The bird in his hand shivered, as if it had a chill. Calano decided to name the bird Chi. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NameIess Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Nameless stopped Narrating, scratching his head. "Yeah, I have no idea where to go from here. Maybe Bart could try to find a spaceship? Maybe he could search for some magical object to save himself, kinda like the flower except more personal? Eh, I'm not sure." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bookwyrm he/him Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) Rym began investigating the history of this backstory. "Wait, did the thing with the flower actually get resolved? I missed the ending," Bookwyrm asked from somewhere. Edited August 17, 2022 by The Bookwyrm Ninja'd. Sort of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"That's... cryptic. And interesting. Anyways, I was thinking, big picture wise, that Bart would be delving deep into the heart of whatever was destroying his homeworld, going through all sorts of unspeakable horrors that eat away at his sanity and will to live. Eventually, he'd find a piece of Narrativium or something at the planet's core, absorb it, lose all his memories from before becoming a Narrator per usual, and decide that he is now 'Nameless' as he has nothing, not even the faintest shred of a memory of anything about his completely destroyed origins. Sound cool?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bookwyrm he/him Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 Suddenly, Bart appeared. In the present. So either Bart and Nameless were separate beings, or there was some time traveling going on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medium he/they Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 "I saw her face! In the Court! She hated me! I- I... I never forgot her expression." Calano sank to his knees, overwhelmed, as a black void surrounded him. The Unseen Plane. Always, he was sent back here. Always, he was companionless. The Bird came with him. "She... She hated me. She hates me." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shining Silhouette he/him Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 The purple bird put a wing on Calano as they were transported to the Unseen Plane. "No, Calano," she whispered. "You've got it all wrong." She hesitated. "Maybe the emotions were too much for her in that moment. Maybe she was afraid of letting herself be happy. Maybe," she paused, trembling. "Maybe she was trying her best to do what was right for you." Her feathers shimmered in a familiar pattern, shifting color from deep purple to a soothing red and back again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medium he/they Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 "You weren't there. You didn't see her eyes in that moment. There was anger and hate and grief and-" Calano thought back to that moment. Back to the moment the guard pressed his hand to the wrist of his left arm, bestowing the Curse of the Black Angel upon him. He thought back to when he looked at Lana as his left eye bled to gray, as his wings went from white to black. There was more in her eyes. Pain, yes. Sorrow. Yes. But something more... Patience, and... and love. Deep down though it was, there it was. Love. "What..." Calano whispered, looking down at the purple bird in his hands, which was iridiescently shimmering familiar colors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You weren't easy to find." The bird shifted positions. "You see, she realized her mistake early on. But you had disappeared by then."

Medium he/they Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 Calano's mind was going a billion miles an hour, trying to connect puzzle pieces he hadn't seen in years and had forgotten the configuration for. "How would you know? I was the only person who ever talked to her. She told me that. Her own family wouldn't accept her. And I all but betrayed her." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
