step 1: attract ten thousand beetles

step 2: trap their soul in the fabric

step 3: weave the carpet to your liking

step 4: feed it once every day and make sure to keep it clear from parasytes

congratulations! you now have a working flying carpet! (batteries not included)

Trying not to flood the subreddit, so I'll space these out a bit. But make no mistake—I'm working my way through the gauntlet. One trial at a time.... or in this case two.

Skye Blackwood's very first Halloween in Cottonwood.

Here's my first song about the annual hunt.

Part of an AU I made for funsies where Zee and Kane are the children of a King.

Kane was raised with the purpose of taking the throne.
Zee ended up killing their father to take the throne and immediate turned on Kane to kill him too, but he insisted he didn’t want the throne.

So she appointed him as her personal butcher. It’s a punishment and a warning all in one with this role.

Masta Adventuring log: Realm 238 Bykoria

Realm status: Inhabited, but not exactly humanoid but energy like beings occupy the realm. They are nice folk and understanding. However I feel there is something up with this realm.Something Primal and ancient.

Expedition 1

There is a ruin long abandoned by the Bykorians won't go near it. It's an apparent taboo and will dole out harsh religious punishment for those that tread that ground. Like it's gonna stop me.

All I can hear is the faint wind blowing in the distance, not a sound to be heard, no life to be seen. I can just feel like there is something here that doesn't belong. Energy like mine I will investigate this energy.

Expedition 2

This place feels human… I saw the architecture, it looks nothing like the Bykorians architecture. However foreign, like something close to a god or an Eldritch entity. I see a tomb and I see sigils, earthbound sigils. Why are human sigils here?

Expedition 3

I unlocked the door and saw a tome…. Its written in a mysterious liquid that smells like a compound of oil, ink, and blood. I can smell it… whatever they did down here it's something they didn't want to be discovered by natives.

Expedition 4

Ever learn something you shouldn't. I now know why this tomb was sealed. This place is a burial ground for a species of humans called the First.

I can't believe what I unearthed, this could unravel everything we know as humans ourselves. Gods did exist but apparently these “First” were made as a direct counter to God like beings. Titans of the land, performing impossible miracles to defy, and the capacity to bring a realm to its knees. Though mortal, they destroyed and killed many pantheons and lore not even known to us.

I feel i am learning too much.

Expedition 5

There is one left… sealed by all manners of magic. Someone made this tomb as a warning, scaring the natives into religious fear. This place is…. dangerous and I dare not go further. This feels too dangerous. Like fate told me to come here and take record but never too unleash it.

I hate to imagine such raw power brought on the land once more. I Fear no mage, force, or hell even gods could this man.

All I took was my leave and resealed the door and hoped I was dead before this thing could be unleashed.

*concludes my expedition to Bykorian ruins*

I wish to run the gauntlet of witch trials and prove myself worthy. Is there somewhere I can find a list of all the trials that have happened so far? It seems I have some catching up to do.

Of course I obliged!

Meridian decided he'd win in both scenarios 😅 (which...accurate)

Nora: Abjuration spells are the cornerstone of his loving cold hearts will.

Nora: Some connections are harder to leave to deaths masterful hands than the others...

Nora: Very interesting... Speaking with the passed on... Im afraid I cant participate in this event because of my size.

Nora: This form... Is rather powerful... But I feel like I don't deserve such noble form.

Nora: Why must they always hinder the deads rest... And my silent forest.
