The Saltwater Mill, Petty:  A Wonder of the Parish

by Marion Ruscoe When I first started looking at the site of the Saltwater Mill at Petty Bay, I was writing a general survey of industry in Petty Parish (2019).  I discovered that there was very little primary evidence for the mill and access to the site was not easy.  In fact, at the time, I couldn’t see how to get down to the site, since the Castle Stuart Golf Course had taken over the area to…

The sun dipped low on the horizon, casting a golden glow over the bustling streets of Auradon. Students of Auradon Prep milled about, excitedly discussing the upcoming events of the day. For most, it was just another day filled with classes, but for you, it was the culmination of everything you had worked for. As the daughter of Raya and Namaari, you had inherited not only the fierce spirit of your parents but also a strong sense of justice that often made you feel like more of a villain kid than an Auradon child. Your childhood friendship with Lonnie had brought you to Auradon, but it was your own desire to carve out your own identity that led you to the Swords and Shields team. The captain, they called you, and you wore that title with pride.

Though the people of Auradon saw you as a hero, you often operated in the gray, doing what you felt was right even when it didn’t align with the rules. You were an antihero in the making, forging your own path. And today, that path would lead you back to the Isle of the Lost. It had been a year since you last saw Harry Hook, Captain Hook’s son, during the chaotic rescue mission to save Ben. The memory of that day replayed in your mind like a vivid dream. The way he had fought you, the thrill of the battle, and the spark of something electric that had ignited between you, something you had dismissed at the time.

As you and Lonnie prepped for the mission, you could still recall the smirk on Harry’s face as he parried your ice sword with his hook, a glint of admiration dancing in his eyes as you expertly maneuvered around him. It was a thrilling encounter, one that had left you breathless and, if you were being honest, kind of intrigued. “Ready for this?” Lonnie asked, snapping you out of your thoughts. She adjusted the straps of her armor, her expression a mixture of excitement and determination. “More than ready” you replied, tightening your grip on the handle of your ice sword. You summoned a small dragon made of shimmering water, which floated beside you, its azure scales sparkling in the light. You had named her Glimmer, and she had been by your side through thick and thin. “Just remember: we’re going in to rescue Ben, not to pick a fight with Harry”. “Easier said than done” Lonnie said with a smirk. “I know you still think about him” You rolled your eyes, brushing aside her comment. “That was one fight, Lonnie. Just because we had some banter doesn’t mean I’m going to swoon over him”. “Sure, keep telling yourself that” she teased.

The journey to the Isle of the Lost was intense. As you stepped off the boat, the familiar scent of saltwater and the sound of waves crashing against the rocks welcomed you. Your heart raced with anticipation and adrenaline. The Isle was chaotic, filled with the remnants of villainy and danger lurking around every corner. You and Lonnie led the charge, making your way through the winding streets of the Isle, dodging the startled glances of the locals. You could feel the tension in the air as you approached the docks, where you knew Ben was being held captive. But before you could reach him, a figure emerged from the shadows. It was Harry, leaning against a wall, his trademark smirk plastered across his face. The way the setting sun highlighted his features made your breath hitch, and for a brief moment, all you could think about was that thrilling duel from last time.

“Look what the tide washed in” he called out, eyes gleaming with mischief. “A princess and her sword-wielding friend. Here for a fight, are we?” “We’re here for Ben” you shot back, holding your ice sword aloft. “You won’t stop us, Hook.” His smirk widened, and he stepped forward, his hook glinting ominously in the fading light. “Is that so? Last time I checked, you were the one who started the fight”. You raised an eyebrow, recalling how the tension had built during your last encounter. “I didn’t start anything. You were the one who couldn’t resist a challenge”. He chuckled, the sound sending shivers down your spine. “And you couldn’t resist rising to it”.

The battle erupted as you clashed with Harry once more. The two of you danced around each other, your movements fluid and precise. You conjured ice, shaping it into sharp blades that shot toward him, but he countered with his hook, slicing through the air with deadly accuracy “You’ve improved” Harry noted, dodging another ice attack. “But are you still just a pretty face?”“Pretty faces can pack a punch, Harry” you shot back, throwing an ice shard that he narrowly avoided. The thrill of battle surged through you as adrenaline fueled your movements. The world around you faded into the background as you lost yourself in the fight, the tension crackling like electricity between you. As you fought, you couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something deeper than rivalry igniting between you, a connection that simmered beneath the surface.

Finally, with one swift movement, you disarmed him, sending his hook flying through the air. He stumbled back, caught off guard, and you took the opportunity to close the distance, ice forming around your hands as you held him at bay. “Yield?” you asked, a grin breaking through the fierce determination on your face. He paused, a genuine grin breaking through his usual bravado. “Aye, ye’ve bested me this time. But I’ll be back”. You lowered your weapon, panting slightly, feeling a rush of exhilaration wash over you. “Next time, maybe we can skip the fighting and talk?”

Harry’s eyes sparkled with mischief. “Aye, I’d like that. But ye know, the only thing I wish for is for a bit of fun”. You chuckled, shaking your head. “You’re incorrigible”. As the mission concluded and you successfully rescued Ben, the lingering tension with Harry stuck with you. You couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something unspoken between you, a bond formed in the chaos of the Isle, a connection that transcended your roles as hero and villain.

Months later, as preparations for the next adventure began, you found yourself standing on the shores of Auradon, Glimmer coiled around your wrist like a protective charm. You had decided to join the VKs in their quest to bring more unity between the Isle and Auradon, to help those who were struggling to find their place. But deep down, you knew you were also doing it for Harry. The thrill of the chase, the tension of your fights, and the uncharted waters of what could be were too tempting to ignore. And as you looked out at the horizon, you felt a rush of anticipation. Because somewhere out there, on the Isle, Harry Hook was waiting for you, ready to stir the tides of fate once more.

it's wednesday again!!!! i woke up weirdly early today lmao, and i've been editing all day.

tagged by the lovely @thequeenofthewinter ! <3

tagging the fantastic @skyrim-forever @umbracirrus @archangelsunited @saltymaplesyrup @orfeoarte

@oblivions-dawn @vivifriend @kookaburra1701 @changelingsandothernonsense @dirty-bosmer and anyone else who wishes to join in this week!! <3

this week, i bring a long (1.6k word) section of Chapter 42 of Cycle of the Serpent. the trio are on their way to Wolfskull Cave, and who knows what they'll find there… fun fact, this chapter (as of rough edits, not completed) is 11.5k words, my longest for the fic yet.

Clouds bowed over the distant horizon. The Sea of Ghosts had the peculiar honor of being a divide between Haafingar and Morthal, swamp and rocky shores, the flow of the saltwater carried into an estuary and the Karth River not too far from the Dragon Bridge lumber mill. Athenath thought of his father. He'd been a lumber worker when their mother had met him, and continued the line of work even when it took him away from the city of Anvil proper for days on end. He would come home, and sleep, and work, the post-Great War economy a wobbling, flightless thing, especially for the family of Mer. The map laid out the names of towns in dark ink, marked with the routes the trio had traced, spindly along the pre-illustrated paths. The road, which the trio had become familiar with and moreso by every trip out of the city, bore them west. The sun straggled through the mountains that crowded up one side of the way, laced through the limbs of the trees which bit down on a thick wind off the beach. Athenath pulled their knapsack tighter as his curls whipped at his cheek, scrunching their face as more tickled the back of his neck. The armor's stitching, courtesy of Emeros, held up well, and kept them warm. The leather held off the sun's burn and cold breeze, but in the summer-end heat, did its job a little too well in staving off the chill of the wind. Autumn was near its beginnings, however, and they could glean the slightest gold on the edges of the leaves. Hearthfire was near its end, as was the summer. Soon, the green grasses would grow brittle and flax-yellow, and the trees would be bare, aside from the evergreens and conifers that pinned the horizon together. Soon, maybe, this would all be over.

The inside-of-outside-of sensation which made the potent mixture of his distrust and revulsion had only grown in strength since the day before, as if it was coming to a grand crescendo. It snuck up on the Altmer, a spider on the shoulder or a whisper in the dark. He looked to Emeros and it coiled like an adder. He looked to Wyndrelis and it growled in warning like a dog. He looked to the sky and thought of the things the others had done to keep them alive, what they'd all done to keep one another alive, and it grew until it choked on its own ends, and suffocated under the weight of the reminders. The nights together in laughter or in silence, however few there were, still burnt brighter than what unseen hands tried to extinguish them. The cave was not far from the town of Dragon Bridge, past the farm where the chickens' clucking took up the air, along with the slightly sour, earthy-wet stench of livestock. The odor hung as the trio passed by, waving to the woman working to harvest what her garden had given her before it all went to ruin. The passing look of the idyllic spot before the sea, close to a town but just out of the way, brought back a gnawing of want for Riverwood. It was the first scant amount of peace that Athenath had experienced in this land, and the tall pines and looming mountains were a longing he couldn't put out of mind. Sure, there had been battle in the barrow and a hunt for a strange wolf and the skinning of it which left them nauseated and pale, but it was, in the hue of nostalgia, a fond memory. The time before the trek to Whiterun and the battle at the watchtower, the time before the Dragonborn. He did not want to know what it meant to carry that title. It wasn't theirs to take, they thought as they continued their leisurely pace in the middle of the other two, Emeros at the back, as though keeping watch for some invisible force, the Altmer's nerves on edge at the sight. Wyndrelis stepped in a slow stride, having spent early morning examining soul gems, most empty. He'd said something to himself about needing an enchantment table, and had scrutinized his mace while saying so, but all else had been nothing to the Altmer, who knew only the barest amount about magic. It was all around them, and for a high elf, knowing little magic was a shame, their ability with it ceasing at the fickle flame that they sometimes had luck in making with their fingers. But he'd had their excuses - raised in the Imperial province, in the time just after a war with elves, magic was a distrustful beast which skulked all around the air and deep into the earth. In the wake of such a war, Wyndrelis had not been daunted. He'd reached into the fabric of the world around them, took hold of the magic, and knit it into himself to make it his own.

And so had the wizards, stalking shadows of a cave hidden from the city and towns and farms, out of the way of all, and taking down ten men in one blow. Athenath swallowed dryly. The image of the cart full of stinking bodies wouldn't leave them, no matter how many times they scrubbed at their eyes with his curled fists and summoned spots to their vision. It was a mark in their mind like a long, broken scar. It took the story of the cave from tale to tangible. It made it real. And Athenath had, somewhere deep down, hoped it was merely myth. "We'll be heading up Mount Kilkreath," Emeros announced from his position at the rear, map clutched in his gauntlet-clad fingers. His gear made thin noises, cloth wrapping around the bottles inside his knapsack. Without his old experiments, he'd made more place for useful potions, and had been quick to purchase ingredients for healing and disease-cures, apparently spending the prior day after Athenath had stormed off in Angeline's Aromatics and working at the alchemy station and asking questions about the flora of Haafingar, where to find certain things, what she recommended for potency in the region, putting the hurried mixtures together. They would not be nearly as effective without time. Emeros had lamented the fact that morning while tucking them into his bag, sharpening his words until the warning was clear: that he would not be of much use if the other two became injured.

"That's not too far," Athenath remarked with a shrug and a small, apprehensive pause, "so Wolfskull Cave is close, then?" "It's practically across the road, we must have missed it by a mile or two the last time we were in the area." Wyndrelis grunted a small noise, as though this were his reply. As though he, too, were not at peace with the arrangement. They could have waited, or not gone to the cave at all. Captain Aldis was the authority in matters like this, but he was going to wait a whole two days to gather the people for the job. This was two days that none of the trio thought the city had. There was an electric quality to the air, like that shiver down the neck before a fearful wailing, that held the clouds at bay and kicked the roots up that grounded the trio's patience. The stench of rotten fruit and musty, humid chambers, the ache of the sleepless nights and the hum of a mood that wasn't theirs. The choice had fallen to the wayside long ago. "So, when we get there, what do we even do?" Athenath's question stuck in the air like a pin in a gown, the other two pausing, strides coming to a slow stop. The trio looked between one another, haggard eyes meeting haggard eyes. Emeros tightened a hand on the strap of his quiver slung over his waist, his bow in firm place on his back. "I'll take anything that's at a distance. I would recommend, however, we keep our heads down. We're merely here to investigate. Should we not see the need for combat, then we shouldn't make it necessary." Wyndrelis curled his lip. "Corpulus said something of wizards, correct?" A beat passed. A nod from the other two. "I don't expect this to be peaceful. I'll try to ward off spells, but you two will have to do the fighting, in that case." The warmth of Dawnbreaker collected in Athenath's awareness. The sword would serve them well if they went up against the undead, but weren't swords only as good as the swordsman? Their palms went clammy at the thought. They were not exactly a skilled swordsman, or fighter of any capacity. They preferred to hide in the shadows and dodge the light, to keep their footsteps quiet and to leave no trace of himself, not to fight up against anyone or anything.

Athenath tied their hair back with the scarlet ribbon in their pocket. He tightened it a handful of times to make sure it would hold, and drew in a long, tense breath. Their hair always had a habit of getting in his face at the wrong time. They wouldn't risk their own body betraying him in a moment of needed focus. "It's just up the way," Emeros looked to the figure of Meridia, the statue which grew closer with each step, "let's mind our surroundings and try to be quiet from this point onwards." The other two didn't reply, as though the idea had been taken to heart in the fullest extremes.

Beach Episode

genre: fluff, established relationship

pairing: matthew x reader

warnings: barely proofread but they're cutie pies

word count: ~850

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

▸ Now Playing: Sweat

Since you rolled down your window, you’ve felt the cool breeze tangle and tousle your hair on the two-hour-long car ride. You know that your hair’s going to look and feel crazy when you get out, but you have a hairbrush for that. The other notable sensation is the hand intertwined with yours on your seat, and a calloused finger rubs your hand comfortably. You left at 3:00, right after the rush of beachgoers. If you had left at 3:00 you’d get there at 5:00, but it’s already 5:30 and you’re just getting there. Matthew's attentiveness made you behind schedule, he was careful to remember to pack a cooler of your favorite drinks, and some extra towels.

As you approach the beach, the sun is still high enough in the sky and people are milling about all over the beach. Matthew parks the car in a carefully selected spot by the fenced entrance to the tall dunes. The asphalt is hot from the beating sun and interspersed with piles of pale yellow sand. The beach looks gorgeous, the waves are breaking slowly on the shore and you can see a sandbar close to shore that a couple kids are walking on. The breaking waves are white with foam, but the farther out to sea you look, the more beautiful blue the sea looks.

“Alright! I got the cooler.” Matthew calls from the other side of your car, breaking you from your stupor. 

“Oh, I can get the towels.” You call back, but when you turn around, you see the towels already slung over his shoulder in a way that should not be as attractive as you find it. Closing the trunk, you walk over to him and slip your hand into his left since his right is occupied with the cooler that he swears isn’t too heavy for him to carry—and looking at his arms, it probably isn’t.

A gull caws above you, “Look at that! It really feels like the beach.” You comment and he hums in agreement and squeezes your hand. “I slipped in some more of your favorite soda right before we left.” You tell him, revealing your surprise and he smiles. He smiles a big, genuine smile. You don’t know if it’s because of the scenery or the sand beneath you, or maybe it’s your adoring boyfriend next to you, but your heart swells. Approaching your selected location, you can hear the waves crashing and it sounds just like having your ear in a conch shell.

Approaching the rocky outcove, he sets the cooler and towels down on the sand. You grab a thin striped towel and snap it over the uneven sand and it falls almost perfectly, save for the corner that’s tucked under itself. Thankfully, Matthew reaches down and straightens it out. To keep the wind from messing with your perfect towel, you place rocks on the edges and your second towel (for drying off, obviously) folded in the middle.

First deciding to lay down and stretch out after the long ride where your legs were forcingly bent, you turn on your side to face your boyfriend who’s sitting upright, supported by his arms behind him. Relaxing with Matthew on the sand is pleasant, but as the afternoon wears on and the sun begins its descent toward the horizon, the temperature feels like it climbs higher. The higher temperature is enticing you both with the promise of cool relief of the ocean waters.

“Swim?” You exchange a single word with Matthew, and that’s all it takes for you both to rise from your spot on the sand, eager to immerse yourselves in the refreshing water. Walking quickly, you make your way to the shoreline, the sand shifting beneath your feet.

The waves lap gently at the shore with the lateness of the day, inviting you in with their rhythmic motion. Matthew takes your hand and his grip is firm and reassuring. The coolness—coldness—envelops you, sending shivers down your spine as you adjust to the temperature. The saltwater buoys you up as you glide through the waves. You dive beneath the surface and the cool water wraps you in its embrace. 

When you surface, Matthew is beside you, his hair is slicked back from his face. As you both surface, your hair is strewn across your face, and you hear Matthew’s infectious laugh ring out from next to you. “What? As if your wet hair looks any better.” You tease him with a giant grin on your face. You’re lying. You don’t know if his wet hair looks better than yours, but you know it looks damn good.

"I'm laughing because you're cute." He cocks an eyebrow to taunt you and you submerge to hide your intense blush, but he knows.

"You're cute." You bubble, and it's your only response—and it's true.

"Have my charms dazed you?" He asks, smug.

"Oh my gosh, shut up."

Together, you float on your backs, gazing up at the vast expanse of sunset sky above. You hope that this is a memory that will stay with you after the sun is set and the waves are, again, two hours away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ramble: "have my charms dazed you" is something my boyfriend actually said to me before we were dating and i still didnt realize he liked me lol

since you reblogged — something I want to know about you: What is your fondest memory?

My fondest memory? That's a tough one ...

How do I choose from sixty years' worth of memories the one that deserves the honour of being my fondest? Should it be one about time spent with my parents, or a friend, or a memory of something that happened when I was alone? Should it be a memory of a kindness from a stranger?

I really can't choose just one to be my favourite memory ... so I'll give you a list just off the top of my head.

- The smell of my father's pipe tobacco (the brand was Amphora Red) -- I was about eight when he quit, but all these years later I can still recall that fragrance. I don't smoke, but if I did I'd smoke a pipe with that brand of tobacco.

- The taste of my mother's cooking.

- Watching the Irish Rovers on TV. They had a half-hour musical comedy variety show on CBC TV that aired Sunday evenings (1971-1976), and I was in love with them -- especially Jimmy Ferguson. When he died in 1997 I cried like a baby. RIP, Big Jim.

- Taking my dog to the park.

- Listening to music with my da.

- Taking part in school plays and variety shows.

- Opening presents on Christmas morning.

- Sam the Record Man -- I went there at least once a week (a couple of weeks ago I found out that the last one left, located in Ontario, is closing for good -- the end of an era).

- My friend Nolan -- we lost touch years ago, and I have no way of getting back in touch with him. He was my best friend and the love of my life. I never told him how I really felt -- back then I was too scared of losing his friendship if he didn't feel the same way -- it was the '80s, and homophobia was at a fever pitch because of AIDS. It's something I'll always regret.

- PJ's Pet Centre. The one in the Alexis Nihon Plaza, which closed decades ago, had a front part with pet supplies as well as puppies, kittens, hamsters, guinea pigs, etc (this was before the general public found out about puppy mills and the like), but in back the only light was from the aquariums -- there were both fresh- and saltwater installations, and the most amazing variety of aquatic life in all the colours of the rainbow and beyond.

- Visiting the restaurants and shops in Chinatown with my ma.

- The sound of crickets on warm summer evenings.

- Fireflies twinkling in the bushes after dark.

- Walking along the river and coming upon a Great Blue Heron -- it was just standing on the bank, looking out over the water and looking for all the world like something from the Jurassic. I'd only ever seen pictures of them before, and I was awestruck.

- Seeing the aurora borealis in Saskatchewan -- if God exists, that's what He/She/It/They look like imo.

I could go on for hours, but I'll stop here -- you get the idea.

Thank you for the trip down memory lane.

@mechatiqe cont. from (X)

Gundham had noticed Kazuichi milling about as he wandered the waterline, it was rather difficult not to, with how the mechanic stuck out in his bright attire, but he was payed little mind beyond an occasional glance out of the corner of his eye. In all honestly, Gundham was waiting for him to leave, the breeder having become frustrated with his inability to swim at the start of the class vacation to Jabberwock, and had found himself wanting to at least somewhat remedy his unease with the water.

He didn't even know when he had waded further out into the sea, the self proclaimed Overlord having become distracted by a small crab as it skittered through the tidepools and into the ocean proper. One moment he was above water, and then next his vison grew blurry as he was pulled under by an unexpected wave. Ironically enough, the one thing he had brought for comfort had only made his situation all the worse, the ends of his scarf getting tangled on a piece of driftwood settled deep below the surf as he struggled to resurface. He thought he had almost made it when he saw a bright flash of yellow, but what was assumed to be the sun turned out to be a certain neon pain in the ass he could never seem to shake.

Gasping as he broke the surface, Gundham did his best to keep from pulling them back under until they were far enough in to drag themselves onto the sandy shore. Sputtering and wheezing through lungfuls of saltwater, the breeder's eyes and lungs burned with the unwelcome intrusion as he tried to regain his breath. He didn't answer Kaz's question, though not from the inability to, but from the sudden panicked realization his scarf was no longer about his neck.

"My...where is-" Looking around frantically now, his sudden brush with death was all but forgotten as he turned back towards the water. "My scarf, I need-"

do you have posts about silas lore… if not i wish to know it. if so i would like to read them, and i have an alternative question: what would he be most likely to get arrested for :)

Aahh thanks so much for the ask! I don't have any Silas lore posts at the moment (I will endeavor to make one soon). Brief overview below the cut:

He was a choir surgeon who specialized in the phantasms and theorized that they could be used to achieve ascension. He was one of the chief scientists of the research hall and responsible for creating the brainsuckers. After a while, his conscious started to weigh on him, and he began having strange dreams from which he would wake up drenched in saltwater. This culminated in attempted suicide via throwing himself from the top of the clocktower. While prevented, it didn't sway his wanning faith in the church. He began to sneak out and spread anti-church papers that told of some of their practices and raised questions about others under the pen name The Witness. This little ploy was found out by the Church and he was tried for it and put under house arrest in his study in the research hall until they could figure out what to do with him. Then came the night of the burning of Old Yharnam. Silas saw his chance to escape amidst the chaos and took it. It didn't go exactly as planned, as the fall he avoided years caught up with him, albeit from a shorter distance (and accidentally this time), however he did survive with a nasty compound fracture that would mess up his ability to walk normally on his right leg for the rest of his life. He wandered, limped, and dragged his way to Hemwick, where he set up his secret clinic in an abandoned mill. He devoted his practice to curing beasthood without using blood, using surgery and amputation and developing his own drugs to combat it. Along the way three things happen: First, he realizes there are signs he is falling to beasthood as well (the purple im his left eye). Second, he gets addicted to his own experimental drugs after testing on himself for so long. Third, the saltwater dreams do not cease and in fact become clearer, accompanied by a ghost of a rune that he keeps seeing everywhere that he can't decipher the meaning of. He becomes obsessed with the rune, convinced that he's discovered a whole new Great One. The rune is Witness, and the lost Caryll Rune prevents one from suffering the affects of frenzy. Armed with this new boon, he continued to pursue his hidden eldritch patron, desperate to find a cure - now his humanity was on the line as well. His progress was cut short by being discovered by the School of Mensis. Silas was taken captive and his clinic burnt. In the end, he makes contact with his Great One, and is transformed into something half-beast, half-kin.

Omfg sorry I said brief and wrote you an essay fgghghhh at least a Silas lore post exists now!

And in answer to what Silas would probably be arrested for: in modern context, probably making drugs. Any drug crime in the book, actually. Good job Silas walter white-ing it up
