Rallascant

“Come, come. Wonder and adventure and all that rot await you. Don’t drag your feet, now.” Rallascant chuckled to himself as he quickly led the newcomer further into the hedge maze. They turned a corner, and came to a dead end. Half nestled in the leaves at the end of the passage was a stone statue, about sev…[Read more]

hope she has fun on her trip heheh

just curious, how old is Acharis?

I’ll be praying.

If anyone wants to do a writing call etc. I’m up for it. I do have business stuff/Necessary writing that I desperately need to do. The impetus would be…[Read more]

I wasn’t gonna click on it anyway, I knew we didn’t have anything going on and it looked sus to me, but thanks for the warning.

Yeah not sure what else to say. Thanks for reading. Sorry again for neglecting this topic so…[Read more]

Wilhelm

“What kind of river?” Wilhelm asked absently as he pushed himself back to his feet. As delightful as a little chaos was for a small while, the disorder was already eating at his nerves.

He began pulling the mats back into place. Their smell intensified as with every slap against the stone floor. Herbaceous green was…[Read more]

Ari

“A what?” he yelled, eyes squeezed shut. Moth laughed.

“Me neither! It is a fun ride, is it not?”

Fun wasn’t the work he would have chosen, but it was certainly exciting, as long as he didn’t slip and die. Much like tying himself behind a dozen wild horses and hoping he didn’t end up dragged to a pulp.

Honestly, he might have…[Read more]

I will have to read this! *Leaves tab open*

Hey, it’s not as weird as some of the things that have happened when our very different fantasy realms mix. (I don’t know either)

Thanks! I can do a little art, off and on, but commissions etc. are beyond me at the moment. Seeing what y’all do will be great inspiration and solace for a weary brain. 😄

I love this. It’s madness. Wow. XD

Wurmssssssss.

If I describe a character as strange, I have to show why. :p

Moth

Moth hooked his arm around Ari’s, linking them together so the boy did not fall to his death. The two of them whipped about, the wind ripping through their hair and clothes. If not for Moth’s abilities, they would fall off instantly. It was like being caught in a death roll. One moment they were upside down, and the next, yanked upr…[Read more]

Just from the first few sentences I was intrigued! The fact that you referred to the “gods” as actual beings is interesting. This is what they call their leaders, I assume? Considering one is on trial and another was injured in a fight, behaviors an immortal non-human god presumably can’t display.

I also love the color magic! In the…[Read more]

Sorry if his mood or personality is inconsistent. He’s still very underdeveloped.

Ellis

Ellis looked at Callum without turning his head. He didn’t really understand the issue. The awkward silence had gone by him unnoticed.

“Don’t apologize to me. You’re a prince. You can speak or not as you please. My elder brother talks even l…[Read more]

You don’t like worms?? Oh no!! XD I didn’t stop to think you might be squeamish.

Lol. XP

Ari

Breath in his throat, ears ringing. No time to think. He dove for Moth’s outstretched hand.

Not that he didn’t think. But with all the blood, slime, and darkness, this could easily get beyond what he’d ever want to think of aga…[Read more]

Wormmmmmmmmmsssssssssss

This is literally a childhood nightmare of mine. Wormmmmmssss…=|

You don’t like worms?? Oh no!! XD I didn’t stop to think you might be squeamish.

Moth

Moth stood up and pulled Ari back. With startling firmness, he took Ari’s knife and sliced through his own palm. He winced. Pain blossomed there, and b…[Read more]

This is literally a childhood nightmare of mine. Wormmmmmssss…=|

I am quite content with whatever length you prefer to write. :]

Yay. XD

Ari

Ah. So this is what Moth had meant by squeamish. Wonderful.

Worms didn’t eat living creatures, did they? He watched the glistering beasts, hand on his dagger, eyes darkly livid. Daring one…[Read more]

And that was a very short reply to such a beautifully long role play. I shall aspire to do better.

I am quite content with whatever length you prefer to write. :]

@loopylin

He’s bony and noticeably haggard, with dark skin and – was his hair in braids? I think so. Orange and white clothing. I haven’t thought much about his physical des…[Read more]

Moth

Ari swore from where he stood, and Moth chuckled inwardly.

The soil churned with the smallest of its living citizens. The sound was too much for them to bear. They rose from sleep, their long, slithery bodies glittering under the moon.

Moth steadied his stance and let out a high-pitched, piercing cry.

A giant worm burst out of…[Read more]

Ari

Thunder rolling in the earth quivered up from his feet to his spine. The ground shook, cracked. Changed.

Ari swore–fervently. He had the sense that more devout people would have prayed. But considering they were all dead…

He swore again.

If he didn’t already prefer having his eyes and tongue inside his head, being lost to his family was almost appealing.

I knew Ari was going to say that. Goodness, child. Equal parts sassy and sad

Moth

Ari wasn’t easily disturbed by jokes. That was a good sign. Although he already seemed like a brave person and there was no reason to doubt it, he also had no idea what Moth’s life was like. But then again, maybe the two boys had more similarities to uncover. Who was to say?

“We are… Hold on.” Moth muttered. He crouched down. “I…[Read more]

Ari

That was…oddly specific. And like nothing he’d heard of before.

If he didn’t already prefer having his eyes and tongue inside his head, being lost to his family was almost appealing. He shrugged.

“That sounds uncomfortable. So what are doing?”

Moth

“I was making fun of you mortals. If I was not as I am, I would lead you into faerie land, pluck your eyes and tongue, and you would be lost to your family forever.” Moth shrugged.

Ari

His eyes narrowed, but in confusion not anger.

“Human?” He shook his head. Another word he didn’t quite know the meaning of. “Do you mean mortal, children of the cursed? Or just the dust born in general?”

And what did his creation heritage have to do…[Read more]

Callum

“Huh.” Callum felt just as confused as Ellis had to feel. “It sounds like a crazy dream. I hope it’s not perfectly replicating what’s going to happen.”

He stumbled over the last couple words and lapsed into silence. The gold rings in his hair clinked together as he bowed his head. He stared at his hands, then at the ground to t…[Read more]

Moth

Not much time passed before a familiar, dark-headed boy appeared around the corner.

“Ari! I don’t know if we’re meant to be this far outside at night.” Moth pointed towards the greater expanse of land, hedges and small trees making up most of it. “We have to go farther.”

They walked casually through the dark, grassy grounds. Ari…[Read more]

XD

Ari

Moth disappeared through the roof in a last swirl of gold and dust. Silence settled in the shadows.

He hadn’t realized how much the bright younger boy had chased those shadows away. At least for a little while. Ari turned his back on the darkened room.

Time to break curfew. Again. The stairs creaked under his feet as he…[Read more]

Huntress

Azalea pressed down on a part of the wall, and it slid open, revealing another tunnel. This one sloped downward, lit by dim sconces like the one we’d first gone through.

“Here we go,” she said as we started down this pathway.

It was a lot longer than I’d assumed. Maybe it was like one of those freaky sci-fi stories with…[Read more]

Here’s the things I thought of after my first readthrough. They may be slightly random.

1. I think the worldbuilding and magic system is introduced in understandable amounts (though I already knew some things about the magic system so I may not be the best judge)

b. It’s very engaging to read and if I picked this up in a bookstore and…[Read more]

Okay, deal! I’m excited too to see how they turn out.

No, you don’t have to follow the art style. Just try to capture the same general look.

I love how everyone who meets Ral has an instant dislike for him as soon as he opens his mouth XD I find it very amusing

Lol I’ll need to go read some of the other characters’ encounters.

Acharis

Acharis paused for a moment before following. His fingers closed around his sword. Just in case.

He didn’t speak. Asking questions wou…[Read more]

If it helps, he does eventually figure things out and have a relatively happy life.

Ok, good. I’m glad he gets a balance of good and bad experiences.

Moth

“Good.” Moth was outside the window now, and he faced Ari through it, a cool wind flicking its ghostly fingers through his hair.

He gave the human boy a last nod before he stood up on…[Read more]

If it helps, he does eventually figure things out and have a relatively happy life.

Ari

Squeamish? He hesitated a moment, considering what that was supposed to mean. He’d hunted and cleaned deer, helped in the stables, and patched up uncountable injuries of his own. He’d even helped burry a few of his father’s political enemies, as…[Read more]
