Here is Last Enigmas, chapter 100 of The odds were never in my favour.

I hope everyone will enjoy!

Writing of an Impractical Guide to Godhood will begin later this week, more likely Friday or Saturday. There's a lot of preparation work involved. I promise you will get an update this month, though it may not be the entire chapter.

What else?

Last Enigmas will be updated later this week on the other websites, that much is certain. There might be a few surprises here on patreon before an Impractical Guide to Godhood.

Here we go!

And here we are, chapter 100. What a wild ride

Hoooly moly... What a wild road... Ra is absolute monster... This is way so over the line, even bad guys feel bad for the victims...

The judges are sadists, yes. Well, dear Ludy, you’re safe in that, at least – and it does show off your curves, although I wouldn’t want to be caught staring, I had grown rather fond of my body, after all. That’s just bad, you should be ashamed of yourself, Alex. Well, I’ll start calling Leo, Lego from now on. And Neville realised he f-ed up in 3, 2, 1… Apparently he didn’t, what a surprise. Not even a reaction to ‘the judges are sadists’ *facepalm * Poor Fleur, baby have to dye her perfect hair, bo hoo. Now now now, Eleonora, you are supposed to be innocence, you really shouldn't be flirting like that. Ah yes, the day court, bring on the train wreck. A yep And so the night court decided to go down the insurgent route. Smart. That’s bad. And the build up continues.

Well, at least no one will be able to say, that the tasks from number 4 onward will be boring. The enhanced capabilities of a few light champions will raise eyebrows .... at least until certain people (i.e. Alexandra, Lyudmilla, Osiris, Morgaine, etc) are having enough this pile of excrements and let Ra know of his failures via very visible example making. That said Knight General, who is now named even if his name doesn't tell me much, counted 5 activations of the grail. That seems to be the unseen teacher-champion, Frode Falk, Henri de Conde, Neville Longbottom as well as the seemingly newfound replacement for Lorenzo de Medici, because i doubt Fleur and Eleonora showed themselves for that event. I mean it is not as if the mind-/soul-/bodyraping of these people will in any kind or way horribly backfire. Oh and Osiris decides to alleviate his boredom a bit ... totally not ominous. That said, let me get back to stuff, we will decidedly not see: - Alexandra and Lyudmilla taking an enthusiastic walk through venice while costumed as Mordred and Nydhögg. Nailing idiots to walls with their own weapons or chucking them into the near freezing canals. All that while bickering at each other with a hapless bannerbearer (with Mordreds banner for good measure) in tow - Eleonora and Osiris having a chat ... with Osiris actually complimenting her at least until Osiris notices that Eleonora stands there a tiny little bit shellshocked. - Knight Summoner having drawn the short stick for championsitting duty while Alexandra and Lyudmilla pull the aforementioned stunt *choking noises are heard, three little birds are startled and divebomb into a female back with three *wump* sounds* "Thank you ... what have I done to deserve this?" *meanwhile in a faraway Exchequer base a pawn claws at the ground while he is being dragged back into an animal cage by a mighty beastie* "What have i done to deserve this?" *back in venice* "chirp chirp." "What do you mean I know what I did?" "chirp!" "chirp chirp chirp!" "yeah, okay, you are right, I did that. But that ...." chirp chirp chirpie-di-chirp!" "okay, I did that too. Now can we ..." "chirp chip" "what do you mean, why am I still standing here instead of ... They got away, didn't they?" "chirp!" "and why didn't you tell me earlier?" - Knight disney Princess and a bunch of small birds

All who believe that Eleanora will become the new neutral champion and bring balance to the world, like this comment. After all, balance had to be restored. And nothing is more neutral than the Innocents thrust into conflict, like Alexandra who grew up under prejudice, Ginny who had a very bad encounter, Lyra who was taken advantage of, Eleanora who wanted to do good and ended up with bad, Neville who is a sheep for the slaughter, Leo who is fodder, Henri that is trying to be civil, etc etc. If you think it's a different Champion, like Neville's Fate returning to the Neutral position, comment your arguments!

Congratulations on 100 chapters!

Congrudulations on 100! Loved everything about the chapter and what a cliffhanger to leave us on! Also, love the reveal of Knight General! Though as a fan of the Bizantine Empire, I have to ask why you didn't choose Belasarius?

Bel

Oh wow, that was great. ...The 'ultimate cheating drink'...wow, that's going to play havoc. With the abilities it grants so blatant, that's going to have repercussions. Also, man, Ra is just a bigger and bigger monster every time I see it. I wonder what Dumbledore would think seeing what it did to Neville. For all that Dumbledore is a monster in this fic, he's not on the level of Ra. When even Osiris is horrified for what you have done, man you have gone very far past 'just a bit bad'. Poor Henri as well :( Looking forward to 101!

Ok, that bodes ill. This is just... the 4th Task is going to turn into a disaster withe the Day Court and the Light's forces overplaying their hand. Bloodbath, can we say? (Bets on Poliakov becoming the Dark Champion sacrificed to trigger the Grail's plague?)

Congratulations and thank you for 100 chapters.

I hope henri has some hope left... Cause he was too nice to die to callously.

Ouch. Poor Henri. From what I'm getting the light pretty much gave up on the long term game. All their champions are going to get stronger yes but they gonna burn fast and not gonna last. Also makes sense from the storyline POV since none of the Light champions has proven to be even a mild inconvinience tonthe dark champions. The boost is very much needed. The problem is that doing it this way has all but freed Osiris to act as he sees fit. My general impression is that this task is going to end up like a real bloodbath. If Osiris can force Neville to confront Voldemort in the task he might be able to neutralize Fate for the rest of the Tournament. That would leave 4 champions to account for, which is doable if the Night court plays their cards right. The problems for Alex are really gonna come from the sheer numbers her enemies have at their disposal. I will admit I did not like how the clues were written or resolved in this chapter. They felt clunky and disconnected from the narrative. Surprised we didn't see Dumbledore reaction to the ceremony. Is he actually aware of how his precious students are about to be used as fire and forget weapons ? Also regarding the artifacts did we at any point actually cover what happenned to the spear and to the ark ?

Jaco

Is it just me, or does anyone else get Prince of Egypt vibes from Ra and Osiris?

Lee Shilo

Is Neville's forhead horcrux sturdy enough to survive the infusion of light?

Forgottenone

So far I have not seen a rule about mundane weapons like actual daggers, causes this is a perfect setting for assassin's to go on a murder spree while being protected by international wizarding law.

Songy

Thanks for the chapter! I might read too much into my own interpretation of the symbolism but wouldn't effectively sacrificing the Champion of Innocence against their will or consent go right against the core principle of well... innocence? Meaning that every time Ra did something like this or even attempted it, it should have weakened his hold over the aspect in whatever capacity he can use his authority over the light side.

Jaco

Are the champions going to be graded out of 100 points for the whole Carnival? Or will there be more points because it is a fifteen day Challenge?

Megaman Beastout

So how long will be Carnival Arc? Is it going to be our first multi-chapter tournament? Has anyone told you that your Alexandra and Taylor feel pretty similar lmao? Bet they have the same voice actor lmao. This gets me humoring the thought of someone SI (Alexandra) into Taylor in Worm, go try to save the world but then The Changer of Ways comes and yoinks her away into TWO. Out of the alien frying pan and into the demonic fire as they say.
