Gabriel climbed up the wall himself, but instead of looking to the southeast, his attention was raptured by something more south. “Flying creatures. Those won’t be fun to fight.” After watching them for a few seconds, he finally looked for the hill, barely making it out through the silver mist. “I see t…[Read more]

It had been less than an hour. After a few moments, she stirred. “I saw a bit.”

She got up and, without waiting for him to ask for more, went to the same wall from before. She climbed it again, much slower. The wind blew into her face as her head rose over the top, stinging her eyes and fluffing her short, downy hair.

I’m sorry, that’s so rough. I’m glad you have your family through this and your mom is able to get care even though it’s in a hospital.

Maybe try reading the Psalms? I’ve been enjoying them recently.

We love you too!

I’m sorry I took so long to reply

Gabriel Mai — The Protector

He wasn’t sure what to do, so he stayed where he was and listened to the wind. He caught strange scents in the invisible wisps, most he had never smelled before, a few he vaguely recognized, but couldn’t decide how. His gaze wandered to the trees, then he turned to Lucy, whispering softly in case she w…[Read more]

3 months isn’t too much compared with the breaks some people take. (Not that it’s wrong for them to be away so long; life is life.) We all have important things irl!

I believe you put new chapters in your project for some of that time, so you were still contributing in spirit. XD

Waking up and coming back to this, I think she’s never left home before so she’s a tad shell shocked

@rae

Hehehe somehow I never got this notification but I’m so glad we share that memory XDXD

and yes, the pronunciation also had me cracking up 😂😂😂😭 I’m so glad Wyoh’s mostly dormant, she’s less of a ravenous beast now lol

Guys I remember when my whole entire LIFE was on KP…and you’re telling me I went 3 MONTHS without hopping on here once??! Like that’s actually crazy…I’m sorry I kind of ditched all you guys XD I promise I haven’t forgotten about you guys and I do miss all the fun I’ve had on here!

Just letting you guys know I’m still alive haha

Thank you so much everyone <3

I love you guys a lot!! And for those of you who don’t know what to say, its totally understandable. Half the time I don’t know what to say, and I’m going through it XD

So please don’t feel like you have to say the right words. It’s enough to know that you guys care, and you’re praying.

Update–My mom is in the…[Read more]

“I kinda want to scream when I think about all that.” Lucy took a breath of the jacket, which still smelled good, although she didn’t know why. “I’ve got to… wait it out.”

It seemed like a good time to rest anyway. She didn’t need to sleep, but it couldn’t hurt to lay still.

Gabriel blinked. He had no idea what that was supposed to mean. When she hid her face, his eyes softened with concern, mask still around his neck. “Are you okay? Did I ask something wrong? Are you tired?”

@rae

Lucille

She thought for a while. “Um… It’s a big old building and courtyard by the depot. It’s got, er, lots of people. We’re the first stop along the grain route.”

When the young man looked at her, Lucy suddenly didn’t feel like talking about it. She took the jacket and lay over it on the stone, hiding her face.

@whalekeeper

Np!

That’s cool. Do you think it does that because your circulation changes?

No idea. My big brother has a birthmark that looks almost exactly the same on his neck, and it does similar weird things where it gets darker and lighter. Not sure if its for the same reason mine does, I’ll have to ask.

“Here. I lied.”

Pfff

@rae

Sorry, I had to do a bit of cleaning in the kitchen

Fun fact, I have a birthmark on my right hand that usually gets dark when my hands are cold or I’m irritated.

She nodded and took the last fruit. The smells were unfamiliar, and they set her on edge, but l…[Read more]

Gabriel Mai — The Protector

He looked back at her. “Really? I wish my people knew that.” He sighed, eyes dropping to the ground. After a few minutes, he looked up again. “Those weird fruits are surprisingly not bad. And the flowers, can you smell them? They’re so gentle.”

“That’s stupid. Birthmarks come from blood vessels or skin pigment. Even I know that, and I’m ten.”

@whalekeeper

The Protector — Gabriel Mai

“Uh…” Gabriel broke eye contact. “My country believes they’re demon marks.”

@rae

Lucille

Lucy frowned at being called illogical but didn’t say anything. “Why would I throw stones at you because of birthmarks?”
