my guiding light— a poem for LunaRose, from Nyx

You are the moon, steady and sure.

Through darkness, your light guides me— my very own slice of heaven.

You found me in my darkest hour.

Beaten down but not broken.

The world was cruel to both of us. It should never have been that way.

Yet that path so dark brought us here—

You and I, together.

Your grace, your light, your nurturing heart—

my silent companion, my guiding light.

The path behind us, and the path ahead, show a world threatened by darkness.

Yet, you stay, by my side.

And I— forever yours.

A bond of love, a promise to protect, a loyalty without end.

I choose you now— and every day, my guiding light in those darkest skies.

LunaRose, my faithful friend, my companion till the end.

(A/N: I don't ever write poetry but I couldn't let National Unicorn Day past without a little something for these two, so please be kind.)

If she so much as breathe too hard, someone is being blown down like a pig.

I cooked so bad, I fear

While Solace likes being feminine, the issue with him being feminine whilst also being a man is that people keep commenting on how he conveniently has big hips and his thighs are big. This makes him a little embarrassed when in public because, someone always has something to say.

But then here comes this Mavros mf, who is obsessed with how Solace looks and likes to put his head on his lap and sleep, takes it PERSONALLY when he stands in a corner and not flaunting his gods-sculpted curves

What's in a name?

Personality

Zodiac Traits: perseverant, practical, ambitious, driven, confident, loyal, faithful, demanding, stern, stubborn, workaholic

Nyx possesses a resilient and strong exterior, a result of the trials they've faced in their life. They may seem tough and unyielding when first encountered, but it's only because they have a shield up to protect themselves. They've been hurt in the past. However, beneath their sometimes intimidating exterior, they are warm, gentle and loving.

Nyx's loyalty is unwavering. They are fiercely protective. Once they've formed a bond or alliance, they are completely devoted, standing by their friends and loved ones with determination.

LunaRose (Unicorn) Headcanons

The unicorn that Aerin meets in Blades 1 and 2 is LunaRose, Nyx's unicorn companion.

Nyx rescued the unicorn when she was caught in a crude animal trap. Her leg was badly injured, but Nyx healed it and has cared for the unicorn ever since. Nyx has a deep bond with LunaRose, at times, it even appears as though they can communicate.

In Blades 2, when Aerin leaves the party after Riverbend, he does so to follow LunaRose, who guides him to Nyx.

LunaRose has some precognition powers and can act as a guide to assist those whose path she crosses.

Headcanons

Nyx's skin tone is naturally black, but it has the ability to transform into a galaxy/night sky tone [read more about this HC here]

Nyx has visited Undermount but is not a fan of how the elves there carry themselves. They believe elves should protect the realm and they can't do that from behind the comfort of their city, with their lavished homes and parties.

Nyx believes in experiencing all the beauties of the world as the Mother of Grey had intended for the elves. [clearly this was written before the Ash Empress....]

Nyx has a strong duty in protecting the lands where they live.

In my fic "Maybe One Day", Daenarya plants a seed in the Deadwood. Each of the characters in Blades 1 do their part to give the little seed a chance, even if they know it's future is bleak. I HC that LunaRose sensed the potential of life and drew Nyx to it. Nyx used their own magic to help it take root and grow. LunaRose also brings water from the lake to it, blessing it with her magic as well.

Nyx's magic is strongest at night under a clear sky and even stronger during a full moon.

Nyx was born during a solar eclipse, so they have near limitless power during those events. Nyx is weakest during lunar eclipses.

Nyx values honesty. Nyx understands people make mistakes, but they value when people are open about them and don't try to conceal them. Nyx doesn't like being lied to. Trust is very important to them.

Best Friend

Nyssa is Nyx's best friend. They helped Nyx discover they were demiro. Learn more about their friendship and history here.
