Angsty Simple Prompt

Okay gang, it's time. I wrote this in one go, so there will probably be mistakes lmao

Happy spooky month Sky Community :D

And without further ado, here is my Sky creepypasta!

Moths

They're what many of the people of this game call new folk.

Others call them Sparrows.

Either way, they are admired by all. For such a beautiful game, with such impact, when someone new joins everyone hopes they will reach the end.

Most do.

And many do not return.

But, tragically that is not what this story is about, not quite, at least.

This tale is of a much smaller scale. Something that happened to me almost a year ago.

~~~

Back then I had finally become a pro. Established a main outfit, made some OCs, and had a handful of friends I saw online regularly. Not very many, I've never been a social person.

On this particular day, I was candle running my normal route. Hitting both Prarie and forest, along with Geyser and Grandma.

However, on my way to Grandma's, I noticed the server was completely empty. Not a single sign of there being another person.

Just me.

Alone.

That was, until I saw the familiar sight of a broken star at the edge of my screen. The tell tale sign of someone losing all their light.

Not an uncommon sight in forest.

Naturally, as most people would do, I flew toward where the player was.

I hardly noticed when the music cut out.

But, I rarely had the music on anymore anyway, what, with how often I'll spontaneously start playing music.

As I suspected, I found an unlit skykid in the river.

They were just standing there.

I didn't think much of it, perhaps they had to go afk for a moment and forgot to move somewhere safer.

I placed my torch down, and decided to stick around to grab any wing light they might lose.

I stood there for quite some time, but not a single light was lost.

The skykid was still not moving.

But I noticed they weren't afk either. None of the indications of such were present.

Out of curiosity, I held my candle out to them.

Immediately they lit me, and I saw they were a moth.

Maybe they were confused?

I tried pointing them to the nearest light,

But

They just. Kept. Standing. There.

Eventually, I decided this wasn't worth my time. Grandma was starting soon, and they were probably just a veteran trying to troll someone.

I flew away, intending to go straight to Grandma's.

But I was back beside the moth.

...okay?

Perhaps I just lagged. My game doesn't always run very smoothly.

I tried again.

But...

I was right back in the same spot.

Maybe I was going too fast?

I tried walking away, but, while my skykid woud have the walking animation, they wouldn't move anywhere. I just kept rubberbanding back to the same spot.

The moth

Took a step toward me.

Then another

And another.

Until they were basically standing on top of me.

I tried moving my camera to get a better look at them.

Something was wrong.

Their cape had no stars. And I realized they were taller than me.

Their body stretched unnaturally upwards, neck and limbs becoming slightly too long.

The lights that should have been behind their mask were dark. The light on their chest wasn't there.

They- it crouched down and produced a deep call.

That sound...

Stars that sound.

It hurt. It hurt so bad.

My ears were ringing.

It hurt like hell.

Ithurtit h urt

Like it was clawing my eardrums out.

Like millions of skykids screaming together distorted through a broken speaker.

My ears were ringing. I had to take my headphones out.

I hadn't noticed that my light had run out. My poor skykid was unlit.

I could hardly see them through the black streaks the rain was leaving on my screen.

There was something looming above them.

I didn't know what it was going to do. I didn't care.

I closed the game.

~~~

It took me weeks to start playing again.

I was so afraid that I wouldn't even be able to.

But I had to give it a shot at least once.

Miraculously, it worked! I was back in the game.

Something was amiss.

My skykid looked different.

Instead of my usual outfit, they were in moth attire with a few exceptions.

The red earmuffs, the monk blindfold, and the feast scarf were also on it.

I was back to the default hight, and I only had one star.

One of my friends tped to me and said hi,

But I couldn't interact with the hug they offered.

I could move, but I couldn't use any of my emotes.

My chat wasn't working.

And...

I saw it.

The moth.

I didn't think.

Just closed the game.

~~~

Of course, I could never leave Sky forever.

The next time I logged on, everything was fine again.

I found that friend online and apologized. Told them I had been hacked.

Maybe I had. I still don't know.

Sometimes I'll still see it.

It'll creep up on me, do it's terrible call.

And every time, I stop playing for the day.

Usually the day after I will have that outfit, but relogging seems to fix it. Sometimes it takes a few tries.

I haven't heard of anything like this before. Nobody's talked about it, at least.

Perhaps they all stop playing after it happens.

I admit sometimes I want to as well.

I've had a few close calls, and I don't want to know what happens if I stick around when I see it.

I hope

I hope it leaves me alone.

I don't want to deal with it anymore.

I really adore your snake Narrator like everytime I see him I would just jump all around the room and bite the furnitures, but I'm missing my boy Stanley. Where is he and would he like some blueberry muffins?

He loves muffins!!

The narrator is waiting for a bite, he is most likely getting nothing.

ISAT SECRET SANTA !!

hihihi!! some of you may remember the interest check poll i made a few weeks ago. now that were getting closer to the holidays, its time to finally put this out.

(i encourage you to read through everything before signing up!)

what is secret santa? how does it work?

to summarize… each participant will receive the name of another participant, and be tasked with creating a gift for them. the catch is that the gift, and who its for, is intended to be a secret until the gift is given.

for this event specifically, i will be hosting it through a discord server to give me easier access / communication with all participants.

important dates

NOV 20 -> sign ups are closed! no more participants past this date will be allowed in

NOV 21 - NOV 22 -> gifts and participants will be distributed

NOV 23 -> buffer day. an extra day added for me to go through and make sure there werent any errors or changes needed to be made to the randomized assignments

DEC 15 -> progress check-in! (no actual progress required to be shown)

DEC 25 - JAN 1 -> posting week! gifts are revealed and given.

rules + extra notes

all gifts should be kept pg! be extremely mindful of what you include in your gift. additionally, sensitive topics / imagery should be limited to be safe

while i have no actual control over your actions, i encourage people not to spoil their gifts early. its more fun as a surprise!

ocs / aus are allowed to be worked with so long as there are ref sheets + enough information for your santa to work off of

joining the server is required for participation, to make things easier for me to work with.

should go without saying, but- the gifts you create are required to be your own original work. stolen or AI generated gifts are not permitted

have fun with your gifts!! there is no point if your are not having a good time :)

how to sign up?

TWO very important steps.

1. fill out the google form!!

Google Docs

In Stars and Time Gift Exchange

In Stars and Time Gift Exchange

make sure to fill in all required spaces!

2. join the server!

both steps are required for your to be added to the participant list! if i see youve completed one without the other (example- filled out the form, but havent joined the discord) i might reach out and poke you about it.

questions?

if you have any questions, you are free to ask me here!! or within the server itself, once youve signed up.

i! am very excited for this! hope you are too :)

Tumblr mutuals are automatic friends that can message me anytime

seabastian should learn about 'gentle parenting'

Hello people (and others, if such are present), I am back once again. Have this Toshinori art as a humble offering🙇‍♀️

I'm insane abt sky lore so I did some researching based on your questions and here's what I got :D

The Elders names

The Elders (plus the king & prince) have names based off Hebrew letters from concept development that are no longer canon, though the fandom sometimes refers to them as such:

Isle – Daleth (ד)

Prairie – Ayin (ע)

Forest – Teth (ט)

Valley – Samekh (ס) (They share a name, though the fandom refers to the spiky hair twin as Sah and the bobbed hair twin as Mekh.)

Wasteland – Tsadi (צ)

Vault – Lamed (ל)

Prince – Alef (א)

King – Resh (ר)

Though it seems the devs refer to the Elders by the times of day their realms represent:

Isle – Dawn

Prairie – Day

Forest – Rain

Valley – Sunset

Wasteland – Dusk

Vault – Night

Eden – Storm

Credit to Alasdair#8513 on Discord for the info. (I copy pasted this from the Sky:cotl wiki fandom about the elder hhhh)

The Eden is corrupted?

The Eden is in fact corrupted with corrupted water, dark plants, evil crabs and krill(they're called dark dragon but we usually call them krill🦐). There's a lot of theories about why the Eden is corrupted and corrupting the realms nearby:

wasteland (heavily corrupted)

valley (barely possibly due to the cold)

forest and prairie (mild corruption)

isle (none due to being the farthest)

vault is special because the realm doesn't have any corruption despite being the closest to Eden. Possibly for being cough cough a vault.

The theories being related to the King from Eden being corrupted or the Dark Dragons taking over the sky realms. Idk we never get the true lore yet or I'm missing something ^^;

What are the Winged Light?

The winged lights are the shiny children you picked all around the realms to enhance your wing! The more winged lights you collected, the stronger your wing is and you could fly much longer and higher. Unlocking spirit's second tier (using red candles that you get everytime you finished Eden or do the corrupted rocks tasks. The candles are called Ascended Candles btw) will also give you free winged lights after you finished Eden :3

I haven't played Sky for a while so I might missed some stuff hehe. Any questions? :]

HELPP

What in the world is the basic sky lore.

Like literally I know nothing.

I heard the elders have names?!

The elder eden got corrupted?!
