Moonshadow Elf - Tumblr Posts
Sum Dragon Prince ocs! featuring a self insert and the nonexistence of a consistent art style and a lack of any anatomy whatsoever. welcome to hell.
Kayetlind is a moonshadow elf gorl! She comes from a family of moon mages but she can’t seem to pick up the moon arcanum’s magic. Which frankly is a relief because one of her best friends makes weaponry. She’s trying to keep it from her parents tho, because yeah.
Eliahu (Eli) is also moonshadow, and Kayetlind’s childhood bestie! He likes baking (but is terrible at it) and has a passion for hitting metal very hard until he gets a sword out of it. He’s not as violent but he’s a little bit feral. As you may have noticed, he blep.
Isadora is a Startouch elf with a passion for explosions. Of course, she can be graceful and serene and mysterious and whatnot. She just doesn’t particularly want to. Only one of her eyes is blacked out like Aaravos’ who may or may not be her father idk yet get off my dick because ima slut for heterochromia. She also likes acrobatics.
Sorry, Runaan fans

TDP One-Shot: Of Jackets and Cold Nights
1,073 words, Rayllum, Romance, Funny, Slice of Life, Book Three Spoilers
It was over. The battle was won, there was peace between Xadia and the human kingdoms, and as far as anyone knew, Viren was defeated. When they stopped to sleep en route back to Katolis, Callum had every reason to rest well.
Just one problem: He was cold.
—
Callum awoke to find himself lying down on soft Xadian grass. He opened his eyes, looking up to the full moon that hung high in the night sky. It was still night, maybe 2 or 3 in the morning, he guessed. The dying embers of the nearby campfire illuminated some of his surroundings, but not quite as much as the moon.
Through the light of the moon, Callum could make out the sleeping figure of Ezran, new king of Katolis and his little half-brother. Bait, Ezran’s pet glow toad, was curled up at Ezran’s feet. Callum smiled at seeing his brother sleep so peacefully. As he looked around, he also noticed the rest of his group asleep, including his aunt Amaya, Gren, Opeli, and Corvus. Soren was gone, having taken the night watch.
Nearest to Callum was his girlfriend, Rayla. She was asleep on her side, and Callum could see her silver hair reflect the light of the moon. As Callum looked at her, he couldn’t help but feel a great warmth inside. Callum and Rayla had gone through so much together over the past month since they first met, but they had stuck by each other through it all. He was so glad to know her.
Reassured knowing that everything was safe and sound, Callum rested his head back on the grass and closed his eyes, falling back asleep.
Or at least he tried to.
Something felt off. He sat back up. “Hmmm?” he murmured quietly. What was it that felt so… wrong?
Callum had every reason to rest well that night. It was over. Not only was the battle won, but there was finally peace between Xadia and the human kingdoms, after years of constant warring between them. As far as everyone knew, Viren was gone. Callum had slept outside before, and he was exhausted from the battle, too, so it wasn’t that he didn’t want to sleep.
So why couldn’t he?
A brisk, gentle breeze blew through the air, rattling the leaves of the nearby trees and causing Callum to shiver. He clutched at his own arms, and it was at this moment that he realized what was bothering him so much: He was cold.
The one thing that made this night different from others was the fact that he was without his usual blue jacket, which had been lost in the battle from the day before. That made all the difference on a cold spring night like this one, where all he had on for warmth was his red tank top and scarf. Having not thought to ask for a blanket before everyone fell asleep, he was now facing a dilemma.
Maybe if I…? The young mage took off his scarf and tried wrapping it around himself. Unfortunately, it was not big enough and didn’t do much against the chill of the night.
“No, that’s not it…” He looked at the fire, which had all but died out. “Ugh!” He really, really regretted not learning a tad of Sun Magic.
“Callum?”
He let out a soft yelp at the sound of another voice. Turning to his side, he saw that Rayla was now sitting up, rubbing her eyes. Her ears were drooping down from grogginess. “What’s going on?”
“Oh. Hey, Rayla.” Callum kept his voice down, so not to wake the others. He rubbed the back of his head. “Sorry I woke you. I’m just… um… a little cold.” As if on cue, another breeze blew through the area and he had another round of shivers, his teeth chattering with the cold.
As tired as she was, Rayla couldn’t help but find the display amusing. “So wait… you’re this amazin’ human mage who can cast lightning spells an’ grow wings, and you helped take down an entire army, but you’re vexed by a littl’ cold?” she asked with a smirk.
“Hey, it’s pretty chilly out here, you know,” he protested, covering his bare arms.
“Well, why don’t you put on your jacket?” Rayla then wondered. “Hey, where is your jacket, anyway? I ’aven’t seen it since the battle.”
“Oh, right, you didn’t see that. Well, remember that time when you were falling and I grew wings? Yeahhhh, it kind of shredded my jacket to pieces.”
“Oh.”
“Yep. No more jacket, which means chilly Callum. ‘Chillum,’ if you will.”
Rayla’s gaze followed Callum’s arms. Her ears perked up as she allowed a small smile. “I think the sleeveless look suits you, myself. You look good.”
Callum’s blush was barely visible in the moonlight. “Okay, compliment well-received, but looking good isn’t really going to help me out here. What do I do?”
Rayla scooted closer to him. “Well, I’d offer you my vest, but something tells me it won’t be a lot of help.”
“Yeah, no, unless you have something with sleeves. And aren’t you cold?”
“Eh, you get used to Xadia’s chilly nights.” Rayla then decided it might be fun to tease Callum for a bit. “Maybe you should’ve taken off your jacket before you jumped for me.”
“Well, it was either saving you or the jacket, so…”
Rayla raised an eyebrow. “I see. You’re starting to think you made the wrong choice, eh?”
Callum’s eyes grew wide and he held out his hands. “No! No, no, don’t get the wrong idea, I—”
“Relax, Callum! I’m jokin’!” Rayla punched his arm lightly. “Here, ya dumb human.”
She grabbed Callum and pulled him into a hug. Needless to say, he was surprised by the gesture. “Rayla…? What are you doing?”
“We’ll share our body heat, keep each other warmer this way.”
“Huh…” Callum laid down with Rayla, wrapping his own arms around her. He immediately felt himself warming up. “You’re right, this feels… nice.”
Rayla smiled. “I told ya it would.” She cuddled closer to him.
Callum looked into her eyes, smiling himself. “Thank you.”
“Oh, it’s nothin’—”
“No, not just this. I mean, thank you for always being here for me, for sharing in my struggles, my laughter, being my friend, my girlfriend… and now… this.”
Rayla giggled. “You’re welcome, Callum. And hey, when we get back to Katolis, maybe I’ll buy you a new jacket or something.”
They laughed, then moved their faces closer to each other and shared a kiss for a few seconds.
“I love you.”
“I love you too.”
They kissed each other once more before drifting off to sleep together, warm in each others arms.

So I watched Book Three of The Dragon Prince when it dropped on Friday, and I have feelings. I’ll be posting my full thoughts on the season soon, but I was mainly impressed with the character development on the parts of Soren, Rayla, and Callum (especially with the latter two becoming a thing). Feeling inspired, I decided to write this fic as sort of a sequel to the events of Book Three. Hope you all like it!
AO3
“Wow...”
For the one-month anniversary of Book Three of The Dragon Prince (yes, I know I’m late), I decided to draw this iconic scene in my style!
The relationship between Rayla and Callum was so well-handled, probably the best I’ve ever seen a romance developed in any animated series. I’m so glad they didn’t stretch it out for way too long like most shows do. This scene in particular still gets me. Can’t wait to see where they go with it in future seasons!

Whumptober Day 3: "Make it Stop."
Fandom: The Dragon Prince
Summary: Runaan is sent to deal with an Earthblood Cartel.
Warning: Character Death
Runaan moved swiftly around the tree line of the forest. He was near an Earthblood elf camp. He was there to kill the ring leader of a shroom cartel. The gang has been nothing but trouble, killing the people who displeased them.
So Runaan was there to shut it all down. Unknown to him, he has a visitor. As he approached the camp, he pulled his bow over his shoulder and scouted the area.
Then he turned around. It startled him, seeing Rayla. She had followed him. How the assassin didn't notice, he didn't know. Maybe he just taught her well?
"Rayla" Runaan whispered harshly.
"I came to help."
"I'll be fine."
"Why can't I help?"
"You don't know what you're doing! You're too young."
"I'm 12! I'm sure it's fine."
"Stay here."
"Fine." Rayla sat at the base of a nearby tree. She crossed her arms and sighed.
Runaan sighed. "Stubborn child" he whispered. "Stay out of trouble."
"I will."
Runaan looked back then started towards the cartel. He was nervous but not for himself. Rayla was young and now she was alone. Too many thoughts crossed his mind. But for now, he would just have to focus on his mission.
He reached the edge of the village and snuck in using the moon's shadow. It took longer than he expected to find the cartel but that should only be a minor setback.
Sneaking into the building Runaan hid near some stairs. Pulling his bow apart, he nabbed the first elf quickly and slit their throat. Blood fell to the ground as Rannan placed the stranger behind the stairs.
As he made his way further into the building he carefully killed the members he had been instructed to and left the others knowing that they would rather be too scared or wanted out to begin with.
Then came the last few rooms. There was screaming from the last room. It has only just come into earshot. The victim sounded young.
It startled Runaan. He walked past the few other rooms he had left and stood outside the door. Inside a deep booming voice spoke, "tell me where they are!"
A small voice answered. "I don't know!" A little girl. Runaan almost broke the door. Children were his weakness.
The girl was around 12, and looked just like Rayla. Her hair was a little bit shorter, her eyes a bit lighter, and her skin a bit darker. She had multiple wounds all over her body.
Runaan knew the girl. Not by name but he had seen her around the village. He pulled his knife as the leader of the cartel pulled the girl up by her hair.
The assassin saw red. As he got ready to attack a man grabbed him from behind. One of the most important rules of being an assassin crossed Runaan's mind, never get distracted.
The leader grabbed something from a table, "you little bitch! You brought this fucker here!" The shine of a blade could be seen as Runaan fought the bastard that held him.
The knife slid into the child's side. Runaan finally got the man off of him and grabbed his knife that had fallen to the ground. He ran it though the leader's chest making the rest of the drug deals stop with fear.
Runaan swiftly executed the rest of the Earthblood elves that surrounded him and the girl. He neglected his own body, doing anything to keep the child safe.
The remainder of the cartel members fled once they decide that they cared more about their lives than their dead boss.
Runaan moved to take care of the girl. She lay, bleeding out on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. "It hurts!" Her voice cracked in a way that made the assassin's blood run cold.
"I know." He tried to sooth her.
"Make it stop! Please, make it stop!"
"I" Ranaan paused. "it's okay."
"Make it stop!"
"It's okay." He couldn't stop the pain. As badly as he wanted to there was nothing he could do to help her but hold the wound and pray he could get to a doctor in time.
He wanted nothing more then to switch places with her. If he could take the pain, taking it from her and feel it all for her he would.
It didn't take long for the screaming to turn to turn to just heavy breathing. Then nothing at all. It stopped. Her pain, her screaming, her heart, it all just stopped.
Runaan picked her up gently and stumbled to his feet. Her pain may have stopped but his didn't. He didn't think it ever would. He walked out of the building and back into the woods. There he met Rayla who had fallen asleep against the tree.
He sat the girl's body down out of view and kneeled to wake Rayla up. He shook her lightly and she began to stir.
"Oh you're back" she spoke.
Runaan didn't say anything instead he just grabbed her into a tight hug. It was the only time Rayla would ever see the man cry. He held her for a while before letting her go. "Let's, go home."

This is Vitreus' true appearance, the earring you see is a magic item left by his father, it creates an illusion making Vitri look like a normal human.
My #thedragonprinceoc Vitreus and his parents,Naxos a startouch elf and Elene a simple nurse. As you can see he's proud to be born because in a world of war and hate between humans and elves he is the result of something even more powerful than hate: Love.
