MY NAKED PHOTOSHOOT | FAN FICTION CHAPTER 2 | Absolutely Blake - Duration: 9:07.
What's going on guys my name is absolutely Blake and welcome to my channel
First of all, you may have noticed that I did not post a video this Saturday again and guys, I'm sorry
I'm just way too busy while I'm traveling right now. So I do have sort of a little bit of bad news
I'm only gonna be posting on Thursdays for the month of September
That's only 4 weeks guys, and I'm gonna be back up the two videos a week when I moved back to Vancouver in October
So I hope you guys don't mind too much. It's just tough. I don't even have a tripod
I don't have lights. I have to use the sunlight from the window. It makes this weird glare down here. I look fucking weird
I just don't want to post shit quality content, even though even the stuff I post right now. Isn't that good? But
today's video is another
fanfiction a long long long time ago
I read a fan fiction video, which was quite vivid and very descriptive now. I read that one
Beforehand before filming the video and I went to do a look to see if there's any more and found out that there's actually four
Chapters to this book now you've already seen the first one
Here's a little clip from that Blake noticed blood on the bed in my ass. I told him not to worry
He just popped my cherry is all Wow, and if you haven't go watch it, it's linked in the description
So today I'm gonna read chapter 2 now
I haven't even read chapter 2 I've heard from some people at work who I told about chapter 2 and they said it kind of
Doesn't even relate to chapter 1 so I'm not quite sure if it's gonna connect if it's not gonna connect if this video gets more
than
2500 likes I'll do part 3 a lot quicker than it took me to do part 2 warning the following story contains mature content that
May not be appropriate for all audiences
Continue at your own risk, so only keep watching this video if you can handle explicit contents
Which is basically my whole channel disclaimer the following story contains youtuber named. Absolutely Blake this fucking guy
However, this story is a complete work of fiction
The author of the story is in no way linked in real life to the person in the story
No disrespect is intended for as this is simply
fanfiction notice just had taken I fucking love these I hope to see chapter 5 coming out pretty soon because I'm gonna catch up to
You real quick after reading some of the comments on the last one. I changed things up in this one
Hey fucking a here we go
I've had some hot assignments before but this one really took the cake when my editor told me I would be photographing
Absolutely Blake for an upcoming issue of Playgirl
Do you think I can make Playgirl guys?
I'd be pretty fucking stoked if they came at me and we're like, yo, we'd love to feature you
I swear
Mike was hard in a second
new this shoot was gonna remind me why I got into photography in the first place and now here I was
squatting with camera in hand and snapping pictures of Blake as he sat on the bench press
Whoa, it's a fucking Jim. Shoot snapping pictures of Lake as he sat on the bench
Press wearing only as Calvin's and that irresistible boyish smile. I need to grab a roll of film before we start the next stage
Why didn't you get out of your underwear and put on that robe while you wait?
I already see where this is going as I screw it away
I wiped away the sweat on my upper lip and wondered if this situation was way too much
I rubbed my heart through my pants as I dug out a new roll of film I could see how that could happen
The shoot so far had been strolling that I was worried. I'd shoot my load as soon as I saw him in the buff
I closed my eyes
Took a few breaths and let the tension leave my muscles by the time I headed back to the gym set
Mike was only semi-hard what happened fam, this state changed immediately upon catching sight of Blake again Oh
Guys my ego is already too big. He sat right where I left him, but this time the kelvins were gone
His was everything he'd boasted it to be honestly, I don't boast it that much
She's average six on a good day. If gravity's tugging pretty hard the thick piece of manly flesh
Hung between his muscular thighs without being diminished by them large hairless balls, hung loose beneath it
His pubic hair was short and I suspected that probably being done the last time he had shaved his body
I do keep it trimmed. You ready? I asked as I felt pre-cum leaked into my jockeys
Can you can you even feel pretty come I learned that you couldn't and that's how you could get a girl pregnant by accident
Cuz there's pre-cut. Yup. He answered as he lay back
I caught a good view of his puckered pink hole and imagined slamming Mike into that tight little love shoot
I'm forever calling a bum hole a love shoot. I figured it probably wouldn't be the first time he'd felt the man's cock there
I took a few more pictures of him draped across the black weight equipment his smooth
Sculpted body was a pleasure to capture on film. Thank you
I knew that I had plenty of photos this session that
Would make it into my private collection his spank bank, then we moved into the shower
Wooly fuck where I got some more of him under the house as he soaked up and will then let the water caress him
honestly
I
Would definitely do a shower shoot if there was bubbles that was covering stuff as I watched the clear droplets over his smooth flesh
I wish I could be them that takes something to wish that you were a fucking water droplet to be on someone's body now
It's on to the jacuzzi. I said I get to relax he asked smiling like any of this has being worked for you
I answered he
Chuckled he chuckled I chuckled aha. It sure likes you've been working hard. He pointed to my sweaty face
I just wiped it with my sleeve as he stepped into the jacuzzi now
What I want you to do is stand up real quick when I tell you he answered. What is it? Oh nothing
Okay
I just agreed right away when I say three stand up right away and throw your arms up to I want to see water
Sloshing everywhere. No, you want to see my fucking penis pulling out all those soap bubbles for sure
One two three, you follow directions to a tee, and I got my picture and also a good view of his engorge
I called it out. I knew exactly where this was going. Oh
It stood straight out as at about 6:00
Hmm that could be a problem
I said as I snapped another picture this yes looking down at the erection
I nodded most of the time boner pictures get a cut from the final layout
I couldn't help it the water felt so good and don't worry about it. I know what we can do Oh
What can we do the realization that?
Opportunities like this come around very rarely in one's life gave me the courage to say I'll just give you a blowjob
Are you serious man? That would be great
I was quite certain I would enjoy this more than him as I approached his well-formed body looking at his cute boyish face
I just wanted to bury my tongue in his mouth. But I knew that would be going too far for this
Boy wrapper. I'm a rapper. I read my hands are as smooth meaty chest and licked his third nipple Atlee. Whoa, what the fuck?
My third nipple, is that my fucking tip?
Anyways, I was gonna say at least somebody appreciates the size of my chest
I applied for Butler's in the buff which is wearing just an apron while you serve and they said my chest was too small
But anyways, my third nipple fuck the descriptions are great here. Then my hand slid down his stomach and hips
I knelt before this god of the gym and licked the slit. That's a that's a harsh word
Then I wrap my mouth around it and stroked his heart thighs as I in golf more of this
but grab the back of my head in his powerful hands and push my mouth to the base of his the head slipped into my
Throat, but in my lifetime I'd give him plenty of low jobs
So I handled it without choking from that point on Blake was in control
He held my head in his hands and thrust with his hips to sli's direction in and out of my mouth
I kept a tight seal on his and pressed my tongue apart against the underside of his deck like the fern and ulam where whatever
I slid a hand between his ash cheeks and fingered his wet hole after finding it easily slid my pinky inside
Just getting fucking hot in here from the increase in his thrusting. I assumed that he'd liked it
So I probed deeper my other hand slid between my thighs and started rubbing my swung through the fabric
After a few passes with my hand my body exploded in ecstasy. I've pumped thick loads have come into my jockeys
We've all been there I could feel that marky-mark was about ready
So I why didn't my name get changed to marky-mark I could feel that marky-mark was about ready
so I sped up my fucking of his ass my pinkie slid easily in and out of his hole as I buried it to the
Knuckle that's deep suddenly
He impaled me on his erection as he started panting from the orgasm which swept his body seemed important my throat once you relax this
Hold I pulled back and polished off his knob until it was all shiny. Then he sat back in the jacuzzi
He wore a cute boyish smile and his face is completely relaxed
I finished the shoot without a hitch a jockeys that I came in that day
Lay beside the pitches of Blake that never made it into Playgirl
What the fuck? He's got a shrine. I
Look at these often when masturbating and smell those shorts for some very intense orgasms
Chapter fucking - ladies and gentlemen. Oh
my
God, what a stories people told me it wasn't as good
I kind of fucking enjoyed reading that and I can't wait to see what chapters 3 & 4 are all about all these shit

What Will Technology Look Like In 100 Years? - Duration: 4:20.
Hey there!
Welcome to Life Noggin!
This video was made possible thank to WIX Code!
If you're looking to create a website, check out the link in the description.
Think back 100 years.
Electricity had pretty much just been invented.
Movies had no sound, and even carrier pigeons were even still being used!
Things have come a long way since then, which has us wondering, what will technology look
like in the next 100 years?
There are some pretty life-changing inventions predicted to come about in the next century.
Flying cars, once thought to be a thing of just science fiction, are actually progressing
at lightning speed.
A lot of the technology already exists and some expect that flying cars will be available
to the public in just ten to fifteen years!
Regulations are still in the works, but it sounds like you'll be whizzing around in
your flying car well before 2120.
Another future tech?
Brain-linked VR.
It doesn't exist yet but it's thought that this could run directly through your
brain, bypassing biological sensory systems, creating artificial experiences of touch,
smell, and maybe even taste.
It could construct an alternate reality so realistic that you might mix up what's real
and what's not.
The homes you live in will be pretty different too.
People are expecting that we'll be 3D printing incredible homes and even making them foldable
and transportable!
Imagine the places you'll go!
The hope is that 3D printing in general will allow us to print literally anything we need.
New hammer?
No problem!
Need a car part?
You got it!
New organ?
No, not that organ.
Yeah, That kinda organ!
Yeah, even that's being developed.
And improvements to health care don't stop with artificial body parts.
Some researchers are hoping that by 2120, we'll all have little nanobots circulating
through our body that constantly search for threats like illness and disease, and then
fix the problem from the inside out!
With tech of the future, you may be able to one day have an extra set of robot arms and
realize your dreams of becoming a human spider!
You've probably already heard of the powered exoskeletons being developed, but one of the
more promising advancements in the field is having a mechanical "third arm" to help
out with tasks.
Currently being developed for the military, this third arm is lightweight, doesn't need
batteries, and can even distribute the load of a heavy weapon.
A small pilot study in 2017 showed that it could reduce arm fatigue and muscle activation,
as well as improve marksmanship for some soldiers.
So it's already on its way to beating Triangle Bob in an arm wrestling match! and his arm
fell off.
That is unfortunate.
Of course in order to create these kinds of tech, scientists, researchers, and corporations
will need a lot of help from good ol' trusty computers.
Today's computers have become a lot more powerful over the last 50 years, but advancements
have started to slow down recently.
Moore's Law stated that the number of transistors per silicon computing chip would double every
two years, which it did… until recently.
Which sounds bad for speed and efficiency, but some experts aren't too worried.
Instead, they're taking other steps to work around this, like reassessing the outdated
structure of computers.
Many CPUs still have features that date back to the 1940s! and until just a few years ago,
tons of computers were still using code from the 1980s!
Despite the work that needs to be done, coding is still advancing and powering every aspect
of our digital world, including me!
It allows humans to give computers and programs step-by-step instructions to do all kinds
of things.
Like track Triangle Bob's step count!
Really?
5 steps?
What did you walk to fridge and collapse?
What tech would you wanna see in the next 100 years?
Any issue that you need solved?

Ultimate Binding Guide + GIVEAWAY! - Duration: 16:00.
- Summertime vlogging sucks!
Yeah, it's real hot.
It is real hot in my apartment.
I'm super sweaty.
Also I apologize.
I've got an AC unit like right behind the camera,
and I cannot turn it off because it is
94 degrees out.
Cool cool cool cool.
Cool cool cool cool cool cool.
(upbeat music)
Hello my name is Jackson Bird
and today we are talking about binding.
I get lots of questions all the time
about how to bind in different situations,
how to get binders, all that stuff
so I thought I would put it all into one video
and make sure that everyone is binding safely.
Also I just hit 40,000 subscribers.
Thank you all so much for that.
Welcome to everyone who is new here.
To celebrate, I thought I would do a binder giveaway.
Now I know not everyone who watches my videos
needs a binder, so when we get to 50,000
I'm gonna do a big giveaway of more general stuff
that I think everyone will be interested in,
which means you should help me get to 50,000.
Subscribe if you're not subscribed already
and tell all your friends.
I'd love to get to 50,000 by the end of the year,
or maybe like sooner.
I think we could do it sooner, maybe like by Halloween?
Let's try.
But for now, we are celebrating 40,000
and so I'm going to do a binder giveaway.
The details on how to enter for that are going to be
at the end of the video, 'cause I ain't no chump.
Also I know you could just like fast forward,
but especially if you want to enter the binder giveaway
and you need a binder,
this video is like especially for you.
So let's dive in.
First, what is binding?
Binding is anything that you do
to make your chest appear flatter,
usually with the intention to kind of be
more masculine looking if we want to put
gendered words onto bodies which I do, we do all the time
in the trans community, whatever.
It's not always for trans guys.
Nonbinary people, gender nonconforming people,
even just you know regular old cis people
might want to do it for some reason.
Well today I am mostly talking about people
somewhere on the transmasculine-ish spectrum
who want to bind for a flatter chest appearance.
There are lots of different ways that you can bind,
most of which not good for ya.
We're mostly going to be talking about the best way to bind
which is using a binder,
and a binder is a sort of compression vest
that once again flattens your chest
to give it a slightly more masculine appearance.
Now I don't actually have any binders to show you today
because I had top surgery 2 1/2 years ago
and I gave away all of my binders to people who needed them
because I am a saint.
But I'll put in some pictures here and there
as I show you the different types of binders there are,
but before we get into that let's talk
about the other types of binding that one might choose to do
and why you probably shouldn't.
So a lot of people hear about binding with an ACE bandage.
The media especially likes to romanticize the look of this.
Do not bind with an ACE bandage.
ACE bandages are meant to sort of like constrict
and keep you know an injury in place or whatever.
I don't really know what ACE bandages do exactly,
but I do know that they are not very breathable.
They constrict your body too much,
and they're not even that effective.
Before I started binding properly,
I did try using an ACE bandage a few times.
I know, I am not perfect.
None of us are.
And while there were a few moments of bliss
where I looked in the mirror
and saw my body how I thought it should look,
within the hour the ACE bandage
had just rolled down to my stomach.
Like I tried wearing it to class a few times
and I would just be sitting in class
with an ACE bandage rolling down
and things plopping out and it was not fun.
Don't recommend.
The risk of it is that you are bruising,
maybe even cracking your ribs.
You are super constricting your lungs
to the point that you could have
temporary or permanent damage on them.
There's some very serious implications
if you're not binding safely,
so I'm going to repeat this all the time in this video.
Make sure you're binding safely.
The other method of binding that some people do
that you should absolutely never do is with duct tape.
I mean, does that sound fun?
Like that does not sound or look like something
you would want on your body for hours at a time.
Now in the past couple of years an alternate to duct tape
did come into popularity.
It's called K-tape, short for kinesiology,
kinesthesiology?
It's that thing that all those kids
who played athletics in high school major in,
but K-tape, similar to an ACE bandage
you use it kind of on injuries and stuff in sports.
I don't sport, I don't know.
But you can use it to sort of put the tape
and flatten your chest like that.
Is it safe?
There seems to be a lot of debate around it.
I personally have a lot of friends who do use it,
and it seems to be all right for them.
You know you're not gonna have
the same risks of the lungs and stuff,
but you are probably going to be really damaging your skin.
Not as badly as with duct tape,
but maybe still pretty badly
and skin elasticity is a thing
that you really want to keep in mind
when you are binding,
because the less elastic that your skin is,
the worst results that you're gonna have for top surgery
and in fact it might make you ineligible for certain types
or all types of top surgery.
Now I did hear just this past weekend
when I was at the Philly Trans Wellness Conference
that there is a new company out there called TransTape
that's basically making K-tape that's wider, it's thicker.
K-tape right now is like this thin,
so sometimes you might have to use a couple of strips of it
so the TransTape is bigger.
Maybe they're also manufacturing it in a way
that's slightly better for the sensitive skin on your chest.
Honestly I'm still pretty skeptical
about the whole taping thing, and important note,
the taping thing only works if you have a smaller chest.
So those are all the methods
that I very strongly do not recommend you do.
Well maybe K-tape you consider,
but the others do not use duct tape,
do not use ACE bandages.
Also do not use multiple sports bras on top of each other.
That's gonna be like the same effect of the ACE bandage.
That is just way too much constricting on your body.
Really, the safest option because binding is you know,
at the end of the day it's not that safe or healthy for you,
but the safest option is going to be
an official binder from a legitimate company.
Now I say legitimate company
because there are some smaller companies out there
that are gonna sell really cheap binders
you can find on like eBay and Amazon.
I did try one once.
Again I am not perfect.
Early on in my transition I bought one of those,
and it just wasn't that effective.
Maybe if you have a very very tiny chest
it might do something.
And I've heard some rumors
that maybe they're not as safe as well,
so I would just stay away from those.
Really stick to the legitimate verified companies.
I'm talking Underworks, GC2B and FLAVNT.
Those are the big ones at least in the US.
And those companies all have a variety of different binders
that you can choose from.
In general there are longer and shorter binders.
So the shorter ones are gonna stop
right about at the end of your ribcage
and those are really good, especially in hotter seasons.
Maybe if you have a smaller chest,
and in general just for being a little bit
more breathable and flexible.
The longer ones are gonna go all the way down past your hips
and that can be good if you also
want to compress a bit of your hips or back fat,
but I found that to be very annoying
to have that much compressing material on me all the time.
Most binders are a pullover kind of thing,
but you will find some out there
that are more like a proper vest
where they Velcro or zip
or maybe have some type of clasps on them.
I never really like those 'cause the zipper or the Velcro
just got in the way.
I prefer the pullover kind, but your mileage may vary.
For a long time binders pretty much only came
in white and black, but now companies like GC2B and FLAVNT
are expanding to have a whole spectrum of skin tones
which is very cool, because there are
pros and cons to the different colors.
When I was starting to bind, a lot of people told me
that a white binder was better than a black binder
because it wouldn't show up as much
through light colored, thin T-shirts
but I found that you could still see the white binder
under light colored thin T-shirts
just as much as the black binders,
so I switched over to the black binder
because I'm goth.
The white binders get real gross real quick.
They do not stay white for long,
so that was a little gross to look at.
The black one was just as filthy,
but at least you couldn't see it.
FLAVNT Streetwear also offers those nude skin tone colors
in a swimsuit version, and the thinking there
is that people who are comfortable can just wear
the swim binder and their swim bottoms
and kind of feel like they're shirtless at the beach,
if that's a thing that they're into.
I probably wouldn't have ever been comfortable doing that,
but I have some friends who have done
and they totally rocked it.
And even if you are wearing like a tank top
or a swim shirt on top of that,
this is finally a binder that is actually safe to swim in
because you should not be swimming in your binders.
While I've been saying that official binders
are the safest way you can bind, there are still
a lot of caveats that come with that.
Two big ones are swimming and exercising.
Now I know those are times when you're like
most gonna want to be binding
'cause you might be wearing clingy, sweaty, wet material
or you're in these hyper gendered places
where you maybe really want to be read as male or whatever,
but because you're being active
or you are getting wet when you're swimming
it's actually the worst places to bind,
and I know I can't just tell you don't bind.
That would be the safest option,
and maybe if you have a smaller chest
you can get away with that with wearing a sports bra
that will flatten your chest enough,
but more than likely you're still gonna try to
find some way to bind,
so for swimming I definitely recommend if you can get one,
one of FLAVNT's swim binders.
I think some other companies
might have swim binders as well.
The reason you don't want to use a normal binder
for swimming is that when it gets wet and then dries
like salt water, chlorine,
that can all really break down the fibers.
It starts bringing down the elasticity
and sometimes that can make it tighter
and constrict in ways that then
is extra bad for your breathing.
It's just really bad for the binder,
and anything bad for the binder
ends up being bad for your health.
And also when it gets wet while you're swimming
it gets tighter then, so then it's sucking in
on your body even more
and then you're gonna have trouble breathing.
And the reason you don't want to wear a binder
when you're exercising, especially things
like high cardio things
or high interval intensity training stuff
is because you can't breathe as much.
It's compressing your lungs,
so ideally you should not be wearing a binder.
Some things that people do is wear older binders
that have stretched out a little bit.
I am telling you that, but I am not recommending it.
Again, safest thing is to find some non-binder alternative.
It's really hard to just tell someone don't bind,
so I'm just gonna leave that there.
But all right, so you're educated now
on the different types of binders.
You are ready to go find a binder.
You've picked out the company you want to buy it from,
but oh my gosh the sizing.
They're asking you for your measurements
and you don't really measure that part of your body
'cause maybe you've been dysphoric for a while
so you haven't really bought something
where you'd need to measure it.
Fortunately all of those companies
do have guides to tell you exactly how to measure
to find your size on their site.
If you don't have a tape measure at your house,
cool life hack is get something like a shoelace
or just a piece of string and wrap that around
wherever you're supposed to for the different measurements
and then kind of hold it,
and then lay that down against a ruler.
And if you don't have a ruler,
most smartphones have ruler apps.
I'm really trying to take out any excuse
that you could have here,
because I remember when I was at the depths of dysphoria
it was like I would find any excuse
not to move forward with things that were ultimately
gonna make me happier and healthier.
So no excuses here.
And when you have found your size,
do not buy a size smaller
because you think that'll bind even better.
The binders are doing enough on their own,
and if you get a size smaller,
you probably won't even be able to get it on your body
'cause next thing is when you get the binder,
the first couple of times you put it on,
especially that first time it is going to be
super super hard to actually get it on.
It'll stretch out as you go.
You know after maybe three to five times of wearing it,
it'll be a little bit better
but that first time, I mean you're just gonna,
like you'll get it stuck somewhere.
If you are out to anyone else
and can maybe have a buddy around just to either help you
or stand outside the door and be like you okay?
And it's gonna be just as hard to take off
the first couple of times.
A good tip is to maybe step into it,
roll it all the way up your body
instead of trying to put it over,
and then once it's stretched out a bit
then you can just start putting it on normally.
Also it is very important that
for the first several days you're wearing it,
especially if it's your first binder ever,
only wear it for like an hour or two each day.
You really need to ease into it.
Your body is not used to binding if it's your first time,
but also the binder is brand new
and it needs to stretch out a little bit.
And once you have stretched it out,
never wear it for more than eight hours in a day.
That should be enough to get you through school or work.
If you have a longer day, I would recommend
maybe at some point try to go into a bathroom
and take it off for a little bit just to breathe,
but eight hours is really the maximum
that you want to be wearing it.
When you wear your binder too much,
you are risking some of those same things
that you're risking when you bind incorrectly.
So that is things like damaging your ribs,
damaging your lungs, decreasing that skin elasticity.
It's tough, I know.
Everything about being trans is just like balancing things,
but moving on.
So you have a new binder.
You've been wearing it for a couple of days.
All is going well, but you kind of noticed
you're starting to stink.
It's time to wash your binder.
You don't really want to use a washer and dryer.
The machine washing will start to sort of
break down again the elasticity
and just structure of the binder.
A dryer might shrink it, which is really bad.
You don't want that to happen.
So the best thing that you can do
is just put a little bit of detergent into your sink,
fill up your sink, and let the binder sit in there
for I don't know, half hour, hour,
and then air dry it.
I know if you have roommates or maybe you live
with your family and they don't know that you're binding,
that might be hard to just leave a binder
in the middle of the bathroom all day.
So something that you can do is actually
just wash it in the shower with you.
Not like while you're wearing it,
just as you're showering bring in your binder.
Do a little bit of laundry while you shower.
Where you might hang it up to dry
inconspicuously I'm not really sure.
You'll have to figure that one out on your own.
Closet?
I don't know.
In an ideal world you'd probably be washing it every day,
every other day, but at least do like once a week.
You know, it's right on your chest and your back
and you're super sweaty
and it's one of the grossest
articles of clothing you're gonna be wearing
and you're gonna probably wear it every day.
Oh and on that note about it being sweaty,
it is so hard to get off when you are sweaty
or if you've been swimming with a proper swim binder
and it's wet, it's like oh my gosh it is so hard to get off
so just know that,
and some of the things that you can maybe do
is put some baby powder on.
Just to prevent a little bit of the sweating.
Now another thing I get asked about
with binders is how do you explain
that you're wearing a binder, that your chest is flatter,
or how do you hide it?
So if you are not out as trans or nonbinary
or what have you yet, and people notice
your chest is flatter, what do you do then?
It depends on what your chest might have looked like
before I guess, and what your relationship
with these people is.
I pretty much just said I lost some weight just there,
and I prefer sports bras now.
I don't think too many people bought that completely.
That was the best I had.
Maybe it's gonna be a good opportunity
to be open with some people about the fact
that you're kind of playing
and exploring with your gender expression.
Now if you are stealth and don't want people
to see your binder because you just want them
to think that you have a naturally flat chest,
the biggest things that you can do are layer clothing.
Button ups are really good whether it's as layered
over a T-shirt or something or just by themself.
Anything that's a little bit looser like that
is gonna hide some of the binder seams
and just overall make you look flatter.
Now the last thing that people always wonder
is how can I get a binder if my family
doesn't approve of me having a binder
or if I can't afford it?
So if your family doesn't approve
and you need to get a binder on the sly,
and let's say that you don't have your own
debit or credit card or maybe your parents
have access to your bank statements
so they could see what you're buying,
go to a grocery store or something like that
and get one of those Visa gift cards.
So you can pay cash for that Visa gift card,
and it comes with a number on it
so you can use it for online purchases
just like a credit card.
So get you one of those,
and then use that to order your binder.
Most of these companies do deliver in discreet packaging,
but if you're still you know thinking
that your parents might open it or something,
ask a friend or any trusted individual
if you can have the binder delivered to them instead.
Now if you simply can't afford it,
there are a lot of binder scholarship programs
and binder giveaway programs like this one!
I am giving away one free binder to someone in need,
so please only apply to this giveaway
if you really need a binder.
If you can pay for a binder yourself,
or if you are not someone who needs a binder,
please share this giveaway
with anyone that you think might need one.
Share it on your social media.
I want to make sure that someone who really needs it
has a chance at getting this binder.
I'm going to randomly select one person who applies.
The only requirement is that
you're subscribed to this YouTube channel.
So all you gotta do is fill out the Google form
that I'm putting in the description box.
You're gonna have two weeks from the day
that this video goes up to enter the giveaway.
One entry per person, can only be one winner,
must be subscribed to this channel.
International I think is fine,
and if you end up not winning this giveaway
I'm gonna put some links to some other people
who run regular binder giveaways
and binder scholarship programs
and stuff like that in the description box.
In the comments today I want to hear
any of your binder tips and tricks that you have,
because I probably left some things out.
I probably misspoke like I am really hot right now.
I don't think I even remember anything I said in this video.
I feel like I blacked out for part of it from the heat.
I'm just gonna end this now,
go drink some water and stay hydrated.
Oh that's another good binder tip.
Always stay hydrated, and be breathing.
Take some big breaths.
(breathes deeply)
And I hope this video helped.

Keys To A Successful Marriage | The Truths Of Scripture Is The Key To A Successful Marriage - Duration: 6:06.
- Instead of living your life out of fear
of what you've seen go wrong,
live your life in faith focusing
on what the bible puts before us as the model.
(upbeat music)
- Welcome back to the StraightTruth podcast.
I'm your host, Josh Philpot
and we're glad you've joined us today.
As always, I'm joined by Richard Caldwell,
the pastor of Founders Baptist Church
and our special guest today
is Doctor Nicholas Ellen,
a senior professor at the College of Biblical Studies
and also pastor at Community of Faith Bible Church.
As always, please leave comment for us
in the comments section and do us a favor
and please go to the iTunes podcast section
and leave us a review.
Well today we have a question about marriage.
We have a question from a young man
who says that he wants to have a strong marriage
and a strong family life for the rest of his days.
So I'm wondering from you guys,
what would you say are the keys
to having a strong and last marriage and home?
- Before I give my answer, let me address
why I think sometimes people ask that question,
because, I mean, the answer's obvious
as we'll talk about it.
It's building your life on the truths of scripture,
building your life on Christ,
your marriage on Christ and on the truths
revealed in scripted for marriage.
But I think the reason why people
ask that question sometimes, is maybe
they come from a background,
grew up in a home, where it wasn't solid.
Yeah, broken home.
Lot of pain, lot of heartache.
And they're worried, perhaps, about repeating that.
You know, I don't have a good model that I grew up in.
I'm about to get married.
I'm afraid that we may one day head down the same road.
And I would just encourage young couples...
We tend to be conformed to our focus.
Sometimes, for example, someone has,
let's say, an angry father and they say to themselves,
I'll never be like him, right.
So bitterness builds, and I'll never be like that.
And then amazingly, they turn out
to be just like their father,
because they lived their entire life
sort of focused on their father,
what they don't want to be.
In the same sort of way we can do that with marriage.
You know, I saw my parent's marriage struggle
so I want to make sure I don't do this and I don't do that.
And I want to encourage people to think differently.
Instead of focusing on what you're not going to be,
focus on what you're going to be.
Set your focus on what scripture teaches.
Live your lives...
A good marriage begins with selection, right?
So who am I gonna marry?
Marry someone who loves the Lord.
Marry someone who genuinely, unmistakably, is born again.
Make sure that you're born again
and then marry someone who loves the Lord Jesus Christ.
So then build your lives out of reverence
for the Lord in every aspect.
Pay attention to what he says about the fact
that marriage is a life-long union,
with one man, one woman, for life.
So you're not even gonna consider divorce.
You're not gonna let your mind go in those areas.
You're gonna pursue sexual purity.
You're gonna believe the bible
and obey the scriptures when it speaks to those issues.
Husbands are gonna strive to love their wives
as Christ loved the church.
Wives are gonna see that they respect their husbands
and live out what the bible teaches
about being a wife.
So, it's building your life on Christ and the scriptures.
But first I just wanna say, let that be your focus.
Instead of living your life out of fear
of what you've seen go wrong,
live your life in faith, focusing on what the bible
puts before us as the model.
- Mmh, I'd love to take what Richard said
and put the application of it together,
because he hit it dead on the head
and I would say to a person:
number one, live by the covenant and not by your mood.
- Amen.
- Part of the challenge is that people tend
to be consumed with how they feel in the moment,
versus their covenant conviction of the moment.
And if you can learn second Corinthians 5,
which says "Christ died that those who live
"might no longer live for themselves".
The key to a marriage is that the marriage
is not about you, it's about God's glory--
- Amen.
- and how do I die to self so that I can be the tool
that God uses to invest into my spouse
that they could be all of what God intended
for his glory and hence the good
of the culture, good of the marriage.
But the key is, God is into the transformation business.
We have been called from sin to know him,
to become like him, to be useful to him.
You are to come alongside your spouse
and help lead in that process.
So I want to encourage people that,
because what I see too often in marriage counseling,
people say, well we have marital problems,
and I say, you don't have marital problems,
you have character deficiencies that showed up
in the marriage. - [Richard] That's good.
- And part of that is lack of understanding
your role, lack of commitment to your role,
consumed with your mood and not the covenant.
So those would be, for me, crucial foundational
things to living and God honoring marriage.
- That's excellent Nick.
You know, it reminds me of something...
I'm not gonna get this exactly right,
but I'm gonna be in the ballpark,
John Piper wrote a little book on marriage.
And in that book, he said "It's marriage
"that sustains love, not love that sustains marriage."
In other words, he was saying, our view of marriage
fuels our ongoing love for each other.
So out of the conviction of the covenant we love each other.
It's good.

Dragon Age: Origins - Episode 2 (TV Series) - Duration: 41:02.
(RECAP) The Chantry teaches us that it is the
hubris of men which brought the
Darkspawn into our world.
(RECAP) The Grey Wardens came. Men and women from every
race, the Grey Wardens sacrificed
everything to stem the tide of Darkness.
(RECAP) We are few now, and our warnings have
been ignored for too long.
(RECAP)Howe, you remember my daughter.
(RECAP) Do you really think the war will be over quickly?
Word from the south
is that the battles have gone well,
there's no evidence that this is a true
Blight, just a large raid.
(RECAP) Those are Howe's
men! Why would they attack us?
He's betrayed father he attacks while our
troops are gone!
(RECAP) Bryce!
Wondering when you would get here
I won't survive.
I will take the Teyrna and
your daughter to Ostagar
to tell Fergus and the King what
happened, then your daughter joins the
Grey Wardens.
I'll kill every bastard
that comes through that door to buy them
time, but I won't abandon you.
I won't let you sacrifice yourself!
We must go, now!
Goodbye darling
DUNCAN: We will be traveling
south through the Hinterlands to the
ruin of Ostagar, on the edges of the
Korcari Wilds.
The Tevinter Imperium built
Ostagar long ago, to prevent the Wilders
from invading the northern lowlands. It's
fitting we make our stand here, even if
we face a different foe within that forest.
The Kings forces have clashed with the
Darkspawn several times, but here is
where the bulk of the horde will show
itself. There are only a few Grey Wardens
within Ferelden at the moment, but all of
us are here. This blight must be stopped,
here and now. If it spreads to the north,
Ferelden will fall.
KING CAILAN: Ho, there! Duncan!
DUNCAN: King Cailan!? I didn't expect a-
CAILAN: A royal welcome?
I was beginning to worry you'd
miss all the fun.
DUNCAN: Not if I could help it, Your Majesty.
CAILAN: Then I'll have the mighty Duncan at my
side in battle after all. Glorious!
The other wardens told me you'd found a
promising recruit, I take it this is she?
DUNCAN: Allow me to introduce you, Your Majesty.
CAILAN: No need, Duncan. You are Bryce's youngest,
are you not? I don't think we've ever
actually met.
ELISSA: Yes, I am. And I bring
important news
CAILAN: Is it about your father?
Your brother has been concerned about him.
ELISSA: He's not coming...
He died when our castle was taken.
CAILAN: Dead?!
What do you mean? Duncan! Do you know
anything about this?
DUNCAN: Teyrn Cousland and his wife are dead,
Your majesty. Arl Howe have has shown
himself a traitor, and overtaken Highever Castle.
Had we not escaped, he would
have killed us, and told you any story he wished.
CAILAN: I...can scarcely believe it!
Well, how could he think you could get away with
such treachery? As soon as we are done here,
I will turn my army north and bring Howe
to justice, you have my word.
ELISSA: Thank you, Your Majesty.
CAILAN: No doubt you wish
to see your brother, unfortunately he and
his men are scouting in the Wilds
ELISSA: when will he return?
CAILAN: Not until the battle is
over, I fear. Until then we cannot even
send word. I apologize but there's
nothing more I can do. All I can suggest
is that you vent your grief against the Darkspawn for the time being.
ELISSA: So long as Arl Howe pays, I'm happy.
CAILAN: I'm sorry to cut
this short, but I should return to my
tent. Loghain waits eagerly to bore me
with his strategies.
DUNCAN: Your uncle sends his
greetings and reminds you that RedCliffe
forces could be here in less than a week.
CAILAN: Huh! Eamon just wants in on the glory!
We've won three battles against these monsters
and tomorrow should be no different.
ELISSA: I didn't realize things were going so well.
CAILIN: I'm not even sure this is a true Blight.
There are plenty of Darkspawn on the
field, but alas, we've seen no sign of an
Archdemon.
DUNCAN: Disappointed, Your Majesty?
CAILAN: I'd hoped for a war like in the tales.
A king riding with the fabled Grey Wardens
against a tainted God, but I
suppose this will have to do.
I must go before Loghain sends out a search party.
Farewell, Grey Wardens.
DUNCAN: What the King said is true,
they've won several battles against the
Darkspawn here.
ELISSA: He didn't seem to take the Darkspawn very seriously.
DUNCAN:True...
Despite the victory so far, the Darkspawn
Horde grows larger with each passing day.
By now they look to outnumber us.
I know there is an Archdemon behind this, but I
cannot ask the King to act solely on my feeling.
ELISSA: Why not? He seems to regard the
Grey Wardens highly.
DUNCAN: Yet, not enough to
wait for reinforcements from the Grey Warden of Orlais.
He believes our
legend alone makes him invulnerable.
Our numbers in Ferelden are too few, we must
do what we can, and look to Teyrn Loghain
to make up the difference. To that end we
should proceed with The Joining Ritual
without delay.
ELISSA: What do you mean? What ritual?
DUNCAN: Every recruit must go through a
secret ritual we call The Joining, in
order to become a Grey Warden. The ritual
is brief, but some preparation is
required. We must begin soon.
ELISSA: I need to find Fergus.
DUNCAN: You heard what the King said,
he is scouting in the Wilds and beyond
contact. Be patient, he will return.
ELISSA: Why is this ritual so secret?
DUNCAN: The joining is
dangerous. I cannot speak more of it
except to say that you will learn all in
good time. Until then, you must trust that
what is done, is necessary.
ELISSA: Am I the only recruit you have?
DUNCAN: No. There are two other
recruits here already. They have been
waiting for us to arrive.
ELISSA: What do you need me to do?
DUNCAN: Feel free to explore the
camp here as you wish, all I ask is that
you do not leave it for the time being.
There is another Grey Warden in the camp
by the name of Alistair. When you're ready,
seek him out and tell him it's time to
summon the other recruits. Your hound can
stay with me while I attend to some business.
The Grey Warden tent is on the
other side of this bridge, you will find
us there should you need to.
[THEME SONG]
GUARD: Hail! You must be the Grey Warden recruit
that Duncan brought.
SOLDIER: Greetings! King Cailain is
not in his tent right now.
ELISSA: Tell me about the King, you must see him a lot.
SOLDIER: I suppose I do... Though he's spending most of
his time with the Grey Wardens. He rides
with them wherever they go, in fact. Teyrn Loghain
sees the king whenever he can
and argues with him over coming battles,
but the King just waves him off. The king
wants to end the Blight with a single
huge battle the bards will sing off for
centuries. Do you think that's possible?
ELISSA: We'll see in the coming battle.
SOLDIER: That's how the Teyrn feels. He'll do what the
King wants in the end, though. The King
thought it was funny the Teyrn called
him reckless, and they fought about the Queen.
ELISSA: Do they fight often?
SOLDIER: More than usual lately, good thing that Teyrn's the
only one who can speak to the King like that.
ELISSA: I should go.
SOLIDER: As you wish.
GUARD: You approach the tent of Teyrn Loghain,
state your business.
ELISSA: Is the Teyrn inside? What's he doing?
GUARD: He's inside, but I don't
think it's my place to discuss his activities.
ELISSA:I would like an audience with the Teyrn, please.
GUARD: mm-hmm, I suppose you
have a message for him? Hold on then.
TEYRN LOGHAIN: Yes, what is it? Oh... your Duncan's new Grey Warden, I assume.
ELISSA: I'm not a Grey Warden yet.
LOGHAIN: You impressed His Majesty
nonetheless, he could not contain his
excitement over your meeting. Cailan's
fascination with the Wardens goes beyond
the ordinary.
Are you aware his father brought your
order back to Ferelden?
ELISSA: A fascination you don't share?
LOGHAIN: The Wardens are impressive,
but not as relevant as Cailin thinks.
You look familiar,
Have I seen you at the Landsmeet?
ELISSA: My father was the Teyrn of Highever.
LOGHAIN: The King told me of his promise, I'm certain he
has every intention of following it
through. I don't suppose you'll be riding
into the thick of battle with the rest
of your fellows, will you?
ELISSA: I don't know.
LOGHAIN: If Cailan has his way you will.
Now I must return to my task.
Pray that our king
proves amenable to wisdom, if you're the
praying sort.
ELISSA: You don't seem very fond of him.
LOGHAIN: He is Maric's son and the leader of
my beloved Ferelden, and a very young man.
I try to keep that in mind, as should you.
SERGEANT: Look carefully, men. This wretched
thing is a Darkspawn. They're strong and
cunning and smart. Don't listen to those
old wives' tales. They can be killed.
Stick them with you sword enough, and they
go down. Their blood is black as sin and
poisonous. Don't even touch it.
You get tainted with that blood, and you
may as well slit your throat. We've lost
many dogs already. Had to muzzle them to
keep them from biting. It's a long and
painful way to die.
PRIEST: Should it find you
you will not have failed your King, you
will have served your Maker. Go not into
death gladly, but with the knowledge that
evil has been held at bay by your
spilled blood. And if you go to stand
beside the Maker, go with our blessing. For
you shall not be forgotten. My friends,
let us bow our heads and remember those
who have fallen, and those who have yet to fall.
ASH WARRIOR: You there. Elf. What's your name?
PIK: ehh... I-I-It's Pik, sir.
ASH WARRIOR: Go tell Teyrn Loghain that the
war party's ready to begin scouting.
We'll send word if we find anything.
PIK: Yes sir, r-right away sir.
ASH WARRIOR: What do you need?
You haven't brought more instructions from their Teyrn, I hope.
ELISSA: More instructions?
ASH WARRIOR: Teyrn Loghain has
changed our scouting routes a dozen
times. If you're not from the Teyrn, what do you want?
We're busy.
ELISSA: You don't look like the other soldiers in the army.
ASH WARRIOR: We aren't.
We're Ash Warriors.
ELISSA: What is an ash warrior?
ASH WARRIOR: Our training has been passed down since
Luthias the Dwarfson first harnessed
the battle rage of the dwarves. It is an old tale.
ELISSA: So what does an ash warrior do?
ASH WARRIOR: We harness the rage inside us, nurture it,
and draw it out so we cannot fall in
battle until our last foe is slain.
It is a Dwarven discipline, but we've
adapted it to let us fight alongside our
hounds. That is our way.
I trust my hound with my life, as he
trust me with his.
ELISSA: I have a Mabari Hound of my own.
ASH WARRIOR: Then you are most fortunate.
A trained Mabari hound is as dangerous as
any sword. We do not speak of a... city pet
or... or those things that sit in an old
woman's lap.
ELISSA: What are you preparing for?
ASH WARRIOR: To scout the Wilds, and watch the
progression of the Darkspawn horde.
With luck, we'll find and slaughter many
stragglers. The hunt will be good if my
hound survives the blood of its prey. If
he dies, I shall mourn tonight.
ELISSA: Survives the blood? What do you mean?
ASH WARRIOR: Darkspawn blood is poisonous,
but not always fatal.
Those who survive grow immune
to its effects. The Wardens say the
tainted blood drives even the survivors
mad eventually. But not today, today we
hunt and we kill.
ELISSA: I should be going.
ASH WARRIOR: My thanks, there is hunting to be done,
and I'll not be kept from it.
WYNNE: Greetings young lady, you're Duncan's newest recruit, are you not?
He's not a man easily impressed.
You should be proud. Allow me to
introduce myself. I am Wynne, one of the
mages summoned by the King.
ELISSA: I am Elissa.
WYNNE: Well met! And good luck to you on the
battlefield. To us all, in fact.
ELISSA: Will you be fighting beside the King?
WYNNE: Not precisely. The Grey Wardens will be on
the front lines, not the mages. Still, we
have our parts to play. To defeat the
Darkspawn we have to work together. It's
not an idea everyone seems able to grasp.
ELISSA: Do you know much about Darkspawn?
WYNNE: Some... do you?
Do you know about the connection
between them and the Fade, for example?
ELISSA: I know the Fade is where you go when you dream.
WYNNE: Any time your spirit leaves your
earthly body, whether it's to dream or to
die, it passes into the realm we call the
Fade. It's home to many spirits some
benevolent, others far less so.
At the heart of the
Fade, lies the Black City.
ELISSA: I've heard that, didn't something bad happen there?
WYNNE: Some say the Black City was once the seat of
the Maker, but when the mages from the
Tevinter Imperium found a way into the
city, it was tainted with their sin. That
taint transformed those men, turning them
into twisted reflections of their own
hearts. And the Maker cast them back to
the earth, where they became the first
Darkspawn. At least that's what the Chant
of Light says.
ELISSA: And is that true?
WYNNE: It may be allegory, meant to teach us that our own
evil causes human suffering. Or it may be
true. It is as good an explanation as any
for now.
ELISSA: At least it's something to ponder.
WYNNE: Yes, occasionally it's wise to
contemplate one's actions, but I'm
certain Duncan has more for you to do
than talk to me.
TEMPLAR: The mages must not be interrupted, their
spirits are in the Fade.
ELISSA: I apologize, I'll go elsewhere.
TRANQUIL: Welcome, young woman.
ELISSA: Who are you?
TRANQUIL: I am one of the tranquil, my friend.
I am of the Circle of Magi, but
instead of casting spells and reading
tomes, I spent my time
enchanting. It is a time-consuming
process, but invaluable. Enchantment
provides the Circle its wealth. Certainly
we would not get by on charity.
ELISSA: You speak very strangely. Why is that?
TRANQUIL: Allow me to put it this way:
Do you know why those
with magical talent are feared?
ELISSA: Well, the Chantry claims magic is sinful.
TRANQUIL: Not sinful in and of itself, they claim
it leads to sin. And there is a basis for
that argument. Those with magical talent
attract demons and spirits. We can be
possessed easily, and thus become horrors
known as Abominations. Even those with
minor talents attract hungry spirits.
Anyone with the power may learn Blood Magic
from these demons, hence we are
considered dangerous. This is our curse.
Thus, I was made tranquil. Stripped of
emotions and talent. I am no longer dangerous.
ELISSA: It sounds like a horrid practice.
TRANQUIL: It might seem such, to you but I
feel no horror. I am content to serve in my role.
ELISSA: How is someone made tranquil?
TRANQUIL: Our forehead is branded with magic, which
stills our talent and mind. The process
is irreversible as far as I am aware.
ELISSA: I... I feel badly for you.
TRANQUIL: You do?
I feel nothing. As the name suggests, my
existence is quite peaceful. I am alive,
productive, and no danger to anyone.
Surely that is not a terrible thing.
Perhaps we may speak of something else,
do you need assistance?
ELISSA: I should go.
TRANQUIL: Goodbye.
DAVETH: So... Any last wishes I can help
fulfill before you head into battle?
life is fleeting, you know? That pretty face
could be decorating some Darkspawn spear
this time tomorrow.
DAVETH: Well... You're not what
I thought you'd be.
ELISSA: What's that supposed to mean?
DAVETH: Oh, me and Ser Knight we're just betting
on what the third recruit would be. Not a
woman! Yet, here you are. The name's Daveth.
It's about bloody time you came along I
I was beginning to think they'd cooked this
ritual up just for our benefit.
ELISSA: What do you know about this ritual?
DAVETH: I happened to be sneaking around camp last night, see,
and I heard a couple of Grey Wardens
talking. So, I listened in for a bit.
I'm thinking they plan to send us into the Wilds.
ELISSA: The Wilds?
DAVETH: We're right on the
northern edge of the Korcari Wilds here,
miles and miles of savage country.
My home village isn't far, and I grew up on
tales about the Wilds. Even been in there
a few times, huh, scary place.
ELISSA: Why would they send us into the forest?
DAVETH: Sounds like some kind of test.
Maybe we'll hunt us a souvenir or two.
It's all too secretive for me, makes my
nose twitch. I guess we'll have to wait
and see. Huh, like we have a choice.
ELISSA: They're forcing you to be here?
DAVETH: I've got nowhere else to go after what Duncan
saved me from.
Anyway, I expect it's time
to get back to Duncan. That's where I'll
be if you need me for anything.
PRIEST: In the name of Andraste, I bless you
today. May you find favor in the Maker's
eyes. So let it be.
SER JORY: Greetings.
You must be the third recruit we've heard about.
ELISSA: Yes, I am Elissa.
JORY: Ser Jory is my name.
I hail from RedCliffe where I
served as Knight under the command of Arl Eamon.
I was not aware they permitted
women to join the Grey Wardens,
none of those I've seen thus far have been.
ELISSA: I am a warrior just as you are.
JORY: You obviously impressed Duncan and that's
enough for me.
I hope we're both lucky enough to
eventually join the Wardens. Is it not
thrilling to be given that chance?
ELISSA: Aren't you nervous about fighting Darkspawn?
JORY: I'd be lying if I said I wasn't. As a boy my
mother told us Darkspawn hunted down all
children who misbehaved. It is a foolish
superstition, I know, but I still shiver
when I think of fighting them. Tell me,
has anyone told you what this Joining Ritual entails?
ELISSA: It's all a big secret, apparently.
JORY: I never heard of such a
ritual. I had no idea there were more
tests after getting recruited. I suppose
since you're finally here, I'd best get
back to Duncan. I shall see you there.
MAGE: What is it now? Haven't Grey Wardens
asked more than enough of the Circle?
WARDEN ALISTAIR: I... simply came to deliver a message from
the Revered Mother, sir mage. She desires
your presence.
MAGE: What her reverence desires
is of no concern to me.
I am busy helping the Grey Wardens by,
the King's orders, I might add.
ALISTAIR: Should I have asked her to write a note?
MAGE: Tell her I will not be harassed in this manner.
ALISTAIR: Yes, I was harassing you by delivering a message.
MAGE: Your glibness does you no credit.
ALISTAIR: Here I thought we were getting along so
well, I was even going to name one of my
children after you. The grumpy one.
MAGE: Enough. I will speak to the woman if I must. Get out of my way, fool.
ALISTAIR: You know... one good
thing about the Blight is how it brings people together.
ELISSA: Sorry?... What?
ALISTAIR: Oh, nothing.
just trying to find a bright side to all this.
Wait... We haven't met, have we? I don't
suppose you happen to be another mage?
ELISSA: We haven't met. You must be Alistair.
ALISTAIR: And that makes you
Duncan's new recruit, I suppose. Glad to
meet you. As the junior member of the
Order, I'll be accompanying you when you
prepare for the Joining.
ELISSA: Pleased to meet you, my name is Elissa.
ALISTIAR: Right! That was the name.
You know, it just occurred to me
that there have never been many women in
the Grey Wardens.
I wonder why that is.
ELISSA: You want more women in the Wardens, do you?
ALISTAIR: Would that be so terrible?
Not that I'm some drooling lecher or anything.
Please stop looking at me like that.
So, I'm curious. Have you ever
actually encountered Darkspawn before?
ELISSA: No, I haven't.
ALISTAIR: When I fought my first one, I
wasn't prepared for how monstrous it was.
I can't say I'm looking forward to
encountering another. Anyhow, whenever
you're ready let's get back to Duncan. I
imagine he's eager to get things started.
ELISSA: That argument I saw, what was it about?
ALISTAIR: With the mage? The Circle is here at the
King's request, and the Chantry doesn't
like that one bit. They just love letting
mages know how unwelcome they are.
Which puts me in a bit of an awkward
position, I was once a Templar.
ELISSA: You were a mage hunter?
ALISTAIR: Not that that's all Templars
do, but yes. The Chantry raised me until
Duncan recruited me six months ago.
I'm sure the revered mother meant it as
an insult, sending me as her messenger,
and the mage picked right up on that.
I never would have agreed to deliver it
but Duncan says were all to cooperate
and get along. Apparently they didn't get
the same speech.
ELISSA: What about the other recruits?
ALISTAIR: Daveth and Ser Jory are here in
the camp, have you met them?
ELISSA: Yes, both of them.
ALISTAIR: That makes things easy then, they'll
both be back with Duncan by now.
ELISSA: I... look forward to traveling with you.
ALISTIAR: You do? huh...
If you have any questions let me know,
otherwise lead on.
DUNCAN: You found Alistair, did you?
Good. I'll assume you're ready to
begin preparations. Assuming, of course
that you're quite finished
riling up mages, Alistair?
ALISTAIR: What can I say?
The Revered Mother ambushed me, the way
she wields guilt they said stick her in the army.
DUNCAN: She forced you to sass the
mage, did she? We cannot afford to
antagonize anyone, Alistair. We don't need
to give anyone more ammunition against us.
ALISTAIR: You're right, Duncan. I... apologize.
DUNCAN: Now then, since you're all here we can begin.
You four will be heading into the Korcari Wilds to perform two tasks.
The first is to obtain three vials of Darkspawn blood,
one for each recruit.
ELISSA: What do we need Darkspawn blood for?
DUNCAN: For the Joining itself. I'll explain more once you've returned.
ELISSA: And what's the second task?
DUNCAN: There was once a Grey Warden archive in the
Wilds. Abandoned long ago and we could no
longer afford to maintain such remote
outposts. It has recently come to our
attention that some scrolls have been
left behind, magically sealed to protect
them. Alistair, I want you to retrieve
these Scrolls if you can.
ELISSA: What kind of Scrolls are these?
DUNCAN: Old treaties, if you're curious. Promises of
support made to the Grey Wardens long
ago. They were once considered only
formalities. With so many having
forgotten their commitments to us, I
suspect it may be a good idea to have
something to remind them with.
ELISSA: And what if they're no longer there?
DUNCAN: It's possible the scrolls may have been destroyed or
even stolen, though the seals magic
should have protected them. Only a Grey
Warden can break such a seal.
ALISTAIR: I don't understand, why leave such things in a
ruin if they're so valuable?
DUNCAN: it was assumed that we would someday return.
A great many things were assumed that have
not held true.
ELISSA: How will we find his archive?
DUNCAN: It will be an overgrown ruin by
now, but the sealed chest should remain
intact. Alistair will guide you to the
area you need to search.
ELISSA: Is this part of our Joining too?
DUNCAN: No. But the effort must be
made, I have every confidence you are up
to the task.
ELISSA: Find the archive and three vials of blood, understood.
DUNCAN: Watch over your charges Alistair,
return quickly and safely.
ALISTAIR: We will.
DUNCAN: Then may the maker watch over
your path. I will see you when you return.
GUARD: Hail! I'm told you all have business in
the Wilds. The gates open for you, just be
careful out there. Even a Grey Warden
won't be safe in the forest tonight.
VOICE IN THE DISTANCE: Over here!
[Thud]
INJURED SOLDIER: (Pained) Who is that? Grey Wardens?
ALISTAIR: Well, he's not half as dead as he looks, is he?
INJURED SOLDIER: My scouting band was attacked by Darkspawn,
they came out of the ground. Please help
me. I've got to... return to camp.
ELISSA: We can take you back.
INJURED SOLDIER: If you just bandage me up,
I can get back myself.
ALISTAIR: I have bandages in my pack.
INJURED SOLDIER: Thank you. (groan) I've got to get out of here!
JORY: Did you hear? An entire patrol of
seasoned men killed by Darkspawn!
ALISTAIR: Calm down, Ser Jory. We'll be fine if we're careful.
JORY: Those soldiers were careful and
they were still overwhelmed.
How many Darkspawn can the four of us slay?
A dozen? A hundred? There's an entire
army in these forests.
ALISTAIR: There are Darkspawn about, but we're in no danger
of walking into the bulk of the horde.
JORY: How do you know? I'm not a coward but
this is foolish and reckless. We should go back.
ELISSA: Overcoming these dangers is part of our test.
JORY: That's true.
ALISTAIR: Knwo this, all Grey Wardens can sense Darkspawn.
Whatever their cunning, I
guarantee they won't take us by surprise.
That's why I'm here.
DAVETH: You see Ser Knight, we
might die. But we'll be warned about it first.
JORY: That is... reassuring.
ALISTAIR: That doesn't mean I'm here to make this easy, however.
So let's get a move on.
ALISTAIR: Let's get what we came for
and head back to Duncan.
DAVETH: That flower, white with a red center. The kennel
master at Ostagar was asking about those.
ELISSA: Why did he want them? Do you know?
DAVETH: The kennel master said this flower can help
dogs that get sick from biting Darkspawn.
At any rate, he was offering a reward if
someone went into the wilds and brought him one.
ELISSA: Where are you from Daveth?
DAVETH: I grew up in a village about a day's trip
to the east, little blot you wouldn't
even find on a map. Haven't been back in
years. I struck out for the city as soon
as I could outrun my Pa. I've been in
Denerim for what? Six years now. Never liked
it much, but there's more purses there
than anywhere else.
ELISSA: So... you're a cutpurse.
DAVETH: And a pickpocket thank you very much!
Or was, anyhow. Who'd ever guess I'd end
up a Grey Warden!
ELISSA: So how did the Grey Wardens find you?
DAVETH: I found them. I cut
Duncan's purse while he was standing in
a crowd. He grabs my wrist, but I squirm
out and bolt. The old bugger can run, but
the garrison caught me first. I'm a
wanted man in Denerim, you see. So they
were gonna string me up right there.
ELISSA: What happened then?
DAVETH: Duncan stopped them! Invoked the Right of Conscription.
I gave the garrison the finger while I was walking away.
Don't know why Duncan wants someone like me, but
he says finesse is important and that I'm
fast with a blade. Huh, you bet your boots I
am. Besides, it beats getting strung up (laughs).
ELISSA: Let's go
DAVETH: Hey, I'm following you, aren't I?
ALISTAIR: Look there! Poor slobs.
That just seems so excessive.
JORY: I am ready.
ELISSA: You said you were from Redcliffe?
JORY: I hail from Redcliffe, but Duncan
recruited me in Highever, a city off the
northern coast. Have you traveled there?
ELISSA: I'm from there, actually.
JORY: I was in Arl Eamon's retinue when he attended King
Maric's funeral. It was in Highever that I
met my Helena. I was smitten. She has the
most beautiful eyes, my Helena. Now for
years I found any excuse to return there.
We married a year ago. Arl Eamon gave me
leave to serve in Highever, but I was
attempting to persuade Helena to come to
Redcliffe with me, at least until I was recruited.
ELISSA: So you abandoned her?
JORY: Never! I will return to her once my duty is done
and the Blight defeated.
ELISSA: How did the Grey Wardens find you?
JORY: Last month, Duncan visited Highever, and the Bann held
a tournament in his honor. I won the
grand melee. It was hard to leave my wife,
we married only a year ago and she is
heavy with child now. But... Ferelden needs
my blade, and I shall not falter.
ELISSA: Let's go.
JORY: Indeed.
ALISTAIR: We still need to find those documents, if
they're even here.
MORRIGAN: Well, well. What have we here?
Are you a vulture, I wonder?
A scavenger poking amidst a corpse whose
bones were long since cleaned. Or merely
an intruder, come into these Darkspawn
filled wilds of mine in search of easy prey?
What say you, hmm?
Scavenger or intruder?
ELISSA: I am neither. The Grey Wardens once owned this tower.
MORRIGAN: 'tis a tower no longer, the Wilds have
obviously claimed this desiccated corpse.
I have watched your progress for some
time. Where do they go? I wondered.
Why... Are they here?
And now, you disturb ashes none
have touched for so long. Why is that?
ALISTAIR: Don't answer her. She looks Chasind, and
that means others may be nearby.
MORRIGAN: Ohhh! You fear barbarians will swoop down upon you!
ALISTAIR: Yes...swooping is bad...
DAVETH: She's a Witch of the Wilds,
she is. She'll turn us into toads.
MORRIGAN: Witch of the Wilds? Such idle fancies, those
legends. Have you no minds of your own?
You there, women do not frighten like
little boys. Tell me your name and I
shall tell you mine.
ELISSA: You can call me Elissa.
MORRIGAN: And you may call me Morrigan, if
you wish. Shall I guess your purpose? You
sought something in that chest, something
that is here no longer?
ALISTAIR: Here no longer?
You stole them, didn't you. You're some
kind of... sneaky... witch-thief.
MORRIGAN: How very eloquent.
How does one steal from dead men?
ALISTAIR: Quite easily, it seems.
Those documents are Grey Warden property and
I suggest you return them.
MORRIGAN: I will not, for 'twas was not I who removed them.
Invoke a name that means nothing
here any longer if you wish, I am not threatened.
ELISSA: Then who removed them?
MORRIGAN: 'twas my mother, in fact.
ELISSA: Your mother?!
MORRIGAN: Yes! My mother! Did
you assume I spawned from a log?
ALISTAIR: A thieving, weird-talking log perhaps.
MORRIGAN: Not all in the Wilds are monsters. Flowers
grow as well as toads. If you wish, I will
take you to my mother. 'tis not far from
here and you may ask her for your papers,
if you like.
ALISTAIR: We should get those treaties,
but I dislike this... Morrigan's sudden
appearance. It's too convenient.
ELISSA: Tell us more about your mother first.
MORRIGAN: She... prefers her privacy, but I imagine she will be
curious enough why you are here. Come,
see for yourself.
ELISSA: Why are you interested in helping us?
MORRIGAN: Why not?
I do not meet many people here. Are you
all so mistrustful?
ELISSA: I want an honest answer. Are you a Witch of the Wilds?
MORRIGAN: Have I been dishonest? Some
call us witches yes, but purely out of superstition
ALISTAIR: You know what the Circle of Magi is, don't you?
The Circle requires an
accounting of all mages, that is the law
of the land and the Chantry.
MORRIGAN: If you wish to tell your Chantry about me, go ahead.
I have nothing to fear from priests.
ELISSA: I say we go with her.
DAVETH: She'll put us all in the pot, she will.Just you watch.
JORY: If the pot's warmer than this forest, it'll be a nice change
MORRIGAN: Follow me then, if it pleases you.
MORRIGAN: Greetings, mother.
I bring before you four Grey Wardens, who-
FLEMETH: I see them girl. hmm
much as I expected.
ALISTAIR: Are we supposed to believe you were expecting us?
FLEMETH: You are required to do nothing,
least of all believe. Shut one's eyes
tight or open one's arms wide, either way
one's a fool.
DAVETH: She's a witch, I tell you. We
shouldn't be talking to her.
JORY: Quiet Daveth, if she's really a witch do you want to make her mad?
FLEMETH: There is a smart lad,
sadly irrelevant to the larger scheme of
things, but it is not I who decides
believe what you will. And what of you,
does your woman's mind to give you a
different viewpoint, or do you believe as
these boys do?
ELISSA: Not sure what to believe.
FLEMETH: A statement that possesses more wisdom
than it implies. Be always aware, or is it
oblivious? I can never remember. So much
about you is uncertain.
And yet I believe. Do I? Why? It seems I do.
ALISTAIR: Soo, this is a dreaded Witch of the Wilds?
FLEMETH: Witch of the Wilds, huh? Morrigan
must have told you that, she fancies such
tales, though she would never admit it.
Oh how she dances under the moon, (laughs)
MORRIGAN: They did not come to listen to your wild tales, mother.
FLEMETH: True, they came for their treaties,
yes. And before you begin barking, your
precious seal wore off long ago. I have
protected these.
ALISTAIR: You!... Oh... you protected them .
FLEMETH: And why not? Take them to your Grey Wardens and tell them this Blight's
threat is greater than they realize.
ELISSA: What do you mean the threat is greater than they realize?
FLEMETH: Either the threat is more,
or they realize less. Or perhaps the
threat is nothing! (laughs) Or perhaps
they realize nothing! (laughs) Oh, do not mind me (laughs).
You have what you came for
MORRIGAN: Time for you to go then.
FLEMETH: Do not be ridiculous, girl. These are your guests!
MORGIAN: (sighs) Oh, very well. I will show you out of the woods.
Follow me.
