I would haul the stones - baptiste - 09-06-2021 you pour the water — — I would haul the stones @Iliana RE: I would haul the stones - Iliana - 09-08-2021 I L I A N A When Baptiste disappeared she did not ever try to follow. To her, her angel sister was something untouchable, something so beautiful and deserving of reverence that sometimes she felt she had no business even being within the reach of her glow. It was not jealousy; she loved her twin in a way that she could never love anyone else, and she wanted nothing more than for her to take this world that was meant to be hers and make it so. She missed her when she was gone, though. She found herself looking up often, searching for that familiar rose-gold accented form, even as she distracted herself with perfecting her panther shifting and her newly acquired light aura. When she finally sees her she can’t even deny the way her chest swells, or stop the smile that breaks across her face. “Baptiste,” she greets her with her own touch against her sister’s shoulder, her rose-gold eyes bright. The cold sun above catches the faint rosettes that continued to deepen in color along her neck and back. Nearing the end of her first year they were far more noticeable than they had been when she was born, and it seemed that the more time she spent in her cat form the stronger they became. “I’m so glad you’re here, I wanted to show you something,” she tells her with a lilt of excitement. Taking a step back and a steadying breath, she slowly raises a thin aura of light around her. It is dim in the sunlight, but easier to see in contrast to her black coat. The light wavers and flickers with her inexperience before she lets it fall away, looking back at her twin with another bright smile. “I asked the entities for it and they really gave it to me. And now I can glow a little too, like you and mom.” -- the shadow is mine, and so is the valley

I was worried you would think I was copying you.” She pauses thoughtfully for a moment, before exhaling a short laugh. “Well, I guess I am copying you. But still, I could never be as brilliant as you, so it’s a poor effort.” She gives the aura another brief flicker as if to prove a point, the golden light highlighting the sharpening angles of her still young face. It is still weak in comparison to her sister’s ethereal glow, and satisfied with her own experiment, she lets the light fade for good. She steps forward to meet her, pressing her nose gently against her dark neck just as she rests against her. “Impossible, because you’re the beautiful one,” she says in a matter of fact way, as if daring Baptiste to try and argue. While Iliana did like to think of herself as beautiful—or at least, the rose-gold rosettes blossoming along her black skin were pretty enough—she knew she paled in comparison to her angelic twin. The young panther girl was lovely in her own way, but Baptiste was heaven sent. “Have you met anyone interesting lately?” she asks her, scanning their mountainous surroundings briefly. Iliana didn’t leave Hyaline all that often, preferring to practice her hunting within the kingdom’s borders, but she was certain that this place was not enough to hold her sister’s interest. “I want to hear all about them. So long as they aren’t someone that would replace me as your best friend.” -- the shadow is mine, and so is the valley @baptiste RE: I would haul the stones - baptiste - 10-17-2021 you pour the water — — I would haul the stones RE: I would haul the stones - Iliana - 11-01-2021 I L I A N A She shakes her head, brushing off her sister’s compliment with a slight roll of her rose-gold eyes, and she sighs and says with a smile. “If you insist, I suppose I won’t argue with you anymore.” She didn’t necessarily believe her, but she also knew Baptiste wasn’t going to weaken her stance on the subject. If she had any idea how her sister thought of herself, though, she would not have been so quick to yield; the idea that Baptiste could not see herself as anything but the radiant and exemplary creature that she is was not something Iliana would have been willing to drop. She thinks that sometimes she sees a shadow cross her sister’s eyes, but it is always so fleeting that she decides she had imagined it. She thinks that sometimes she detects the traces of some kind of sorrow when she laughs, but she doesn’t see how that could be, and she brushes it off. Because her smiles and her laughs are always too genuine, too pure, for there to be anything lurking beneath the surface, and Iliana was just foolish enough to think that being a twin had linked her heart to her sister’s in such a way that surely she would notice if she was unsettled by anything at all. “Turns to stone?” she repeats, her eyes widening a little before she frowns. “I don’t think I could. I like the sun. And not being stone,” she finishes with a small laugh, and then she thinks of Vital, the boy that she had met in Hyaline. “I met someone interesting, too. He can shift into some sort of firebird? I’ve never seen that kind of bird before, so I’m not sure what it’s called, but it’s pretty.” -- the shadow is mine, and so is the valley @baptiste RE: I would haul the stones - baptiste - 11-13-2021 you pour the water — — I would haul the stones @Iliana |
