Macie and The Lonely Guide ♡

"macie had been wandering the woods for days, hopelessly lost, searching for the fire temple of myth. she had been an adventurer since her youth, and was eager to get back out there, now that her kids had grown up.. but shes gotten a little rusty, and her sight isnt what it used to be. she encountered a towering winged figure with a radiant staff, strolling through the woods, so she asked them if they knew where a fire temple might be- the figure seemed somewhat surprised to see her, but nodded, and said they could guide her there. the guide was silent for much of the time, but macie had an easy enough time holding a conversation all by herself- talking about her adventures, her hobbies, her family. the guide seemed to appreciate the conversation, content just to listen to macie talk. they walked all of the morning, but macie grew tired.. she wasnt out of shape by any means, but keeping up with someone twice your height is no easy feat. the guide offered to carry her the rest of the way, and macie agreed. they managed to get there before dusk, where macie thanked them for accompanying her, and asked if she would ever see them again. the guide nodded, and said 'someday, macie- maybe sooner than you think'. they patted her on the head, and continued down the path. macie waved farewells, and headed into the temple" -the historian

Providential Repose

hi hi! guess we are on week 3? posting a random akuta art, it was inevitable lol. took me about 2 hours to make, i like how this one turned out. anyways, thank you for checking out my art! i hope you have a lovely weekend! ♡ "a blinding flash, and then silence. such a peaceful silence. a perpetual fall, finally halted. it was like a warm embrace, a moment to take a step back, and reconsider. time enough for a change in perspective, a newfound clarity, and resolve. a fiery endeavor, reigniting the heart long forgotten"

Ribsworth and Cattington! ♡

week 17 "sir ribsworth, one of the finest royal guards in all the land! the king long ago posted him near a small village, to protect it from.. well, he doesnt remember what, but hes done an incredible job! no attacks in over 500 years, and he was only supposed to be there a season or two! talk about going above and beyond.

the townsfolk have also been very busy- so busy, he cant remember the last time hes seen one. he was worried hed have to spend his whole shift alone, but a brave cat cyme out to join him! ribsworth called them cattington, and they becyme fast friends.. cattington would bring him shinies, and ribsworth spent his breaks fashioning some simple armor for them.

he often tells cattington how he looks forward to seeing his princess again- hes sure shes missed him and his wonderful hair. she said she would write him as soon as she found time, so she must be pretty busy too. cattington suggests he write her some letters, to keep her spirits up- ribsworth loves the idea, and they spent their entire break writing updates on all the things that have happened over his shift"

thank you for checking out my work! the show goes on~ much love <3

Mayor Rainoke ♡

"the small town of apris was often frequented by raiders, due to it's distance from the capital's armies- it was often left to fend for itself. sick of their lazy capital representative, rainoke ran for office themself, promising a real defense and fairer representation- the capital representative didnt even show up, so rainoke won.

its been about 20 years, and apris still isnt the most pleasant place to live, but rainoke was certainly been one of the best things to happen to it- they got a proper town militia trained, and they improved living conditions somewhat. rainoke has becyme a de facto commander, but theyve gone a little overboard, most think.. one doesnt need classed fendite steel to fend off raiders.

none know this overboarding more than rainoke's daughter, darla, who grew up with their parent's militia mindset. rainoke showed their affection by training darla harder than anyone else, but this only caused great strain on their bond. darla grew up distant, and rainoke doesnt know where they went wrong.. they worry darla will get involved with one of the dreamer gangs, as shes been showing an interest in magic lately. only time will tell" -the historian

thank you for checking out my work! know its not pride month, but i really like rainoke, and thought id do some art of them finally. much loves! ♡

Miss Melody ♡

prompt 11: undeath "times have been rough in the village- the elementals are way past due to return, and an apocalyptic event seems inevitable, but the villagers seem.. hopeful, unafraid. as if theyve been comforted, by an inaudible song, and an invisible hand. the people keep on working, and living their lives, while the children play, laugh, and sing. there is legend of a kind lady.. an ancient spirit, who passed long ago, back before time had dawned, when the universe was empty, and cold. she was not content with how her world ran, so she waved her passing, and sang of a dream, of a different existence.. one where none go unloved, nor suffer more than they can bare, as she had- and even in death, can know peace, or live a thousand different dreams, each more wonderful than the last. as she sung it, it was so, and her song becyme rock and tree. river and mountain. realm and mind. peace and comfort. the people of the village have passed down this tale and song for many generations, and no one knows who first sung it, or where it cyme from, but it brings peace to the village in difficult times.. a comfort in loss, a song of love, and hope.. hope that, things get better, and everything will be alright, and we will be together again, in the end." -the historian

thank you for checking out my work! this marks the end of jrawly, only made it 11 prompts through, like last year- was a rough month that really hampered my ability to draw, but im glad i tried. i should be back to the normal weekly arts this weekend. i hope you have a good day! much love~ ♡

The Kise of Akutay ♡

week 12 "her arrival is accompanied by great winds and rain. often preferring to dwell in her domain, she does not visit the mortal realm often.. but, when she does, it is a sight to behold. a tall masked creature bearing angelic wings, a wide brimmed hat, and tall rain boots. she carries the quillstaff, a symbol of guidance and creation, and an ethereal tool for changing the world around her. how she plans to enact this change, is yet to be seen" -the historian hi hi! welcome to week 12! this week's was kinda crazy.. 1800x1500, i usually dont do such a big size! this one took about 6.5 hours, and has 157 unique color values. im pretty proud of it ^^. anyways, thank you for checking out my work! i hope you have a wonderful week ♡

Crystal Hunting ♡

prompt 8: jockey "happy age day to me! since im pretty alone today, i manifested myself a 'pony'- im calling them birdie. theyre way better than a regular pony.. better eye sight, no need to eat, minor dark magic abilities, and i think they can fly? i assume they cyme from one of the rings near where i grew up.

decided to take them crystal hunting, because its my age day and i like shiny things, and purple- thought the extra sets of eyes would be a good help. gonna be bringing home a hatful" -Akuta

thought id do a drawing for my age day- not happy about being older, but oh well.. thank you for checking out my work! ♡

Serenity of Mondel ♡

"mondel, once a fairly small mining town, never had much of an economy.. at most a general store, since neighbors usually just covered each other's needs, being a small interconnected community. its metal deposits werent nearly as numerous as in drekow, so most empire sponsored miners went to the south for their trade.. but this all changed after the great serpent appeared, blocking off the great lakeside trade over night. mondel quickly became the valley's new primary mining city, and before the season's end, the population had already doubled, with more soon to arrive. a few of the older generation were upset with the drastic change in community, but most were welcoming of the new community and culture, bringing trade and breathing new life into the old town. far above the town, on the unreachable peaks above, an old mage watches, delighted to see their old town stronger than ever" -the historian, 404sd hi! i apologize about the long absence.. 8 months?! i guess ive been unwell for a while.. but im finally back! call it a season 2, perhaps? ive been practicing, and i cant wait to show you all the art ive been working on! see you all next week, much love! c: ♡
