Description

" Like a faerie...the others can't tell,because she hides it.But I'm there when she sleeps.She has no breath.She never eats,but she never gets any thinner...She has colorless skin,and the voice of an angel.I'm convinced.My sister isn't human..."

There is a legend,among the small villages in the foothills of the tall mountain.That if a mother doesn't guard her child closely enough,it would be taken.And replaced.

" That thing is no child of mine.It's a witch.A changeling."

The baby they take is spirited away to their home,and replaced with a child of their own.It's considered a great honor by those demons to be taken and raised as their own.

"My childhood?...I don't really want to talk about it.I was never really accepted there..."

The human child is said to be turned against it's true parents,raised into a demon that hates humans.IT is corrupted thoroughly,before being returned to it's home the night of it's eighteenth birthday.In all of the time leading up to this night,the two swapped children share a bond of emotion.And in the days closely preceeding the night of it's return,both the changeling and the corrupted human child's empathy will increase expotientally.

"Kaede!I don't understand what's happening...*gasp.."Everything's so cold...and if I don't keep taking breaths every few seconds I get dizzy...*gasp...is..is this what it feels like to be human...?"

Sometimes the transformation that follows is dangerous.Oftentimes the changeling cannot adjust to the new weaknesses fast enough..and they don't survive.The kidnapped human child gets the better end of this deal,taking on the attributes of the changeling while the demon takes on the weakness of a human.

" But...*gasp...What about when I need to sleep?How will I remember to breathe...? *gasp..."

On the eighteenth birthday of the changeling,and it's human counterpart finalize that link between them,by meeting for the first time.However...if the changeling is not in the same place that the demons left it...

"SHe's been having dreams...about home.She asked me the other day...if we should go back..."

The changeling and the human will experience the most overwhelming urge to return home,to the place where it was raised.Very likely,the human child will be waiting to meet them.

"I think...maybe we should at least go visit..."





This is kind of a prompt for Suite
It was her birthday last night.Mine too.This picture is of Suite,and her human counterpart,Robin.Happy birthday.Now that she's eighteen,she keeps dreaming about home.And in the entire week prior to her birthday,she had to endure life as a human.Her powers were also not working properly.And none of this will change until her human counterpart is found.So the hunt is on.Suite left the guild in the middle of the night,heading for her hometown.She told no one besides Thomas and Kaede where she was going.So she won't be in rp for a while,not until she finds Robin.



This is just one of those awkward line sketches in my traditional style.The one on the left is Robin,the human.Suite is on the right.

T.T The passage was really good. It made me sad all over again. And I always love your drawings.

Kaede has a birthday present for her, but I don't know if she will be able to use it.
