The Lodge
(Trials of the Six, Chapter 1 Scene 1)
WoW Birthday Whump Event Day 14 (2nd Iteration): (Alt) Amnesia, Poison
Whumpril Day 30 ("Out of Time")
WoW Birthday Whump Prompts List
Whumpril Prompts List
TW: unconsciousness, amnesia, fighting, blood, stab wounds, death, cornered, poison, headache, dizziness
So… fun fact: @whumperofworlds and I share a birth month! Hers was on the 11th, and mine is today! So in addition to Day 14’s contribution, here’s a snippet using one of the alt prompts for one of my personal favorite whump tropes: amnesia, with the first character I ever gave it to, Hiel.
-----
“Get up, kid.” A man’s voice, rough and distant.
“Come on, wake up!” A woman’s voice, soft and frantic.
A hard slap sent sharp pain across his face. His eyes snapped open. He lay on the floor of a wooden lodge, where a roaring hearth lit the scene with warm light. A woman crouched over him, exhaling in relief when his eyes opened.
“By the skies, Hiel! Don’t scare us like that!” She rocked back onto her heels, brushing red-blonde hair away from her face.
Hiel pushed himself into a seated position, dizzy. “What… what happened?” Something large and furry pushed against him, and he turned his head to find a giant cat, as long as he was tall, nudging his arm with her nose. He hesitantly petted the fur behind her head.
“When I get my hands on that woman, she’ll wish she’d never been born!” Hiel flinched at the sharp tone from someone he hadn’t noticed, a man with dark hair and beard who leaned over a table on the opposite end of the one-room lodge, arms folded.
“Korfel,” the woman began, getting to her feet, “Elya is gone. No clue where, but we accomplish nothing dwelling on the past.”
The man’s name was Korfel. Why did Hiel not know that? Why didn’t he know his own name until the woman addressed him as Hiel? “What’s going on?”
The woman turned to him, surprise and confusion in her expression. “What do you mean?”
Hiel rubbed his aching temples. “I… I don’t know anything.”
“You mean you… don’t remember?” She cursed when he nodded hesitantly. “Now I want to murder a healer.”
Korfel scowled. “Just what we need,” he muttered angrily. “Can you still freeze things? Fight?”
“I freeze things?” The space behind Hiel’s eyes started throbbing. He pressed a hand to his eyes in a crude attempt to soothe the aching. “Why does my head hurt so much?”
“Probably a side effect of the "medicine"—" Jarsali traced air quotes around the word— "Elya gave you. You were out for several minutes before we noticed something was wrong.”
Hiel struggled to his feet, leaning heavily on a nearby chair. “Who are you people?” he demanded, panic rising.
The woman shifted away from him slightly, unnerved. “Well, I’m Jarsali. The angry one is Korfel. You’re Hiel, and the giant fanged simoldon is Nial, your pet… cat…thing?”
She was about to say something else before the door burst open. Two people ran inside. A pale man with blue hair was first, heavily favoring his leg. Right behind him was a dark-skinned woman who slammed the door behind her. They both carried packs that seemed to have been filled in a hurry.
Korfel shoved a chair under the knob. “I asked you to get supplies, not have the whole town up in arms!”
The woman held her hands up defensively. “They attacked us first!” She flinched at the look Korfel gave her and the blue-haired man. Muffled shouting came from outside the lodge, and Hiel realized that asking who these new people were right now was not the best move.
The door shook as someone from the other side kicked it. Korfel cursed under his breath and grabbed a curved sword from where it had rested on the table. The new woman tossed her bag on the floor and drew a thin obsidian knife, and Jarsali snatched up a quarterstaff from where it leaned against the wall.
The chair splintered with a crack, and the door flew open, sending it across the room and narrowly missing Hiel. Warriors in leather armor brandishing spears poured inside, engaging the defenders. Korfel charged those in front, knocking spears aside and slashing wildly at their owners.
Jarsali swung her staff at the leg of the closest warrior with such speed Hiel briefly lost track of it. With a sickening snap, the warrior collapsed to the floor, moaning and clutching his broken knee. Nial used his body as a springboard to get to the one behind him, claws out and snarling viciously.
Hiel backed away, feeling incredibly useless. Even if he remembered how to fight, there was no way he’d be able to do any good in this state. He noticed that the blue-haired man hung back as well, though he seemed like he’d be more formidable even with his injured leg.
A warrior somehow got past the combined strength of Jarsali, Korfel, and Nial. He charged straight at Hiel, who stumbled away so the chair he was leaning on was between him and the attacker. The warrior kicked aside the chair with ease and charged.
Before he could get any closer, the woman with the knife darted inside his reach and thrust it into a seam in his armor. He stumbled back, clutching at the wound. The woman was relentless, pressing him back and baiting him. The warrior overextended his spear, and the woman slipped within his reach, driving her knife through his throat. He collapsed, blood bubbling from the fatal wound.
“You’re welcome,” the woman said as she passed him, wiping her knife off with her skirt and dashing towards the wall. She ran her fingers across the wooden panels, searching for something. Hiel picked up a leg from the broken chair and watched her curiously, keeping a wary eye on the battle.
The woman tapped along the seams between panels, eyes narrowed. Another warrior got past the others and ran straight for the woman, whose back was to him. He would have stabbed her through the heart with his spear, but he instead inexplicably flew backward, right into the spear of one of his allies.
Korfel quickly finished them both off with a well-placed slash. “We're out of time, Raiann!” he shouted as he engaged another.
“Almost!” Raiann dug her knife in between two panels and pried one away, revealing sunlight and a snow-covered landscape. A river flowed nearby, with a boat moored to a small dock. The boat’s sail was tied down, it wasn't going anywhere quickly. A cold wind gusted through the opening as Raiann pulled off another board and sheathed her blade. “We’ve got to go!”
The blue-haired man limped past Raiann and stumbled over the threshold of the impromptu back door. She caught his arm and helped him down, taking on some of his weight and half-dragging him towards the boat. Hiel glanced at the warriors trying to force their way to the front, unable to get past Jarsali or Korfel.
“They’re escaping out the back!” One of them shouted, seeing the opening.
Korfel cursed and retreated. The tip of his blade dropped to the ground, and he reached out his hand. The ground below their feet rumbled as his expression calmed, but his eyes burned with anger.
Nial sprang back towards Hiel and stood before him protectively. Hiel hesitated for only a second before staggering towards the opening in the wall. With a light “mrrp?” noise, Nial leaped through onto the snow after him. Hiel shivered, wrapping his arms around himself as the giant cat accompanied his stumbling steps to the boat that bobbed in the river.
He clambered on the boat and leaned heavily on the railing, the dizziness returning in full force. Nial moved to his side and settled down next to him. Jarsali, staff in hand, leaped onto the deck and dropped it with a clatter onto the deck. She shoved a bundle of heavy cloth at Hiel as she faced the stern. “As soon as Korfel gives the signal, be ready to move this rig!”
Hiel unfolded the heavy cloth to find it was a thick coat. He pulled it on gratefully and opened his mouth to thank Jarsali. But before the words could form, the lodge shuddered violently.
The small boat rocked as the water began to swirl around. Hiel flinched and grasped at the side of the boat for dear life as Korfel appeared through the opening, running at a full sprint to the boat.
He threw himself over the railing and shouted something unintelligible as the lodge shook like an earthquake was assaulting it. The sounds of rushing water filled Hiel’s ears, and the boat suddenly accelerated, moving downstream at an impossible speed. The last glimpse Hiel had of the lodge before it was out of sight was the walls collapsing in on itself, warriors fleeing the falling building.

i got to see the tiger show!!! which is tigers getting hold of pieces of meat in Fun and Enriching ways while zookeepers talk about conservation efforts and how they keep their tigers. i also learned that tigers have very sensitive paws and therefore need to dip them in water first to get used to it before they go swimmy.
#australia adventure#sopping wet beasts#i care them....#these two are named sally and sage and they're siblings and they're 3.5 years old!!#they have 7 tigers and several separated areas they rotate them thru bc tigers gotta roam#i thought i filmed the part where sally got in the water but I HADN'T PRESSED RECORD :(((

"That photo will circulate the globe while most people outside the UK & royal watching won't see photos of the Waleses in Birmingham." Totally. That photo was on my local news station!

A little something I did for lunar new year!
Since it's the year of the water rabbit I wanted to try and see if I could find someting to incorporate the water tiger from last year and then I came across the Chinese rabbit god Tu'er Ye.
He's the moon goddess' rabbit and was sent down from the heavens to cure people. He's also often depicted riding a tiger (or dragon, or kylin, ...)

it feels like a hundred years. a HUNDRED YEARS!!
#i'm crying forever at this song#it's so much.....#even though it is obviously about war i feel like it's the perfect illustration of living your normal life in times like ours#the absurdity of it all. the desperation and the feeling of dread yk yk#->i open my mouth and my head bursts open.... a sound like a tiger thrashing in the water#one hundred years of blood indeed#anyway this is DEPRESSING but i love this song so much

I think I might have somehow miscalculated my birth year
#hare.pdf#Don't ask.... I was on a lot of drugs in the 80s so my memory is super fucked#I'm asking for the sort of grace people grant Harrier here#But the short of it is I may not be a water tiger I may have messed up my age by like 2 years

The Pace of Rain
7-22 - Original.
Finally, finally actually made a piece using the watercolours our lovely void Fuure sent us, to get this really neat effect we wanted to attempt...~
This is meant to be a giant tiger spirit, it's stripes giving rain and mist as it roams the lands~
Granted this was just general sketch paper, it held out well, and it was real neat to work on~ Really wanna do more with 'em, ahhh--
You can find phone photos below read more, to try and show that the stripes go all the way to the top of the back, albeit very faint ((we have troubles getting traditional pieces scanned to show true colors))
Only we may use, do not steal.
Do Not Repost/Use/Remove Caption.
Like this? Consider comms/ko-fi~

right now there is a temperature anomaly of +15°C in western europe. Combined with the threat of a megadrought, we can foresee many catastrophic consequences:
the decrease of energy production, as nuclear reactor cannot be sufficiently cooled down when water has a temperature above 30°C, and because hydroelectric dams are stopped in times of drought to economize water
the start of a very stark food crisis, as many crops stop growing and producing when temperatures reach around 40°C, and we are already observing a decrease in wheat production
an even worse heatwave in July-August, which are always the hottest months of the year, killing thousands from hyperthermia
and meanwhile, oil execs have planned hundreds of new projects, that have been qualified of "climate bombs" by scientists
#its gonna reach 37 in paris. its a first in history in MAY#thirty seven. three degrees below fourty#they project 43 in southern spain#i know i told my parents i probably wouldn't live to see 50 but id like to at least reach 30 please#my parents...... in the south west there's been an ivasion of tiger mosquito#this year they arent even out because it pretty much has not rained since february#the choice is getting the dengue or not eating i guess#im... not looking forward to water and food scarcity

Ok i need to stop being emotional about these flowers. theres something wrong with me
#the purple ones mean soo much to me anyway though Like 1 of the good parts of my childhood for real#like at this time of year i remember like easter my mom would really go all in for the eggs and hide them in the yard#she like actually cared about that stuff ive got to give it to her at least a little#and there were these purple irises everywhere...Because of the time of year#years ago at the barn too they planted a ton of them around the smaller arena and i took some home to my dad#I dont know if its like my favorite flower i dont know if i HAVE a favorite flower#i dont THINK of them as my favorite flower#i kind of think of forgetmenots and um like just roses. I mean you cant go wrong with a rose#i also like babys breath a lot but the name is weird...I also like sunflowers a lot#I also love the tiger lily...we had tiger lilies at our old house too in the backyard#the like giant orange and pink ones#Tbh its weird because my mom or dad never like watered or took care of these plants at all they were just sortof there#and came back every year#even now we dont like water the garden really it is pretty self sustaining#i guess its just the climate here

“‘K, this is it guys. Standby.”
We’re now in the most turbulent part of the year. It’s the middle of eclipse season since we had a partial solar eclipse last week. Next Tuesday we’ll have a full lunar eclipse on 08 November (USA election day).
Hopefully we won’t have any dirty bombs or nukes or anything terrible happening regarding the war in Ukraine. *fingers crossed* on that one, particularly as Norway’s military is now on high alert. Hopefully no more pipelines are going to be blown up.
I’m not as hopeful that we’re going to avoid more war in the coming days & weeks as Mars just went retrograde on Sunday (two days ago). But I am hopeful that we’re going to get a Harkle divorce/separation announcement within the fortnight based on what I said back in early September:
“Mars moves into Harry’s 7th house (marriage/partnership) on 15 October. It goes retrograde on 30 October and then moves back into his 6th house (sidereal Taurus) on 14 November. That looks like a good possibility for Harry’s marriage to go ka-boom.”
Regardless...
“All hands brace for turbulence.”
