And at that moment, in terror, Keelin heard someone shouting in his mind—shouting the same words, over and over again.
Get out! Get out! Get out!
day 7 - soft
He was crouching beside a tearful little girl, deftly replacing a bandage on her arm. ‘Now, do not pull it off again, Daisy,’ Rye heard him say.
‘It hurts,’ the child whimpered.
‘Of course,’ Sholto agreed seriously. ‘But it is not the bandage that hurts you. It is the cut underneath. The bandage will stop the bleeding and keep the dirt out. It is your friend. See?’
He pulled a pencil from his pocket and drew two eyes and a smiling mouth on the edge of the bandage.
The little girl blinked, and slowly her face broke into a wobbly grin.

i’m not too happy with how this one came out but it’s here, so yay!
day 12 - vivid
Gigantic trees rose before them. Rain-wet vine studded with purple flowers clothed the mighty trunks and hung in great swags from the trees’ lower branches. Running water sang and gurgled on every side. Mist rose from the forest floor and drifted up to the dripping green canopy that hid the sky.

day 24 - confronting
Rye’s head felt as if it might burst. He could feel the bag of powers warm and pulsing against his skin like a live thing with a heart.
Nine powers to aid you in your quest…
Powers to help the dupe of the Fellan do what the Fellan themselves could not—end Olt’s life and open the way to the Lord of Shadows.
Shuddering with revulsion, Rye tore the bag from his neck so violently that the knotted drawstring snapped and pulled completely out of its casing. Its neck ragged and gaping, the bag lay in his hand like flabby skin shed by some loathsome, creeping animal.
More than anything in the world he wanted to cast it away from him, see the charms scatter in the wind and be lost.

i imagine the “finding out that during the entirety of your quest you were being used as a pawn for the people you thought you could trust” situation would be pretty confronting to learn, so yeah. that’s not really what happened, but rye didn’t know that at the time so we can just let him have his breakdown
also i just know that if i stare at this any longer i’ll never post it, so i’m just going to post it! come get y’all juice (now in colour!)
(i’ve just realised the fell zone’s not supposed to be on fire yet. smh)
