WordWeavers for 8th September, 2025

8. MC POV: What can’t you accept?

If there’s one thing Illara can’t accept, it’s leaving demons alive to inflict their cruelty upon the innocent.
That’s how she got involved in this whole mess a few years back, jumping in with both feet to help fight against some demons – despite being absolutely terrified. She couldn’t walk away, knowing she could have done something, anything, to help the people whose lives were in danger.

That impetuousness has gotten her into trouble several times, but luckily she has a dragon to help her get out of it again.

#WordWeavers 7. What is your MC's earliest memory?

Juniper: "Being carried upstairs by my father. Such a long staircase, it seemed, and he was so strong."

Imogen: "My mother yelled at me for dropping my orange juice on the floor."

Darroll: "Sitting on my father's knee with him reading to me out of a big book."

J.: "My father took me to see a horse being shod, and I was overcome with fear; the forge was so hot, the horse so very large. It seems foolish now, but I still shiver at the memory."

9/7. What is your MC's earliest memory?

Doesn’t come up in the text. But for all the MCs, their early lives were boringly typical. For most, their early encounters with the uncanny were out of childhood. For one, it was childhood trauma.

That is a complicated question. The Manifest literally come from outside time and space, and Franz-Karl is what the Elderkin call 'born old and open-eyed': his eldritch side has been active since soon after birth. Spells (basically) were used to suppress consciousness before birth: the Elderkin in Traventi decided long ago that heavily Manifest children turn out healthier (and saner) if some disruptions of physical development are limited.

#WordWeavers day 7: What are your MCs' earliest memories?

Largely, memories of things like the insides of their own apartments or houses. But two standouts are:

1) Jessie has a bunch of early memories of watching _Star Trek: Voyager_ with her parents and older brother when it was first airing.
2) Margot has some specific memories of Guangzhou Baiyun airport (the old one) from when she and her family departed for America through it, when she was 4 years old.

Beckett's earliest memory is probably one of those basic first memories: at home with his mother, sharing a meal or playing in the garden. Something like that. Something vague but positive and full of love.

#WordWeavers Sep 7: What is your MC's earliest memory?

He *thinks* he remembers their family's house when he was two. A fuzzy memory of chasing a cat through a room. Although, memories are easy to invent if you're not careful.

#WordWeavers 7. What's your MC's earliest memory?

Ashrah's earliest memory is of being exiled from Asymoul, her home layer, by her progenitors, right after she materialised her physical form.

She doesn't really remember what their progenitors look like or any such detail, but she does remember the action and the rage it caused her. Even though she knows she's better off on her own and can appreciate what they did, she'd still kill them if she ever stumbled upon them. Just to show she's better.

#WordWeavers Sep 7 - What's your MC's earliest memory?

Artos: I think it might have been my third or fourth birthday. Only eleven of my sisters were there as Morganna wouldn't arrive for another few years, but old mother Wren still left a chair out for her.

There was gifts and food, and the villagers made me my first engraved mead cup. Don't remember much for a few days after that.

#WordWeavers 7 Sept: What is your MC's earliest memory?

Flashes of memory—a pat on the cheek, a question overheard: “Are you ready?” And five-year-old me, piping up. "I’m ready, I’m ready too," unheard, ignored.
