Behold, the translation for Celestian if you didn't want to know
Do not forget to connect your letters with a ^ above, and spaces also have a ^
This makes the period look like a diamond btw
The W is a bit messed up, It's supposed to look like a pair of rabbit ears on an m, but I think it's good enough, not like there are any Celestians left to criticize my shitty handwriting.
Okay maybe Qyburn.
Qyburn would definitely complain about my sloppy chicken scratch.
But he would give me props for "trying"
idk about Khonsu tho cause I didn't finish Selenopolis yet :/
Edit: I did finish Selenopolis, still not a definitive answer on Khonsu.
Inktober day twelve!!! Whale was a weird prompt. So I just uhhh kinda wrote another Ursae fic, because underwater stuff. Warning for experimentation, kinda? and kidnapping.
(link to prompt list) (link to inktober tag)
The flooded world of Celestia was vast, many of its previous caves and ravines now turned into mysterious and feared trenches and hidden depths, forever changed and dangerous.
But those caves were Ursae’s home. And she was homesick.
Ursae sighed heavily, leaning against the glass. Small bubbles trailed from the corners of her mouth, her lungs still burning from where she had inhaled the air, something she can do if acclimated, but not as suddenly as she did. She tucked her head on her shoulder, trying as best as she could to settle comfortably with her braids pressing against her skull.
Staring straight ahead, she watched the hub of activity that the strange furred creatures made. They were odd, but entertaining to watch until Ursae realized they worked on a routine, mapped out that routine, and got bored of it. They were weird too, always making sharp, angry sounds and looking at her curiously, writing everything down.
They even wrapped a strange cloth around her chest while she was asleep, though she couldn’t determine any sane reason why. They still studied her, and in retaliation for being trapped in a far too small glass room, she did nothing.
Even when they offered things for food, dead fish (gross), live fish (friends), and kelp (actually edible), she just stared blankly and didn’t move unless to get more comfortable so she could actually sleep.
Now she stared past the big dome, through the layers of glass, and out into the Celestian ocean, a light blue that her eyes usually were, unless of course Ursae was casting magic.
Her eyes glazed over, and she stared off into the distance listlessly, only temporarily snapping out of it every once in a while when one of her long braids floated past her field of view.
That is, until a giant, unidentifiable shape began to shadow over the dome. It was still light out, but the darkness made it seem like night was falling rapidly. Some of the creatures in the dome began to shriek, all of them pointing upwards or running or just staring.
Ursae gave in, and finally looked up.
A gigantic whale swam peacefully above the dome, singing in a way that seemed to shake the dome, some parts coming loose and leaking water, causing more panic and hysteria among the people inside.
Ursae moved, swimming to the top of her box and putting her hands against the glass, staring up. Summoning what she had of her magic in her weak state, she cast an aura on the whale for just a flash, trying to get her attention.
Please, free me. She sent through the magical link.
The borders of the glass began glowing, making a high pitched sound that hurt Ursae, and she flinched, floating slowly back down to the bottom with her hands over her ears.
Some of the dogs began yelling and pointing at her now, running over and examining the glass.
It was then that Ursae realized they had made some ward that would make her automatically fizzle any spell. She realized she was truly trapped.
Moving just a bit, she settled back to lean against the glass. And she stared up at the whale. And she started to cry, her tears glowing bright blue as they dissolved into the water.
