Chapter 4!
It took some time but the next addition to the story I am obsessed with telling is here!
Please be aware that there is a failed suicide attempt in this chapter. Also gaslighting and hallucinations. No shame if you would rather skip it as I have marked the section it starts at.
Otherwise, I drew more art for the flora featured so far!
Poison Silverleaf:
- Commonly known as Silverleaf, this plant is cultivated for its silver leaves that turn iridescent under the light of the moon. While everyone knows the plant itself is toxic to animals, only the best herbalists and gardeners know that when the juice from the berries is concentrated and heated up, it turns into an incredibly deadly poison. Anyone who ingests even a drop, will suffer from heart failure within the hour and many important officials have been murdered from their own gardens.
- The plant becomes a rather large bush that is often trimmed into various shapes for decoration. It has small silver leaves and produces small blue berries in vast quantities during the warm months.
- The plant is purely decorative and none of it should be eaten because of the toxicity. Depending on the amount ingested, you could be sick for many days with intense abdominal and chest pain. The plant is rather bitter though which keeps most people from actually consuming that much.
Bitter Root:
- Named for the extreme flavour the root has, this herb is another commonly used remedy, mostly for nausea and improving stomach discomfort. Generally, it is made into a tea but is not uncommon to add it to meals as cooking does lessen the bitterness a little.
- The root is light brown and grows in such a way that looks knobby. The plant part grows up to a foot tall and has narrow pink leaves and stems. It can become quite bushy if not trimmed back but is very easily propagated. (I was actually inspired by ginger root if that wasn't already obvious.)
- It is easily foraged and many gatherers make a pretty penny collecting them. Some prefer to grow it themselves though as it can take a while for natural growths to recover if over harvested. It takes at least 3 months to mature and only gets bigger over time, easily surviving the cold months and continuing to grow in the next year.
Touch-Me-Not:
- This plant grows rather tall and can reach 4 feet on average. It has a thick brown stalk with long leaves that branch from the base and reach about 3 feet in height. The top of the stalk ends in a bristle-like bunch of small red flowers.
- The plant itself is often used to make baskets or other weaved things because it's very strong when dried properly. The flower has a very strong scent and it's pollen acts as an allergen if you touch it. You'll probably get a small rash where it touches your bare skin. (I was inspired by a plant that is rather common along highways where I live called Poison Sumac.)
- Traditionally, the flowers are burned to get rid of pests like insects and small animals. Inhalation of the smoke is harmful even to humans and great care must be taken when using it.

----- i have debated adding onto Ebony's lore that he has a child , that is mainly kept a secret due to protection. He's not. HEAVILY involved with his kid's life. Deffo not a neglectful dad , but his kid doesn't live with him and no one knows about said kid.

Something’s happened that’s made me feel like I don’t want to speak another word to another soul ever again in my life, so I may fall back into silence here and just post pictures for a while like I used to
