Man, if I had a nickel for every time I created a chaos spirit who develops a fun yet deep and meaningful friendship with the authority figure who keeps them in line, I’d have two nickels! Which, admittedly, isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

#writing #the prometheus curse #aiolus of the fairies #realized this while writing tomorrow's oc-tober entry #I genuinely like this trope (whatever it's called) #friendship #like there is a genuine strong loyalty there #and he's kind of grown to like being under that authority #then when that person is taken or almost taken away he hates it (even though the restrictions are gone) #it's nice

OC-Tober! Day 25: Spirit

Honestly, the most dangerous of the spirits I’ve come up with is probably the Alchemic villain. Not that he’s a spirit to start out with, but he’s evil enough even without that. Once he eventually does die, though? He gets to be even more twisted and horrifying, and I would not recommend going anywhere near that sucker.

The next most dangerous one, in and of himself, is probably Vincentio. Now, when he’s with the Band, he’s pretty chill, unless they’re specifically trying to scare someone (which they do from time to time! They just enjoy that!). And if somebody in charge says he needs to lay low, he’ll lay low all right. He won’t act up.

But if he gets a reason in his head, he will hate you and hate you long. Then, if he gets an opportunity, he will probably try to scar you for life, if not kill you outright. And if he gets that opportunity at a time when he’s lost his temper, when he’s in a fury? Oh, you better freaking run.

Eurus, now, he doesn’t have as short a temper (or height), has more of sense of royal decorum (being a god), so you might well think he’s not as dangerous. And in that way, you’d be right. He won’t snap easily.

But he’s also a serious snake-in-the-grass, and his only desire is to bring division and chaos to the mortal and the fairy kingdoms. He loves to lie, to manipulate people, to twist words, basically to get people to believe something he knows isn’t true. And if he successfully manages to bring that upon, say, a small group of people, or even just one alone, he will snatch them one by one, and trap them in his stormclouds. I don’t even know what he’ll do with them if he keeps them trapped long enough.

Of course, lies aren’t the only tool he has. He’s not above kidnapping queens and murdering mothers or children. Whatever works. (So yeah, stay away from him, for sure.)

Hmm, who else? I don’t think I’ll count Julius or Rachel’s character, since I’m not sure I’m including them, at least not yet.

The spirit from that one short story, “Project Hanging Tree”, she’s dangerous, and she can very much kill you, but she doesn’t like killing people, and doesn’t do it unless she either has to or is forced to. So I wouldn’t worry too much about her.

Amazu. Now, Amazu is certainly dangerous. As Edmund Pevensie once said of Bacchus, “there’s a chap who would do absolutely anything”. Now, Amazu’s not a god like Bacchus—in fact, I’m still not sure what he is—but he’s still like that, he’d do anything if he thought it’d be fun. However, he’s only dangerous like that when not under authority. If someone with authority is there, he won’t act up. (In fact, with that someone being basically his best friend now, he’s kind of grown to like it.)

So while you wouldn’t like to meet him without someone with that authority around, he’s generally okay. He’s actually a pretty fun guy.

Then we have the fairies. These are in several stories, but one of the main ones is “Aiolus of the Fairies”. There we have Oberon, Titania, and the rest of the fairies, especially Puck. But while they’re dangerous, they’re also noble, unlike Eurus the deceiver. Of course they’re not safe, but they’re good. (Two Lewis quotes in a row, huh?)

Puck is probably the real spirit of chaos among them, but he’s kept from going too crazy. He’s more of a prankster than anything else, almost a trickster god. He’s kept in line by Oberon, and later by Aiolus. And he doesn’t mind. He still gets to play his pranks on the Weaver.

In general, then.

With some of the spirits I’ve come up with, you just do not need to even come near them, for your own safety.

With some of them, they can certainly kill you, but probably won’t, because they’re noble and good.

And with others, they’re dangerous, but if you come around them when they’re with the right people, you’re fine.
