Magical Ways in Herb Magic

Timing

Ancient people created magical systems of varying complexity to time ritual acts with astronomical phenomena. Some of these systems involved the phases of the moon, others accounted for the seasons, and others used the stars and their positions. Timing can provide extra power to spells, but the inviolable rule of magic is to use it when needed. If you have a need now, there's no use waiting for the moon to enter the proper sign or until Ursa Major rises, grab your herbs and get on with it! Magic already works, it will work any time of day or night. If you wish to follow the old ways of timing magic with the sun, moon, and stars, please do! It's amazing and will give your powers a boost, but it may be followed or not as you please. You will still get results because the power is in everything, including you!

Tools

Herb magic requires few tools, and the only one you really need is the herbs themselves. Candles, incense burners, charcoal blocks, and jars to store herbs are important as well. A mortar and pestle set is needed to grind herbs and seeds. A large bowl to enchant herbs. A large glass or enameled pot to use exclusively for brewing infusions/potions. You may also want some simple sewing supplies to make sachets, along with cotton or wool cloth.

The Altar

Also called the spell table or work table. Magic does not need the presence of an altar, but it is a special place where spells are cast. It can also be used to enchant herbs, compose sachets, and perform all other magical work. An altar can be any flat surface where you can place herbs, candles, an incense burner, and any other materials you need for your spells. It can be indoors or outdoors, performing magic outdoors is advised when it feels right and is practical for you. Wherever you can find a for an altar place is sufficient, I use the top of my dresser inside and an old stump outside. You can add any objects that feel comfortable and significant to you. Lucky charms, fossils, rocks, shells, feathers, anything. Natural objects in particular may empower your magic further. I even collect my cats' shed claws and whiskers to add to my altar since that feels special and powerful to me. Your altar is all about you and limited only by your imagination!

Visualization

Visualization is forming a picture in your mind of your need. Many books have been written on this subject and many have difficulty visualizing clearly. If this is you, that's totally okay! The ability is present in you, I promise, and like any skill you probably just need practice. Try picturing a sunflower in your head right now... this is visualization. In magic, visualization is used to direct the power by forming a picture in your head. What you visualize can be any symbol associated with the need you're using magic for. Visualize it as if you've already obtained it, it's already come to fruition. Even if you're never able to fully visualize your need, that's okay! Magic will work as long as the intention is there.

Other Considerations

When possible, bathe before performing magic and dress in clean comfortable clothing or nothing at all. Some choose to wear special articles of clothing or jewelry, which is wonderful if it feels right but isn't necessary. It's also not necessary to abstain from sex, foods, or liquids prior to magic. Again, do so if it feels right to you. As a rule of thumb, don't cast spells for others without permission. If you want to use magic for someone you love and can't get permission or want it to be a surprise, make them a sachet! Present it as a gift, explain the uses and powers, and allow the other person to choose to bring those vibrations into their life or not. Above all, have fun! You should be serious when actually enchanting herbs and visualizing, but magic should be enjoyable.

Cunningham, Scott. Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs. Sixteenth Printing, Second Edition, 2008.

"Nine Months” Summary: Zuko’s having a baby. A baby dragon, that is. Note: Shameless Zutara. Ignores all finale kisses.

Zuko isn’t at all tipsy when he sneaks into the room his coronation gifts are stored and begins trifling through everything. And why should he be sneaking, he wonders, not at all drunkenly stumbling into the chest of sacred scrolls someone had given him. He groans as he bends forward to rub his knee. Then he loses his balance and nearly falls flat on his face.

Fortunately, Katara is there to stop him, catching his shoulders and helping him stand straight. “You okay there, Fire Lord?”

He tries to focus on her but mostly goes cross-eyed. As the three Katara’s wave their hands in his face, he thinks he might throw up. If he threw up on her, she’d probably be furious. Especially because that would mean he ruined her dress. Perhaps she could bend it away? Was vomit-bending a thing?

“I’m fine,” Zuko replies. “I’m the Fire Lord.”

“Oh, I heard. Today was your coronation, after all.”

His coronation! Zuko perks up, now remembering why he asked Katara to play ninja with him again and sneak into the room the servants brought all the gifts into. Sokka didn’t look all that impressed with the term “play ninja”, but since Sokka was the one challenging him into a drinking contest, he wasn’t really in a position to fight. He was so far gone that Suki had to bring him back to his room.

“Why did we need to sneak in here?” Katara asks. “You’re the Fire Lord. Can’t we just waltz in?”

“But I don’t want to waltz.”

“That’s not what I--”

“Oh, swords!”

Zuko runs to the set of broad swords Master Piandao gifted him like Sokka on a shopping spree. He draws out both blades and Katara is quick to grab his hands and make him put them back down.

“You said we were here for an egg?”

“Right.”

Zuko puts the swords back on their decorative stand with only a small pout. When he remembers the reason he came here, he rummages around the piles of presents. He finds a few more weapons that peace time will only allow him to admire and not use. He finds scrolls that will bore him and scrolls that might actually interest him. He even finds some pieces of jewelry that he assumes are supposed to go to the future Fire Lady but that he’ll offer to Katara instead. Not that he assumes she’ll be the Fire Lady, of course--

“I think I found it!”

Zuko rushes over to her side, nearly knocking her over in the process. Katara has to balance both of them as Zuko leans over the box she opened and marvels at the dragon egg. He reaches in to pick it up, but Katara grabs his wrist.

“Are you sure you want to pick that up right now?” Katara asks. “You’re a little, well, inebriated.”

“I was literally just playing with the swords.”

“Yes, but if you stab yourself, I can heal you. Whereas if you drop the priceless fossilized dragon egg, that’s it.”

Zuko decides that he’s heard her warning, respects it, and isn’t going to listen. He plucks the egg out of its box and holds it delicately enough. The shell is surprisingly smooth for the scales that line it. Like virtually everything in the Fire Nation, they’re a deep red, but at certain angles the scales flash gold. Zuko turns it slowly, amazed that something barely bigger than his head could grow into the majestic beasts he met with Aang months ago. He lowers his hands to put the egg back into its case, but pauses when he feels a beat.

“Huh?”

Zuko frowns. He brings the egg closer to face, looking for something but unsure of what. The egg pulses in his hands, as if burning with life. Zuko’s hands begin to shake, so he places the egg back in the chest it came in.

“Katara?”

“Yeah?”

“I don’t think that dragon egg is a fossil.”

ii.

Zuko tracks down the gift giver, an eccentric old merchant that was old friends with his uncle. He explains that the egg truly had been a fossil for dozens of years, sitting in one of his smaller warehouses as a lump of black rock that he held onto for sentiment’s sake. However, that warehouse caught fire during the day Zuko returned to the Fire Nation to claim his rightful place, and among the ashes, he found the egg restored, ready to hatch after nine months. Considering it an auspicious sign, he simply knew the dragon egg would need to be given to the new Fire Lord.

The next day, Zuko announces his impending fatherhood to the rest of his friends.

Sokka is quick to pick up the knife he’d been using on his breakfast before Katara explains that Zuko is having a dragon baby, not a human one.

“Oh.” Sokka sits back down. “Wait. What? A dragon?”

“A dragon,” Zuko confirms.

Aang looks ecstatic. “That’s so cool, Zuko! When your dragon gets big, you guys can race me and Appa!”

Toph punches Aang’s shoulder. “No way! The first thing that dragon is doing is taking me on my life-changing field trip.” She scowls at Zuko’s general direction. “I’m still waiting, you know.”

“I think Zuko needs to focus on, you know, reforming the Fire Nation, Toph,” Katara points out.

Toph sighs dramatically. “You’ve really changed, Sparky. How dare you.”

Later at dinner, Sokka tells them that he spent the day in the library. That isn’t much of a surprise to anyone because Sokka absolutely loves the palace library and often only leaves when he’s told it’s time to eat.

“I was reading about dragons today,” he explains. “Did you know you have tons of books about dragons?”

Zuko did not. “Of course I did.”

“Well, okay, so where’s the egg?”

“Still with the other gifts?”

“Zuko!”

Sokka stands with a small shriek. He takes off running. The rest of them resume eating until a few minutes later, Sokka returns with the egg and a long length of cloth that may or may not have been a banner.

“Sokka!” Katara yells. “Don’t run with the egg! What if you dropped it?!”

Sokka ignores his sister and deposits the egg in Toph’s lap. “Here, hold it.”

“Yeah, that sounds safe,” she grumbles.

“I’ll hold it!” Aang says.

“No!” Toph folds over where the egg sits. “It’s mine!”

“No fair!” Aang pouts as he turns to Katara. “Katara, Toph isn’t sharing!”

Katara sighs and tells them to take turns.

Meanwhile, Sokka succeeds in making Zuko stand with his arms outstretched. As he works, he explains that the books all said that the egg needed to stay warm at almost all times, meaning Zuko would need to use his natural body heat to take care of his future dragon. Sokka proceeds to wrap the cloth around his middle and shoulders, leaving a small pocket on Zuko’s chest. As Toph finally agrees to let Aang have a turn holding the dragon egg, Sokka plucks it away and tucks it against Zuko.

“Behold, the Dragon Daddy...Carrier...Thing.” Sokka holds his arms out as he shows Zuko’s new look off to their friends. Everyone regards Zuko in his formal attire with a dragon egg strapped against his chest. “Super manly, am I right?”

Katara crosses her arms, utterly unimpressed. “There’s nothing manly about it.”

Sokka glares at her and Zuko looks positively offended.

She rolls her eyes. “What I mean is that women have been doing that for centuries, Sokka. You’re hardly a genius.”

“But I’m still manly right?” Zuko asks.

“Sure?”

They resume dinner and Sokka regales them with all that he’s learned about dragons. When they’re done, Aang reminds everyone that he still didn’t get a chance to hold the dragon egg.

Zuko says he can have his turn after dessert.

iii.

On rare occasions, Zuko is told that he cannot bring his egg into particular meetings. His advisors are generally accepting of this minor eccentricity, but he knows when to pick his battles, and relents. After all, some other attendees might not take him seriously with a sling strapped across his abdomen. During those moments, Zuko entrusts his egg with Katara.

Katara looks significantly less weird with the egg held against her body. She’s still too young to be a mother, but she certainly looks like one like that. And it doesn’t help that she’s flanked by Aang and Toph who are both touching the egg and commenting on how the scales feel.

When he’s done for the day, he heads their way. Toph notices him first, turning her head in his general direction. Aang and Katara see him next, the former waving excitedly while the latter smiles in that way that makes Zuko’s heart skip a beat.

“Thanks,” Zuko says when he’s in front of them, “for, um, watching my egg.”

“That sounded weird.” Katara makes a face. “I hated that entire sentence.”

“Well how else am I supposed to say it, Katara?”

Her lips twitch in amusement and Zuko can’t help but smile back. He wracks his brain for something clever or maybe even flirtatious. Naturally, he comes up short.

Aang breaks the silence and eye contact though by tugging Zuko’s sleeve. “Hey Zuko, next time you need to look like a super serious Fire Lord--”

“I am a super serious Fire Lord.”

“--can I eggsit? I’ll be super responsible, I promise! And I can actually firebend, so I can be warm for the egg too!”

Zuko considers Aang’s hopeful grin while also considering that he and Toph thought it’d be a great idea to airbend a pair of ostrich-horses onto the roof for a race. There was nothing responsible about that. Toph couldn’t even see! Aang could be trusted with restoring balance and taking bending away from bad people, sure, but eggsitting Zuko’s future dragon? No way.

“Aang, yesterday you made a mini cyclone in the garden.”

“Yeah, but that’s because Sokka wanted to see what it’d look like on a smaller scale than the ocean.”

“That...no. No, you don’t get to eggsit.”

“Boo!” Aang crosses his arms and pouts. “Fine. I guess only Katara gets to hold your egg.”

Zuko frowns. “Yeah, I hated that entire sentence.”

iv.

Every few weeks, Toph confirms that the dragon is indeed a healthy thing. With the egg on the ground and her hands holding it in place, she tells Zuko that it has a regular, steady heartbeat. Of course, she doesn’t really know how a dragon’s heart should beat. For all she knew, it wasn’t actually beating at the proper rate and the dragon was doomed.

“Nah,” Sokka says. He begins tapping the floor. “It should be like this.”

Katara raises an eyebrow. “How would you even know that?”

“I read about it.”

“You read about dragon heartbeats?” Katara frowns. “I don’t think that’s a thing.”

“It’s absolutely a thing!”

Zuko drowns them out as he picks the egg up from where it sits before Toph and carefully tucks it back into his sling. His hands rest upon it while Aang leans in close to marvel at it too.

“Man, this is so awesome, Zuko!” he exclaims.

“Yeah.”

“A dragon. For the new Fire Lord.”

“Yeah.”

“And--” Aang pauses. He rises to get a better look at Zuko’s face. “Are you...crying?”

“Of course not!” Zuko bites out. “There’s just something in my eyes!”

Toph snorts. “Yeah, alright.”

She makes a joke about how Zuko does this every time she checks the heartbeat, while Aang suggests maybe using waterbending to see if it’ll be a boy dragon or a girl dragon. Toph laughs and says Zuko won’t be able to hide his crying if that happens. Zuko carefully blinks back tears before he snaps back at them for being right.

Zuko joins his uncle for tea in the afternoon. His uncle has been busy with the efforts to reestablish peace, and they certainly still have more work ahead of them, but Zuko is happy to have him home again.

“I’ve heard rumours, nephew, that you have...secured your legacy.”

Zuko nods. He will never share the legacy of the Fire Lords before him, conquerors and tyrants alike. No, Zuko will be the bringer of peace and its champion too. He will teach kindness and compassion. He will restore culture, reform education, and continue to reinvent to match his people’s needs.

“Yes, uncle.”

“That’s good to hear.” Iroh pauses. “However, you are not married.”

“I...am not, uncle.”

“Perhaps--”

“There you are!”

Zuko looks up to find Katara entering the room. In her arms is the dragon egg that he’d dropped off to her that morning because of some commitments.

“Hey,” Zuko says, letting Katara’s settle the egg in his lap.

Katara then ignores him and decorum by rushing over to his uncle’s side.

“Iroh!” she greets. “It’s so good to see you!”

“It is good to see you as well, Master Katara.” When she draws away, Iroh examines her up and down and then frowns. He quickly covers that up with a smile though. “Please, won’t you join us for tea?”

“I’d love to, but I promised I’d help Aang with some stuff. Are you free tomorrow morning?”

“For you, Master Katara, I will be.”

Katara laughs and sets a time before making her way out again. When she’s gone, Iroh looks at Zuko and stays silent.

“What?” Zuko asks.

“It’s nothing.”

“Clearly it’s something.”

Iroh purses his lips, as if unsure if he should say what’s on his mind.

Zuko doesn’t understand why he suddenly seemed so disappointed. Zuko had just confirmed that he would no longer carry on their family’s legacy of destruction. Shouldn’t that make his uncle happy? But instead he saw Katara and looked sad. This was obviously Katara’s fault then. Katara’s fault for being--

Zuko stills. He looks down at his tea and then back up at his uncle’s solemn face. He exhales and finds angry steam coming out of his nostrils.

“Uncle,” he begins slowly, because he is a kind Fire Lord and kind Fire Lords don’t lose their temper with people, even gossiping uncles. “Were you under the impression that I...and Katara...” Zuko’s features contort into a scowl. He refuses to even say the words. “Uncle!”

“Now, now. You must forgive an old man for chatting with old friends over pai sho, nephew.”

“About my love life?!”

“But of course.” Iroh grins. “It is a very popular topic all over the world.”

“Uncle, please!”

vi.

As an ambassador for the Southern Water Tribe, Katara’s stays in the Fire Nation are long, but not permanent. She spends her last evening there with Zuko and the dragon egg.

“Based on everything we’ve read, the egg shouldn’t hatch for another three months.”

“That’s right.”

“I’ll only be gone for two months.”

“Correct.”

“I’m going to be back on time for the birth.”

“I know you will.”

“I’m going to be so upset if I miss it...”

“Don’t worry,” Zuko reassures. “Druk will wait for you.”

Katara grins. She likes the name he picked. She knows he spent a lot of time poring over a list of names of the dragons that used to be partnered with members of the royal family. The original Druk belonged to a Fire Lord from centuries ago whose reign was one of peace and prosperity. He was a huge patron of the arts and Love amongst the Dragons was written in his time.

“Take care of yourself while I’m gone, okay?”

“Obviously.”

“Make sure you eat three meals a day.”

“I already do that!”

“Because I make you!”

“I missed a meal one time--”

“Yeah, per day!” She pokes his shoulder. “And make sure you sleep.”

“I will.”

“I mean it. I’ll know if you don’t.”

“Yeah? How will you manage that, waterbender?”

The question comes out more coyly than he ever would have intended. And calling her anything other than her name has always seemed more flirtatious than intended. Granted, maybe he did intend it. Zuko smirks for effect, hoping he seems as cool to her as he wants to be.

Katara narrows her eyes, lifting her chin a fraction and crossing her arms and--

Agni, it was happening.

They were officially flirting.

Zuko willed his beating heart to be still.

“I have my ways,” she drawls with a little grin of her own. But that soon fades into sadness. “I’m going to miss you, Zuko.”

Zuko nods. He’s going to miss her too. Katara has been around since he defeated Azula. He got used to her presence when they were still fighting in the war and he became at home with it during their stay in the Fire Nation.

“Zuko...”

Katara leans forward and Zuko’s heart begins to race. Actually, it was already racing. Now it’s just beating ridiculously fast. This might actually be a health hazard, Zuko realizes. Perhaps Katara wasn’t good for him after all if she was going to make his heart go crazy and make his stomach hurt in that weird, stupid fluttering way all the time. Her lips twitch, puling into a pucker, and Zuko knows this is it.

This is it.

He closes his eyes, ready as if he hasn’t been ready for months now, and then--

Nothing.

He blinks, confused, and catches the back of Katara’s head as she stands back up and grins sheepishly. She pats the dragon egg strapped to his chest.

“I had to give Druk a kiss goodbye,” she explains.

“Right,” Zuko mumbles. “Druk.”

He tries not to pout. Really, he does. But apparently he doesn’t try hard enough because soon Katara is giggling. She reaches up, one hand cupping his cheek as her thumb brushes his skin.

“I’m going to miss you,” she tells him.

“I’m going to miss you too.”

Her gaze flickers to his lips and he watches the way she swallows nervously. Deciding it’s now or never, Zuko leans in, and is pleased when Katara meets his lips half way. It’s a bit of an awkward lean considering the dragon egg between them, but Zuko wouldn’t change a thing. He kisses her softly, unwilling to rush what he knows is going to be a good thing.

Eventually they draw apart and Katara smiles shyly. “Will you see me off in the morning? Well, Ninja Zuko, not Fire Lord Zuko.”

Zuko nods, still a bit breathless. “Of course.”

vii.

Fire Lord Zuko’s less than standard choice of outfit is expected at this point. Gone is the initial sash Sokka made when they first realized the egg needed to be held at all times. He has new ones in a variety of colours. Some have even been gifted to him by other dignitaries on their visits, so Zuko has half a dozen shades of green. Today he wears the yellow one that Aang so eagerly gave him the other month.

He looks ridiculous, therefore he stands out. And because he stands out, it makes an attempt on his life that much easier.

Of course, Zuko has the best guards in the entire world, and his attackers are dealt with swiftly.

Panicking, Zuko unwraps the yellow silk and carefully inspects the dragon egg. He frets until he finishes.

“He’s okay,” Zuko breathes in relief.

“Good,” Suki says, “because I don’t think you were the target.”

“What do you mean?”

Suki nods to the egg. “They were aiming for that.”

“Druk?”

“Great.” Mai sighs as she looks up at the ceiling. “He already named it.”

“Of course I did!”

“I think Druk is a great name, Zuko!” Ty Lee says.

Suki continues searching the room with her two new recruits. “Why would someone want to assassinate a dragon?”

“Why wouldn’t they?” Mai turns to Zuko and finds him rewrapping the yellow silk around his body to cradle his dragon egg close. “A new Fire Lord supported not only by the Avatar, but by a dragon. No propaganda can beat that in the Fire Nation, especially when you started walking around with the real thing. They probably think you’ve been chosen by the spirits.”

“But dragons are extinct, Mai,” Ty Lee points out.

“So, what, that’s a toucan puffin then?”

“If someone wants Zuko out of the way,” Suki muses, “they know they need to get rid of that dragon before it’s born.”

“Exactly.”

Zuko rises, scowling in his Fire Lord regalia and the sling wrapped around him. Fire shoots out out of Zuko’s clenched fists. He might look absurd, but his expression is fearsome as he all but growls, “They can try.”

viii.

Katara returns a few days earlier than expected. Maybe the tides had been kind to her ship. Maybe there was a master waterbender on board. Who knew. Fire Lord Zuko requests the Southern Water Tribe Ambassador join him for dinner, which she arrives to after a long day of napping.

Zuko feels a weight lifted off his shoulders when he sees her again. She’s safe, she’s healthy, and if that smile is anything to go by, she’s happy too.

She tells him all about how much they’ve done to restore things to how they were back when she was a girl, along with all the other innovations Sokka’s bringing about. She talks about her grandmother’s cooking, her father’s leadership, and her brother’s antics. Tomorrow will include more official topics about the Tribe’s needs, but tonight is for catching up.

“I guess you enjoyed your stay,” Zuko mumbles, happy for her.

“Definitely. But if I’m being honest, towards the end I...” She meets his eyes for a moment, something akin to longing in her gaze, before she looks down at her plate. She shrugs. “I started to miss it here towards the end.”

“Oh.”

“Yeah. I really like swimming. And surfing. And...stuff.”

Zuko clears his throat. “You’re welcome to stay here as long as you want, you know. Permanently, even!”

“That’s not really how ambassadors work, Zuko.”

“Yeah. I know. Maybe in, um, a different capacity?”

“What do you mean?”

“Uh...”

A voice that sounds suspiciously like his uncle’s says Fire Lady, but Zuko will never ever say that to her face. Yeah, he’s probably in love with her. Oh, how he’s in love with her. And he’s vaguely positive Katara has feelings for him too. And they kissed before! But Zuko could never ask that of her right now.

“I don’t know,” he says to save himself. He doesn’t do a good job, but Katara doesn’t push the topic.

“There’s still a lot of work to do,” Katara eventually replies.

Zuko manages not to groan at the understatement.

“Here in the Fire Nation, but around the world too. These past few years have taught me that the world is wide and that I’m in a unique position to be helpful. If I don’t use what I’ve learned to help people in need...that just seems irresponsible.” She grins. “But I’ll come back. I’m always going to come back.”

“Wouldn’t you want to go...home?”

“Of course I’ll visit the South Pole, but...” She shrugs. “Home is very spread out now,” she explains with a small laugh. “Aang and Toph are going back to the Earth Kingdom after Druk is born, Sokka is already back with the Tribe, Suki is going back to Kyoshi when she’s done here, and, well, you’re here, Zuko.”

“I’m...home?”

Katara blinks, taken aback. “Did you think you weren’t?”

Zuko doesn’t say anything, too rattled by the admission, too overwhelmed by its meaning. Katara considered him home. Katara held him at the same esteem as people as precious to her as her family. Katara wanted to come back to him. Katara considered him someone worth coming back to.

“And now home is this guy too.” She rests her palm upon the dragon egg, dangerously close to his pounding heart.

Zuko’s hand rises on its own, settling gently over Katara’s. She looks up at him, startled, and he takes a breath.

“Katara, this is my home. It kind of has to be. But it’s, um, better when you’re here.”

“O--oh.”

Katara’s hand shakes. Or maybe it’s his hand shaking and he’s affecting her too. It doesn’t matter though, because Katara turns hers over and laces her fingers through his. She holds his hand and she smiles.

Agni, he loved her smile. Agni, he loved her.

His hand begins to grow sweaty. “Uh,” he self-consciously coughs. “Do you want to hold Druk?” Zuko pulls his hand away and rubs the back of his neck. “It’s been a while for you.”

Katara opens her arms to him and his dragon baby. “I’d love to.”

ix.

The first crack comes some time after midnight when Zuko is reading a report from the ever-growing stack in his office, with the egg nestled in his crossed legs. Zuko looks down, but doesn’t really see anything strange, so he keeps reading. But a moment later, the egg begins to shake. Eyes wide, Zuko finds himself frozen.

The egg wobbles as the single fracture on the side begins to grow like a web.

“Katara!” he hisses. “Katara!”

In this moment, he’s grateful she deigned to linger in his office and read those trashy romance scrolls Ty Lee shared with her.

“What is it--oh!” Katara sucks in a sharp breath when she notices the way the egg moves. She rushes to his side and kneels down. “Is it--”

“It is!” Zuko, unable to move with the leg in his lag, grabs her hand. “What am I supposed to do?”

“I--I don’t know! I’ve only delivered babies!”

“This is a baby!”

“A dragon baby, Zuko!”

They both yelp when a clawed, red appendage breaks through the cracks.

“It’s...” Zuko reaches out for Katara’s hand, squeezing it as the little dragon inside continues to push his way out. “That’s it, buddy,” Zuko encourages. “You’re doing great.” He feels Katara place her free hand on his shoulder. She tells him to breath because at some point he stopped. He doesn’t do a good job listening though, so she begins to loudly inhale and exhale so that he can follow.

Soon another arm comes through, and one moment later, a little head pops through the top of the egg.

Zuko makes a noise that might be a sob and lets go of Katara to help peel away the bits of shell stuck of the little dragon’s head. He blinks at Zuko with dazed golden eyes before his mouth opens into something that can only be deemed a yawn.

“Hi Druk,” Zuko whispers, holding his hand out to the little dragon.

Druk slithers out of what’s left of his shell and sniffs Zuko’s hand. He’s just a bit bigger than a newborn turtle duck, so it’s not a problem when he settles on Zuko’s awaiting palm.

Amazed, Zuko turns to Katara with the widest smile she’s ever seen on his face. “He likes me!” He begins to laugh as Druk crawls up his arm and over his head to the other shoulder. He presses his head against Zuko’s cheek and nuzzles him.

Katara rolls her eyes fondly. “Of course he does. I’m sure he recognizes that you’re the one who kept his egg warm for nine--”

She yelps when Druk takes advantage of Katara’s hand still on Zuko’s back, using that arm as a bridge to climb on her shoulder. His claws are tugging at her hair, albeit only lightly, and soon he’s rubbing his little head against her chin.

“He likes you too!”

Reminded of Zuko, Druk’s golden eyes snap back open and he leaps off of Katara and into Zuko’s lap. Fortunately, he’d had the sense to push the empty shell away when Druk was climbing around. Druk circles the space of his lap before finally curling up and settling down.

Utterly amazed, Zuko gathers his resting son into his arms and stands. He’ll need to prepare a place for Druk, but Katara says she’ll take care of that for now.

“Spend time with your newborn, Fire Lord.”

At the window, Zuko considers showing Druk all that the light touches, but realizes it’s night and so he should wait until tomorrow. He laughs, still utterly astonished by this turn of events, and silently thanks the man who gifted him with the egg at his coronation. Druk twitches and resettles in his arms. He yawns and then he huffs with a little burst of fire escaping his mouth.

Zuko looks down at Druk with adoration and excitement in his eyes.

“I have a dragon.”

Alternate Next Gen (Main Cast): Golda Harrison

Golda is the daughter of Brock and Olivia. Golda always admired her father for being a Pokemon doctor and her mother for being an Island Kahuna and a jeweler, she’s been deciding what she could do and isn’t sure what she should pursue. After a while of pondering, she decided to become an assistant for both of her parents, she would help her mother with her new shop in Pewter city both by looking for jewels to use, creating accessories like necklaces, bracelets, charms and other things and by creating her own clothes to go with each piece of jewelry. She also assists her father in his office, mostly by caring for Pokemon that weren’t too badly injured and by feeding and grooming them when he’s busy to do so himself, she also acts as the referee for her uncle Forrest when he’s battling against a challenger and she helps him care for the Gym Pokemon when the Pokemon aren’t battling. Golda is a lot like both of her parents. Like Brock, she’s an older sister figure to others but she gets embarrassed when someone calls her big sis. She can also be stern and harsh towards someone if they aren’t properly caring for their Pokemon, as such she often acts as a mentor to beginning trainers and will give them advice on what they can work on, another example of her being a big sister figure. Golda also has her father’s cleaning and cooking skills and often takes over if Brock is going to be late due to work or if he’s going to be staying at work because of emergencies. It’s also thanks to him that Golda learned how to sew clothes for her mother’s shop. Despite being a care taker, she does have a knack for battling and is very good at doing so even if she doesn’t battle as often as her parents. She also will flirt with any cute boy she sees. Like Olivia, she can communicate with Pokemon on a different level than others despite the fact she’s also a little clumsy, she’s still sweet and energetic like her mother.

She has a Key Stone attached to a charm that she made and attached to her vest. She also has a Z-Ring that was given to her by Olivia on her tenth Birthday.

Her Pokemon:

Amaura- Amaura was restored from a fossil and was given to Golda on her tenth birthday. Amarua is very playful and friendly, she loved to play with Golda every chance she got or when she could. She also enjoyed helping her trainer with finding jewels and gems to use for making jewelry with her mother, Amarua would freeze some of the rocks and then use a Rock type move to break the ice to make the jewels easier to get from the walls. While Golda is working, she’ll often wait around for Golda to finish by just sitting next to her or she’ll rest next to her. Amaura also helps provide Golda with ice for any Pokemon that have fevers should they need ice right away. Amaura will also help around Brock’s office by freezing ice packs for them to use for multiple Pokemon with fevers. Despite her size, she’s very good at battling and she’s very strong. She’s often seen out of her Pokeball.

Given in a Pokeball.

Ability is Refrigerate.

Moves are Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Return, Ancient Power, Rock Slide, Frost Breath, Zen Headbutt, Water Pulse, Rock Tomb and Mirror Coat.

Diancie- Golda had met Diancie while she and her Amarua were exploring a cave to find some gems, she didn’t expect to find a Diancie while she was there. After a bit, she had befriended Diancie ended up catching her. Diancie proved to be very helpful for Golda as she can create diamonds from carbon in the air she uses that ability to make diamonds for her new trainer to use. While during a trip to Olivia’s home town, a collector had given Golda Diancie’s mega stone and Brock had given Golda a Key stone. Wanting to make both items special, she had Diancie make small diamonds for both items and made both the Key Stone and the Mega stone into matching pins for both of them. Diancie was very happy to have a matching pin that her trainer had given to her and was even happier to have them be made by the diamonds she made. Diancie is very friendly and generous, she has no issue giving Golda the diamonds she creates to use for her jewelry, in fact she’s always happy when she sees humans buying her trainers creations with her diamonds. She doesn’t battle as often as Golda’s other Pokemon, but she does battle when it’s an emergency due to how much stronger she is than her teammates. Despite the fact she’s genderless, she likes being referred to as a girl.

Caught in a Luxury Ball.

Ability is Clear Body, changes to Magic Bounce when Mega Evolved.

Held Item is Diancite.

Moves are Diamond Storm, Moonblast, Power Gem, Nature Power, Trick Room, Gyro Ball, Dazzling Gleam, Helping Hand, Psychic and Protect.

Midnight Lycanroc- Golda’s Lycanroc has been by her side since he was a Rockruff. When he was a Rockruff, Lycanroc was very friendly and helpful when Golda is exploring caves for gems to use for jewelry, he would often smash rocks containing gems so that Golda could get to them more easily. After evolving when it had gotten dark, he started becoming more aggressive but despite that he’s still loyal to Golda and will help her with getting jewelry because she didn’t scold him whenever he had gotten too rough when he was ready to evolve as a Rockruff. In order to help Golda with what she needed, he would pretend that the rocks were a powerful opponent for him to defeat for his trainer to get something that she needed. Lycanroc is also very protective over Golda, always wanting to keep her safe if she happens to be in a dangerous situation.

Caught in a Pokeball.

Ability is Vital Spirit.

Moves are Counter, Rock Slide, Crunch, Fire Punch, Thunder Punch, Mega Punch, Brick Break, Outrage, Iron Tail and Stone Edge.

Wigglytuff- Wigglytuff was given to Golda by a Kalos Nurse Joy after seeing how well Golda was doing as an assistant to Brock and thinking that Golda could use an assistant of her own. Wigglytuff was pleased to be given to Golda and always did her best to help Golda with her work as her personal assistant, Wigglytuff would often be in Golda’s care when she’s working with her father but when Golda isn’t around Wigglytuff will still work with Brock especially if he’s very busy. Wigglytuff is a very helpful Pokemon, she loves caring for others both humans and Pokemon and she helps them with whatever they may need. Wigglytuff assists with helping restless Pokemon fall asleep, healing Pokemon with Heal Pulse and various other things around the office. Despite the fact she’s mostly a nurse, she’s very good at battling and will battle to protect her trainer and other sick Pokemon or Pokemon who can’t protect themselves.

Caught in a Heal Ball.

Ability is Cute Charm.

Moves are Sing, Disarming Voice, Heal Pulse, Hyper Voice, Ice Beam, Draining Kiss, Gyro Ball, Play Rough, Return and Dazzling Gleam.

Ribombee- Ribombee was caught by Golda while she was in Alola with her family, she remembered that Ribombee could create pollen puffs that could heal others and thought it would be a good Pokemon to have around the office. After being caught, Ribombee was quick to fit in with the other Pokemon working at the doctor’s office Brock worked at. Ribombee is a generous and kind Pokemon, she has no issue giving injured Pokemon her Pollen Puffs if they need it. While she is kind to others, she doesn’t tolerate if someone is being rude to her or others and anyone who is will get a bad Pollen Puff while sassily fluttering away. Ribombee really likes being near flowers and will often pick flowers to give to patients or others doctors. She gets along with Golda and is happy to give her a Pollen Puff when she’s tired and needs a boost with her work. She gives honey that she collects to others for them to use in their down time.

Caught in a Pokeball.

Ability is Honey Gather.

Moves are Pollen Puff, Aromatherapy, Sweet Scent, Dazzling Gleam, Bug Buzz, Magical Leaf, Moonblast, Silver Wind, Psychic and Helping Hand.

Meet the Mess-Maker: Hodge

Howdy! I’m a busy college student with a LOT of hobbies, and thus a lot of projects going on constantly.

I’d love to show off all the projects I’m making (and maybe even get some input from other makers), so I’m putting all of my craft and hobby posts and ideas here on a blog, so I can actually keep track of all the good info on tumblr! This is my first time using a big tagging system, so go easy on me.

I love hearing about other people’s hobbies, so please share what you’re into! Are you making something? Do you have a hobby you’re perfecting, or looking for more info on? Come share what makes you happy.

About Hodge:

I’m an art-lover and a die hard Star Trek fan (I love all sci-fi, honestly), and I love to sing. I’m a proud lesbian with a green thumb and an insatiable sweet tooth, and I usually spend my weekends baking all kinds of sweet desserts. All the better if I can share them with my lovely girlfriend! I love fossil- and rock-collecting, good coffee, good naps, good food, and cats.

I’m a big ADHD-er, and I’m excited to try making my own stim-toys someday soon. I also share a lot of tips’n’tricks for dealing with my adhd. If you’re like me, welcome aboard, and hopefully you can find something useful here. <3

Hodge’s Hobbies:

Books and reading (I love sci-fi, fantasy, and adventure, toss your favorite recommendations my way! I’d love to start a reading list; maybe even a book club someday)

Jewelry-making

Rock and fossil hunting (I have a degree in geology! Talk to me about rocks and I'll love you forever <3)

Gardening

Herbalism

Cooking & baking

Foraging and wildcrafting

Candle making

Witchcraft

Painting

Drawing

Metalwork & copper-stamping

Stargazing

Writing

Dungeons and Dragons (I’ve been playing with my current group for about four years now)

Pictured above: Actual footage of this blog’s management

Hobbies I’d Love to Pick Up:

Bone collecting (Vulture Culture)

Weaving and spinning (fiber weaving and cloth)

Knitting

Carpentry

Mushroom hunting

Soap making

Forging and smithing

Leather working and tanning

Bookbinding

Making stim-toys

Basket weaving

Sword fighting

Before You Follow:

Regarding Witchcraft: If you’re not into seeing anything related to witchcraft, simply blacklist the tag #witchcraft and it should never show up when you look at my blog! Here’s a short guide on blacklisting tags if you don’t know how. This can be used for any other hobbies you’re not interested in as well.

Do not mock anyone’s practice here. Differing opinions are part of magic theory and practice, but there is no single “right” way to practice witchcraft, and anyone can be a witch. Making cruel comments on anyone’s spirituality is a fast track to getting your ass blocked. Nobody is looking to engage with an elitist, inconsiderate, and incorrect attitude.

Regarding herbal medicine: if you’re here looking for herbal medicinal help and want advice, be advised that:

I know my shit very well, and I will *ALWAYS* advise you to seek adequate medical help from trained professionals before turning to herbal medicine.

I’ve trained in herbalism for many years, starting from a young age, by professional herbalists in my family. However, I am not a professional, and I don’t pretend to be one. Any information from me that you want to use should be run by your personal doctor first; they know what your health needs are, and are familiar with your medical history and current medications/conditions. I am not.

I will advise you NOT to ingest essential oils of any kind, nor plants that you aren’t familiar with and haven’t sourced yourself.

I fully believe in the science behind vaccines, and I will block anti-vax arguments on sight.

I will smack you if you try to replace your professionally prescribed medications with an herbal supplement or treatment.

Herbal medicine is a fantastic tool for helping a myriad of both short-term and chronic afflictions, but it is not a replacement for modern medical care. Herbalism is generally best used in CONJUNCTION with medical care, not as a substitute.

Inclusion Policy:

This blog is LBGTQIA+ friendly. This blog is POC friendly.

Asexual/Trans/Bisexual/Intersex/Nonbinary, Disabled, abused, and POC folks are welcome here. This is a positive, inclusive, and protected space.

Any and all bullshit will be immediately deleted and blocked.

Wanna Tag Me In Something?

Use My Tracked Tag!

Thank you for reading, I love you! Happy crafting!!!

His last name is Satoshi referencing his creator Satoshi Itari Character’s nickname: Reddo, kid, twerp, champ, shorty. and plenty others Reason for nickname: In Japanese his name is not spelled 赤 or pronounced Aka (or the color red), but spelled and pronounced レッド (Reddo). As for the other nicknames, he is a child in some verses, and sometimes Team Rocket would call him a twerp. Birth date: August 8 (for Manga Red) and Febuary 27 (for game Red)

Physical appearance Age: 11 (Kanto), 13 (Johto), 15 (Unova and probably in Masters), 20+ (Alola) How old does he/she appear: He looks younger than he was as a child since he was short amongst his peers, but he grew up to be taller than all of his childhood friends.

Shape of face: Heart Eye color: Brown Glasses or contacts: none Skin tone: pale peach Distinguishing marks: small freckles on his nose that you can’t see unless you’re really close. Predominant features: His unruly and spiky hair that sticks out from the sides of his hat. Hair color: It is naturally brown, but in some light it can look black. Type of hair: spiky but soft Hairstyle: spiked Voice: As a child his voice was high pitched and squeaky at times due to his age, as he matures it gets deeper, but not too deep. He can also sing like an angel, even if he’s embarrassed by this fact. Overall attractiveness: As an adult, lots of women as well as men like him so he’s pretty attractive. Physical disabilities: none Usual fashion of dress: his hat, blue jeans, a red jacket or vest (except in Alola), and a tee shirt Favorite outfit: Pretty much what he wears every day. He feels comfortable in those clothes. Jewelry or accessories: arm band, a mega/z ring on his left wrist.

His favorite puns are Pokepuns Character’s greatest joy in life: being with his friends and family, being with his Pokemon, caring for his Pokemon, ect. Character’s greatest fear: Losing his loved ones Why? He felt like he was going to lose everyone he loved after Team Rocket (or who remained after the break-up) had told him he better watch out and who’s he with because they were coming to get revenge for sending away their leader. Being eleven years old and not used to dealing with this sort of threat, he ran away to the mountains doing his best to not talk to anyone in order to trick Team Rocket into thinking he cares for no one. What single event would most throw this character’s life into complete turmoil? The day he got the letter from Team Rocket. Character is most at ease when: He’s with people he knew for a long time. He’s more comfortable around boys then girls because he worries he has no idea how to talk to the opposite gender. Most ill at ease when: Being around someone he likes (romantically), when there is danger, being around Team Rocket Enraged when: seeing people hurt their friends/Pokemon, being made fun of Depressed or sad when: he loses, when he makes someone mad, when he makes someone disappointed Priorities: his friends (including his Pokemon since he thinks of them as friends) and family Life philosophy: Keep getting stronger in order to protect the ones you love. If granted one wish, it would be: To have his dad back home with his mom. Why? He misses his dad, and he knows his mother does too. Having him back home would make his mother smile.

Places To Visit: Asheville NC

These are some cool as heck places to visit if you ever drop by historic Asheville NC.

The Grove Park Inn

- There's quite a bit of F. Scott Fitzgerald/20's history here. He stayed there in '35 to detox from alcoholism. My grandma used to work here, and it's a really nice place. If you like ghosts and spooky stuff, room 545 is supposed to be haunted by the Pink Lady. You can just visit the place, or actually book a room there. It's really pretty to come around Christmas time.

The Biltmore Estate

- The entire estate is hard to cover in one day, but it's very very interesting. Sometimes they have art events and exhibits going on there, and it's really neat. Really beautiful home interior and it's all very well preserved. Oh, they also sell 1920s style flapper bucket hats, I got one and wore it around. My grandma used to work here to. They have some amazing restaurants on the estate, they turned the old horse stable into one. There's also an inn on the estate you can stay--its nice. Pricey though. Never stayed there before, but since my grandma worked there, I toured the place.

Honeypot Vintage

- This place is on the downtown strip of Lexington Avenue. They sell a lot if 60's, 70's, and 80's clothing and apparel there. It's all in really good shape, but it's a bit pricey. Worth a visit, especially in the summer.

Earth Magik

- I recently found this place and went in there with a friend. They have a super nice pet snake in the back. They sell crystals, gemstones, and the staff are friendly. I bought some ammonites there. They do spiritual readings and palm readings in the back, and have all the crystals metaphysical properties listed beside their displays on the floor, if you're into that. Most if the things in there are very moderately priced, very affordable. I love that place.

Cornerstone Minerals

- A super neat rock shop, but usually pretty expensive. It's always really quiet in there, and they have super nice staff, with very very helpful information cards that they offer with each stone/crystal/fossil you buy. The staff are also very well educated on what they're selling, like, I learned how the entire Orthoceras species went extinct from the staff and nearly cried about it in the store. Check this place out, even if you're just looking for info on the crystals.

Enter The Earth

- This place is located in The Grove Arcade, and it's another moderately priced crystal place. If you can't tell by now, I love rock shops. Very friendly and helpful staff, and you also get info cards there, to. Out of every crystal shop on this list, this place has the most out of all of 'em. While you're at The Grove Arcade, check out re other shops in there. Fudge shop, barber shop, jewelry shop. Not to mention, the 20's history there I worth your while. The building was built in '26, I believe. The interior shows it.

Of Wand And Earth [This place is in Marshall, a small town near Asheville, so it's a bit out if the way but DEFINITELY worth the visit.]

- Really locally owned, very small, and very adorable crystal shop 20 miles from Asheville. The staff are calming, friendly, and love to chat! I've bought a lot from their shop, and they are very very good with prices. They have a pretty wide selection for such a small shop. One woman who works there knows a lot about metaphysical properties, chakra, and meditation, if you're looking for that kind of info.

Regeneration Station

- One real kickass antique place--but not your average antique shop. Massive building, a lot of ground to cover. There's all kinds of different vendors in the building, some sell antiques and oddities, others sell homemade products and handmade creations like jewelry and clothing. There's a crystal booth in there called 420 Love Street, and I've met the booths owner. Very nice affordable prices on the rocks. He doesn't deal so much with metaphysics, just sells the rocks. They sell a lot of 20s-80s era things in there, like clothes, militaria artifacts, books, helmets, dresses, jewelry. All of them are local vendors, to. The owner and founder of the place recently passed away in an accident, and they have a super cool mural on the wall dedicated to him when you first walk in the door. It's a big neon green building, you can't miss it.

Bryant's Antiques

- One of my favorite antique places. Super nice building and staff, once again. There's a lot of 1920s clothing, books, jewelry, purses, hats, and shoes there. There's a bunch of neat knick-knacks in there, and they're always playing 60s music. This place is almost 9,000 square feet, much bigger than it looks from the door. Don't underestimate this store. Nice prices for the most part, and booth C34 always has a sale going on. It's part of like, a little antique strip mall. There are I think like 4 shops beside this one, one sells a lot of coins and keys that are all like, really really old (I got an old British coin there from 1860 something for like .50 cents) and the shop at the opposite end of the mall is like, nothing but 1950s things. Check 'em all out.

The Antique Tobacco Barn

- Take a friend. This place is big as hell. You'll get lost if you're alone in there. It's happened to me before. Successfully managed to lose my grandma for 30 minutes when we went in there together. Wear comfortable shoes, it's a lot of walking and you'll be there for a while. Very cold in the winter, very hot in the summer. Dress temperature appropriate. You'll need to. Literally anything antique you can imagine is in that store. Craziest thing I've seen in there has probably been a prison bathtub and a prison toilet, sold together, or the map of North America that was labelled entirely in backwards German. I'm not saying that to say that I can't read German, im saying that because everything was printed backwards, but in German. I've bought a lot of military artifacts in there. When I say they have everything there, I do mean anything and everything. If you think of it, it's probably there somewhere within the 77,000 square feet that makes up the building. There are 75 different antique dealers there.

Helen's Bridge

- Allegedly haunted by the ghost of a distraught mother who's child perished in a house fire--the mother hung herself from the bridge due to the immense sorrow she felt due to losing her child. A really chilling experience, honestly. I've been there twice, and both times I've been there, I've left feeling emotionally shaken.

Points Of Light

- Another crystal shop!! Very nice display and selection, and the owner is world's nicest. Very very nice place to come and relax in the presence of super calming crystals. Theres some chairs in there, gathered around a very very large sphere of clear quartz. You can bring a book and sit and read beside it. Its wonderful. Very very nice prices as well. I've bought a lot of fluorite from there.

Raven & Crone

- This is a cute little witchy shop in Asheville and the staff are real nice. Incense, wands, crystals, bottles, and advice. Palm readings and free tea samples. Really local and small, very calming place. Check it out, definitely worth your while.

//There's a lot of places I didn't mention because there's too many to remember, but these are definetly places I would recommend going, because they're my favorite. Check out the shops near these shops, and the shops near these shops beside the original shops I mentioned. There's a lot of cool stuff here, and a lot of 20s history.

#the great gatsby #20s history #asheville nc #asheville #north carolina #tourism #f scott fitzgerald #come visit asheville please #add this city to your to visit bucket list because its really kickass #take it from me #i live here #a little queue never killed nobody

Trinkets, Necklaces, 1: Whether they're pendants, amulets, periapts, chokers, beaded strings, chains, charms, lockets or torques, “Neck Slot” type jewelry is a very common item in fiction and roleplaying. These ornaments give an immediate glance into the bearer's personality, wealth, rank or social class and often serves as an iconic part of that character's look. Ranging in obviousness from a soldiers dog tags, cleric's holy symbol or police detectives badges worn front and center over clothing, immediately visible on their chest as a clear indication of who they are, to the cliché locket containing pictures of family or lost lovers that's worn against the skin, just over the heart. Outgoing character's such as Phoebe Bouffette compliment their natural charisma with loud colorful costume jewelry while more reserved examples often go without, though what little ornamentation they do have is meaningful or of good quality like Katara's heirloom choker or Annie's half-a-locket. A locked metal torque can instantly mark the bearer a penniless slave, while a string of lustrous pearls mark their owner a flauntingly wealthy noble. Magical necklaces in fiction are powerful and mysterious from Inuyasha's Beads of Subjugation, Dr Strange's Eye of Agamotto or Yugi's Millennium Puzzle. None of these necklaces are intensely magical in their own right but can serve as basis for a magical or plot relevant amulet. When a DM rolls a d100, the bog standard amulet of protection +1 they were going to give out now has a unique look and personality rather than just a mechanical benefit.

A chain of heavy steel links meant to be worn around the neck. When worn, the bearer can recall the chain's firsthand experience of being forged as if it was a personal experience. The cooling and hardening of the cherry red metal, the hammering of steel, and the rough grip of the blacksmith moving it about. The chain's memories of it's fiery birth are fond and pleasant.

A moonstone pendant that make small laughing noises when misplaced or lost.

A coal medallion that allows its bearer to hear the voices of winter spirits on the wind.

A pendant carved from translucent blue stone that resembles vines or tentacles wrapped around an unseen object. Creatures who stare at it for an extended period of time feel vaguely uncomfortable in a way they cannot properly describe.

A glass pendant filled with water that stays still, churns, freezes or boils to match its bearer's mood.

A simple rounded, pendant on a brass chain that has no effect when worn. Even so, pleasant memories are crucial to survival on arduous journeys.

An old, worn strip of deer hide fashioned into a short necklace. On it hangs a small piece of rock hard, stale bread. If the bearer takes a sniff of the bread, they are momentarily flooded with fond memories of home.

A brass locket containing a portrait of man with fire for hair and smoke emerging from his mouth.

A brass pendant with a jet center. The pendant has different symbols on either side. One is a symbol of a white dove, while the other is that of a birdcage. If the pendant is spun quickly the two images become superimposed on each other so that the bird is both caged and uncaged.

A steel torc engraved with the image of wild boars charging.

—Keep reading for 90 more necklaces.

—Note: The previous 10 items are repeated for easier rolling on a d100.

A moonstone pendant that make small laughing noises when misplaced or lost.

A coal medallion that allows its bearer to hear the voices of winter spirits on the wind.

A silver pendant depicting an eye contained within an eight-pointed star.

A silver pendant depicting the runic symbol of illusionary magic, strung on an invisible steel chain.

An imposing torque made from an animal's jawbone.

A six-inch elongated teardrop pendant made of glowing crystal that seems to have no weight and very little physical substance.

A small bronze torc engraved on which is a scene depicting five people gathering around a mountain with lightning coming from the summit.

A steel amulet bearing the seal of an order of paladins that were excommunicated under suspicious circumstances years ago.

An amulet depicting the image of Orc god Gruumsh, anyone who wears it finds themselves unconsciously keeping one of their eyes closed at all times.

A small, white jade pendant that depicts a galloping unicorn with a cracked back leg.

A silver pendant shaped like a curled-up cat.

A thick rectangular copper necklace set with a small rounded aquamarine.

A pendant in the shape of a candle-flame made of red glass and strung on a chain. The area around the glass is as warm as a candle’s flame but cannot ignite or damage objects. If a creature makes skin contact with the glass itself, they stop feeling the heat. Instead the glass flame feels as though it’s made entirely of ice.

A long necklace filled with large, turquoise beads that when submerged in water, glow an eerie blue. Fish are attracted to it and will attempt and always fail to eat the beads, reacting as if burned and swim away unharmed.

An iron pendant adorned with a devil’s face. Inscribed on the back of this strange pendant is the name “Acererak”. The devil face has a large gaping mouth inside of which swirls a strange black energy.
