Being A Part Of The Wings Of Fire Fandom Was Wild. I Started Reading The Books When I Was In Fourth Grade

Being a part of the Wings Of Fire fandom was wild. I started reading the books when I was in fourth grade and my small gang of nerdy friends and I built a society around them.

We designated different parts of the playground/recess area to different kingdoms, and assigned different people different characters. I can still remember everyone's dragon counterpart to this day.

The best part was that we were like 11 and the laws we established were sacrosanct (except for territorial disputes). My little 11 year old ass was adamant about the integrity of our council meetings.

I also have memories of drama going on with Turtle's character? He kept going to different kingdoms (bro was bouncing between the rain garden and slide) and being such a nuisance that different tribes started to declare war on him. Then Turtle got upset because he felt ganged up on and Deathbringer had a heart to heart with him on the concrete stairs.

We talk a lot about warrior cats roleplay and the sheer chaos of it on this site, but we don't talk about the other books that were blessed with playground debauchery.

Snippet for the early and rough boards for a Little Wolf animatic! (Catified)

Okay these are very very rough! And do not accuraterly display the designs! There’s a lot of things I plan on changing in the final animatic! I plan on animating this bit all the way to the end! (If you’re confused the cat at the end is Antinous! I don’t think I made him confused enough)

the original boards! (THE LAST PAGE IS A WIP)

BY INSERTING ODYSSEUS’S MENTAL BREAKDOWN AND HIS SUICIDAL THOUGHTS JAY HAS ACTUALLY MADE LOVE IN PARADISE SO MUCH MORE ANGSTY OMG???

The dissociation—Odysseus was in no shape to carry on. Jay didn’t even need to bring up anything abt s.a. that happened on the island—just a simple comparison between the behaviors of Odysseus when he arrived and that of Odysseus seven years later: just look what happened on this island that caused him to breakdown so thoroughly. This is so perfectly done.

My gender is a little bit more intense than I thought I could have done

@mirukosbitchywife @get-junpeid

okay I'm back from my wifi less trip to the country so have some Polites wolf AU( I have not actually written that it is Polites yet it's mostly from Telemachus POV so far.)

Telemachus races through the trees, lively laughter filling the air. He breathes in the crisp and earthy scent of the forest around him. He pauses to lean against a tree and catch his breath with a bright grin on his face. The boy sits down and takes a moment to soak in the soothing sounds of the forest, the birds are singing , the leaves rustle with the gentle breeze and is that… whimpering?

Telemachus stands up trying to follow the sound and comes across a big wolf and three smaller ones. He notices only one of the small ones was alive the rest having died from who knows what. Telemachus cautiously walks up to the small wolf and pauses when the little wolf notices him.

The wolf stops whining and seems to perk up before limping over to him. Telemachus kneels down and the wolf nuzzles against his hand letting out little happy yips. He smiles before checking the wolf over, finding its leg is bleeding.

He takes out the little kit his mom always insists he carries every time he goes out and uses the bandages to carefully wrap the wolf's leg. He then gently picks up the wolf cub and starts heading home.

"Don't worry little wolf I will make sure you are safe. You're so small… I think I'm going to name you Pavlos!"

It took a bit of effort but Telemachus finally manages to convince his mom to let him keep the wolf cub. Despite still not being fully healed Pavlos tries his best to follow him everywhere. Eventually he gives up and starts carrying Pavlos around at least until the wound is healed. He makes sure to feed him well and is often found playing together.

It is around this point that suitors started arriving to marry his mom. They are loud and rude to everyone around them, making Telemachus feel sick at the thought of them marrying his mom. They often touch his mom in ways he doesn't understand but knows she hates.

He tries his best to stay out of their way not wanting to cause any issues for his mother but also because he is scared they would hurt Pavlos. The suitors love to boast about their great hunting expeditions and the thought of them hunting down Pavlos terrifies him. Besides Mom says dad will be home soon and then they will have to leave.

A couple months after the first suitor arrives Telemachus notices that for the first time the wolf cub isn't following him and he frantically searches the palace before hearing a pain filled yelp echo through the marble halls.

He runs to find Pavlos being kicked around by Antinious,one of the first suitors to come and ask for his mother's hand. He rushes over and cradles the unconscious wolf cub carefully before glaring at Antinious.

"Leave Pavlos alone you jerk!" He is sent to the floor, staring up at Antinious holding his stinging cheek with teary eyes.

"You think you can tell me what to do? You are a weakling just like this little wolf cub. You are nothing compared to me. I am here to marry your mother, to make her mine understand? You mean nothing to me." Telemachus grits his teeth and glares again.

"Dad is going to come back soon and then you will regret coming here!" Antinious laughs darkly sending shivers up the boys spine. Antinious shows him a predatory grin.

"So naive has nobody told you yet? Your precious father is dead and he is never going to come back." Telemachus stares confused and hurt before he becomes determined

"You're wrong! Dad will come I know he will! Mom said he would always find a way to come home to us!" Antinious looks on amused

"Believe in that lie of yours if you want but remember this little wolf a weakling like you will never be as legendary as your father." Telemachus watches him walk away and rubs the tears from his eyes. He quickly checks on Pavlos and breaths out a sigh of relief that he is still breathing. He gently holds him to his chest as he rushes to the palace doctor. The doctor checks him over and informs Telemachus that Pavlos would heal with time. He almost collapsed at the good news. Pavlos would be fine.

Telemachus starts to stir as the gentle sunlight caresses his face.He yawns and snuggles closer to the soft fur surrounding him. Pavlos had made it a habit to wrap himself around Telemachus during the night, keeping him safe and warm.

"Morning Pav…. We should probably get up now." Despite his words he makes no move to get up. Pavlos uncurls from the boy making him grumble at the loss of warmth. Pavlos nudges his face with a cold nose and licks him. Telemachus pushes him away with a small giggle.

"Okay, okay I get it I'll get up!" Telemachus pushes himself up and yawns as he gets dressed for the day. He brushed his unruly hair and made sure the dagger his mom had gifted him is at his hip. Absentmindedly he scratches Pavlos behind the ear as they head outside the room.

It's been a year and a half since the attack on Pavlos and he had grown a lot in that time. He is now half the size of Telemachus and still growing. His fur is a beautiful auburn with intelligent honey brown eyes.Everyone has become used to the wolf always following the prince around and is also often seen with the queen. The suitors have learned to leave both Telemachus and Penelope alone after many of them lost fingers over trying to touch them.

Pavlos is only aggressive towards the suitors acting tame and gentle with the various servants and maids. Many times they get together to brush his fur as they gossip about the goings on in the palace. The entire palace staff has adopted the wolf into their family and in turn Pavlos protects them from the many suitors.

Soon though the suitors grow tired of the wolf interfering and gather together to plan. Antinious leads the group and they get to work late at night determined to kill the beast. They don't notice the small boy eavesdropping on them as he sneaks away.

The night the suitors plan on killing Pavlos comes quickly and Telemachus has a plan as well. He is not very confident but it's the best he could come up with. He makes sure he has his dagger, a bag of pebbles, and a special whistle he asked for as a gift that sounds like a howling wolf.

Telemachus tells Pavlos to stay put as he hides in the shadows next to his room waiting for them to show up. When he sees them approaching he brings out his knife and taps it on the floor in a way that sounds like claws on the marble. The suitors freeze and look around for the source as Telemachus discreetly tossed a pebble down the hall and some of the suitors flinch at the sudden noise.

The boy uses his small size to his advantage to sneak through the shadows and hide behind another pillar. Once again he uses the knife to replicate claws on marble and throws another pebble. The suitors became increasingly paranoid over the sounds and the boy smiles.

Telemachus knows he is too young and weak to beat them in a fight but he also knows how cowardly they can be. His best bet is to scare them off. Once the suitors are scared enough he brings the whistle to his mouth and blows into it causing a loud and haunting howl to echo across the halls.

Most of the suitors drop their weapons and run away terrified. He holds in a laugh at their cowardly retreat until something wraps around his neck as he is lifted up. The boy finds himself staring at the rage filled face of Antinious.

"You think that was funny, that you thought me so stupid as to fall for your little trick? Well too bad for you little wolf, your plan failed." Telemachus struggles to breath scratching at the hand clamped around his throat. His vision starts to turn spotty when he feels himself drop, a scream ripping through the air. Through his spotty vision he sees the familiar figure of Pavlos with his teeth biting hard into Antinious' arm.

Antinious uses his other hand to grab his sword and manages to slice at Pavlos side. Pavlos lets his arm go with a yelp and moves in front of Telemachus snarling at the man. Antinious pants as he cradles his injured arm to his chest. He growls at them both.

"This isn't the end. I will get back at you for this." He then stumbles away as Telemachus feels himself fall unconscious the last thing he knows is worried whines and a cold nose nudging his face.

Finally read this :)

Really really enjoyed it!!
