MYO-3096: Celestite

Finally. There were no more errands to run, Celestite had made sure of that before leaving the embassy last time. Along with that, Agate had long since settled in at his cabin and didn’t need to be brought along with him anymore. He could get back to his original plan when it came to helping with the ambrosia.  His outfit of choice had been picked out especially for th...

“Finally,” Primrose huffed, seemingly in response to hearing the greenhouse door creak open. He didn’t turn, instead speaking loudly to address the succubun who had entered: “Tardiness is not a sin in itself, Celestite, but I hope you have a good reason for being late! I don’t have all...

The darkness before his eyes wasn’t absolute. Warm light flickered and danced, muted but still bright enough to bleed through the cloth obscuring his vision. The candle smoke had almost faded entirely into the scent of lavender wax and rose petals scattered around the room, but it still lingered, serving as an acrid undertone to mellow the sweet floral notes.  Everything was perfect, Celestite hoped.  ...

The fever that took hold in his body made its presence known slowly—Celestite felt it creep up his throat at first, dismissing it as being sore from the cold. Another day passed and he carried on as usual, feeling no more different other than a small tickle in the back of his throat. Then, midmorning, as he sat working away on a chunk of quartz, a wave of exhaustion settled over him. ...

The entire piece was roughly the size of a fist, with a warm gray stone base that held the cluster of deep purple crystals. They could stand to be polished as their surface was crealy matte in the light, but that would come in time. Celestite had only mined them today and he was worn...

Having to turn back as soon as soon as he arrived to the Heavenly Embassy wasn't ideal considering what a hassle it was to get there. But, as it happened, Celestite was planning to swing by Dove and Jackal's apartment that day as it was. When Primrose handed him the package meant for Dove, it seemed almost too convenient.  He came up onto their apartment a short while later, parcel of herbs in hand and a second delivery tucked away in his coat pocket.  Dove opened the door mom...

Celestite lives far away from the center of Burrowgatory entirely by choice. Out here, it’s quiet.The natural beauty of the crystal-studded caves outdoes the city lights and the congestion of nightlife streets any day or night. There’s a comfortable sort of predictability to the frigidness that coats the area no matter the time of year; no need to worry about keeping anything up rain or shine when you pretty much always have cool, still cave air or a bit of ...
