and cheese

I am present, but without presence I am a masterpiece drawn, but a spectacle I will never be I am a mark left and felt, but cannot stain What am I ..?

Keep them safe, always

I don't want there to ever be a future for myself Where Magic is something to be loathed That I could ever hate it I don't want to ever lose this passion I hold For something I've learned to love I don't want to ever lose this faith I hold For this confidence that has supported me I want to continue to learn, I want to continue to love, If ever something shook my faith, my love, my passion for Magic I ..wouldn't wish — I don't want to be a Witch anymore. — Spellbound, A future that lay elsewhere

Imagine ..being your brother's Watchful Eye and assigned Knight.

Wouldn't that be beautiful?

Huh? Ophrys? Yeah, he's my older brother. Ladies used to be all over him.. all the time. Was an absolute pain in the ass trying to seek him out for a one on one chat. Almost never happened. I don't really know ..what happened. One day he's himself, the next.. I was told he'd lost his mind. Another, that he was to be sent to Adanlee to soothe what remained of it ..to give him peace and calm, they said. A week, that the ship he was on had capsized. A month, that he'd become one of the Brimmed Caps. The Crucible Witch. Another month, that he ..eugh. Sorry. That there was a lot of unpleasantness that followed after that. How's a kid to even process all of.. any of that? — Landriel, regarding Ophrys

The two brothers fell back onto the bedded grass, both gasping for breath after a lengthy bit of sparring. Haha.. Hah ..Damn. Seems I'm on a losing streak — and against my baby brother, no less ..! Hah. Haha ..! More like you've been slacking. Ladies holding you back from your training? Maybe. . . . Okay, yeah ..Huh. Something up? Not really.. It's just quiet. Don't think we've really had a moment to just ourselves in a while. Yeah.. It's a nice quie — eahh ..!? You okay there? Urgh.. Yeah. Got something in my eye, I think. Damn, that hurt.. Blink it out, jeez. Making me worry for a second there.. — Landriel and Ophrys, Last words

Where will our roots meet, I wonder?

Off to where the rest of me has gone

The next, I'd heard he'd lost his mind.

What remains still, where everything else has gone?
