My sister is drawing the cover image for the tie in novel, Antin and Nyx’s bluesky prompt story:)

Let’s see how it ends up! It’ll be an easy drawing, like I’m not a full author, she’s not a vex artist. But some crayons can work too!

In 1939, Zhe’ra was in Berlin, and mighty sick of how the world was turning…

939, Berlin With all that’s going on, first a war, then a depression, and now a bigger war. It’s like the rapture is her to fulfill a self-fulfilling prophesy from the silly humans in this age. Zhe’ra was furious. Life these days was a chore. Even her lavender scented candles couldn’t keep up her morale. The measure of the leaders of today was «bah!» Some days she just wanted to ascend, to start a new life, or even just portal to another time. But she didn’t remember how she’d done it 400 years ago. She beat a slab of meat into submission and shaped it to a burger, a nice spice mix and some vegetables and that would do for a meal today. She’d make her way out of Germany tomorrow. She’d had it. Maybe back to somewhere in America next. #VSS365 measure #Whistpr lavender #VSSMagic chore #Emoetry rapture #WIPSnips burger #BlueSkyRelay ascendant #WeirdMicro self-fulfilling prophesy

The poem above written in a 90’s style graphic
From the primordial light The realms emanated From the depth of the chthonic realm Through layers liminal To reach catharsis- live as you are Till your soul feels the numinous truth And at last is able to ascend Written on a black background with scattered stars, and rays of yellow streaming from the upper left towards the lower right.

1503, London Zhe’ra had been in this age a week. Every night she had nightmares of what happened. The innkeeper had tried to get her to talk to a local priest, but she declined. Didn’t want to tangle herself up in any numinous matters here. Not that she was paranoid. She was just deeply remorseful for what had happened to Nerys. She missed her more than words could convey. This time though, was wonderful! In her time books were handwritten and copied, the printing press had made literature more available! And her hair and suddenly turned curly! She’d always had straight hair but now she sported curls! This age was so different from anything she’d known back in Shara. People were simpler - yet more aware. It was amazing! She could see ways of making a life for herself here already! #VSS365 literature #Whistpr Curly #VSSMagic Tangle #Emoetry Paranoid #WIPSnips Local #BlueSkyRelay Numinous #WeirdMicro Deeply Remorseful

1947 television Taking a sip of her tea, she watched the wonderful picture-box, the RCA 630TS she had purchased last month had finally been delivered. It felt like catharsis to finally get her hand on one. The outrage people had displayed when the device was out of stock in her region, laws broken as people tried to steal the display model. The police had come round after that, with their interrogative tone, trying to figure out what happened. Of course, she could still peer through portals - but those were two-way, so she risked being seen by the observed. This was a one-way setup. She could see news without worry! Staying safe, as people started noticing how she appeared not to age, led her to stay indoors more. The room with the tv was her most treasured now. She was transfixed with modern technology - where would it go next? #VSS365 Law #Whistpr sip #wss366 room #VSSMagic region #Emoetry outraged #WIPSnips picture #BlueSkyRelay catharsis #WeirdMicro interrogative tone

Liminal Through her years, Zhe’ra had watched the once so starry night sky gone dim. To her existential sorrow, humanity’s progress had wrangled nature into submission. She became a little shy for a while, nauseated with humanity after yet worse wars destroying the planet and seeming to be workings of the Dark One. Language kept evolving, the English she had learnt when she arrived here was not the English of today. To her, it seemed most of life was liminal. Neither here nor there, just a series of fleeting moments. Even her, filled with the one power of the Light, was changing. At around 900 years she now looked like a woman in her 50’s. Neither young nor old. She decided to fake ageing for a while. Settling in a small town in the Midwest. She’d be content here. For a while at least. #VSS365 Language #Whistpr Starry #wss366 Shy #VSSMagic Wrangle #Emoetry Nauseated #WIPSnips Little #BlueSkyRelay Liminal #WeirdMicro Existential Sorrow

Zahra is out today. The hole first week she stayed in the cold side hide. The past hour she had circled the whole enclosure, flicking her tongue. Before she settled on top of the warm hide (it’s too small, I’ve ordered a larger one)

It’s so awesome seeing her out and about!

Al’Edos, 2025 Zhe’ra had been busy studying the revised history. She was fascinated by the Dark realm, it seemed like one of the chthonic realm out of myth. With the boundary erosion between there and here, the strange creatures Antin and Nyx once fought had begun to appear. Throughout her long tenure she had witnessed both ancient and recent history, she was still amazed at how this city used the Light to automate most city functions. The movement of the Light was seamless. It was simply marvellous! But the incursions of Darkness were growing more frequent. People had started noticing the chthonic creatures moving about. It was long overdo for them to prepare a plan to deal with the threat . #VSS365 History #Whistpr Long #VSSDaily #VSSMagic Automate #Emoetry Marvellous #WIPSnips Movement #BlueSkyRelay Chthonic #WeirdMicro Boundary Erosion

France 1944 The Dark One works its emanations in strange ways. Zhe’ra surveyed the lifeless remains after the Allied forces had swept through the area. Their character was supposed to be that of the Light, but both sides had connected with the forces of Darkness while thinking they walk in the Light. To her, this felt like the penultimate test of Humanity; a test we were failing over and over. The manifest jealousy of humanity was boundless. She came upon a map, floating in the wind, displaying the geography of the region. She felt the winds and chose her path onward. Someone had to witness the destruction. Maybe she could write an account someday… #VSS365 Geography #Whistpr character #VSSDaily #VSSMagic Connect #Emoetry Lifeless #WIPSnips Penultimate #BlueSkyRelay Emanation #WeirdMicro Manifest Jealousy

Ireland, 1658 Coming down the trail, Zhe’ra came upon a celebration in a clearing. Children danced around a bonfire, jolliness clearly visible. She stopped and asked a woman what was up. «It’s the feast of children,» she answered, «Every spring we let the children dance and celebrate the turning of the season.» This reminded her of similar celebrations in her youth. Maybe it’s been this way since the primordial days of humanity! She recalled how finding her first mate at such an occasion. Fond memories floating to the surface. A man stepped amongst the children, to wows and screams from the adults. She guessed he had to be like what passes for famous here. She stayed a while before moving on, these days she was always moving. #VSS365 Famous #Whistpr Mate #VSSDaily #VSSMagic Answer #Emoetry Jolliness #WIPSnips Trail #BlueSkyRelay Primordial #WeirdMicro Feast of Children

Paris, 1871 Her train came to a screeching stop amongst the ruins of Paris. The steel of the industrial gothic was visible among the destruction. Shouts and screams was audible under the crimson sky. Her boots sounded like slurp slurp as she walked, her soul feeling tense until well after the shouting stopped. Zhe’ra surveyed the city. It had been over a century since last she was here. So much had changed. And now, a revolution. Bah, these children were perhaps a bit… idealistic. They would eventually get there. All they’d need was a better education system and a few more inventions. All of a sudden she caught a whir and something flapping in the corner of her eye. What was that? She thought. Strange. She’d heard of fairies and other folk in ancient legends. Though never seen them or known any who had. #VSS365 Education #Whistpr Whir #VSSDaily #VSSMagic Slurp #Emoetry idealistic #WIPSnips Steel #BlueSkyRelay After the Shouting Stops #WeirdMicro Industrial Gothic

1504 Struggling with her past still, her internal burden was great after all. While it was nice here in London, she had found room and board in a nice house. She was working towards acquiring her own home, and had already set her sights at a lovely cottage where she could slow down and have a domestic life for herself. Heading out of the village it was almost like the ground exhaled. The village was more like a city now. It was crowded and filthy. Her future cottage was still deep in the woods to the south of the village. She’d be happy there. She only needed to save up a little more… …and wait for the old man to die… #VSS365 domestic #Whistpr Ancient #VSSDaily #VSSMagic Board #Emoetry Harassed #WIPSnips Nice #BlueSkyRelay the ground exhaled #WeirdMicro Internal Burden

1843, Mexico Day of the Dead — día de Muertos —that’s what the locals called it. Conditions had improved so much the past three hundred years, Zhe’ra was baffled. Oh, there were still dust and cobwebs in most corners. On the positive note, she hadn’t been groped in ages. Hearing some chatter from the left, she turned to face a cemetery. People were setting up altars and decorating the tombs with depictions of strange creatures. Ofrendas - that’s what the locals called the custom. Through the hollow hour they worked, holding vigil over their lost ones. Feeling emotional, she groped around in her bag until she found a tissue. In moments like this she still thought about Nerys. Her lost love from so long ago. She left the site in silence, not letting them see her tears. #VSS365 Creature #Whistpr Chatter #VSSDaily #VSSMagic Condition #Emoetry Groped #WIPSnips Cobweb #BlueSkyRelay through the hollow hour #WeirdMicro Day of the Dead

A Halloween afterthought It had been a few months since she came to Al’Edos. In this new #turning of the wheel, wonder was once again possible. For so many centuries, her thoughts had been so bad — they fed the dark. Now her #instinct had returned. It was #Halloween and the Edroth had taken to the holiday with glee. Her newfound Aludim was so enthralled she couldn’t help but laugh! There were no #monsters here, no #ghosts or such. She had heard of creatures of Darkness, but she hoped they would stay there. Zhe’ra sat there on the flight-#deck of the parliament, the ocean was visible for miles and miles. And the Edroth and other people here were a hoot! Yes, she had finally found her home.

Halloween? Zhe’ra rounded the edge and stepped into a beautiful square. She might end up having an #unholy #fetish about this city. Whoever came up with this city, this #invention, was genius! She heard the bussing in her head again. And behind her she heard powerful beats pushing air towards her. A #monster!No, this must be an Edroth! Her first #instinct was to «hit the #deck» but she remained strong! She wasn’t afraid of monster or #ghost — though, maybe, a little #edgy. For a brief moment she wondered wether any #haloween myths were true. Though, as she turned. She saw the most magnificent creature she’d ever seen. Breathtakingly so.

Something is changing Coming back from that #memory, Zhe’ra continued, as under a #spell, ever so slowly, around the big circular building. Somewhere around her she could hear a #herd of something. Possibly not a herd at all —a flock, maybe — having a #nocturnal #feast. She caught only fragments of sound, but it was brutal. Maybe these Edroth ate like that? And what was up with the #purple eyed creatures? Were they related. Anyhow, she didn’t know what to feel now, #defeated? Hopefully? Who knew, life wasn’t a box of #cherries. She felt, though, a small #ray of hope emerging… Mind, her mind felt fuzzy — like she couldn’t even hear her voice in the static.
