Lughnasadh or Lammas is a Gaelic festival marking the beginning of the harvest season. Historically it was widely observed throughout Ireland, Scotland & the Isle of Man. Traditionally it is held on 1 August, or about halfway between the summer solstice & autumn equinox. In recent centuries some of the celebrations have shifted to the Sunday nearest this date.

Lughnasadh is mentioned in early Irish literature & has pagan origins. The festival is named after Lugh the god of craftsmanship. It was also founded by the god Lugh as a funeral feast & athletic competition/funeral games in memory of his foster-mother Tailtiu. She was said to have died of exhaustion after clearing the plains of Ireland for agriculture.

• Tailtiu may have been an earth goddess who represented the dying vegetation that fed mankind.

• Another tale says that Lugh founded the festival in memory of his two wives, the sisters Nás & Bói. 

In the Middle Ages it involved great gatherings that included ceremonies, athletic contests (most notably the Tailteann Games which were extremely dangerous), horse racing, feasting, matchmaking & trading.

• With the coming of Christianity to the Celtic lands, the old festival of Lughnasadh took on Christian symbolism. Loaves of bread were baked from the first of the harvested grain & placed on the church altar on the first Sunday of August. The Christianized name for the feast of Lughnasadh is Lammas which means “loaf mass”.

Some believe this is the time where the God has weakened & is losing his strength as seen in the waning of the day's light. The Goddess is pregnant with the young God who will be born on Yule.

𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲, 𝐌𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐲!

Mabon marks the Fall Equinox! Typically observed on September 21 in the Northern Hemisphere, Mabon spans from September 21 to September 29. It is a time of balance, when day and night are equal in length, symbolizing harmony and equilibrium. Many cultures celebrate this period as a time of thanksgiving and reflection, honoring the bountiful harvest and the changing of the seasons. Traditional festivities might include feasts with seasonal foods like apples, pumpkins, and squash, along with activities such as gathering with loved ones, giving thanks, and preparing for the colder months ahead.

People often take this opportunity to connect with nature, perhaps by taking walks in the crisp autumn air, collecting colorful leaves, or setting up altars with symbols of the season. It's also a time for introspection, to consider what has been achieved over the past months and to set intentions for the future.

In modern times, Mabon encourages a moment of pause in our busy lives, reminding us to appreciate the abundance around us, to cultivate gratitude, and to seek balance in our own lives. Whether through quiet reflection, community gatherings, or simply enjoying a warm cup of cider while watching the leaves fall, Mabon offers a beautiful reminder of the cyclical nature of life and the ever-present opportunity for renewal and growth.

This list is for those witches who may still be in the closet. These activities can pass as “Autumnal Activities” to others! Here are some subtle yet enchanting ways to celebrate your craft:

Nature Walks: Collect leaves, acorns, and other natural items to use in your spells and crafts. It’s a great way to connect with nature and gather supplies without drawing attention.

Pumpkin Carving: Carve symbols or sigils into your pumpkins. Not only are they festive, but they can also serve as protection or intention-setting.

Candle Making: Create your own candles with herbs and essential oils. You can infuse them with specific intentions and use them for rituals later on.

Baking: Make seasonal treats like apple pie or pumpkin bread. Incorporate herbs and spices that have magical properties, such as cinnamon for prosperity or nutmeg for luck.

Herb Drying: Harvest and dry herbs for your witchy cabinet. Hang bundles of rosemary or lavender in your kitchen to dry; it looks like you're just readying them for cooking.

Gardening: Plant bulbs or prepare your garden for winter. This is a great way to work with the earth and practice your green-thumb magic.

Reading: Dive into books about folklore, mythology, or herbalism. It’s a cozy way to expand your knowledge and connect with ancient traditions. (Kindle has a phone app, if you cannot have physical books)

DIY Crafts: Make wreaths, potpourri, or sachets with found natural items. These can be used for decoration or as part of your magical practice.

Tea Time: Brew different herbal teas. Experiment with blends that have magical properties to set intentions or simply relax.

Moon Watching: Keep track of the moon phases and spend time outside during the full moon. This can be a meditative practice and a way to align with lunar energies.

By incorporating these activities into your routine, you can celebrate your witchy side while blending seamlessly into the autumnal festivities. Happy enchanting!

Apples are a common symbol of Mabon/Autumn Equinox for many pagans, wiccans, and witches. They can be incorporated into many different kinds of spell work for abundance, health, renewal, planting the seed of an idea/intention & knowledge. Apples can be used in magick by cutting them in half horizontally to reveal the star inside. Spell ingredients can then be sprinkled on top. Other ways of using apples is to dry then to decorate your altar or space with. You can gather apples to return to the Earth by burying them to give thanks for the Harvest. Cooking with apples is a perfect way to celebrate Mabon. Whether you make a warm apple pie, a spiced cider, or a savory apple stew, these dishes can be shared with loved ones to honor the season. The act of cooking itself becomes a ritual, infusing each dish with your intentions and gratitude.

Additionally, apples can be used in divination practices. By peeling an apple in a single strip and tossing the peel over your shoulder, the shape it forms when it lands can reveal the initial of a future partner or give you insight into a question you hold in your heart. Scrying with apple seeds is another method; by placing seeds on a hot surface and watching their movement, you can glean messages and guidance.

Incorporating apples into your daily routines during Mabon can also help you remain connected to the cycles of nature. Enjoying a fresh apple as a mindful snack, reflecting on its journey from blossom to fruit, can be a simple yet profound way to express appreciation for the Earth's bounty. Decorating your home with apple-themed items, such as candles, wreaths, or even apple-scented essential oils, can further enhance the seasonal ambiance.

Mabon, also known as the Autumn Equinox, is a significant festival in the Wheel of the Year, celebrated by many Pagans and Wiccans. The name "Mabon" itself is relatively modern, coined by Aidan Kelly in the 1970s, yet the festival's roots stretch back to ancient times. It marks the second of three harvest festivals, following Lammas and preceding Samhain. Occurring around September 21-23 in the Northern Hemisphere, Mabon represents a time of balance when day and night are of equal length. This event symbolizes the gradual descent into the darker half of the year, as the days grow shorter and the nights longer.

Historically, many cultures have celebrated the equinox with various customs and rituals. In ancient Greece, the festival of Eleusinia honored Demeter, the goddess of the harvest, and her daughter Persephone. The myth of Persephone's descent into the underworld and her eventual return is a powerful allegory for the changing seasons and the cycle of life and death. Similarly, in ancient Rome, the festival of Pomona celebrated the goddess of fruits and orchards, reflecting the importance of the harvest season. In the British Isles, the equinox was a time of thanksgiving and community gatherings, with people coming together to celebrate and share the bounty of the harvest.

Modern Mabon celebrations often involve giving thanks for the earth's abundance, reflecting on themes of balance and gratitude, and preparing for the coming winter months. Rituals may include offerings of fruits, vegetables, and grains, as well as meditative practices to honor the seasonal shift. Many contemporary Pagans and Wiccans also incorporate elements of ancient traditions, such as feasting, storytelling, and connecting with nature. Mabon serves as a reminder of the cyclical nature of life and the importance of living in harmony with the rhythms of the earth.

Chapter 26- Part 1

So, first thing's first- getting the team back in order, since we no longer need to focus on fighting Ghost-types exclusively. Like so-

In all honesty, I was thinking of putting Wulfrum on the team, I mean having a Steel-type would be pretty good for a lot of situations. The problem is I don't know who I would switch out. 

Riptide isn't going anywhere as the partner, Crater’s Fire/Ground-typing is super useful for a lot of things, and Kirin is my only answer to Fighting-types as well as a Ghost immunity. As for Prong, she only just evolved and is a good answer to Flying- and Psychic-types, what with STAB and all…not to mention how deadly she can be. Now, you may think I should switch out Glare, I mean Bloom is also a Poison-type so he would fill a similar niche, yes? No, actually- Bloom's only Poison-type move move right now is Toxic, which is a status move, whereas Glare has Acid Spray as well as a host of utility stuff- Intimidate, Glare™, Screech. However, Bloom fills several roles of his own as a Grass-type- Rock-types that Riptide can't deal with, Water-types that Prong can't deal with, etc.

In other words, at the moment, I think I've struck a decent balance with my current team. If I swap one of them out with Wulfrum, I'll gain some advantages, but I'll lose out on other advantages that I'm not sure I want to lose out on right now. So, Wulfrum remains in the PC for right now.

Additionally, I swapped Bloom’s Rose Incense with the Big Root to improve survivability when he uses Giga Drain (besides, with his stats and Growth, the damage output itself isn't really a concern). As for Prong, I gave her an Insect Plate- though it's not my first idea for an item to give her, there are others I'd prefer, but I don't have any of those other items just yet, so an extra Bug damage boost it is, at least for right now.

Now then! Time to rush back to Peridot Ward and the Underground Railnet with all the panic and horror befitting someone who just watched a bunch of kids get kidnapped by terrorists!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

Oh hey Cain, that was quick, I wasn't expecting to see you until Peridot Ward proper.

Yes indeed, and are we…gonna tell Cain how we knew? Or is he just gonna have to come to his own conclusions?

“Not alone”? That's an interesting way of wording that, but I don't see what he thinks the police are gonna do about it.

Oh!! Amaria!! She’s alive (for now, if those power plant screens were any indication), she survived Rhodochrine too, great!

Hm, interesting- what's she looking up on Google over there?

That's what she threw to him? I thought it was her pendant or something.

A little data chip thing, huh…? Hey, wait- was it the data chip Corey said he hid on the Ruby Ring? But Heather had the ring, and she was totally out of it, so how did Anna get a hold of it?

MAGICIAN JUMPSCARE?? WHAT-

That's…oh, hold on a second, I think I know what's going on here. Sirius said in the last chapter that something happened to Ace after Rhodochrine, right? They must've gotten fired after losing the last PULSE Tangrowth, and they didn't take that too well, so…turncoat time! Maybe. Seems like Team Meteor would do more than just firing someone, but…who knows.

Yeah, hold on, I'm with Cain- what? It wasn't because of what happened to the PULSE? What's this all about now? I'm listening, throw that tea at me, I can handle it-

title: malleus maleficarum

pairing: malleus/me. okay no its malleus/reader unless you don’t relate to the way i love him

genre: poetry of the excessively rhyming variety

word count: 1.5k 😭

here we are… for malleus’ birthday, i wrote him a love letter (my take on malleyuu)

full text under the cut!

Born of the snow

He hides from his own shadow

He’d never wanted to look from above

In his heart he knows he’s below

How he’d wished for time to slow down

And for his wrath not to grow

For all to fear his crown

Look, how they overlook his sorrow

Look, how the fire overflows

Look, how the fireflies glow

In this winter forest a blessing bestowed

Wednesday, child of woe

Star, yearning leisure

Strength, burning pressure

To him I was a doe

King of thorns

Brings from the ashes his scorn

Violin harmonies from the hollow morn

Mourn treasures long gone

Memories ingrained in the stone of his throne

Only when he’s angry does he find himself reborn

Prince of arrogance

Wishes he wasn’t just his inheritance

What a fool; cursed by his precedence

He’s to rule; damned by his puissance

Only in romance does he find resonance

And in his dreams of decadence

He won’t be a means of defence

I’ve always wanted to dance with malevolence

Tyrant of destruction, child of misfortune

As everlasting as he is, so is his isolation

And for how much he hates corruption

He is unsurprisingly weak to seduction

Who could blame him for giving in to temptation?

Poor, fragile soul; his confused feelings are an eruption

Just waiting to happen

Ruler of the abyss

Emerges from the darkness

Walks weary in the pit of his loneliness

Tramples all over white amaryllis

Nonetheless he guides the faithless

Nourishes his hubris

And represses the viridescent bitterness

And me? I was shameless

To him I was a temptress

He’d never felt the need to possess

Whispered in my ear, ‘You’re an enchantress’

But, my love, don’t you know how much I obsess

Over the tenderness of your caress?

Poured some green tea over vanilla ice cream

That’s what he tasted like in my dream

Dressed myself in velvet

By his warmness I’m enveloped

Close to my heart, I held a green garnet

He’s loveliness incarnate

Young love in the rose garden

And blunt kisses in a forgotten heaven

He’s bittersweet

And I can taste on his tongue sweet defeat

‘Without you, I’m lost,’

He said, covering the flowers in frost

‘By your charm I’ve been ensorcelled,’

He whispered in the light of the chandelle

As he placed in my hair an immortelle

‘Don’t you ever leave me

I’ll set fields ablaze for you

I’ll kneel before you

I’ll chase you down the prairie’

Held me like I was going anywhere

As if I wasn’t meant to pull his hair

And tell him, ‘My sweet, I wouldn’t dare

Aren’t you aware

That without you, I despair?

I’ll tear down everything I own

Just to keep our affair sound

So care for me, don’t leave me alone’

And I felt his stare on me

A glare of mantis green

Oh, I’ve no wish to fight

Come, devour me alive

And in this tragic, starless night

Perhaps he’ll know of my plight

Because he set my soul alight

With deep green flames too bright

Spilled his passion over me with a might

That could only translate into delight

My calls to him like a prayer trite

And in the magic, godless blight,

Still the lust ignites

His long hair slips between my fingers

And I know that, for this, I’m a sinner

But he’s so much, so much bigger

The velvety darkness vibration lingers

In his hold my soul shivers

And my body can’t find slumber

So from the corner of my eye I find his figure

Tall as a tower

What a gorgeous man I’ve got

Somehow the night illuminates him

And I, unmoving

Can only stare back as eyes of peridot

Work their entrancing,

Ravishing

Charm

Eyes of adamantine green

Make me think of dreams obscene

The sheen in them took me out of this spleen

But I got lost all over again in his ravine

In the ruins he told me I’m his queen

His bed is sanctuary palatine

Where our essences entwine

He fed me the sour fruits of grapevine

He said I was sweet as wine

My dear, it’s all moonshine

I can see my face in the saturnine

Look of your eye

Come, I’ll swallow your pride

Piercing lightning in his gaze

Just that puts me in my place

And my thoughts race

To rêveries of strong arms’ embrace

And fingers enlaced

Where I’m worthy of his grace

He’d indulge me and my desire

Because the moon knows I’d suck a man dry

Of all his love and energy

He’s greedy as I am needy

No one’s ever handled me so gently

And talked to me so sweetly

So you see, I’m yours completely

Stab me with that spindle

And let me do to you the unspeakable

Strong hands carefully holding his belongings

For fear of them breaking

Were he a little bit more self-aware

He’d become afraid of himself

But I love when he shows off his strength

Crack it good, darling

Won’t you open this jar for me?

You don’t have to take all these bags in one go

Say, can you pick up this box?

Move the shelf? A bit more to the left?

Get my bike upstairs?

Carry me in your arms?

Drunk on him, I feel insane

Moonstruck, unveil the curtain

Loving him, sealed my fate remains

Worshipping him, a deal is made again

Treasure, cherish, contain this ethereal

Loss of sense

Threw up the depths of hell

And I still feel so, so unwell

He has me under a spell

And I shan’t be saved by the holy bell

And I don’t want to be freed

I know that he loves me

For his glory, I’ll bleed

I know that he needs me

I don’t care where this spinning wheel will lead

I know that he wants me

The lines of his body are my creed

On my knees, it is he to whom I plead

For him I’ll offer myself as sacrifice

For him I’ll go through supplice

For him it feels like paradise

My beloved won’t ever pay the price

For his vice

And if you told me my man was a beast

I wouldn’t be disappointed in the least

Just wait until his fury is unleashed

Those who preached will see themselves pierced

Those who resist, dismissed

For he is fierce

And the moon herself shall be eclipsed

So me, blissed-out hedonist

In the midst of his firestorm

I admire the back that raven wings adorn

I’ve never seen misery look so majestic

And agony seem so poetic

He’s calamity of a mystique

So prophetic

Cathartic

A catastrophe almost narcissistic,

The despair in his voice melodic

And he stands tall despite it all

I’ve never seen repulsion look so regal

And revulsion seem so graceful

Come here, my prince, it’s okay

No one knew it would end that way

We’ll live to see another day

And even as judgement is underway

I’ll cherish you in our eden of decay

Don’t feel bad; now no one will dare betray

The one they ought to obey

Those who are weak of mind fear beauty

They deem it evil

It’s not your fault, honey

You like my naïveté, you say

Well, I like your voracité

In an eternal January he let go of his cage

And history turns the page

In an eternal tyranny commences a new age

Someday our love will be tale of old

All over the land our love will be told

But for now, let us brave the cold

Steal the sun and absorb the blue skies

Unveil the lies they foretold

And from snowy rose petals, rise

See, fate has set the stage for us

So come, Malleus

Don’t be afraid, Malleus

Let me put you hair in a braid

Let me dip you in honey

Let me prove how much I love you

I’ll tell you in french, too

Si tu savais à quel point coule la cyprine

Mets ta main sur ma poitrine

Laisse moi partager mes envies

Laisse moi voler tes tentations enfouies

Dans les profondeurs de ton âme assombrie

Jusqu’aux lueurs de l’aurore

Quand les cieux seront amétrine;

Le feu se fond à la nuit

L’amour est enivrant quand tu es en moi

N’aie pas peur; donne-moi ton émoi

Savoure mes caprices assouvies

Ton ardeur ne fait qu’éveiller ma foi

Dans ta chevelure de soie obscure je me noie

N’aie pas peur; partage ma joie

La chaleur de ton corps oublie la loi

Laisse-toi te perdre en moi

Je sais, tu tuerais pour moi

Quelle torture qu’est ta voix

Si douce et si intense

Me réduit au silence

Tu es ma providence

Trouve ton bonheur dans mon impuissance

Et dans mon déshonneur ta douce sentence

Dans le ciel ton éclair de la délivrance

Verse ses étincelles dans ma chair

I said come here, Malleus

Decus marmoreus

Venus melleus

Dominatus malus

You got me speaking fucking broken latin

Today, December’s full Moon is most commonly known as the Cold Moon—a Mohawk name that conveys the frigid conditions of this time of year, when cold weather truly begins to grip us.

This full Moon has also been called the Long Night Moon (Mohican), as it rises during the “longest” nights of the year, near the December winter solstice. This name is doubly fitting because December’s full Moon shines above the horizon for a more extended period than most full Moons.

In Europe, ancient pagans called the December full Moon the “Moon Before Yule,” in honor of the Yuletide festival celebrating the return of the sun heralded by winter solstice.

“Yule” comes from Old English geol, which shares a history with the equivalent word from Old Norse, jól. Both these words referred to a midwinter festival centered around the winter solstice, which traditionally marked the halfway point of the winter season. After the solstice—the shortest day of the year—the days again begin to grow longer, so it’s thought that Yule was a celebration of the re-appearance of the Sun &the fertile land’s rebirth. 

The celebration of Yule is one of the oldest winter celebrations in the world. Ancient people were hunters & spent most of their time outdoors. The seasons & weather played a significant part in their lives. The customs and traditions associated with it vary widely.

Scholars have connected the original celebrations of Yule to the Wild Hunt, the god Odin, and the heathen Anglo-Saxon Mōdraniht ("Mothers' Night")

Some believe it marks the rebirth of the Sun (the God) from the Earth (the Goddess) & the cold days of winter will soon begin to wane. The Goddess is seen in her virgin Maiden aspect

In towns and cities throughout Sweden during the Christmas season, large goats are constructed out of straw. It is thought that the tradition originated in ancient times, perhaps as a tribute to the god Thor, who was said to ride in a chariot pulled by goats. In Sweden the goat came to be associated with the Christmas celebration, and the Yule goat is now considered by many to be a companion or counterpart to Santa Claus.

Related festivals:

Christmas- An annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ as the son of God, primarily observed on December 25th

Hanukkah- A Jewish festival commemorating the recovery of Jerusalem & subsequent rededication of the Second Temple at the beginning of the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire in the 2nd century BCE.

Hanukkah is observed for eight nights & days, starting on the 25th day of Kislev according to the Hebrew calendar, which may occur at any time from late November to late December in the Gregorian calendar. The festival is observed by lighting the candles of a candelabrum with nine branches, commonly called a menorah or hanukkiah. 

Kwanzaa- An annual celebration of African-American culture from December 26 to January 1st, culminating in a communal feast called Karamu, usually on the sixth day. It was created by activist Maulana Karenga, based on African harvest festival traditions from various parts of West & Southeast Africa. Kwanzaa was first celebrated in 1966. 

A Kwanzaa ceremony may include drumming and musical selections, libations, a reading of the African Pledge & the Principles of Blackness, reflection on the Pan-African colors, a discussion of the African principle of the day or a chapter in African history, a candle-lighting ritual, artistic performance & finally, a feast of faith (Karamu Ya Imani).

Saturnalia-

is an ancient Roman festival and holiday in honour of the god Saturn, held on 17 December of the Julian calendar & later expanded with festivities through to 23 December. The holiday was celebrated with a sacrifice at the Temple of Saturn, in the Roman Forum & a public banquet, followed by private gift-giving, continual partying & a carnival atmosphere that overturned Roman social norms: gambling was permitted & masters provided table service for their slaves as it was seen as a time of liberty for both slaves and freedmen alike.

 A common custom was the election of a "King of the Saturnalia", who gave orders to people, which were followed & presided over the merrymaking. The gifts exchanged were usually gag gifts or small figurines made of wax or pottery known as sigillaria. The poet Catullus called it "the best of days".

Other celebrations:

Feast of Epona-

Eponalia is the feast day of Gaulish Goddess Epona, the Divine Mare & in the time of the Roman Empire it was celebrated on December 18th.

Epona is known to be one of a very few Gaulish deities whose names were spread to the rest of the Roman Empire. This seems to have happened because Roman cavalry units stationed in Gaul followed Her & adopted her as their Patroness. This may have started because many of the cavalry troops were conscripted from Gaul as they were superb horsemen. From Gaul the Romans took Epona with them including to Rome where She was given her own feast day on the 18 December. They worshipped her as Epona Augusta or Epona Regina & invoked her on behalf of the Emperor. She even had a shrine in the barracks of the Imperial Bodyguard.

Hunting of the Wren-

A traditional custom carried out on the Isle of Man on the 26 December, St. Stephen's Day. It consists of groups of people going around villages and towns singing and dancing a traditional song and dance around a decorated wren pole.

The earliest and most common folklore story accounting for the origin of hunt the wren tells of a fairy/enchantress/witch whose beauty lures the men of the Isle of Man to harm, for which she is chased and is changed into the form of a wren. It is therefore in punishment for her actions that the wren is hunted on St. Stephen's Day

Sapphire catches the attention of the Vampire King. While family stays strong for her, friends turn their backs on her. And what will become of the world when Sapphire's true identity is brought to light?

This was inspired by Shades365’s 'Sonic's Alpha' on Wattpad. You can find this story on Wattpad and all their other stories. I love this story and I thought of a version I really want to do. That story was the structure of this story and yes I have their permission.

In this story, you will meet many of my OCs but many of these characters are not mine, the creators of Sonic the Hedgehog own them. The person who will be taking Sonic’s role is a Butterfly/Hedgehog hybrid named Sapphire. Sapphire is the former princess of the Mini Worlds. She is the oldest daughter of Vanessa the Butterfly, the creator of zones. Because of this Sapphire can use any zone’s special power source, examples: chaos emeralds, sol emeralds, etc. When she was 5 her home was blown up and she, her sisters, and the other royal children were sent to the main zone; the zone where this story takes place.

I do have a second book which is called Gem Alphas Character Book.

Each page of this book has a list of the characters in each chapter, plus a description of their look, species, and tiles or relative to another. There are also pictures of outfits from each chapter too.

The first page is of who's replacing who from Shades365’s 'Sonic's Alpha' while the second page is pictures of some of the characters.

All of these pictures I found on Pinterest but I will be giving credit to the creator and if the creator does not like that I have used their pictures or OCs please say something in the comments and I will take the link down.

I will update it as a go and I will make sure to leave a note to let you know when I have updated it.

Is still on going but have taken a break so far, don't know when I will be back

Chapter 5 — Rose Blood.

"Oh, darn…" Piep sighs, staring down at a potted yet wilting Cecilia with knitted brows and a tight frown, "My Cecilia is wilting…" She brushes the rough pads of her fingers across the crinkling petals.

Hauteclaire's eyes snap in her direction from across the head of the dining table. Saying nothing, she takes another sip of her morning Valberry tea. Piep glances over at her long-time friend, a scowl growing on her pale features.

"Nothing to say, huh? With your alchemical knowledge, could you—"

"No." Hauteclaire quickly interjects without hesitation.

"Hmph…" Piep scoffs, returning her gaze to the once pure white flower. Now, it's beginning to dry, brown, and curl into itself. "Fine, then, have it your way. Like always." She rolls her peridot green eyes. "I'm going to the shop… Feel free to join whenever." She offers despite the tension.

"Alright." The opposing woman nods to her, watching her with tired eyes as she moves to the backdoor that leads to her flower shop. (I can't interfere… Life must run its natural course…) She glances at the flower right as one of the petals floats down to the dirt of the pot. She sighs.

—

Later that day—in the flower shop—Hauteclaire helps out Piep with her floral duties. This mostly consists of catering to any customers and providing opinions on arrangements.

It's a slow day today, too—perhaps it's due to the early morning time, or Mondstadter's getting lazier than ever…

Unlike Piep, Hauteclaire doesn't mind the languid foot traffic today. Piep is an easily bothered woman, contrary to many Mondstadters' easy-going way of life. Even within the pleasure of her biggest passion—flower arranging—she's never too satisfied with anything. To the average person, she appears stingy and high-strung. To Hauteclaire and Eduard, she's all too insecure for her own good.

Hauteclaire has grown used to her behavior by now, though. She now knows how to maneuver through the torrential waters of Piep's virulent emotions. The little spat from earlier about her most treasured Cecilia is hardly anything unusual for her. She's delicate as the flowers she so loves, that's all.

And it hurts Hauteclaire every time she sees her former apprentice in Piep…

As she moves to rest her arms on the shop's center table, one hand props up to hold her heavy head. The other hand's fingers tap dance back and forth along the semi-worn wood; pale gold eyes falling halfway shut.

Then, there's a sudden jolt of overwhelming tension in her body—her heartstrings tying into a complicated knot. That's the second she begins pining to not think for a while all over again.

As her mind floods with memories of her old apprentice, a stark emptiness in the pit of her stomach follows close behind. She grimaces slightly, features furrowing in the tiniest manner.

Wishing is painful, but desiring is even more so, and lusting is the final stage before destruction. She's seen it time and time again—that happens when you live in the Abyss for so long. The Abyss Order is the very definition of destructive lust.

The only person she could think of that barely fits the bill of "average Abyss Order looney" is her former apprentice, a cowardly woman who wields no passion nor drive—

"Ulfhild…"

She gulps down a thick knot of pure tension that persists in restricting her breathing. Her voice not even above a whisper, indeed it was too soft for Piep to hear.

"Hey! Look alive, Claire!" Piep's familiar voice cuts in to tear her out of the deep sea of murky thoughts.

Hauteclaire's eyes widen for a brief moment before settling comfortably once more. Adjusting her posture, she straightens her back and eases the tightness in her shoulders. With a quick flick of her gaze, she watches Piep welcome in a woman garbed in shades of cobalt blues and woody browns.

"How may we help you today, Lady Aurelie?" Piep inquires with an amicable smile.

The blonde florist leads the navy blue-haired lady to the front of the nearby center table, where Hauteclaire sits at. At least, she was sitting there until Piep flashed her a daring glare from the corner of her tea-green eyes. That's more than enough for the old family friend to stand at attention.

This new customer, Aurelie, glances around the homely and quaint flower shop. The center table holds a variety of work-in-progress bouquets, shop files, and a cup of tea. Piep doesn't fail to tear Aurelie away from her thoughts, though.

"Feel free to look around! If you have any questions, you can ask either of us." The florist nods. "We even have some new shipments, if you'd like to know more."

"U-Uh… Yes, please?" Aurelie sputters out, and Piep figures the tension of arriving in a new country must be getting to her.

Hauteclaire on the other hand, (Why did she phrase that like a question…?) She ponders with furrowing brows. (Even her voice… It sounds rather familiar—)

Piep, snapping her out of her thoughts, elbows Hauteclaire in the arm, "Can you go fetch us some of those new Sumeru flowers we got the other day in the back room?"

The family friend, with a low voice, whispers to Piep, "Can you do it? I'd like to ask her some questions…"

"What? No—" When their eyes meet, Piep sees that firm determination in her long-time friend's pale golden eyes. "Okay… Fine." She turns to Aurelie once more, "Would you like something from Fontaine or Sumeru?"

"Uhm…" Aurelie ponders aloud, her hand rising to her chin as her tired eyes glance elsewhere, "Liyue… Please?" She's avoided eye contact this whole time, hasn't she? That's what Hauteclaire notices.

"Oh, sure! We got some new Glaze Lilies very recently, I'm sure you'll love them." Piep nods with faux excitement before rushing to the backroom of the little shop.

"So, Aurelie…" Hauteclaire approaches her with silent and slow steps as if approaching a frightened deer. "Ever been to Mondstadt before?" She crosses her arms beneath her bosom, her exhausted eyes giving the smaller woman the sense that maybe she's a harmless person.

"Uhm…? A couple of times?" Aurelie resists jumping back at the sudden approach, her shoulders and back visibly tensing. "I don't really remember…?"

(That's it. She sounds exactly like her.) Hauteclaire comes to a silent conclusion, "Well, I offer you a warm welcome to the country of freedom." She replies with subtle amicability, (If I'm right, she's going to be disgusted by that statement.)

Then, lo and behold, Aurelie's face does warp with mild disgust and hatred. Her dark cobalt blue eyebrows furrow down and the corner of her lip rises upward.

"Uhm… Thanks?" The mystery woman attempts to accept the compliment at a shallow level, hoping it's enough to get Hauteclaire off her back.

Before another question can get thrown onto her shoulders, Piep returns with a handful of Glaze Lilies. She plants them on the center table, and it appears that she brought some Silk Flowers as well.

"Sorry for the delay, I was figuring out what would make a good composition with such unique flowers," Piep assures with a nod, staring down at the flora before her.

"Add some white and dried branches…" Hauteclaire muses her advice as she returns to the blonde's side.

"Baby's Breath should do. It goes nicely with all compositions, in my opinion. Is that alright, Lady Aurelie?" The florist glances at her customer, who is still avoiding eye contact.

"Sure?" Aurelie relaxes, her voice growing laden from interaction.

"…Of course. Baby's Breath it is." Her tea-green eyes and delicate yet scarred hands immediately get to work.

"Uhm… By the way… Please send them to Springvale…? I'll be there with my…lover?" Aurelie implores.

"No problem. Now, for pricing—"

A hefty bag of Mora drops onto the table.

"That's…quite a lot." Piep blinks, eyes going wide.

"Please, take it all…" The customer presses, "I'll see you there…!" She then storms out of the shop, nearly tripping on her way out.

"Hey, wait—!" Piep reaches out to her, yet fails to catch her in time, "That was…strange."

"We should reject this request—" Hauteclaire begins, swiftly cut off by the grumpy mother.

"No! She already paid us, and it's way too much! Not that I'm necessarily complaining, but…" She huffs, folding her arms.

"Are you or are you not complaining, then?" She retorts, then shakes her head and resumes the more important topic. "Anyway—we should not take this request—"

"Shut up!" Piep yells, "I'm sick of you! I'll let you come with me, but you better keep your mouth shut the whole way there!" She growls, her hand raising to smack Hauteclaire, yet she resists the temptation to throw her out of her life in the heat of the moment. "…I'll get you when I'm ready. Get out."

"…Fine." Hauteclaire sighs, exiting the shop without another word.

—

Not even an hour later, the two women head out to Springvale—the tension and silence between them are thick as layered wool. Not a single word spoken to them on the way to the small village nearby, leaving both women to their own thoughts. Only the crumpling of dirt from footsteps and soft whispers of autumn wind accompany their worn hearts.

"Piep, I—" Hauteclaire suddenly speaks up, her head spinning toward her friend.

"S-Surrender now!" A familiar stuttery voice from behind the pair calls out, "I-I don't want to hurt either of you—"

"Ulfhild."

Hauteclaire hisses between locked teeth, spinning on her heel to face the feminine Abyss Herald. Her gloved hands clench into tight fists at her side, preparing herself for the storm ahead.

Boring holes into the cowardly beast's soulless eyes, she yells, "Get out of here, Ulfhild. I have no time for you." She scoffs, glancing at Piep and whispering, "Stay close to me."

"Who is that?" Piep murmurs back.

"…My former apprentice."

"I…I trust you." The blonde replies, eyes weary and brows knitted as they exchange glances.

"…Thank you." Hauteclaire smiles down at her.

Ulfhild brushes her long black and blue locks behind her shoulder, "I-I see you won't go down without a proper fight, then…" Horizontally slicing the air with her hand, she calls out, "Yrsa, Miuki! Deal with them! Bring Hauteclaire back no matter what it takes—"

She screams as an arrow made of Cryo zips right past her, snipping strands of raven hair off her head.

"Back down, Ulfhild, you stand no chance." Hauteclaire threatens darkly, eyes narrowing into dangerous slits.

"Y-YRSA!" Ulfhild screams again, head whipping around in different directions.

And right as a woman charges in from behind with a drawn sword, Hauteclaire slips her arm around Piep's waist and spins both of them out of the way. Glancing down at the blade of silver-blue steel, Hauteclaire grimaces—teeth gritting.

While the sword is still physically familiar, it crackles with foreign elemental energy. Piep gulps, the potency of the element emanating from the blade unnerves her—to the point of gut-wrenching nausea.

"Stay with me, Piep. We'll get out of this." Hauteclaire reassures with a gentle squeeze around the side of the blonde's waist.

"Please, Claire… Please, save me—"

Then, a bone-chilling bubble of water splashes both of them from behind. Piep pivots her head to glance at whatever it was—only to find a Hydro Abyss Mage as the culprit. Whipping her head away, she clings to Hauteclaire with eyes screwed shut—

"Lord Barbatos, please—" Piep clasps her hands together in prayer, lips trembling with every utterance.

"Your so-called Lord can't help you now…nor will he ever." Yrsa scoffs, "If it is true freedom, he will leave your fate in its hands."

She flips the sword up into the air and as it spins back down, she catches it by its hilt and strikes it deep into the earth. Then, a crack of unfiltered Electro energy sprouts from the crust and zips toward its targets.

Hauteclaire is swift with her arms, slipping Piep into her embrace before darting out of harm's way. Yet, her desperation cannot outrun lightning.

The lightning bolts its way up Hauteclaire's left leg like a loose string and paralyzes her. That same thunderstroke takes a hold of Piep, only to leave behind another paralyzed woman in its wake. Although, it leaves the blonde much more fried than her assumed warrior—rendering her limp in the other's hold.

Hauteclaire, struggling to stand, collapses to her burning knees. As her eyes fall heavy, she takes one last leer at Ulfhild. Then, she uses the last of her strength to crumple on top of Piep—as if protecting her with the numb body she can no longer control.

—

Could all of that have been a bad dream? That's the first thing Hauteclaire asks herself when she awakens—the night already deep and the candle on her bedside table dim. As she comes to realize her situation, she jolts up into an upright position before scrambling out of bed.

"Piep!" She begs the second before she hits the floor with a loud thud. "Piep…" She sobs dryly, unable to control her body that overflows with numbness and stillness once more.

"Eir…" A deep, grave voice calls out from the darkness—despite its sudden call, the voice is all too familiar to the limp lady.

And then heavy footsteps follow, approaching her where she lay. While unable to make out the shadowy figure, she can still tell who it is. The figure grabs her arms, lifting her up before carrying her back to her bed.

When his face becomes clear from the dim candlelight, Hauteclaire gasps and reaches out to him,

"Don't leave me… Not again…" She whimpers, eyes heavy with exhaustion. And as she barely manages to clasp her hand around his cloak, she releases a longing sigh.

"I have to, Eir. You know this." His large, gloved hand grabs her own, ripping it away from his clothes. Yet he lingers, holding her with an almost vice-like grip. "Do you remember my name?"

And all she can do is echo the man’s long-lost name.
