AYCF Chapter 19: The Brothers Apart
Chapter Art by: @bananadramaaa
We have arrived... at the fated chapter that marks the beginning of the end. One set of dialogue inspired the entire chapter.
Belos: Caleb, you would stab me in the back?!
Luz: You did it to him first.
🕯️ ~Shout outs ~ 🕯️
Once again, thank you to my Beta squad for beta-reading this chapter every time I made an edit to it!
Also, @bananadramaaa , you have, once again, blown my mind with this phenomenal chapter art, like I can't get over how freaking amazing it is!

Can you do a part 3 of babysitting a horseboy?
Home Is Where The Horse Is
(Part 3 of "Babysitting A Horse Boy". Part 2 is here).
"You can do this, Philip," Miss. Clawthorne said, her gentle voice filled with encouragement as she and her husband were at the side of Philip in the sitting room, their hands on his shoulder to show their utmost support.
During dinner, when Philip told Miss. Clawthorne that Mr. Clawthorne had helped him carve his new palisman, she was most enthused by the news.
Both parents were eager to watch him bring his new friend to life.
"Your greatest desire," Mr. Clawthorne chimed in. "Like we talked about at the table."
"Right," Philip said with a whisper, letting out a deep breath as he held his dried palisman in the palms of his hands.
He was determined to bond with his newly carved companion, and the only way to do so was by sharing his truest and deepest wish and creating a proper connection.
Shutting his eyes, Philip began speaking once more.
"My wish... I wish... I want...," he exhaled his nervousness and began to focus on his words rather than the delivery of them.
"All I want," Philip quietly said. "Is to be liked and wanted."
Once those words were released into the atmosphere, Philip's palisman began to emit a soft glow as it suddenly sprang to life.
Standing on all fours, Lucky let out a small snort from their soft nostrils, swinging their tail freely with a friendly smile on their lips.
Once Philip opened his eyes that were clenched tight with anticipation, Lucky took the shape of a staff.
The brunette felt his jaw drop when the staff fell in his palms.
When he squeezed it, he felt the wood grain against his skin.
Although the staff was a bit heavy, Philip was able to keep it in his grasp without dropping it.
Blue eyes then began to sparkle.
Lucky was his pal, and Philip was so excited to take them wherever he went in life.
"Welcome home, Lucky," Philip greeted with a gentle smile, using his finger to rub the side of Lucky's body with care.
"It's great to finally meet you. My second wish is for us to become the best of friends.
As they watched Philip happily twirl his new partner close to his chest as said partner neighed in delight from the affection, Mr. and Miss. Clawthorne held on to each other to keep from getting choked up with tears.
They've seen dozens of witches react to their palisman before, including their daughter and each other, but it was still so special to see Philip react and bond with his.
The sight brought joy to both their hearts.

Feeding the goodest boi the best part of the (c)hex mix. (And I refuse to hear otherwise)
Alt colors~⬇️
Now that I'm all caught up, I'm actually going to lower the frequency of posts to just 1 per week instead of 4 or even 2 like it was before. There's just a lot of personal and larger projects I want to work on right now (and I wanna have more time for hobbies outside of art, lol)
