kasihyaPrompt: Dust
POV Character: Quentin
Date: Summer, 5157
Summary: Quentin Galligan discovers his magic.
There is a fine layer of brown powder on Quentin's right side, stirred up by a series of cars passing him on the dirt road. He examines it, the way it tans his pale skin. As he does so, something opens up, expands, inside his mind. He later describes it as the feeling of suddenly gaining a new limb and set of muscles. Startled, he prods the hitherto undiscovered part of his mind, and feels his skin tingle in response. When he blinks again, the dust pales — or, rather, the skin on which it lies has become dark like mahogany.
Prompt: Festival
POV Character: Stephen
Date: Spring Equinox, 5171
Summary: Stephen gate-crashes the spring equinox festival in Lannael.
A trio of deplorably unwashed children stares at the fine figure of a man who has plummeted down from the sky in a whirlwind before them.
'Greetings! I am the mighty, the magnificent Blue Rose!' Stephen announces.
The tallest girl tilts her head. 'ダレ?' She can't be more than nine.
Stephen beams fondly. 'Ah, foreigners!' He reaches into his fanny pack and pulls out three of his eponymous blue roses, handing them to each child with a flourish. He is rewarded by three shy, gap-toothed smiles, and feels a bubble of happiness rise in his (broad, manly) chest.
