ASTER - nonbinary - "fox" - 4 months - elysium
Everything is burning.
Paws on their back, and then they're hurtling.
They've never been afraid of the stars.
They've never wondered if they can die.
They Fall from the sky, and the earth welcomes You.
---
You're covered in dirt. It's been a while, you think -- how long has it been? Flowers, leeching at your blood. Carbon, basis of life. Carbon of stars, carbon of life.. You were covered in it, you think.
Why were you?
You don't know who you are. You don't know where you came from. When you struggle to your paws, dirt gives in above you. Your eyes open, and they see the Sun.
The air is warm. It's colder than it should be, you think, but it's warm to you.
What are you missing?
You're covered in dirt, and you need to get it off. Your limbs weigh tons, and they tremble as they brush at your fur. The flowers pull and ache. They hurt. You hurt. You tremble, and your paws pull.
Your mouth opens, but you don't scream. Roots giving, petals falling, you free the flowers from yourself. It hurts. It hurts. Ithurtsithurtsithurts.
You keep pulling.
And, once they're gone, you lift your head. You smell like blood. There's not a lot you can do about that. Your back hurts. You can't crane your head to survey the damage. Something is missing. You don't know what -- what are you missing?
What happened to you?
You're alone. You've always been alone, you think. You're afraid -- have you been afraid before?
You don't know.
Everything hurts.
You need help.
//casually retcons aster to move them here. this is just a copy of their original thread cause i really liked it. i hope the writing style and lore is fine?
no need for your char to worry abt things falling from the sky, it was ages ago. currently, they can be found somewhere in the territory, your pick, in a patch of uprooted asters. which i dont think would grow here but thats fine in context
they're injured -- covered in dirt, and burned over a large part of their body, with wounds from where they pulled out the flowers.
