“C’mon, pint-size.”
Tumblr entry for @brothersapart
This one is much better than that dA one I entered. I’ll stick with my messy sketch-lineart for g/t stuff, looks better xD
Anyways, glad I finished it in time. Lucky to have free class time today since I’m too busy tonight/ tomorrow to work on it. I am a very bad procrastinator xD
He may, in the future. We have been circling a few ideas with Neon’s other sprites, and I’m always eager for a chance for the aeternum babies to make another appearance in any story.
“Immortality is not as perfect as it may sound, sister.”
The matriarch, the younger of the two between them, sighed deeply. “She was young and misguided. Perhaps, in another life, these mistakes will be avoided.”
Nixie dipped her head, returning her attention to the ceremony. “Yes.”
As the chanting song reached a crescendo of power, Nixie stepped forth. A tear slipped forth from her eye as she remembered young Ilyana, born of Ilia before her just two years past. How had one so young fallen so far, so fast?
“In another life.”
As the ritual ended, Nixie tossed the flower into the volcano. It hit the magma with a hiss.
A spark of power burst forth as it was consumed in flame.
And she of fire will be born anew,
Twisting flames to herald her birth,
Times change and seasons end,
What was once old will be young again.

April 22nd excerpt:
Dean froze up again when he saw Bowman’s tiny body shift in place from the movement, afraid of waking him. Dean was still recovering from the shock of waking to finding someone the size of his finger using him as a bed. It was the last thing he’d expected. He was dangerous to them, especially when he didn’t even know they were close.
“What am I supposed to do with him?” Dean whispered to Jacob. “Do we need to water him or something? You said he’s like a plant, right?”
Two days left in the Brothers Apart contest!
For Sam, searching for the cure was always something that Dean was determined to do. He went along with it, believing for a while that it was for the best. That way, he wouldn’t have to be afraid of the humans, and he’d be normal again.
After some time, he realizes that he’s actually happy the way he is. He doesn’t want Dean pushing himself to find a cure that doesn’t exist (all they have to go on is Celeste’s words about it, which promise the curse is unbreakable), so Sam tells him to stop.
If you want to see the argument between them, check out the part found in Adventures at Bobby’s.
But that’s okay. I’ve got you, after all, and that’s all that matters.
Ilyana continued to grind in her point with relentless determination. “Nixie, you cannot hold. Submit now, before you are destroyed as well. I do not wish to harm a sister, but I am bound to this task and will not be stopped. Give yourself over, now! ” Her last words were angry and impatient.
“Ah!” Nixie cried out. Each of Ilyana’s words sliced through her to her very core. Even though she did not act against her sister directly, she was interfering, and her very nature sought to punish her.
Ilyana continued relentlessly on, repeating her commands and reinforcing her controlling power. “Release your magic, sister. Give yourself over to us, now.” Her power was increasing as the intensity of the firestorm grew and was beginning to take hold of Nixie’s very thoughts. The seed had been planted and it could only grow.

April 21st excerpt:
Sam snarled, his calm countenance dropping away as though it never existed. With no other options open to him, he seized the moment to do what he’d hoped he would never have to do.
The young knight sprinted for the edge of the desk.
But he wasn’t trying to escape.
Four days left to get your entries in for the contest!
We’re so glad you’re enjoying them! Having the brothers in the Wellwood has to be one of our favorite parts, and of course now Bowman is getting himself in trouble by startling a hunter. Dean is ready for attack, and not expecting a sprite to make such a sound from behind him!
