Comments on The Feast of Flowering II + 2nd Anniversary All Comments

win a ley token!


Ley Tokens are a valuable currency that can only be spent at the mysterious Ley Lodge. Each can be used only once to claim a rare and powerful item from this special shop.

To enter to win a Ley Token your own: 

  1.  Join Anathema! You must be a player with at least one accepted mage. Players old and new can enter!

  2. Show us what you might like to do with a Ley Token! Write or draw something related to the character or event you'd create if you had a Ley Token. Leave your entry as a reply to this very comment!

  3. Use the Gold Guide to determine how much your entry is worth... then double it! Your doubled Gold amount will be added to your bank, just to say thanks for entering!

  4. Wait ever so patiently. At the end of the Anniversary event, we will randomly draw a winner to receive the Token!

Entries must be worth at least 1 gold (i.e. at least 100 words or at least an uncolored headshot). 
Post your entry as a reply to this comment. Every player may only enter once. If you win, you do not necessarily have to use your Ley Token to create what you depict in your entry.

All entries must be created for this contest!  Already-existing content of characters/designs you own is not valid for entry.


And the winner is... OverlyOptimistic!

[ NOTE: This is a resubmission of a previous Ley Token submission, the gold has already been counted! ]

From the shadows, eyes of many horrors peer out once more... cautiously... intently.

Lil ley token entry!! I would be turning Six into a Palladin :)

----

Six didn't like their magic. For a long time, they didn't think they had any. Their stay at Namarast had been to find their father, nothing else, and the magic Agathias had dragged out of them- well. Six rather didn't acknowledge it. 

It was a very practical magic all the same. Azcasu had found a good use for Six, the poison mage, as a bartender. The owner of The Black Jug had a really good mental radar for people with bad intentions, and Six could quietly knock them down. Didn't kill them, Six wasn't sure how to do that.
Six wasn't sure how to do most things with their magic.

It went ignored. Six favored knives, strength, agility. Those were things they could control, and their magic felt like a convenient little skill they had. But they could go through life without it. Didn't need to rely on it.

When the Spire claimed them, there was nothing left.

No strength nor knife could get them out. It'd taken a long, long time before Six broke, and gave in to the Spire. It'd toyed with all of their insecurities, given them an impossible choice of facing all of those fears, before they'd have any hope of being let out.
With days passing, weeks, time unstable.. Was anyone going to miss them? Was anyone coming?

The insecurity would stay. The feeling of being powerless and dependent on others would too. But their magic grew fast after the event.
At first, this scared Six. Where before, everything had been based on luck and chance, they gained a sense of control over their power. They drew moisture from the air, creating water where there had been none, and their magic wasn't poison. It was water. It'd always been water.

That magic kept growing, changing, expanding. It would be the most in control Six had ever felt about anything.

And they needed so much more of it.

Kalais gets a shattered totem. In a burst of emotional overload his body bursts apart with roiling colourful smoke, essentially pushing away a lot of those he cares for and in a way giving himself the freedom he craves.
