krit kept pace with her, walking exactly parallel and stealing curious glances at her as she spoke. in a hundred years, people changed so little. fashion, yes. styles, infrastructure, newly paved roads worn down over time. but there was not a feeling felt in the world that hadn't been felt before. from the warm throes of love, to the mild (and maybe not so mild) annoyance at an over-friendly stranger. if there was anything krit found comforting (and this was a very big if), it was in the little characteristics of humans that persisted and survived. how many people had krit annoyed into accommodating him over the years?

he grinned every time.

"then i am even more grateful." she was helping him withoutu any expectation. "i'll do my best to not bother you too much on the way. how about something more useful, then: a fountain pen? fresh paper? a new laptop?" he asked with a twinkle in his eye, only half-joking.

"good name. perhaps a little tiring to live up to all the time. but perhaps also a good prophecy." oh, the power of a name. "ah. is it exam season? you must be drowning in work."

amityatelias

amity wished that she could point to the direction of the university and have him walk there on his own. she was not in the mood to talk to anyone and she was getting a bit of a bad feeling from this conversation. she would not give away too much information to this person. amity apparently really hated strangers, she didn't think it was that big of a problem. the second they got to the university, she was probably going to turn around and go to the library or something. maybe she'd text luz and see if she wanted to hang out or something, just the two of them.

"right, well..." she kept walking. "no, i like this pen and this notebook." it had all her notes in it. "and i don't need a new laptop. the one i have is perfectly fine." there was nothing wrong with it and amity did prefer analog instead of digital. "i don't need anything." she didn't want anything.

"is it? i've never had a problem with people reading too much into my name before." amity worked to make sure that she was perfectly friendly to people, but not overly friendly to them. "yes, but the work is fine. i like having tasks to work on." she missed hanging out with her friends. "i'd love a good break though."

📍 the entrance of hatchaway cemetery

it was the quiet hours of midnight when grim stood outside of the cemetary. it had become a habit of sorts since he arrived in elias. he never hovered around cemeteries before this, call him sentimental he didn't want to risk meeting any grieving family members or friends of the deceased.

but right now? he felt the pull to go here... maybe to atone for what he had been doing for hades.

the path was illuminated by the light from his scythe, which he set down for a moment to surveil the area. "alright," he warned sharply when he felt the presence of another. "step back from the scythe. it's not your property."

amityatelias

honestly, amity should have been more prepared for the spell she was working on. graveyard dirt was annoying to get because it was so simple to get. she should have paid attention to how low her stock was getting. she should have paid more attention to her stores of materials. amity had been busy lately. tomorrow she'd make sure she had everything she needed and maybe she'd do an inventory of everything she needed to get.

the witch thought she'd be alone in the cemetery this late at night, but she was surprised that she wasn't. the light from her spell illuminated an area of the cemetery that she was looking for. she picked a spot and grabbed some of the dirt. then she noticed the scythe and was curious. amity had seen the other, but she hadn't been curious until she saw the scythe.

"i'm not going to steal it." she wasn't even close to touching it. "i'm just collecting dirt for a spell."

king looked over at her from beneath the hood of his jacket, blinking slowly like the universe had personally unplugged him somewhere around hour forty-eight without sleep. for a second, "wow. okay. first of all? incredibly hurtful." he pointed at her with the coffee cup in accusation. "i would be an amazing dentist. terrifying. but memorable. people would leave my office changed forever...in a good way"

lightning rumbled again somewhere overhead, softer this time, and he narrowed his eyes at the sky like he was actively in a custody battle with whatever god had it for him.

"i dunno." his voice came quieter now, worn thin from too many nights spent talking to himself and pretending it counted as coping. "i thought i was gonna find something." his thumb rubbed absently against the paper cup. rain tapped softly against the hood pulled over his curls. he looked older somehow... not physically.. but just in the way exhaustion settled into people when hope kept surviving longer than it should. "i kept getting led to these places that looked important until i got there and realized it was just another dead end with weird vibes and probably tetanus...”

he shook his head quickly before pointing at her tea instead. "what is that? if you say lavender i’m walking directly back into the woods."

amityatelias

amity shrugged, knowing it wasn't great that she didn't think he'd be a good dentist, but honestly... she didn't think he would be. and she wasn't really known for sugar coating how she felt. "nobody's going to the dentist to be changed is the issue," she laughed, not being entirely serious with the conversation. "but i apologize. if that's your line of thinking then yeah, you'd make the best dentist in the world."

she'd been so focused on school lately, she barely had time for anything and while she did send texts to her friends to make sure they were doing okay, she really only wanted to make sure they well were okay. "maybe not finding something was better than finding something." maybe there was something to find here. "i can help, you know." research was something that she did better than most. amity didn't want to take over his quest though. she had friends she could ask about, but only if he wanted the help. she scrunched her nose. "maybe we can find something here. we'll find something here. i'll go to the library." because that was all she ever did.

she looked down at the tea in her hand, her painted black nails gripping the cup tighter than she meant to. "no, it's lady grey with honey." amity needed the energy. "i went on a date with luz, but i don't know if it was an actual date or if she only came because she wanted to hang out with me as a friend." she didn't really have anyone to talk to about this.

If you could kiss anyone in town, who would it be and why?

"Now, I'm not one to go around randomly kissing people, but I feel like this one is fairly obvious to anyone who talks to me for more than a few minutes. I think Luz is the greatest person I've ever met and I'd be lucky to get to kiss her."

WILLOW PARK AND AMITY BLIGHT MOODBOARD

You were never too weak to be my friend. I was too weak to be yours.

a moodboard for @vinemagic

#filed: willow.#filed: answered.#filed: development.

Amity's relationship with her mother has always been strained. Perfection has always been expected of her. How has Elias changed her view not only of the world around her but also of herself?

Elias hasn't changed much of her view of herself so far. She's learned that everywhere has problems and that she doesn't have to be the only one working to solve the problems. She's learned of other types of magic and other people with problems outside of the Boiling Isles. Amity has learned how strong her friends are in a different world and how much she has to learn about herself. Sometimes she feels like the least adjusted member of her friend group because all she has is her books and her research to keep her going. She's never been good with new people and new situations, so adjusting to a new place is difficult for her, she's now learning how difficult it can be. Amity stopped believing in perfection the second she stopped believing in her mother. She's learned how big the world is and how many people want to help other people. But I think to a degree she's also become more wary around new people. She doesn't know what other people want and if someone's out to use her. In a place that she doesn't understand like the back of her hand, Amity sees the danger of trusting everyone she comes across.

😶‍🌫️ FACE IN CLOUDS — is there something you're hiding from the people you love? if so, how urgent is it for them to hear it? what's holding you back from sharing it?

"I'm hiding my feelings for Luz from everyone, but I think everyone basically knows how I feel. I don't know why I can't say it out loud. It's the least urgent thing I could tell everyone. I think just... the chance of rejection is holding me back."

❤️‍🩹 MENDING HEART — how strongly do you experience your emotions? does it depend on who you're interacting with and/or the context of the situation?

"I think I'm pretty level-headed and in control of my emotions. Sometimes I struggle with the negative emotions, like sadness and fear of rejection though which is why I tend to do everything I can to avoid those emotions. And I think any situations where my friends are involved I get kind of scared of them getting hurt. But I think for the most part I'm a decent at keeping my emotions in check during something."

you wake up and everything you’ve ever wanted has come true. what does that look like, and how soon do you realize you didn’t actually want it?

“I think it would just be a place where my friends are safe and maybe where Luz and I are dating. I’m not sure that’s a bad thing. I’m not sure I wouldn’t want that. My dreams aren’t very selfish right now and maybe that's okay? I think the future that I want is probably reachable.”

cas hummed softly at that, the corner of his mouth pulling upward like her intensity amused him more than it intimidated him. honestly, it probably did. he leaned back just enough to look relaxed while still giving her his full attention, eyes glinting with something playful. “intense isn’t a bad thing,” he said smoothly. “usually just means someone’s smart enough not to waste time pretending otherwise.”

his gaze flicked over her for a brief second before settling again, steady and warm in a way that felt dangerously intentional. when she mentioned being top of her class, his brows lifted slightly, impressed but not surprised. “oh, i don’t doubt that for a second.” his voice dipped lower then, teasing at the edges. “you’ve got that look about you. like you correct people in your head before they even finish speaking.”

a quiet laugh left him before he tilted his head. “as for what you’re supposed to know?” cas stepped a little closer, not enough to crowd her. just enough to make the air feel different. “if you're such a good witch. why don't you tell me?"

amityatelias

amity had never cared if she was too much for people because she had her friends. she didn't need other people to like her and didn't care if she came off as unfriendly to people that she didn't trust. she squinted her eyes. "i never said it was a bad thing." she crossed her arms over her chest and stared at him, unblinking for a moment. "which means i'm smart enough to know when to stay away from someone." that hadn't worked when she was younger, but still.

did she do that? sometimes. it depended on who she was talking to. for the most part amity tried to give people the benefit of the doubt and listen to what they had to say, but she was a bit judgemental. she didn't care. it kept her safe. and was she was pretty good about figuring out who to trust and who not to trust. "maybe i do. that's not a bad thing. i'm smart enough to know i'm probably only the second smartest person in the room." the witch looked around at all the people around them.

"i don't know anything. that's why i'm studying."

Luz's life had changed drastically in the last couple of years. Well, since her father's passing, her life shifted. The final gift he had given her had been an escape from the real world. Her eccentricities made it hard for her to make friends her own age. She was criticized for being weird. Her efforts to make friends in Gravesfield all ended in failure. So when she landed on the Boiling Isles, she never imagined she would find friendship. She started out as a wide-eyed tourist who couldn't believe she landed in the very books she adored, and is now becoming more than she ever imagined.

For the first time in her life, she had friends. Her relationship with Amity had taken many twists and turns. When they first met, Luz thought she was just another bully like the ones she dealt with at home, but the more they interacted, the more she realized there was more to Amity. Over time, they became friends, and Luz would always be grateful for that. However, as of late her feelings tiptoed something more. Amity was brilliant. The admiration she had for her was limitless. She was so cool, and Luz couldn't imagine someone like Amity ever giving her the time of day.

She was sure her hands were sweating too, which she hoped Amity didn't notice. But what if she did? And what if she thought Luz was gross for it? Oh, she was spiraling now. "Different?" She asked, her heart rate now spiked. In her life, different had always meant bad. The expression on Amity's face didn't indicate anything bad, so she relaxed a bit.

Luz listened to Amity's words. Each one of them made her stomach knot up more. She felt like a tightly wound guitar string ready to burst. She was sure the night couldn't conceal the blush that painted her cheeks. "You're the best person in my life, too, Amity." Her voice was soft, laced with affection she didn't dare to hide. "Everything has been so crazy lately, and I'm happy that I have you by my side to brave it all. There's no one else I'd rather spend tonight with."

amityatelias

for as much as amity complained about luz showing up in her life at first, she was glad for it now. before she was dragged into the chaos that eda and luz always seemed to have, she was the perfect daughter. she'd have willingly followed her mother's traitorist plans. instead she'd gained a lifelong friendship with a lot of people and fixed a relationship with a friend that she thought she'd messed up for life. amity's life was richer now than it ever had been.

she was glad they were hanging out alone even if amity didn't know if they were on a date or what. of course she probably could ask if it was a date, but then she'd be heartbroken if the answer was no. instead she would continue to be a coward. amity liked the weird dance they were in anyway. it felt like a challenge to try and anticipate how luz felt and if she was doing a good job at trying ti figure out.

whenever the witch was nervous, she wasn't very good at talking to people. luz made her nervous even though they'd been friends for so long. "in a good way," she started, blushing. "sorry." amity was even more nervous now that she was talking to her crush. she'd never really had time for crushes and she really didn't have time for one now, especially if it made her say stuid stuff.

sometimes amity felt like the odd one out in their group. luz went between all of them so easily and amity still struggled to form conversations with everyone or hang out one on one unless she had some sort of reason to be around them. it was something she was working through, but it didn't help that she still felt guilty over everything her mother had done to them. "i'll always be here for you."

it had been 3 months since he had left elias, all thanks to a dream and an annoying pull. in hindsight, he should have taken that as a red flag, but him being who he is...that was not the case. normal people ignored ominous prophetic visions, maybe even told a trusted adult or friend, but normal people did not wake up at three in the morning, stare dramatically out a rain-covered window, and decide, you know what? maybe i should follow the horrifying celestial omen into the wilderness. unfortunately, king had never once been accused of being normal. he didn’t even know what “normal was”

so he left.

for three straight months, he chased the possibility of another titan across dead coastlines, abandoned towns, forests that hummed too loudly at night, and at least one cave that absolutely contained ghosts… or bats…could be both. he slept in places that probably violated several health codes and survived almost entirely on gas station coffee and spite, and so he kept following the voice in this dream that kept insisting he was close.

spoiler alert: he was not close...at all.

there had been no hidden titan waiting for him at the end of the journey. no long-lost family reunion. no ancient revelation. just some weird symbols carved into walls, increasingly threatening nightmares, and one old fisherman who threw a shoe at him after he accidentally might have sleepwalked onto his boat..rude.

by the time he stumbled back into elias sometime past midnight, exhausted and damp and carrying a backpack full of useless notes that now felt personally offensive, he had reached one very important conclusion: the universe was a comedian…and very very mean.rain drizzled lazily over the city as he stood outside a twenty-four hour convenience store looking like every cryptid warning poster rolled into one. curls now, flattened beneath his hood, boots caked in mud, and there was a concerning amount of glittering dust still clinging to one sleeve from an incident he had decided not to unpack emotionally. the automatic doors slid open behind him as he walked out.

“just so we’re clear,” he informed the universe with one fist lifted up towards the sky, “if i ever get more prophetic dream, i’m becoming a dentist.” lightning cracked somewhere in the distance, causing him to almost drop the coffee he was holding “heyyy! don’t you dare start with me.”

amityatelias

the last three months seemed to go by in a blur. school took up so much of her time that she didn't notice how much she hadn't seen her friends. sure, she made as much time as she could for luz and sometimes willow, but she didn't talk to many other people outside her friend group or hang out with them as often as she had before the end of the semester. it came out of nowhere, the sheer amount of work that she had to do, papers and final projects piling up left and right. next semester she vowed to take less classes, but she knew she wouldn't. amity liked a challenge after all.

it wasn't to say that she barely noticed that he'd left, but that she was far too occupied with her own life. of course she did her best to reach out and make sure that everything was okay, but the witch had too much on her plate. she was waiting for some new sort of trouble to show up in this town. the few months of nothingness seemed too easy. maybe someone would say that she was too pessimist, but she was never the optimist in the equation.

"i can't see you as a dentist, unless you specialize in pulling teeth and not letting the patient take them home." Honestly, teeth were useful to have around. "i'm glad you're back." she took a sip of her tea. "you doing okay?"

he saw where her hand stayed, as if on guard, or perhaps just looking for something in her bag. a helpful map? a taser? but at her offer, his expression softened and he put a hand on his chest with a relieved sigh. "oh, you have no idea how much you just saved my life. i'm incredibly grateful." his handsome smile widened. "let me buy you a coffee or some other sort of treat along the way. least i could do."

krit took a step up the path, tilting his head while looking at her as if to ask: this way, right?

"i'm krit, by the way. i saw you were taking notes…" he mimed scribbling in the air, "were you working on something here?"

amityatelias

amity's trust in strangers was... slowly becoming less and less frequent. she tended to keep to her people because she knew that she was better around them instead of people she didn't know. there were so many terrible people in elias and she didn't know how she was supposed to talk to someone new when all she thought was how they might betray her. "alright." she closed her eyes to hide how she wanted to roll her eyes. "glad i can help." she wasn't, not really. "i don't need coffee or a treat. i should really be getting back to study." and she had her own ways for staying up late to study.

the witch felt her feet move distinctly in the direction of the college.

"i'm amity." she knew she wasn't the most friendly person that he could run into, but at least she wasn't easy to take advantage of. "not really, just something i do when i'm stressed."

casimirdraven

casimir lifted both hands in mock surrender, though the smile curling at his mouth never faltered. “relax, if i wanted something from you, you’d know.” his gaze flicked briefly over the items she’d been studying before settling back on her narrowed eyes with quiet amusement. “and for someone not searching for anything, you were looking awfully hard.”

he leaned lightly against the stall, easy and unbothered. “besides, anyone smart enough to keep their guard up down here usually has the best instincts in the room. i was just curious if you knew it yet.”

amityatelias

she kept her eyes narrowed. amity didn't trust that. she never trusted when someone said something like that. i can be trusted usually meant trouble. she'd trusted her mom when she'd said that and amity had been burned by that. sometimes she didn't even trust it when eda said it. maybe she was just someone who didn't trust very many people. there wasn't much wrong with that though. "i've been told i'm intense," she shrugged. there was still a wall up but she was at least entertaining a conversation.

"well, i was one of the top witches in my class, so i'd say that i'm pretty smart." amity wasn't as big of a bragger anymore, though there were some situations that called for it, especially around people who might underestimate her. "what exactly am i supposed to know?"

mismatched eyes still narrowed, the distrust evident in them, the longer leo stared down the potions. the slider knew firsthand just how dangerous the underland could be. while on the surface it was labeled a safe haven for misfits, underneath, something far more sinister was brewing. it was a dog-eat-dog world. everyone clamored to appease hades. if you weren't on his good side, you didn't get very far. leo had managed to survive as one of hopper's fighters but he knew eventually his good luck was bound to run out. "maybe?" he asked, his voice pitched up, and brows furrowed.

mysticism was different than magic. leo knew that much. there was still so much to learn about his mystical abilities. mikey somehow was the prodigy among the four of them. elias was a melting pot of different backgrounds, species, and abilities. it was hard for leo to feel like he didn't belong in the middle of all the chaos, but somehow he still felt like an outlier. he and donnie were once again one of one. well, four of four if he was being technical. "if it gives me night vision i'm half convinced that somehow i'll be turned into a bat by the end of the night if i don't read the fine print." he huffed. "whoa, whoa, whoa drink it? what do you- wait you can reverse engineer it?" his interest was clearly piqued. "you know magic?"

amityatelias

amity didn't know much about the underland, but there were places that were dangerous in the boiling isles too. she was used to being overly cautious rather than regret making a decision later. even if she and her friends were a force to be reckoned with, amity knew that causing problems was... well something to avoid as much as possible. "i don't know. i'm curious. i mean..." she stopped staring at the potion to look at the person she was talking to. "i'm curious about the magic." amity knew that most magic was different. the magic in elias wasn't the same she learned at home, even if her magic worked here.

the witch had loved order before luz came into her life and then chaos was normal. she thought a place like this was probably at least a little similar to the markets back home as far as chaos was concerned. "i probably wouldn't drink it if i did buy it," she pointed out. there was no was of knowing if she could actually succeed in figuring out what it did. "huh? yeah. i'm a witch. i can do magic."
