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*

@liberty
I don’t think I can focus on another art swap right now, but I’m very curious to see some of your horse sketches.

@ellette-giselle

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)

@keilah-h

Thanks! I will tag you when I post a new chapter.

You will find out more about the gods eventually, but it’s not much of a spoiler to say that, yes, they are humans. The term “god” is more than just a title, but they’re not thought of as gods to the extent that the Greek gods were irl, for example.

What does each color do in your…

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

@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]

@Jonas

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]

Oh.

my.

Word.

what am i reading?

@whalekeeper

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]

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]

@koshka

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

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]

@whalekeeper

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

@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]

@whalekeeper

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?”
