A World Of Wonders

Esther Ruby Arks. Age 12. A small child left homeless by war, she is fighting to survive while keeping her childlike innocence. [[Independent OC blog. Faceclaim is Rin Kagamine. All images are not mine unless said otherwise]]

The blonde was awfully quiet, staring out at absolutely nothing in particular. The tree provided support, which Esther leaned on and swung her legs, as she was sitting on a branch too high up for most people.

The cloak was lying on the ground below, having been thrown in a fit of anxiety and uncertainty. The young girl knew where she belonged but... it was hard to even accept the fact that there were people there who needed her, that wanted a sister.

And her brother, Andru...

She couldn't forget about him no matter how hard she tried.

A sigh emitted from the young one, feet still swinging as she thought to herself, watching the clouds from the dangerous height she was at. Her parents.. her brother.. it was like nothing had changed.. like the war never happened.

And that confused Esther.

Her own heart was in turmoil. This was a home for her but... it felt like she really didn't belong here whatsoever. Like she was an outsider looking in. It had been so long since she'd had a home to return to besides the inn in Mysidia that the blonde just didn't know how to react. Or what to do, in that case.

Shutting her eyes, she shifted just slightly on the branch and leaned back a bit more, trying to think of what she was supposed to do now that there was somewhere for her to be. Somewhere for her to go when she needed a family by her side.

She'd been alone for so long that nothing really felt right to her. She liked coming and going, disappearing for days on end. But... she had no idea what she was supposed to even do!

And her brother...

Her twin...

How could she ever face him?! She was the older sister, his protector! And yet she didn't... she couldn't even save him from being kidnapped after the war!

Tears dripped down her cheeks and she opened her eyes, not a sound coming from her.

Where was she going to go from here?

[protomagius-blog]

Whoops. I've been gone from this account too long. Mostly because of lack of internet. I lost my insurance so I couldn't continue going to my appointments...

But I have a few things to note now.

1) Esther now has a family. It's not hers, per se, but it's a family. The Esther of that timeline is dead, so she's there to fill the hole, as if nothing ever happened. Which means her true story isn't going to happen.

2) Esther's hair has grown out and she's started braiding it, mostly because of her admiration of Palom.

3) She is now 12 years of age, no longer 10. But still has the same habits.

So yeah... offline, things have happened a ton... and now that I have internet again, I'll be here a lot more often, as well as on my other blogs.

Lost in Mountainous Woods [Palom and Esther]

Trees surrounded her vision. Nothing but trees and rocks. Stepping on one, Esther looked back to the brown-haired man she had been walking with before turning her attention back to the trees. The figure they had been chasing had disappeared, which left the two of them lost without a way back.

Esther felt bad for dragging Palom along. He had his duties back in Mysidia and yet... here they were. The blonde hopped down off the rock and held her cloak around herself.

Her attention returned to Palom, a frown on her face. How was she to explain this?

Reunion of the Twins [Esther and Andru]

Her wanderings had taken her to a grand place, one that reminded Esther of home. How many years had passed since she last saw her own home..? She didn't know. Did she care? Yes. If something reminded her of certain things, she was likely to care about it.

The blonde opened the door and walked inside, glancing around. It was like a dream. Echoes of her past, before the war took her parents and twin, resounded in her mind. Esther wasn't paying attention when she bumped into someone.

"E-eek! S-sorry, mister!"

[protomagius-blog]

I have starters done. I just can't post them. Something's wrong with my phone. May try later.

[protomagius-blog]

Possibly because of a rumor that they wanted to prove false. Or Esther got curious. Or… well, they saw something and wanted to investigate.

That’s a good question. I could write it, but it would be a while before I posted it. ‘M about to head home.

[snarkyblackmage-archive-blog]

//Any of those would work! If you wanted to write it, that’s fine. I’m patient and can wait, dear UvU I’m also going to have a class to attend soon, so I’ll be jetting off too. Your decision though, I won’t be an RP tyrant and FORCE YOU to write it XD

[protomagius-blog]

I'll choose one at random and write it out. Ah, okay. I'll try to have it up sometime today. If not, tomorrow. I don't wanna make you wait too long, though. So I'll try. ^^ Hope you have a good day! I've gotta go. People may be wondering where I disappeared to. So you can find the starter easier, I'll tag you in it. :3 See you soon!

[protomagius-blog]

Alrighty! Yay! ^^ So.. anything else we need to plan out?

[snarkyblackmage-archive-blog]

//Wh are they in the mountainous woods to begin with? Like, before they get lost?

After that, the last question is: Who makes the starter?

[protomagius-blog]

Possibly because of a rumor that they wanted to prove false. Or Esther got curious. Or... well, they saw something and wanted to investigate.

That's a good question. I could write it, but it would be a while before I posted it. 'M about to head home.

[protomagius-blog]

Ah. All right. I understand. ^^ Hm. I’m not really good with the geography of the Blue Planet quite yet so… hm.. maybe a forest or mountain near Mysidia? I’m not too sure.. ^^;

[snarkyblackmage-archive-blog]

//That works! Mysidia has both mountains AND forests on it, so yay! :’D

[protomagius-blog]

Alrighty! Yay! ^^ So.. anything else we need to plan out?

[protomagius-blog]

Yaaay! Hm. Let’s see… maybe the map was read wrong. Or the arrows were misinterpreted. Or Esther ran off after seeing something. But where they’re at… it’s tough to say unless I can figure out if it’s on the Blue Planet or Esther’s world

[Okay…]

[snarkyblackmage-archive-blog]

//Well Palom hasn’t really gone world hopping yet :V Technically he’s not allowed to leave Mysidia until his sister is back from hiatus, since he is an Elder, and b/c of this I haven’t let him visit other worlds. So it would make more sense for HIM if we stayed on the Blue Planet? Also where should they get lost?

[protomagius-blog]

Ah. All right. I understand. ^^ Hm. I'm not really good with the geography of the Blue Planet quite yet so... hm.. maybe a forest or mountain near Mysidia? I'm not too sure.. ^^;

[protomagius-blog]

I found a place to use the internet finally, so ‘m here! Missed seeing you. Yay! Hm… Plot.. I’m not so good with plots. The only one I have right now is these two managing to get lost when they weren’t supposed to. ^^;

[snarkyblackmage-archive-blog]

//Awesome! And getting lost works. That is a plot hook! STEP ONE COMPLETED!

Now we just get to figure out where they’re lost, and how they got there before they became lost C:

(don’t worry, this will be easy, I do it all the time.)

"...Grrr... Work. Work. I have to make thing work!"

[protomagius-blog]

I want to write a drabble with Palom and Esther. But I'm not sure what to write it about... I've been wanting to for some time now, and yet no ideas for it OTL. I need to think on it... or something.
