 Displaced: Crossing Roads
4th Wall Chat  
Gel 


Explain, why am I here?

"Unlike Erebus, who downright gave a blunt explanation, just talk about your past."

Wait, you mean he talked before me? How does that make any sense, I came up next in the story?

"I'll put out later, for now, just speak, I have 7 Days To Die to get back to."

Fine.... I guess i'll just get this over with, my name is Gel, and if it wasn't obvious, I'm a changeling.

My life is about as sad as you can get, really. I was born to feed off of love, served my Queen without a moment's hesitation, and in the end, I became one of her very best . . . . but that was due to my . . . 'gift'. You see, I was born with characteristics to both changeling 'and' pony, I had a membrane like mane, and my eyes had pupils and such, so that made me stand out, if not for being a female, which was also very uncommon for the hive.

As for why I was living in a tomb underneath a long forgotten castle, it was because of my realization that happened after our failed assault on the Wedding. After most of the hive made it back to the badlands, I had finally debated on my choices in my life. I blindly followed orders like a sick puppy, used as a pawn, and seen as a monster to others for it.

That's when I realized something, out of every changeling in the hive, I was the most reluctant to follow orders after that day, along with another changeling, but I can't remember his name. So in the end, I looked into more . . . peaceful ways of getting love, and not just stealing it.

Runes, they were what gave light to my already unique lifestyle. They opened doors to possibilities that even I would have seen as a fairy tail, then again, I am one. I tried to show my Queen this new way of life, as it turns out, changeling magic is highly efficient to work with these ancient runes and stones. But, that when I learned the world is never as black and white.

I paid the price for this 'idea', our salvation, and so I was tossed aside, left to wander the world that rejected me, alone. Until . . . Lumos . . . . I don't know much about him, but he might just be my last chance to piece my life back together, I hope.

Now, before I forget, there is a 'Massive' difference between my runes and Selene's enchantments. She can only enhance an item with power, and can use multiple at once, runes however, can be used whenever, but are limited to 1 at a time.


Anywho, due to the fact that many would not realize, Runes drive from ancient times, using magic that had long been forgotten, and discontinued, I can either use stones as wards, or write ones ive memorized into my book, to which the words come to life in the form of magic, leeching off my own for a catalyst. 

The basics are these 3 things...

-A clear memory of the words 

-A plentiful source of magic

-And no using more than 1 rune at a time

So far, that all I feel like sharing, and judging my how much I rambled, I say i'll bid you all farewell.
