WAIT A MOMENT How much does Tobias know about his curse? If I understand correctly he knows about the fairy prophecy (?), but he does not possess the information that his father was a human...
Wait
Does Tobias think he got cursed JUST because his unknown father once rejected a fairy?
Btw I absolutely adore your characters and the way you introduce us to their stories step by step, please keep up the amazing work!!
That's correct!
Stefan and Elisa told him a fairy was in love with his dad and he wouldn't leave his mother for her, so she got so mad she cursed Toby.
Yeah, of course he thinks that's very dramatic and unnecessary, but fairies are famous to curse those who wrong them in some way, imps try to never anger a fairy and to be in good terms with them at all times. Many fairies take advantage of their power, as sources of all magic, and make irrecoverable things just for being angered at someone.
So Toby didn't really find that soooo absurd, but he still sorrows that his father was so unlucky to have met such a cruel woman with such a strong power.
(And omg thank you so much 😭😭 I can be very insecure about my story and characters sometimes, so those words are a truly relief!)
Eu simplesmente AMO como o Toby fica quando ele faz alguma merda (não traumatizante) perto do Brad. Ele fica igual quando um filho faz besteira perto da mãe só esperando receber a bronca KKKK
SIM KKKKKKKKKKK ele é literalmente um diabinho que vive pra dificultar a vida do coitado do Brad, mas eles se dão super bem independente, agora um não sabe viver sem o outro ❤️
Agora, a pergunta q nn quer calar: por que o Toby roubou o livro?
MEU DEUS eu achei que já tinha dito isso em algum lugar, mas dei uma procurada aqui e nada de achar o link disso pq eu NUNCA EXPLIQUEI DJKSKJDSKJDS MALZ bora lá
My bud here asked a very important question: why Tobias stole a very sacred and important book?
The short answer is: because Tobias has a curse and he wanted to find a cure.
OMG HOW- calm down, first things first.
As I said before, when Alex and Elisa started to take their relationship more seriously, Alex would hang out in the Colony using a shrinking potion and preteding to be an imp. He was well accepted as one by Elisa's fellow imps and fairies and they never had many problems with his disguise.
But there was this one, powerful, envy fairy who took notice that something about Alex was... off.
She started to do her own investigations and ended up finding the truth out: Alex was no imp, but a human in disguise. Although, to her, this was actually very good news.
Why? Because this fairy - Irwalia - comes from a family that has been preaching an ancient propecy over a century now. Said prophecy omens that, one day, a being with the strongest of souls - a fairy soul - and the strongest of bodies - a human body - would be born to free the Colony from it's decades of war.
There are a lot of fairy families that preach this prophecy till this day, but all of them are taken as delusionals by most of the Colony's inhabitants. It's impossible to have a being that has a different soul from it's body, it just can't happen. But they hold onto their beliefs firmly regardless.
When Irwalia learned the truth about Alex, she couldn't help but be ecstatic: she had finally found a human inside the Colony's walls. And, if SHE was the one who discovered him first, then she must be the one meant to give birth to this prophetic child… right?
In a vengeful and spiteful spirit, Irwalia decided to not report Alex to the Colony's authorities, but instead take her anger out on what the human and his imp wife treasured the most: their only child.
Alex and Elisa didn't took long to find Toby, afterall she wanted to take her revenge in front of them...
Irwalia cursed Toby with something that not only breaked Alex's heart, but made the child defenseless if he ever encountered a human: if in close proximity to a human, Toby is completely unable to do any kind of magic.
This may not sound like a big deal, but imps, especially imp borrowers, take great advantage from their magic abilities to protect themselves from the sight of humans and their malicious intents. And, of course, Toby would never be able to obtain his full magic potential (which he has a lot of) around his own father.
Aside from all that, his hair is now bright blue, a side effect of the curse that makes it difficult for him to hide from humans and dangerous animals.
Toby grew up not being allowed to leave the Colony EVER because of his curse. So when he became an adult, after getting involved in a lot of trouble inside the Colony, being the little thief and vagabond that he is, he thought-
Unfortunately, he never had the chance to actually seek a cure for his curse in the book because he was discovered for his theft before that, yeah, it was all kind of pointless, he truly sucks at hiding.
