I love this. It’s madness. Wow. XD

Wurmssssssss.

@koshka

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]

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]

@koshka

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]

@koshka

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]

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.

@koshka

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]

@koshka

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]

@koshka

Eh….XD I’ll let you come to your own conclusions.

I’m worried for this boy. Clearly being a prince has caused him much turmoil.

Moth

“I’ll show you.” Moth got up, dusting off his legs, which only brushed off some scales and made more dust.

He pulled a wooden stob and rod out of a box. The stob was full of lumps and grooves, and he exp…[Read more]

@koshka

Adventures…in his world those usually included being tied up or locked in a closet.

Ari… Are you ok?

Moth

“That’s what my adventures are for. To make the stories. But a lot of the stories are those I collect from the earth, and from my subjects.”

That gave him an idea. He gazed up at the open, foggy skylight, as tendrils of mist d…[Read more]

@koshka

Moth

Most of the things Moth liked to do were difficult to explain. They were so specific to his own life, that some of his pastimes didn’t have names.

He stuffed the last bit of bread crust in his mouth. “I like going on adventures and telling stories.”

@koshka

Moth

Moth gave Ari a slow, bright-eyed smile. Then his brows knitted together and he melted back into his normal, dead serious expression. He sucked the honey from his fingers. “I’m sure you’ll be a great archer. What else do you intend to get good at?”

@koshka

Moth

Ari sounded like he didn’t care about making friends, or at least, didn’t want to. But as he absently looked around the room, he didn’t look half as abrasive as before.

Moth got up and started unpacking the few boxes next to his sleeping bag. He found more packaged food. “You like archery? Are you any good?”

He broke bread in…[Read more]

@koshka

Moth

”I’ve only met two other people, at dinner. What about you?”

@ellette-giselle :]

@koshka

Moth

“A lamp or two. Yes.” Moth hung from the window by a hand, then dropped on all fours to the floor. He settled down peacefully in the middle of the room, cross-legged. His body, so brightly colored, almost lit up the dingy room by itself.

“What is your mother like? Did she send you here?” he asked.

@koshka

@whalekeeper

I so love these two!!

@koshka

Moth

“But people don’t want dust on their clothes. I ought to get furniture, do you think?”

Ari wanted a window open; he had pointed at one of the squares in the multifaceted skylight.

Moth put his foot on the wall, then the other. The bottoms of his feet invisibly attached to the papered plaster. He walked up the wall, then hung…[Read more]

@koshka

Moth

“No. But I’ll let you know if I do.”

Moth moved aside so Ari could see the gray door guarded a tiny, dilapidated staircase. The two of them walked up, steps creaking as they went.

At the top, Moth gazed at the empty attic-like room set before him. The darkening skylight cast little light in the corners and against the peeling…[Read more]
