The days pass

And I barely feel them

Lately I've been sitting still

In another world

Fighting to get out of it

Always letting things slip by me

Important moments

The hours pass quickly

And I try to run to catch up

But I'm so apprehensive of finally

Be within their reach

So something I've been pondering on for weeks with my worldbuilding.

The skyfolk use "lad" and "lass" as their primary masc and fem gender markers, with "laddie" and "lassie" as more affectionate variants.

The problem I'm having is finding a fitting gender neutral term that fita that same vibe, both because their society is pretty accepting of enbys, it'd be appropriate that they have the language, and they're now regularly interacting with species that don't share the same cultural or biological idea of gender.

The main things I want from it:

Fits in nicely alongside lad and lass

Has/could have a similar affectionate term

While potentially conveying youthfulness, it doesn't directly imply childhood

Fun to say in various British accents

While they have "folk" that's more of a collective noun and just doesn't have the same vibe. L

I have a potential homebrew solution, maybe something like "lana", "lannie" as the affectionate, but if there's an existing term in the English language, or something in a related language, I'd rather try that out first.

Any suggestions or thoughts would be much appreciated!

Training continues...

The next several hours were spent practicing different fighting styles and learning how to work together.  Much to Morpheus’ surprise, Melinoe was a very skilled fighter and far stronger than he would have given her credit for based on looks alone.   In the end Melinoe was having to admit to herself that Morpheus might have earned some of his reputation honestly, and that, while she still wasn’t going to put up with his ego, he was that good.  She’d almost say he was as good as she was.  

Then it came time for weapons training, and neither of them truly trusted the other to engage with actual bladed weapons, so they did agree that for the time being, they would use practice weapons.  Trust, after all, was earned through working together.  Until they were used to one another, there was the possibility of accidents, and neither of them particularly wanted to lose their head or a limb due to a slip.  Once they were more comfortable, then the real weapons could come out.

Again, to his surprise, Melinoe not only held her own but bested him more than once.  If he was going to have to have a partner, then she was definitely someone he would pick to fill that position.  For her part, Melinoe was getting through that ego and exterior of Morpheus and finding him easier to stand than she had anticipated.  Whether it was because they weren’t as unevenly matched as he had anticipated or there was something else at play, she wasn’t sure, but she was glad for whatever it was.  

“Before we move on to actual weapons, I have to admit that I’ve been holding back on something.”  Melinoe had been trying to gauge when the right time to reveal her secret weapon was, and this seemed as good a time as any.  While she was skilled, there was one other thing that helped her when hunting nightmares.  Stowing a dagger inconspicuously, she once more faced off against Morpheus.  “See if you can take me down this time.”  With a wink, the fight was on again.

“Really?  Is this where you take off clothing and flirt?” Morpheus highly doubted it was, but he had now been up close and personal with the svelte brunette enough that he wouldn’t have complained too loudly if she had.  His brow was raised as he waited for her to answer.  She was giving him a run for his money, so what more she could have unleashed, yet hadn’t, did interest him.  

Her eyes rolled, and she scoffed, “in your dreams, Morpheus.  And, only there, is that going to happen, might I add.”  She shook her head and laughed.  “No, I have a nifty little trick.  See, I was born while my mother was in a dream due to the battle she was engaged in.  The dreamer, they left me with this.”  A smirk forming on her lips, she raised one hand and snapped.  

At first Morpheus wasn’t sure if he was supposed to notice something and then his eyes went wide as he did.  “How are you doing that?”  His eyes again looked around the room that now matched the inside of his living room.  It had taken him a moment to realize what she’d done because he’d been so focused on her.  Now he wasn’t sure if he should be impressed or disturbed.

“When you are born within a dream, the dreamer can give you extra powers apparently.  Mine is to cast illusions.  The dreamer bestowed it so that the nightmare wouldn’t see me.  I was born within the nightmare of a six year old, I can’t really complain with her choice of gifts.  Kept her and I safe till my parents defeated the nightmare monster.”  Melinoe let the illusion fall.  “It’s also what has allowed me to go after nightmares far more powerful than I am.  You can see I can hold my own even without it, but it has helped when on my own.”

Morpheus had to hand it to her, Melinoe could have kept that ace up her sleeve, but she had revealed it to him.  It was the first sign of trust and he knew better than to throw it in her face or belittle it.  Since there was no way for them to get out of the partnership, he might as well be thankful that she was on his side than able to use that trick against him.

“I have a feeling that may come in useful in the future for us.  Even with two of us, distraction and misdirection is never a bad thing when your life is on the line.  Thank you for trusting me with that knowledge.”  He inclined his head towards her.

“If we’re going to keep one another alive, always good to know one another’s strengths.  And that is one that I won’t factor into our sparring.  I don’t see the benefit in it, unless you do.”  Melinoe had considered surprising him with it, but decided that might be one surprise not to be revealed in the middle of sparring or battle.  Sometimes pissing off your partner was the absolute last thing you wanted to do.  Knowing Morpheus’ temperament already, with him it was definitely better to not keep anything back from him.

“Agreed. How about we get weapons training started before the higher ups come and grab us for that meeting.  I’m sure that neither of us want to deal with them in a bad mood.”  He smirked as he flipped a blade out of his bag and sheathed it in a discreet location.  He had no doubt that Melinoe was once more going to give him a run for his money, and if neither of them walked away without a few bandages it would be a miracle.  At least neither of them would probably need stitches, which would be a first for someone sparring with him.

Day 5 of trying to get you invested in my original book "Bound By Name" by posting short character intros!

"Spring", one of the cooks in the Palace kitchens and also the resident mother figure. A chubby satyr woman who always has a hug and a plate of delicious cupcakes for anyone who's struggling just a bit too much that day.

Random notes: Her name might be revealed in the book but honestly I dunno, maybe not. Her apron is also constantly covered with flour as she specializes in baking. The magic she has is almost entirely fire related, and while it could be used for destruction, it's mostly used to make sure no food gets burnt

Based on some worldbuilding I was doing with my partners. Mainly me and @molonginkdragon were working on the wind-chasers which are creatures on the broken tusk and companions of both feng-min and ancient elves.

They were made by the god of life, the god of air, and the god of water all collaborating on a creature. This is the life cycle of a wind-chaser into juveniles. From that point, they get larger with more fur and fin and Whiskers. When they become ancient, they become sapient.

Wind-chasers after becoming older can shape-shift between a smaller form and their normal size. This makes them great travel companions. Colors and patterns are similar to that of Feng-min. Typically anything from koi to tiger to snake patterning and colors come in a very wide range. Fiercely loyal and protective of their own in the wild.

Faerie Graves

Faeries are immortal but not invulnerable, and can die from being wounded, for example, though it is rather rare. If a faerie dies, their gem will sprout into a tree that will grow where they fell. These special kinds of weeping willows with multi-coloured bark and leaves are known as faerie graves. They can be found around the world, as it is custom to leave the gem wherever it fell.

A long time ago, the bitterness between the two faerie monarchs became so great that the two groups of faeries waged a full-on war with each other. After a particularly bloody battle, that saw many faerie lives lost, the war ended. The field where this battle took place is now covered in fairy grave trees.

This faerie graveyard is tended to by a little dark faerie named Antiopa. The faeries do not like to feel sad, so they try not to think about their dead. It is up to Antiopa to mourn the dead for all of them, and so she is always crying.

Antiopa's design is based off of the mourning cloak butterfly (Nymphalis antiopa).

The Akkrins: (3/7 races) Akkrins are a successful species, having adapted to the the multitude of harsh environments found across Akkri. According to legend, Akkrins gained their wings by sewing fabric directly onto their arms. The fabric came from the cloak of Death, who had pitied them in their attempt to traverse the new lands. By accepting the fabric, they could fly over the desert sand, which was so hot that it burned skin immediately.

Races (left to right): Calvuu, Nah’ke, Catr’aena

This is based on something completely random and mostly original work based. But.

If you were in a world where some objects contained beings I would describe as sort of malevolent demon faye. With the help of these demons, the object that they inhabited could do a magical special act. The object could do various things. Perhaps it control any vehicle, allow somebody to see through walls, perhaps shift an object's matter. The only requirement was that you were able to be around the object with the demon inside.

What would that object be? And what would it be able to do.

Day 9 of trying to get you invested in my original book "Bound By Name" by posting random fun facts!

Last/Family names in this universe do not matter! That's not to say they don't exist, but they're just used to tell where you're from or who you're related to and have 0 magical property
