Ellis

Ellis’ brow furrowed. “Chemistry, I believe.”

He was mildly surprised by Ari caving, but he didn’t show it.

“I am not sure where the classroom is, though.”

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?”

No problem with little skirmishes.

Yeahh conflict is fun. That’s why I pointed it out :]

Those cats. Gracious.

They kinda fit too. XD

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]

Ellis

Ellis began putting away his gear as he listened to the other two.

“What is the point of an academy, then?” he asked Ari. “Did you come here unwillingly?”

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]

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]

This might be generic advice, but my best tip is to check multiple thrift stores and get familiar with what treasures each store usually holds. There’s the place with good rings, another with nice clothes, another with all the old music boxes… And get familiar with how quickly each store is raided and when they get new stuff in. You…

Ellis

Ellis started at the mention of learning. Right. This was a school. He looked up at the large clock above the gym entrance.

“There is a science class on my schedule that starts soon. I hadn’t decided yet if I was going to attend.”

What are your thoughts on how someone is saved? I’d like to hear your view. 🙂 (From your comment, I infer that you, like me, would say that being filled with Spirit is a necessity.)

To be clear, I’m just curious to know what y’all think and I have no intention of getting heated

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

I will try my best with what little brains I have to expound upon the huge wonderful topic of the Holy Spirit.

First I want to touch on what’s not being filled wit…[Read more]

Ducktator is just a bit younger.

It’s so weird being one of the young people.  Most of my friends are 1-3 years younger than me. XD

Ellis

Ellis was caught off guard. He watched the side of Moth’s face as he fiddled with his bow.

“… You’re welcome, I suppose.” He wasn’t trying to be particularly kind, but he had had fun hanging around with Moth that morning. A smile threatened to tug at his mouth.

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]

Awwwwwwwwww.

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

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

Ellis

“If you would like to.”

@loopylin @koshka

“May I say something that is a little embarrassing for me?”

Yes.

I rarely enter these conversations, although it’s not because I don’t have thoughts to share. XD But I saw your post and thought I might have something to add.

As someone who does believe that speaking in tongues is the innitial sign of new birth by the Spirit, I still do not want to discount the experience you have with God. I…[Read more]

I don’t listen to much Christian music (outside of a couple things) because I haven’t seen much stylistic range.

Nice to know I’m not the only one. 😅

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]

Ellis

Ellis went very still. He looked away for a moment at the other archers with a blank look on his face.
“You’re quick to give advice.”

*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]

Poor Ellis.

He’s just bein sensitiveee

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

Ellis

One of Ellis’ own pointed ears twitched slightly. He fumbled with an arrow on his bowstring. “We’re not. My mother was, though,” he said, glancing at Ari. “You’ve met Lucian?”

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 deserves angel food cake at his door. He specifically requests it. XD

Agreed. He deserves all the treats.

@koshka @whalekeeper

Ellis

Moth was probably teasing, Ellis was sure, but it still felt uncomfortable. His smile was slightly less bright than before. “Maybe we will all go to the kitchens and get cake together…[Read more]

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]

for sure!

uh, maybe they can keep talking…. or talk to Wolf.

I am so brain dead.

Ellis

Ellis laughed and lowered his bow. He had nearly forgotten who he was with.  “You don’t want to try my baking. And I have no need to fear you stealing all my left shoes while I’m sleeping or luring me away to fairy land.” His smile faded a little and he blinked a couple times at Moth. “…Do I?”

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]

i dunno who’s turn it is. my brain is in a lot of other places right now for perfectly good reasons, so I logically decided to blame someone instead of try to scroll through a million RPs. 🤣

Ellis

“Some of my people offer small cakes or fresh cream to the fey or other spirits. Usually more as a token of friendship than anything.” Ellis drew his bow again, taking into account the things Ari had pointed out. The shot went too far right, missing the target entirely. He grimaced.

thanks for being the polite one and giving the RPs. I was too amused at the moment to be responsible.

@koshka

*uninteligable screaming*

Ari’s response hath chilled me bones….

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]

Ari

His body tensed with confused alarm at Moth’s comment.

“Archery is more by instinct than anything else. You focus on a specific point you want to hit, and then line up the arrow with that point.” He absently knocked and drew as he spoke. It whipped home as he glanced back at Moth, then at Ellis. “What is…[Read more]

More comfortable than jeans and look so neat and stylish. Just that and a sweater, and you’re set.

True words. I would love one day, when I have an actual job, to wear outfits with vintage elegance that slacks naturally have. Office chic lol

So Inglor is a monkey. 😀

Precisely.

That makes me think of the god-disguised-as-a-beggar, and I love the themes associated with that trope. Except in this case, you have a lot more variety going on. This is not just a message about judging a book by its cover – this is also about preconceived b…
