Ember growled. "No! I can save him! There has to be a way! I am infallible! I will not be revoked by Silence or any other creature!" She grabbed Tom by the shoulders, the rest of her armor burning away. "How can I bring him back? How!" Her fingers began to smoke, burning Tom. "I mean when you first started working on them. Keys in general. I just... Your ability to create amazes me." Quote Oh yeah! Oops. Tom looked her dead in the eyes, his burns healing as fast as they appeared. "You can’t. He’s gone, Ember. And if we don’t do something quick, we’ll meet the same fate.” “The first?” asked Tom, looking up for a moment. “That was when I was working with the Tombstone Key. The Skeleton Key- that was the first one. I made a few more over the years.”

I can't..." She started hyperventilating. "I can't." She took her shaking fingers off of his shoulders and stared at them in shock, then wrapped her arms around her waist, head hung. Star nodded emphatically. "Are we getting anywhere scrying-wise?" Edited June 19, 2019 by Shard of Thought

That means a lot. I actually started writing TLT from her perspective. I have like 15 pages of it if you'd like. It's fun because trying to make sense of TLT's weirdness is interesting.

Does it mention a certain someone by the name of BoS…? Only twice. I haven't gotten to the good parts yet. I stopped around Queen of Shadows because that's an awkward part; it's from Astral's perspective, not Star's so I basically just copied over the best of the thread. Maybe I should just skip over that section and write the good parts. Anyway, I'll send it to you in a few minutes. When I copy stuff over, it doesn't do italics and those are really important to how the story is told. Plus, I'll be able to get some editing in while I'm at it.
BringerofShadows she/her Posted June 19, 2019 Author Posted June 19, 2019 Sweet! I have to go to bed soon, so I will probably read it tomorrow on my 1 hour bus ride.

However, I think you're perfectly capable of producing the kind of plot you want on TLT. By yourself. You don't need Star and company. Though, the way things are going, I'm pretty sure Ember will join you in the randomness eventually. And she'll hate it.

BringerofShadows she/her Posted June 19, 2019 Author Posted June 19, 2019 Oh. My goodness. I didn’t realize Star was so much like me. And she actually cares about me! (Kind of) YAY!!

(Kind of) YAY!! And she didn't realize it either. However, last night I wondered what would happen to her if they're unable to get Pheonix back. It kept me awake for a good hour until I finally got up and wrote two pages. Let's just say the future is bleak. But I've also played around with what could happen if things go the way they need to and it just makes me giddy. She really does care about Shadow. Just like Butt, she represents a part of her. Keeping people safe makes Star feel less guilty, less worthless and weak. 1

I'm curious as to how you're going to pronounce my name. I've never heard anyone try to pronounce it out loud before.

"Ember was made to be unstoppable and emotionless, I can't imagine..." She looked down, eyes widening. "Hmmm. I wonder what happened." Quote Umm, I'll send you the first part of the Narritive. I got lazy near Queen of Shadows and it's really bad. But the first part is good. And I pronounce Pheonix "Fay-uh-nix." Edited June 19, 2019 by Shard of Thought
BringerofShadows she/her Posted June 19, 2019 Author Posted June 19, 2019 Quote I pronounce Xino like X-zeen-o, and Pheonix like Phoenix.
xinoehp512 he/him Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) Quote I pronounce Xino like it starts with a Z and rhymes with rhino. Pheonix I pronounce fee-o-nix.

"Last time, I could reach into the timeline and pull things out, but we don't need anything here, we need to get back."
