For My Children (Empty Quiver)- The Arcana Fanfiction

Julian Devorak x Mc (Lyra)

Short story (Written in Julian’s POV)

Warnings: None

In a black leather journal, stained with seawater and worn,several short accounts were written down. All important all precious. All a gift from a father to his children.

(I was thinking about this idea, what if Julian wrote down several random stories about his children in their early child hood and such?p.s this is the true universe where the only children of Lyra and Julian who survive are Ella and Ivan.)

Ella-

I remember it well, the day that everything changed. Auburn leaves clung to rough branches awaiting to be carried away with one gentle gust of wind, Autumn was coming to a close and winter was drawing near. Lyra and I were in Ersailles, on the grim occasion of her Uncle, Jean-Burte and his funeral. Lyra was 9 months pregnant at the time, I'll have to admit seeing my petite wife haul around another human inside of her was quite the comedic image. I always had intentions to draw her in this state, but she would never allow it, threatening me in the way that heavily pregnant women do. it was hard for her to do pretty much anything at this point, but her time being with child was met with such joy for all in itself. 9 months was the greatest accomplishment in our venture of trying to start a family. Her cousin, Percy, had been seeing to her health, since I had been far too stressed in the matter to take it upon myself.

Finn and Bèa had invited me out for drinks that early evening, Lyra stayed behind for she wished to do anything but leave the estate. We went and had such a grand time, however I was not drinking my usual fill for reasons to this day I cannot conjure. But gods am I glad I didn’t, for bursting through the dark tavern doors was none other than Mia. My wife’s best friend, handmaid to The Peacock Estate, and wife to Bèa. She was quite the sight running towards us in a wild frenzy out of breath, as she explained to me that my wife had gone into labor. All four of us ran out the door and bolted for the estate, come to think of it I don’t even think we paid our tab, but there were more pressing things on my mind as we burst through the doors of the mansion. Caleb greeted us at the door and explained the situation. Lyra was in the care of her mother, who wasn’t taking the situation well, and word had already been sent to Percy. Although all of us knew full and well that he wouldn’t get here in time. The fate of my unborn child rested in my hands, and in all of my years of being a physician I had delivered hundreds of children before, but something happens to you when you have to deliver your own child. I told Mia exactly what I needed before rushing upstairs to relieve Mabel from tending to Lyra.

Oh how scared she was, I could see it in her eyes, and she had every right to be. We both had lost so much, we both agreed that if this one died and that would be the end of it. We would be crazy bird parents for the rest of our lives.

After what seemed like endless hours of sweat, blood, and tears. It happened everything changed when a single cry broke the tension and the rioting wailes of my wife. A perfectly healthy girl was born to me and my beloved Lyra. She was perfect in every way possible as I stared into her eyes and she stared into mine. Nothing else in the world mattered at that point, all of the wrong things I did in my life, and everything I ever forgave myself for, just melted into oblivion. All that mattered was her, the sweet little girl I held in my arms, it was like a dream, something I never thought I could have, but was staring me right in the eyes and mine to keep forever. I had the greatest honor, of bringing her into this world with my own two hands, I just couldn’t believe it, and that was when I started to weep tears of the purest joy I had ever felt. I had only cried these tears twice in my life, when I first saw Lyra in her gown in white, and in this moment as I held the future of everything that I would ever be in my arms. Lyra was far too exhausted to even speak, but seeing me in tears and the quiet bundle in her arms brought several worries to her heart. She thought our child had died, she thought that she had cried her first and then slipped silently into hands of death within minutes of her birth like we were so used to seeing time and time again. But when I looked up and at my wife I smiled at her and breathed these words through my weeping, “Are you ready to be a mother Lyr?” After that both of us were in tears. I could tell as soon as I placed our dearest treasure in Lyra’s arms that she felt the exact same joy as I had, and perhaps even more. We both just stared at her for hours on end, watching her sleep and awaken. We remarked on her bright eyes and little hands. I would tease Lyra and tell her that their hands were about the same size, we’d both laugh and then go back to just sitting in silence. Our first born, who we later named Elluskkah Lyra, drew her first breath in Ersallies and was brought into the world under unplanned circumstances. All of the hurt, and pain we went through, was all worth it in the end. For my beloved wife Lyra and I had cheated death once again, and that was something we were all too familiar with.

But that’s another story.

HOI GUYS

And gals

And non binary pals

Just a quiiiiick update!

So recently you may have noticed that I haven’t been as active (especially with my mutuals)

And that is because not only am I slowly falling into an art block (that I am full on fighting) but also I have been rethinking a lot of my art choices and what I am choosing to spend my time drawing.

In short, many of you may not know but I have a webcomic! A beautiful one at that! My precious comic Song of the Healers which has been running for almost a year.

The only reason we haven’t broken out if the prologue yet is because life got busy, and I got uninspired to draw panels because The Arcana fandom hit me like a truck (which is not a bad thing at all). So I have taken some time to reasses and think over my art choices. I considered putting the comic on hold once again but I couldn’t bring myself to make hat decision.

So what I have instead decided to do is going to be hard but in the long run, it will help me and my comic.

I have decided that I cannot allow myself to get inspired to do any other art until I get some panels done. That being said (and I’m so sorry to my mutuals in advanced) but I won’t be as active on Discord, at least not right out of the gate in when I wake up. It is going to be hard,but I am so pationate about this comic (and the 200+ pages of script I have already done) and I really want to work hard to make it the greatest it can be! So I won’t be as quick to respond to all the wonderful rps, and chaotic discussions of the many servers I am in.

Just hang tight my dears!
