Sometimes I think about how it would feel for the spirits to wake up in a world so different than the one they left behind...

I also have a headcanon that skykids are a bit creepy from the point of view of the ancestors: Imagine meeting a species that looks like the children of yours, but not quite. They mimic you and learn through that mimicry. I like to think that some ancestors are immediately like "Aww, how cute!" 😊 while others are creeped out and can't understand the people who aren't.

"A weight off their chest"

Recently I had the greatest honor of participating in the fan sky anthology, "Like light through the Prism", hosted by the wonderful @vela-pulsars.

The anthology was created for Sky's Days of Color and Pride month, with talented sky artists and writers coming together to create a breathtaking collection of queer-themed creations, that was given out to people who donated to the Amnesty International charity.

With the distribution of the anthology closed, I am proud to finally present my own work for this lovely project, drawn using the prompt of the color yellow, one of the colors in the pride flag.

Valley Family Portrait (Ethereal star AU)

Before the twins were the elders of their realm, their mother, the Priestess, was it's elder. Her children were kept a secret from the valley and the other realms until her passing...

bonus art and short story under the cut:

In the valley light temple “Mother warned us about you…” Mek sneered.

“Did she now?” The king stood behind the two siblings as they were kneeling at an alter, “Well, the priestess was never fond of me… so it’s not surprising.”

“You know you’re not welcomed here. You may be a king, but you’re not our king.” Sah stood up to face Resh, but he didn’t realize just how massive the king was, “you should leave.” Sah tried to sound threatening.

“May I offer my condolences before I leave?” He gestured to the alter the twins had been grieving at. They both hesitated before nodding. The King kneeled down in front of the priestess’s alter, pulling out a white candle. He lit it with his light magic and placed it in front of the alter. He bowed his head as he uttered a prayer. The twins could only hear parts of the prayer. Once he was done, he turned his attention to the siblings.

“Though she may not have liked me, I admired her and her teachings. I know she believed that I was getting rid of our traditions with my advances, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. We both shared the same goal you see, but it’s my methods she just didn’t approve… when I heard of her passing, I knew I had to visit her alter, though I knew I wouldn’t be welcomed here.” He spoke quietly in a soft tone.

The twins couldn’t help but listen as he spoke, “I also wanted to offer the both of you what I had offered your mother many years ago. That is if you’re willing to listen to what I have to offer.”

The two sat in silence and looked at each other, then to the king. They were curious but at the same time, they were slightly offended he had brought this up here. They whispered to each other for a while before agreeing on something.

“We’ll listen to what you have to say, but if we don’t like it, you can’t ever come back here.” Mek turned to face Resh.

“Understandable.” The king stood up, “What if I could offer your realm advanced medicines, technology and knowledge gathered from the other realms? In return, your realm becomes a part of my kingdom and you’ll have my protection. You’ll still have a say over your realm, but I’ll have the final word.”

The siblings whispered to each other, “exactly what kind of advanced medicines would you be able to offer?” Sah asked.

“Remedies that would heal illnesses, surgeries that can save a life, or improve one and much more.” He paused, “I could even offer a surgery that would give you and your sister a second arm…”

The two of them stared at Resh In disbelief. They were wearing cloaks, so there could be no way he would’ve seen… “How did you know…?” Samekh both were standing now.

“It would be rude of me not to come here without knowing who I was talking to… though it was hard finding anything out about you two. Your mother kept you two well hidden from the public, did she? But it was only to protect you, wasn’t it?”

Before they could have a chance to respond, he continued, “I heard you two love to play sports. I could offer you a chance to get the recognition you deserved. Champions of the arts. My champions even..." he paused and placed a hand on their shoulders, "Imagine a stadium full of your fans, cheering you on. The glory, the fame, the honor... All of this only if you accept to become a part of my kingdom.”

Samekh felt excited by his offers. They whispered with each other for a long time before asking him many questions. The more answers they got from the king, the more they felt excited.

“So, do you accept my offer?”

“Yes. We do.” Samekh was quick to answer.

Resh grinned under his mask, “Wonderful!” He gestured over one of his advisers who had been standing far back. They handed him a stone tablet, “I need both of your signatures for this agreement.” They were quick to sign, not bothering to read what was written on the stone.

“Next week, I’m having a meeting with all the realm leaders. You two will be sent an invitation on the location and time. We can discuss and plan further what changes will happen in your realm. We can also discuss your personal matters afterwards. For now, I’ll leave you two with these.” He handed them a couple of stone tablets with information on them pertaining specifics of what he’d mentioned.

“Welcome to the kingdom.”

The worst characters are the ones were you only get like three pieces of lore about them but the lore is so fascinating and hits your brain at just the right angle to have you behaving like a feral dog in front of your conspiracy theory cork board

OMG TYSM FOR DOING MY LIL RQS! They're si cuteeeee! I wanna pinch Morgott's cheeks and tickle Mogh's beard smm

I hope you have a blessed week ahead of you!

OMG welcome back!! I hope this lil request finds you well! Dw, it's a pretty simple one. Have you ever drawn the Omen Twins in chibi stylee??

Thank you! I remember you! Haha, I've actually never really drawn in chibi style. I tried to way back when I was in middle school and it just was something I could never fit into my style.

Did my best here to get Morgott's face more round to fit chibi style but woof mohg was... tricky, haha

Anyways, did my best! Hopefully it's not horrible lol

[their-dearest]

i think they're both too nerdy/just a guy to aura farm like samekh but this idea wouldnt leave my noggin

I rlly rlly love your short story about veiled morgott !! <3

I was wondering if you had any specific hc about it ? (Appearance, public perception, link with Margit, behavior ect) or maybe even veiled mohg hahaha xD

THIS IS ROUGHLY WHAT I THINK HE LOOKS LIKE (lemme know if I should do a full color and possibly full body of him >v<)

Anyways, on terms of HCs here we GOOOO

wc: 316 (I kept it short and sweet <3) tw: crying (pretty mild)

Veiled

Morgott struggles with his self-worth, we know this. So when you sob as he tries to kiss you while he's in his veiled guise, he is thoroughly shocked. "B-beloved? Hath I done something wrong? Prithee, if I hath hurt thee in any way-" "I don't want to kiss you like this!!" "...Like... what, lovely?" "When you look human!!!" And he just gawks at you as you look at him with big wet eyes, pouting.

Erm so, controversial opinion but he is more confident in his mimic veil form. He feels that this form of him is the "better version" of himself, or what he could have/should have been. Because of this, he will often have the courage to keep you close in semi-public spaces at the very least, keeping his hand on the small of your back and guiding you around. If only he were confident like this as himself...

So I'm sure you've noticed that he has an eye patch in my sketch and this is because I thoroughly believe that mimic veil would still imitate his appearance as closely as possible. He would likely not even have an eye on his right side. Then those side-burn/beard things he has might come in the form of longer pieces in front of his ear etc. etc.

LISTENNNN I know so many people think he's all like, skinny in his mimic veil form but he is pretty built as an omen so I believe (despite the malnutrition in his stomach region) He would have a fairly muscular body as a human/veiled.

Honestly, he's quite attractive with mimic veil (he's better as an omen though imo) and so often times at social events (which he rarely holds) you have to hang off of him to keep other women away from him.

I MIGHT make a second one of these for Mohg but i'm gonna have to brainstorm what he'd look like hmmm

morgott angst i wrote because this man would love so much and i needed to emcompass that somehow. it's not even good but i just. need him to be selfish once. he needs love. angst. just pure angst.

morgott held no reverence for the tarnished. o, but his tarnished. for you, morgott would mourn until the sun and the moon eclipsed and claimed his soul. until the wind withered his body. until the silence became absence. morgott always cursed his birth. he was not truly endowed with grace, was he? how could he prove his misery to the world when there was no one to behold the veiled monarch? how could anyone witness his sorrow if he remained hidden and armed to the teeth? morgott wanted to be a metaphor and leave the stain of agony in his wake. to erase the name of every god that existed from the axis of the universe. the king needed his ancestors to see his grief was greater than the weight of every sin and beg your forgiveness.

there are those who dream of reunion in a thousand lives. not morgott. he only wanted you, and had no desire to wander aimlessly across the surface of another world to find you, yearning until rebirth. he only wanted you, in eternity. you, sculpted by this life. you, who has witnessed all the traces he left behind. you, and all the beautiful things you have said and done. he does not want to find you in another life where you have been altered by the greater will. he knows it to be selfish, yet he is willing to allow you shed more tears in this lifetime than shed his own in another one.

"mine sweet, will thou forgive me? if i deny thee passage to a most merciful afterlife, will thou forgive me? if i am emboldened by the flame of ambition this once and begged thee stay by mine side forevermore, no matter how unforgiving this existence is, will thou forgive me?"

there was nothing morgott could offer, nothing he could give you. so allow him to gift you everything mundane. the things he once could not have will be yours. to stargaze until time became seamless. do not ask things, let silence embrace you.

"every day, i sing prayers that our union is sewn on the history of this world, that we are destined to be."

when morgott whispered your name all those nights ago, it sprouted new life into his lungs. he would say it over and over, basking in your warmth. no amount of kisses would leave him breathless as long as he said your name once more.

let morgott love you with simplicity, for you are his greatest, most painful ache.
