Mind, my works are nothing to absolutely shout about, and they sometimes border on the mundane (though charming). I hope everyone enjoys? Almost all the stories I have written has a little bit of art to go with it, and vice versa. So without anymore delays, have at thee~
First one's a small bit of writing I did for my RP comm, we were asked to write a poignant moment in our character's history, and I thought Alrek (my Breton) attending his father's funeral was fitting. If albeit macabre ahaha...

And so they read prayers and sang songs, recited eulogies and cried about the days long past. But the late Lord's children were all huddled at the back of the service.
Lillie, the eldest, beckoned for her two brothers-- Basille; a strong knight, so full of purpose and duty, a man whose strength not only lay in swordplay, but also in valor. She beckoned for Alrek, a studious scholar, always left amazed at the vast wonders of the world, so eager to know everything there was.
When they came before her, she embraced them, and their arms too, enveloped each other.
"Blood is thicker than water," she told them, her tears held back, but her voice cracking, "So please don't fight any more. Promise me, you two."
Alrek and Basille looked to each other-- suddenly the petty arguments meant nothing. Suddenly the frayed kinship between them renewed.
It was Alrek who broke the silence, "I promise."
"As do I."
