#arttag #fable #fable 2 #fable ii #hero of bowerstone #hero of bower lake #after returning from the spire sparrow met and got close to bowerstone's alchemist #her name was moira and she was bonkers #wicked fucking clever and basically a walking encyclopedia. studied alchemy in samarkand for years #lost all her common sense after meeting sparrow because hey! now she had someone to watch her back while she collected weird ingredients! #so they were very active and always out and about even after having their daughter beryl #it wasn't a perfect relationship; sparrow couldn't be helped just through being loved and they refused to fully open up to moira #she never heard a word about sparrow's past; they thought that was a way to protect her #on top of the shame and shock and grief keeping them from talking about it #so they never connected quite as fully as they would've liked; didn't have time to either #and even though it was just a distraction it still gave everyone a couple years of comfort #got sparrow to start playing the lute again like they used to as a teen living in the lake camp #got them to reconnect briefly with the normal world and feel like a human again #until lucien did his thing #well #in the end the love was there. on both sides #it didn't change anything #but it was there #also also this was totally inspired by one of @tantaliart's older pieces... sorry tanta your stuff drives me insane in the best ways #go follow her
