Searsha once saw children at a festival writing on colorful strips of paper and then tying them into the branches of bamboo. When she asked them about it, they explained that they were writing down wishes. When she looked confused by the practice, the children were eager to teach her how to do it...if only because they were nosy about the stranger's wishes.
This is a prompt from the vierapril lists that can be found here. I am swapping between the lists as the inspiration takes me.
When Searsha arrived in the East, she expected to live life as an outcast. However, when a village took a chance on her, she slowly started to develop a sense of belonging.
Prompt 2: Payment
Searsha envied the way the hyur and au ra ninjas could blend in with the commoner population. She was afforded no such luxury given her heritage. Still, she found work enough, and she wore her reputation like a mask when in public.
These are from the two Vierapril prompt lists shared here. I will probably have difficulty doing every day, but since I have two lists to choose from, I feel I can at least try when I have time.
FANG MY LAD MY BABY MY EVERYTHING LOOK AT IT GO!!! GO FUNKY LITTLE LAD GO!!!! WE STAN A LITTLE FANGSONG IN THIS HOUSE!!!!!!!
It doesn’t remember not its childhood. As far as it's aware, it just showed up one day. Teeth goes on and on about him, and its little sister. It was always about him, and Canine. The two were close, him being the older one, he was protective of her. It doesn’t remember going to school, yet it knows so many things.
It quickly learned that it liked a few big things. Music, teeth, and humans. All of them were just so.. Small, fragile. All of them, even the ones that could do magical things. They had a soft spot in his heart, all of them. He also learned that he wasn’t good with negative emotions. When it first realized this, it thought that its parent would be upset! And it didnt want that, it cared about its parent too much for that!
But much to its surprise, they weren’t upset at all. They simply smiled, and explained to it why what he feels is okay. And that it is a very human thing to feel, and that it’s okay to not like those feelings. This helped him calm slightly, so this wasn’t any reason to worry, or panic.
This helped it greatly. It spent years learning how to be human, and of course, taking care of the small one. Taking care of them brought it immense joy, and it enjoyed this feeling. It enjoyed this greatly, just like it enjoyed tea, and teeth!!!! Teeth (both its parent and the bones) brought it even more joy.
It became close friends with the other people in the site, and he made many friends. It also learned how to control what it could do, and how to not hurt people with its abilities. Its magic could be wild, but that was expected of a godling. He learned a new thing he could do everyday.
It also learned the truth soon. It shattered their heart, why did their parent have to leave? It didn’t want to be alone, it hated that feeling. They tried to remind him that he wouldn’t be alone, and that it had people, but it was not listening. It did come to accept this, and it made a promise to Teeth.
“Please… Promise me something, little spawn.” It looked up at his parent. Teeth grabbed its hands gently, and squeezed. “Take care of them, all of them. I will not be back for a long time.” It frowned, but nodded. “They are all precious… as you know, so please, be gentle, and remember what I taught you.” It nodded, a smile forming on its face.
“I..I Promise! I’ll do whatever I can to keep them safe! And to keep them happy!” When he said that a smile formed on Teeths face.
“Good! Good.. Thank you little spawn.” Teeth let go of its hands and gave it a hug, before patting its head and leaving their office, turning the corner and disappearing. It watched as they went, sighing.
It didn’t want them to go, but it promised it would take care of this reality, like they did! And it keeps his promises. As planned, it took Teeths place on the council, and they just kept his name.
It sat on the roof, kicking its legs and looking out to the horizon. One was up there shortly after it, sitting next to him and leaning on it. The two had a very unspoken relationship. They cared for each other, especially after Teeth left and Six well… yeah. You get the point.
The two bonded when they were younger, over dumb jokes and tea. That was something they had in common, they both loved tea, and all kinds of it too. Titanium or Lorellona, or well.. One, just really enjoys tea on its own. Whereas it likes to put sugar in its tea. One thinks that the sugar is gross, but won’t say this. She doesn’t want to hurt its feelings.
When the council first met, they discussed the usual, the tone in the room was sadder than usual, but why wouldn’t it be. They lost three overseers almost back to back in the span of a few weeks. There was reason to be upset, hell, more than upset. But like they always did, they made due.
It had found a name other than the one Teeth gave him, that it liked. Its friend helped too! It liked Elijah, it felt like it fit him. It fit him like Fangsong did, even though he preferred Fangsong, he was fine with Eli too. And he’s trying his best, and that's all anyone ever wanted him to do. For very suddenly taking after Teeth, he is doing a good job.
Seven, known as “Fangsong” still keeps their promise for their parent.
Ah fuck theyre back damn it
