Ari

Moth wilted a little. Ari looked away, but he could still feel the fairy boy’s petal-blue eyes. His skin prickled. He glanced at Ellis without expecting anything helpful from that quarter.

Bother.

A sigh chuffed out of his lungs.

“What type of science class am I going to?”

Those cats. Gracious.

They kinda fit too. XD

Yeeaaah that’s true. :-p They could easily turn sour towards each other. And that’s okay. No problem with little skirmishes.

Koshka, I was a little mentally exhausted last night, and when I tried to write, this collection of images suddenly flashed in my mind. I’m afraid I saw our characters as these cats.

Moth

“Come with us, Ari.” Moth let his antennae droop, just a little.

I feel like if it weren’t for Moth, Ari and Ellis would probably not get along.

I feel this is true. Probably more than is good. XD

Ari

His eyes narrowed at Ellis’s back a moment, but the question seemed innocent enough.

“I was not unwilling.” It was nice, after all, to still be breathing. “But of course, no knowledge m…[Read more]

Oh my.

Ari

Go with them, to a stuffy, windowless room full of stuffy, young princes? He looked askance at the two boys.

“A asfendë, Firefly. I do not think…” A teacher’s wide, frozen smile flashed to mind. “I happen to be one of those who wishes for classes. And those classes certainly do not wish for me.”

He…[Read more]

UM EXCUSE ME??!!

apparently I did miss a lot!! When did you get engaged??? That’s so exciting!!! < 33

I would have replied sooner but every time I tried to log into KP it wouldn’t load 😭

-Hmmmm. Gael, Tavion and Raven.

Cool!! None of those names ring a bell… are they from your WIP or a different book??

-Writing traveling. Getting my charries from A to B. ALSO editing it just AWFUL XD I love draft one…. I just love the whole thing…

Moth

“Yes. I will go to your science class. And Ari will come with us.”

Welp, let’s hope this one doesn’t go haywire.

Ari

Ah, yes. Most students here did regularly attend classes. Ari nodded, his lips twitching at Moth’s antics.

“There are classes for those who wish for them.”

It wasn’t as if he never attended a class. There was choir, and…well, there was choir. Why should he go sit in a…[Read more]

I appreciate this! When things get heated. . . it makes me feel blah. 🤣

Understandable. 😅 It always makes me feel bad too. Don’t worry about it.
I appreciate the verses as reference! Thank you for your perspective. It’s always interesting to read about. And it is good to hear other people’s personal stories.
This might feel like I’m…[Read more]

Yayy, he caught them both off guard

Moth

Ari and Ellis were almost smiling; that was easy to sense. Inwardly, Moth couldn’t help but glow. He kept a firm countenance.

He lifted his bow one last time. “If I make this, Ari must pay homage to my superior skills.”

Unfortunately for him, his arm’s strength gave out before he co…[Read more]

Regardless of actual age, you are the KP grandma

Hmmm.

@ellette-giselle

That was me for at least a year, maybe longer. Wyoh takes on different forms for each of us.

@writingwren

Helloooo! You’ve already gotten so many intros that I don’t want to keep you.

I’m Whaley. I write retro science-fiction/fantasy. I’m the kind of writer who spends hours frantically scribbling world details and evil plot plans on a giant whiteboard. As some people can tell you, I frequently go overboard and frequently create…[Read more]

WhEn DiD EvErY OnE GrOw Up!!!!???

I think most of us OGs are college-age right now. Ducktator is just a bit younger. My 20th birthday is about to hit me and Loopy is like, ancient.

Moth is right. They are both kind. Trivial things have insurmountable value.

Indeed. Such things can be very meaningful to someone else, even if no one else knows it.

@loopylin

You didn’t answer my question

I love you and will always be happy to support and pray with you as my friend.

That is very sweet of you to say, Elishavet. I also love you. I appreciate this and I am always willing to do the same for you. <3

Also totally willing to answer questions to the best of my ability.

I will keep that in mind. And thank you for your…[Read more]

Ari

Kind? Moth thought he was kind? The fairy king really hadn’t been around many people.

Still, his face softened, eyes bright, as he slid his last arrow into his quiver. No one had ever called him kind.

His full quiver bounced against his hip as he walked back. He glanced at Ellis, then picked up his own bow. So…[Read more]

Moth

“I cannot believe I have people to talk to. It is odd to say, but I am not accustomed to this — this spoiled lifestyle. Being with people — doing things, having small conversation — to everyone else this is normal, but for me… Perhaps it sounds silly, but these trivial things are rare to me. Thank you both for asking my…[Read more]

HA don’t expect anything too silly

@loopylin

O.O

Did they disappear?

Ari says yes. I don’t know what to RP for him saying that though.

Moth

Moth looked from Ellis to Ari, and set down his bow as well. “May I say something that is a little embarrassing for me?”

Hey! Quick question, since you’re talking about the Holy Spirit!

I’ve had friends and acquaintances who say that you have to experience Holy Spirit through a sign like speaking in tongues, and if you don’t, you aren’t saved. There’s also the alternate belief that you can be saved without the Spirit, but the ideal place in…[Read more]

My mother was, though

Is she dead?

@ellette-giselle

Ah, yes, me when writing last night

Ari

His eyebrow rose, but he made no other response. The statement didn’t seem to require one.

He hadn’t meant to give advice, only observe. Warn maybe. Why did you even open your mouth, Verenion?

No matter. He reached for his quiver.

It was empty. Perfect.

With a muttered, “don’t shoot me yet,” he set down his bow…[Read more]

*panicking because I haven’t actually decided what exactly Ellis is*

*Pained laughter because this is too relatable*

Ari

The boy’s mother? That was more human then, more than Ari’s blood.

No, the Elder are only cursed.

“Your brother?” He shook his head. “I’ve seen you around. Saw him when you first came in…[Read more]

Pardon me bringing this back, lol. It just struck me suddenly today without me thinking about it. Jim wasn’t a Christian when he died, I don’t think. Right?

Poor Ellis.

Ari

He spared the boy a glance, then reached up and tucked back the hair that covered his pointed ears.

“Not likely.”

The doctor here at the school had tried to sort him into some nice category or other when he’d first arrived. Ari shot off another arrow. It had been a year since he’d since he’d seen the…[Read more]

Moth

”I suppose it would not harm you to worry a little,” Moth told Ellis. “Not much.”

Flashbacks are useful literary devices. They can drop hints of mystery, clues to the story, or explain secrets.

Just have a good idea of how you’re using them in the book before you dive in. I don’t know how many times I’ve started writing something only to realize half-way through that it didn’t fit with the story. So, are…[Read more]

Me neither. =|

Ari

Fairy land? A strange turn of phrase, as if there was a definite destination, as if world’s didn’t simply overlap. Moons and wind and monstrous slimy creatures came to mind. His lips twitched.

In a placid voice he he addressed the arrow head in his hand.

“I don’t suppose fairies are so particular about who bakes the…[Read more]

If someone made him food, he’d invite them in and might try for a hug. ;] Emphasis on might. He doesn’t know if anyone would accept his hugs.

@ellette-giselle

You’re fine! I’ll see if Jasper wants to do something. I think he would stay quiet at this point and let someone else speak if they wish. But maybe I can come up with…[Read more]

Moth

It seemed best to take note of when Ari grew dark. Once again, he did not care to say much about himself, but some of his short, clipped exclamations did not seem to come from a place of peace. Passion — and something like anguish — shone out of him in short bursts, like sunlight half blocked by a hand.

Moth would und…[Read more]

Ellis is completely missing the point of Ari’s question. I apologize

No need. Ellis understood the assignment perfectly.

Ari

Ellis’s shot went wide. Ari waiting for him to start knock and draw again, then gently nudged his arm into a better position.

“Look down the shaft at the target. That will help.” He watched as E…[Read more]

*uninteligable screaming*

Careful, that’s bad for your throat. XD

I have a London Fog too! Probably going to wear it a ton this winter. Gotta ward off the anemia chills.

thanks for being the polite one and giving the RPs.

*Tips hat* No problem. It’s ma job.

@ellette-giselle

Well, based on those rps, Wolf can do something now if he wants to! Or Wilhelm and Jasper can continue interacting. Do you have a preference?

instead of try to scroll through a million RPs. 🤣

Luckily I have that google doc,…[Read more]

Ah, my poor little boy. Don’t worry child, you’ll be fine.

Ari

“No.” The word lept from him in a breath. His gaze went wide. Hands gripped, knuckles white.

“No. Never. It wouldn’t do any good. We will…go…just the same.”

Death. The void, as Father says. So unnatural. And if the Scroll is to be believed…

The silver…[Read more]
