It Is Time For 'Baddie Hibernation'

Hey babes we have 3 months before the summer! It is time to tighten up! This is the time to work on your physical and mental I know we all want to be hot girls this summer so now is the time to prioritize ourselves!

Routines

♡ Routines are super important. they are your key to success and living an organized life. If you have not created a routine already I created a blog post on how to create a productive routine. This is the time to stick to your routines in the morning and night and adjust them if needed.

Physical

♡ Hygiene. Consistency is key for your facial care routine to work so be consistent in applying all your products. If you aren't seeing results with a certain product you have been using for over 3 months maybe try and find a better product. I recommend using a gua sha three times a week there are so many benefits in using a gua sha blog post coming soon! Don’t just focus on your facial care focus also on your body care use African exfoliating net sponges, shave regularly, apply lotions and body oils, and use feet masks to peel dead skin.

♡ Diet. For my girlies who are on a weight loss journey and want to be snatched before summer, it is time to be dedicated to sticking to your diet. I don’t have any specific diets to recommend do what works for you. If you struggle with Binge Eating Disorder like me I have a book that I can recommend that will help you work on your ED and also help you lose weight “The Binge Code” by Allison Kerr and Richard Kerr. This book has been a game-changer for me! For my babes who aren't focused on weight loss, it is still important to try and eat healthier try including a variety of whole foods into your diet and drink waterrr!!! Water is so good for us from our skin to our digestive system try and drink at least 50oz but aim for 100oz of water daily.

♡ Movement. Try and include some sort of movement daily we must move our bodies daily. Figure out what type of exercise you like walking is very simple and costs absolutely nothing. Start small with 10 minutes of outdoor walking daily. Natural light is so beneficial for our mental health and mood. Yoga and pilates are such amazing slow and impactful forms of exercise. I've been including yoga in my nighttime routine there are so many channels and videos on YouTube you can follow. There are so many other forms of exercise you can try some free and some that cost money.

♡ Supplements. Help and maintain our overall health they can also help with our daily requirements of essential nutrients. I will be listing a few supplements below <333

Multivitamin. Find a reputable multivitamin and take it daily or as instructed. Multivitamins can boost energy and give you vitamins and minerals you might be deficient in.

Magnesium. Improves mood, sleep, exercise performance, regulates blood sugar, and so much more. Magnesium is overlooked by many but so beneficial for us. I've been seeing the bedtime magnesium mocktail I have yet to try but I plan to.

Omega 3(fish oil). Helps with typical brain and eye development. It can fight inflammation and help prevent heart disease and the decline of brain function.

Vitamin D. A lot of us during the winter time have a deficiency in vitamin D because the sun is not out a lot so vitamin D supplements are a must-have they help with regulating mood, reducing depression, healthy bones, and so many other amazing benefits.

Vitamin B Complex. Helps boost energy levels, brain function, digestion, and cell health. There are so many other benefits.

Probiotics. Helps improve gut health, puts healthy bacteria into our gut that in turn helps our digestive system, and inflammation, and can even help aide your weightless journey.

Mental

♡ Sleep. Our bodies function so much better when we are getting a good amount of sleep. You think clearly and your mood is better. Try and set a bedtime for yourself and stick to it. I had to sleep train myself at the beginning of the semester it was so harddd but I'm reaping the benefits now I have energy during the day, my mood is better in the morning, and my brain functions better during the day.

♡ Journaling. We have a lot of emotions that we carry throughout the day and it is important that we let them out and journaling is the best way to do so. I have three journals. One journal is for my emotions, another for gratitude journaling which I highly recommend you get into, and finally my last journal for shadow work. You do not need to have three journals but I like to have everything separate it helps me.

♡ Book. I love reading and listening to self-help books. We all have issues that we need to fix and thankfully we have so many self-help books dedicated to so many different issues people face on a daily. I have so many recommendations I’ll list below.

The Mountain Is You by Brianna Wiest (self-sabotaging)

The Most Powerful Woman In The Room Is You by Lydia Fenet (confidence and career)

Atomic Habits by James Clear (building good habits)

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson (living a carefree life)

The Binge Code by Allison Kerr and Richard Kerr (binge eating, weight loss)

The Shadow Work Journal by Keila Shaheen (internal healing)

The Eldest Daughter Effect by Lisette Schuitemaker and Wies Enthoven (eldest daughters)

The Game Of Life And How To Play It by Florence Scovel and Joel Fotinos (from pessimistic to optimistic, affirmations, and manifestation)

The Power Of The Pussy by Kara King (femininity and dating)

8 Rules Of Love by Jay Shetty (dating and psychology)

The Muslim Woman’s Manifesto by Kashmir Maryam (religion, mental health, and women)

These are the books I can recommend so far there are more searches for books related to the issues you may be facing or things you want to improve on in your life<3

♡ Therapy. I'm a big mental health advocate and it is very important that if you are dealing with mental health issues you get help<3. I've dealt with my issues before and I used better help I found the best therapist who helped me through so much. I love the way they allow you to choose your therapist. I recommend that you use better help. For my NYC teenagers between the ages of 13-17, there is a website called talk space that offers free online therapy for NYC teens NO REFERRAL IS NEEDED. If I find more websites that offer free therapy for other teens around the world I will let you all know<3.

If you have any tips that you want to share down in the comments please do I want all of us to be happy and glowing this summer!

Building Link in BG3- Fighter

Now it's time for the Hero of Hyrule himself. Same as Zelda, there are two builds I have in mind that are similarly appropriate for him, but I'll start with the simpler one. His Ranger build will be next.

The Hylian Champion

This is the Link we tend to see in cutscenes, or more specifically, memories. This was Link when he was Zelda's silent sentinel before the Calamity. A man with a mission and his mouth shut tight with the weight of the world.

Background

Race: Half Elf (Wood Half Elf)

Background: Soldier

Now I'm making Link a Half Elf instead of a full Elf because that's how I see the isekai magic transferring them. Zelda is of royal and holy lineage and is very magically inclined whereas Link is just some guy relatively speaking. Plus with how often Link is depicted as a boy of the forest, so wood elf makes more sense. As for the Soldier background, this is Link in knight mode; a peerless warrior.

Abilities

Strength: 17 (+3)

Dexterity: 16 (+3)

Constitution: 13 (+1)

Intelligence: 10 (0)

Wisdom: 10 (0)

Charisma: (-1)

Str and Dex are self-explanatory, I feel. Constitution is a bit lower because in-game much of Link's durability comes from the armor he's wearing. Having a max health pool doesn't mean much when you're going commando. But even so, he's plenty tough, so he gets a boost there. I evened out his Int and Wis because this Link isn't quite the wild child serial arsonist we play as. This Link is more composed and thoughtful, though his willful mutism causes his Cha to suffer.

Class & Levels

Class: Fighter

Fighting Style: Archery

Proficiencies: Animal Handling, Perception/Acrobatics

We choose archery not because this build is a ranged build, but because only one other style fits Link as well and we'll be able to choose it later. Make no mistake, this Link is a scrapper and will likely be leading the charge in most combat situations. For the proficiencies, Animal Handling is a natural choice from that one memory, and I think Perception and Acrobatics are equally valid choices so just go with your gut on that one.

Level 3

Subclass: Champion

Though Battle Master is most people's go-to when it comes to Fighters, Champion is perfect for Link for one reason: simplicity. While he is known as a master swordsman (no pun intended,) the combat gameplay of BotW and TotK is so good because of how simple it is, among other things. Champion reflects that to a tee.

Level 4

Feat: Shield Master

This incarnation of Link is arguably more creative and innovative with his shield than any other. Plus, you can parry pretty much anything with your shield so this is a reasonable first feat. Also, the reason why we're not going with Ability Improvement is that Strength (a Fighter's main stat) is the only one you can get to 20 without using a Feat. First, use Auntie Ethel's boon in Act 1 to get a +1, then get Astarion to drink Araj Oblodra's blood in Act 2 to get the remaining +2. I know making Astarion drink the gross blood is typically a renegade move, but I think a blank stare from this consummate professional Link would deliver the Zelda-style humor that is appropriate for the situation.

Level 6

Feat: Polearm Master

I know I just said Link is a sword-and-shield man, but Link isn't limited in his arsenal. We know he learned spearplay from the Zora, so this is more than appropriate.

Level 8

Feat: Great Weapon Master

If you want to take this one before Polearm Master, I can't really blame you since it's more useful. I just chose that first because it makes more sense for Link to know spearplay over big weapons. Though Great Weapon Master really is the more useful feat, since Champions crit more easily. Plus with how borderline clumsy Link is with two-handed weapons in BotW, the bonus damage with lower accuracy toggleable effect is also pretty appropriate.

Level 10

Fighting Style: Defense

Link has more armor choices in BotW than just about any other game in the franchise and this style will help embody that in his Faerun adventures.

Level 12

Feat: Durable

The +1 Con is helpful, but that's not the real beauty of this choice. You also regain full HP on every short rest, similar to how you can sleep for all of 10 minutes in BotW and regain all your hearts.

This Link isn't as monstrous as he is in Hyrule, but he's still an absolute menace. A master of melee weapons, a more than capable sniper, and able to give as good as he gets. As long as it's not a battle of wits, this Link is a safe bet to win any battle.

#Baldur's Gate III #Baldur's Gate 3 #BG3 #Legend of Zelda #LoZ #Breath of the Wild #BotW #Tears of the Kingdom #TotK #Age of Calamity #AoC #Hyrule Warriors #HW AoC #Link #Hero of the Wild

Heylo meri pyari sakhis! Hope you guys are all well.

Starting this month, I am going to be more consistent with my content. Your suggestions and asks are always welcomed.

Here is some of the instagram handles I absolutely adore that you guys can find useful too:

1. @seemaanandstorytelling (sexual health influencer)

There is complete lack of sexual competency in India. Most of the time, people ask her 'silly' questions. But I love that she answers them patiently. Plus, she gives advices based on kamasutra also.

2. @learnwithadithya ( yoga and nutrition coach)

I stumbled across him before the foodpharmer and I loved how he called out on certain food products and gave alternatives on them too. I have stopped eating gems after watching his videos.

3. @foodpharmer (health and nutrition)

I love, love, love him. He's literally God send. He has recently gotten famous but I followed him from a long time. He provides the much needed guide to read labels. I realized how much trash food I was eating while thinking it was healthy.

4. @veefitcheck (Hormone and gut coach)

She helped me a lot in improving my eating habits. A lot of time, whenever we go to the doctor for our period issues, hormonal issues or anything else, and god forbid, we are not skinny, their first response is loose weight and then we will see. That results in us taking major steps that ruins our health more. Just going through her reels and doing my own research has helped me improve my eating habits alot.

6. @Yogwishi (yoga and holistic lifestyle)

I don't have photos to post for this one but god, I really love the whole natural and holistic lifestyle and it's a bit hard to follow it fully what with juggling college and other work but I really love the tips and guides she provides. Forget my blog, I would say follow her.

In addition, I would say @pinterestwannabee is the go to for desi aesthetics and if you guys want to read bhagwad gita or mahabharat follow @spiritualnikita and @mahabharatwithdivyansh. They simplify it for us.

A Whole-Body Reset: My Experience with Detoxall 17

Feeling sluggish and bogged down by everyday toxins? That's how I felt before discovering Detoxall 17. This dietary supplement promises a full-body reset through a comprehensive blend of natural ingredients designed to support detoxification and promote overall well-being. Here's why I found it to be a valuable addition to my health routine:

A Multi-Faceted Approach to Detoxification

Detoxall 17 goes beyond a simple cleanse. It incorporates a multi-faceted approach to detoxification, targeting various organs and systems in the body. Key ingredients like milk thistle and dandelion root may support the liver's natural detoxification process. Additionally, the presence of prebiotics and probiotics aims to promote a healthy gut microbiome, which can indirectly contribute to overall detoxification. This comprehensive approach aligns with my desire to address potential toxins throughout my body.

Potential for Increased Energy and Improved Gut Health

Since incorporating Detoxall 17 into my routine, I've noticed a significant improvement in my energy levels. Gone are the days of feeling sluggish throughout the day. Additionally, I've experienced a positive impact on my digestion. While individual results may vary, these changes suggest that the formula may be effective in promoting detoxification and potentially improving gut health, both of which can contribute to increased energy and overall well-being.

Supporting the Body's Natural Defenses

Detoxall 17 may offer benefits beyond just detoxification. Some of the ingredients in the formula, like vitamin C and antioxidants, contribute to a healthy immune system. Additionally, by potentially supporting a healthy gut microbiome, Detoxall 17 may indirectly bolster your body's natural defenses. This focus on supporting the body's inherent ability to detoxify resonates with me, as it prioritizes natural processes over harsh chemicals.

Convenient and Easy to Use

Detoxall 17 comes in capsule form, making it incredibly easy to incorporate into your daily routine. Simply take the recommended dosage with water, and you're good to go. This convenience ensures consistent use, maximizing the potential benefits of the supplement.

A Complementary Tool for Overall Wellness

It's important to remember that Detoxall 17 is not a magic bullet for health. Maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise, and getting enough sleep remain crucial for optimal well-being. However, Detoxall 17 can serve as a valuable complementary tool, supporting your body's natural detoxification processes and potentially promoting increased energy, improved gut health, and a stronger immune system.

Remember: Consult a Doctor Before Use

While Detoxall 17 utilizes natural ingredients, consulting a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen is crucial. They can advise on potential interactions with existing medications and ensure the supplement is safe and suitable for you based on your individual needs and health history.

By potentially promoting detoxification, boosting energy levels, supporting gut health, and strengthening the immune system, Detoxall 17 offers a natural approach to support your overall well-being. Remember, individual results may vary, and consulting a doctor is crucial before use. However, for those seeking a natural and convenient way to support their body's natural detoxification processes, Detoxall 17 offers a compelling option.

Hello Achiever Fam! Ready to transform your body and boost your health?

Today, we're diving deep into the world of fat loss, unmasking the myths and revealing the truths with "The ONLY Fat Loss Video You'll Ever Need to Watch!" 🏋️‍♂️💥 First off, let’s talk about weighing yourself. To avoid the emotional rollercoaster of daily weight fluctuations, weigh yourself every morning after using the bathroom and take the weekly average. This method provides a more stable and accurate reflection of your progress. 📉 Here's the deal with calories: If you eat more than you burn, you gain weight; eat less, and you lose weight. Simple, right? But there’s more to it than just calories in and out. Let’s break down some game-changing factors: Sleep: Poor sleep can spike stress hormones like cortisol, which not only makes losing fat harder but also encourages your body to store fat, especially around your belly. Aim for consistent, quality sleep to keep your weight loss goals on track. 🌙✨ Fats: Don’t fear fats! Especially omega-3 fatty acids like EPA, which help regulate your metabolism and may even curb your appetite. Aim for at least 1,000 milligrams per day from sources like fatty fish or supplements. 🐟🥑 Sugar Cravings: These are often linked to what’s happening in your gut. Feeding your body essential nutrients can help stave off those cravings. Amino acids and essential fats are your allies here. 🍬➡️🥗 Thyroid Health: Your thyroid, which helps regulate metabolism, needs nutrients like iodine and selenium.

Boost your selenium with Brazil nuts and get iodine from seafood or iodized salt. 🦐🥜 Movement: Small movements throughout the day, like fidgeting, can increase your calorie burn. Embrace those little activities to boost your overall energy expenditure. 🏃‍♂️ Cold Exposure: Utilize the power of the cold to boost fat burning. Short, controlled exposure to cold can help enhance your metabolism and increase fat loss. ❄️🧊 Fasting: Integrating fasting with your sleep cycle can enhance its effects. Delaying breakfast or dining earlier can extend your natural fasting period, aiding in weight loss. ⏲️🍽️ Exercise: Incorporate a mix of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), sprint interval training (SIT), and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) to maximize fat burning and improve your physical health. Each has its benefits, so find the right mix that fits your lifestyle and goals. 🚴‍♂️🏋️‍♀️

So, that's a wrap on cutting through the fat loss confusion! How many of these strategies are you already using, or plan to try? Drop your thoughts and experiences in the comments below. 📝 Stay tuned and subscribe for more insights and comparisons on natural supplements and health strategies. Catch you in the next video, Achiever Fam! Bye! 👋💪

It's Summer time! Which means many of us get to have fun in the sun for much needed Vitamin D; which we know helps regulate our immune systems and the absorption of calcium & phosphorus.

Unfortunately, for many of us, fun in the sun also equals sunburns. And what's the first thing we think of when treating a sunburn? Aloe Vera!

Besides being the fragrant green gel in a bottle you buy at the drug store, Aloe Vera is a succulent plant that grows in hot, dry climates and has been used for multiple medicinal benefits for centuries, as we find evidence of its use in Ancient Egypt.

Although aloe is 99 percent water, aloe gel also contains substances known as glycoproteins and polysaccharides. Glycoproteins speed the healing process by stopping pain and inflammation while polysaccharides stimulate skin growth and repair. These substances may also stimulate the immune system.

Most often, Aloe is used topically (applied to the skin). Topical use of aloe is promoted for acne, lichen planus (a very itchy rash on the skin or in the mouth), oral submucous fibrosis, burning mouth syndrome, burns, and radiation-induced skin toxicity.

But did you know you can ingest aloe Vera juice to benefit digestion, immune support, and the extract has benefits for your oral health too?

You can add aloe vera juice to foods like smoothies, cocktails, and juice blends. The juice is a widely known health product with numerous benefits including blood sugar regulation, improved digestion, constipation relief, promote weight loss, diabetes, hepatitis, and inflammatory bowel disease (a group of conditions caused by gut inflammation that includes Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis).

The Juice may contain gel, or pulp, the latex (the layer between gel and skin), and green leaf parts. These are all liquefied together in juice form. Some juices are only made from gel, while others filter the leaf and latex out. It's good to note that the latex has a laxative effect.

In a 2014 study published in the Ethiopian Journal of Health Sciences, researchers found aloe vera extract to be a safe and effective alternative to chemical-based mouthwashes. The plant’s natural ingredients, which include a healthy dose of vitamin C, can block plaque. It can also provide relief if you have bleeding or swollen gums.

Best part is, you can grow your own little aloe plant and use the gel from inside the leaves right at home.

How has aloe helped you? Happy summering!

Hello! Love your blog! Any advice for those trying to reduce their PCOS symptoms like weight gain/bloating, painful menstruation, etc.

hi👋🏾 thank you. My advice depends just on how much a person is willing to do to. For example, some people are willing simply to do what's necessary to reduce symptoms, not to overcome them altogether. Unfortunately, a fair number of people have difficulty in seeing the real bliss in treating their bodies well because we've been taught so many ways to hurt and damage our bodies. Also, investing in your health removes you from following the status quo.

(This is not medical advice by the way. I'm not claiming to offer any treatments or cures either. I am not a medical physician. I do holistic medicine and herbalism).

Anyway, PCOS is no different to many other issues in overcoming its systems because it comes from the cause of too much obstructions in the body. You will best support your body by cleaning up your diet (one of the major causes of obstructions in our lives, which is why so many illnesses are diet and lifestyle-related aka epigenetic), reducing stress, increasing bliss, and direct herbal intervention.

Cleaning up the diet: I would help someone with transitional menus following the guidelines of The Mucusless Diet Healing System. This will include progressively moving away from health-threatening foods at a pace which will allow mind-body-spirit alignment. So, it will allow one to really feel comfortable in making healthy choices for meals. "Cold turkey" methods are not often sustainable most times. Those with PCOS especially should make a permanent transition away from meat, dairy, eggs, regular use of oils, and regular eating of junk foods and highly processed foods. Those kinds of foods do not eliminate effectively and create a negative environment in the digestive tract (for example, this is why eliminating dairy will alleviate a lot of skin issues. The digestive tract is often a mirror for the skin). If I am able to work with someone to the point of centering their foods around fruit and vegetables (esp the leafy greens), the most amazing changes happen because the body will be supported in properly eliminating all the crud and obstruction from the lymph, tissues, and colon which are shifting the hormones out of balance. This is the difference between reducing and overcoming imbalances in the body.

Reducing stress: This one is key for PCOS because hormonal/reproductive issues are placed under strain by nervous tension. It would be good to start with a gentle & inspiring morning routine and a soothing nighttime routine to get out of the cycles of stress. A diet rich in whole plant foods will also help stress management (via the gut-brain connection/microbiome). Other actions towards stress reduction should eventually be practiced, such as singing, spending time in meaningful hobbies/flow states, inner work activities (to improve emotional intelligence), meditation & mindfulness, breathwork, sound healing, getting into nature, playing with a pet, and more laughter.

Increasing bliss: This overlaps a bit with the previous point. But this is particularly focused on nurturing self-care. Often, individuals with PCOS have trouble really focusing on investing in their health. It's best to focus on overturning self-destructive habits, which may be seemingly innocuous things, such as approaching most things in life with intensity, from one's career to exercise to even meditation. Taking an hour or two daily for doing absolutely nothing, or learning to live in a more sacred manner (if one is spiritually inclined) can bring you towards a deep friendship and respect with yourself.

Direct Herbal Intervention: The fruits and vegetables will be the most key herbs in this scenario. But additional herbs can certainly be used. I will not list any here because many of my go-tos will not suit everyone, especially if they have overlapping health issues. But I would want to support the liver, lymphatic flow, and nerves/emotional states. Flower essences (which are safe for everyone) are also great here for helping to relieve the psychological influences on the issues, such as resolving traumas and other blockages which would serve as blockages to implementing these lifestyle changes. Self-heal would be a nice choice, or whatever else one is intuitively drawn towards.

Thanks for asking! I hope I was able to help you😊🌼 signed, Lili

Managing IBS After a Stressful Period and Gallbladder Removal: The Power of Supplements and nature

Living with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) can be challenging, especially after experiencing a long and stressful period in life, coupled with the removal of the gallbladder. It took me two years to finally start managing the flare ups that have become my daily struggle in the past two years since i had my surgery. However, there is hope in managing IBS symptoms and finding relief. In this blog post, I will explore the benefits of specific supplements, such as omega-3, zinc, B-complex, B1, vitamin D, and magnesium citrate, and how they can help alleviate IBS flare-ups over time.

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for overall health and have been found to have anti-inflammatory properties. In the context of IBS, omega-3 can help reduce inflammation in the gut, which is often associated with flare-ups. Incorporating omega-3 supplements into your daily routine can potentially improve IBS symptoms, such as abdominal pain, bloating, and diarrhea. Adding the omega in my supplement routine made a huge difference in my overall health.My gut is happy.

Zinc is a vital mineral that plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, including digestion and immune system support. Studies have shown that individuals with IBS may have lower zinc levels, which can contribute to worsened symptoms. By supplementing with zinc, you can potentially restore the balance and alleviate IBS-related discomfort. The pharmacist suggested it to me several months ago calling it the supplement of the future. It helps with the healing and inflammation and enhances the benefits the other supplements are providing.

B vitamins, particularly B-complex, are essential for maintaining optimal gut health. These vitamins help convert food into energy, support the nervous system, and aid in the production of healthy red blood cells. When it comes to IBS, B-complex vitamins can help regulate digestion, reduce stress, and improve overall gut function. The one bellow I found to be the best.

B1, also known as thiamine, vitamin B1 is a crucial nutrient that supports the nervous system and helps convert carbohydrates into energy. In the context of IBS, B1 can help alleviate symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, and digestive issues. By supplementing with B1, individuals may experience improved energy levels and reduced IBS-related discomfort. It is also very effective if you are diagnosed with SIBO.

Vitamin D is not only essential for bone health but also plays a role in immune function and inflammation regulation. Studies have suggested a potential link between vitamin D deficiency and IBS symptoms. By ensuring adequate vitamin D levels through supplementation, individuals may experience reduced inflammation and improved IBS symptoms. My doctor measured my vitaamin D levels which were a bit on the low side and supplemented me with 5000u of vitamin D.

Magnesium is a mineral that plays a vital role in muscle relaxation and nerve function. In the context of IBS, magnesium citrate can help alleviate constipation, a common symptom experienced by individuals with IBS. By promoting regular bowel movements, magnesium citrate can provide relief and improve overall gut function. The Magnesium Citrate is gentle on the stomach lining and thats why this is the one that is recommended.

Digestive enzymes play a crucial role in our overall digestive health. These enzymes are responsible for breaking down the food we eat into smaller, more easily absorbable molecules that our body can utilize for energy and nourishment. Without sufficient digestive enzymes, our body may struggle to properly digest and absorb nutrients, leading to various digestive issues.

Digestive enzymes can help alleviate the symptoms of IBS by aiding in the breakdown of food and improving digestion. They can help break down complex carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, reducing the strain on the digestive system and minimizing discomfort. Additionally, digestive enzymes can enhance nutrient absorption, ensuring that the body receives the necessary vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients.

There are different types of digestive enzymes, each targeting specific types of food molecules. For example, amylase helps break down carbohydrates, protease aids in protein digestion, and lipase assists in the breakdown of fats. By supplementing with these enzymes, individuals with IBS can support their digestive system and control the flare ups.

In addition to incorporating digestive enzymes there are also benefit from making dietary and lifestyle changes. This may include following a low-FODMAP diet, which eliminates certain types of carbohydrates that can trigger IBS symptoms. Regular exercise, stress management techniques, and adequate hydration are also important for maintaining a healthy digestive system.

In conclusion, digestive enzymes play a vital role in supporting digestive health, and they can be particularly beneficial for individuals with IBS. By aiding in the breakdown of food and improving nutrient absorption, digestive enzymes can help alleviate symptoms and improve overall well-being. However, it’s essential to work with a healthcare professional to determine the appropriate use and dosage of digestive enzymes, as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for IBS.

Psyllium is a soluble fiber derived from the seeds of the Plantago ovata plant. It is commonly used as a dietary supplement and is known for its ability to promote regular bowel movements and relieve constipation. In the context of IBS, psyllium can help regulate bowel movements, reduce diarrhea, and alleviate abdominal discomfort. The fiber in psyllium absorbs water in the intestines, adding bulk to the stool and promoting healthy digestion. Additionally, psyllium can help regulate gut motility and improve overall gut health, which can be beneficial for individuals with IBS.

Managing IBS after a long stressful period and gallbladder removal can be challenging, but incorporating specific supplements into your daily routine can make a significant difference. Omega-3, zinc, B-complex, B1, vitamin D, and magnesium citrate all offer potential benefits in alleviating IBS symptoms over time. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen to ensure it is safe and suitable for your individual needs. Remember, finding relief from IBS is a journey, and with the right approach, you can regain control of your digestive health and improve your overall well-being.

Remember, managing IBS requires a comprehensive approach that may include dietary modifications, stress management, and other lifestyle changes in addition to potential supplements or treatments.

Good luck.🪷

Book Two of Hexed - The Fury of Zaun (Vi/POC!Reader) - Ch. 8

Next Upload Date: August 11th

Act 1: Chapter Eight - Let’s Get Down to Business

Warnings: Chemical Mind Control

Summary: It’s time to get the ball rolling on getting prepared for this war.

“And that’s why, Ms.Glasc, I believe you would benefit more from a contract with my company.” An old man with a beer gut sat in the chair across from Renata. You were lounging on the settee in her office as she does business. You showed up on one of her busy days, but you wanted this conversation to happen much sooner than planned. So, here you were all dolled up and laying underneath a blanket. Renata didn’t mind having you there as long as you didn’t interfere with any of her discussions.

The current one is bringing you great amusement. He spent the last hour speaking about his rival’s weaknesses as a company and gloating about his. He spoke nothing of how he could benefit Renata’s enterprise or why she could be a valuable asset to him. Not only that, but he seemed to be talking down to the woman. ‘Renata won’t take kindly to that. She doesn’t like being talked to like she doesn’t understand what’s being said.’

‘Renata reminds me of my mate. He was a very calculating Brackern that didn’t take kindly to humans speaking to him like he didn’t understand.’

‘What did he do to those humans?’ You tilt your head.

‘Killed them, of course, my child.’ Umbra scoffs.

‘I thought the Brackern were peaceful?’ Confusion forces you to pay more attention to her. ‘You and Iesura told me that your species is peaceful.’

‘Even peaceful creatures can resort to violence if necessary.’ You cover your mouth to stop a giggle from escaping. You enjoyed that your companions were constantly surprising you with new information. It made you happy that they decided to refrain from telling you everything.

“So, do we have a deal, Ms.Glasc?” The grubby voice of the man reaches your ears.

“Renata, you’re not seriously considering a deal with this man, are you?” You call from your position on the settee. The man whirls around so quickly that he almost falls out of his chair. Renata raises an eyebrow at you as her eyes settle on your form.

“How long have you been there, Miss?” The man sputters in surprise. You smile coyly and gracefully stand up from the couch. The blanket falls away to reveal your short dress and tall heels. You approach the desk, keeping a close eye on how the man stares at your legs as you walk.

“All day, Sir.” You chirp playfully and lean against the desk, “And I must say, you’re quite a horrid businessman.”

“I-I beg your pardon?” He spits.

“Respectfully, Sir. You wasted my associate’s time. She’s a very busy woman and doesn’t have time for meetings like this. You’ve been an excellent test subject though, so thank you for that.” You smile pleasantly.

“Please sign the deal and be on your way.” Renata’s voice sounds from behind you. The man picks up his pen and signs on the line before excusing himself and leaving the room. Your eyes flicker down to the document and you chuckle seeing that he signed for a 60-40 split of the profits.

“Hexxit.” Renata’s voice rumbles in warning. You turn to her with a sweet smile as she puts her pen down, “You interrupted.”

“You’re welcome.” You purr, “Now we can get to our business… What can you tell me about the Shimmer project?”

“My chemists have found the right distillation process to get rid of the side effects of the drug. Our test subjects show that it has lost its addictive nature but improved its healing factor. They had to reduce the impact it has on the receptors in the brain and stimulate other parts to counteract that.” Renata leans back in her chair, “The new variant of Shimmer is strictly a health potion and a stimulant like you requested.” You grin and give her a kiss on the cheek in thanks.

“I knew I could count on you.” You hum contentedly, “How soon can we distribute this to the people?”

“Give it one more week of testing and you can personally greenlight the distribution.” Renata motions for you to sit and you do, “Now, about you using my chemicals for your little group… You will owe me for this.” She says firmly.

“I thought I was going that by being a cute little guinea pig for you? This will be the first time it’s being used actively for chem-tech. Aren’t you curious as to how it’ll perform?” You lean closer to her to whisper, “Curious as to how deadly it can be?”

“I am aware of how deadly it can be.” Renata gives you a predatory smile, “I’ve tested it personally… but I am curious as to how it’ll work with your wing designs. Bring me extensive information on it, and consider it repaid… Although, I don’t need to warn you about the consequences should you fail?”

“My darling, Renata!” You gasp in fake surprise, “You would think to kill little ol’ me? How evil of you!” You cackle as Renata chuckles.

“Your attitude is a breath of fresh air from those stuffy nobles.” Renata says as she flips through her papers, “You will attend the Summer Gala with me.” She tells you. You hum and watch as her eyes roam the page in front of her.

“Prepare for the whispers and stares, then. My alternate identity in Piltover is not one to overlook.” You smirk. Renata looks up to you and it’s then you realize that she’s smirking.

“I’m counting on it, pet.”

“Knock, knock, girls!” You announce as you skip into the Roost. Boxes of stuff stamped with Silco’s symbol were littered around the area. At the center of it all is your group of friends sorting through the mess.

“Hiya, Hexxit!” Jinx chirps as she tosses a smoke bomb into a box. ‘Doing things with reckless abandon as always.’ You zero in on the blue-haired firecracker and give her the widest grin as your excitement floods through you. You and Ekko worked all night to finish the weapon, so you were running off of no sleep whatsoever.

“Today you all start your training. I heard Jinx has finished your weapons, so it’s perfect timing. I’m sure you’re all excited to test out your new weapons.” You bounce on the balls of your feet, “You’ll be starting off with just hand-to-hand, and once you get it down, then we’ll move to fighting with weapons.”

“Damn right, we are!” Auvern grins at you, “We’ve all got new weapons!” You notice that the smile on Jinx’s face drops slightly, but it only makes you more excited. You hear Ekko’s footsteps as he approaches from behind you.

“That’s right.” Ekko smirks as he stops beside you, “You’ve all got new weapons.” He exaggerates and you exchange a glance. Jinx’s frown only gets deeper and she shuffles her feet in a way that shows she’s feeling insecure.

“Hey, Jinx.” Ekko calls to her. Jinx looks over and gives the bag in his hands a curious glance, “Catch!” Ekko shouts as he tosses the bag to her. Her eyes widen as she nabs the bag from the air and opens it. Everyone watches in silence as she pulls out the folded gun. More confused looks are given to you and your brother.

“There’s a latch. Unhook it.” You say to her. Jinx studies the item in her hand before finding and pulling on the latch. Gasps echo around the room as the sniper rifle unfolds in her grasp. A squeal leaves Jinx’s lips as she goes starry-eyed over the weapon. It was completely redone with your personal metal, giving it a bluish-grey hue, along with being decorated in a Jinx-approved way. Where the Kiramman crest used to be on the stock is Jinx’s monkey bomb.

“Like I said.” You and your brother lean against each other with cocky grins, “You’ve all got new weapons. Do you know how hard it was to make it completely silent?” You joke. Jinx practically leaps out of her seat and runs over to hug you. You let out a grunt as she jumps and throws her arms around you two, knocking your heads together.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you!” Jinx squeals in excitement.

“What are you going to name this one?” Sevika asks as she stands up. Jinx looks down at it and shrugs.

“We’ll see what it wants to be called!” Comes Jinx’s eccentric reply.

You sit on the banister and watch the group below you. Early in the week, you asked Sevika if she’d train the other girls so they’re prepared for combat. You had heard about Sevika’s harsh way of training when you had been doing sensual massages at the brothel. You’d be the one teaching the girls about the flight wings, so you wanted to have someone else do the other half. With Sevika doing it, it gave them more of a chance to bond and it gave Sevika some stress relief.

The crystalline dummies sparkle in the sunlight and seem so out of place. You didn’t want something that would break easily. The whole point of this training is to make sure they’re strong enough. Everyone is dressed in their mission outfits, weapons hidden on their person, and spread out on the field. You knew this was going to be a rough month but you knew they’d make it through.

“Training begins today, does it not?” You snap your head to the side in alarm. Janna’s sky-blue eyes meet yours as you stare at her in shock. You didn’t even sense her like you usually do! You blink and shake your head to force your thoughts to clear.

“Yes. Yes, it does.” You clear your throat. ‘This is the first time I’ve been surprised by someone in a while. It’s a bit… jarring. Was I too deep in thought?’

“Excellent! I’m curious as to how humans train each other. I’ve seen a few things in passing, but never in full. Befriending you has brought a lot of interesting things to my life.” The wind spirit giggles happily as she peers down at the group. You watch as Sevika says something and Fue rushes toward her. They fight for a few seconds before you watch as the little fox gets tossed into the lake. You laugh as Fue pouts and shakes out her hair. The others take a step back.

“I’ve entrusted them to Sevika for this section. She’s a formidable fighter in hand-to-hand combat and with weapons. I want them to be comfortable getting up close and personal.” You grin. Janna nods her head and you watch as Auvern rushes forward this time. She manages to hold out a few seconds longer than Fue before she finds herself in the lake.

“Are you sure they can hold out?” Janna tilts her head as Landon goes flying this time.

“I’m positive they can.” You say as Jinx manages to successfully land a blow on Sevika. You smile in amusement as she follows the other three as well.

“YOU’RE NOT EVEN TRYING!” Jinx screams in frustration as she squeezes the water out of her braids, “YOU PULLED THAT PUNCH!” You couldn’t hear Sevika’s response from up here but the silent groans from the girls spoke volumes. ‘I should sit on a closer bridge next time.’ You chuckle in amusement.

Your eyes flit back and forth as the girls work together to land hits on Sevika. You can tell that they’ve been practicing in their free time. They were still working on hand-to-hand combat, but you gave them permission to practice with their weapons in private. Thin crystal disks hang underneath the bridges so they could be used as target practice. Iesura coached you on how to make regenerating crystals. Apparently, it was an old ability that the Brackern used to fix their exoskeletons. It took a few days of constantly trying, but you managed to do it.

Sevika kicks Torx in the chest and she slams into Zara. You wince as they fall over and the others move in. ‘I might have to ask Scar to come help. Jinx has amazing flexibility and that assists her fighting like it does for me.’ You watch as Jinx tries to punch Sevika, but she keeps on blocking her. Jinx ducks under one of Sevika’s swings and moves closer to her making you frown. ‘She’s inside her range now. You don’t want to get that close unless you know the person’s next move.’ Your thoughts were confirmed as Jinx got headbutted and staggered backward.

“Wait, can you say that again?” You pause and glance back at Vi. She looks up from her push-ups and sighs as she stops.

“When you’re in a fight, don’t get within their range unless you know their patterns.” Vi stands up and gets into position. She slowly moves forward and extends her arm out, “Keep them at the edge of yours. Move in and out quickly, but never stay inside their reach for too long. It could mean life and death.”

You close your eyes as tears quickly gather. ‘Damn it.’ You curse and wipe the tears away. ‘I can’t even think about her without crying. It’s almost worse that she’s alive because she’s out of my reach from her own decisions.’ You glance down at your wrist and gently rub the tattoo. You found yourself doing that when you thought about her.

“Hexxit!” You look up at Jinx’s voice and see her waving at you. You raise an eyebrow and drop down onto the platform, before heading over to them.

“What’s up?” You tilt your head. Sevika shrugs and the next thing you know, everyone is rushing at you with their weapons. Your eyes widen as you sink into a fighting stance but a grin settles on your lips. ‘Poor choice, girls.’ You giggle to yourself.

It doesn’t take long for them to end up groaning in pain on the ground. You straighten up and cross your arms with a smirk, “Who thought that was a good idea?” You tease them.

“It was a group decision.” Zara groans, “A bad decision.”

“I didn’t know pressure points could hurt this much.” Fue whines as she tries to sit up.

“You’re a monster!” Jinx complains, “Now I understand why you always hold back in our fights. This wasn’t fun at all!”

“Agreed.” Sevika grumbles, rubbing her shoulder in hopes to get the feeling back.

“Agreed!” The other girls repeat making you laugh.

“This is why I asked Sevika to do it.” You put your hands on your hips, “You have a chance with her at least. I’ve trained for years, guys, and that was before I got my magic.” The girls start throwing swear words at you, cursing out whoever taught you how to fight, and complaining that it wasn’t fair. You shake your head with a fond smile. ‘If my uncle heard you saying that, you’d be leaving with welts from his wooden staff.’

“Straighten out your back!” You yelp and do as you were told before the staff could hit you. You felt the air across your back from where he stopped it and let out a sigh of relief. Another yelp leaves your lips as a stinging pain erupts from your arm. You jolt and grab the place he hit you, “You didn’t say go!” You accuse him.

“I warned you that I wouldn’t.” Professor Uley chuckles as he stops in front of you, “Remember, your enemies aren’t going to warn you. They’re going to attack when they think your guard is down. Never let it be down.”

“Warlord, General, Sir!” A feminine voice calls from behind him. He pauses his writing and places the pen down. He stands and turns to see his lieutenant waiting there in a traditional Noxian salute.

“At ease, lieutenant.” He chuckles and watches as she relaxes, “What information do you have for me?”

“Your messenger hawk has arrived and is circling the camp for you, General Pyre.”

“Ah, thank you. I was wondering when he’d return.” General Pyre nods in thanks. He glances over his report before heading for the entrance of the tent.

“Tell me, how is everyone settling? I know the jungle can be a dreary place.” General Pyre inquires.

“Morality is high, Sir. The troops are ecstatic to be out of Noxus and away from Swain’s reach.” She says with joy in her voice. General Pyre smiles as the edge of the aura around her turns a solid white.

“I’m glad to hear that morale is high, but we are not out of Swain’s reach. As long as we can see the sky, his ravens may find us.” General Pyre looks up at the sky to see his hawk circling. His vision flashes, briefly seeing himself from above, before it refocuses. A screech echoes through the air as his hawk dives down towards him. He extends his arm and the red-tailed hawk grasps onto his gauntlet.

“Sir, should you have told us about Swain’s ravens?” She clears her throat nervously, “Wouldn’t that put you in danger?”

“If it is a matter of life or death that can affect you, I will not hide it. Your lives are under my care. You swore yourselves to my House under your own volition. I will not allow your lives to be tampered with.” General Pyre says sternly but with an underlying tenderness not usually seen in a Warlord, “My life is constantly in danger and it has been that way before Swain. I am the only man who can rival him, but even he does not know this fact.” His hawk lets out a squawk and flaps its wings in agitation. He gives the bird an exasperated glance and it stares at him in return. With a sigh, he removes the rolled-up message and Spear Hunter takes off to rest.

“Impatient bird.” General Pyre mutters as he unrolls the message.

“What does it say, Sir?” His lieutenant gives him a questioning glance. The dangerous smile slowly spreading across his lips unnerves her.

“It looks like my niece has more surprises for me, just as I have for her.” General Pyre chuckles. The letter was quite a rich one with the hidden message of a coming war in Piltover-Zaun being instigated by her own hands. He couldn’t wait to return to the isthmus to see the young girl he had taken under his wing. They have much to talk about and he could finally share his secret with her and her younger brother. Y/n had truly become his niece in every way but blood, and he didn’t want to lose either of them.

One by one, each girl manages to hold their own against Sevika. They were improving fast with the rough training you’ve been putting them through. You requested that Scar come help with training and ended up with the whole crew instead. It was hilarious watching Heather and Scar dance circles around them without breaking a sweat. Every day consisted of flexibility stretches, stamina runs, and hand-to-hand combat. All you were waiting for was Sevika’s approval and they’d be moving to proper weapon training. It’s been three weeks since they started and you’ve been doing your own practices. Ekko has been coming by every morning to continue practicing together and today is the day you’re going to show off your mechanical wings.

Standing atop the cliff, you turn to see Ekko clearing the edge and dropping down from his hoverboard.

“Hey, little brother!” You grin and give him a fist bump.

“Hey, big sis!” Ekko grins back as he docks his hoverboard, “So, why are we up this high? Usually, we practice much lower.”

“I made my own device to fly around.” You wink at him, “And I want to show it off to you.”

“Sweet! Where is it?” Ekko glances around and gives you a confused look when he doesn’t see anything. You give him a mischievous smile and turn your back to him. The wind blows the metal cape and you feel the device on your back get slightly heavier. You hear Ekko gasp as the vibrations of its opening and spreading apart ripple across your back. There’s a sudden sense in your mind that tells you it’s ready to go.

“Holy shit!” Ekko shouts. You giggle and glance back at your brother who’s staring at you like you blew up the sun.

“I created the metal for it!” You rush out in excitement. You start babbling about how you made it to him. Ekko listens to you speak with laser-focused attention, only interrupting you to ask more questions. You detail the process of figuring out the metal, playing with the design, and the painful process of making the dream a reality.

“After you show me, I want to try! Please, please, please, please, pleeassee?!” Ekko begs and you giggle as you’re reminded of when you woke up.

A low humming caught your attention and you look up to see a person fly right past you with a wave. The green streaks that you had seen were a product of the board they’re on! Your jaw drops as they cruise up to one of the platforms on the tree.

“Ekko…” You gasp out, “What was that, and how do I get one?!” You grab your brother by the shoulders and shake him, “How do I get one?!” Ekko just laughs.

“You can have one of your own, silly.” You punch his shoulder playfully, “Now, watch this!” You squeal and take off from the ground. The wind whips at your face as you circle around Ekko who has the widest grin. Reading your thoughts, the thrusters flare and you spin faster, shooting up into the air before diving over the cliff’s edge. You let the feeling take over you as you spin and dance through the air. You’ve been practicing extensively at night with Janna and you got the hang of it. You hear Ekko’s cheering and land with a slightly breathless laugh.

“Oh, it’s soooo my turn!” Ekko shouts as he runs to you. You pull his set of wings out of a rift and motion for him to turn around. He eagerly spins around and you remove his hoverboard before fitting the wings onto his jacket. You grab the receiver and press it to his temple, the little crystalline object glittering like an earring.

“So, let me explain how to use it. The little receiver will pick up the thoughts that are specifically for the wings. They’ll function like regular wings with a few extra additions.” You pull one of your wings forward, “The edges of the feathers are blades, so when they pivot a specific way, they can be used as a weapon.” You demonstrate by brushing your finger along the edge and showing it to him.

“Woah, has your blood always looked like that?” Ekko leans closer in interest.

“No, it was redder than this, but after I absorbed those crystals it got darker.” You wipe the drop of blood away with a shrug, “It’s something I’m still studying.”

“Now, go ahead and give it a try.” You step out of his way, “Janna is on standby to catch you if anything goes wrong, and I’ll be there as well.”

“Promise?” Ekko gives you a nervous smile.

“I promise, little brother.” You nudge him affectionately, “Now, let us take a dive!” You cheer and throw yourself off of the cliff once more.

“SISSSYYYY!” Ekko screams after you, “WAAAAIT!” You giggle to yourself when you see him come falling over the edge. You watch as he tries to orient himself before a gust of wind zips past you to catch him. You follow the wind to him and correct his shoulders.

“You want to use your shoulder muscles. Pretend like the wings are really yours. Flex the muscles here and here, and it’ll work with you.” You point out the areas and pull back from him.

“You could have told me that before I tossed myself off a cliff.” Ekko says dryly. You give him an innocent smile.

“I forgot.” You chuckle nervously, “Besides, Janna is here to assist us as I said.” You can feel her presence in the air and curiously wonder why she hasn’t appeared.

“Right.” Ekko nods to himself, “I can do this. I built a hoverboard and learned how to fly it. I can do this easily.” He tries to hype himself up and it makes you smile. Without warning, Ekko’s wings shift and he goes zipping upwards in a sloppy spiral. You monitor his movements, catching him when necessary or softly requesting that Janna slow him down when he goes too fast.

The wind spirit still hasn’t shown herself, but you didn’t want to mention it yet. Something told you that she was doing it for a reason.

Slowly, the three of you make your way closer to the ground. Ekko was rapidly learning how to control his wings. He copies your movements, getting a feel for the controls, and watching him do that brings you joy. For a while, Ekko was the one taking care of you. Now, you’re able to take care of him like you should’ve been doing.

“Hey, Kiko? Why don’t I make curry tonight and you stay over? It’s been a while since we’ve been able to have a warm meal together.” You glide closer to him as you clear the treetop.

“Eggplant curry?” Ekko gives you a hopeful look.

“No, mom’s fish curry.” You say seriously.

“WHAAAAT?!” Ekko shrieks and it stretches out from him dropping unintentionally, “No! No, no, no! Please don’t make mom’s fish curry! I still can’t forget the taste!” Ekko gags. You follow him down as you laugh hysterically.

“Oh, my Gods! Your reaction was better than I thought it would be!” You laugh harder, “No, I’m not making mom’s fish curry.” You wipe away the tears that gathered in your eyes.

“Oh thank the Gods!” Ekko shouts in relief, “I thought I was going to have to create an excuse to leave.” He chuckles weakly. The sounds of fighting from below you are barely reaching your ears at this point.

“No, I hated that dish too. I’m glad it’ll never be on our table again.” You sigh while slowly spinning in a circle with him, “I’m making eggplant curry. If we have basil at the Firelight base, I’ll put some in there too.”

“FUCKING TAP OUT ALREADY, DAMN IT!” Landon’s screaming reaches up to you three, making you glance down. You were close enough to the ground where you can see them clearly fighting. Landon was being led around by Fue who kept evading her attacks.

“Hey, Sis.” Ekko grabs your attention, “From this height, how long do you think it would be until I needed to stop to avoid hitting the ground?” You tilt your head and look back down.

“Uum…” Your mind races to calculate the answer, “At top speed, without Janna’s propulsion? 10 seconds.” You turn to him questioningly, “Why?” Ekko flashes you a mischievous grin.

“SEE YOU AT THE BOTTOM!” Ekko screams as he takes off. Panic rushes through you at the action.

“EKKO!” You scream after him, hurriedly following him as your heart pounds in your chest. ‘Janna, if you can hear me, please catch him before he can hurt himself!’ You watch as Ekko breaks roughly, his feet hitting the ground hard and forcing him to stumble. A worried shout leaves your lips as he loses his balance. You break, feet hitting the ground as Janna appears in front of him just in time to catch him.

“Are you alright, gentle whirlwind?” Janna questions Ekko as he stands back up. She backs away slightly, hands nervously smoothing out her dress as she does.

“I-I’m fine. I underestimated myself there.” Ekko laughs nervously, a blush on his face as he glances at you.

“You must be careful. Your sister nearly fell out of the sky when you did so.” Janna scolds him. Ekko blinks in shock but lets out a yelp when you tug his ear.

“Siiiis!” He whines as you hug him.

“You really are my brother.” You sigh as you let him go, “You nearly gave me a heart attack.”

“You did the same to me four years ago.” Ekko crosses his arms, “I’m just returning the favor.”

“What was THAAT?!” Torx shouts in surprise, making the three of you turn to the group. Shocked and surprised facial expressions greet you causing you to pause. You glance at Ekko who shrugs as Janna lets out a squeak and vanishes. ‘Oh… she’s shy.’ You giggle to yourself. ‘I’ll have to talk to her about it.’

“I told you there was going to be another way to get around!” You grin at them, spinning to show off the wings, “Who wants to try it out?”
