Sapphire Spirit Update!
In honor of our protagonist's (Grace's) birthday today, I thought it was about time I posted an update!
Sapphire Spirit is still very much in the works! As I got into the weeds of it, I realized I needed to rework a lot more than I thought! I'm basically rebuilding the world, but it's all for the better! I'm rewriting the creation story and hope to share it soon!
If you've stuck around despite my lack of posting, I love you so much. This story means a lot to me and I just want to do it justice!

ok, so, this has been bugging me for a bit today, but, what was Sky's reaction to when he first met Warriors? like there's got to be a strong emotion there given that Fi is also a sword spirit.
so yeah, I'm just wondering what you have planed for that.

(also great artwork it's absolutely stunning and looks really yummy)
((dont question it))

SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO RESPOND TO THIS, I HAD TO DRAW IT.
(Lore under the cut. Sorry, I have a lot to say about this haha)
Sky’s reaction when he first meets Warriors? Awe.
They find Wars last- or, well, they find his sword. The others are notably confused because they were looking for the hero. The temple that they were led to is completely empty except for a single sword atop a pedestal. Surely their lead was wrong- this can’t be it. Maybe this is the hero’s blade? And he will return to the temple? Or is this just the wrong spot entirely?
While the others are arguing with each other about what to do next, Sky steps up to the blade. It’s… a lot fancier than the ones that the heroes are accustomed to. Gems are inlaid into the guard, fabric is woven around the grip in a familiar pattern. There are diamonds that run down the blade and a piece of blue fabric is tied around the ring of the pommel. This level of decoration is not usually suited for a sword to be wielded in battle. In fact, the only sword that he’s known to be this beautiful and but also effective is currently strapped at his side. As Sky walks closer, he can see the blade glow unnaturally, and his voice echoes through the temple:
“It’s a Sword Spirit,” he’d say, reaching out to the blade but not touching. Not yet.
There’s a mix of emotions when Sky looks upon the blade. He’s relieved, for he had feared that Sword Spirits had been forgotten entirely. His heart aches at the cold weight of Fi at his side, empty and quiet where she used to be full of life. It’s good, he thinks, to see a new sword shine so bright. He’s a little afraid, he’d admit, since he has unsavory memories of a different Sword Spirit. Phantom hands at his shoulders, tongue at his ear, black blades arcing in the air.
Still, Sky can’t repress the way his heart leaps in excitement, a smile at his lips, even as his hand falters in the air. Another Sword Spirit, here, right in front of him. Another opportunity to make things right, to fix things. Oh, how he misses Fi.
“This is the hero we’re looking for.”
And the others would approach, their curiosity piqued by the reverent tone of Sky’s voice. (Note that Sky had just joined them about two-ish days ago? He was the second to last to meet the Chain, the last being Wars).
No one else has met a Sword Spirit before, not even Wild or Time (who, at this point, everyone thinks is a spirit), so they’re all a bit hesitant to accept Sky’s words at face value. Sky explains that he’s met Sword Spirits before, that the Master Sword herself is a spirit. Puzzle pieces click into place but they still need more convincing. They’ll believe that Sky’s correct: that the sword in the pedestal is indeed a Sword Spirit, but they don’t agree that it’s the hero that they’re looking for.
At least, not until the spirit bursts from his sword in a flash of white light, floating in the air as Fi had done so long ago. The eight heroes stand, eyes wide, before the glowing metallic figure. Sky could cry in at the joy he feels as the spirit utters his first words to them:
“Hello, Masters.”
. . .
• Sky inherently trusts everything that Wars says because he trusted Fi. Fi didn’t lie, she was always helpful, and she told him exactly what he needed to hear every single time, even if he didn’t like it. She was calculating and intelligent and Sky (well… Link) could not have survived on the Surface without her. He trusted her with his life. Sky has no reason to think that Wars would ever lie to him, either. Especially in the early days, when he’s more robotic and less human. And so, he trusts Wars to always be honest.
• This will totally definitely 100% not be a problem guys, I promise. Wars would never lie to Sky about something dangerous. And it totally would never result in Sky getting hurt. And it’s definitely not why Wars looks so upset in the sketches I did yesterday. You can trust me. I promise.
• Sky and Wars talk a lot about Fi. Wars is curious about her, since he’s met her before in his own era and doesn’t know what happened to her. So Sky would explain that she went to sleep after his first adventure, and Wars would stare at him blankly.
“Sword Spirits do not necessitate sleep, Master.”
“I-” Sky would look away, something terribly vulnerable in his eyes. His voice would be sad and quiet as he continued: “I know.”
• I know I’ve talked about this before, but Sky is the most knowledgeable about Wars. He understands. And so his interactions with Wars are a lot easier for the Sword Spirit than with the others. The others don’t like being called “Master.” They don’t like the matter-of-fact way he talks, how he calculates every sentence before speaking it, how he uses percentages and simulations to back up his arguments. (How he always wins arguments). And Sky doesn’t necessarily like these things either, but he’s always patient. Always gentle. He allows Wars to call him “Master” because he understands how much Wars needs it. When Wars goes off on tangents and describes every bit of data he can think of, Sky sits and listens and they talk and it’s just so easy. Sky is probably Wars’ favorite, just for that.
• The REASON that Sky is so supportive of Wars goes back to the one thing that drives him through literally everything in his life: guilt. He said goodbye to Fi much too soon. She was just starting to open up, to feel and express her emotions, when their time ran out. He never got to know the person she’d end up to be, and he’s not making that same mistake again with Warriors.
I think I’ve talked about this before? How when Sword Spirits are young, they talk robotically and don’t express themselves, but as they mature and are around more people, they kind of adopt their traits and become a more well rounded person? Fi, for example was only around for what? A few months? Ghirahim had thousands of years to develop. That’s the difference between “According to your social customs, I should provide you with my personal designation. Fi is the name I was given,” and “You may call me Ghirahim. In truth, I very much prefer to be indulged with my full title: Lord Ghirahim. But I'm not fussy."
Sky wants to see Wars grow in the way that he never got to see Fi. He wants to know Wars. Not just as a spirit, but as a friend.

TSA,FS: So she has been working well I presume?
LS,TBS: Of course. What about Endless Beyond?
TSA,FS: She's... okay. A bit distracted at her work, but she should get the hang of things soon.
Tumblr media
LS,TBS: Perhaps that isn't the best course of action. Endless Beyond should be on task, after all, that's what we've created iterators for. A shutdown seems best, and to rework her code.
TSA,FS: ... Perhaps you are right. I need to dwell on such an idea though. I will consider such options.
LS,TBS: I understand. In my position, I would go through with such actions. She was rather rushed due to the recent creation of the Space Unit. This is quite evident with her... puppets design.
Tumblr media
TSA,FS: Her puppet is unfinished due to us not getting the proper materials from Ethos. You know they're rather stubborn, and are quite against Endless Beyond's creation.
LS,TBS: To be blunt with it, her puppet is quite mismatched. It looks like you patched everything together as if it were putting together paper and glue.
TSA,FS: Well, Lost Spirit, Thirty Broken Shards, How about you try to fund Endless Beyond when everyone is against it? I'd certainly enjoy seeing her made with a complete puppet instead of being made up of spare parts.
LS,TBS: I suppose the mismatched puppet and the rushed creation speaks quite loudly on its own. If in your position, I would rethink about being her creator, and abandon a defect.
Tumblr media
RSbSS: Take that back.
LS,TBS: Ah, give me just one moment Ten Stars Above, First Supernova.
Excuse me? Ruby Skies by Sapphire Shores, that was not addressed to you.
Tumblr media
RSbSS: You can't talk about her like that. She's alive like the rest of us!
LS,TBS: Ruby Skies by Sapphire Shores, you will not raise your voice to your prime administrator, especially over something so trivial.
RSbSS: This isn't a trivial matter. This is a line a basic respect. This is someone who provides information that none of us could obtain otherwise.
Tumblr media
LS,TBS: I didn't think I would be having a discussion with you about such, but my stance stays firm. Quite the few of your local group has issues as well, such as the problem with Atlantis. Eight Crashing Tides shouldn't have control over her citizens, and Fifteen Pearls, Setting Ocean Mist is an idiot for allowing such ridiculous ideals.
RSbSS: That doesn't mean anything, and maybe it would be better if you actually heard our wishes out.
Tumblr media
LS,TBS: Ruby Skies by Sapphire Shores, you will not suggest such changes. I will not have it.
RSbSS: But-
LS,TBS: Ruby Skies by Sapphire Shores. I said enough of this nonsense. You-
Tumblr media
RSbSS: I don't want to show what went down but uh...
Tumblr media
RSbSS: it's not something I'm proud of. I... hurt them. They came back but... I shouldn't have done it.
Tumblr media
RSbSS: Because of it, I had had my puppet's arms taken away, I was humiliated, and feared by my own ancients. ... I... messed up big time.

@apocryphis asked: [ 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 ] : receiver hears sender calling their name while asleep. (from nahida, and could be either nahida hearing dain call for her, or dain hearing her call for him, whichever is most ic for dain!)
Tumblr media
Bearers of innocence are known for being unable to die, might as they try. The reason for this incapacity is none other than the lack of complex feelings established in their psyche that makes them perceive the world around them in whites or black, the in between, a sea of colors. Such statement would hold the truest for children, but so does for Aranara regardless of the wisdom they may come to acquire over countless of moons since their birth as a seed.
And it is through reacquainting himself with them as what few reminisce as Golden Nara and others know by tales told meant to be preserved, and fighting alongside them once again in order to keep Marana at bay that Bough Keeper knows the time has come. Stalling Marana, uprooting it and vanquishing it will be only a temporary solution to the ailment that threatens to shower Sumeru anew as Eleazar did the first time lest something is done to prevent it while they have time. If that comes to past, a domino effect is bound to occur, the biggest being the fall of the Sovereign of Dendro whom slumbers under dunes of sand that used to be verdant fields. Her demise naught short of a nuclear bomb of dendro to overflow over the rest of Teyvat and break the natural balance betwixt elements.
But they still have time, and one of them must be the bravest.
◜Bu'er.◞ Long ago has it been since the last time they had a direct conversation in this manner, where both of them allow their psyche to connect once again and see each other in an otherwise pitch black realm of the mind— all byproduct of their unique connection to an even greater network source in this world that brings them together... and Dáinsleif's own with her predecessor. Or rather, her past self in the previous samsara. No matter how much time may come to pass, Dáinsleif knows she listens. She always does— partly due to the misfortune that very few if any would talk to her directly.
Tumblr media
◜Reluctant as I am to be bearer of bad news, the time has come. And time waits for no one.◞ For even for long-living beings as them, the changes of the world will not cease from happening. Albescent lashes flutter close to meditate a few moments his next words. Be that as it may, that doesn't change the fact that the God of Dendro has been reduced to nothing in the minds of many whom either believe in Rhukkadevata still or something else. An orchestrated plan that will lead to nothing but catastrophe if it continues its destined route with nobody to interfere. The one who must interfere first is her and her alone. ◜...I am deeply aware that it is easier said than done, but a chain of undesirable events are bound to occur if it isn't stopped. Should that come to pass, not even you would be able to do anything against it.◞
Namely the fall of the Devourer of Gods if she isn't given the freedom she necessitates to act before it is too late.
◜It may be terrifying... and you may be exposed to even cruder truths than what you know. But there are those whom only need to be tipped in the right direction to go with the flow leading to your eventual release, those that will believe in you at the smallest proof of your existence and your reassurance that you never abandoned them.◞ Unlike lies spread about her, about her incompetence and the need to let inept sages do an even worse job than she herself would if she were allowed to grow naturally among people. If there is one caged god that can do miracles in a state of enclosure, it is her. Even more paradoxical yet, one last breath of inspiration from a non-believer: ◜I have faith in you.◞
Because... if there is anyone who understands the importance of stepping in and healing Irminsul, it is you. If there is anyone who never gave up on her people even if many of them already did, it is you. If there is anyone who can pick up a failed attempt at purifying Irminsul entirely where She left it...
It is you.

Sun & Moon are spirits who guide lost souls back home or to the other side. They find the little souls crying in the dark and sing songs to brighten their hearts. Promising children that they are safe and will get them to where they need to be.
The Golden one warms the little ones in the cold realm. He makes the children giggle with his silly banter, dances and stories. His songs brighten their souls with warmth and love, helping them continue on their journey.
The Sapphire one sings lullabies to soothe the heartbroken and scared ones, wrapping his arms around them in a gentle hug. He tells stories of love and hope. He will carry the little ones that grow tired on their journey. His songs calm their hearts and minds, helping them cross over.
The Emerald one deals with the conflicted souls who are unsure of their destination and the ones not quite ready to leave yet. He helps restless souls find peace and when his job is done, he hands the little ones off to the others. He is very kind and understanding, patient too; he knows just what to do.
The Crimson one deals with the children who died horrifically and gives them justice. He hunts down the ones who made the child suffer and deals out judgment for their crimes.
The Obsidian one deals with the little ones whose souls were either twisted before their end or became twisted and caused harm to the living while in the cold realm. The souls of the irredeemable are vanquished by his claws, obey the laws of the cold realm, and you have nothing to fear from him.
The Lavender one deals with the little ones whose lives were cut too short, for the ones dealing with heartache, for the ones left behind. He helps the children stuck in between realms, the ones teetering on the edge of life. His hope is for the little ones to live out their lives happily. He's seen too much sorrow from the eyes of the children. From broken homes, to bullies, to their own self-worth...he wants them to find peace and love.
If you plan to use this au please credit & tag me?~♡
The Crystal one is a human soul who is caught between realms and helps the guardians with their tasks. Since the guardian's powers are limited in the living realm, The Crystal one helps them gather the tools they need to either pass judgment, to see if the child can return or other little odd jobs they can not complete.

I'm curious, in your recent post talking about reapers, does that connect in any way to the bargainer statues in ToTK?
YES!! It does!
I’m not gonna get into it right now, because I feel like talking too much about it will be spoiling some things but… I mean. Think about the purpose of the statues. The purpose of Reapers.
They’re… kind of the same, don’t you think?

@rosegoldkingdom​, toot too too too toot!
The ship seems to be empty. No souls can be tracked there..... well. That is a lie. Thousands upon thousands are there, but they are all within the Manila Galleon. Literally. Within her floorboards, her rails, her masts, her sails. She is anchored in place, her sails furled, and yet she moves against the waves as though to steady herself like any living thing would on the surface of the ocean. As the creature floats downward, the sails unfurl a bit then furl up again, her rigging doing the work without anyone behind them.
Should the guest land on the top deck, her rigging cables from the booms unroll from their pulleys and droop close to him. The ends then... wiggle at him? In greeting?
The ship typically will dissuade intruders or even outright kick them out. She is likely making an exception with a spirit... or just anyone who isn't human.
youtube
The flute playing continues. The guest can hear the music more clearly as the ship opens her hatches to allow uninhibited entry. One can follow the music to the gun deck, where the flautist lounged in a hammock by one of the open hatches. By all means, the flautist's posture on the hammock isn't conductive to proper breath control, yet he is able to play melancholily with little effort.
Then he stops.
Tumblr media
"Are you all back already? I thought the landing party was going to be gone longer than that." The flautist hasn't turned his head to notice the monster below deck with him, his eyes to the ceiling and his vision partially obscured by the flute.

» @maquiscursed asked: the amrita pool shines a beautiful, glowing greenish-blue, a most welcoming sight for two travellers coming to pay their respect both to those who fell in a most terrible battle, and old friends who still dwell (float?) in these sands. "the pari seemed very happy to see you." nahida comments with a little smile - and a happy pari is a rare enough occurrence to be noted. "you must have a lot to say to each other. do you want to take some time before we continue on?"
Tumblr media
Relief is a state Dáinsleif hardly ever finds in his numerous travels to every corner of this world, pursuing a lost cause that threatens to spread —even more than it already is— the root of evil and overthrow everything under the heavens with little regard to the innocent that live here, as little as they had for other fellow Khaenri'ahns not only in being one step closer every time they would do anything remotely triggering to the gods above, but in the future too where naught would await surviving Khaenri'ahns but disgrace and a name tainted by the deeds of another that would never resonate with their own beliefs.
The perpetrator of said relief is none other than the Amrita Pool, a gem of water concealed in the deepest dunes of a combination of desert and foliage in this unique patch of verdancy touched by divine that is now known as no less than a sanctuary that only receives those pure of heart —why would he fill this criterium remains a mystery to Dáinsleif still, but perhaps it is not so far-fetched to deduce that it has to do with a certain companion of his that, unbeknownst to him, still holds him in higher regard than he would himself—.
God of Wisdom's comprehensive observation makes icy sapphires soften at the notion that the Pari —or anyone, for that matter— would be happy to welcome his presence back when in reality it is no more than bringer of dangers and teller that an issue cannot go unchecked any longer. Dáinsleif allows quiescence to permeate some more, to relish a tad further in the joy it brings before he turns to face Nahida with an air of felicity hard to part from until a while later. ◜I am inclined to think that she will appreciate more a leisurely conversation once the matter at hand is resolved first.◞
Tumblr media
Crystalline blues rise towards the Sign of Apaosha in the sky, defied once again by the cursed existence of another deity to never find rest as a result of a sin— and defilement attached to her soul. ◜As well as... we cannot neglect the unconvincing words of that man that has in his possession knowledge of Khaenri'ahn discovery, and an even more suspicious interest to collude with the Pari when there is a clear reason why he is not allowed pass to their sanctuary.◞
Strong arms cross over his chest, a sigh escapes past roseate lips before stellar gaze falls upon Nahida anew. ◜It will be a matter of time until he shows his true colors, if my suspicions stand true. For the time being, I say we follow through the necessary steps to perform the rite. Do you have any other suggestions in regards to our approach to solve this crisis?◞
