- silly, empty, trifling, frivolous, worthless
Vivi gets everything he craves: freedom from his duty and title, an eternal life in Norvrandt, Exarch. Ability to keep his newfound love safe. His magic heavily leans towards defensive, stasis neutralizing anything that’s not darkness-aspected.
Exarch gets his wish fulfilled, too. That mysterious person from the tales, recently fallen for him head over heels, now is his and only his.
The tiny Lightwarden’s docile and clingy. He retains his self, can communicate, but the spark of life’s gone from him and his words. His appetite’s minimal (or does he hold it back?), Exarch’s able to keep him sated by drawing on the Tower’s aether. They prefer not to speak of the far-off, but inevitable day the Tower’s reservoirs become exhausted.
Since the new ruler of the star resides in the Crystarium, people are fleeing from there, leaving him alone with Exarch. No other eaters around, Frivolus isn’t fond of their company not only on his own, but because he protects his lover. Feo Ul would occasionally visit and try to play, but leave disappointed because “he’s become boring”.
Decades stretch on, the human population of Norvrandt keeps dwindling, hounded by the eaters that Frivolus doesn’t bother to control. Crystarium falls into disarray and becomes overgrown with the Il Mheg flowers.
At some point Exarch’s the only human left alive, the sole thread that keeps the two worlds from Rejoining.
Afterword/personal notes.
Vivi already shares a lot of traits with the pixies. I’ve made several other concepts, the tiny version just felt right, especially considering his self-image. Plus, everyone’s Lightwardens seem to be enormous, I saw a niche for myself in the opposite corner :>
Headwings and hair that magically flows on its own because he’s an airhead. His eyes are “reversed” from normal: black iris, white pupil.
