[Special] The Black Ship | What if...
Added 2025-02-07 14:45:59 +0000 UTCEver wondered what might have happened if Wyatt had never intervened during the Royal Yacht’s attack? Ekhinda has been toying with this idea for a while, and today he’s shared the finished short story (exclusive to Patreon) that finally brought it to life.
I hope you enjoy this glimpse into an alternate path.

It reminds me of how many 'what ifs' everyone of us had already. Every decision we make counts; however small and insignificant it may seem, the consequences could be beyond imagination. I like this 'what if'

2025-06-07 18:39:57 +0000 UTCthis ‘what if’ rewired my brain. lol. main story is head and shoulders above the what if. i get that a lot of the story arcs are not fleshed out, but it is a weak shadow of the original story. it is thoughtful of the author to show it, as it is a good tool for new material to show up.

2025-04-03 23:21:44 +0000 UTCIt was just an itch Ekhinda wanted to scratch. It's a one off.

2025-02-23 09:35:00 +0000 UTCI like this what if but the black ship story towers above this.
Terrill Hester
2025-02-23 09:31:54 +0000 UTCIntriguing "what if" but it does pain my heart to see Wyatt not doing anything... but the Human delegation mentioned prolly the Duke's benefactors eh

2025-02-11 01:58:23 +0000 UTCJust a thought here, but stories like Worlo and this would be great exclusives and offer Ekhidna a chance to play with some side stories while building the epic Black Ship we are so fond of. I for one would love to hear some tales from Woodshaft after they left (gossip/lore spreading), and some rumors that ran wild from after the duel with Salazar Reid (speculations/plots), You know the bar scene at Woodshaft had to be off the hook with tales recanted to travelers about Wyatt, the Prince & Princess, Yarblik backing by Astors, maybe some spy action trying to trace Wyatt details.

2025-02-10 18:54:15 +0000 UTCOriginal storyline is much better.

2025-02-09 00:07:12 +0000 UTCHow about a history of a friendship and then rivalry between the roaring lion and Redford

2025-02-08 19:30:24 +0000 UTCI personally prefer my original black ship story the way it is I thank you for the effort but this is not my cup of tea.
Carl Shultz
2025-02-08 15:37:16 +0000 UTCThere is no way I like this. Notice he didn't give away who Draymore started a coup for clever Ekindha lol

2025-02-08 01:09:14 +0000 UTC'Hums deeply' It's ok and a nice treat but I wouldn't swap our Wyatt for this version, looking forward to Tuesday.
Jayne
2025-02-08 00:33:36 +0000 UTCVery well done. It shows how one decision could alter the future.
Fred Flint
2025-02-08 00:18:35 +0000 UTCI’ve been wondering how Ekhidna would’ve written the first episode shame nobody knows who wrote it but I love this version
Jeremy Cable
2025-02-07 21:38:22 +0000 UTCPleasant surprise!! It’s cool but I like our current story a lot more…..so hooked😊
Colin Sland
2025-02-07 20:28:19 +0000 UTCWell I can see this happening in a different time-line where Wyatt wasn't attacked by the Drazzan on his school trip and all his friends are still alive. In that case he would not have the drive to avenge them and he would not have a reason to become stronger. Having a "normal" live would definitely change how he acts and thinks about blue bloods and helping them.

2025-02-07 18:49:40 +0000 UTCdefinitely a different perspective… although, i do like our favorite…
william lemon
2025-02-07 18:00:45 +0000 UTCI second that
Thierry Vandekerkhove
2025-02-07 17:20:30 +0000 UTCAn interesting what if... And I agree it's nice to have some exclusivity for patreon members. Thank you and I encourage you to try other ideas.
TheDreadDonzarion
2025-02-07 17:10:56 +0000 UTCThanks for the exclusive. Like many I enjoy reading The Black Ship version of Wyatt more than the brief version of Wyatt that played it safe. Ekhidna writes well and could have provided another version of the story, but it would probably have been appreciated by a different fan base.
T Griffetts
2025-02-07 17:04:35 +0000 UTCWyatt, a great could have been.
Jesse Roberson
2025-02-07 16:49:57 +0000 UTCWell at least he’s getting laid and has found peace. However I prefer sir wyatt and his accolades
Jason Wilson
2025-02-07 16:00:17 +0000 UTCI think he already meet her ! But that's just my bet (but it could be to much sand to his old hauler
Jaime Nunes
2025-02-07 15:39:21 +0000 UTCThis path is safe, and without any notice. Hum. No bravery, little care, and no recognition. Hummm.
Jeff Wright
2025-02-07 15:27:58 +0000 UTCI wonder if/when Wyatt will meet his 'wife' in this timeline?
Dennis McCarthy
2025-02-07 15:15:21 +0000 UTCWOW... that is something... I agree, other way is better but I get this too...
Jason Watkins
2025-02-07 15:08:31 +0000 UTCThis is what I'm talking about.I need an increase my subscription.A little bit of exclusivity is nice

2025-02-07 15:05:19 +0000 UTCKinda feel basmd for the yourubies, they won't get to listen to this particular story.
Jose Barahona Lopez
2025-02-07 15:04:32 +0000 UTCEkhidna your an amazing author and i hope you become super famous and sell millions of books. May everything you touch turn to gold
WRINN SAMQUANCH
2025-02-07 15:04:15 +0000 UTCWell, I think it could have happened that way but one never knows what an individual event might do to the future. But I like the main story better. Waiting for Tuesday!
J.R. Turner
2025-02-07 15:03:30 +0000 UTCWell let's see if Wyatt is able to finish the war faster then the Duke Draymore
Jaime Nunes
2025-02-07 15:00:26 +0000 UTCAwsome can't wait for more
