A tale from the earliest days of the Arkati Tonis is now available on the wiki. Enjoy!

>Well gee, Tonis sure is a naughty little boy!

The Seventeen Spankings of Tonis, my Mularosian story, was resoundingly rejected by the senior staff. What can I say?

This is fantastic Auchand, the best Arkati doc yet, very well written in the same style as a classical folktale, and what a great set of cameos for Koar, Lumnis, Phoen, Oleani, Eorgina...and...Marlu? I have no idea if that was what was intended but the idea of a baby Marlu is hilarious to me personally as it was my first main's Arkati.

<You hear someone chuckling from behind you. Whirling around, you see Kai with a grin from ear to ear.
>squeal kai
You look at the Kai and squeal.
Kai slaps you in the face and says, "Had enough, little one?"

>I tried to change the story title to 50 Shades of Tonis. But alas Auchand caught that edit, too.

Also rejected: Game of Tonis, Tonis Does Dallas, and Tonis Wide Shut. The last one didn't even make sense.

>I have no idea if that was what was intended but the idea of a baby Marlu is hilarious to me personally as it was my first main's Arkati.

I definitely had an intent in mind, but really, it's open to interpretation like most stories from so very long ago.

>I enjoyed both of these new stories. Thank for providing them.

I'm so glad you like them! Will try to keep them coming.

Lovely story!

I did find a typo though. In this paragraph, the word he is missing as noted: "They had infested the surrounding lands in such numbers that seeking the rift meant a fool’s death, though drakes and Arkati both tried. But Tonis did not--could not--know of this, until came a day when he stopped to rest on a new-formed island far out in the seas."

I'm always a sucker for insinuated relationships between Eorgina and Marlu, I even have a version of her (possibly both of them) depicted on Xorus' vruul leathers.

I love the way the Ur-Daemon are described and depicted. It is also totally consistent with what little we know about them.
