Now you know how I feel when one of my witches or both of them show naked in the front of me   Good story Residan and very nice pictures. This one is my favorite. She is god damn too beautiful

Oh wow. I want to comment, but I keep staring at the sreenshots instead. They are absolutely breathtaking. ?

So much beautiful symbolism in this entry (whether intentional or not). The clouded fog like Gwyn's clouded mind, Dibella's face being the same as her own (that's not just arrogance - that's a bit of the same narcissism as Eliza possesses ?) and the main one - the fall.  I wonder if you meant for the falling sequence to show not just the actual tumble, but also the character's possible descend into becoming a 'fallen hero'. Loved the addition of the scar ( I recognized it even before reading the actual text) and Dibella's overall demeanor. She took the stance of "Do as you see fit, but don't hide behind my name" which is befitting of her stature as a love goddess.

I also find it very curious that the first thoughts that Gwynolda had was whether she's being visited by a Daedric Prince instead of one of the Divines.

Now the main question arises: will Gwyn rethink her actions and become Dibella's champion or will she continue with her descend? If it's only power that she desires, then there are other, darker entities that can make her their champion. At the same time, if she chooses to go back on the path of goodness and compassion, then her dreams of getting revenge on everyone who wronged her would never come true.  That's a tough choice and I'm really looking forward to seeing where you'll go with this.

Wonderful work, as always! ?

Thank you Prince ❤️

Yep, I agree, Gwynolda definetly has the blessings of Dibella's look.

I took a bit of resize of the pic you shared of her, was a bit too big for the comment section, I hope its no problem Prince ?

Im glad you like the screenshot, yes some of them are really good, but I was not happy with all of them, nice to hear they are good ?

Symbolism is do intentional, I usually favor the use of them as my other chapter showcased them. Im glad you noticed them, even if they were not that subtle here, Im happy they are visible ones ?

Cloud, Mist and Fog, it both showcasing the Mind of Gwynolda, after getting her memories back and herself as person, so her path and the fate of Riften.

Her mind is clouded, so is the visions of her Matron, and the city, same time as the next day in story beacons everything is clearer.

Gwynolda is very proud of her beauty, she always showcased in the past she actually think other girls are not pretty as her, she never thought any of her romantic interest prettier then herself. She seeing her own face at the Goddess of Beauty is yes a very strong sign, she not different in this aspect from her mother, but Gwynolda truly believes she is most blessed by Dibella.

However as much she self centered in her own beauty, Gwynolda do express care and love for other persons then being herself compared Eliza.

It mean she slowly fall yes, she kinda on the ground actually at the end of the dream and fall, it meant she slowly losing the grace and blessings and facor as the Goddess herself question and ask Gwynolda, as she fall from her own idealised image of the Champion and Rightful Dibellan sister.

Eliza's traits on her and scar is the strongest symbol how she actually failed, now she looks as much what she hates.

Dibella not gonna force on her anything, she just given a chance to her to earn her favor back, but not mind if Gwynolda actually fall.

Gwynolda not really think any divine would actually talk to her directly, especially when Evelynn told her she is not the Sybil, she is aware the Daedra is more active and more prone to make deceit and lies, the dream one led her think its the Daedric Prince of the Dreams and Nightmares then actually her Matron herself.

Dibella not even intended to manifest physically, she just did to make Gwynolda stop question it.

Now we have the big Dilemma and the questions, technicly Gwynolda lost her Goddess favor due her long list of actions, she already almost a fallen hero.

She have the the Faith of Her Goddess and other Divines, which is core of her character and her goals of revenge on those who wronged her, but she can't pick both since Dibella not support that.

I'm rooting for Gwynolda!  She should do what she thinks is right!  

Very and I mean very nice done. Agree with my Prince that she is extremely beautiful.

> it's nothing unusual for you,my luv. You are horny all the time. Ivy and I don't even have to be naked. Just to suck your lips or tongue  

Really like the big drastic change from reality to transcendent dream. Ever thought of changing ENBs just for the dream part?

I love the first two shots of your story especially the one that was also you cover.  I would suggest for some shots, such as  #2 and #5, have her eyes look either slightly left or right so your characters will seem to have more contemplative expression.

Nice chapter! Like the development with Gwynolda and there are some really gorgeous shots here. That transition from the image without the scar to the one with the scar in the same pose is one of those things that only other storytellers will realize is a huge pain in the ass to do without losing your camera angle. ?

Thank you ?, certainly the highlight of the entry was the dream.

While actually I not thought on changing one, if the dream need different vibe and feel then my current enb has, then yes I def would thought or use some tool where I can mess with the colors. ?

I didn't expect the fog this much strong there so the place actually ended up as mysterious clouded one, instead what actually is, so ended up better then expected.

Thanks for the tips, I try see what can I do about that. ?

Yeah, I lost the angle when I changed her to be current look with scars, and thought I got the right angle, well then bam and no, it is infact a big ass pain. ?

Quite the interesting and unexpected entry here ! I do agree with what's been said, a lot of shots are truly aesthetic, and there was more than once were we could've seen symbolism behind some of their elements. (the scar, but also Eliza's black hair being earned during her metaphorical fall). A divine intervention was something I didn't foresee, but it'll make Malicia happy. ^^ Plus now, we have the possibility to have Gwynolda go either way storywise. So even more questions arose !

Malicia : « The blonde lady who forgot her panties is very right, yes : what Gwynolda did was very bad ! She must stop listening to the silly red guy, and start making cookies right now.  »

I'd say the chances for that are rather low. Gwynolda progressively lost her love for others, replacing it with hate, more-over towards those her faith despise, which are daedras and undead. She would need something like a mead barrel falling over her head to even consider serving a daedra, IMO. ^^

Thank you ?

Not even I can predict what I gonna do next, let alone my readers, since generally my plans and inspiration is wary a lot. ?

The divine intervention form Dibella is sign, Gwynolda is kinda a fallen hero at the moment, like a paladin or a cleric she lost her powers and the grace of her Goddess.

I mean for her actions in the story and slow progress to make her own fall, reached the consequence, she got punished accordingly.

Althought compared in the lore Example for what other Divines did as punishment, Gwynolda got away very easily, but fitting for Dibella.

Gwynolda lost her talent for restoration magic, she is now just as average, which is big disadvantage when it comes to the creatures of the night and other realms and healing herself or others.

Her other skills not really effected, since she is not directly getting her power from Dibella, so illusion magic, burning people and anything what she inherited to Eliza is there, who

she looks close as possible now.

What Gwynolda do is pretty much up to her, yeah she need a big ass mead barrel to even think going any other being to follow then Dibella ?

Blonde Lady is her Goddess, Malicia and she is right here ?

Now you mention, Dibella with Malicia's face and start talking about meany things and pee-pee would be hillarious. ?

Oh my. It's really pretty cruel. Guess Dibell aint joking this time =( 
It seems to me that she run in circles, constantly changing her opinion about things. This is an interesting line of behavior.

Gwynolda pretty much questioned a bit burning the girl alive thing and her conclusion was, nah it was cool, so her opinion remained the same as in the previous entry.

She lost her blessings and talent and got a scar, even cursed to have her mother's trait on the look, and her Goddess decided to rather harsh with her, would be weird if she not change opinions.

She is kinda thought Dibella agree with her actions.

Truth be told : Dibella received too much readers complaints about Gwynolda's alignment. She thought she had to set things straight once and for all.

She seems to clearly be at a crossroads. And to think Malicia was pushed out of this, at such a crucial moment ! ^^

Well being confronted to such perfection would explain why she fell off her feet indeed.

But I think the light of such wisdom would get too intense for our simple screens, we might turn blind upon opening the entry. ?

thank you very interesting development and lovely Ladies to see and all... waiting to see the future of this beautiful girl ? ?

Well yeah kinda is, but thankfully my enb setup and the fogs, its not that visible.

Dibella technicly nordic goddess as well, hence why her look is more nordic in this version.

Nicely done! That was an excellent twist with Dibella. Really clever way of delivering the intended message to Gwynolda. And I loves the reflection of the same face! Really cool detail. Great work!

I always thought the more divine character types like paladin and cleric has deeper connection to the deity they worship, they have to follow a set path, going down from there might end up a divine punishment or intervention

Althought Gwynolda is the Sybil in this case, her actions was not favorable by the goddess, thus the intervention happened.

Yeah, Gwynolda always had an arrogance for her own look, bit narcistic like her mother in that aspect, and I always thought the beauty is subjective, so everyone sees Dibella as who or what they thinkt he prettiest.
