Oh, well… there went his escape plan. Snuffed out before he even left the house. Apparently, his time time trapped in the coin had dulled his stealth skills, as much as he hated to even think about that. The mere thought of him not being at one-hundred percent and the possibility of him having to relearn his skills heavily nagged at the back of his head. That his reputation as one of the best was wavering. Then again… he had been stuck in a coin which was quite cramped and lost right arm as a result of the binding growing too tight. Recovery was a vital part in rebuilding his abilities, after all.

He retracted his hand that was reaching for the bowblade on the wall with a sigh, looking away slightly, almost shameful. If there was anyone he’d willingly allow to care for him without any objection, it was Ethari.

“I know…” he muttered, his shoulders drooping in defeat. If anything, he despised just how weak this whole ordeal made him feel. It was no fault of Ethari’s, he’d never say that. It’d been a disastrous ripple effect.

         Perhaps it was a bit too stern a way to have addressed him. But then again, he couldn’t just take it easy simply because they were married. Because he loved him. Rather, more because of it. It had been a blessing to have Runaan return to him. Missing an arm now sure, but it hadn’t changed his view of him, not in the slightest. He had been strong, strong enough to last whatever nightmares being held captive by such a vicious human, consumed by darkness, could conjure. He was proud of him for making it home, even through mourning the loss of their friends. Him and Rayla, he had been blessed enough for them both to return to him.

        But through that blessing, he knew it wasn’t over. The mission had been concluded, but recovery and the aftermath were still important. Whatever he had faced, it would impact him. Dark magic was all that dangerous, twisted, he feared the worst could have happened to his beloved. Which was what he wanted to be sure of before he could let his husband train so rigorously again, sharpen the skill he worried had dampened in his captivity. Worried he still hadn't fully reovered from the ordeal and his journey here.

        “I can understand you wish to make sure your skills remain sharp,” Ethari murmured. Knowing that he relaxed himself through the discipline of training, where his husband felt most at ease save his side-- He tentatively reached out to link his fingers into his. “And I’m sorry. I…I know you must be feeling hopeless, being so restricted, I know you hate that…”

         He took a deep breath.

         “Come now. You don’t have to sleep, but just...I can stay with you. I can listen, anything you need of me. I want to help you, in any way I can.” He was no healer, but support was all he could offer, all he ever did.

…oh, fine, you win. :) Here Runaan’s third model, “imprisoned” version. 

Another small caveat: I couldn’t find the “final” version of this model, where he is correctly missing one binding. So just pretend the model matches his design on the top left!

This has to be one of the most gorgeous lyric videos I’ve ever watched :) - Sam

Was it late? Yes. Did Runaan particularly care? No. It was rather common for Moonshadow elves to be active at night. What he honestly should’ve expected, however, was Ethari seeking him out. It was a frequent enough occurrence. He never wandered too far away in the forest, usually just outside of the village, eyes fixated on the starry sky. Moonlight essentially covered him as he sat on the ground cross-legged, hair falling freely down his back. It was always a relaxing experience, despite Ethari gently telling him about the lack of sleep each time. That exact thing was happening right now, much to his amusement.

A smile was quick to form as he looked up over his shoulder. “Can’t the leader of the assassins have time to relax before his mission?” There was humor in his voice as he stood up and faced him. It was always shocking to new assassins how drastically Runaan’s demeanor changed around Ethari; going from no-nonsense and stoic to one-hundred percent softened and love-struck. “I could say the same to you, my love. Whenever I have to leave and regardless of how far away I go, you’re always in my heart and are my driving force. No matter how treacherous things may get,” he said as he stepped closer and stopped in front of him. With the same loving smile, he reached over and took both of Ethari’s hands into his.

“Yes, I know. But I’ll be fine. I’ve been on several missions before this one. Of course, it’s more high-stakes than previous ones. But we’ll get it done and I’ll be back with you. That I’m certain of.”

          There was a certain pride and fondness with which Ethari held in mind that he was one of very few that were able to see such a side to the stoic assassin. The steady facade he carried himself with was always a sight he had welcomed, wholly, with all his heart. In seeing the face that could be as cold as winter’s moonlight turn warm as a summer night, he felt himself fall in love all over again.

         “I have no shortage of faith that you will,” Ethari let himself say. He brought his beloved’s hands to his lips, pressing kisses to his knuckles. He would be at his strongest on the night of the impending mission, blooming with even more power in the light up the upcoming full moon. But even with a boundless faith, he couldn’t help but worry. He himself was never meant to be a warrior, he never had the ferocity or the sheer tenacity his love did. He was never as truly fearless, never as strong a warrior. The most he could do was forge the weapons, the very tools his beloved would need to see it through, every danger and every journey. Every last bit of his love poured into his craft for the sake of his husband, hoping, praying that the strength of it could lend to Runaan. That his love could be his strength too.

         “You were never one to fail. You are strong, the strongest of us, I’d stake my life on it.” His hold on his hand shifted, now placing the other’s open palm to his cheek. A simple little touch he treasured more than near any other, soothing, to steady his heart. Yes, he knew of his strengths. But trickles of icy fear still laced his heart, no matter if they were to never show such a thing. He could never bear the idea of losing him. Perhaps he was foolish in feeling such a thing. But-- “Still, every moment spent away from you is a bitter one.” A selfish part of him longed for him to not leave, to keep him away from the danger, one he couldn’t help but feel was greater than anything he could ever face. But it was his duty. Duty above all else was their way. No amount of love could ever hope to change that. However--

          “I suppose now...by the moon’s light, I should take all the time I have with you until the time comes for us to part. Will you grant me this, my beloved?”

Wedding dance?

Our boys are together at last in the same sketch! And they’re all lit up and glowing, too. It’s so tooth-rottingly sweet I’ve died seven times already.

Dancing is integral to Moonshadow culture–a blend of martial accuracy and artistic expression, a repository of tradition. Runaan and Ethari have to dance every time they come home from anywhere, whether together or alone, and I’m living for that image.

But this sketch? This is far more than a secret key to the village.

Rayla and Callum could have performed their unlocking dance without ever touching. This dance is meant for touching, which, if you’ll remember Runaan’s soft touch under Ethari’s chin, is something they both enjoy very much.

Runaan’s also all the way down to a single shirt. He lives in his layers–they’re vital for his job and for his mental stability while he does it–so seeing him in just one shirt means he’s off the clock and fully enjoying his soft leisure time.

Ethari’s hair is always a disaster, but Runaan’s is actually untidy as well. Makes me think their dance has some good spins in it. Or something. Mmmm, yes please.

The lovely white glow makes me think they’re dancing under a full moon, or at least in the moonlight, although they could be enveloped by a gleaming spell of some kind too. Or both.

What’s selling me on some kind of Moonshadow marriage ritual is the matching marks on their cheeks. I know that could mean nothing at all. But the fact that they both have the same mark, and that Runaan’s seems to be bleeding, makes me wonder if they broke out the knives and performed a blood ritual. Something sweet and quick, just a nick on the cheek, and maybe they kissed it better right away. But how Moonshadow would that be, to celebrate starting a life together with a reminder of their own mortality?

After all, is it really a Moonshadow wedding if the happy couple hasn’t been lightly stabbed?

A few tips && tricks on fancy formatting

WITHOUT using html

First things first, a very easy way to make your text look fancy is to switch between big && small text, CAPITALIZED words && normal written words, && CAPITALIZED BIG WORDS and small text. As you can see this already looks somewhat fancy.

Now: If you want to format without html, the most easy way is to highlight a word && wait for these things to pop up:

What you can do with these things is bold, italic, strike, underline (technically that’s a link but whatever) 

&& this big font thing.

Now I personally don’t really use these, I prefer to use key-combinations ( because for me it’s faster ): ctrl / b –> bold ctrl / i –> italic ctrl / shift / 2 –> big font thing ctrl / shift / 6 –> strike

ctrl / shift / 9 –> blockquote

Now these are the basics, but there are more. Most roleplayers like to use small text like the one I’m writing this tutorial in. But to use it you have to go into html mode and type <small></small> everywhere. Or, you use some more key-combinations: ctrl / shift / + (plus) or  -  (minus) ([you gotta try this one]–>small to make it big again (the usual size) just highlight the small text again and press the keys again [logic i know] ctrl / , (comma) –>makes your text go down ctrl / . (dot) –> makes your text go up

NOTE: when you use up/down, it automatically makes your text smaller. If you want it to have the same size, make the text big && then use the combination for up/down

Now we got that out of the way, let’s talk about text like this:

e̢͔̞͈̗̟͉͙̯̳̎͑̈̾̈̕͞x̰̪͋͗̓̎̃͊̎̎a̛͇̳̖̯͓͚͍͚͑͌m̵͍̞͂̐̓ͧͥͪͣ͒́p̪̪̼͚͔̎̂ͭ̀l͉͈͓̪̜̦̟͙̹̆̿͗̀͢e̷͚͙̭̰͉͉̒̅̂̅ͮ̀  and this  ｅｘａｍｐｌｅ

You can find the first one here && the second one here (this side has lots of other fonts too)

Just copy and paste them ;)

The LAST thing you have to do is to combinate these things at will && voilá: a normal sentence looks FANCY wow && guess what?? You didn’t have to go into html mode once yay!! [just don’t over-do it]

So yeah, hope this helps :)

Nothing that has to do with formating but I thought I’d leave this here: symbols

EDIT: more combinations: ctrl / K –> link ctrl / shift / l –> horizontal line ctrl / shift / P –> Insert Photo ctrl / shift / K –> Insert Read More

EDIT EDIT: IF YOU WANT  TO UNDERLINE SOMETHING, YOU DON’T NEED TO USE THE LINK OPTION. Simply press CTRL / U
