The Lost Dragonborn ~ @bxsiliisk

This hole. This deep, dark, unpredictable pit of uncertainty was playing with the mind of the girl. She was struggling more than usual to understand what was happening around her.

She was in a place she had never seen before. Thick of trees she didn't know, plants she did not recognize, and not a soul around her to help her troubled mind - to help her understand all of this.

But even more so, how now all of her magic was back.

She had grown accustomed to not carrying the burdens of chaos, she enjoyed it apart from the slivers of what was evidently returned. But now in this twisted forest, any wrong spell could set it ablaze.

Worse still to her were the creatures she had come across. What she thought were beautiful mushrooms and plants turned into horrible plant monsters that chased her through the jungle. Throughout the path were many hidden traps. Thankfully she has experience in identifying these things, but a wrong step had left a painful slash in her foot. It cut free the bandages she usually had wrapped around her feet, leading to her like a breadcrumb trail.

She barely noticed the pain, finally finding relief in a family place, a cave. She hurried towards it, welcoming the shelter from this strange land. Her blood leaving little red drops in the dirt as she went.

She found herself a place among the rocks, and the pain in her ankle began to catch up to her as she sat down. She was out of breath. It was rare that she had ever had to run for her life. What if she could not find a way out? This cursed forest seemed endless and dangerous. How long would she survive?

The sheer amount of adrenaline, combined with the panic of her thoughts left her body trembling as she began to cry, burning her head in her curled-up body, praying that this nightmare she was trapped in would end.

Gyess’ wandering had taken her to many strange places. Rarely did she spend time in what was her assigned abode, preferring the outdoors and wilderness to strange interiors. Of course, these ‘strange places’ were merely strange due to the fact that there was very little that was familiar. One such place was framed at the base of a mountain. Many people were entering the space chatting among themselves excited about whatever was in store.

Gyess watched the people pass at a distance, taking shelter behind some bushes as she curiously observed the passersby. She wasn’t sure where they were going or why so many of them had gathered in a single place. It did not appear to be a feast of any kind, nor did it seem it was a meeting. There was an energy in the air that Gyess longed to understand but was too nervous to approach.

‘What was this place?’ ‘What are these people doing?’ ‘Am I allowed to see what they’re doing?’ ‘Is is safe?’ All of these questions and more raced through her mind in an endless swirl, becoming increasingly unaware of what or who was around her. And so she stays, hiding in the bushes as she waits for the answers to her many questions.

@redlichbluelich ~ Library Meet-Up

Even though her surroundings had changed, there was very little about Gyess that actually had. Navigating the advanced cities was a challenge for her but she was still determined to learn her surroundings, allowing her curiosity to roam as she searched for answers. It didn’t take her long to find a place where she longed to be more than anything in the world. 

This forest was beautiful. Being among nature wasn’t new to her, in fact, it was a certain level of comfort to be back in a familiar place. As she freely roamed among the trees, she eventually stumbled upon something she had never seen in a forest. It was bigger than any building she had ever seen and yet it didn’t seem out of place. She cautiously approached the steps, eventually making her way inside. 

She gasped at the sight of the place. It was just as massive as the outside but full of beautiful streams, flowers… and books? This forest seemed more strange with every hour that passed. She ran around the place eagerly admiring every small detail in wonder.

Eventually, her gaze fell to the book shelves. She had never been in a place with so many of these in her life. While her common was not great, she was able to identify a single word: “magic”. She had an idea, perhaps this place has an answer to her problems! She had been searching for a cure to her magic for so long, maybe that’s why she was transported here.

She scanned the books more closely, looking for more words she could identify, but she struggled to find anything in draconic. She quickly realized she had no idea how to navigate the place - this was her first time being in a library after all. She quickly glanced around, maybe there was someone who could help her? 

The first being her gaze fell upon, a figure. He appeared to be a pretty normal human, with strange blue pants and long brown hair. She’d usually hesitate to approach strangers, but she was more desperate than usual. She walked up to him, hands clasped together nervously as she looked up at him. 

“Um… e-excuse me, sir? I hate to trouble you, but are you familiar with how to navigate this place? I need to find a book about… uncontrollable magic? I am afraid I do not know where to find it.” Her voice had a bit of shakiness to it, but she hoped that this stranger would at least point her in the right direction.

A Quiet Talk ~ @bxsiliisk​ ~ cont. from here

There was quite a lot she wanted to discuss, actually. It had taken her a lot of courage to even ask to meet with him at all, though she was eternally grateful that he followed through with it.

She nods in affirmation of his words. “Y-yes, Romanus. I know i may confide...” her eyes barely made eye contact with him. She had seen many things in that hole, and done many more things too. These only served as reminders to her that she cannot live with her Wild Magic any longer. Whenever these stars decide she might be returned her full capacity, she must be ready to fix it.

“I wish... to request something of you.” Her fidgeting increased with her hands, even her tail was twitching slightly behind her. “(I ... I need your help in removing my magic, permanently.)” Others she had met in the would not allow her to do such a thing, claiming that she can master it with their help. Even Romanus had offered to train her, though she never mentioned her true desire to be free of it.

“(You’ve seen what it can do. Even before you had found me, I met others who I put in danger... one reminded me of my cause. I can’t reunite with my family until this Wild Magic is gone. I am good for nothing as long as I have this burden.)” Finally she looks up at him, gold and teal eyes wet with forming tears. 

“(Please, Romanus... I don’t know what else to do.)” They were right to cast her out, or so she thought.

Moths and Mists ~ @seerspectacles​

Gyess had begun to grow accustomed to the wards she visited, though there were many more places within them that she had yet to explore, she found herself growing curious about what lay beyond these strange cities. She found a path and let it lead her to where it was going.

In no time she found herself in front of a massive forest of evergreens and mists. She was stunned that such a place could exist. She had already been to a forest prior, but this one was much denser and more imposing.

Though she was keen to explore it, after all the woods were her favorite place to be, she hesitated. While she knew what lived in the forest of her home world, she didn’t know what would be in this one. If she did manage to stumble across danger, she certainly didn’t want her magic to harm this place in any way. 

And so on the outskirts, she stood, considering her options to decide whether or not she should enter or go someplace else. It seemed that the pros and cons were perfectly aligned in her mind and she was unable to choose one.

@twilightjudicator​ ~ New Roommates

It really had not been a long time since she had first arrived in Isola. The place was new and strange. Normally she enjoyed exploring new places and new things, however, she was becoming largely overwhelmed. She had received help in finding her abode - the location she would always remember. But when she arrived the whole place was… strange. 

The floor was not made of dirt… there were so many strange-looking items that she supposed must be something called… fur-niche-urn? She couldn’t remember the common word for them. She could feel her nerve kicking in as she ran around the room, unsure of what to do or where to go. She needed to be safe somewhere- where could she go? 

Her searching eventually took her into the weird area, with an odd material on the floor that her talons made soft tick-tack tongs upon. She flung open cabinet doors. Assorted pots and pans were placed inside. Gyess had no idea what these were. She quickly took every piece of kitchen equipment out of the space and moved it onto the floor.

In no time at all, there was enough room for her to crawl into the cabinet and shut the door behind her. Finally, in an enclosed space of her own, she took several deep breaths and calmed down. She hugged herself into a ball and began to close her eyes to try and sleep. Though she heard some strange noises that stopped her from doing so.

Kuzuryuu couldn’t help but pause once the other made his attempt at a ‘joke’. He stopped in place, he didn’t move, he didn’t speak, he barely breathed. He just stared at the breeder, an annoyed scowl forming on his face. “... You try to suck my blood in this closet, I’m fuckin’ pullin’ a taser out. C’mon, try n’ help me find a damn way outta here.”

He didn’t seem to take that well. Some birthday this was turning out to be.
