Also very curious about the bad luck curse…

​Ooh boy. The fun part >:D

So for context: I headcanon that most curses in Atmos need to be stored inside crystals or a vessel capable of storing crystal energy. This lead to the detail that if you break the crystal vessel, you break the curse. Curse magic is a dangerous art that's difficult to master. It's very easy for a novice curse carver's attempts to backfire.

Part of my plot for a 'Season 3' Far Side fic that I still need to write, Cyclonis decides to delve into the art of curses, and for one of her first attempts she tries to put a petty bad luck curse on some random Far Sider.

It backfires. Onto her. Now she's the one cursed with bad luck.

Cue a string of misfortunes as she tries to carry on across the Far Side and escape the Storm Hawks, but as she's repeatedly robbed, attacked by animals, nearly eaten by giants, they start to catch up with her. By the time they do the shaking wet rat energy has completely overtaken the Hot Topic Edge.

This all culminates in the Hawks catching up to her, her trying to run, and promptly running face-first into a tree and getting knocked out cold.

The curse wears off eventually but until then she's not having a fun time.

More Azar! I may be obsessed with them. Just a sketch for now, hoping to find time later to do a full render! Also wanted to share a drawing of Piper I did awhile back!
