Hello, friends! <3 I previously mentioned that Drako was a trial muse because I wasn’t quite sure about his musings and how he’d fit into my creative flow. After giving it some thought, I’ve decided to move him to my blog over at @infernonetwork to give him a proper home! Maintaining a whole blog for him didn’t feel sustainable since I couldn’t gather enough muse to keep it thriving, but I’m excited to prioritize my time on @infernonetwork instead. My focus will be on plotting meaningful stories and building lasting connections with all of you wonderful people. I feel the foundation I’ve created at Infernonetwork is a much better fit for Drako and where I’d like to see him grow. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope to see you there soon! <3

DRAKOS GAZE LINGERED ON ARABELA, her words weaving through the air like an ancient melody he couldn’t place. Her curiosity was palpable, a quiet intensity that both intrigued and unsettled him. He had heard of her wisdom, her way of cutting through façades, but standing before her now, he found himself resisting the pull to lay himself bare.
“I think,” he began slowly, his voice tinged with something between vulnerability and defiance, “I am lost in the way one becomes when they have wandered too long. Not in direction, but in purpose.” His dark eyes met hers, searching for something he couldn’t name. “Guidance feels like a tether, and yet I sought you out.” A wry smile ghosted his lips, faint and fleeting. “Perhaps I simply wish to know if there’s a way to walk these paths without carrying the weight of them all.”
Arabela has, of course, heard of Drako. She knows who he is, knows what he is. She has never known him to reach out to her, though. It makes her more curious than she’s been in eons. “Lost has many definitions, my dear.” His reluctance is not lost on her. “One can be lost in their thoughts, lost on their journey, lost in themselves or a partner.” She knows many definitions of lost, just as she knows many definitions of found. “How are you lost, Drako?” She tips her head to the side, assessing him with a quiet intensity. “What guidance do you need?”

You would look at things differently if you were in my position.
THE WICKED STING OF BETRAYAL. Drako’s dark hues settled on the figure before him, the one he knew as Aelle—a creature of darkness, ancient beyond the comprehension of most, yet familiar in a way that both grounded and unnerved him. In their presence, he felt the weight of something far older, an untamed force that seemed to eclipse the moment. But tonight, beneath that ageless veneer, a ripple of fury stirred within him, sharp and sudden.
“I shall never look at things differently,” he muttered, his voice laced with the tension of unspoken accusation. He was meant to be Aelle’s ally in all things, bound by something deeper than mere friendship, yet now the sting of perceived betrayal burned at his core.
"You do not have to speak to her," he added, his tone measured but edged with frustration, as if the very act of vocalizing his plea pained him. Drako’s gaze held steady, accusing but yearning, as though searching for a crack in Aelle’s armor that would let them see the turmoil he couldn’t name.
The oath they had shared—the unspoken covenant between them—felt fractured. Drako’s mind reeled with images of Aelle speaking to his mother, the goddess of darkness. The thought was a thorn buried deep beneath his skin, raw and festering.
“We do not need her,” he said with quiet resolve, though his words carried a desperation he couldn’t suppress. “Let us lead a life without her.” His voice softened as he took a half-step closer, his anger mingling with a longing to restore what he feared had been lost. In Aelle, he had sought freedom, an existence unmarred by divine interference.

Will you grant me the next dance?
THE DARK MASQUERADE. Drako turned slowly, his gaze settling upon her with a deliberate intensity that seemed to unravel the very air between them. The warm glow of candlelight carved shadows into the sharp angles of his face, giving him an almost otherworldly allure as the flickering flames danced like phantoms across his features. With a measured bow, he extended his hand, the faintest curve of a smile playing at his lips, its subtlety both an invitation and a challenge.
"Is it you who asks me to dance, my lady?" His voice was smooth, like velvet brushed with steel, rich with a courtly grace but laced with a hint of mischievous allure. She was the color of green, vibrant and alive, like the serpent of legend—an embodiment of dangerous beauty. Drako was utterly captivated by her presence, her nature, and the way she seemed to command the room with quiet power.
He did not shy away as his gaze lingered, unapologetically tracing the lines of her form from head to toe. There was no mistaking his intent as he held out his hand—unadorned by leather, warm skin meeting hers in a charged moment of connection. The brief contact felt like Cupid's arrow finding its mark, a devotion that sparked as he led her toward the dance floor. His chest rose and fell, betraying a breathless shudder he couldn't entirely suppress.
The dark curls framing Drako's face caught the moonlight, their inky strands resembling the palette of night itself. Adjusting his stance with effortless grace, he placed his hand gently yet firmly on her hip, drawing her closer with a motion that spoke of practiced control and raw desire. His gaze locked onto hers, and his lips curled into a smoldering, wicked smile—a promise of something untamed within the dance to come.

Hey, friends! I’m excited to announce that I’ve revived my graphic shop from 2017—GloomGlimmer is back! I've shortened the shop name to threegees because I think gloom glimmer graphics is a mouthful. ( cringes in 2017 ) I've already added some goodies to the server that I’d love to share with you all. Most of my content will be under $5 or even free—because I believe everyone should have access to beautiful designs without breaking the bank.
I hope these graphics inspire you to get crafty with your muses, work-in-progress stories, or any creative projects you’re working on. As of currently i'm almost ready to open commissions.
GIVEAWAY: joining my server draws you for an animation style promotion! something i've loved doing as of recently. you can see examples under the cut!

We might not love each other but perhaps we can be friends?
STRUCK BY CUPIDS BOW. It was not often that Drako, the son of Death, found himself pierced by such a wound—not of blade or battle, but of guilt. A rare ache had rooted itself in his chest, sharp and unyielding. He had failed her. Not as a lover, perhaps, but as a companion bound by the sanctity of trust. And now, as he took her hand—delicate, divine, and infinitely powerful—he held it firmly, though the strength of his grasp belied the tenderness in his intent.
“It is not as though I have not thought of you,” he began, his deep voice reverberating with the cadence of nobility and sorrow, “with all haste and careful consideration.” His dark gaze searched hers, as though the answers to his torment lay hidden within the pools of her celestial light.
“What is not to love?” The words fell softly, almost a whisper, as though they had escaped him before his royal pride could reclaim them. It was an uncharacteristic vulnerability for the Twilight Prince, whose words were often edged with command, not confession. Yet here he stood, his voice laden with sincerity, his shoulders heavy with the weight of his own inadequacy.
“Surely, you must know,” he continued, his tone dipping into something almost reverent, “that the love borne of friendship is no lesser than any other.” A faint smile curved his lips, a fragile thing, barely there yet entirely sincere. For once, the mask of the prince slipped, and the man beneath was laid bare.
He did not deserve her radiance. He did not deserve her kindness. And yet, here she was—before him, unyielding in her grace. “I am no beacon,” he admitted, the softness in his voice giving way to the ache of truth. “Not kind enough, not worthy enough for love to find its place in me.”
Still, his grip did not falter, as though he sought to anchor himself to her light, even if he believed he might dim it with his touch. The smile faded, but his gaze remained steady, unflinching in its honesty. “Yet for you, my dear friend,” he murmured, his voice breaking the silence like a solemn vow, “I would try.”

Not everything is beautiful just because it shines.
WHAT IS BEAUTY IN THE SHADOW OF DEATH? Drako stood motionless, the weight of his lineage pressing against his shoulders like the iron chains of fate. Son of Death, Merchant of the Stars—titles that carved his name into the annals of eternity, yet brought him no solace. In his hand, a single petal, fragile and vibrant, a token of fleeting beauty in a world so consumed by ruin. He held it as though it might shatter under the strength he so often failed to temper, its delicacy a contrast to the sharp edge of his existence.
Her voice reached him like a hymn, a melody threading through the silence with effortless grace. Lady Celebrían—her name alone whispered of realms untouched by mortal despair. She stood before him as if the heavens themselves had woven her into being, her radiance casting shadows across the dark chasm of his soul.
“What is beauty in this damned world?” he murmured, his voice low, the question lingering like an unsung prayer. His gaze lifted, meeting hers with a depth that betrayed the storm within—a man weighed down by centuries, searching for meaning in the fleeting.
But the answer was already before him, shining in her light. Her presence, though celestial, felt grounding, a beacon amid the chaos. His lips quirked ever so slightly, a shadow of a smile that barely touched his brooding countenance.
“For I would trade all the diamonds in the world,” he said, his voice gaining strength, though it wavered with unguarded honesty, “for peace for my people.” The confession left him exposed, raw, a truth spoken not as a prince of twilight but as a man yearning for something beyond the eternal void.
His words carried the weight of the stars he traded, the constellations he had bargained for lifetimes. Celestial matters did not belong on this mortal plane, yet here he stood, speaking freely, as if the weight of the cosmos had lightened in her presence.
Drako’s gaze softened as he looked at her, the petal still cradled in his hand. “You remind me,” he said, his voice quiet but resolute, “that even in the shadow of death, light can find its way through.”

once out of nature I shall never take, my bodily form from any natural thing
but such a form as Grecian goldsmiths make, of hammered gold and gold enamelling
to keep a drowsy Emperor awake; or set upon a golden bough to sing
to lords and ladies of Byzantium, of what is past, or passing, or to come.
#MKOSHI highly selective && independent multimuse blog with a heavy focus on female ocs && dynamics. 18+ written by v.

Flaxen head is slow and silent to rise from behind Drako's shoulder, amber eyes peering — with obvious curiosity — at the heavy tome the other was minding so carefully. A journal? Or maybe an ancient book? Honeyed gaze wanders from the book to the other's profile, quizzical.
❛ What is this? ❛ The soft chime of her voice disrupts the formerly peaceful silence, cherubic face mere inches from the other's — eyes ceaseless, watching. ❛ Is it any good? ❛
WHAT IS A HOLY WAR TO THE UNHOLY? The weight of The Book of the Stars pressed against Drako’s palms like a leaden reminder of all that had been lost. The tome’s leather binding was worn and cracked, its gilded edges faded with the touch of time. Its pages whispered of a forgotten era, of Nevia’s luminous legacy and the celestial truths the gods sought to bury. It was no simple artifact—it was a relic, a secret too valuable to fall into careless hands. And now, it was his burden.
He’d barely noticed the soft rustle of movement behind him, absorbed as he was in the archaic text. Yet the presence—a flicker of light in the dark—drew his senses taut. His dark eyes, shadowed by the weight of sleepless nights, shifted to the periphery but did not fully meet hers.
Drako hesitated, his fingers tightening over the book’s edges. For a moment, his gaze slipped past her, drawn to the night sky framed by the fractured glass of the tower’s window. Stars hung heavy in the darkness, their light dim against the endless void—a reflection of his own existence.
“Ah, good evening,” he murmured at last, his voice steeped in restrained elegance. His words carried the weight of unspoken thoughts, his tone a tempered chord, measured and deliberate. At length, his dark eyes found hers, though not without effort.
“This,” he began, holding the ancient tome aloft with a reverence befitting its significance, “is the Book of the Stars, a remnant of an age long extinguished. It bears the final scripture of Holy Nevia.” He spoke the name with quiet devotion, as though it were a prayer in itself.
A faint sigh passed his lips as he loosened his grip, angling the book slightly for her to glimpse its faded wonders. Intricate constellations sprawled across the yellowed pages, etched in a hand both ancient and divine. “The gods, in their folly, sought to erase all trace of it after the Great War. And yet, by some providence—or curse—this singular tome found its way to me.”
His words carried an air of self-deprecating humor, though his expression remained solemn. “A curious twist of fortune, would you not agree? For I have neither the virtue nor the will to wield what lies within.”
A shadow of a smile crossed his lips, faint and fleeting. “Perhaps, when the time is ripe, I shall permit you a glimpse of its secrets. Though, fair warning—truths such as these do not lend themselves lightly to the mortal heart.”
His gaze lingered on her then, searching, questioning, as if daring her to unearth the burden he had not yet confessed.
