Explanation of the dumb comic I made because I’m bad at all forms of writing 🔥 🔥
Rhys is albino and believes in a different deity from their other settlers. Most don’t like them for that, believing that they’re evil or something!
The woman that showed up twice in pt 1 is a witch that’s part of the Bloodmoon cult who had heard of Rhys ramblings quite frequently and developed a disliking to them. Being petty and just not liking those who didn’t worship the Bloodmoon curses Rhys at night.
So the next day, Rhys woke up with a painful headache and aching legs due to the horns just suddenly having grown from their head plus their legs changing. They stumbled around like an idiot, trying to walk to their mirror but they just ended up on tripping. They made a sound from falling but it hurt their throat, strange! They tried to talk but it ended up just hurting more and they couldn’t say anything. All of these changes to their body caused them to tweak out and cry! They decided to stay isolated in their house so no one sees them.
Rhys’ friend, Sylvia, the woman they hung out with the day before, visited them since she usually saw them around by now. As she walked through, she heard rumors but ignored them as she made her way through the place to see Rhys.
Of course she was taken aback by Rhys’ appearance but more so worried about how it happened and what the others would do if they saw them. She was also quite concerned about their inability to speak. She knew she couldn’t do much but offered Rhys’ the small comfort of keeping the situation a secret.
Throughout the next few days, she spent time with them at their place to make them feel less lonely and to check up on their general wellbeing. Though, Rhys’ absence didn’t go unnoticed by the others of course. They wondered about what Rhys was doing and why Sylvia was visiting their place so much. They thought the two are doing some evil stuff or something and decided to confront Rhys. Rhys opened the door when they hear the knock, expecting their friend only to surprised by the large group that had gathered outside their place.
Slylvia heard the previous theories the others were throwing around and realized too late what their plan was so she rushed to Rhys’ place. When she was there, she attempted to speak up but her younger brother held her back. Her father didn’t like Rhys much and already disliked that his daughter was spending so much time with them. So he may possibly punish her if he found out what she was doing and if she was defending them. Unable to face her father’s possible anger, she silently watched Rhys get called a “demon”, “evil”, and cursed.
After everything died down, Rhys was official punished by exiling them. Having only one day to leave and not having much, they only prepared their clothes. Slyvia came to their house to spend one last moment together and offer a gift. She gave them a swallow bird based mask and asked to braid their hair one last time before watching them depart.
