Soul Stasis -Arc 1- "Aphrodite"

Soul Stasis - |Ep 4, Part 1| - "Melancholic Tide"

Mar 19, 2025

Seff holds Achiin tight as his brother's arm steams with blue striking scars on the bottom of his right wrist. He looks down at Alex, tearing up from his blank stare and stillness and hurriedly lifts Achiin over to Akhmin's room. A nest full of fluffy feathers, large and comfortable with soft pillows in abundance set in the middle of the floor. Some tapestries were looming over a window and a picture of Seff's mother was seen glistening in the corner with sentimental bobbles of sparkling stones, keepsakes, and jewelry. An aromatic metal capsule with petal-etched openings was seen to the right of it as well, relinquishing a tart and sweet scent of berries. The lady in the picture, brown feathers drooping long and furled with darker brown markings of stripes across her back plumage. Speckles were somewhat visible at the ends and white lining around her eyes. She was smiling with amber irises, quite like Achiin's yet slightly darker.

As the sun sets, the windows become dimmer, wading the light as it shines over the cloudy summits of higher islands. Seff, his tears becoming dried lines, speaks to his brother on his knees as he firms the wraps he tended his arm with. "Achiin. What did you do? You know you get into so much trouble. I can't lose another family member… you know that." Seff gets up and wipes what little salty drops he had left and walks toward the sliding door. He looks back a tad and says "Wait here…" before stepping out and shutting it slowly with an inch to spare. Achiin, still breathing a bit heavily, opens his eyes to slits and looks up at the door, the thought of Alex's dead corpse still in his head. He doesn't think Seff should be upset, he's not going anywhere. He's more worried about Alex and if he's ok. He thinks to himself, "If Alex really is a robot... then can't he still be ok?" A single glowing blue tear falls from his right eye as he lay in bed hoping that Alex comes to once again, since apparently he can feel the chill of it still lingering, a soul. Before closing his eyes, the weeping one folds a glowing blue sheen into his amber iris. He fades to a slumber as his single tear dissipates into a stream of smoke wafting upward with the incense.

A man wakes up on a planet of unknown origin. The plains of islands are filled with fungal plant life and winding, warped, sun-bleached trees with pink and bright orange leaves. Clusters of dazzling crystals hold these islands above the clouds, cutting off view from the darker trenches and chasms.

As he awakens, his skin is shown a very light salmon color from the light with cyan blue markings that glow and emit from small gaps in his skin. Before he's able to gain some sort of stability in both consciousness and mobility, a storm before him is approaching...Read more
