The Secret Sylspren

Syl thinks spren don't follow her around like they do humans, but little does she know of her mischvious little sylspren. A companion invisible to her but nevertheless always there.

Part 4: Protection

Sylspren hummed with excitement. This new discovery made pranks seem meaningless! She couldn’t have picked a better soul to bond with. Syl herself was bonded with a radiant! Together they would set the world right! What did that make her? Nothing... I’m just a nosy, abstract, invisible light trail. Even if she was more, could she help? With more than pranks? She looked at Syl's laughter and promised that she would try. After remembering the danger they faced and how the storm-father’s light used to protect her, she would try the same. Even with what little light sparked her existence.

Part 3: Memory

Sylspren whipped through the frazzled army, trying to keep up. She bobbed forward, floating and flitting at a frustrating pace, catching the breeze when possible until finding Syl’s shoulder. What lie before them was an incredible sight. Kalidan was glowing with Stormlight, racing through enemy arrows with fury, keeping fire from all the bridgemen and army. It reminded Sylspren of …? 

 “The radiance.” Syl herself whispered. A rush of memories flooded back to the spren and she buzzed shooting high into the sky above all, twirling with excitement. Finally remembering the true danger, but also what has always saved them.

Part 2: Attraction

She found Syl and Kalidan during the highstorm. Syl protecting a human against the Stormfather was the first exciting thing to see in a millennia. It was surprising, refreshing, and so endearing! So she popped down from the swirls of storm to re-bond with Syl, for this lovely spren looked like a fun soul to swirl with. She was curious to see if the boy survived. It took weeks for him to wake, leaving them to battle rot spren. However when he spoke, she finally learned his spren’s name. She loved it so much that she started calling herself Sylspren.

Part 1: A Wisp of Light

The spren chuckled as she heard Syl complain that she didn’t attract spren like humans did. If only she knew, the wisp of light thought to herself. She had never been able to make Syl see her, but in a way, getting to watch events unfold silently was much more fun! She bobbed around Syl’s head, just barely a spec of light mixed with her wispy translucent dress trails. She moved to Kalidan, sighing, enjoying him almost as much as Syl. He was an honorable man, but Syl made life the most fun, what would they do without her pranks?!
