Often times there are things that lurk in the darkness that we are far too occupied and naive to notice. We convince ourselves that it was a trick of the eye. We blame it on exhaustion. Those things we see when our senses are weakend and we are vulnerable. The fear plays with our minds, we reason, and drift off to precious sleep. None of it could possibly be real. Those with the Sight know do not get the luxury of that lie. We See, even when we wish we couldn't.

O' LADY MOON, rosalie hale
THE ILLUSION IS IN OUR EYES. . . ˗ˏˋ Native American tribes used to tell lots of stories. There were legends about a great spirit they heard in every wind, saw in every cloud and feared in every sound as well as there were rumors of imaginary creatures roaming around, and spirit warriors who abandoned their human bodies to defend their lands with claws and pointed teeth, growling loud and clear. Yet, as the darkness fell and tall grass danced in open fields filled with silence, the old ones whispered quietly into the pin-cushion of sky, "O' Lady Moon, your horns point toward the east: Shine, be increased; O' Lady Moon, your horns point toward the west: Wane, be at rest." 【twilight.】 【3.1.24 ★ 3.25.24】 【completed.】Complete

Light Eternal
The realm of the fairy's, a world alien to mortals, filled with beings of legends and folklore. It is a land only a hairs breadth away from earth, yet completely unreachable. It is a word of strange and seemingly inconsistent rules, governed by magic and its unpredictable nature. Fairies of all types reside in this world, each specializing in different magic, ranging from the most basic elemental magic, to shape shifting, and even traveling between worlds. Within this world is a forest so deep and dark, it is named Forest of the Eternal Night. It is home to dangerous beasts and monsters of myth, yet within the deepest darkest reaches live the beautiful Night Fae: Talented tailors, dream weavers, and master artisans. Each bears a different color moonstone embedded in their chest, which supplies their powerful magic. Along side each Night Fae exists a spider familiar, a creature whom converts dream energy into the finest silk imaginable. They lead extremely private lives, but one day a young woman dares to leave the confines of her forest home to see the world beyond. What will await her?Complete

𝐖𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐔𝐩𝐨𝐧 𝐀 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫 // 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐲 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥 | DISCONTINUED
He discovered her by chance, a glimmer between the trees, weaving a home from petals and magic. Embry wasn't meant to stray off patrol. Wasn't meant to watch. Wasn't meant to fall. But how could he not, when she glowed like sunlight through leaves and smelled like the edge of a dream? Tiny. Wild. Impossible. Everything he never knew he was waiting for. And now, he's hers; heart first, soul deep. Even if she lives in a world far smaller and far brighter than his own. Even if she belongs to the stars, and he was born of the earth. Even if wolves were never meant to love fairies.
The Absent Blue of Your Gaze (Linked Universe)
In search of a new danger that threatened to assault Time's Hyrule, the chain walked into the deep Lost Woods, guided by their leader who opened the path through the darkness. What they didn't expect, though, is that the danger might sometimes be closer than they think. It might be in the nearest tree, in the flower that stands alone at their feet, in the blade of grass that looks slightly suspicious. Who knows, it could even maybe -just maybe- be in the shape of their own footsteps. In the wind that lightly hits their faces. In the darkness of their own shadows. They don't know if it's standing right next to them. Or watching them in their sleep. Or talking to them using words that feel somehow in the wrong voice. It's hard to believe that it could even be staring directly at their eyes with the gaze that used to be blue.Complete
