Nitara is lucky that Ashrah is so honourable and *wants* Nitara to agree to the fight, so she'd never attack even if the perfect opportunity arose (and it does arise!) xD And yeees, glad you noticed that: as the captain of an aerial ship, Nitara is excellent at math :3

I don't know if you're a re-reader, but if you are and ever feel like re-reading TIHID, let me know, and I'll send you a copy. Because I just posted the book to Saphly (a new platform for sapphic stories) and took the chance to... upgrade it a little. So it will be better than the physical edition 😁

... ending in consonants: Pym (rose, as in colour or plant) > Pymira (rosy) / Voɠel (ice) > Voɠelira (icy). To modify adjectives into adverbs, you also have endings based on vowel/consonant: núr for the former—Ƥéaka (happy) > Ƥéakanúr (happily)—and -ura for the latter—Vezyr (brave) > Vezyrura 🧵

... "Nitara is beautiful." Dionic luƥimi vyu = "Dionic is beautiful." To turn a noun into an adjective, we have: - Ɱun [wun] for nouns ending in vowels: naké (wind) > nakéɱun (windy) / Iari (joy) > Iariɱun (joyful). Most nouns end in vowels, so this is the most common ending. - Ira for nouns 🧵

#Conlangity 12. In Kraslan, adjectives come after the nouns they modify and must agree in gender and number. When it's a singular, feminine noun, no change occurs; when it's masculine, it takes an -i or, if it already ends with the letter, an -y: "Nitara luƥim vyu" = 🧵 #ChroniclesOfTheRealms

Once their three-book-long enemies-to-allies-to-friends-to-lovers dance ends, Ashrah and Nitara will finally be a happy relationship... well, kind of, a lot of shit will happen around them, BUT they'll face them as a strong, happy couple 🥰💜🖤 #SayaAshrah #CaptainNitara #Ashtara
A digital illustration of Ashrah and Nitara, from Chronicles of the Realms, by Seph (@goethial.bsky.social‬). It depicts the two characters back to back, holding hands, as they prepare for another fight, Ashrah brandishing Datusha, her sentient, keris-shaped sword, and Nitara summoning her dark magic. One of Nitara's wings stands behind Ashrah, almost like a shield, while the other is behind Nitara herself, in shadows. Nitara is about a head and half taller than Ashrah.

October 12th – pulse #AnthropomorphicNovel, today! Ray deals with the aftermath of a small car accident she was just in. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
I wrenched the door open and stumbled out, then glanced back at the other car. The succubus hadn’t moved. If I left her there, she would burn alive. Perhaps a fitting end for her, but I couldn’t just sit here and let her die.
	I limped across the distance. The flames were gaining in intensity, so I needed to hurry. I tried the door handle, but the crash had warped the frame, and I couldn’t get it open. The window was broken, however, so I knocked out the remaining pebbles of glass with my elbow, then reached in, unbuckled Carla’s seat belt and hauled her out onto the grass. It wasn’t a pleasant experience, my back screamed in protest, but I got her out.
	I dragged Carla up onto the road and over to the other shoulder then checked her pulse; it was strong and steady, but she hadn’t stirred. I bound her feet and hands with plastic ties, just to be safe. 
	Then I leaned back against a tree and watched the flames bubble the paint on my black Mazda. Maybe I could just tell the Geico guy that it had been stolen.

Blake, Ren, & Joy are investigating the disappearance of their relatives, & Blake’s sensed a demonic force on the other side of Uncle Huck’s door #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity From A Paranormal Bromance 2 👻🚪
Black text, green background, “pulse“ highlighted pink

I'm trying to build up my courage to go in there. It can't hurt me because I'm dead. At least that's what I'm trying to tell myself as I stare at the doorway that Blake is freaked out about. If I go in and Huck made a circle of his own, I'll be stuck in the room with whatever the scary thing is. If it's bad mojo, I won't be able to see it, but if it's a monster, I probably be able to see it like the ghosts last year and Joy's fairies and the demon Blake summoned...

Four breaths
Four drops of blood

The words PULSE in my brain like a heartbeat.

"It's..." I say, but the word seems to barely get past my lips as I drift towards the door. "Blake, it's..."

Four flames to call you from beyond and keep you

Blake's trying to convince Joy that we're absolutely not going in, so he doesn't notice when I say his name, so soft, I'm not sure I said it. The air around us is pressing down on me, and I'm having trouble getting words past it.

Open the door and find this body

I shift through the wood of Huck's door.

#fantasy #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WIPSnips #pulse Shalhra comes for Drisal; his horse has not forgotten him. - Brother’s Keeper, my fantasy WIP about two brothers bound by a misunderstood power
Drisal woke. Night still covered him, cold and
unforgiving. Agony danced with nothingness and each kept him fast against the ground in their turn. His eyes closed again, his cheek rested on the earth and he felt a pulse. Faint but familiar, a rhythm beneath him, vibrating his stone-hard bed of frost, knocking gently on his heart. His eyelids fluttered. A
sound came closer, a heartbeat racing in fours, in threes—ever so gently growing louder yet calming, slowing—threes, slower, now twos. Now four again, close, two twice, much closer—now silence.
Drisal lay trembling, listening, afraid to stir a muscle until a
loud, damp puff in his ear blew him over, onto his back. Thick hair dropped and tickled his face. Warm breath and nibbles on his chest and a low, soft
whicker. He lifted his hand.

Brother's Keeper

CW:Gore, Death #WIPSnips Word of the day is pulse, which I don’t have so we’re going ✨vibes✨ From my short story:The Deeper We Go -Conner thinks he sees his girlfriend, and he does… only she is lacking a pulse, her head… and parts of her body #WritingCommunity
Holy shit, Molly, is that you?!” He shouted as he ran to the other side of the cavern, ignoring Ashley and Bec’s protests. Molly sat there as two other figures knelt beside her, and their heads were hidden.
	“M-Molly?” he said quietly, touching her shoulder and gently shaking. Molly’s body fell over limply. Only a few strips of flesh kept her head attached. Chunks were ripped from her body. Conner stepped away, but someone grabbed him. It was one of the kneeling men. The man was bald, his beard was crudely shaven, and he had that same symbol carved into his head. His friends were screaming, but it was drawn out by a new noise.

Nothing too exciting for today, just a short part of the cleansing ceremony. From CultWIP first draft. TW for self-mutilation and blood #WIPSnips #writingcommunity #writesky #writingprompts
Blood trickled from the freshly opened wound on Rowan's pale arm, dripping from his fingers onto the altar where so many others had already spilled their own. He hesitated as he watched the slow, steady pulse of crimson continue to well up and trace its manic path across his skin, the golden blade that he had used to slice still poised and hovering in the air just inches from his arm. The edge was not as sharp as it usually was, requiring much more force now to cut open skin, but it had almost made it through yet another cleansing ceremony. There were still dozens more people behind him in line, practically tripping over themselves with elation at the prospect of atonement.

Someone cleared their throat. “Rowan?” 

High Priest Silas stood before him, his hand outstretched and his ancient face betraying his impatience. On either side of him stood Mother Superior Sera and Warrior Priest Corvin, as well as their chosen acolytes, who held burning candles in their hands and kneeled with their heads bowed in prayer. Behind High Priest Silas, a bronze idol of Rekshimyr stood tall, nearly brushing the ceiling. The low light of the room cast sinister shadows across his sharp, birdlike face.

#WIPSnips 12. “Pulse(s)” Lots of Pulse(s) in the story when that’s the word for the global time measurement of Arak’shiir/Netherrealm. #ChroniclesOfTheRealms #SayaAshrah #CaptainNitara #Ashtara #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters
Now she opened her eyes and squinted at the demon, who was sitting on a block of iron and staring down at her, trying to gauge whether Ashrah was making fun of her. No, the captain decided. She doesn’t have the capacity for humour. “How old are you again?”

“Sixty-one thousand, two hundred and forty-seven Pulses. Why do you ask?”

Nitara choked on a gasp. She remembered then how time passed faster in the Netherrealm, which created the vast difference between its Pulses and the years in other realms. After a quick calculation, she estimated Ashrah would be around twelve thousand and four hundred years in the Vaeternian calendar. Still a tremendous amount, but relatively easier to wrap her head around than sixty-one thousand. “Honestly? Because I must be losing my mind.”

Ashrah nodded, solemn. “That is indeed a consequence of exposure to the Abyss. I propose a pact: I shall allow you to drink my alarun and regenerate your strength, and in exchange, you shall agree to fight me until one of us can no longer stand.”
