Hey!

How are you guys doing? I hope everything's good.

Today is another text post, but this time it's not Corey or Bloom related.

Today I'm going to tell you the legend of the Nightbloom Lily (which, by the way, is an unspoken symbol of friendship between Corey and Bloom).

So the legend is:

"... Deep in an ancient forest, where light penetrates through the dense foliage, grows an unusual flower - the Nightbloom Lily. Its petals glow with a soft orange light reminiscent of the setting sun. Legend has it that this flower was created by the Great Fairy Eirielia.

Eirielia was the most powerful of all fairies. She guarded the forests and cared for every living thing, giving them strength and energy. In olden times, when the world was younger, travelers were often lost in the forest, losing their strength and hope of rescue. The Great Fairy saw their suffering and decided to create a special flower that could restore the strength of the tired.

One day, at sunset hour, when the sky was turning pink, Eirielia gathered the light of the last rays of the sun and put them into one single flower. This flower has since become known as the Nightbloom Lily. It was believed that whoever found this flower and touched its petals would gain new strength and energy enough to continue on their journey.

Travelers who heard this legend often went to the forests in search of this lily. And everyone who was lucky enough to find it claimed to have seen a beautiful fairy who blessed them and gave them her grace.

It is said that the Nightbloom Lily blooms only when the forest needs its help, and its light always leads good people to salvation. The legend of the Great Fairy and her magic flower lives on to this day, inspiring the tired and desperate to believe in miracles and the power of nature."

So, here we go!

This is my farewell to you

Bye.

Some facts about Corey.

Hey!

How are you? I hope you're drinking enough water.

As you might have realized from the title, this post is about Corey, or rather random facts about him. I'll tell you right away, there won't be a lot of facts, but I think they describe Corey and his personality very well.

So, let's get to it!

1. Although he can talk, most of the time he prefers to be quiet, sometimes using sign language. He feels more secure or something when he is silent;

2. He found the sword when he was twelve, right after he and Bloom were separated;

3. He ran away from home because of fear, hiding the sword;

4. He has a scarf given to him by Bloom that helps him calm down in moments of anxiety/despair;

5. Born into a family of artisans, he can carve wood and make pottery quite well;

6. Loves animals, but is wary of chickens, as they pecked him as a child;

7. He is sincerely afraid of the king's castle, for certain reasons;

8. Still dreams of making a nightbloom lily out of wood for Bloom;

9. Often begins to despair in himself, but the desire to get his friend back is stronger than his fears;

10. He sees Bloom ONLY as a friend. Very close, but a friend.

I think that's it for today. Hope you're all having a good day!

Bye.

Amour belts out for names (and a little bit of lore).

Hey!

How are you guys doing? I hope all is well.

Today I'm going to tell you a few secrets of the story. Okay, okay, I'll leave the epic phrases at the door, and I guess I'll get to the story!

The idea for this story came to our minds after another discussion about Zelda. We thought: "Why not create our own story inspired by this beautiful work?", and since Zelda is something incredibly important and dear to both L.B. and me, the decision was made immediately.

But why are the main characters named not Link and Zelda, but Corey and Bloom? Well, there are two explanations. The first one is logical, and the second one is from the point of view of the lore (yes, we have thought about this moment too).

The first, logical explanation is: I'm afraid for copyright. Yes, it's so short, but isn't that enough?

And the second one, from a lore perspective, is more interesting.

The point is that in this kingdom, a decree was issued, according to which the names Link and Zelda could no longer be used, in order to avoid repeating the events of the past. According to this decree, anyone who dared to call their child by that name could be imprisoned, or worse. Cruel, but what can you do? You can think of a lot of things under fear.

That's why the royal family gave up the tradition of naming the princess Zelda, and that's why she's called Bloom. And Corey... His parents wanted to name him Link, but the fear of losing their only son was stronger. And with age he would not justify his legendary name, so...

That's why they're called that. But you know who's missing from the holy trio? Of course. Ganondorf. However, I suggest we talk about him in a future post.

And that's it for me! hope I have explained everything clearly and quite logically. This is my farewell to you.

Bye!

Hey!

How are you? I hope you drank enough water today

In this post, we're going to introduce you to the main characters in our story.

Oh, a note before we start, you can tell which one of us is talking by weather the writing is italicized or not! (L.B normal, Amour italicized)

All right, all right, let's get to the point. I hope you love them as much as we do!

Let's start with the Hero of our story, Corey.

In a quiet country home, amidst the shadows of a well-tended forest thicket, in a family of artisans, the soul of a boy named Corey was conceived. Early in his journey through life, he discovered a fondness for literature, nature, and the great stories of the past. However, a shadow of isolation and anxiety crept into his heart due to his difficulty in communicating with others. Often the boy went into the deep woods, carried away by his books, seeking solitude to read and immerse himself in the world of words.

With each passing year, Corey's reticence grew deeper and deeper, and insecurity and anxiety became an integral part of his being. Yet even in his darkest moments, his soul carried the germ of a desire for protection and a desire to be brave.

And so, at the turn of his ninth year, he met Bloom, a girl whose kindness and light penetrated through his gray thicket of anxiety, changing his life. She became not only his friend but also his inspiration, awakening his courage and determination. Bloom, albeit unknowingly, became his soul's guide to a unique world where fears gave way to courage and protection.

Fun Fact: When we started out on this idea, before Corey had a name, he was known between the two of us as "The Hero of Anxiety"! (True)

Now, a little bit about our darling princess, Bloom!

Bloom is the only child to the royal family, and is very sheltered and protected. As a child, she had a big mouth, and loved to talk and be around people. This was not the kind of perfect princess her parents wanted. They believe in a strict social ladder, and did not appreciate her chatting with guards and servents. As she grew older, she became more and more curious, inquiring about things her parents were trying so hard to keep from her. Her parents dreams of having a perfect princess to represent the royal family were crumbling.

So, one day they had enough, and permitted her to explore the forest outside the castle garden, so long as she's not bothering them in the castle. She loved it out there, it was freedom she'd never had before. Still, being the sweet, naive girl she was, she would always come home without question.

One day, when she was eight, she wandered further than usual, and stumbled upon a boy reading a book. Being the social butterfly she was, she was quick to try and talk to him.. and at first, her friendliness was not reciprocated.

But they warmed up to each other and became inseparable. She has never met another child before, he was freeing to be around. Corey had so much knowledge that she didn't know she had been longing for. She was attached to him in a way that she had never been before. They made the perfect match.

Fun fact: I used the Bloom palette when creating the Nightbloom Lily (and yes, the flower's name contains "bloom" for a reason)

Well, that's it! I hope we didn't give you too much of a rambling recap. Of course, in the future there will be more information about behavior, character, etc., but we decided to start here. I hope you will love them

Thank you for reading! <3

Bye!

Hey!

This story is development, in the beginning stages. As already written, this story has two authors, @almost-an-artist and @hiimgin. Most likely, there will be all sorts of developments, thoughts in the ear and some concept art of the future project, but I must warn you! All these ideas may be changed or taken out of the final altogether - because, again, this is just the beginning of the journey, just sketches. I hope this project will get the development it deserves!

Oh, and for the future, you can tell which one of us is talking by weather the writing is italicized or not! (L.B normal, Amour italicized)

This is my farewell to you. Don't get lost!

Bye!
