Sketchbook Log: ROTG Halloween 2024 - Day 5 Apparition

@rotg-halloween

The apparition arrived soaking wet and covered in lake life. It always loomed over Mary with ice skates in hand. It would never say a word but had a dangerous magnetic draw. Mary knew it wasn’t really Jack, and that if she looked back and acknowledged it…. She would never be seen from again. Fae are tricky that way. Often disguised as those who you have lost.

Dystopia

@rotg-halloween

"Do you think we're headed toward a dystopia?" Jack asked from where he lay on his stomach in the dying grass.

Pitch was stretched out on his back. He didn't open his eyes. "We're in a dystopia."

Jack nudged him with his elbow. "Well that's depressing."

Pitch scoffed. "You asked."

The Legend of the little Boy.....

Twas a cold dark night in auttum and Pippa was resting in her little bed,she was tired and was almost ready to go to sleep,Jack tucked her in gently.

Pippa however was not ready to go to sleep yet

“Jack?Could you tell me a story, you know lots of them!Could you tell me one please?”

“Okay,but you'll have to go to sleep after”He said,Jack really did hear plenty over the years and liked telling them to the kids

“I will!Could you please tell me one of your spooky stories?”

“A spooky story?”But it's not Halloween just yet,besides you're trying to go to sleep and a scary story will just keep you up and give you nightmares”He said to little girl

“Oh!Don't worry about that youre stories never scare me!Go on now!Tell it.”She replied,eagerly awaiting his answear

When Jack heard that a mischievous grin formed on his face 

“WE-L-L If you insist,here is an old story about a boy from long,long ago”He said as he sat on her bed and began to unfold his old story:

He lived in a little town. I don't know his name but I do know he was a chipper and eager little boy who was part of a family of LumberJacks.

He worked hard day after day with his dear father and other fellow Lumberjacks and was friendly with everyone and loved his little town very much and all of its surrounding….

There was however one particular part he didn't really like…

There was an old abandoned quarry a few miles away down a sideroad,many claimed it to be haunted,the little boy was always nervous whenever he had to venture there.He didn't know why exactly,but he always felt as if he was being watched....

One night he came back to town along with a last load of lumber in a horse drawn cart with other lumberjack, when one of the Lumberjacks came to him “Little boy could you please go back down the road to pick up a cart,it was left there by mistake and well really need it for tomorrow”

The brave boy was always happy to help so he got on a pony and raced into the night to find the missing cart.

As he headed boldly in the darkness though a fog came down “Surely it will pass over soon,besides it'll take more than a bit of fog to stop me” The fog however quickly became so thick that he lost his way down the road.

And ended up getting lost and going the wrong way.

The boy was unaware of this until he reached his destination.

For in the fog he became so lost that he hadn't realized that he was heading towards the abandoned quarry.

The little boy was scared of being at the quarry all alone in the dark,but he was tired and so was his pony and he knew it was unsafe to head back down the road in the thick haze…

In spite of his fear,he decided it was for the best to wait until morning in hopes that the fog would be better then

He went into one of the old buildings and drifted off uneasily to slumber.

Late that night awoke startled to a noise coming from beneath the building.

He opened his eyes and saw long ghastly looking fingers reaching for him through the floorboards!

THERE WAS A MONSTER under the structure.

Terrified, the little boy ran out of the building as fast as his legs could carry him, with the horrible man-eating monster chasing him through the night……………..

“The-then what happened?”Pippa asked nervously

"Ahh,but thats where the story ends little Pippa no one ever saw the little boy again…."Jack replied stoically

“Bu-bu-but what about the Monster?!”She stuttered

"No one knows for sure….legend has it the monster still lurks about to this very day,hiding by unsuspecting people….."

"Waiting for the right moment…. TO STRIKE…"

“Anyways theres your story,so it's time to sleep”He said giving little Pippa a frosty kiss on her cheek

He went to the window and said “Goodnight”and flew off into the darkness…

Pippa however was far too scared to even think of sleeping,while she was no longer bothered by the cold presence of the frost sprite,her thoughts now dwelled on Jack story

“It couldn't be real!....could it?Pippa dared not to make a sound just in case any monsters were listening…

AU short story based on @rotg-halloween prompts.

My drawing energy has been at absolute zero for a lot of reasons, but I managed to draw at least 3 things for @rotg-halloween so, better than nothing. Might see if I can get more done before Nov. 20th but no promises.

1 - Hill. On moonless nights, a lone wanderer might find themselves near a grassy hill. There they might see a herd of horses. But nothing about these horses is natural. Best to be on your way, wanderer.

2 - Wormwood. Little bit of Blackice on this one. I like playing with symbolism, and an old name for Wormwood is "Crown for a king", and one of its uses was for a love spell

EDIT

3 - Train. AU time! In an RP with @sumi-sprite, we have Rufftoon's little boy as a Warlock, who has Pitch as his Patron. Pitch then later got cursed into becoming a cat, and decided to stick around as the lad's familiar.

In the early days Bunny would try and find any remaining rabbits that survived the destruction. But all that remained of his species was relics in a dystopian world.
