Hc from Peter_Ludoka 

"Hey kiddo! Ready for your first day of Palisman carving?" Dell exclaimed

"Yeah. I think I am." Hunter said, Grabbing a few Goreberries from the bush Willow grew for him.

"Alright. Now don't forget to-"

"-Have a plan and mark it out on a paper."

Dell smiled.

"You're going to do great."

A few minutes passed and the first To-be-Owner came by. He was a small child, around 10 or eleven

"Welcome! What is it you'd like carved?"

"A Bat!" The small witch beamed, an innocent glint in his eyes

Hunter chuckled.

"A bat. Alright."

He grabbed a log of Palistrom wood and drew the 4 sides to the Palisman.

*Front, Back, Side views.*

After  a few moments, Hunter took his tools and got to work, stating with the Large ears, and slowly working out the shape as he defined the details near the finish

"There you are."

"Thank you so much!" The witch smiled at him.

"Now you've got to bond with them. You need to tell your greatest desire."

A puzzled look fell over his face.

"I want to learn as much as I can about the human realm!"

"A curious and Courageous soul!" The bat queen's voice boomed from above as she flew down from her post in the workshop tree.

"Hi Yiyi" (I think that"s what people call her directly 🥲)

"I see you chose a Bat. Bats are intelligent companions. Your Palisman shall guide you to greatness."

"Thank you bat queen!"

"Please, call me Yiyi and take care of dear Aliyah."

"Yeah, many palisman are lost, and forgotten. But dwell not on the negative, I know you'll be great for Aliyah. Take care!"

The small witch scurried off, His palisman flying above his head,

"Such a kind child. He'll make a fantastic Owner."

"He will. he really will." 

The Bat Queen returned to her post, more and more owners arrived, but a when certain Future owner arrived, something felt off. He shook off the thought.

"Hello there! What is it you'd like carved?"

" A bluejay"

"Alright." 

He didn't need a plan for this. He went straight to carving.

Head, wings, tail feathers, talons, details. He was done quickly.

"There you are."

An expression of awe was over the student's face

"You must bond with them by telling your greatest wish."

"I want to belong somewhere, and help the people I love."

"Me too kid." He whispered under his breath.

The Palisman came to life, flying around in a circular motion, and nested in Hunter's Hair

"Ack! What the- you're supposed to go with her, aren't you?"

*Chirp chirp chirp*

"Wh-What do you mean you're not her palisman?"

The young girl was confused as to why the palisman carved for her was taking a different owner

"I think they're your palisman."

A bewildered look fell over Hunter

"I mean, I didn't wasn't really in the headspace to take care of a palisman, but my mentor told me I'd regret not having one."

"Huh. Weird"

"I'll be off now, Take care of them!"

*chirp chirp chirp*

"Your name is Waffles?"

*chirp chirp*

"Are you...?"

*chirp chirp chirp chirp*

"You're Flapjack's new form?"

*chirp*

He laughed through the tears of Flapjack's memory

"Well then. Nice to meet you, Waffles"
