battle. Astarion and Wyll scrambled to their feet, attempting to form some semblance of an offense.

With a gust of magic as quick as his namesake, Gale was at Vasa’s side. The wizard fell to one knee as he pulled her into his arms, fear etched across his face.

“My light, are you with me?”

The great wyrm’s spirit lashed out, sending a pulse through the party and overtaking the paladin while subduing the others. Ansur’s ire wrought itself through Vasa. Gale heaved and struggled against the suppression, his magic roaring in protest. “Not her!” he gasped as necrotic magic poured from the paladin’s eyes and mouth.

I’m so excited to share the first of my contributions to the Baldur’s Eyes zine (@bg3vpzine.bsky.social). The series shows how the Ansur battle goes very wrong for Vasa & her party. This is an extended version of the first shot. ────── ✦ ────── #vasa | #galedekarios | #spellsmite | #bg3vp

The series is based on the story “Swords Meet Sorcery” that I began to write some time ago. I plan to release more shots each day.

────── ✦ ──────

The evening hours passed and sleep eluded Gale as he found himself wide awake, nestled on the plush cushions scattered outside his tent. Even one of his beloved books had fallen from his lap – a failed attempt to quiet his mind. The tiny glimmers of a conjured drake fluttered back and forth around his hand, distracting his eye as his thoughts drifted to the Wyrmway earlier that day.
