Leaving It All Behind

Summary: During the victory celebration, you seek out Zevlor to tell him of your intention to leave behind the life you once knew.

You find him at the edge of camp, standing barefoot where the sand meets the water. His boots have been discarded, placed neatly behind him against the rocks. Gentle waves lap against his bare feet, toes digging into the soft, wet sand. Zevlor’s head is turned to the sky when you approach, molten eyes watching the stars. There’s a small smile on his lips as he slowly turns his head from left to right, taking it all in. The celebration is still ongoing around you, tieflings and fellow druids (those who stood by the tieflings against Kagha) alike share in wine, ale and laughter. But you find yourself drawn to their leader who stands isolated from the rest.

As you come to stand at his side, you turn your head to the sky and join him in stargazing. The two of you gaze at the night sky for a while in comfortable silence until Zevlor turns his attention to you.

“Beautiful, aren’t they?” he asks.

Oblivious to the way his eyes soften as he takes you in, you nod in agreement.

“Yes, they are. You must have missed the sight of them during your time in Avernus,” you muse. “I imagine there are no stars in the Hells.”

Zevlor hums. “None at all, I’m afraid. None like the ones here, at least.”

Out of the corner of your eye, you see the tiefling smile a little, molten eyes studying you.

“In truth,” he continues, “There was a time when I thought I would never see the stars again.”

Then, a warm, calloused hand grazes your own and your heart flutters.

You hadn’t known Zevlor for long, but from the moment he led his people to the Grove, you felt an undeniable connection between the two of you. As he came to Halsin seeking protection, seeking shelter against the chaos of the world around him, you knew in some way that you were destined to help him. Much to your fellow Druids’ dismay, you were always eager to help those in need no matter the cost. A flaw, Kagha said, a weakness. She turned her back on the tieflings the moment Halsin left in search of the Nightsong, but not you.

You defied her will by showing them kindness when no one else would. You rose early, before dawn, to hunt and gather food for them to ensure they remained full. The first time you brought venison already skinned and portioned to Zevlor, he stood before you speechless. In all your years, you had never watched someone as composed as he come close to tears.

He had taken the meat and the pelts with endless thanks that spanned days later.

And so you continued to support him and his people, supplying them with whatever the needed, regardless of Kagha’s cruelty towards you for it. This support led to a great deal of time spent with the older tiefling, time that brought you closer together. Close enough that you can’t help the warmth flooding through you at the slightest touch.

“Shouldn’t you be celebrating?” Zevlor asks after a while.

“Hm?”

“I thought you’d want to partake in the festivities after a well deserved victory.”

With a shrug, you fold your arms across your chest.

“I’ve had my fill for the evening. Too much wine and I’ll end up wildshaping into an owlbear, scaring off my newfound friends,” you say with a laugh.

Zevlor smiles at this. “That would be quite a sight.”

“For you, perhaps. But not, I think, for the rest of the camp.”

“You never know.”

Shaking your head, you hold his gaze as you share a moment of laughter.

“I have to ask,” he begins. “If you are done with the celebrations, why seek me out tonight? There are plenty of others more deserving of your attention than I.”

You’re not sure if you should be offended or flattered by his words. If not for the gentle tone of his voice, you might have wondered whether he enjoyed your company or wanted you to leave him be.

“Are you trying to get rid of me, Zevlor?” you tease.

The corner of his eyes wrinkle as he shakes his head and reaches a hand towards your face. He takes a strand of loose hair fallen from your updo and tucks it neatly behind your pointed ear.

“I would never do such a thing,” he says softly. “I just wanted to know why you’d spend your evening with an old tiefling like me when there is far more merriment to be had with the others.”

“You’re hardly old, Zevlor. Do you have any idea how old I am?”

“I wouldn’t dare to guess for fear of insulting you,” he laughs.

Rolling your eyes, you bump your shoulder against his playfully.

“Regardless, how I choose to spend my time and who I choose to spend my time with is my business. And tonight, I choose to spend my time with you. That is to say, if you’ll have me?”

Zevlor’s hand moves from your ear, fingers gently brushing against your cheek before his arm falls to his side once more.

“I most certainly will. In fact, I have come to welcome your company these past days.”

Heat floods your cheeks and you pray to Silvanus that he doesn’t notice.

“That is…a relief to hear, truly,” you say, a little breathless. “Then what I came to say to you will be much easier.”

His brows raise, interest piqued. “Oh?”

“I’ve decided that I want to come with you to Baldur’s Gate. I want to join you and your people and help you navigate the way forward. I know it won’t be easy but I know the path better than most. I can help you.”

“But…what about the Grove? What about your people?”

“They were never my people. Halsin brought me to the Emerald Grove when I was just an elfling. A child, in truth. A child who became as much of an outsider as any who came across them. If it weren’t for Halsin’s kindness, I would have been cast out by Kagha and her ilk.”

Your voice spits venom as you speak her name. The elf in question never truly accepted you into the Grove the way Halsin did. She could sense something in you that she distrusted. Something that drove her to all but ignore you these past several decades. In doing so, in showing her distrust, she brought about the same feeling in the others. Few of the other Druids trusted you after that.

“No,” you continue. “The Grove was never my home, and its people were never my people. I have wanted to leave it behind for some time but there was never a chance to do so before now. Before you. I have never felt more…wanted than I have by you, Zevlor. You and your people have shown me more kindness in the past tenday than the Druids have in the past ten years. The least I can do is repay you by helping you on your journey to the city.”

Zevlor is quiet. His eyes bore into your own as he considers your words. The flames of his irises seem to burn into you with such ferocity you think you might catch fire. Then he reaches for your hand. Fingers lace with yours as he pulls you a little closer.

“You don’t have to do this, you know?”

Sighing, relieved, you nod. “I know. That’s why I want to.”

“Then you will be the most welcome company on the journey ahead of us.”

When you're typing so fast and the words get mixed together, spelled differently, with five tousand spelling errors, so it looks like you're writing in Old English.

Swapped pt.4

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 5

“This would be so much easier if you just tell us where you live!” Friend groaned in the driver’s seat.

“I can’t tell you that! For my safety and my teams!” Smallest Teammate said defiantly from the backseat.

“We’ve been driving in circles for 45 minutes! And you’re forgetting we’re ALSO MISSING SOMEONE!” Friend yelled back.

“I don’t want to get kidnapped again! You guys could give away my address and make my team relocate again!”

“Technically, we already have kidnapped you. It’s just probably not your… usual.” Other Friend said.

“And besides, if we wanted to kidnap you, we would’ve been INTERROGATING YOU BY NOW!” Friend yelled.

“You ARE interrogating me! This is a kidnapping!” Smallest Teammate gasped.

“If you’re so scared, why don’t you CALL YOUR TEAM AND WE CAN GET THIS OVER WITH?!”

“I don’t have a phone and neither does my team!!”

“That’s exactly why stuff like this keeps happening to you!!!”

“Both of you stop it!” Other Friend said. “This is the loudest this car’s ever been, and with a stranger in it too!”

Other Friend pointed their finger at Friend. “You’re at a 10, you need to bring it to a 5… maybe a 3 because it’s you.”

They then turned around and directed their words to Smallest Teammate. “Listen, we’re not trying to kidnap you, we’re trying to get you to safety. However, we’re also missing someone and we need the chance to look for them. Can you please tell us at least the neighborhood you live in so we could maybe drop you off at the front?”

Smallest Teammate shook their head. “I don’t wanna get kidnapped again. And I don’t live in a neighborhood, I live on a street.”

“Ugggh!” Friend groaned.

“Well… it’s a start.” Other Friend sighed, with a little bit of optimism “Friend, drive around some streets and we’ll see if any of them belong to Smallest Teammate.”

“We’re probably gonna end up driving past the one they live in several times because they won’t TELL US ANYTHING!”

“Again with the yelling! Stop it!” Other Friend ordered. Friend let out an angry sigh and focused back on the road. The car was in silence for some time before Other Friend’s phone began to buzz in their pocket. Upon checking it, it revealed Civilian’s name flashing on the screen.

“Oh my god! They answered finally!” Other Friend said as they pressed the green answer button.

Civilian’s voice came through almost immediately. They sounded panicked. “Hello???”

“Civilian! Where are you? Where were you? Where did you go? Me and Friend were looking everywhere for you!”

“I’m being interrogated please help-!” They said.

Other Friend blinked, trying to process. Friend, who was listening, loudly exclaimed, “I’m sorry, WHAT?”

“Yeah uh… I zoned out, like you guys told me not to, and ended up getting into a stranger’s car and I thought I was with you guys but I realized too late that I wasn’t and they also realized I wasn’t their… god, what did they keep calling me?” Civilian explained.

The wheels in Other Friend’s mind were starting to turn.

Oh boy…

“Civilian, did they perhaps keep calling you uh…” They looked to the backseat, “Smallest Teammate?”

“Yes! That was it! They thought I was that and I thought they were you guys. Then when they realized I wasn’t… whoever, one of them tased me and-“

Friend gasped and yelled over the phone “You got tased?!?”

Smallest Teammate, now just realizing what was happening, started cackling. “Oh god this is the funniest kidnapping I’ve had!”

Civilian’s voice was heard again. “Who was that?”

Other Friend sighed, “We might’ve accidentally swapped you with that… Smallest Teammate person…”

The phone went silent, which the three could only assume was Civilian putting the pieces together. Finally, they said “Screw you guys, damnit!”

Friend and Smallest Teammate both burst out laughing. “This is not funny! I’ve been interrogated for that past half hour about this ‘Whumper’ guy that I literally have never heard of!” Civilian argued.

Other Friend chuckled; this was kind of funny. “Okay well, Smallest Teammate is being particularly stubborn and not giving us the place we can drop them off at. Do you know where you are?”

Civilian tried to answer, but started panicking. “Oh god, they’re coming back!”

“Wait, who’s coming back?”

The sound of someone potentially kicking down a door was faintly heard through the phone. Civilian whimpered and hung up.

Friend and Other Friend call their name but once the call ended without an answer, they both groaned loudly.

Smallest Teammate was trying to stifle their giggles in the backseat. Eventually, they spoke. “Don’t worry, I’ll give you my address now.”

Friend nearly slammed on the breaks. “Wait, really?”

“Yeah, from what I’ve heard, it is not fun to be interrogated by my Team Leader.” Smallest Teammate said.

One day you think: I want to die. And then you think, very quietly, actually I want a coffee. I want a nap. A sandwich. A book. And I want to die turns day by day into I want to go home, I want to walk in the woods, I want to see my friends, I want to sit in the sun. I want a cleaner room, I want a better job, I want to live somewhere else, I want to live.

One of the "Manhwa" versions I see of Zhongli is a butler that gets on your nerves but he does the job right so you can't really complain.

He prob still looks the same, but he also wears the iconic monocle glasses— white gloves, pristine suit and alluring gaze that the MC can be immune to, but MC would still find themselves blushing sometimes.

if he were a love interest, prepare for the eerie knowledge he has. he loves MC too much for them to die. TimeTravel Manhwas will make him omniscient. period. Zhongli will do anything to protect his love one. he doesn't want them to be frightened though, so he won't tell-tale his knowledge in the second timeline until MC calms down.

scenario:

politics are a mere fly to him.

the King is secretly a corrupted person? wow, who knew! I wonder who revealed that to the media.. MC feels dread at the fact that someone knows what happened too..

don't worry MC! Butler Zhongli will assure you that it's a mere gossip you shouldn't worry about. here, have some tea to calm you down.

Butler Zhongli will take it upon himself to help MC indirectly in every step of the way. he is as afraid as MC to die the third time around. worse of it all? he didn't save them in the first timeline, and it was his fault..

so he has to make things right this time.

ps. zhongli's manhwa name will prob be the long, basically unreadable, almost unforgettable yet iconic name. it's still too difficult for the general audience to grasp though....

so he's best known as ❛that hot butler on *insert long manhwa title*❜

On Writing: Tools and Technology (Part 1)

With the technological advancements being made, writer’s tools have changed over the years. Today, I’d like to talk about the current tools that I noticed are being used by other writers. Most being online tools and apps like Chat GPT, Dragon Diction, Write or Die, Ulysses, Scrivener, Grammarly, Hemingway, Evernote, Google Docs, ProWritingAid, and Werdsmith. While I can’t speak on the efficacy,…

Zevlor One-Shot WIPPIES

I know I haven't shared any writing lately (not because I haven't been wanting to write but the actual act of writing seems to elude me these days), so I wanted to share a little snippet of a potential upcoming Zevlor x Reader one-shot!

It features the same reader character from Leaving It All Behind 👀

It was an accident. Completely unintentional on his part; stumbling upon your naked form in the middle of the night, bathing in the cool water of the nearby stream. He couldn’t sleep. Nightmares plagued his mind after what happened in the Shadow Lands, leaving him drenched in sweat night after night as he jolted awake. Tonight is no different. Visions of red and manipulative voices dripping with malice force his eyes open, chest heaving, hands instinctively reaching for his sword. And when his hand grips leather and cold metal, he finds himself back in the peace of the camp. As his eyes adjust to the darkness, he finds you missing from your tent only a few feet from his. The firepit holds nothing but embers now.

Swapped

(A chaotic series that took me FOREVER to write :,))

Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5

“Come on… where is it??” Friend spoke to themselves, glaring at their shopping list and the isle in front of them. Other Friend walked beside them, and Civilian strolled slowly behind the two, daydreaming in their own world. The three were sent on a shopping trip to get groceries but ended up in a supermarket that none of them were familiar with.

After a few more minutes of angry muttering to themselves, Other Friend took the list from Friend, who was getting quite annoyed.

“Friend, calm down, you’re getting so frustrated. It’s just a can of soup.” They reassured.

“I know, but we’ve looked everywhere in this god-forsaken store and we can hardly find anything on our list!” They exclaimed with an angry tone. Friend then sighed and said, “Sorry, it’s just annoying.”

“It’s alright.” Other Friend said, tearing the shopping list in half. “Civilian, can you go find these three items while I help Friend look for the soup isle?”

Civilian didn’t hear them at first, still humming to herself and looking everywhere but Other Friend.

“Civilian? Hellooo?” They called, but no response came from Civilian’s mindless shell.

“Hey! Civilian! Focus!” Friend said, clapping in their face and drawing their attention.

“Gah! What?!” Civilian said, being startled.

“There you are. Can you go look for these things on the list so I can help Friend?” Other Friend asked.

“Oh, yeah! Sorry.” They said, taking the list and leaving the two. As they walked away, Friend looked back and said “Don’t zone out! Or we’ll be here till closing time!”

Civilian did not listen to what Friend said, for they were already spaced out from the moment they turned away. They strode through the store, not really paying attention, and ended up walking past the items they needed several times.

Eventually, Civilian finally came to their sense and started actually making progress on their half of the list. They returned to their group, twenty minutes later with a basket full of stuff.

“Oh, you’re back. We were looking for you.” Friend said, barely glancing at Civilian.

“Yeah, sorry it took me so long. I zoned out…. Like you told me not to.” They chuckled timidly.

Another person came up to Friend, which Civilian could only assume was Other Friend. They didn’t notice, they were daydreaming again.

Forward they walked, Civilian following their friends from behind, through the isles, the checkout line, out the door, and into the car.

It was twenty minutes before Civilian realized something.

“Dang it!“ They said, stomping their feet on the floor of the car.

“You okay Smallest Teammate?” A voice from the front seat said.

“Yeah, I just forgot the mushrooms.” Civilian sighed. Then they froze.

“Wait… who’s Smallest Teammate?”

The car pulled into the driveway of a house and the the driver and passenger looked back, startled. Civilian was met with two faces they did not recognize. At the same time, all three exclaimed “Who the hell are you?!”

Civilian panicked, fumbling to unlock the door of the car that they were too stupid to realize was not theirs. The two other passengers of the car jumped out to follow them. One of them pulled a taser on her.

“Who are you?! Where’s our teammate?!” They said, pointing the weapon at them.

Civilian dropped the bags they had in their hands and held their hands up, causing the jar of salsa inside to shatter and break. It startled Civilian and they let out a yell. This sudden reaction caused what’s-their-face off guard and they tased Civilian. Their muscles convulsed wildly for a moment, before they fell to the ground, unmoving.

Teammate One just then came from around the other side of the car and saw what looked like a crime scene in front of them.

“Why did you do that?!” They yelled, running up to Civilian to see if they were okay.

Teammate Two, now realizing what just happened, said “Oh shit! Why did I do that?!”

Teammate One kneeled next to Civilian and shook them. No movement.

“God damnit, Teammate Two!” They said. “You just tased an absolute stranger and potentially killed them!”

“Taser can’t kill people!” Teammate Two argued.

“Everyone reacts differently to them! We’ve told you this!” Teammate One leaned over to check Civilian’s pulse. They sighed after a moment, “They’re fine.”

Teammate Two stood by shakily as Teammate One lifted the unconscious person and brought them inside the house. They pulled the rest of the bags from the trunk and followed them inside.

Civilian was laid on the front room couch as Teammate One turned back to them. “Why was your first reaction to tase them?!”

Teammate Two put the bags of groceries on the counter and began to argue. “Considering all the shit we’ve been through recently, also involving Smallest Teammate, I’d say it’s a pretty logical option!”

“I’m sorry, did they LOOK like they work for you-know-who??” Teammate One pointed to Civilian, who was wearing a floral jacket and teal sweatpants.

“It’s always the most unsuspecting people who come to bite you in the ass!”

“Yeah, but now we have two problems! We have an unconscious person in our house!”

“Forget about them, let’s focus on the first problem: Where is Smallest Teammate?!”

“Team Leader is gonna kill us…” Teammate One began to pace.
