whaley the great and terrible

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]

@liberty

sounds good! I’ll do what I can before I leave out of town

@jonas

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]

@loopylin

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]

@keilah-h

cool!

@whalekeeper

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]

@keilah-h

huh, interesting. It loaded with actual hunger games cast. How do I change it?

@whalekeeper

Ari… Are you ok?

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

Ari

Collecting stories. He followed Moth’s gaze up to the hole in the roof. Here he was, sitting on another boy’s floor, talking about stories like they were something you could gather up in a box.

Maybe they were. Maybe you could.

“I suppose I wouldn’t mind. H…[Read more]

Ahhhhh it atenmy reply.

@whalekeeper

Ari

Adventures…in his world those usually included being tied up or locked in a closet. Or that’s what his brother’s called it. He had a feeling that wasn’t the type Moth was thinking about.

He licked the honey off his fingers, considering. Not much light filtered through the small square in the roof. Not…[Read more]

@keilah-h

*blink*

I don’t know what I just read but now I want to try it. Do you have the link!?

@liberty

I’d do more if you did the whole league! I can’t wait to see Wolf and Reinhard in a scene as horses. XD

Righto! Do you want me to draw him to look just like this face-claim? (I was asking because the face-claim itself is an art style)

“Oh, right. You visitors never remember your journey through the outer mists. Oh, well, so much for polite chatter. Come along, then. There’s things I must show you.” He turned and walked a…[Read more]

Ellis

“Oh, that’s a bit difficult to answer.” Ellis leaned back and looked up at the sky as he thought. When he finally spoke again, his voice was distant, lost in the memory of a dream. “I remember… flying. Or falling; I couldn’t tell. A wall of stone bricks was about a foot away from my face, speeding past in a grey blur. I…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Ari

This fairie King liked asking questions.

“Well, I…” He paused. What was left? His half-brothers were good at everything that mattered–warriors, diplomats, judges– “Haven’t really thought about it. What do you like to do?”

@whalekeeper

Ari

Breaf and honey. His mouth curved up despite himself. He took the food.

“I don’t think so, or at least…”

At least, not compared to the legends of his dead cousins.

“… Not yet.”

His fingers burned at the remembered thrum of wood, sinew, and feather singing from shot and shot. He shoved a bite of bread into his mouth to…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

“Depends on how you define friends. There’s a fellow in archery that doesn’t seem to mind practicing with me.”

“People usually don’t stick around after our first meeting.” Although, he didn’t typically end up sitting on a student’s bedroom floor talking about family and friends. He studied the dust swirling around them.

How did he get here?

@elishavet-pidyon

Wolfgang 

H grinned. “Good, I’m glad.” He let out a long breath. “I’m so thirsty! I could drink a river!”

@ellette-giselle Good. =D

@whalekeeper

Ari

His mother? He sat down and folded his arms across his drawn up knees.

This boy didn’t know about his family. His chin came up a fraction. There would be no misinformation or preconceived motions to combat.

“She’s a beautiful woman. Gracious, gentle hearted, a true queen. She’s a noblewoman by birth…[Read more]

Wolfgang 

“I should say the same of your style. As for holding the House of Kemp in honor, I’d have done that from the moment we became friends. We are friends, aren’t we?” he added, looking anxiously at the boy.

@elishavet-pidyon

Wolfgang 

“I believe traditionally now would be the moment when you slash my throat for being such a dunce as to let you take my sword like that.” He laughed again. “But yes, I’ll parley if you like, and I’ll do it sitting down. I’m done in.” He threw himself on the floor as he said it, wiping his face with his sleeve.…[Read more]
