Dreamscape wanderer [51]

Posted Feb 7, 2023, 9:50:47 PM UTC

Ever since he was young, Myre had dreamed of Mi'raem. 

How he came to dream of this place was unknown to him, let alone how he was so certain of the name, and so he'd spent much time trying to research this odd landscape. At first he was adament it must be somewhere he'd heard of from a passing traveller - perhaps some alien world that they or a colleague had either heard of or passed through as they made their way throughout the realms? - but time and age made him confident that wasn't the case. He had heard no further mention of this alien world, had found no trace of it in any myth nor story he found, and no adventurer seemed familiar with it when he asked them of it. 

The only people who had ever reacted were his parents, both of whom seemed to shiver at the mention of the name, but had never dreamed this dream of his. His mother claimed it sounded like somewhere her grandmother had once described, but those stories had contained fantastic cities of glass and gold that were utterly absent from Myre's own dreams. And the clothing - she could not place where she had seen it, nor who it was who was wearing it, but she was certain there was an old sketch of the founders of Dreams' Crossroads wearing garb so similar to what he described. That her Grandfather had worn something akin to it on his wedding day, but could never say why he'd chosen it. 

For awhile, Myre contented himself that this would be a place he saw only in his dreams. But now, with portals opening? Fresh lands being uncovered? Perhaps he would find this mystical, alien landscape he dreamt of... 

... and perhaps he would find why, despite how foreign it seemed to be, it had always felt as familiar as the beat of his own heart. 

-----

 

So, a bit of a rambling narrative prompt for this one! Basically, this is the attire that Elliot dons whilst he dreams of fair Mi'raem - a distant world in which his ancestors hailed from, and is the source of he and his families connection to dreams. Whilst he may be unaware of it, the clothing is that of the planes native inhabitants, and if were to dig a little deeper into his family history... well. There's no good in pondering that, and perhaps in time we'll see him make his way to this odd world, and learn the truth of his family's history. 

 

Only time, as ever, will tell.

      If we all look deep inside, I think we'll all find we're weak to cloud hair. It's such a fun aesthetic and I need more of it in my life.

      But thank you so much!! I was honestly very worried all the purples would get a bitch much, but I'm glad to hear people seem to disagree!!!!;;;;;;;;;

    The way you shaded and did the background in combination with the pose right draws the focus to his face which is just such a nice touch. Plus the clothes are just so nice and flowy...It really suits him and that whole dream aspect.

    Also hello??? Lore??? Lore drop? Can I have some more please, thank you

      Waugh, thank you so much!! The ethereal nature of dreams is so hard to do, so I'm glad there is like.. a little taste of it that comes through in the pic!!!!

      And no sorry this is all the lore you get for now xoxoxo

    Absolutely gorgeous. The tale of Mi'raem and its mysterious nature is lovely, and I just adore the small detail of his grandfather wearing this clothing for his wedding? That's genuinely great. I'm in LOVE with this! And don't even get me STARTED in the art because HOLY SHIT?????

    And, obviously, very excited for the future, where we'll possibly get to see him find more about it! :3cccc

      Thank yoooou!!! I was a little worried with the lore drop, since it's been awhile since I've tried to do like.. an actual narrative thing?? I was a little worried it'd all be like a sledgehammer to the face vs something nice to read 8D

      I'm so glad you like it, and I'm excited to explore more of his (and his friends) stories in the future Smile
