Camelot is being attacked by a sorcerer. Somehow the knights manage to capture them, but the sorcerer has one last ace up his sleeve:

Sorcerer: you can never win, Arthur Pendragon. I am going to steal the soul of the most valuable person in this room and you can do nothing to stop me!!!

Arthur: and who is that? Can't you be more specific?

Sorcerer: *grabs stone around his neck* well, i'm curious, too, Arthur Pendragon. If it's not you, then I'm afraid you're not worthy of being king!

Arthur: *hand around sword tightens* everyone in this room is equally valuable!

Sorcerer: is that so? *Enchants the stone*

....

A second later, Merlin collapses to the ground

... *silence*

Sorcerer: what the fuck? A servant? Really?

Arthur: *panics* what did you do to him?

Sorcerer: i have His soul, idiot. I told you already! Hold on, why is he standing up? How- oh fuck

Merlin: *raises to his feet. Eyes unseeing.*

Arthur: Merlin? U okay? Do you still have a soul?

Merlin: *doesn't answer* *eyes turn gold*

Sorcerer: this is bad

Merlin: *stretches out hand*

Sorcerer: okay, this is really, really bad. You guys should run

Arthur: what? Why? Why are his eyes like that? What's going on?

Sorcerer: look. It was never my attention to hurt anyone. I just needed the money. The soul thing was my escape plan should I get caught. But we really need to get out of here, because we will all die if we don't

Merlin: *eyes still golden* *attacks*

Sorcerer: *barely manages to deflect the attack* yap. This was a bad idea.

Arthur: merlin has magic?

Sorcerer: so not the problem right now. He IS magic! And I have no idea how to return his soul. Seriously! Run!!!

Pondering my peculiar new bell-orb.

Lots of clang-y metal sounds and clockwork, but also this beautiful angelic (slightly devilish) ringing…

I like it.

Very… ponder-y…

Anyways, I learned some soul magic, so that’s good.

I may or may not be capable (and probably not qualified) to fuck around with souls!!

Yippee!!

@alchemical-overreaction?

@good-wizard?

@the-moth-wizard-of-mayhem?

@the-random-wizard-from-space?

Wanna fuck around with this?

7 Signs that you are tied with a Red Thread ❤️✨

Hello everyone!

There is a Chinese/Japanese theory about a Soul tie- The Red Thread theory of fate which is my favorite. It talks about how everyone is born with a red thread and the other end is tied to the person who is your soulmate in this lifetime.

The whole title would be SIgns that you are tied with a Red Thread of Fate with Someone.

Free will exists and nobody should be forced to be with a person because of a red thread.

The signs are the following-

Premonitions or Dreams- Having vivid dreams of premonitions about a mysterious person who feels incredibly familiar.

Intuitive feelings- Feeling a strong intuition or inner knowing that there is someone out there who is meant to be a significant part of your life.

Longing or Yearning- Experiencing a deep sense of longing or yearning for a connection with someone you haven't met as if there is a missing piece in your life.

Symbolic Signs: Noticing symbolic signs or recurring themes in your life that seem to point toward the existence of this person.

Manifestation: Engaging in practices like visualization or manifestation and feeling a strong pull toward attracting this person into your life.

Unexpected Encounters: Having unexpected encounters or chance meetings with people who seem to have a connection to the person you haven't met yet.

Unexplained Emotions: Experiencing unexplained emotions or reactions when thinking about or imagining this person, such as a sense of warmth or comfort.

Thank you

Infinity ❤️

Book Release: Aphelion, The City of a Billion Stolen Souls

Aphelion is a love letter. In incomplete one at that, which is still being written as I make my way through the series. But as each of its seasons is finished, a book gets released! And here we are! My first official 'omg I published something' novel: Aphelion, The City of a Billion Stolen Souls

If you like science-fantasy with soul-harnessing magic and tech, a cyberpunk (or aetherpunk, those two are having fisticuffs) flair, and a slow burn simmering away in the middle of a (mysterious) zombie apocalypse, then Aphelion may just be right for your bookshelf. Literally, because you can buy all of book one's 531 pages in gorgeous print!

What's in it?

In a world where tech runs off the concept of one's soul and where dragons steady cosmic scales, heroes are shaped in the shadow of an ancient grudge. Horizon's Crown was an Earther triumph; a stage at the frontier of the settled systems, a city of hope and dreams and infinite potential. Now, under the watchful eye of its orbital island, it straddles the line between dead and dying; a city of nightmares and endless sorrow. Varrett Vild Vickers belongs into a pilot's chair. He's meant to dodge asteroids, to race dragons, not chase credits so he can pay rent while HC's major demographic clicks its teeth at him and tries to eat his face off. But it's fine. Really. He copes. Or that's what he tells himself, all the way until a woman falls from the sky and turns his already upside-down life very sharply sideways. Armed with nothing but her worst-kept secret and a ledger of lies, Sophya Soulwright tricks her way into Horizon's Crown, looking for not only her sister, but for redemption and a meaning to a life she’s never held dear. What she finds instead is a city trying its hardest to live, and a man who courts death every step of the way. He's infuriating, tireless, and after a glitch binds their souls together, he is now stuck with her.

Don't want this chunky darling on your shelf and prefer to read it digitally? Dontchu worry, Taff has you covered. I release Aphelion as a free-to-read web serial, both on Campfire (where you can tip me if you like to get world building extras) and Archive of Our Own. 'cause like I said; Aphelion is a love letter. I just want to write it and share it.

But that doesn't mean I don't want to hear from you if you choose to give it a chance.

Where to find Aphelion:

On Amazon (531 pages, paperback).

On Goodreads (oh gosh I have an author profile there now).

On Campfire Explore (where, if you choose to tip, you may feel the sudden sensation of an ethereal cat slinking around your ankles in appreciation).

And on Archive Of Our Own (where it all started).

BIG BIG BIG thanks to @hermit-writes for her amazing typesetting skills (and book photography) and of course @drawinglinestoconstellations for the cover and interior art.

Wait, Danny has evoker skills? Can he summon souls and spirits at will or was it just an (older) halloween thing?

Danny: though it has been some years since I seen Evokers use their magic, so I wont be surprise if their methods have changed over time.

(na its not just a Halloween thing :P also forgotten how long colouring and shading takes omg)

"Oh, to be touched by a warm pair of hands.. there is something special in that. Touch my skin but look into my eyes like you are trying to see my soul, touch me in ways that you have never touched anyone before.. touch me until I can feel it in my soul, touch me with fire, passion. Make me laugh, touch me in all of the places you know that I like.. discover new ones. Place little kisses on my skin and taste what you are doing to me.. just touch me."

Warm hands make for tender nights - eUë

Cub heard only screaming. He curled into himself in the darkness, hands pressed against his ears. The screaming didn't stop, though. He couldn't think. Couldn't process anything. Just curl into a ball and listen to the screaming as his skin seemed to spark with electricity.

-

Cub heard only screaming. Only this time, it seemed... No. It wasn't the Vex. They'd abandoned him. Cut off the infected vessel to save Themselves. Cub didn't blame them for that. No, the Vex wouldn't come back for him. Perhaps he should just let the screaming darkness swallow him. It might be a better fate than facing the Vex again.

-

Cub heard only screaming as skulk veins wound tightly around his body, holding him still. His limbs were in strange positions, though he wasn't sure if the pain he was feeling was physical or if his brain just expected the pain and decided he should feel it anyway. Veins wound around his throat and he was sure he felt them penetrate into his brain again. A heavy weight pressed down on top of him. Perhaps he was the cause of the screaming.

-

Cub heard only screaming. Everything felt like it was on fire. Felt like he was drowning in lava. The putrid stench of skulk was even worse when it was burning. Cub retched a little, knowing he'd never get that smell out of his nose. He felt wings on the back of his neck, but- no. It couldn't be the Vex. They'd severed a limb to save the rest. That was fine. The Vex could sacrifice him if he was too much of a danger to them. He'd made his peace with that long ago.

-

Cub heard only screaming. Only this time, the voices were muffled and indistinct. He felt like he was drowning, even though he could feel no water. He wasn't sure he could feel anything. Just... sinking. He was sinking. The mud had found him in the swamp and he was sinking into it. It was soft and quiet and he closed his eyes, feeling something embrace him as he gave up. The sweetness on his tongue was memories, right? His brain conjuring up what Vex magic tasted like as what felt like a pair of arms held him close, cradling him gently. His brain was fuzzy. Was that a kiss on his cheek? Didn't know. Too tired to think more about it.

-

Cub heard only laughter. Vex laughter. Memories again, right? That had to be it. He felt dazed and exhausted. Heard Scar's voice in amongst the laughter. Smiled. Maybe Scar had found him. That was a nice thought. He closed his eyes and drifted off.

-

"Cub? Can you hear me?"

"That you, Scar? That's nice. I'd like your voice to be the last I hear before I die."

"Oh you're not dying, not on my watch! The Vex won't allow it! Just hang on, okay? I'm getting help. We can get rid of the skulk. But I think there's some magic only you can perform. I'm not skilled enough with the Vexnos and the infinity stones. So don't you dare die on me, okay? Because I need you. The Vex need you. Jellie needs you. Just hang on and listen to my voice. I hope the Vex magic is helping give you a bit of energy back. I'm not sure if it can do that! But the Vex told me to do that. You've been through a lot! Just hang on though, Bdubs and Joe are on the way. I need their help for this final stage. Then we need you to do some magic with the stones, okay? Promise you'll hang on for me?"

"What...? I don't... Okay? Sure? I can hang on for you, Scar. I just feel so tired though. I dunno if I'm up for any magic. You do it. I wrote all about the stones in the grimoire. You can work it out from there, right?"

"The Vex said it has to be you. There's just no way for us to know the true extent of the corruption. Only you can do that. Just-"

Scar's voice fell silent, but not in a troubling way. Cub suddenly felt like he was floating, and maybe he could see the surface of the water, with light glistening through. He blinked. Vex magic pooled on his tognue and it was like ambrosia. His body was singing as Vex magic pulsated gently through him. Maybe he wasn't dying after all.

"Is that better? I hope it's better. I'm not as good with this magic stuff as you are. I just do glamours and bake cookies and make magic crystals! You know the deeper stuff that I dare not touch like the stones. Like Vexnos. I-I can't do that magic. You need to do it. So just. Come back to me, okay?"

"I'm here, Scar, don't worry. I'm not going anywhere."

What kind of magic exists in your world?

oh boy I have a whole lengthy document that goes into detail about my magic system lol. I'll try to giev you the simplified rundown, and while I don't want people to outright copy all my personal story ideas, I don't mind if people take inspiration from it. I like sharing my ideas!

essentially, the world is full of magical energy. it's referred to as "ambient magic". This ambient magic can affect different species in different ways, being connected to souls and usually manifesting in some form of enhanced ability by way of the nervous system. I haven't decided how much this applies to animals. It is also a matter of debate amongst magic-biologists whether people get extra powerful abilities because they are people, or if having the extra powerful magic boosts is what drove them to evolve into sapient people.

through the nervous system, pretty much every people species has experienced some boosts to their endocrine system, allowing them to have longer lifespans than their base species might usually have. This is why elves live multiple centuries. Some people species simply got a bigger endocrine system boost than others, and it seems to be shifting in recent generations, bringing some longer lived species to a shorter lifespan while the shorter lived species are gaining years. Like the ambient magic is starting to balance them out.

Outside the endocrine system boost, pretty much every people species has a bonus ability. In the sylvanids (elves, vampires, drow) it varies more. Elves have the most varied abilities, because they adapted to a wider range of environments. So one elf might have a boost to the muscular system, but another might have a boost to their immune system. Vampires and drow kept their enhancements in the endocrine system, with vampires specializing in the production of chemicals in the salivary glands and drow just going hog wild with their bizarrely specific hormones.

The orciformes/urukin (orcs, gnomes, haufin/"halflings") the boost went to the occipital lobe. they each have a different form of "vision" that aids their lifestyles. It's kinda like a species-specific form of synesthesia. Orcs can "see" the way ambient magic gathers around living things, gnomes can "see" the trace lines between things like stars and safe hand/foot holds on cliffs, and haufin can "see" by scent.

There's a lot more people species, of course, but these are the big two groups of related people. So that's a sample of how the ambient magic affects people by giving them some form of enhanced natural ability.

Outside of this, I have three methods for controlled magic. People discovered ways they can get ambient magic to do specific things.

the easiest and most mundane form is written magic. Dwarves and gnomes pioneered this. Runes and sigils carved into wood, bone, or stones/gems/metal, as well as those written with organic-based inks or blood, can make magic do a few simple things. it's used largely as a replacement for many things we might use electricity for, such as stove tops, indoor lighting, and water heating. Circular magic sigils created on flat surfaces that can be moved to break or join the lines allow people to turn them on and off.

spoken/singing magic, largely developed by elves with some unique forms developed by other groups like goblins and merfolk. this form of magic requires more careful study and focus, as a caster cannot break concentration or fumble their words/song. It's inefficient for mundane tasks, but has a much wider range of uses than any other form of magic. Controlling organic matter is a main function of this type of magic. Elves will sing trees into homes, doctors will work with a chorus to aid in medical operations.

the final and most risky method is soul magic. ambient magic is connected to souls, after all. people have developed a lot of spiritual rituals around this form of magic, so it is mostly used by religious leaders, like clerics and priests. To channel magic through one's own soul, deep meditation and a strong will are required. Many rituals involve harming one's body in some manner, always with a bone tool. This is because you can access much stronger magic if you put yourself closer to death. these rituals are usually supervised with magic singers around to ensure the soul magic user does not die. anchoring items like heavy ceremonial accessories or incense are often used as well. It is a very niche form of magic. It can be used to enhance one's personal ambient magic ability, use one's own life energy to heal another person in an emergency, and also communicate with the dead.

There are also some ways to combine the three forms of magic, though this usually just means a combination of spoken and written magic. Experimenting with magic can lead to dangerous results. There are also forbidden things, such as necromancy, soul binding, and time travel. these are all forbidden because they come with devastating side effects and don't actually work the way people want them to. there are limits to what magic can do, and trying to force it to do the impossible will always backfire.

We meet

We get hypnotised

We lose onto eachother

Within unwordly dance.

The music casts a spell

That's reaching our souls

Moving us on steady waves

Of passion and of love

Powerfully gentle,

Mystically strong.

Charged up magnetised,

Pulled to one another,

Compelled that we've found.

The stars collapsed aligned

In eternal moment

That starts and ends with us.

Everything makes sense now

Within an unexplicable

Intrinsic yet safe feeling.

Unfamiliar yet recognised,

That makes us, together.

Finally breathing deep,

Within safety and abundance,

Sharing infinite mystical love,

That burns in endless passion and creation.

Starry nights sky

Late sunsets

Mornings sunrise.

Infinite.

Freedom.

Quote

A wizard and a witch sharing a dream can form a soul bond if they agree to marry in that dream. It's common knowledge among people raised with magic, but no one told Harry or Hermione this was possible. To be fair, it hadn't happened in three hundred years, but a warning would have been nice.
