Weaver of Lies Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 29 minutes ago, Lunamor said: The Gift shifted into a small replica of a cat. It was a mangy thing, missing one eye and parts of its ears. The tail swooshed, all puffed up. She swore she could hear purring, although that might have been her imagination. ”Johnathan…” It had been forever since Jenny had last seen her beloved cat. He’d died of old age when she was young. She missed him so much. She’d tried to fix him, but… Remember, Jenny. You need to remember. Skeletal hands reached up from the dirt. Dragged her cat away. Her father told her no. Said he was old. Said she was going too far. The little girl cried. The little girl yelled. The little girl was angry. Remember her. A kind woman approached the little girl. She tried to speak. The little girl screamed. Remember. Jenny’s eyes opened wide and began to glisten with tears. “I didn’t- I-“ REMEMBER. Jenny shut her eyes tightly, sending the welled-up tears rolling down her cheeks. Seeing the reaction it provoked, Edgar snatched away the Gift. Idiot idiot idiot, there’s a reason you don’t have friends. “Sorry, I don’t know what it did that.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idiot idiot idiot, there’s a reason you don’t have friends. “Sorry, I don’t know what it did that.” For a moment, Jenny said nothing. Jenny saw nothing. Jenny did nothing. Then Jenny quashed the begging voice. She opened her eyes and smiled widely. “It made a very cute cat!” Her eyes looked almost empty, as glassy as the dead bird’s. The tears still streaked down her face, but she wasn’t crying. Why would she cry? There was nothing sad for Jenny to remember. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She seemed to still have all ten fingers. ”No, I don’t think so. It’s just a cat. It didn’t bite me or anything.” She inspected her hands again. Yep, no bite marks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the gift did understand language. Good thing she had thanked it! Jenny began adding a friend for the bird to her table carving. This one had parts of its ribcage exposed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem like a good animal name, though.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll have to show it to you sometime!” She added a final stroke to her carving, then sheathed her dagger. Jenny’s eyes had mostly returned to normal and her smile was now genuine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny didn’t typically share a lot of interests with people, so this was exciting. ”You’re probably much better at it than I am. What sort of stuff do you like to carve?” She peered at his Gift, wondering if it could turn into carving tools. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not supposed to use the big one in the training grounds, though. I tried launching a dead rat to see how far it could get and it made a bit of a mess.” She smiled sheepishly. ”It made it pretty far.
