Title - Earthen Memory
Rating - G
Word Count - 36
Summary (and any warnings) - Kalasin is leaving for her arranged marriage in Carthak, she takes a piece of home with her.
Notes

Not one person on the ship commented on her lingering by the shore, nor on the pouch of dirt clutched firmly in Kalasin’s hand as the faint outline of her new life flickered on the horizon.

Aww. Great use of description here - I especially like "the faint outline of her new life flickered on the horizon".

Magic is akin to the human soul, and also to the cataclysms of the deepest earth, and also to the stars. It is like the enigma which separates a dead rock from living coral. I mean, very plainly, that magic is akin to the questions we ask, not to the answers we possess. You cannot calculate or determine what magic will do. You cannot use magic to answer a problem. But you can use magic to ask for a solution.

A lovely mixture of sadness but also a little bit of hope.

purplepotatoblob: oof um I'm sorry to bother but do we just post our fics here or something? I'm like so hopeless I suck at this stuff Jul 22, 2021 19:20:49 GMT 10

Kypriotha: purplepotatoblob you can also post non-event fic at any time in the Fanworks board. There should be some posting rules (i.e. for ratings) in the Fanworks board too. Jul 26, 2021 17:52:29 GMT 10

Kypriotha: purplepotatoblob: the News and Rules board, and Suggestions and Support board, also help posts/threads with helpful information. Otherwise, feel free to ask away if they don't answer your questions! Jul 26, 2021 17:54:11 GMT 10 *
