reply roundup!

had to put these on hold for a while for personal reasons </3 they're likely to still be infrequent, but in honor of kirb2k!

(my notes would only load back to mid september so I missed a couple weeks sorry :c but be warned that this is a long one! it's 3 entire months' worth!)

also, reminder that kirb2k ends tomorrow!!! preorders, commissions, and auctions will all close at noon pst on sunday december 17th! everything is linked in the pinned post or filed under the tag kirb2k!

first is one more birthday kirb from my friend @sleepy-sheep-wizard:

Realized halfway thru that I don’t know what Kirby looks like off the top of my head, so I got funky with it. Happy birthday, thank you for being a good friend

thank you again friend <3 getting funky with it is truly in the spirit of just drawing a little guy for fun, I love his little hat in particular.

@violet-dragongirl said: oh! I have been meaning to ask! Have you played Kirby and The Forgotten Lands? I assume you did but just wanted to say that I did about a week ago and I loved it and thought of your art! ^.^ And if you haven't, yes, Carby is super adorable and amazing :3

I have! I got it very shortly after it came out, I had a really good time with it. I've been slowly replaying it recently with my partner, they were kind of fond of kirby just by proxy but since we started playing they adore bandee now and say he never gets enough screen time XD I'm glad you also had fun!

on [mice] @ceylonsilvergirl said: girls like swarms of things, right?

idk bro my wife wasn't so big on it when I got a gig housing 30 mice, but maybe she's weird. I liked them. (sadly one of the best paying jobs I've ever had up until the owner lost it and abandoned them with me, yes I still took care of them for the rest of their little lives) (and yes I also got my wife's okay before I took them on in the first place)

on [covid] @mordantivore said: reading posts from when the era of covid safety was declared anathema and ended is haunting. we were so desperate to find ppl willing to help us stay alive. there are fewer of us now bc “allies” are worthless & more of us have died

yeah. fuck. I'm lucky that the people in closest proximity to me are at least moderately careful, but me and my wife and partner are usually the only ones wearing masks anywhere we go except sometimes the employees and I know they don't always wear them when they're out without me.

on [swim] @northeasternwind said: Jdjdjfkg imagining Kirby being way more bouyant than your average human so them gotta exhale REAL HARD or attach nega-floaties (sinkies?) like weights to dive

on [zelda] @chaos-squared said: Good job!! I’ve had it for longer yet still haven’t completed it ;w;

nothing wrong with that! I only finished it as quickly and thoroughly as I did because I was basically bedridden for all of october, as long as you enjoy the time you do spend with a game it doesn't really matter how much time you spend or how far you get.

(also even if I don't always gather them in the roundup there are names I recognize showing up repeatedly in the tags, some of whom have been here for years, and I'm always glad to see you're still around!)

May as well do this at once and get it over with

Day 1:

Started at: 60kg

Currently at: 47kg

Goal : 43kg

Ultimate goal : 40kg

Honestly I just want my body proportions to look good. If I don't see any stomach fat and actually have a defined waist line maybe I'll be satisfied...

Day 2:

164cm , I don't mind it but I wish I was a taller

Day 3:

I've posted this before but I'm in love with everything. The tiny waist, how incredibly flat her stomach is , no large bulging thighs and flawless skin texture.

Day 4:

Being forced to stop or not being able to lose any more

Day 5:

I've always been the chubby girl in my family, but I didn't mind until I started noticing how big I was getting and how much smaller everyone else was. My medium clothes couldn't fit and I had to start wearing large. When I looked down all I could see was fat. Even family members commented on it but in a light hearted manner. When I downloaded tiktok it really opened my eyes to how large I looked in comparison to very pretty girl on my fyp so I decided to change that during quarantine.

Day 6:

Kind of. I would binge for a whole month then hyper restrict for another. I've started to stop that now and I rarely binge except once a week where I'm forced to as I'm visiting family who shove food down my throat

Day 7:

They don't know my goals but they've noticed I've lost weight and are starting to get suspicious and try to force me to eat more

Day 8:

I used to follow a Chloe Ting 2 week ab program but elongated it to be for a couple of months. I don't work out anymore since I got busy but we've just bought an excersise bike which I plan to use every other day

Day 9:

I remember a moment where my cousin came and pinched my stomach and called me pregnant. Felt like crap after and had to hyper restrict the next day.

Day 10:

Sugar, oil and bread.

Day 11:

I don't follow enough to have one but I enjoy most of them

Day 12:

I live with my parents so I have to eat with them at lunch which is usually chicken and rice or curries and rice. For dinner and breakfast I'm in control and try to make low calorie meals.

Day 13:

I mean .... I'm here aren't I. I'd guess un-healthy but I do try to not eat under 800 cals just because I need energy for school

Day 14:

40kg and hopefully soon! Maybe a month and a half. My body takes a while to lose weight in general so we'll have to see.

Day 15:

No but I do avoid beef which may have helped. I'd love to be pescatarian though

Day 16:

Around quarantine

Day 17:

I would say no because I think I'm still in control. Like I know that eating 300cals a day is bad for you so I don't think I'll ever reach that point

Day 18:

Anything carby like pasta or pizza...

Day 19:

A month ago ✨

Day 20:

I haven't tried out any fad diets but if I ever do it'll probably be intermittent fasting

Day 21:

Small

Day 22:

This is my lowest weight ever

Day 23:

Yea... tiktok and my Pinterest feed

Day 24:

They make me uncomfortable. You should never be pro a mental disorder but I understand why people use it and tag with it. I don't think I'm going to.

Day 25:

No I have sensitive teeth so I'm afraid I'll ruin them because I'll get addicted

Day 26:

Not having to worry whether I'll gain weight easily. Fixing one ugly part about me. Having an hourglass figure. Being seen as petite.

Day 27:

I use my sheer will power to refuse it but sometimes it's inappropriate to do so cause they'll worry so I eat and burn it off later or I'll plan my eating a day ahead. I like cooking and baking and being around food though so I typically make things for other people so I'm not tempted to indulge. And my stupid brain enjoys the idea of fattening those around me while I stay thin?? It's very stupid and effed up but it makes me feel better and I hate it. Occasionally I'd let myself eat something if it'll prevent a binge

Day 28:

No I don't really like them but I do want smaller thighs in general

Day 29:

Beauty is subjective but these are the traits I find beautiful;

- curly or wavy hair

- hourglass figure

- flat stomach

-even skin texture

- body is hairless

- no pore in sight

- straight white teeth

- coloured eyes ( including light browns)

- no acne or acne scars

- no eye bags

But sometimes I find people beautiful even when they don't fit this standard in my head

Day 30:

I have a cat, I like to sing (badly) , I wanna be a doctor one day (ironic), love to draw and doodle, bilingual, avid anime watcher, I read more fan fiction than fiction , enjoy martial arts, scared of porcelain dolls.

Chasing the Void [RP Story] Part 1

Haukke Manor Excursion

Previous Story < > Next Story

((A little backstory – at a bar open night Velkan visited, asking for work. Mina hired him, and conducted his bartender training. Morgana had spoken to her in private, letting her know of Velkan’s past a little and that he had given a fake name. Nonetheless, Mina allowed him to work and her, Silvy and Vel worked together at the Moonfire event. Now, over a week after that event played the events of the Haukke Manor excursion.))

Arriving back at the bar with bags laden with supplies for this weekend’s open night, Mina was drawn to Silvy, who was sat in the entrance hall looking rather glum. She sat down on the sofa next to her, dropping off the bags by the desk.

“Oh, hey Mina.” Silvy smiled weakly as Mina sat down next to her.

“Hey! Is everything okay?”

“W-well... I would like to say yes, but…” Silvy looked away thoughtfully. “I'm kinda worried about Vel. We haven't heard about him for a while...”

“Hmm... honestly I haven't seen him in days.” Mina agreed. “Did he not come to the bar on Sunday?” Silvy shook her head.

“No, he did not.” Mina frowned at the information.

“I would have expected him to leave a notice or send a letter concerning it, but...” Silvy looked back at Mina, concern in her eyes.

“It's not like him.” Mina pondered for a moment. “Especially since he wants the work.”

“Yeah... I hope what happened before isn't affecting it.”

“What do you mean, what happened before?” Mina looked to Silvy, concerned.

“N-Nevermind, I'm speaking out of line.” Silvy was clearly flushed, her cheeks blushing slightly. “A-anyways! He usually slept by upstairs, right? Maybe he left us a letter there or something!”

“Yeah, he picked the bed near the bookcases if I remember right.” Mina nodded. “Should we really be snooping his belongings though?”

“There might be something that could explain why he's gone missing.”

Both Mina and Silvy looked to the ground, thinking hard about the decision.

“Well, he could be in danger!” Mina eventually spoke. “Why else would he not contact us?”

“You're right...” Silvy bowed her head, before standing up. “We'll just have a quick looksee.”

Mina nodded, and stood up also. Together the two Miqo’te went upstairs to inspect the bed room, and poked around the left-most bed nearest the bookcase. Velkan’s bag lay under the bed, half open with a few clothes items poking out, and a small book. Mina picked it up, inspecting the cover.

“Hey.....what's this?” Mina held the book up for Silvy to see.

“Hmm? A book?”

“It looks like some sort of journal maybe.”

“H-Hey now...” Silvy raised her arms slightly in shock. “You should place that aside.”

Mina opened the book a little.

“I mean, it just has private things of himself, probably nothing...” Silvy began to panic as Mina started flicking through pages of the book. “W-we shouldn't be!” Silvy tried stepping forward to Mina but stumbled and fell on the bed, leaving Mina to continue reading.

“There's what looks like hunts!” Mina was getting excited at her findings. Mina flicks to another page in the book, and almost drops it.

“W-what?” Silvy looked worried, trying to peer over the book.

“These things look scary! It's like, demonic.” Mina holds out the book for Silvy to see. Inside were detailed drawings and descriptions of dark monsters, the kind only known as Voidsent. The descriptions also had notes on possible locations, as well as power and physical looks.

Silvy tilted her head and moved over to look at the book. “Demonic?”

“What do they call them again? Void things?” Mina had never seen such creatures in anything other than horror stories.

“I actually know of them…” Silvy bit her lip, thinking deeply. “Well, something like of the sort.”

“You do?” Mina’s eyes opened wide.

“While doing my research over magic, I've come across these type of creatures. They seem to be drawn over to magical energy, the more powerful, the more and stronger of them you draw to yourself.”

Mina turned more pages in the book, looking for more information. “Seems there's a map with markings on too...”

“Does it seem like any place you've been to before?”

“The far west of Central Shroud, it looks like he's been hunting the things!” Mina studied the location, remembering her past experience. “Well, once back when I would travel the shroud I ventured near that area.”

“Anything special or strange about the place?”

“There's a lot of creepy monsters, and a manor, which looks like the sort of place that would have demonic things.” Mina lowered the book to face Silvy. “And it looks like that's where Vel could be hunting them!”

“A manor?” Silvy gazed upon Mina in deep reflection.

“It's all abandoned now, but I never dared go inside....” Mina looked concerned. “Do you think we should go scout it out and see if he's there?”

“I think so...”

Mina suddenly bristled with excitement. “Ooh, an adventure!”

“But before we go... let me do something for us. Close your eyes for a moment.” Silvy slowly started chanting quietly, before the huge head of a dreadwyrm would appear by her. It seemed to go unnoticed by Mina, who had her eyes closed. “Bahamut's protection...”

“I don't really know what that was but.... okay!” Mina pondered.

“Just a protective spell.” Silvy smiled, and gave a little wink

“Hang on, let me get changed too! I can't be going out there in shorts!” Mina dashed behind the wardrobe to change clothes into something more suitable. She returned wearing a bandana over her head, a light cotton shirt, comfortable trousers and long boots, her rapier strapped to her waist. She showed her outfit to Silvy. “Think I'm good to go?” She asked.

Silvy nodded, smiling. She looked to her own outfit, a rather fancy looking jacket with skirt and simple boots. “I'm good like this. But I will need my... pet.” She began writing in her journal, magics glowing by her as her whittret friend would turn to a ball of light. An Emerald Carbuncle would appear in its place.

“You sure the carbie can handle this?” Mina smiled at the glowing creature.

“He was made for this” Silvy nodded. “Even if he is an old drunk, right Carbie?”

The carbuncle would seem more then displeased by the idea, but wished to be there for its master.

Mina psyched herself up. “Alright! I know the way, follow me!” Silvy smiled, and followed Mina out of the house.

Mina, atop her horse and Silvy, riding upon her Carbuncle, rode together through the Shroud with Mina in front leading the way. She had of course ventured out this way many a time when she was a little younger, but had never dared to get as close to the manor as they were planning today. As they neared the western side of the Central Shroud, the monsters around them grew in both size and strength, but none seemed to be bothering the girls on a mission. Eventually they pulled up to the large iron gates that surrounded the abandoned mansion.

“This is it...” Mina climbed down from her horse. Silvy was looking gloomy.

“I can sense a lot of dark energy coming from this place...” Silvy shuddered slightly, and the Carbuncle also looked visibly unhappy.

“We'll be okay!” Mina, ever cheerful, even drew her blade just in case. The Carbuncle let out a small growl. “Does it sense something?”

“Probably...” Silvy looked ahead, and was taken aback by two dead bodies of monsters on the path. It looked like voidsent. “A fiend...” She wondered. “Shall I take care of them?”

“They look dead…” Mina walked up to the dead bodies, looking for any trace of what killed them. Their bodies were covered in huge slash marks.

“Hmm… could it another monster?” Silvy turned to Mina.

“No, no... Hang on a second, they're covered in slashes, but it's too clean cut to be a monster. It's more like a blade's doing.”

“Then, Vel most likely? Since who else would dare set foot here?”

“If it were from a blade, they're still recent too. So whoever it was, they're probably still here...”

Silvy nodded. Mina drew her blade again, and tentatively took a step forward. As she did so, a figure emerged from the manor, running towards them. It looked like a soldier. Silvy took out her book, but looked surprised at the soldier. She stopped him in his tracks.

“Excuse me!” She held out an arm to stop the soldier from escaping.

"L-Let me go! I have to get away from here!" The soldier was visibly panicking, and possibly injured.

“What's in there?!” Mina kept her blade readied, doing her best to intimidate. “Have you seen a man with dark hair?”

Silvy tried to keep a stern hold of the soldier, so he wouldn't slip by them.

"Let me go! The voidsents will kill all of us! And that... t-thing that ran in after us...!"

“Thing?” Mina wondered if he was talking about Velkan. She lowered her blade, intrigued.

“You need to calm down... we're here to help.” Silvy attempted to call the soldier’s bluff. “We were sent here to investigate on what's going on, you see.”

"This thing... it looked like man but fought like a beast! I'm not sticking around to find out what it wants!” The soldier didn’t wait to explain more. He ran past as Silvy stepped aside.

“Well, we didn't get much out of him, but I believe we'll need to venture inside.” Silvy scratched her head a little.

“What do you think? Could Vel fight 'like a beast'?”

“I do not know for certain... But we need to go and see for ourselves.” Silvy smiled at Mina. “Also if there are more soldiers like him just follow what I said... that we were sent here. Otherwise they might not let us through.”

Mina nodded. “We take it slow.” Silvy sent the Carbuncle to clear the way for them, taking down monsters as they slowly walked towards the manor door. Mina does her best to control her breathing as they edge closer to it.

“Man, it's been far too long since I did anything like this...”

Silvy began to be covering her mouth and nose with a scarf. “The air coming from inside is full of taint…”

“...Should I be breathing that stuff in??” Mina was alarmed, now wishing she too had brought a scarf.

“Don't worry, it's just a bad smell! Be happy that you can't smell it.” Silvy chuckled. “It shouldn't affect our bodies though.”

“Well.... shall we?” Mina pushed against the entrance, slowly. The door creaked open, and the smell grew stronger as the two entered the mansion. As they stepped inside, the door behind them swung to a close, the noise crashing throughout the place.

“Urgh...” Silvy staggered at the atmosphere of the manor. “See anything?”

“There's people up ahead!” Mina ran up towards another soldier, who was visibly shaken. “Excuse me-“ She was cut off by the soldier screaming and pushing her out of the way to escape. Mina shouted out, but he was already gone.

“Jumpy aren't they?” Silvy exclaimed.

“Something has frightened them...”

“Maybe we should let them be.” Silvy turned towards the grand staircase.

“Let’s go further in.” Mina and Silvy began climbing the stairs, weapons at the ready. One of the pathways up the stairs was blocked by a large amount of furniture, forcing the two to venture to the right. There was also a large amount of corpses from dead voidsent, some in piles along the halls, all with the same large slash marks. There was blood streaked along the floor, some old, but most of it fresh. Mina and Silvy kept their weapons out, but had no need to use them yet.

“I was expecting more monsters though...” Mina looked around, the hallways were empty save for the dead bodies.

“Yeah, only corpses and what remain of them.” Silvy’s carbuncle was in front, scouting the area.

“Someone is definitely here.” Mina felt uneasy.

“I have a bad feeling about this.” Silvy and Mina looked to each other with worried faces, before continuing on. They encountered more empty rooms with voidsent remains, and a few doors that were heavily chained, causing them to find another route. In another room, they encountered an old looking chest.

“Is that... treasure?” Mina bolted for the chest, but realised it could be a trap. “On second thought... It's tempting, but maybe someone could trap us.”

Silvy moved closer to inspect the chest. “I can't really tell, it has a strong aura about it, but this whole mansion is covered in darkness.” The Carbuncle moved over and opened it up for the two, not being afraid of what’s to come. Mina and Silvy stepped back in shock as a horrifying creature leapt from the chest. Silvy’s eyes widened.

“Run!” She shouted, grabbing Mina by the hand and racing for the door, looking frantically for an escape route. There in the room stood a strange crystal ball covered in a dark aura. “Touch it!” Silvy shouted, reaching forward to touch the crystal. Mina followed suit, and the two were teleported to another location in the manor, away from the voidsent safely.

As they emerged from the teleportation, Silvy was knocked back by the force of it. Mina rushed over to check she was okay.

“I’ll be... fine… just feel even more unwell…” Silvy reached out for Mina’s hand, and was helped back onto her feet.

“I brought a potion with me, if you want to drink it?” Mina motioned to a small pouch hanging from her belt.

“N-Not yet… If i'm wrong sadly... I’ll need it later on, since the deeper we seem to be going, the stronger this evil darkness is growing…” Silvy shivered.

The two continued on, approaching a magical barrier blocking their entrance into a room. Moving on, they saw more dead bodies down the hall, signifying they were on the right track. They eventually reached a large room, likely a ballroom with cupboards full of crockery and a large open space. At the end of the room were two chests, and Mina and Silvy decided to leave them be after the last one proved dangerous. They reached another teleportation crystal ball, and touched it to move further into the manor. Upon arrival Silvy staggered, rushing to a corner of the room to throw up.

“There is a strong presence here.” She said eventually. “It's the thing that's causing the whole mansion to feel like this.”

“Are you alright?” Mina was concerned for Silvy.

“I can't say yes anymore…” Silvy smiled weakly. “But, we need to find Vel.”

“Let's hurry and get this over with!”

They ventured further on, this time the teleporter had taken them to the dungeon part of the manor. One of the cells had a large variety of torture equipment, and Mina was horrified. Silvy however, was intrigued, and found herself walking up to the machines. Despite Mina warning her, she climbed onto the machine to inspect it. The machine is old and rusted, but suddenly it began to rumble, the blades coming to life and starting to spin!

“Silvy!” Mina rushed forward to pull Silvy away from the machine. Silvy managed to jump out of the way quickly, and stumbles to the ground.

“I told you to be careful!” Mina helped Silvy to her feet.

“I didn't expect for it to work…”

“You're not hurt are you?”

“No.. luckily only my pride was hurt.” The Carbuncle hid its face in its tail.

The girls were reaching the end of the manor, at the end of the dungeon halls they saw a figure lying on the ground. Face down and surrounded by blood. The Carbuncle growled.

“Is that Vel?” Mina walked cautiously towards the figure.

“Is that his blood?”

“Is he.....dead??” Mina began to panic. Silvy knelt down to check his vitals. His body was covered in slash marks and cuts. He was still alive, but only just. His hair was also changed, what was once all black now has white on the tips.

“He's still alive, but barely.”

“Oh thank gods…” Mina breathed a sigh of relief. “What do we do?”

“We should try healing his wounds.” Silvy opens her book, and channels her magic to cast a healing spell on Velkan.

"W...wha...where...?" Velkan opened his eyes, groaning in pain as he tried to move.

“He's awake!” Mina bent down to help him get up. “Careful now, don't strain yourself!” He slowly manages to sit up. Now the two could see the extent of the damage on him, there were bruises and cuts all over his face as well as his body. Mina was shocked. Silvy remained standing a little further away.

"S-Silvy? Mina?" Velkan looked around. "I... what are you two doing here?"

“That's what we should be asking you.” Silvy replied.

“We haven't heard from you in days! We were worried…” Mina looked concerned.

"D-days? but I only..." Velkan seemed confused, trying to remember what was happening. The Carbuncle sniffed at him, growling again and running back to Silvy’s side. "H-how did you two find me?"

“We found your journal.” Silvy answered. Mina looked away awkwardly. “It gave us a small clue that we ended up taking…”

"O-oh... you read it..."

“Not all of it! Just the part about you hunting here.” Mina flapped her arms in panic.

“Mind explaining yourself to us?” Silvy sounded annoyed. “If you even are who you claim to be…”

“Silvy…” Mina looked at her in surprise.

“Mina, get a bit back.” Silvy warned as Velkan slowly stood up.

“But he's our friend?” Mina was confused.

“Voidsent can mimic the appearances of those around us. He could be one of them in disguise…”

"Now isn't the time for this..." Velkan sighed. He looked to Silvy. "Does your Carbuncle smell the void?"

“It does and I can see it. It's oozing out of you.”

Velkan sighed again and looked away. "Then why didn't you say anything before?"

“Because, I wasn't sure of what I was seeing back then and it wasn't this strong as now. I hoped I was wrong.”

“Wait... you know what's going on?” Mina looked to Silvy.

“I had a guess… Either he's voidborn, or… he's tainted.”

“Velkan.... is this true?” He looked down in shame.

"It is... I'm tainted... and my name isn't Velkan..."

“Well... I knew about the name.” Mina muttered.

“Care to explain yourself?” Silvy asked again.

"We don't have time for this..." Velkan repeated "There's a huge voidsent here and I mean to kill it."

“Oh, I think we do! Because if you-” Silvy paused. “So... you're not the source of this evil after all?”

"Didn't you see the bodies?" Velkan motioned to the dead voidsent littering the mansion.

“All over. Was that you?” Mina asked. Velkan nodded. “So how did you get so injured?”

"The voidsent I was hunting managed to overwhelm me... and most of my... energy... was gone by then. But now after being healed... I can kill it..."

“You're not going to face it alone though.” Silvy stepped towards the doorway to the final cell, where this voidsent presumably was.

"You two better get out of here…”

“We're not leaving without you.” Mina disagreed with him.

“If killing this creature will clear out this disgusting taint…” Silvy furrowed her brow.

"It will... for now anyway... this place always becomes tainted..."

“Then, let's get this dealt with.”

Velkan sighed again, knowing that the girls’ minds would not be changed. He felt guilty, and shameful. "Just stay behind me."

The three drew their weapons, and entered the room. A terrifying voidsent descended upon them, shrieking with glee. Velkan ran forward, his greatsword glinting in the light as he swung it towards the monster. The Carbuncle dashed in, attacking the beast as Silvy cast her magic. Mina rushed forward to slice the creature with her rapier. She was struck with an attack which threw her back, but the voidsent was equally struck by Velkan’s blade, and it fell to the ground. Silvy ran up to Mina, checking she was alright.

“Mina? You ok?”

“I'm....okay I think. That hurt me pretty badly…” Velkan looked away from the two.

Silvy, who seemed to be doing a far lot better now, that the source of the void energy was vanquished, began casting a warm light onto Mina to heal her wounds. Mina smiled as she recovered. Silvy turned towards Velkan.

“Now then… you ready to talk?”

“Let's get him back to the bar.” Mina suggested.

"We'll go to the bar... and I'll tell you everything..."

“Let's get inside and I'll get us all some tea.” Mina welcomed the two into the house, after their journey back. “Let me go get changed as well, you guys can sit in the comfy seats.” Mina made a pot of warming tea on the stove, and carried it on a tray with three teacups. Silvy and Velkan made their way to the bar downstairs, finding a table in the corner to sit at. Mina followed them, placing the tray on the table and pouring out the tea. The Carbuncle, while no one was looking, had found itself a bottle behind the bar to which it began licking the alcohol from. Velkan reluctantly took a cup of tea and sipped from it. Silvy stared at it a while, before picking it up. Mina sat down, taking a deep drink and relaxing herself.

“So, care to explain yourself now?” Silvy asked, watching Velkan carefully. He sighed, before taking another sip of his tea.

"I... well... a while ago... I was possessed... by a voidsent..." Silvy and Mina remained silent. "It... it took everything from me... and even after it was slain.. its taint still lingers..."

“You sure it was slain?” Silvy concentrated on Velkan. “As I wouldn't call this... a lingering presence anymore.”

"The Warriors of Light themselves killed it... and well... believe me or not, I died in the process..."

“So you were resurrected?”

"Indeed-"

Silvy stood up suddenly and took her book out from her waist.

“Silvy!” Mina called out to her, surprised. Velkan’s eyes narrowed.

“You do know that necromancery is forbidden.” Silvy spoke, danger in her voice. “No matter the case.”

“ I'm sure he wasn't the one to do it!” Mina was beginning to feel uneasy again.

"Even if the mother crystal had a hand in it?" Velkan replied. Silvy grumbled. "That's right. Hydaelyn herself brought me back... but at a price."

“Which was?”

"You know of what happens when we all eventually perish?"

“Our souls get taken to the after life…” Silvy voiced.

"Well, because of my taint... I can never go back to the aether or whatever after life may await us..." Velkan answered. "I'm forced to live with that. Knowing I can never find peace… Knowing I can never see my wife and child again.”

Mina looked down, feeling glum. “So that was... the accident?” She asked.

"You've spoken to Morgana haven't you?"

“I- um...” Mina looked up, her cheeks flushed as she’d been found out. “She spoke to me…”

"Morgana and the other Warriors of Light... they're the reason I'm like this... if it wasn't for them, I could be back in Ishgard... living a normal life..." Velkan scowled.

“She… still regrets what happened.” Mina looked down at her hands, fidgeting slightly.

“They should have finished the job if you ask me... Even if the mother crystal brought you back.” SIlvy hissed. “Even if there was a 'purpose' for you yet. You should have chosen to stay dead.”

“Silvy!” Mina spluttered.

“Yet you made the choice to live.” Silvy continued, as Velkan clenched his fist. “You! Made the choice to abandon them!”

“Silvy…” Mina was being ignored in the confrontation.

"Do you know the real reason I chose to live? The real reason I chose the live of an abomination rather than being at peace?!" Velkan stood up, towering over Silvy.

“No. Cause no reason should be enough for it.”

Mina was feeling uncomfortable in the tension. “Guys...please calm yourselves...”

"I made this choice so I could hunt down every last Voidsent in this realm and stop what happened to me, happening to anyone else. I won't allow another monster like me to exist."

“Then you should have left that to us who still live. You just joined them, becoming that which killed your family.” Silvy challenged. “No matter how many of them you slay. No matter how many of them you send back. You will not be able to save anyone.”

Velkan slapped her, without a moment’s hesitation.

“Guys, PLEASE!” Mina shouted, panic rising higher in her voice, looking from one to the other.

“My point exactly.” Silvy said simply, her brows furrowed.

"I don't see any of you fighting the void... Not that any of you could handle it... your bodies and minds are weak to the void..."

“Weak?” Silvy scoffed at him. “You don't know anything…” She snapped her fingers, calling over the Carbuncle. “You're more one with the void then you believe 'Vel'. You say you're in control, but that remains to be seen.” She placed her hand over her reddened cheek. “If you dare harm Mina or anyone else while i'm gone… you'll wish that the void was the only thing you were facing.”

Velkan was lost for words as Silvy turned on the spot, and left the bar. Mina called after her, but she was already gone. Her eyes brimming with tears, she darted off to her office and locked herself in. Velkan was left standing alone in the bar, holding back tears of his own.

Wow, this is awkward and boy, oh boy am I crap?! I mean seriously. It’s been another month that has made me wonder if the God’s are after driving me down into the path of insanity. Thankfully my health is on the mend but now comes the mammoth task of catching up with all my jobs. I’ve sent a car full of bags and boxes of unneeded bits and bobs to the charity shop, I’ve done the little fiddly jobs that somehow I never have time for in-between going to my day job and taking care of the girls.

I’ve spent as much time as possible playing and cuddling my girls and attempted to at least squeeze in one blog post a week. I had so many ambitious ideas but perhaps I should tone them down for now. Family first, followed by life in general then my blog. In that order. I am however hopeful that now I am almost back on track with my priorities, I can start REALLY sinking my teeth into my fun little hobby.

Toddle was ‘helping’ me write a review…. Review FINALLY nealy done. just proof read and post! Next few days…

Now for the embarrassing bit of looking at last month’s aims. Spoiler alert: not much got done! Oh well, sometimes you can only do what you can do… Or in my case, what my body will allow me to do.

Blog: Write at least two blog posts a week, ideally three. One recipe and maybe two miscellaneous; that will probably be parenting/ crafting/ review related. I have at the very least managed some recipes. Wooo! I’m not entirely sure if it counts if I was cooking anyway but at least some content popped up on my site and made it seem like perhaps I had some kind of plan of action. Some other posts happened and I have six almost ready to go posts but sadly life always takes priority so they haven’t yet made the final cut.

Finish at least two more crochet tutorials, including video. I won’t be posting them up until I have at least ten ready, then it will be a weekly event, posted on a Sunday for your viewing pleasure. Ready yourself for the broad Northern English accent. Nope. Sorry. Not even finished one but have scripted it so that kind of counts right? Right? Set up my YouTube account and make it look both pretty and functional. Only one video on there so far… Sigh….. Not even uploaded my logo on to it yet…

One crochet pattern typed up and posted with photos. I have an idea for a lacy scarf. We shall see if it pans out the way that I hope it will. Halfway there with this one but sadly I have managed to lose my 5mm crochet hook but when my new one arrives I can complete this project and delight a toddler with a new hat and matching scarf set.

Hit 300 followers on my Facebook page. Close but no cigar. I’m not great on Facebook but if you want to assist me on my way to the noble goal of 300 followers then here is the link. Thank you, much appreciated!

Spend at least 10 hours a week creating content and write at least 500 words a day. Barely had time this month to manage 2 hours a week but going to try to make a few more happen soon. Health and kids depending!

Get an honest update and new set of aims ready for the first of October. Sooooo……. We are still in October so it kinda counts right? Right…?

Flowers to brighten my week.

Peek a boo!

Real life Start learning how to draw. I doodled a stick person and a house to try to explain to concept of Santa to a toddler. I’m going to count it as practice and a good step towards my goal of decent scribbles. It’s not delusional if I know I’m kidding myself.

Spend more time playing with the girls. I have accomplished this. This was my primary parenting goal because I always seem to get so caught up with work and getting things done I sometimes don’t slow down enough to show my girls that they are my world. Last month I made sure to spend as much time as possible down on their level, playing with blocks, Duplo, reading, singing and whatever other games took our fancy. It’s been wonderful and I’ve STILL managed to get my house back to rights after a few months of epilepsy madness. Double win.

I know that they were never exactly starved of attention and I always took plenty of time out of my day for them but I feel I have a much better balance now that I am allowing myself to occasionally drop the ball in less important areas of life. Happier girlies and happier mummy. Still, need to work on this a bit more but it takes time to break the habits of a lifetime.

Try and prevent days of low mood. Mostly a success. Lots of cappuccinos in cafés and playtime with the girls. It’s so easy to feel down when your disabilities are acting up but I have tried very hard to boost myself up. Yes, I feel like a failure sometimes and yes, I wish I could do all the things that other people can do but at the end of the day, I am quite lucky. I can walk with the use of a stick or whatever else to lean on. I can manage to mostly take care of myself and the girls. Can’t bathe myself or them without my partner at home because of epilepsy but that’s a small price to pay for their’s and my own’s safety. I have had low days but I am feeling a lot more optimistic in recent weeks. All things considered, I’m doing great!

My girls after an Autumn walk. 50% chance of naps.

Read at least one book a fortnight. Hahahahaha. I’ve read some of ‘Free’ by Fiona Morgan and that was some quite pleasant hours snatched here and there for my own relaxation. I’d forgotten how much I love a good book and three seconds without the human monster trucks climbing all over me. Ahhhh, bliss!

Give up caffeinated coffee. Tea can stay for now. I’m down to 2/6 cups of caffeinated coffee a day and a mug of tea. For me, that’s practically cold turkey. The headaches have been interesting but I have been dealing with epileptic headaches anyway so you know… Might as well do both!

Cut right back on the sugar and eat less junk food. Pizza, I’m looking at you (while drooling). One fake away a month is allowed now. My thighs will thank me later even if my PMS is growling menacingly and threatening death and destruction on all who come near without some kind of sweet or carby offering to tame the beast. Poor Partner…

Find a better work/ blog/ family balance which benefits me, my daughters and my partner. I love them so much! Progress is happening but it’s a tricky one to balance. I’m a bit rubbish at organising myself so this was always going to be a challenge. My girls are getting more attention and are loving it so there’s that, at the very least.

Talk more openly about my emotions. Errrrm, No. Too hard.

Tell myself five things that make me great every morning and another five that make me so very lucky. I have been trying to spin a positive light on most things but I’m quite a negative person so my brain likes adding ‘but’ after each sentence. It’s slowly being trained out of it but I think that this will take plenty of time.. I will keep you all posted on how I get on. Here’s hoping for a fantastic and productive month.

New aims to keep me going until the start of December:

Blog:

Finally, catch up on my workload after the past few months of being ill. I’m getting there slowly but honestly, it’s getting embarrassing!

Sort out all of my social media accounts. Update Facebook and make it look nicer. Get my Instagram up and running and get at least a small following. Ditto on my YouTube and finally reach 10,000 followers on my Twitter.

Have a consistent blog schedule that includes 2-3 posts a week and some social media updates.

Look into going self-hosted so that I have more control over my site design and what I can include.

Have fun!

Life:

Keep calm and happy.

Spend plenty of time with my girls.

Find a good work/ life balance.

Get Xmas sorted!

That’s about it if I’m honest.

Sorry for being away so much this month, thanks for reading and have a fantastic Halloween! If you have enjoyed my post, then please consider following me on: Twitter Instagram and Facebook
