On being Kalina, Sylvaire, and the restoration of a homeland

Sometimes you're a goddess's familiar. And then your goddess dies and becomes a nightmare king, and you're left as a disembodied plague for 850 years while your homeland crumbles into dust and brambles and all the original people who remember Sylvaire as it was age and die, exiled from their homeland where they were immortal, leaving their children and grandchildren to carry the faint memories of the beforetimes.

And then sometimes you decide to solve that problem by kidnapping your old partner's kid and throwing him onto the streets to struggle and survive and then swoop in and teach him how to be your hands in the mortal world (shoutout to Midnight Oil and @thecryptidzenith).

In some worlds, you get defeated and the Nightmare King restored to their original form. And in some worlds... you win. Your boy is a prince and your ancient kingdom is restored and you have a body back and your old partner and his wife to torment and your home to explore.

So why aren't you happy?

your mom is back from the dead. mom? why isn't she talking to you?

The Call

Kalina stood in the deepest part of the castle, alone. The room here was in even more disarray than the rest of the building: the glazed floor tiles bubbling up with tree roots and crazed webs of cracks spread across the stone walls. The roots raced along from the walls to the floor to the centre of the room, then up into a twisting embrace sheltering a polished chunk of obsidian that pulsed with a quiet, steady magic.

She had long since lost track of where the hell she was, having followed too many staircases and passages. She had climbed down enough stairs that she should be deep underground, she had thought, but sunlight streamed in hazy rays through grimy windows.

It had taken weeks of exploration to track down the small chamber Kalina barely remembered from when she was a kitten, padding after Cassandra with a soft ribbon curled around her neck. The corridors had twisted and warped every time she left and returned, leaving her to begin her search again and again as she prowled decaying scent memories from her old life until she was ready to nearly scream in frustration. 

Finally she had given in and wheedled a packet of provisions off their new cook — thank the gods for Leska. If she'd had to put up with another night of spaghetti and jarred sauce served to her by a girl who looked on the verge of emotional collapse, Kalina didn't think she could be held responsible for her actions — and set off to search for three days straight. 

Not like she had much else to do. Riz was doing the hard work around here, nearly buried in it. It was good for him. Kept him busy so he didn’t have time to dwell on the past and all its fuck ups, and it wouldn't do for her boy to get soft and reliant in having her around all the time. 

Plus entertaining herself catching up with her old friends only took up so much time. Sleeping did too. Gods above, it took up so much time. And eating and cleaning herself and that stupid heat that swept over her body and made it impossible to think straight—

Down below in the depths, the weight of centuries pressed down on her, deep in the crumbled heart of what should have been her home. It wasn't what she had had. This wasn't what she had lost. 

The stone hummed. She didn't need to consult Riz about this— or anything.The kingdom was as ready as it would ever be. Word had already started to trickle out and more and more people were showing up, bright-eyed and hopeful and painfully naive, at every border town.

Time to speed things up. Kalina was done being patient. 

Neatly slicing through the pad of her paw with a single sharp claw, she let the blood fall.

She placed one paw on the bramble-encased obsidian and let the feeling flow through her, pouring every drop of homesickness and loss and grief and hiraeth into the stone. She let the longing for what had been and what could be again build until her bones were shaking with it. 

The energy surged, blazing brighter and brighter until Kalina had to throw up a paw to shield her eyes. It splintered into a hundred thousand strands, quivering with eagerness for the command. 

And the call went out. 

~~~

Sandra Lynn staggered, nearly losing her grip on her mug. It was like a hook sunk deep into her insides, slipping past her ribs to anchor into her soul like a fish caught on a line. 

She could hear bells tolling, a chime that smelled like pine and sap and wet earth and the sea salt spray of the ocean. A voice rattled her mind, wordless and beyond language, comprehension beamed directly into her skull. 

come home. come back. bring your families, return to your roots. Sylvaire will welcome you with open arms. 

The pattern on her mug danced, leaching off the porcelain and crawling under her skin. It swirled and writhed and then bloomed into vines, the patterns winding their way from her fingertips up her arms. The movement was hypnotic and Sandra Lynn watched, entranced. 

A tangle of memories knotted in her chest. The scent of baked apples, dusted with spices that couldn’t be found in Solace, bedtime stories about the treants who walked the forests of Sylvaire, wistful tales of the Before Times spoken with the bittersweetness of loss. Drawn-out screaming fights between her parents, the Sylvan spoken too fast and agitated for her to even begin to parse, no matter how much she strained. 

A pounding drumbeat sang in her ears.

home, home, home. come home. build it higher, build it stronger, build it better, build it. come home and live forever. come home and be free. 

Some distant part of her knew that this wasn't real, that it was a vision. But it felt realer than anything she had ever lived. Trees sprung up around her, towering high and dripping with vines and moss. Her kitchen was bursting, roots tearing through the linoleum, petrichor in the air. Motes of light danced in the air, dappled greengold like sunlight filtered through the forest canopy. 

It felt like all she had to do was close her eyes and leap. 

And then it was over, snapped back into her body like nothing had ever happened, like she wasn't standing in her ordinary kitchen with a gaping hole in her chest. Sandra Lynn touched her cheeks and her fingertips came away wet with tears. 

~~~

The light swirled, humming with potential. It danced across the nine winds and tugged on the shirtsleeves of her lost children, peering into their hearts and souls. 

~~~

Alone in a dimly-lit apartment building, a balding man set down his cup of lemon yogurt and let his breath catch in his chest for a second. 

~~~

A young girl firing arrow after arrow after arrow into a paper target, her face set into a scowl. Her hands stuttered as she reached for the next arrow in her quiver. The burning pulse of ruby red crystal shards embedded in her skin cooled for just a moment, the angry red buried in soft moss. 

There must have been a door or a window cracked, further down the hallway. The scent of the sea was rolling in, the smell of the fresh air and salt almost burning her nose. She grabbed another arrow, landing it dead center in the target. 

~~~

A woman paused, her hands midway through kneading dough as the sudden ache and loss flared in her heart, teasing her with promise.  

No thank you, she told it politely. She anchored herself more deeply into the simplicity of the holly tree. Maybe one day. When Danielle was grown, maybe she’d take Winona by the hand and let the green of her ancestors’ homeland fill that little ache in her chest that had been there ever since she had asked her grandmother where she was from…

~~~

Alone in the moss-splotched room, Kalina waited in silence for a long, long time, but nothing happened. Blood dripped quietly onto the tiled floor, drying brown against the tree roots. The loudest thing was the ringing in her ears. 

Closing her eyes, she reached out for her— to the Nightmare King. 

Nothing. Like always. 

Suddenly furious, Kalina kicked a rock, letting her blood pound hot in her muscles and chase away the cold queasiness. Ears flat, she stalked out of the room as the door slammed behind her satisfyingly. Where was the kid? Wasn't it supposed to be cleaning up the rooms around here?

Back with the kaiju au , actually like yeah let’s max the gamara = shinichi more like shinichi having legit conan extension to the detective boys, legitimately going COOL KAIJU?!?? Heck yeah!! Like how the detective boys legit going like we are the projectors of the earth! And shinichi just staring at them like no Or begging shinichi to transform to his actual form and he’s like again no.

shinichi can’t like full blast transform bc heiji will know and be like ?????? Bc both of them have this like feeling when either them transform , you can say they are connected to each other in a sense not 100% but a 50%

Also Conan being 100% separate from shinichi in this au is the legit terrifying child ever like super smart and etc but so lonely and doesn’t fully trust anyone whatsoever bc his family legit dumped him with someone n stuff :)

So the only comfort was yknow mystery novels and also tv but more kaiju media bc ig this conan feels more alined with the big ass monster that nobody understands and keeps attacking and etc etc so when actually like ig meeting said thing he likes he’s super ecstatic and legit rambles and yaps about kaiju media to shinichi when he just stares at conan and just full block ignore bc there’s no way his keeper now is a legit 7 year old that eerie looks like him to a degree which mind you shinichi kinda goes erm that’s not correct at Conan about kaiju stuff and is just back and forth conversation of nuh ahh you can’t be correct because you were sealed away for <insert a lot of years>, it’s just bickering

I think it’ll be funny if heiji and shinichi, especially heiji, seeing conan and just legitimately teasing shinichi that’s his spawn and shinichi immediately of choking heiji on the spot (A friend said it’ll be epic showdown of all time because heiji said that’s shinichi son) but the actual first interaction with heiji and conan is like legit how they met…heiji does not give a damn about this kid like he does later on but currently is like ah shinichi!

Thinking on the heiji and kaito how they live which each other is also an experience. Like aoko actually meeting heiji which Heiji lowkey having a whiplash bc wow she looks like Ran. And Aoko jumping to the conclusion of Kaito secret boyfriend ig bc he isn’t coming over to her house n etc. Which Kaito legit just lies and just being like erm! No actually new transfer student and he’s just staying with me! And like aoko not believing but shrugs I support you even if you’re gay kaito talk moment. Heiji finds this entertaining. In general Heiji does sometimes goes with Kaito at his heist which Kaito is very conflicted but he can like ig use heiji for his advantage or assistance (to heiji dismay) at heist. There is I think one accident that heiji does goes and save Kaito during a heist and does uses his powers and glup, scary!! to the point of harming the attackers to unconscious :3c.

Because what do you do with a non human being whom can level city’s and know how you feeling internally and etc. Heiji is the most chill guy ig in terms of living conditions, same as shinichi, LIKE not fully yknow bc woagj that’s new….need to learn information now!!! Both of them really likes to know/read on new information n stuff so shrugs.

Ig in this au they do fight yknow other big ass kaijus aside from the usual hijinks. Which leads to the heiji and shinichi communicating each other because decades ahh enemies are back again which you have shinichi head in hands and heiji with a headache <3 lmao thought of man re awaken again and this time gonna be a smooth and calm living right? No. Legitimately the back in the building again for both of them.

I feel like they could have taught us more about legal practice in law school. By the time I was in 3L I knew how to write a good essay, but still wasn't very clear on how to draft a good affidavit. Doesn't really make sense to me considering how little essays are used in the profession.

have they said directly in transformers media whether or not conjuxing is fully symbolic and ritualistic or if it's like a full on contract that the government keeps track of much like earth marriage. 'cause i wonder.
