Corrupted King, Resh

Corrupted King, Resh

I have quite a few headcanons when it comes to Alef / Resh, and I will mention them below ( PS: could contain spoilers, so please be aware of that )

like I mentioned in a previous post, I differentiate Alef and Resh as before corruption, and after corruption. So Alef is the uncorrupted Prince which later on becomes King. The corruption is gradual however, and doesn't settle immediately, hence the "semi- corrupted", where I see him as losing his former personality to be replaced by increasing coldness, and ruthlessness. That being said, Alef and Resh become like two different people. the way I see it, is that Alef becomes a very small part of light, lost in the darkness. metaphorically very similar to the lone golden child in the void, before we get reborn. the way I envisioned it is, the darkness seeped into the very core of his surroundings, to such an extent it may as well have been an extension of himself. in that sense, Resh "fused" with the darkness around him, and the mountain of Eden, is /alive/ and actively trying to destroy sky kids, even though Resh is not visible himself. when the Elders set on sealing the King away, because he is too powerful, he might have been as big as a mountain tbh, and the sheer power that was being let out on that day likely shattered the diamond. perhaps, Resh's intention was to overthrow Megabird and become the sole source of Light, hence directing the diamond towards the heavenly Light, but of course.. it turned out for the worst

in a way, perhaps Alef is watching himself becoming unrecognizable, but is unable to do anything at all against the all-consuming darkness, which is himself?

Awakening 🕯️ (5)

Kid followed the Forest Elder's instructions, and went around to discover the world, something which seemed to trouble her quite a bit, especially when she wakes up from a seemingly recurrent dream, leaving her nervous and anxious. She wakes up to find Kid right where she feared he would be: by the gate of Eden. Kid is pulled back, and forbidden from entering the realm, for a reason that Teth doesn't explain. Kid wonders why she is acting as if every star was an eye staring at her. He finds the stars beautiful, and notices that one of them had fallen off. What could that possibly be, and what could it mean for everyone? was it just an ordinary Skykid?

Hello! :D i wanted to ask if it's ok if i make a sticker of Kid, I frikin love your art and stories! ☆(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ* they're so nice! And have a great day or night!

Ohh, that's so nice of you, thank you! Haha, and go ahead for the sticker 🥰

Awakening 🕯️ (11)

After Teth rushed to save Kid, who had been mesmerized by the glow of the red shards, she finds herself in a void of darkness. But she isn't alone — Kid is there as well. But, something about him seems different.

Youth

Adulthood

"A Heart hardened by War,

Crushed under waves of Guilt

and Mountains of Sorrow,

Yet Always so Tender

And so quickly rebuilt,

As its essence is her."

Mini impromptu verse to accompany these, boy do I have things to say about them 😭💔 ( seriously, who allowed me to hold a pen? I broke my own heart)

And closeups because yes

Awakening 🕯️ (6)

Despite being unaware of Teth's nightmare, Kid is still able to observe that something seems to be wrong. The Forest Elder appears to be restless, and is always checking her surroundings. He is unsure as to how to help, but he notices that her mood lifts a little when he talks to her about his adventures. It does sadden him that she doesn't seem to find happiness otherwise. What could possibly make her heart so sorrowful? Kid's thoughts are interrupted by the sudden appearance of a very shiny stranger, who refers to themself as "Moon". Kid immediately equates their person to that of the moon itself. Would he be correct in assuming so? If so, why would the moon suddenly show up in human form?
