“I’m... I’m so sorry, Vee,” Raine quietly rasped out, fighting against the tight lump that had formed in their throat. But, the former head witch knew their apology would mean nothing now. Words spoken in a selfish desire to relieve the guilt that had pressed heavy onto their shoulders when they had learned what that tyrant had done to the young basilisk -- to all of their kind-- yet they should have known by now that it wouldn’t have changed anything. Not for them, and certainly not for Vee.

“I knew what Belos was doing. I knew where he kept you-- where he kept all of you, and I had done nothing to stop it." There was a faint quiver in their voice, the bard’s green eyes unable to meet Vee’s gaze. “I believed the narrative about your kind without bothering to look further, and--” Their jaw tightly set itself, a long, slow breath drawn into their chest as they shook their head. Another failure in their broken plan, another blind eye turned from those who had truly needed their help where they had offered none. “I don’t expect you to forgive my ignorance, but I promise you, Vee; I won’t just sit idly by again. We will find a way to help the others.”

Raine isn’t necessarily the best at jigsaw puzzles. Not to say they don’t like them, though! They do, it just may take them a little bit to actually complete one. So, if you’re looking to finish a jigsaw quickly... well, you might not want to ask for their help.

@lostdopple​ asked:      "Why did you recreate me and the rest of the basilisk?" ;; to philip wittebane

    “ what an impertinent question to ask. ”   turning his body to peer at the basilisk in question, belos quirked an eyebrow, a faint smirk coming to his lips.    “ honestly. you ought to be grateful. i gave you life, did i not? perhaps that is something to consider before continuing to question me and my motives.  ”   bringing the basilisks back from extinction was certainly a feat, and one that belos had been particularly pleased with. when he’d heard about a creature that had once had the ability to drain magic from living beings, he had seen.. an opportunity. 

   his ultimate goal was to destroy magic, after all --and basilisks had the power to drain magic.. if he could utilise that power, discover how it worked.. well. perhaps it would come in handy some day. creating them and bringing them back from extinction had been.. child’s play, more or less.  

   after all. people had once thought grimwalkers to be extinct too, hadn’t they? 

@lostdopple​ asked:

“Seek the key. Fear the Lock”

@lostdopple​ sent: "Lilith what exactly is going on? You seem angry about something?"

@lostdopple​ "Luz! You can't go around touching random plants in this swamp! I know you wanna meet the other basilisks but we can't do that if your eaten by a demon flower or something."

The human offered a small, sheepish smile at Vee as they scolded her, a single arm lightly clutched against the girl’s chest. A red mark from where the plant’s coiling vine had wrapped around their arm remained. A considerable ‘fortunate’ consequence to their foolish behavior given the alternative outcome had the basilisk not been there with her.

   ❝ what in th’ name’a Thra is this ? ❞

         Truly, an odd creature to be finding out in these waters ; but then again, the ocean is still such a large unknown filled with critters that have yet to be discovered.  hundreds, if not thousands of different species of beasts have yet to be founded, collected, & named !

         Though, just as there are many beasts the mariner has yet to witness & tame, there are just as many vermin of the sea to exploit...
