Mountain Ghosts

Writer's Note: Back at it again! This time we're having some tasty hurt and comfort while exploring a little more about Valkory's past!

!!Warnings!! First time writing Nightmare/Nighterrors, brief mention of Gore, Canon Death, grammar mistakes aaand a long read lolz.

The wind blew against her back and howled in her ears. Today is just a dreadful day, gray skies and a blizzard is quickly forming. Life on the Howling Peaks were never easy what with seemingly eternal winter, the wind constantly blowing against you, and difficult climbs. That's just a few things about this place!

However Valkory wouldn't change it for the world. This was home. Squinting through the harsh snow drift, Valkory's one good eye was searching... Searching... Ah! There! The white wolf found what she was looking for, up above her was a figure with a green cameo cape.

Mister Creeps.

Smiling and blinking through the snow, Valkory hurried up her pace, only stopping to rub her right eye. Her sight on that side seemed blurry... Humming, the young hero hummed in thought. She idly wondered what they were doing or going . She couldn't remember the whats nor whys they were climbing. How long were they climbing? Why doesn't she remember their goal? And why does her heart skip a beat every time she glances at Mr. Creeps. Why was there an ache in her chest?

Suddenly her mentor and brother figure disappeared from view, probably climbed into a cave. With a few more steps, a few more heaves, Valkory hurled herself into the cave. That's right they were heading home! The blizzard prevented them from going fishing. Likely for them they had plenty of food in storage. Which... they were in. Hm, did she pass through the living room?

She remember this place, filled to the brim with treasures and resources. Both ingots and blocks of many materials were scattered everywhere. In and on chests, the room glittered against them all. She knew there were food, armor, and tools neatly sorted in every chest. Creeps always loved mining, he said it was relaxing and that the mountains are generous in resources, you just have to look for them in the right places.

Why were they here again? She's forgetting something... Something important....

Her train of thought, however, broke when the older hero turned and his blue eyes settled down at her. Soft, bright, relaxed, and full of love, Valkory couldn't help herself. Giggling she ran up to Creeps and tried to give him a bear hug.

"Oof!"

Valkory buried her face into the tower parts of his chest, arms wrapped tightly around his torso. One day she'll grow up to give him a proper hug.

"Haha! Happy to be home Lil'Pup?" Creeps asked, his smooth voice tickling Valkory's ears. She loved it when he called her that. Just as he gets happy every time she calls him by his nickname. He returned the hug then quickly picked the youngster up and giving her a little spin. She laughed loudly, hanging onto him. Valkory missed this so much... She wished this moment can last forever, to be safe in his warm arms.

Wha... Why does she miss this? They do spinning hugs all the time! All the time... all... the...

Stopping Creeps set down Valkory and looked her in the eyes, his suddenly hard and fearful. He placed one hand on her cheek and the other into his pocket.

"Valkory." He said, his tone stern and wavering. Valkory suddenly shivered, she knew this tone. The wind blew into the storage room when it shouldn't be possible. They were deep in the mountain! Behind him two shadows slowly crawled into the room, a pair of hero- No- Not heroes... They were human but they are far from heroes.

"Listen to me VERY carefully."

Valkory tried to speak, to warn Creeps but suddenly found out she couldn't. Her throat tighten to the point of choking. Gasping, Valkory reached out for Mr Creeps. She gripped his shirt like a life line, heart beating against her ribs, and quietly begged him for comfort that never came. She glanced behind him and the approaching strangers.

"I need you to go to the Nether portal and follow the cobble stone road."

Purple light flooded the room, Valkory dared glance back behind her to see a large Nether Portal frame. It pulsed with magic, swirling invitingly. No... Stand up, Creeps backed away from Valkory with remorseful eyes. Pulling out a flint and steel, Creeps clicked a few times. No...! Please No! The two figures were close now, she can see their smile that held no kindness. Their eyes were wide and filled with greed. Both of them wanted this room, their stuff, so badly.

"Whatever you do..."

So so badly...

Hands formed from the purple magic, scuttling towards Valkory as she turned around against her will. They crawled up her body, grabbing randomly in a death grip. One clawed at her out one eye, blinding it. Pain shot through her head. Her mouth is open wide yet nothing came out. Thrashing madly Valkory tried to break. NO! NONONO!!

Bad enough to Kill for it.

Click Click... Hiiiissssss...

"Don't. Look. Back."

But she did.

Valkory turned her head, fighting against the hands that held her head and screamed silently out. Creeps sorrowful eyes rested on hers as the tnt that surrounded him flicked with light. Both figures charged towards him, smiling that took over their whole faces. Large board swords rose up, up, up into the air.

"Jeremiah!!"

CRUNCH her whole world view turned crimson. He split into two,

...!

BANG an explosion deafened her. Her home collapsing around her.

...ry!

Sssshhhh-woop purple consumed her. Dragged away from the place she knew.

He's gone. Forever far away from her arms.

...Ory!!

She was falling. Down down into heat and ash. Looking down, Valkory could only watch as a hoard of Wither Skeletons waited down below. All of them held their swords to their chest, points up, and waiting.

..Kory!!

She's going to land on those swords. She's going to wither away into ash. Into Nothingness.

Nothing... Just like what she has done to save her brother. She's nothing...

She's...

"Valkory!!"

Gasping the human bolted up from a tangled mess of bed sheet. Breathing hurriedly she looked wildly around her. Where is she?! Where's Creeps?! She needed to safe him!

"Val! It's ok! Look at me, Arylo!"

Looking up from the ground, Valkory stared into the aged face of Arylo. He was standing over her, one hand firm on his cane while the other trembled out for her. He quickly hobbled over to her bed, the closest furniture in the room and patted his lap.

"Oh my child come here." He said in a soft kind voice. Numbly, Valkory crawled over to the elder, just like she did so many years ago. She rested her head on his lap and griped his sleeping robs tightly. The hero was scared that if she let go, he'll disappear too. She felt a hand run through her hair, smoothing out any tangles and stress. She felt him hum lightly, a lullaby he sang only to her.

Her one good eye saw a flicker of light and locked onto the movement. Illuminated by a candle was the gray face of her friend. Archie stood in the door his face held deep worry. Slowly approaching he sat down the candle on end table then joined her on the ground.

"Sshh, it's ok, just a dream." He said, his voice soft and gentle. He placed a hand on one of hers. The illager was so sure things will be ok yet he was so wrong. Mister Creeps is gone, far far away from her. Betrayed by so called friends for shiny things.

A wave of emotion hit Valkory and fresh tears flowed out from her. She shook her head before grabbing Archie's hand. She buried her face into Arylo's robes and cried, the only thing she could do right now.

Archie's sagged, dread filling him. He said the wrong thing... Looking up from his once strong friend and at the elder. Arylo simply sighed and mouth;

'Later.'

Arylo continued to sing the song Valkory taught her so long ago. The same one Creeps sang to her.

"Far over the misty mountains cold..."

Sooooo, your pillager ocs are a rebellious and wild bunch eh? Whaaat if the see, oh idk, an illager allied with a hero? Maybe one who got kicked out their tribeand is now running around with a hero doing hero stuff? ;3

Firstly, they would choke on their beer and then they'd be proud of Archie for defying an Evoker.

As for seeing him with a Hero they'd be disgusted but won't show it by fear of being slashed by the biggest hammer they've ever seen.

But I imagine their first encounter being a fail cause by how much they can be drunk sometimes.

Design for Zelda Botw/Totk Hardenshipping au me and @derpyfangirl were talking about

They’re obviously a couple, they go to cute dates together and they fight side by side to protect each other and their domains

AND

Maxie isn’t a mad evil king of demons.

I had this idea in mind for months and finally I drew it lol

[silverequation]

Lara-Su/Jani-Ca from Archie is SO similar to Silver. she’s a time traveler that came to stop somebody and change her ruined future like Silver (they both had the wrong guy)

She wears blue toed boots like Silver

she has telekinesis from her hands like Silver (that also flip flops from green to blue/cyan)

they both have foliage hair, Lara’s is like a flower and Silver’s is a maple leaf, they both awkwardly stick out from their foreheads and don’t cover the top of their heads (i will never get over that for either of them)

they both have ties to Chaos powers, used Chaos Control against Shadow and sealed away their final bosses away with a mystic chant

they both came from a future with a dark god, dark skies and endlessly respawning enemies

and Lara/Jani was even originally 14 years old like Silver

Lara-Su/Jani-Ca did most of this in 2002-3. four years before Silver

thinking about the unbridled chaos of the polycule trying to play scrabble

archie’s attitude of ‘yeah that’s a word. what does it mean? dunno. whatever i want. you can’t prove it’s not a word. oh you want to check the dictionary? we don’t have one cos we’re pirates’

zheng having the list of permitted two letter words memorised and calling everyone out on their bullshit except olu who gets a pass for being cute (which subsequently leads to very reasonable allegations of unfairness)

jim getting all the triple word scores and wasting every single one on low scoring words (‘jim i can see your tiles. you could’ve gone for KLAXONS and scored hundreds. ASS is nine points’ ‘yeah but ASS is funnier so’)

olu being cursed with the worst tile luck in existence and ending up 50 points behind because they’re nearly finished and he’s only drawn 3 consonants so far in the whole game

[overleftdown]

if i can be so real for a minute, the saltburn fandom is not very large and not very old... and yet i have had SO many odd convos. usually about farleigh but sometimes about other stuff. i've been called obnoxious so many times for mentioning everything that comes with farleigh's character but it's in the movie for a reason, man. i'm venting. "what does XYZ have to do with this?" bro idk maybe the fact that it was included in the movie, therefore i'm going to bring it up?

class, privilege, sexism, escapism, etc. are all important parts of this movie. so is race. i've gotten the most heat for talking about race and white privilege which is... not surprising tbh. sometimes i just want to be serious when everyone wants to be silly. if your silliness makes you apathetic to the rhetoric of the film and how some of it should be taken seriously... man. ouch. damaging to the psyche tbh.

a lot of the fandom is rly cool but ackkk i've been on my toes. i've been encountering some irl felix cattons...

[veevee-the-artist]

Because of how close they get, Wild Archie is a wee bit clingy and territorial about Valkory. She is HIS hero and best friend. In a way, she's his safe zone, knowing with her around nothing can hurt him.

There's also an irrational fear about what would happen if he somehow lost her. With her gone, he's back to being a helpless/useless lump in a world dead set being against him and he's starve and get beat up and no one will vouch for him and etc etc. Valkory does her best to smooth away his fears and trains him on surviving. Arylo said it's just him in the process of healing from the abuse his ex tribe put him through. Luckily she's a patient hero and will help him on his journey of recovery.
