Starter for @elysianbook

There were times Hikari became overwhelmed staying within the city. She loved her citizens, yes, but some days... Some days she needed to be away from the bustling life, away from the reverence and worship.

That was why she came to the Sacred Woods. Singing birds, the rustling of leaves, and sound of running water from the nearby river drowned away the sounds of the city. 

It was peaceful. 

She sat down on the ground, the lush, green grass below her cool to the touch. A breath in, a slow exhale out. She then closed her eyes and listened to the sounds of the forest.

Sophie toiled away in her messy atelier, taking Uni, Wheat, and Kitchen Bell special milk and plopping them in the cauldron carefully so it doesn’t spill over. Leaning over it she peeks at its changing color- a soft red, illuminated with a bit of an orange glow off of the cauldron.  Sweet Cookies aren’t red? But maybe this will be a…spicy cookie? Or perhaps it’ll just be a bit redder than normal. Either way, Sophie started stirring and stirring, watching as the ingredients merged and sloshed, and then she grabs a vial from the desk nearby, a small dash of this green dust. Maybe it’ll help even out the weird color! But as soon as the droplet landed in the mixture- BOOM!

“UWAH!” Sophie jumped backward, shocked at the explosion, it was large- luckily not enough to bring down the building but enough to shake the towers of books shuffled on the floor to make them actually cover the floor properly. A sigh as she looks in the cauldron to a bunch of dust- another failure. 

Now what? She feels an eerie wind from the cauldron that seems to shift around the atelier. Did she do that? Can her level of Alchemy even accomplish this? It seemed to blow towards the door so she followed it.  She peeks out the door to her home, knowing that it's a bit of a walk away from Kirchen Bell expecting to see no one outside of it or at best Monika for her annual cleaning trip. 

“Uh, Hello?”

@elysianbook​ sent:  [ ABANDONED ] :  for  our  muses  to  meet  in  an  abandoned  building [ with either alder or fantasy!v malkuth ]

The dream plane was not like regular dimensions, it was like... well, it’s been described to her in different ways and only some of them have made sense to the reborn witch. As best as she understands it’s best to imagine a sink for all the fears and dreams of humankind. Tales that are imagined and remembered then coalesce into more than just an idea in that world. Right. Elijah is unfortunately unable to commune with any of them, at least not in any kind of productive conversation. So for all her connection to the entities that exist on it grasping it has been a difficult process necessitating lots of research and ... geez, asking around?

Or in this case, helping herself to exploring abandoned schools and their libraries. Elijah’s coven had been left abandoned under mysterious circumstances. There were clues to work with there too that she might use to find connections with other locations to piece together the secret behind the dream plane, but-- she’s just one girl, who already was so out of place at home. This whole ordeal can be a lot for her.

“I can’t just give up...” The witch mumbles to herself, leafing through the various books that hadn’t disintegrated or ruined by the elements. For how old this place was, it had held up well enough that she didn’t feel bad staying for a few night. There’s even a fireplace she was able to light once some firewood was tossed inside. There was still time before she’d figure out where she would want to sleep, more books pored over by candlelight as the evening breeze gently pushes at the panes of the windows.

Even if she didn’t learn more about her situation or her coven, she could still learn. For a witch Elijah was woefully undertrained in the ways of--

Creak.

A noise in the distance, but it didn’t sound like the wind or any natural phenomena. Was there an animal? ...a person? Elijah steadies her breathing, carefully setting the book down as she peers around the bookshelf into the distance. The hallway was too dark to see down.

“I knew I should have lit more of those candles! Ohh.... hello?!?! Is somebody there!” She calls out with arguably less care than the scene may warrant, waving her hand and sending a sprite of fire spinning down the way, lighting some of the sconces as it flew.

“H-Hey. Wake up...” Yui had shaken the other’s body a little. It was outside Tir Chonaill, a town in Erinn. A world where souls from outside the world can not permanently die or get sick from normal diseases... A fantasy life for many. It seems this little girl somehow ended up across the Soul Stream, by choice or by force. Only Nao really knew the answer. huh.

After shaking for a little while longer, she began to wonder if the girl was simply knocked out. Wolves sometime travel the area after all. Even new outsiders have trouble huh... She began to take out a phoenix feather to wake up the girl only for her to spot the other moving.

“Oh! Are you finally awake? I was getting worried there for a second!”

@elysianbook liked for a Siren Nick starter!

Curious green orbs poke out from the water. Nicky would occasionally come up to the dock and observe humans, and today was no different. Only today he sees a child. He stills for a moment. Children were either eager to tell everyone in earshot what they saw or silently come up to him. When it seems to be the latter, he lets his head fully emerge from the water. Showing off his gills and what seemed to be more like fins than ears. He smiles and waves.

➦ @elysianbook​ decided to cross paths with Loki! « Starter »

➥💀   ❝ Are you lost? ❞

He commented as his blue iris looked down at the female for a few moments. He was curious to where she had emerged from since Paris was full of people and he was quite familiar with majority of them due to their scent and their appearances.

@elysianbook​ from here.

“Is there something wrong with that? Don’t you know the best ideas come from madness.”

He’s clearly quite focused on this idea, looking away from her at some books in his search for more material locations.

“No, no you don’t get it. That’s not enough!”

“You can have the other person all to yourself forever with this invention. You don’t have to worry then. It’s perfect, a bond entrapped in stone.”
