WARNINGS: Grief, forced truths for the Bridge of the Lost prompt



( i. bridge of the lost ) cw: grief, forced truths

[ he had been exploring at his leisure. sometimes, as a dragon, sometimes the way a human would. both experiences were mandatory if he wished to get a grasp of what life was like here. and this quest . . . it seemed strange. stranger than the others. as if half couched in mystery and horror. and rafal has always liked a good horror story, being one himself.

so he waited, skeptical that anything would happen when footsteps alert him of another's presence. he turns to them with a scowl on his face . . . which quickly melts away into astonishment. ]

Nil. No — It cannot be. I saw you die.

( ii. sunwaning — the equinox bakery )

[ the one good thing about all these bakeries is that it made it easy for rafal to find a job. he had thought it would prove to be more difficult, especially since he has never held a "job" before and lived in a castle, but he was never fussed about work and this is the kind of work he enjoys. he spends most of his time at the back, creating elegant confectionaries and designs, idly swatting cats. should you make a special order, he'll see it through and come out to deliver it.

yes, that fancy cake with a layer of chocolate, creme brulee with an oreo base that melts on your tongue is his creation. and he's waiting to see if you like it, tapping his foot impatiently against the floor. ]

Well? Out with it.

[ his people skills could use work though. ]

( iii. hope you have a landing strategy )

[ he could see why such a location was troublesome. a hindrance to those who wished to visit and had no easy way to get back and forth. and while he's not really the generous type, he knows a certain level of kindness is necessary.

necessary for the world to thrive. he's not too concerned if someone is unkind to him personally.

he transforms into his dragon self, fanning his wings as he settles into it. ]

If you require a ride, I will get you there safely. You have my word.

( iv. around ish — wildcard )

[ rafal can be seen around amberfell and nightwake. for the most part, he'll be hitting up every bakery/cafe at least once in a week. in less populated/forested areas, you're welcome to spot him in his dragon form. he is also looking for a potential room mate so that he has adequate living quarters. his inbox can be found here.

if you have any questions/prompts you'd like to do, you can reach me @ timmtams or simply drop a PM. ]

Oryou doesn't need to.

[She can solve most of her problems by eating them.]

[nilhilistic]

Even dragons need power.

[kerontribution]

Oryou doesn't need to cast spells to fight when she can just bite people in half.

[nilhilistic]

You realize I can do that too, right.

[kerontribution]

Then what do you need magic for?

[nilhilistic]

You can never have too much power.

[kerontribution]

That sounds like something someone who isn't good at eating people would say.

[nilhilistic]

I am perfectly good at eating people!

[kerontribution]

Oryou thinks you should prove it.

[bad influence...]

[nilhilistic]

I see no reason why I should. Besides, killing people would get my allies into trouble. I've sworn to avoid that.

[kerontribution]

...If you eat a monster, that's fine, isn't it?

[nilhilistic]

Hm. It should be.

[kerontribution]

Then we can see who can eat the toughest monster.

[nilhilistic]

And what would that even be?

[kerontribution]

Oryou has heard that the wolves in the winter segment are the toughest creatures there.

[nilhilistic]

Fine. We'll try those then.

[kerontribution]

Oryou will look forward to it.

[she's gonna eat so many wolves.]

[nilhilistic]

So will I.

[kerontribution]

-Oh, Oryou doesn't always look like this, so it would be helpful to show what she looks like most of the time.

[She'll shrink down into her humanoid form - although even when she looks like a human, she still floats a few inches off the ground. Corrin's not the only dragon who doesn't like shoes apparently.]

[nilhilistic]

[ huh. rafal shifts back to his human form as well. ]

You can do that by yourself?

[kerontribution]

Yes. Should Oryou not be able to?

[nilhilistic]

No, nothing like that.

How old are you?

[kerontribution]

Oryou lost track a long time ago, while she was alone. At least a few hundred years.

[nilhilistic]

[ so not that old. just a different dragon. ]

I see.

[kerontribution]

How old are you?
