∘⡊ ☾ ˚ GRAB ME BY THE ANKLES I'VE BEEN FLYING FOR TOO LONG. i couldn't hide from the THUNDER in the sky full of song, and i W A N T you so badly but you COULD be ANYONE. i couldn't hide from the thunder in the sky FULL of song. hold me down, i’m so TIRED now. aim your arrow at the S K Y. take me down, I’m too tired now. — LEAVE ME WHERE I LIE. i thought that i was flying, but MAYBE i'm dying tonight. i thought that i was FLYING, but maybe I'm dying tonight.
EYES TURNED SIDEWAYS AND UPWARDS towards the woman as she spoke. a look of complete curiosity covering her own features, “ forgotten ? ” though there may have been a few rare winter bloomers scattered throughout the snow covered forest over the years, asteria doubted they were much to be sniffed at compared to the ones she’d heard stories of. “ you say you’ve forgotten but you remember flowers ? you were around when there once was no snow upon the ground to stop their blooming ?”
SHE LOOKS TO THE HUMANOID , curious. there were many who knew only of the winter -- another tidbit kore had also forgot. “ i have been around far too long , ” she admits. the faintest of smiles are on her face as she gives a light shake of her head. “ i had taken advantage of it then. i thought they would continue to bloom. ”
“ hm. depressing. you could go look at some heather, you know. ” though he can’t think of any growing nearby. even flowers that bloom in winter have been scarce, lately. “ would you rather have known, and forget now, or never have known them at all? ” he’s got nothing to go on when it comes to such questions ; the world’s been frigid all his life.
THERE’S HARDLY HESITATION AS SHE RESPONDS , “ never knowing. ” her answer , unpopular and rare , is unapologetic. “ ignorance is bliss , ” kore reasons. “ this way , i lose nothing. ” it is far too common for things to slip through her fingers -- years leave her like running water. “ what would you prefer ? ”
“Seeing all these Narnians together… “ a pause as the wind softly blew, the dryad couldn’t help but smile gently, sure there was a dark storm coming, but it couldn’t compare to the cold prison they’ve all been held in for decades, “ …It’s all surreal isn’t it?”
Probably this wind too, is full of hope.
AS HE TILTS HIS HEAD , sandy blond hair flops to the side. “ seeing ? ” he echoes , a grin already on his face. “ not quite my expertise. ” it sounds beautiful , though -- all of narnia coming together. it sounds like a dream.
KORE DOESN’T SPEAK TO OTHERS very often. if it were possible , she would prefer to return to her tree hollow and nap. but , the leader of the fey is rooted in her spot by a nostalgic reverie. “ how scary , ” she murmurs to herself. “ i had forgotten what flowers had looked like. ” kore was often guilty of allowing things to slip from her purview. little things. her spot in a book , or where she’d left the lid to the sugar pot. memory was a funny thing.
FAITH. SHE KNEW IT WAS lacking with the growing worries of her brother but to be told to have faith in aslan, only made it all the more clearer. ❝ i suppose you’re right, ❞ lucy caves, offering him a much more genuine smile as her fingers tug at the stems of green. ❝ i’m sorry, i didn’t mean to spoil the mood, ❞ a hand reaches out to splash some water on the boy. ❝ there, all better ! ❞
HE SPUTTERS -- TAKEN BY SURPRISE. he should’ve seen it coming. well , heard it coming. noticed the attack. “ no fair ! ” he shouts with a laugh. ralph follows his first instinct , leaning in and aiming the splash at where he thinks lucy is. he’s always been afflicted with awful aim. he hopes he manages to ring true.
HANDS EMBEDDED INTO THE DEEP grass that surrounded the great river, lucy’s head picks up at the sound of footsteps. there’s a gentle smile against her lips that doesn’t quite reach the eyes, despite the appearance of a friend. word had been that a team of narnians sought out to rescue louis & tirian from the white witch’s hold. & even with as much faith as she had in aslan and the army, it was hard not to have doubts. ❝ when do you think they’ll return ? do you think they can save them ?? ❞
ALTHOUGH THEY’D MET RECENTLY , ralph had found it easy to recognize the voice of the daughter of eve. she had a pretty voice. nice , smooth. “ very soon , i’m sure. ” ralph answers with a wicked , confident grin. the chipmunk-boy comes to settle in the grass next to lucy , relishing in the feeling of grass tickling his bare feet. he doesn’t share the view she has , but enjoys the sound of the light currant streaming past them. “ have faith in aslan. ”
what do you say when an entire country declares you will be crowned as one of their kings? you accept , of course , despite the clear reasons to refuse . in fact , the cons outweigh the pros . but one pro in particular wins your favor , a pro by the name of louis that you’ve known for quite sometime . now people bow at your feet and talk of a prophecy that will save their land . are you enough to fulfill their wishes ? peter leaves the large tent that houses his sleeping quarters in hopes of finding his siblings . he gazes down the rows of tents and lets out a quiet sigh , turning to the nearest bystander . ❝ i … i hate to disturb you , but can you point me in the direction of … ❞ peter pauses , ❝ or , point me in the direction of a mapmaker ? ❞
DONNIE STARTLES AT THE APPEARANCE of the son of adam. her stomach is already in knots at the idea of warring and being so near to one of the men who are meant to led them to that victory makes her antsy. “ centaurs would be better help , ” she advises quickly , immediately looking for the nearest route of escape. “ i don’t know which of them will be able to help you , but better them than i. i’m sorry. ”
what up im jo im 18 and i never learned how to fuckin read ! below da cut is KORE , IDONEA , and RALPH.
☾ ( LEE SUNG KYUNG , CISFEMALE. ) ━ announcing ( kore ), the ( twenty-seven | unknown ) year old ( fairy ). the trees have often said they’re known for being ( + benign ) and ( + wise ) but also have the tendency to be ( - distant ) and ( - unempathetic ). they’re known as the ( hallowed ) around narnia.
one can’t possibly expect her to remember the circumstances around her coming to being. many things about kore are unknown. details are easily lost. they slip through her fingers. the only thing she can remember is that in the darkness, she brought light.
kore had always been solemn -- tight-lipped and a silently observant. she was quiet. she was unlike the mischievous sort of fey. she was sneaky, sure. conniving, even. she learned the traits because it’s what you did to survive.
she did more than just survive, though. she thrived. over the years, she rose to become the leader of the fey. this was in thanks to her level-headedness. she wasn’t flighty, or whimsical. she does not act on her mischief. she is too old to act like a child.
☾ ( SAMANTHA BOSCARINO , CISFEMALE. ) ━ announcing ( idonea ), the ( twenty | twenty ) year old ( wolf ). the trees have often said they’re known for being ( + thoughtful ) and ( + gentle ) but also have the tendency to be ( - hesitant ) and ( - distressed ). they’re known as the ( pacifist ) around narnia.
idonea -- or rather, donnie -- was orphaned young. which says very little because in comparison to most in narnia, she is still young. but, if one must put a date to it, it’s a scab that’s healed.
it’s rather difficult to be a wolf when you’re missing your vertebrae. she’s spineless and worrisome and would rather aslan and the white witch settle this over a nice cup of tea. she doesn’t want to see more people dead.
donnie is neither bark, or bite. she’s a more of the type of dog that brushes against your leg begging for pets. she’d rather l<3ve than fight.
☾ ( FROY GUTIERREZ , CISMALE. ) ━ announcing ( ralph ), the ( nineteen | nineteen ) year old ( chipmunk ). the trees have often said they’re known for being ( + energetic ) and ( + curious ) but also have the tendency to be ( - nosy ) and ( - stupid ). they’re known as the ( callow ) around narnia.
when chipmunks are born, they are hairless and blind. after the first month, the majority of chipmunks do not stay blind. this was not the case with ralph.
he is blind, but he’s not unhappy. he is a boy. a young boy. a stupid boy. a mischievous boy. if there’s no trouble, he’ll take it upon himself to design it himself. he’s a prankster. he loves to laugh and make others laugh.
while the idea of a battle scares him, he is excited for spring. see, he loves snowball fights, but his aim isn’t the greatest.
