FAIRYTALES.
‘ let me guess, you thought a true love’s kiss would help you. ’
‘ you will always follow the trail in the wood, and it will guide you on the same path, to the same cottage, the same witch. it will always be your undoing. ’
‘ i have never seen a more tragic creature. how might i help you ? ’
‘ you must take this knife and plunge it into his / her / their heart. ’
‘ forget yourself. that is how you break your curse. ’
‘ remove this thorn from my hand, and you will be rewarded. ’

‘ tell me of the beast, and i will hunt it for you. ’
‘ mice are never just mice, and pumpkins are rarely just pumpkins. ’

‘ jealousy has made more witches out of women than adam’s rib. ’
‘ where has choosing goodheartedness and having golden hair ever gotten you ? ’
‘ are you a helpful wizard, or the kind that sits in a tower reading moldy books ? ’
‘ i’m dreadfully bored. who knew waiting for a prince was so strenuous ? ’
‘ we all have towers we must leave, and magic that will try to thwart us. ’
‘ i’m afraid for the clock to strike. the hour will ring in the place of my heartbeat when we must be parted. ’
‘ i had no idea carpets could fly. or pigs for that matter. ’
‘ what would happen if the knight did not arrive to the castle, and the dragon made a den of it and a hoard of its people and prize of its princess ? ’
‘ i sometimes think i was switched out at birth, like a lizard in a bird’s nest. i belong somewhere else. ’
‘ in another kingdom exists a throne and a crown that is mine by right. ’
‘ if i did not wake up one day, i would still be waiting on a spinning wheel, dutifully bored. ’
‘ something in me knows you are here for my heart. ’
FOLKLORE.
‘ in all the myths i’ve heard, it’s never been worthwhile to approach strange sights. it’s best to turn around and pretend you never saw them. ’
‘ nothing is folklore until it exists longer than consciousness remembers, and lives in spite of it. ’
‘ i’ve heard your name before, in songs and lengthy ballads. ’
‘ whatever has led you here to me, there is destiny in its making. ’
‘ the beast returns every century or so, and tries to devour us. it will come again before long. ’

‘ someday you will become a pilgrim, a saint, or a favored story, while i will be a voice on the wind. ’
‘ the stories say brides don’t live to the light before demons devour them. why should i become one ? ’
‘ there was another girl like you once, in a small town like this one. i can’t remember if she became the monster or died trying to escape it. ’
‘ remember to festoon the hearth with garlic, or rosemary, or one of those mundane herbs that keep evil out. ’
‘ that sounds like nothing but a tall tale, but i’m certain smaller minds would eat it up. ’
‘ to cross this bridge, you’ll have to pay a heavy toll. ’
‘ don’t stray too far from the path set before you, or something interesting might happen. ’
‘ i’ve passed that yard of crops a million times, but the crow never moved from its post until this morning. ’

‘ graveyards aren’t where you find ghosts. look for them in places that feel like memories you shouldn’t have. ’
‘ stories reap princes from peasants as if their skins were crops in the ground. ’
‘ what form does your fear take ? surely not that of a bear or a lion. such things are too assuring. ’
‘ i found myself where everything was too familiar to be real. ’
‘ in safe beds on cold dark nights, we learn to face the monsters in our own minds. ’
FAEKIND.
‘ you’re not to partake in a fairy feast. don’t you know it’s the food that will devour you ? ’
‘ i’m sorry you did not read the eyes of the trees before finding yourself here. ’
‘ i wish to go back. i want to forget everything. ’
‘ you think that believing in us is enough to protect you ? that it will kill us if you forget, and we prey upon your unknowing ? ’
‘ step around the ring three times, like a backwards clock. that’s how you get to fairyland. ’
‘ i’ve never heard such sweet music before. ’
‘ where the trees begin to twist and groan in their roots, remember you must not make a right turn. ’
‘ i didn’t feel like i’d stepped into another world, but like it stepped into me. i knew i was there and forgot i’d left anything behind. ’
‘ how amusing. a human ! ’
‘ would you be my bride if i were to take you into the ground ? ’
‘ i know of tunnels you might take, the burrows of trolls and rabbits. ’
‘ don’t take anything from this realm, none of it is worth the price of keeping. ’
‘ there are courts by many titles in the lands beyond the veil, all of them other. ’
‘ names are not like currency here; they are more precious than diamonds and legacies. ’
‘ did you think all of us looked like goblins ? ’
‘ getting here is easy, but getting home is quite the trick. ’
‘ i shall give you a riddle, and it will puzzle you until you know the answer but forget your own soul. ’
‘ a bloodline is nothing when you’ve outlived civilizations. ’
‘ refusing my hospitality is like human sin, and it will bring worse upon you. ’
‘ everything here is and isn’t, and things are and aren’t. ’
‘ on lonely nights i stare into the trees, and a strange face leers back. ’
‘ the thrones here are made of bones and blood, and built upon decay. ’
‘ a third time is not a charm, but a bargain. it says that you want something enough to wager your sense. ’
‘ it is dangerous to think that magical beings do not have human intensities. ’

scenarios inspired by various settings, encounters & magic tucked between pages, fashioned by the author. tw for drowning mentions.

MERMAIDS.
‘ beyond the winds and past the shores, strange magic lurks about. ’
‘ will you go to the lagoon with me ? it’s unsafe to go alone. ’
‘ they say a siren’s call alone can drown a man before she swallows him. ’
‘ quick ! cover your ears. ’
‘ what did you imagine as you heard the song ? ’
‘ i can feel a voice like claws sinking beneath my skin. ’
‘ one can pray to the ocean, but the waters answer in strange tongues. ’
‘ careful, or we’ll hit the reef. ’
‘ the sea-folk are flighty as their fins, and illusive as shimmering scales. ’
‘ i should like to find myself a sailor fit for a feast. ’
‘ sometimes i wish there was more than the endless waves. ’
‘ do you see that ? there, beneath the surface ? ’
‘ that’s no fish, and no woman either. ’
‘ what lies off the edge of the map ? ’
‘ the sea has monsters, but beauties too. ’
‘ i’ve heard that merfolk make bargains, and trade in the ocean’s magic. ’
‘ i’ve never seen a pearl like this one. ’
‘ the ship will go down if we don’t turn about ! ’
‘ what is that, out there on the rocks ? ’
‘ won’t you listen to my song ? ’
‘ mermaids love shiny things. keep a careful eye on yours. ’
‘ if we hide in the kelp, we might see them as they pass. ’
‘ i’ve heard the tales. to catch you means to gain a granted wish. ’
‘ i’ve never seen your likeness, only heard the myths. ’
‘ come with me, beneath the sea and foam, and be mine. ’
‘ some of us live in the ocean, others in rivers and streams and even trees. ’
‘ falling in love with a human is an old tale. tell me a new one. ’
‘ so you gave up your fin for legs ? ’
‘ soon i will be nothing but seafoam. ’
‘ what is a heart, but an ocean of secrets ? ’
‘ you’d let yourself be undone and remade for someone you’ve never known. that is not love. ’
‘ let your dreams sink to the depths. they’ve done you no good. ’
MASQUERADES.
‘ i’ve never seen so many unfamiliar faces. ’
‘ he’s / she’s / they’ve been looking at me all evening. ’
‘ would you do me the honor of a dance ? ’
‘ neither of us need know the other tonight. i prefer the mystery. ’
‘ your choice of costume is rather extravagant. ’
‘ what fun would it be, if i took this off ? ’
‘ i’m certain we’ve met before. ’
‘ i’ve always longed for a night like this. it’s something out of a dream. ’
‘ won’t you come away with me ? there’s a balcony just outside. ’
‘ i’m inclined to think we’ve never met before, and perhaps will never meet again after tonight. ’
‘ you look like you know how to waltz. care to ? ’
‘ i must stand up with someone this evening, and i don’t see why it can’t be you. ’
‘ would you stop staring so intently ? what do you think to find ? ’
‘ i’ll stop bothering you if you agree to dance with me. ’
‘ please take it off. i want to see you. ’
‘ i’ve never been to a masque before. ’
‘ it seems our attire makes opposites of us. ’
‘ i’ve never seen a more hideous costume than that one. ’
‘ i can’t stay much longer. you see, i’m not supposed to be here at all. ’
‘ you’ll never know who i am. ’
‘ people like you always make a fool of me. ’
‘ oh. i thought you were someone else. ’
‘ i’ll give you three chances to guess who i am. ’
‘ the next time i offer you my hand, you’ll get more than a dance from me. ’
‘ i’ve wanted to dance beneath stars like these for as long as i can remember. ’
‘ what do you look like ? ’
‘ that look in your eyes tells me all i need to know. ’
‘ you won’t like what you’ll see. ’
‘ i recognize your voice. ’
‘ you’ll know the truth before the night is up. ’
‘ i’ve heard the darkest of dances are the best for falling in love to. ’
‘ you don’t know it now, but we’re friends already. ’
‘ can’t we pretend a little while longer ? ’
‘ it’s when the party is over that we learn to know each other most. ’
‘ happily ever after can’t come so easily as a single night dancing. ’
MAGIC.
‘ i’ve caught you. you have to undo the spell for me now. ’
‘ think carefully before asking for something well beyond the reach of mortal power. ’
‘ i think i know a spell for that. ’
‘ i can’t help you. but there are people in other worlds, in the moors and hills and trees, that might. ’
‘ you must gather the necessary ingredients for such a potion. ’
‘ true love is never the answer to the riddle. not when so much as life and death is at stake. ’
‘ i’ve found and made my way here by right. you can’t deny me the answers i seek. ’
‘ be warned: monsters hide between the trees and whisper in magic tongues. ’
‘ it always makes a fraction of sense to be careful what you wish for. ’
‘ i’ve been turned into an unsightly creature, and i need a way of turning back. ’
‘ not all magical stories happen in castles, or cottages in the wood. ’
‘ preposterous. magic and sorcery do not exist but in the minds of superstitious fools. ’
‘ get back from that cauldron ! it’s dangerous. ’
‘ i don’t mess with things like candles and the stars and the moon after dark. it never ends well. ’
‘ i am something ancient. my name has been forgotten by mortal mouths and is found only in their oldest texts. ’
‘ not all fairy helpers are kind, and not all villains are ugly, or even cruel. ’
‘ if you want my help, you must earn it. ’
‘ is this something i could learn ? ’
‘ i don’t want to be ordinary, and i don’t care what the risks are. ’
‘ you think to put a curse on me ? i will spend my life defying it. ’
‘ stay back, witch, and keep your spells from sneaking past your lips. ’
‘ you must chain a magician in more than metal or rope if you wish to stop them. ’
‘ that’s a parlor trick. show me real magic. ’
‘ only you can break the spell. it is something you are meant for. ’
‘ fate is nothing but an illusion placed in our heads, that we might follow the words of others and not our own intentions. ’
‘ whatever has brought me here, i cannot turn back now. ’
‘ soon the clock will strike, and nothing more might be done. ’
‘ magic requires taking in order to give. it will keep demanding parts of you. ’

CRANIUM CANTS WITH CURIOSITY — hidden his gaze is / yet a light mirth shows as he merely hums in understanding — strange it be to find someone dressed in light yet elegant wear in such a crude desolate location ( gentle sway of figure before he allows himself to rest a’top ground. armor of boot’s creak softly with metallic click ) —- a light of laughter ‘pon the clear yet fond ire ; the royal gives. a nod & he hums in retort. palm raised upwards to lip – laughter sounds clear as starlight.
❛ oh — ! ! i’m very aware of that feeling ; i have a friend the same way. although i’m not sure what she would want with these broken parts — but i will be glad to help you out if you’d like — um…. forgive me what was your name — ? ? ❜
“Trust me, I’m not entirely sure either but I have a feeling she’ll figure out a way. Of course I was the only one around (or more like the first she had seen) that she came up to ask for help.” She had refused but it would have been futile anyway with Entrapta following after her pleading over and over to do this quest for her. Surely this something she could have done herself but she was already way too occupied in her work. And her robots.
“But thanks, I really appreciate the help...I feel like I’d really need it here. Too bad Adora isn’t with me for this.” Glimmer slowly stepped forward, almost slipping into the greasy junk but caught her footing. Now that she was slightly closer, the kind stranger was definitely head to toe in the armor, but to her relief it was a person beneath it all. Not another Horde soldier. “My name’s Glimmer, I came from the Brightmoon kingdom. I know it must be weird seeing a princess caught around here anyway. And you are?”
shestrong:
“Were you really spying on me?”
@sparkledmcnarch | starter call!
“Wh-what? No I wasn’t! Really, what made you think I was spying on you?” She laughed awkwardly. Smooth, Glimmer.

♕ - Watching her complexion grow weary from the events provided left him with heavy thoughts in his heart. By now there was no way of being a stranger to circumstances that aim to suffocate and dwindle down someone’s emotions. A decision was silently being strewn within his mind while watching the royal articulate her steps. ‘Even out there.. People had a similar look, worried, concerned, whatever was up there..’ Right now that heart beating it’s prominent tune knew the natural desire made before thought could conceive it.
“A step at a time.” Realizing how loosely he’s speaking with royalty of all things, he’s quick to take a more attention settled stance, shoulders propped up and eyes lit with a call for action. “ Ehm, that’s just something I heard from a friend of mine.. Usually, taking care of the thing closest by you kinda opens up the door for everything else, for a chance to really turn a situation on it’s head.”
“You took the time to really step out here and listen to me, also allowing me attendance in here too, I want to make up for that kindness. ..Sides. I dunno who they are exactly up there, but they’ve certainly did a number on my ship. So things wound up getting a tiny bit personal for me too.” He mentions while crossing his arms.
“I mean...as much as I am suspicious of you, I feel like I don’t have much of a choice. But also that I could trust you too. I guess after all that happened prior it’s just an inkling.” Before meeting Adora long ago, she often judged those who were part of the Horde or working with them. But it does go to show that people can still change or have become misguided that it’s open to help lead them in the right path. She wanted to keep going with that ideal, but sometimes it was really hard to try and follow with that. But this boy seemed...unusually open to helping her with this new strange danger.
“Well, you should take that up with the Horde, not us. It’s who we’re against actually so I don’t know if I should say you came at the right or wrong time. My mind hasn’t been very focused lately so I apologize if I’m not all there. But I still greatly appreciate the help, while I’m still waiting for my friends to return back soon, you’re more than welcome to stay here and all.” She nodded to him before continuing, “I guess I should have introduced myself first, heh...my name’s Glimmer and you’re in the Kingdom of Brightmoon.”

❛ sorry — um…. i didn’t mean to startle you – ❜ his tone is gentle / spoken clarity with strange metallic rift upon his vocals. thrumming like music on acoustic guitar / a pleasant - charming wisp. & like breeze ; he floats lightly above ground — above the women in a manner of sheepishness. azure armor shimmering within the soft of daylight. crimson visor hides expression from preying optics. a moment or so before he settles ‘pon dirt with clank of creaking metal via armored boots. ❛ but i have to ask — what are you doing in a place like this – ? ? not many people willingly go to a scrap-graveyard you know……❜
Glimmer merged out from where she previously hid after teleporting. Clearly she wasn’t used to going to places such as....this. She would have attacked on instinct but she was often scolded that it wouldn’t help most matters in the end. Now that she had a better look, the stranger looked...robotic. No, it was armor. As he apologized and asked of her business here, the royal sighed in relief although with hesitation, she answered. “You’re right, I’m usually not the one to come and find...things here. I was actually sent by someone, a friend. She told me to look around for some...parts in here. Although she really sucks at giving directions and all.”
mvstbcbrave:
Despite their clearly mutual feelings for one another, part of Adora was terrified that she would say no or react in a way that suggested that she didn’t want to kiss her. Thankfully, though, that didn’t happen. When Glimmer said that she could kiss her, Adora’s heart jumped up into her throat and she smiled at her. “O-okay, I will.” She murmured, closing the distance between them in the warm water. She brought her hand up to gently cup Glimmer’s face, bracing herself, trying to work up the courage to do so. Finally, she did so and leaned in to press her lips to Glimmer’s. She pulled back shortly after, though she wanted nothing more than to keep kissing her. “Was that okay?”
Honestly, seeing Adora so awkward was just adorable, Glimmer couldn’t resist her smile. She felt such strong butterflies during and after the kiss! Even her eyes started to sparkle a little from the excitement and her cheeks had been changing to a soft red color. The warrior’s soft touch against her cheek felt so nice and being so close to her felt comforting...she wanted more than just this one kiss. “It was more than okay. It was wonderful...I’ve...wanted to do that for a while.” Glimmer admitted. Her eyes met sky blue hues once more. “Could we...do that again?”
“I just wanted to help you.”

“I don’t think you understand. It’s too late for me. There’s no helping what I’ve done.”
She wasn’t wrong, she has done so much chaos and destruction and all for what? Seeing her so defeated was...almost unnatural. Angry, sure. Annoyed, yes. But Glimmer hadn’t expected this from Catra. A bit of silence occurred, the queen brought her staff upright. “It’s...not too late, I know. I know you don’t think so but...there’s a way. Somehow. You think I’ve wanted to do this? To fight for how long? I’m tired, Catra. We both are and I know it. We don’t need to keep doing this.”
