Lalianus already felt weaker, and it had been about a day. He needed natural light on his scales, but there wasn't even a sliver of it here. He was so tired, and after having his scale and stardust stolen, he simply had no remaining strength to fight back. He wasn't going to win this fight, no matter what he did. And so instead, Lalianus lay on the floor in defeat, his cheek still raw. Healing a human injury was so easy for him, yet he couldn't fix his skin from hurting. Somehow healin

Oh he is already in that form :0 And yes, they presume that they can use the stardust for healing

Kaya was much more talkative than Azri, it turned out. At the start, Torryn hadn't been happy about that. Between all the worry about Lalianus and rage that someone dared steal him away, he hadn't been in the mood to talk. But Kaya hadn't let up, and eventually Torryn had engaged. And it was a nice distraction from the anxiety crushing his lungs. They were making progress, having crossed the border before the sun was high in the sky, but they were painfully slow to Torryn, anyway. His

Lalianus flinched as the door to his cell opened, curling up more in his corner, shaking at what might happen. He hadn't moved for hours, aside from trying and failing to take off the strap holding his maw closed. It was on too tightly. "Uh. H-hello, divine," came a trembling high-pitched voice. Despite his fear, Lalianus did look up just enough to see a young woman, her head down. He couldn't see any weapons on her, her blue dress relatively simple, though there was still gold th

Torryn paced around, pulling at his hair, losing his mind. He wanted to jump on a horse and ride to Kharea this instant. He had no doubts that was where those people were talking his Lali. But he knew he couldn't. He had to wait for Venn's people to show up. His brother apparently had a sizeable group of special operatives at his disposal, most of which were spies, and he wanted to send a couple to rescue Lalianus. Torryn wasn't surprised at the fact that they existed—he'd had spies as

Lalianus was absolutely terrified, but he refused to show it. He wouldn't cry like he had when those bandits had attacked him and Torryn. He'd stay brave and not show weakness to these thugs. They'd dragged him into a covered wagon and tied him down into it so he couldn't escape, not even move his tail. That was smart on their part because Lalianus was more than ready to smack them with it, but it made escape impossible. He'd been hoping he could overwhelm them at a good time and fly a
-
The more fields they healed of the blight, the more energy Lalianus seemed to have. He jumped around, his tail swishing, shining his starlight around the place before calling to Torryn to jump back on his back and continued flying on. Sometimes he didn't even bother letting Torryn dismount, just bringing him for the healing and flying before properly explaining anything. Venneth had sent out people to tell the farmers not to rip out anymore of the infected crops just to make certain th

It had been two weeks. Nothing had worked so far. Lalianus kept thinking Torry would find the right mix of herbs that would save the crops, and he went around looking for them for him, sometimes with him, sometimes only with a drawing of what he was looking for in his claw. But so far, they'd not been successful in making a difference as far as the star could tell. It made him so very sad. Plants were dying, people might go hungry, and he, a star, was helpless. He was meant to be

It's the perfect time after all lmao

With a heart so heavy, Venneth waited for Yarli's guards to bring the king to him. He was seated in one of the rooms dedicated to negotiations, this being the smallest of the ones they'd used over the years. And used it they had. Venneth sighed sadly as he leaned on the table, gazing at the bench in the far corner of the room he and Yarlimar had used. It was difficult to find a single corner of this castle without thinking of Yarlimar and the things they'd done. Venneth sighed aga

Lalianus watched Torry mixing ingredients into a paste in a bowl, the star's head titled. He had Torryn in his lap, holding him tight from behind, so he could see the whole process closely. He was utterly fascinated that mixing plants and powders together could somehow help other plants, and he didn't understand at all how humanity had figured that out in the first place. Humans were so fascinating. Lalianus sniffed the bowl, wrinkling his nose at the bitter smell. He didn't like

The next morning, Torryn went on horseback with his brother to assess the situation in person. He of course wanted to help his brother, but there was another reason—Torryn knew much more about farmwork than Venneth or his advisors, and the peasants had families to take care of that they couldn't just abandon to travel the kingdom. Torryn looked up, trying to find Lali above them. The star had insisted on coming with them, healing people as he went, catching up with them every once in a whil

Damn you guessed it right off, good job, it takes these idiots a bit 😁 (Lalique is really cute)
-
Torryn wiped his sweaty forehead, taking a break from plowing the field to look out on the whole of it. The sun was close to setting now, hanging above the horizon, casting long shadows. Soon he would be reunited with Lali again. He couldn't wait. It had been two months or so since they'd returned from Gharrim. Two months since Monari had agreed to provide the other country with enough food to make up for this territory. It had only made sense to help with it. Torryn knew how to work t

And perhaps so it will be 👀

Venneth paced around his room, so embarrassed that his brother had found the agreement. He loved his brother, but there were things he never wanted him to know. But he supposed it was too late for that. Now he just prayed that he'd never bring it up again. Venneth rubbed a finger over his collar, looking down at the hearts he'd doodled. He was a love-struck fool, and he couldn't deny it. It was quite pathetic, but thankfully—and crushingly—he didn't get that much time with Yarlimar.

I'm so happy you did! :0

Torryn was on top of the world. He kept up his disguise around the city, not wanting to risk incurring the wrath of the Gharrimi, but he kept holding Lalianus' hand. It made him all fluttery. No one had dared say anything yet. Torryn hoped that would last, though Lali had assured him he would growl at anyone who had a problem with them being together. Them together. Ah, it was so amazing. He'd not dared hope that Lalianus would want to be with him this way, but he clearly did, and he a

Lalianus had been feeling odd since Torry had put on the guard uniform. He found himself constantly staring at his party-exposed chest the whole time they walked around Gharrim's capital. He healed people and enjoyed meeting them, but his attention kept getting drawn back to Torryn in a different way than usual. Finally, after a while, he figured it out, though. He wanted to mate with Torryn. The problem being that from what Lalianus had heard from his siblings, human love-making

Just a lil lmao

They'll come into play...

Venneth followed Yarlimar down the long corridor leading to his throne room, anxious. He could hear his heart pounding in his ears, and his hands were shaking. This would go so very wrong so fast. It had so many times before. "You look tense, my dear king," Yarlimar said, smiling smugly over his shoulder. Venneth scowled at him as they reached the large throne room, utterly empty. He always arranged it so that it would be empty. For privacy, he said, so they were undisturbed while nego

Lalianus had spent most of the trip sleeping with his head in Torryn's lap, so he was shocked when he woke up and saw mountains all around them. "Tall earth," Lalianus gasped, peering out the carriage window curiously. "Tall...." Torryn grinned and nodded as he understood what Lalianus was saying.. "Mountains, you mean? Very tall earth indeed. Gharrim is like that," Torry explained. "We will have to fly the rest of the way." Lalianus stretched, his back cracking. He really liked t
