Awakening (10)

Awakening 🕯️ (10)

Memories flash through the Forest Elders' mind, clearer than ever before, filling her with rage. She seems to be holding a grudge against someone, who she wishes nothing but harm upon. Just as she states that he may never reach her again, the mountain of Eden erupts, and burning shards surround the Elder. She thinks herself dreaming when she hears Kid calling to her, only to realize that he truly was. He stutters as he attempts to recount the events that had upset him to such an extent, while Teth attempts to keep him from getting distracted by the redness of the sky. He ends up escaping her and rushing towards the shards, hypnotized by their color and their odd appeal. She yells at him not to touch them, but he doesn't seem to be listening. As she actively avoided being in contact with Darkness, she doesn't hesitate to jump in when Kid seems to put himself in danger.

HAPPY BIRTHDAYY

THANK YOU!! 🥰🩷

Moments Before the Shattering

found this sound INCREDIBLY fitting, whether regarding Resh, or the Elders concerned by his words . . . i do imagine that Resh must've known about the Elders' inability to get along, and constant disagreements, especially regarding darkstone. when they come to confront him and stop him from attempting to use the eternal Light Beam to become god, it is already too late, and he doesn't hold back from mocking them about their slow reaction, let alone their stupidity in handling their powers. i believe it is also a point where Resh has come to accept the Darkness within him, as part of his "godly" power, which he, due to his corruption, doesn't really see as something bad. at least, not anymore.

that being said, amazing voice work by @doofguyva on tiktok !!!

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 🕯️ (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.

i really like to believe that Alef / Resh aren't really the same person, even if technically, they are. but Resh is more of the humanoid form of the darkness that has taken over Alef's body, if that makes sense? i imagine there was probably a period during which Alef had a sort of internal battle ( that he obviously lost ) , against the growing darkness inside of him. much like darkness absorbs light, perhaps light was absorbed from Alef, and Darkness has replaced it, in a similar fashion that when Light was drained out of light creatures, they became dark creatures? an empty shell of what they used to be? something of the sort... eitherway, I am fascinated by this concept ( as you can see )
