#warlockkin

(5/2/17) Neo and Morgana were from my Road life. If you remember (which you probably don’t!), Road was an immortal Warlock, and he and the other 11 Warlocks sort of created life on Earth after the Holy War (I say sort of, because really, Li, Jeki, and Moshi did all the work. The rest of us just did the add ons to make people dynamic). Well, Humans screwed up, and all died out, so we restarted. With the new life, we knew we had to switch things up and so instead of basing the life of the Angels and Demons, we based them off the myths of the Humans. Neo and Morgana were our first attempts. 

Morgana came first. She was a Sorceress, who we created in our image. She was immortal too, and had a lot of magic, although not as much as we did. But we decided that giving people that much power would make them fight. So we made Neo, who was also immortal and a dragon. But Li, the one who was actually creating all this, was convinced that we shouldn’t make the people immortal, as the change and freedom to procreate was better than having the same people for eternity. I think Morgana and Neo actually told her this. So then she began creating the other New Beings, and the new world was born. 

When my family began dying out, some of them (Ko, Aro, and Hati to be exact), went to Morgana and Neo, who we’d been friends with all along, mind you. They asked the two to keep an eye on me, since everyone knew I wasn’t going to handle my family dying very well. And I didn’t. Hooo boy I really didn’t. I turned all my pain inward, and was constantly trying to kill and hurt myself. But it didn’t work. I was immortal, and the Warlock of healing, so it really didn’t work. I couldn’t even feel the pain for longer than a few seconds. 

Morgana and Neo pulled me back from that, as well as from every following breakdown every ten or so years. We were best friends, and they were the closest people to me after my family left. Morgana was a salty and fantastic person who knew she looked like a goddess and flaunted it. Neo was the original Mom Friend and was always the one pushing me to take care of myself. They were the best, and I really miss them both, although admittedly, more Morgana. I just want her sassiness and her confidence back in my life. it always rubbed off on me, you know? They were some of the only people that I was confident enough with to be my gender fluid self, and I really miss that. You know, I could go on for a long time about these two, but I will leave it there. 

(4/1/17) As you may know, I am kin with two of my original characters. One is Kai, who I talk to much about, and the other is Road, who I never talk about. Well, today, let’s talk about him. Road is a Warlock, the last surviving one out of 9. He, and his family, were born from an Angel and a Demon to help recreate the world after the Holy War. They each gave gifts and things to the world, and basically made it what it was. The Warlocks were originally immortal, but then a bad situation with me and an Angel caused the rest of my family to be made mortal for helping me out of said bad situation. I don’t want to talk about that yet. All you need to know is that I blame myself for my family’s death, and I really have never gotten over it. That being said, let me tell you about the other eight Warlocks!! 

Li was the Life Warlock, and she made all humanoid life on Earth. She was so motherly, but really bad at it, you know? Like, she’d always wind up burning every dinner and breaking things. She was a sweetheart, but a bit of a mess. She based the original people, Humans, off of the Angels and Demons, but when the Humans killed themselves out in a war very similar to the Holy War, she based the next round of people off of the Human’s myths and legends. Jeki was the Animal Warlock, and they made all the animals, obviously. I remember being with them in the early days, when they were present for each new animal’s birth. I gave medicine, so I was the best at checking on the newborns. Jeki always had so much love in their eyes, it was amazing. Moshi was called the Gardener, and he recreated all plants. He was so creative and excited and loved to paint the earth in beautiful flowers. He was bad with people though. He never understood why they had to talk. 

Aro was the Love Warlock, and he gave emotions and stuff to the New Beings. He got along really well with Ko because they loved to share stories of love and heartbreak. Hati was the Faith Warlock, and she gave religion, mystery, and faith, but most importantly, she gave magic. She really regretted giving religion to the Humans because of how much they fought over it. She thought that it would give them a moral compass, but they twisted it and destroyed it. The New Beings in the book don’t have religion because she took it from them.

Muri the Light Warlock and his twin, Nuni the Dark Warlock looked nothing alike. Muri was a giant with black skin (not our black. I mean real black), and Nuni was a little tiny thing with light skin. Muri was the one who cleared the sky of all the ash from both the Holy and Great Wars, and he put it in his skin which was why it was black. He also fixed the weather and gave safety. Giving safety to the New Beings killed him. Nuni gave risk and adventure to the New Beings, because she wanted them to have fun in life. She also gave mechanics, but only because we made her. She was the first to die when i was saved. She was a really good fighter, and fought with the Angel. He killed her directly

And finally, Ko, the Beauty Warlock. He gave stories, and beauty, and art and expression to the New Beings. He physically gave them his voice so that they could express themselves, so he only spoke a special sign language that only I understood. (the others tried, they did, but they just couldn’t get it, mainly because it wasn’t standardized. It literally changed on his mood). I was closest with him, and I mean really close. He was beautiful and I cared a lot about him, and when he died, I was devastated and sent into the downward spiral that I was in until Morgana and Neo managed to pull me out. 

(1/7/17) Today I wanted to talk about my appearances in various lives. I’m going to try and keep this as short as possible, but it might get a tad long, so sorry in advance!

As a mermaid, I had a light teal tail that was extremely flexible, and that’s all I can remember!! 

As a fairy, I had my wings, big and powerful and brown, gold, and white. As for shape of them, think angel wings. (man was I confused at first! I thought I was an angel, but that didn’t fit at all!) I always went barefoot, wore peasant style blouses and skirts, and I had brown hair that was either long and wavy, or short with a long braid at the very front. Again, hair is difficult for me to remember. 

As a star, I remember myself as glowing yellow, curled up with long hair spread around me.

As a ghost, I can’t remember a single thing about my appearance. I was male and around 17 at time of death, and that’s all I’ve got. 

Kai was difficult even when writing Loose Screws to find the appearance. I know I had light hair, dark ish skin, and gold eyes with a slit. No one else in Macalor, even the dragons, had my colorings. The Maeme did, but no one knew they existed, not even me until Nia came (in the second book). I was technically Maemen so my colorings make sense of course. I was tall I think, and I had a lot of scars. As a dragon, I was massive and black as night with scales that glowed purple when I spit fire. 

As Road, I had white hair that was sort of curly, sort of wavy, and dark gear shaped irises. I sometimes wore glasses, but mostly to distract from my eyes. I was tall, and had a bunch of scars on my upper arms and back from a situation I still can barely talk about. My eyes would glow gold when I used a lot of my power. 

No matter how much I’ve tried to deny it, saying that it’s not possible or what have you, I am kin with two characters from two different original novels. As I was writing, I gave their characters enough energy to get their own souls, and those souls found and bonded with mine. And now they are me, and I am them. And I realized just how hard it is to talk to people about these parts of my soul, because no one has, or probably ever will, read the novels they are a part of. So, in this Pen Talks, I’m going to give you guys the background on the stories and characters that I am kin with (NOTE this was originally going to be a two part Pen Talks, but it proved too difficult to summarize and talk about my life as Kai, so I'm afraid That will have to be talked about at a later point).
