The Duke - Blog Posts

MY FIRST FIC ON AO3! GO READ IT!

I have an addition, and I even took the liberty to edit his hair

I’m sorry but you can’t tell me these two

Don’t have the same vibe.

Body type aside their personalities are really similar. Both smug background characters who has this “high power” aura.

"A child of "Rarest Blood" that lived on the Moon to protect her, and yet her loneliness got the better of her as she grew up. She first appeared as a commoner.... I see it as a cautionary fairy tale of curiosity and coveting what cannot be kept, like treasures from a dream." The man laughed, "Surely it's just a tale, yes? But I am curious of if she has a noble ancestry beyond a peculiar complexion."

It had been planned for when the Veil thinned. Stelle embraced Acer, bidding him goodbye.

She was off to Weselton, to finally meet others face to face. She had a suitcase of her things, and a costume for a masquerade ball that she was invited to on behalf of the Duke.

The other case had gifts for the Duke, to show her gratitude. Books of Harmonian tales, maps, gemstones...

She hoped to make a good impression as she went through the doors, to enter the waking world for the first time.

"I remember a book, ah, I think you have it? The 'Moon's Lone Dreamer'? She is almost as if she stepped from it!"

This book was a Fairy Tale, illustrated and passed along families. A lonely maid from the Moon, appearing from nowhere and charming those around her.

The Pierrot Troll was sitting and talking to the young man, the two enjoying the company. He was a man of good standing and lineage, but Stelle? Mysterious.

"Oh... Sure..." Stelle smiled at the young man, and they went to dance.

Another went to the Duke, "Certainly a strange young lady, Your Excellency... She is making a wonderful impression."

"Why, thank you...." Stelle smiled, before a young man offered to cut in. Stellelooked a little lost, and looked to Edgar for guidance.

"No, but please, I'd like to learn!" Stelle smiled.

Stelle glanced to Edgar, hoping this was going well, and looked back, "You are welcome, Your Majesty."

People had come to see the "Star-Child" and "Lone Moon Maid."

Stelle mostly stayed with Edgar to seek his guidance on how to interact with others.

Stelle straightened, "I thank His Excellency for inviting me." Stelle presented a velvet black drawstring back. "These are for you."

For the Queen,

A necklace crowned with fine diamonds. The gold shimmered with the moon's glow.

For the King, a ring of gold, only this particular ring was different as far as astronomy signs. This one was made for a larger scale of space and time.

"This has where this world is in this universe, and help map skies beyond what you see."

Stelle bowed, Your Majesty, I come from Lone Moon, the land of Prophetic Dreams. It is an honor to share company with you.”

"Of course." Stelle stayed by Edgar, waiting to be prompted or spoken to. She quietly observed the other humans, some of whom subtly stared back.

"I see. I am happy you can laugh about it." Stelle gazed out, "I'm nervous. You are the first human I have met. I hope I don't disappoint."

She held the case of gifts, gifts for Weselton's royalty.

"The Pierrot is an important persona in Harmonian storytelling. They, alongside other kinds of clowns, are common in multiple universes where Trolls exist." Stelle smiled. "This type, the White Pierrot, represents innocence, mystery, and gentleness."

"It's..." Stelle was astounded, "It's incredible..." She had her luggage, and was taken by servants to get set up, dressed, and ready for the ball properly.

She would reappear not long after, dressed in a Pierrot costume. It was pristine white with black accents, her makeup in the classic style. If anything, Stelle appeared more as a duitiful servant versus a dignitary.

Acer rumbled an affirmative.

Stelle smiled, but noticed things becoming hazy. "Oh... Oh, you are waking up? I guess we will meet again, sometime."

Open RP

The Lone Moon was lustrous in its ocean of sky. Stelle stood at a long pool of still water, gazing into the deep blue. Gilded fish swam about, some bobbing up at the surface.

The Pierrot Troll picked up an ivory dish, laden with pellets. She tossed pellets to the water, watching as the lazy fish sprang to life.

It was lonely here. Were there Dreamers out to see her?

"Acer is my Lusus, my guardian... Parent. He raised me here on Lone Moon."

Another long growl.

"Acer is from Alternia, an Empire that Harmonus warily considers a trade partner." Stelle looked to where the growling came from. "However to most dreamers, Acer appears frightening."

"...What sorts of things does your Kingdom look for? I'm not sure if I can help but... I know Harmonus is always looking for new information and archival on other worlds..."

"I see..." Stelle looked around, "I take you are here a lot, considering the details I see."

Trade and foreign matters... What was more foreign than an alien? A Troll? "If I may ask? How are these relations going?"

Stelle went quiet. She watched the Egret a little more, before taking Edgar to where they were to go next.

She did not complain, only doing her work. Seeing how important this door looked, she took a crisp, white cloth from her pocket to open the door.

It was a grand throne room, the one Edgar would know very well.

"...What are they worth to you? Are they worth more dead than alive?" she asked.

A shimmering tear fell upon the Egret. It seemed to bring a ghost of the bird to appear, as if wading in a nonexistent lake. Delicate as a pencil sketch, the Egret waded around its lake. Alone.

Stelle watched. The bird called out, but no others joined.

"I am the only one of my blood type. Spectral Bloods are extinct. On Alternia, I am likely more valuable dead than alive. Like..."

She had unlocked a door, and her face fell. It was a room of rare birds, all taxidermy.

She had never seen these birds before except in books. Stelle approached a graceful egret, her fingers brushing under its chin. "You... You poor creature..."

"I... I would love to see other places, and other people. There is a way, but it can be dangerous." Pause. "Dreamers cannot hurt me here, but if I go someplace in the waking world, I could be hurt or killed."

"How tragic... The do say the roads to demise are paved with good intentions. I... I can relate." Stelle sighed, "I grew up alone in these halls of dreams. Safe, as no other dreamer could hurt me here. But I never had friends."

Turning to the Duke, "I do not know if another world could accept me, or even see me more than as a ghost in a dream.

"Um, I am unsure. Does this remind you of anything?" Stelle asked.

She looked into the room, the entry of an ice palace. "Strange..."

"True, but insight is insight. Even to know just one good royal exists." Stelle listened, "Harmonus acts as not just a multiverse hub, but preserves parts of worlds long gone. To save and revive extinct blood types, morphs, and species is instrumental to learning and preventing another extinction. I am proof it is possible."

Stelle went to another room, opening the door. It was all ice. Everything was frozen. "Oh... This is different."

"I am the only one of my kind. Harmonus has been trying to keep Trolls of many worlds alive, as a safeguard from extinction in worlds that died off. There are other extinct kinds, mostly unique blood colors, and I guess I was the first to be revived. You are the first royal I have met, and yet I realize humans are far different."
