Awakening 🕯️ (7)

Meeting Moon seemed to be an exhilarating experience for Kid, as someone who had never met another so shiny before. And Kid's perspective remains quite limited. Someone else sees the Moon's arrival as some sort of sentence, a reaction born from years long guilt and remorse. But Mekh seems to know things that others don't. Moon's arrival has made her cross paths with the child she apparently had already seen a long time ago, before the events of the Shattering. How could it be that it was the same child who has reappeared so long after? Why could he have been hidden in the first place? What Mekh believes for sure, is that Teth has a lot of secrets, many upon which rests the Fate of the world.

Does Mekh's perspective paint the events as they were? and . . who really is Kid?

Awakening 🕯️ (8)

Meeting Moon certainly was a noteworthy experience, but Kid soon goes back to play with his friends, who had come up with a game ⎯⎯⎯ well, only one of them seemed to be very passionate about it. Kid is on board and finds it quite fun to play pretend, even though he needs directions as to how he should behave . . . things go well until the story takes a turn which rubs him off the wrong way, for a reason he couldn't pinpoint. All that he knew, was that it was unfair, and felt horrible. Unable to explain the effect it had on him, he runs off, dropping the story altogether. His friend wonders if the Princess shouldn't just get back with the Prince, without realizing that this story might ring true with another, to an extent that all of them are unaware of.

GOD VS GOD-COMPLEX

"For I am the One,

The True Source of Light;

Greater than a mere star,

and the most Honored.

Brighter than the Sun,

if not the Sun Himself,

I am to become."

another impromptu verses to accompany the drawing ⎯⎯⎯ while it might have started with good intentions, I believe that Resh's ultimate goal was likely to overthrow Megabird and take her place as the source of Light, as he judged that her light was weakening. he comes to believe that he is the only one from who emanates the Light, and who gives life to the Kingdom. Basically that nothing could live or prosper without his existence.

Can you tell I have an obsession? Eh? Okay

i really like to believe that Alef / Resh aren't really the same person, even if technically, they are. but Resh is more of the humanoid form of the darkness that has taken over Alef's body, if that makes sense? i imagine there was probably a period during which Alef had a sort of internal battle ( that he obviously lost ) , against the growing darkness inside of him. much like darkness absorbs light, perhaps light was absorbed from Alef, and Darkness has replaced it, in a similar fashion that when Light was drained out of light creatures, they became dark creatures? an empty shell of what they used to be? something of the sort... eitherway, I am fascinated by this concept ( as you can see )

Moments Before the Shattering

found this sound INCREDIBLY fitting, whether regarding Resh, or the Elders concerned by his words . . . i do imagine that Resh must've known about the Elders' inability to get along, and constant disagreements, especially regarding darkstone. when they come to confront him and stop him from attempting to use the eternal Light Beam to become god, it is already too late, and he doesn't hold back from mocking them about their slow reaction, let alone their stupidity in handling their powers. i believe it is also a point where Resh has come to accept the Darkness within him, as part of his "godly" power, which he, due to his corruption, doesn't really see as something bad. at least, not anymore.

that being said, amazing voice work by @doofguyva on tiktok !!!

Awakening 🕯️ (6)

Despite being unaware of Teth's nightmare, Kid is still able to observe that something seems to be wrong. The Forest Elder appears to be restless, and is always checking her surroundings. He is unsure as to how to help, but he notices that her mood lifts a little when he talks to her about his adventures. It does sadden him that she doesn't seem to find happiness otherwise. What could possibly make her heart so sorrowful? Kid's thoughts are interrupted by the sudden appearance of a very shiny stranger, who refers to themself as "Moon". Kid immediately equates their person to that of the moon itself. Would he be correct in assuming so? If so, why would the moon suddenly show up in human form?
