THE SCREAM I SCRUMPT!!!

@pinkshampooedcows this is amazing!! 😭🥹❤️💚📖

Ugh, look at that gorgeous hair, why did I have him chop it off??? shshjsjsjxa 😂😂 (Oh right ^^^ the symbolism XD)

Oh Draco.. what have you done?

Harry looked at him.. like he saw somebody else- like he saw....

"You can stop looking at me like that, I'm not my fucking father, Potter!"

drew @lilbeanz 's draco malfoy! kinda scuffed but we move...!!! im particularly fond of the hair - the symbolism behind draco cutting it off was beautiful and i loved to draw him as if he was burdened to the resemblance of his father.

does anybody else think that journal's glowing? no... just me? got it.

Leaving Poppy and Dorran to look over the snidgets.

Does anyone find it funny that we just allow Poppy to stay and look over the Snidgets with Dorran the Centaur? Some quests allow you to leave with the character but this one you just leave, and meet up with Poppy later in the Great hall.

My Headcanons for Poppy Sweeting for Hogwarts Legacy:

• Looks like a cinnamon roll but will actually show that Badger side of Hufflepuff if anyone harms animals or someone she trusts. Cause she is a fierce duelist she just doesn’t like to show it.

• Growing up with her parents as poachers she’s got tough skin and not afraid of any bully that tries to pick on her at Hogwarts.

• I feel like Poppy and Ominis would get along very well. At first Ominis wouldn’t want someone new in his inner circle but as the MC invites Poppy to sit at the Slytherin table and on the adventures with them, they start getting along because they both know what it’s like being raised by horrible parents. It’s a surprise friendship.

• Prefers being around animals instead of people because animals won’t judge or harm you in ways people can. Being around creatures helps soothe all the pain she’s seen growing up and strives to make sure all animals are protected.

• She had enough of being around poachers when she was traumatized by a huge slaughtering of innocent creatures which resulted in her being able to see Thestrals. She immediately left her parents and moved in with her Gran.

• She is the sunshine and healer of the group. She radiates positivity and keeps everyone in the light of any dark situation they get themselves in. She’s always ready for any adventure outside the castle and is there for her friends and will stand by them thick and thin.

• After saving the Golden Snidgets Dorran spoke to his herd and they had Poppy and the MC become trusted by the Centaurs which is high honor and it is rare that Centaurs will trust a witch or wizard. So whenever they’re in danger in the Forbidden Forest they’ll come to their aid.

• After everything Poppy opened herself up and to making new friends at Hogwarts. She became close friends to Adelaide Oakes, Natsai Onai & Ominis Gaunt.

• She cherishes any gift given to her by her friends and she’ll already have another gift planned for them.

Shines Like Gold

Welcome to the finale of the four part storyline featuring Poppy Sweeting, Garreth Weasley, and Zsuzsi Schröder as they go on another quest to beat the poachers to the golden snidgets in a secret locale.

As I said before, this series happens simultaneously with my Sebastian, Ominis, and Phineas stories and after I finish the next four parter, everyone will come together for my rewrite of other side quests as well as the main quest

Zsuzsi fully expected that looking for Dorran would be a much longer and more difficult. She worried that they would run into the other centaurs again, and such an encounter would be dire if Dorran had not been able to reason with the rest of his herd. However, it seemed like Dorran saw something in the stars as he met them not too far from the edge of the forest, standing their silently, listening to the sounds of the forest.

“It is good to see you again Dorran,” Poppy greeted the Centaur with a smile

“I am glad you three have returned in one piece.” Dorran smiled with a chuckle, “good that you made a safe return. I did question the wisdom of sending you on a path at a time when that path was unknown at best, deadly at worst. But the acumen of centaurs is neither personal nor partial. The skies tell us what is to come - and often we do not know what we have seen until it has come to pass. Many, many moons ago. I divined a series of events, their meaning long evaded me- until you three brought news of the snidgets and their poachers pursuers. Now, was there anything you discovered?”

“The moonstone summoned mooncalves allowing them to dance as if it were a full moon.” Garreth explained, “Zsuzsi sketched a picture of their dance pattern.”

Zsuzsi pulled out her notepad, flipped to the proper page and showed it the Dorran, “I am not a master of sketching mooncalf dance patterns but this was the design I was able to replicate.”

As Dorran carefully observed Zsuzsi’s sketch, Poppy gently asked, “Do you know why or what it means? Does it have to do with the snidgets?”

Dorran nodded and handed the notepad back to Zsuzsi before turning to their group, “The breath of knowledge can be as wide as the sea and yet only run so deep. I believe the symbol created by the mooncalves’ dance marks the place where the snidgets are hidden. And serendipitously, I believe I know the very place that the symbol refers to. I have only see the symbol once before, on a rock face in the cliffs of the forest, it’s not too far from here. You three should make haste there. The snidgets that have been kept there for so many years may no longer be safe. We cannot afford to lose the snidgets once again.”

“Are you not coming with us?” Garreth asked.

“Do not fret.” Dorran comfortably said, “I need to speak with the herd about this. I will meet you at the symbol in the rock as soon as I can.”

“Thank you for everything Dorran.” Poppy smiled.

Dorran nodded farewell, “Good luck.”

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

“This looks to be the place.” Garreth breathed as he, Zsuzsi, and Poppy approached a stone castle ruins not unlike the one they found where the Hebridean Black was. However, unlike those ruins, these seemed to be more in tact and even livable.

“And look up there!” Poppy pointed out, “The symbol above the entrance, it looks exactly like the ones the mooncalves made at the henge. Of course Dorran implied as much but to see it up there is even more reassuring.”

“So this is where the snidgets are hidden.” Zsuzsi assumed, “Not the place I’d first think of but I guess that is what makes it a good hiding spot.”

“Indeed.” Poppy smiled, “I am glad we seem to be a step ahead of the poachers, although I personally believe they aren’t the brightest in the world as they rely on brute strength to achieve their ambitions.”

“It is it a little strange we haven’t heard anything from them.” Garreth cautiously stated, “It is almost like how we did not hear anything about them after we stole the dragon egg from Horntail Hall.”

“I assume they are still trying to decipher my Gran’s research.” Poppy guessed, “There was a fair amount after all. And unlike them, we have Dorran on our side and as long as we hurry, by the time the poachers get here, we will be long gone and the snidgets will be safe.”

“Should we wait for Dorran?” Zsuzsi asked

“He said he would not be too long so I think we should just go ahead.” Garreth replied confidently and bravely, “We are in a rush after all.”

“True..” Poppy hesitantly agreed, “Plus it looks like we will have to do a bit of work to figure out how to get into these ruins in the first place. There does not seem to be a particular entrance.”

“Perhaps Schröder can find this secret and hidden entrance.” Garreth pointed out charmingly, “She is the Ravenclaw out of all of us.”

“Just because I have to answer a riddle every time I have to get into my dormitory doesn’t mean I can find a secret entrance.” Zsuzsi informed him, “but I will certainly try.” She said as she walked forward, examining the courtyard.

There were three pillars, two were placed on a circular pattern while the third was in the middle, with a perfect space to put the moonstone in, not unlike the henge they had previously discovered. Curious, she carefully placed the moonstone in to see what would happen. She had half expected mooncalves to come once again yet that did not seem to happen. Instead, the moonstone glowed and seemed to trigger the glowing of two different runes on the doorway arch. Zsuzsi walked a little bit closer to the doorway to examine the specific runes.

She turned to Garreth, “You took ancient runes did you not? Can you read these symbols for me.”

“I may not be as good as Hearst but let’s see.” Garreth commented before coming next to Zsuzsi, after examine the runes he spoke once again, “Each seems to reflect a different natural element. The two with the glowing outlines seem to be the symbols for light and air.”

“Intriguing.” Zsuzsi noted.

“Do you think the pillars move?” Poppy suggested, “If they do then perhaps putting them in the proper positioning, to where they align with these symbols, will allowing the door to open.”

Garreth playfully shrugged his shoulders, “Suppose it’s worth a shot.”

It took a few different tries to get the proper positioning of the pillars to be perfectly precise. It almost seemed like potion making, one small error could cause the whole process to not properly function. Zsuzsi was just glad the pillars were capable of moving using magical methods as they looked extremely heavy and difficult to push or pull. However, soon enough they were able to pass through the doorway and entered into a darker room lit by candles.

“Look at the murals on the wall!” Poppy was the first to make an observation about the room, “They are all creatures. This seems to be such a relaxing place, unlike any of the oppressive poacher camps.”

“Basically this is a place where creatures can be free and unharmed by human civilization and greed?” Garreth assumed.

“Exactly!” Poppy beamed. “The aura this place gives off is one of safety and serenity.”

As they continued walking, Zsuzsi stumbled into another room, it’s walls filled with books that stretched up to the sky, “Whoever built this place certainly liked to read.”

“So probably a bookworm Ravenclaw like Amit or Marie?” Garreth noted.

“Probably.” Zsuzsi chuckled, as much of a stereotype it was for Ravenclaws to love research and reading, Zsuzsi had only read a couple of books of magical origin during her time at Hogwarts so far that were not a part of the curriculum. Yet, this place seemed as vast as the restricted section of the library at Hogwarts was rumored to be. But instead of it being filled with books about dark magic, these seemed to be filled with novels and research account about any type of magical creature you could dream of. She turned to Poppy with a smile, “Based on everything you have told me, your Gran would love it here.”

“She would!” Poppy exclaimed in agreement, “I can’t wait to tell her all about it.”

As they reached a balcony that overlooked what appeared to be a ballroom, Garreth made a request, “You think me and Zsu will be able to meet her some time? She seems like a remarkable woman.”

“I’m sure I can arrange a meeting.” Poppy smiled, “My gran’s home is so quaint and beautiful, creatures never seem to show any fear when approaching her backyard. Almost as if she were like one of those princesses from muggle fairytales.”

“Sounds so enchanting.” Zsuzsi noted, “I would personally enjoy seeing what your Gran’s study is like.”

“It’s truly remarkable, reminds me a lot of this place except on a smaller scale, you’ll never know what you will discover next” Poppy explained. “And-“

Suddenly a voice broke through their whimsical wonder, and it certainly did not belong to Dorran, “Little Poppy Sweeting!” It called out in a taunting fashion, “Forgot to cover your tracks?”

“What was that..?” Garreth whispered

Before someone could answer his question, the sounds of Apparation were heard all throughout the structure as poachers filled the room. In addition, there seemed to be some other dark wizards with them such as a man in a old fashioned black suit and top hat and a bald man with a bowler hat. While she did not vividly remember any of the poachers appearances whenever she retold the stories of the recent events to Marie and Samantha in the privacy of their dormitory, she recognized many of the faces as the poachers that resided at Horntail Hall with their disgusting dragon fighting ring.

“No…” Poppy breathed, defeated

“Well, well, well.” The man with the top hat began tauntingly, “So these are the three students causing trouble for my allies. Perhaps you are friends with the three Slytherins who have been causing me so much strife recently.”

“How did you find this place!” Poppy spat.

One of the poachers, the one who seemed to be in charge of that section judging by how closely the woman stood next to the man in the top hat and his assistant, replied callously, “Just a bit of luck from some vague journals.”

“Why don’t your children do us a favor and tell us what you know of the plans of Phineas Hearst and his two companions.”

Ever since Poppy told her and Garreth about what she overheard about the poachers and their connection to Rookwood’s gang not so long ago. Zsuzsi always suspected they were after Phineas for some reason but she did not know why. She did know he had a talent for seeing ancient magic, basically everyone in their year knew that if they watched how much time he spent with his mentor to hone his skills. He was truly a nice guy and to think someone like him was being hunted down by dark wizards to be used as a pawn was infuriating.

“You’re despicable! Poppy called out to them in a horrified tone, “The lot of you! Don’t you people have anything better to do. You are not getting those snidgets!”

Suddenly, the rushing sound of an arrow came above them and towards the man in the top hat. In fact, it probably would have stroke him in the chest if he had not quickly cast a protego charm. Zsuzsi secretly wished that the arrow did meet its target, it would have certainly relieved the world of a cruel face.

Dorran and Elek emerged from behind them, the former encouraged them to stay strong, “Ready your wands!” He informed them, “The fight has only begun.”

The next few moments were a blur. Zsuzsi instinctively hurried down to the main floor and started hurling spells. In particular she cast a couple of spells causing the man with the top hat’s hat to be set on fire, causing him to run around like a screaming child. Poppy seemed to enjoy the sight as she hurled spells with just as much speed, it must have made her feel like she was doing a right in the world and getting back at them for doing such a horrific break in of her gran’s home. Garreth was the most skilled dueler of all of them and cast many knock back jinxes and banishing spells as if it was nothing, it was truly admirable. Surprisingly, even though they were outnumbered, the poachers and their colleagues were not putting much of a fight as Zsuzsi would have expected, perhaps they were all just talk.

Zsuzsi looked over as Garreth breathed heavily, “I think that was all of them..”

Dorran approached them with haste with Elek trailing behind, “Are the three of you unharmed? I had hoped to return before it was too late.”

“We are fine.” Poppy assured him after catching her breath, “but if you had not gotten here when you did..”

Elek seemed to be quite impressed, initially Zsuzsi thought he was just admiring the structure itself, that was, until he spoke, “You three fought with us against your own kind.” He then smiled, something Zsuzsi was surprised the leader of the centaurs was capable of after their last interaction, “I am glad to have witnessed this. I now believe all that Dorran told me.”

Dorran turned to Elek, “They are the ones I saw in my vision.”

Elek nodded in understanding, “Come let us finish your work here. After all, not all of the events have yet come to pass.”

Zsuzsi wandered around and stood in front of a door that looked oddly familiar. Almost similar in the design to that strange clock Phineas, Sebastian, Ominis, and much earlier, Anne, always enjoyed meeting at. A Latin phrase had been etched in on the top ‘Tantum genus cor transeat‘, unfortunately Zsuzsi was not sure what it meant. Soon enough, out of know power of her own, the sun and moon dials on the face of the door started spinning, allowing the door to open, revealing a woodland paradise that seemed to perfect to be real.

As they walked into the room, Dorran motioned over to a nook near by where the tree met the ground, “There they are.” There, three golden eggs shimmered and were protected by a radiant barrier. Once they got closer, he turned to the three of them, “Now all that remains is to break the charm.”

“You want us to-“ Poppy beamed, as she looked closer at the golden eggs, however, rather than pulling out her wand, she turned to Zsuzsi in particular, “You should do it, I only ever wanted to see them safe, and I have to thank both you and Garreth for helping me do so.”

“Of course.” Zsuzsi smiled as she pulled out her wand and cast a quick counter charm to make the shield disappear. As soon as she did, the eggs started rattling and hatching, allowing beautiful birds with feathers of gold to peak out with chirps that were music to the ears.

“Merlin,” Poppy exclaimed, “They are lovely.”

Garreth turned to the the group, “but what happens now?” He asked, “They can’t care for themselves and surely once word gets out about their reappearance..”

“No harm will come to them.” Elek assured the Gryffindor, “The centaurs will see to that, you have my word.”

Poppy smiled at Dorran, “Thank you for helping us find them and to fight for them.”

“It is you three who deserve the merit.” Dorran pointed out wisely, “You three did what the poachers never can, remember that. You have fought bravely, allow us to take the mantle and assist you in your future endeavors.”

Hello! I’m thrilled to meet a writer who will create Newt Scamander Fics! That’s amazing he’s super underrated! That being said I would be more than thrilled to request a touched starved Newt Scamander x fem (or Gn if that’s what you’d prefer) Reader who Newts in an established relationship with but it’s new and he’s eager to initiate intimate moments with them big or small to show he loves them. Reader could also be newts assistant as well! Thank you!

i've had this sitting in my drafts for the longest time. just something short and cute. ty anon <3 !

title: scrapped

newt scamander x reader !

you had first met newt when he first began his travels. as silly as it seemed at the time, he was in dire need of an assistant to care for his animals and, in turn, you had been in need of a job. growing up, an elderly neighbor of yours had been a puffskein breeder for some time. it was at a young age where you were taught the beauty of magical nature, where a love for creatures was born. so, with that warm desire to care and protect these creatures, you had studied materials available to you in hopes to learn more of them. when you had learned a young man in the ministry was in the process of writing a manuscript on the information and care of these creatures, you had beamed at the thought of another wizard caring for them as much as you did. you had almost jumped at the ‘in need of assistant’ announcement that floated around hogsmeade as you worked a bored shift at a small corner bakery. seeing as you were one of the few options, newt had chosen you to work alongside him and his beloved creatures. with proper instruction and care, they soon became your creatures as much as they were his and everything seemed more lively around the case.

now, five years later, you sat quietly at newt’s kitchen table, humming to the music playing off the phonograph. on this quiet spring day, you two had initially planned to go on a nice, much needed date. the weather, on the other hand, had other plans. the rain pelted down against the pavement almost as soon as you arrived at his quaint townhome. so, instead of going for a nice lunch, you two had opted to stay inside and enjoy each other’s company. the fireplace warmed the home and the smell of stew wafted around the kitchen. as you made your lunch, newt was in the basement tending to the creatures. though working with him everyday for years, you and newt had only started dating four months ago (there was always a push and pull from either of you deeming a romantic relationship inappropriate for work partners before he asked you to go out for dinner one night and you caved into his romances). you had slowly come to terms with his home being yours in a sense that you were here on both your on and off days. you lifted yourself from your spot at the dining table, leaving your sketch of the small golden snidget you had recently rescued, and made your way back into the small kitchen to finish your meals. your hips swayed to the music that played quietly from the living room as you fixed two bowls of stew for you and your boyfriend, setting a kettle on the stove for tea afterwards. and, with both bowls in hand, you make your way down to the basement.  

newt is at his own desk downstairs, eyes fixated on whatever's in front of him when you find him. it’s warm in the basement, or at least where he is currently stationed, and you find yourself tugging at the sweater you had decided to wear. you clear your throat to let your presence downstairs known before stepping to his desk, placing the warm soup in front of him. “your lunch, sir” you say lightly to him, a smile gracing your features. he can’t help but smile as well, moving whatever was in front of him out of view.  “thank you, dear.. it smells wonderful,” he says, looking around his desk for his wand. upon finding it, with the flick of his wrist, your own desk chair from across the room finds its way to the table, next to his. “come sit, i do have something to show you..” newt explains, smiling as you take a seat- the chair pushes in the slightest bit afterwards. you giggle at the small gesture. once settled in your seat, your boyfriend scoots his chair a little closer to yours with the tiniest blush on his face. how cute. clearing the table of the stray papers and tools, he reveals what he had been keeping behind his back. it was a small folded bouquet of flowers using old papers from the past few weeks. you feel that your cheeks warm up at the cute gesture, still not used to the small acts of love that came with the new relationship. you take the small bouquet of flowers from him, smiling at him warmly. “i was going to buy one while we were out for lunch today before the weather turned upset. i hope this can make up for it for now,” he tells you softly, eyes darting from your own and to the paper in your hands. you admire the work, seeing scribbled bits and pieces of scrapped notes and drawings- his handwriting and love coating each fold of the paper. 

with the smell of your lunch wafting through the office, the sounds of the animals milling about their days from out the door, and the love of your life next to you.. there was nothing else you could ask for.

Part 1 here

But where my heart really melts is here.

Poppy is immediately concerned about poachers finding the golden snidgets but Dorran reassure her.

At the words "You did what the poachers would never have. Remember that" Tori looks at Poppy because she knows Poppy needed to hear those words.

And Tori didn't speak a word in the entire scene as if she doesn't want to break the magic.

[stvrlvghtwrites]

someone tell me what to do with my life now the golden snidget is over and the wait for the next instalment has begun 😭

AU 18 (wizardry)

it's the beginning of finals week(s) for me so my brain is actually fried, so obvs we're doing the most overdone au ever

-Harry potter au!

-I think the HP fic where everyone likes Nico got deleted, couldn't find it

-anyways, houses, y'all can try and argue but Huf!Nico and Sly!Leo, maybe Rev!Leo but I feel like that's the easy way out

-in fact I don't think they should be in Hogwarts at all, let's do an Ilvermory au

-Wampus Nico x Horned Serpent Leo, maybe Thunderbird Nico, is he more a warrior or an explorer?

-Leo is a meneace and the next grreatest magical inventor, also a half-blood

-Nico is a pureblood with the usual amounts of pureblood family drama, he believes in mother magic which makes him greyish vis-a-vis his magic

-neither's into quidditch but Leo's incredible at exploding snap, while Nico has a penchant for magical chess

-regardless of house Nico is one of the best duelers, Leo's insane at charms and has actually created a few of his own

-that was a thing, Nico aproaches him bc to create spells you gotta really get magic, and he wants to study Leo bc of it

-Leo starts learning abt old magic from Nico, Nico starts learning abt muggle stuff from Leo

-they start making excuses to see the other, like asignments in classes the other isn't even that good on, or Leo joining the dueling club even though he's shit at offensive spells

-Nico's pet is a cat with the most intense aura

-I really want to give Leo a golden snidget, it makes zero sense, but still. He didn't have one in my imagination, just an undefined critter, so I looked up magic creatures (there's somethign called the glubumble that's adorably pathethic)

-eventually the others notice valdangelo doing circles and shenanigans ensue

-Nico's patronus, I feel, would be a thestral (first time most ppl seen one), Leo's is totally a dragon, like what else?

-their amortentia smells like each other, yes, but it also smells like magic, somehow??

-they both suck at herbology

-they probably get together during christmass break when none of their friends are there to see

-anyway that's all I've got

Ominis’ Birthday

Part 13 of the Obliviate Series

Ominis x MC

Summary: you find about Ominis birthday and decide to spend the day spoiling him.

Warnings: oops got slightly mature 18+

Fall's cold wind has blown across the castle turning all the leaves beautiful shades of red, yellow, orange, and everything in between. Ominis lays napping under a tree as you read a poorly translated manuscript from the Americas about the magic users that live there. The French author seemed to be hinting at ancient magic but his English was almost as bad as your French it seemed. There were too many things lost in translation to fully glean his meaning. With a loud huff you toss the book on the grass turning your attention to Ominis peacefully sleeping form. Watching the steady rise and fall of his chest makes you tired.

“MC.” A soft voice says behind you. Jumping a foot into the air you turn to see Poppy. Smiling at the intruder you scoot away from Ominis so the two of you can chat.

“I was going to go to visit the Golden Snidgets this evening if you would like to join me.” Poppy says softly, taking a seat on the grass.

“Can’t. It is Ominis Birthday and he doesn’t know I know.” You giggle. Giving you a confused look Poppy asks,

“And why are you keeping it a secret you know?”

“Well Sebastian told me and apparently it’s a sore topic because of his parents messed up traditions have ruined birthdays for him. So I have decided I will just be extra nice to him all day and give him a good birthday anyways.” Poppy laughs and rolls her eyes at you.

“You are hopeless!”

“As if you would not do the same for Sebastian.” You tease. Her face goes red as she picks a blade of grass.

“It’s not like he would ever notice me anyways.”

“Sebastian just has terrible taste in women! Someday he’s going to wake up and realize how amazing you are.” Poppy laughs, shoving you as you continue “Unfortunately for him, by then you will have died of a broken heart.” You pick up a pebble and try to toss it into your friend's indignant open mouth.

“More like I will have run off to live in the forest with the centaurs.” She corrects.

“That I could see.”

“I will have to find someone to go on adventures with me after we all graduate and you and Ominis go to live in your castle together!”

“It is not a castle!” You correct for the millionth time. Your laughter wakes up your sleeping companion. Laying in the grass with his head now propped up by his arm Ominis asks,

“What is not a castle?” Poppy gets up winking at you.

“Oh nothing!” She laughs and walks away. You move back to your spot next to Ominis under the tree

“Poppy calls our home a castle.” You explain.

“Oh but it is!” Ominis plays along. “Only a castle could hold your beauty.” You snort at his ridiculous sentiment as you reach into your charmed bag and pull out a picnic lunch. Ominis cocks a head at you listening with a smile he asks.

“Do I smell food?”

“I figured we would be spending the afternoon outside so I packed a lunch.” You proceed to pull out a simple but delicious packed lunch each item precured to Ominis tastes. You offer Ominis a sandwich which he happily receives. After taking a bite he gives you a funny look

“This wasn’t on the menu for today's lunch. Did you make it yourself?” You root around in your bag trying to dodge the question.

“What they had didn’t sound good.” You mumble pulling out a bottle from the bag and pour piping hot tea into a mug then set it in front of Ominis. The boy settles down in the turf as he munches on the lunch. After eating his fill Ominis stretches lazily and stands.

“Care for a walk?” As he speaks, offering you a hand. Taking the hand you stroll along the path animatedly describing the surroundings to Ominis as you go. He loves listening to your description of the world around you calling it “seeing through your eyes” secretly he just loves how into the task you are diligently reporting everything you feel he would find interesting. You walk a while in this fashion with no particular destination when you get an idea. Covertly you lead the stroll up the side of a mountain taking a less traveled trail. After about thirty minutes of a less than leisurely hike Ominis stops panting slightly.

“Where on earth are you leading me?”

“Just a little farther.” You urge not attempting to hide your manipulation. He wrinkles his nose at you but quickly relents, continuing the hike. Eventually stopping at the entrance to a cave you turn to Ominis.

“Care to explore?”

“Why do I have the feeling you already have?” He snorts attempting to hide his amusement. You take hold of his hand and drag him. Not very far in the cave opens up to a spacious cavern with lots of pools of steaming water.

“What is this place?” He questions feeling the warm moisture in the air. You start to undress as you explain

“Hot springs! Undress!” Neatly folding his clothes into a pile, Ominis strips down to his underwear. You giggle at the modesty removing every last piece of clothing from yourself then lead him to a pool. Gingerly you lower yourself into the steaming water. Ominis slides in next to you letting out a long sigh. Both soaking for a bit you let the tension in your muscles relax. You lean against Ominis with your eyes half shut drinking in the warmth after a chill day. His hand feels up and down your body until eventually he asks.

“Mc? Are you naked?” You giggle unable to keep the secret any longer

“Happy Birthday.”

Hello!

I absolutely love your blog, and I enjoy reading your theories on the game. I particularly like the idea of a secret society connected to ancient magic, and whilst writing notes for a fic, I needed some more lore on Isadora to flesh out that part of the story. Your blog came to mind immediately, and I came back to read ALL of your posts.

My question to you is, would you mind if I used the Forgotten Witch idea along with the secret society in my story? I would, of course, credit you for the information in the posting of it. You have gone to such an effort to research all that detail out, and it deserves the recognition!

It would not be word for word, and I would put my own spin on things, but it is essentially your theory.

Also, do you have any thoughts on what the magical beasts are that could be linked to this society?

Thank you for such interesting content!

Hi!

Thank you for the kind words 💙 And I don't mind at all! In fact, I would be soooo happy to see anyone incorporating any of my theories in their fics and adding their own ideas to it! 😊

Honestly, I'm too lazy to write a fic about it myself right now so I would really enjoy reading about it in someone else's story :) I'll keep an eye on your blog when you post it 👀

About the role of magical beasts, I'm not too sure yet but I think maybe some ancient magic rituals might use some of the beasts by-products since those are imbued with magic. At first I thought maybe it was only dragons and phoenixes that could be linked to ancient magic since both those creatures are represented in the pages of the ancient magic book but several different types of magical beasts are also represented on banners, crests and murals found in castle ruins that also have the hooded statues and so are probably linked to the secret society. I think the place where the golden snidgets are kept also belongs to the secret society.

You can see on the banners and murals there are also centaurs, unicorns, sphinxes, hippogriffs, kelpies, mermaids, gryffins, pixies, thestrals and several different types of birds!
