Once upon a time...

There was an ordinary young Mudbray named Clyde, who wished for adventure. Little did he know, he was destined for something beyond even his wildest dreams... { -- Pokemon ask/rp blog -- Asks: 3 (open) -- Event: Origin -- } Kofi: https://ko-fi.com/nerdybirdy Mod Blog is here!

[clydes-tale]

Clydes-Tale is a Pokemon askblog about a young Mudbray named Clyde in the Kelroch region. There will be a lot of mythology, fantasy, and adventure! It is OC-centric and based loosely on a lot of Celtic lore.

Notes:

PG-13: may have swearing, and other dark themes later. Will be tagged "tw ____"

This blog is LGBTQ+ friendly

Clyde and other characters are minors

I'm taking elements from multiple cultures and trying to reimagine them into something new, but let me know if I do anything offensive!

Quick Rules:

No Godmodding. Things are happening this way for a reason

No hi/hey asks! Please give me something more to work with

No pets/hugs asks. Please don't touch others w/o permission.

No NSFW/Fetish asks. No.

Magic!Anons are usually not allowed unless I say different.

Lucifer might be making a mistake, but he decided to open his mouth to the Rapidash, not too afraid, "Protecting that child by attacking those who have no intention to harm him won't teach the child anything but violence. If you think that it's the right thing to do, you need to take the moment and think again. I understand our kind is scary, but we mean no harm. You attacking us only gives us a reason to fight back, use your brain and not your horn more often.", the Darkrai wasn't too fond of the horse and its actions, but he truly did feel sympathy. After all, Clyde isn't the only one who lost a family member. The elder meant no harm.

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING CONTENT CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING TRIGGERS:

DEATH, GORE, BRIGHT TEXT.

PROCEED WITH CAUTION.

Something is wrong.

The air grew thick with a sinister aura. As Lucifer began to black out, he could feel the world around him grow dull - but a voice that sounded all too familiar echoed throughout his head reminded him that he was not truly alone.

It all happened so fast. The attack, the change of attitude, the initial strike. It was all a blur to the Darkrai. He didn't remember losing consciousness, and he didn't remember a third person being there in the first place. It was just him and the Rapidash. Whoever the third person was, he had malicious intent, and it showed.

Lucifer had no control after all. Once his mind went dark, his body was taken over by something entirely different. Was it this other third person? He couldn't tell. The loss of blood was no help, and even if he was awake, nothing could have been done to stop what was about to happen next.

Claws out, teeth bared, aura blackened, the nightmaren held nothing back, and attacked.

If the Darkrai could have held back, he would have done so. But it was too late. The attack went through, and the Rapidash went limp. That was it.

He would care; he WOULD mourn. But he won't. Not yet. He's too far gone now. For now, he will leave these woods and try to rest. Try to snap himself awake, when he has the chance.

Until then, that was another death by his hands. And there was nothing he could do to change it.

[The ask box is officially closed for all characters until Chapter 3]

Just A PSA

I probably don't need to say this, but JUST in case:

The discrimination against Dark pokemon was chosen PURELY because they already have a bad/evil reputation, and because they worked as a good foil against Fairy pokemon.

It is in NO way related to people of color, and I am doing my best to keep that perfectly clear. If at any point, I do say/write/draw something that is offensive, please DM me so I can correct it.

Just like in Crewel-Intentions, while there might be themes of racism, sexism, etc, that in no way reflects my own views and I want to try to keep my stories enjoyable for everyone.

Thank you!

You know Cinead, Paranoia is a very interesting thing: You think it makes you less prone to the very thing you hate, and perhaps it does, but the narrowed vision only makes you vulnerable to the various threats that AREN'T them, and those are still very plenty... and they aren't all from the forest.

Cinead:  All you nosy lil trespassers think you know better than I.  I ain’t stupid.  I know better’n anyone just how dangerous this world can be.  An’ yet I’ve kept my herd safe for more seasons than I can count.

Cinead:  Now. Get. Lost.  The next kick won’t be so soft.

[Cinead is no longer answering questions]

[clydes-tale]

Cinead: Now scram.  Yer distractin’ me.

( @asktheovertaken​ @thealolanpokenerd​ )

[clydes-tale]

(ask-teamlightbringers) Gabriel @ Cinead: Are the fairies of this world really so cruel? Have you met one? Spoken with one? Reasoned with them? Pardon my harshness, but this sounds all like rumors and well... fairytales to me.

Cinead:  Now get outta my sight.  I won’t miss this time.

{  @ask-teamlightbringers  }

[clydes-tale]

Scarlett @ Cinead: she approaches the large horse Pokemon a little nervously. "Lost ...? Do you mean? You don't mean someone d ... erm. These woods. Have they always been like this? You don't think there's some evil creature lurking in there making the other Pokemon act, do you? Maybe?"

[clydes-tale]

Meanwhile...

Cinead: The Fairies are the worst ones.  They’ll trick ya just as soon as look at ya. Before ya know what happ’n’d, yer lost forever in the woods or yer bound to em.  I lost one to those woods already, ‘n I’ll be DAMNED if it happens again!

Teiji: Cinead.

Teiji: I was separated from my family when I was small because I went into a place I was not supposed to. Believe me when I say I know how you feel.

However, I do not think being harsh on Clyde is going to help him, please understand, Cinead.

(neverlandfaerai) Pan: Sheesh, what a mean grownup - sure glad I don't have one. Tell me about that forest! Got something fun to do over there? Know someone? If I can find it, maybe I'll bring you back a souvenir~

Seeing Cinead distracted, the young Mudbray started sneaking closer to the forest.  He looked up as he heard someone speak close by.

Clyde: But I ain’t afraid! They can’t be all bad. They prob'ly just never had someone be nice to ‘em. I know I’d be grumpy if everyone kept callin’ me names 'n running off!

Clyde: Yer welcome to come with me if ya want! Be a lot more fun with a pal now.

Pan starts floating backwards into the forest entrance, before spinning around to face the intended direction. As he speaks, he looks about the trees, only relying on the sound of Clyde’s hooves and voice for conversation.

“We’re gonna look for the Tree of Life right? Why’s it called that?”

[clydes-tale]

Clyde follows after his new floating friend, using the whispy white of his tail as a guide in the darkening forest.  He didn’t seem frightened or fazed in the slightest about entering the murky woods.

“It’s the Tree of Life ‘cuz it’s s’posed to be the oldest tree in the whole world!  Me Ma said that Cernunnos was born from it!  They stepped out from a split in the trunk ‘n the branches b’came their antlers! They the one that gave all Fairies their power, n’ they can heal anyone!”

“I dunno how it works exactly, but me Ma said you can make a wish at the Tree ‘n it’ll come true!  So I wan’ find it!”

(ask-indeedee) "Lots of spooks you say?" Levy overhears Clyde. "What exactly has been happening around here? Do stay safe."
