hmmm some nice sprites. I think Iâll stick with mine for now but ty for the great sprites!
CSpiderMonkey lore:
Planet Vonda
Interstellar neighbourhood
CPirateMonkey was on a quest. For the sword of hallowed life.
Legend has it that it sits well inside a shrouded forest, embedded in darkness, with not a spectacle of light to shed on its beauty. With properties so unbound, the sword remains a collectors dream, as it demands a high price.
You can take 1 quick guess on who had to fetch itâŚ
Upon landing. It was clear he wasnât alone either. The gust around the blackened trees evoked beady eyes of all assortments of colours.
Out from the fog came a small dwarf like tribe, with sinister masks, wielding small weapons of different shapes and sizes.
It wasnât a place you wanted to stick around. Especially when they start to ready up their weapons.
Never the less, CPirateMonkey in quick matters pulled up his wingsuit, and shot his grappling hook well into the treeline, and soared through the forest in a fleeting speed.
In a sigh of relief to get away, he reached a small Hallow. The trees spiralled around a small rock, void in colour. Even the bright neighbouring moons couldnât pierce through the thickness of the trees, and it was so cold, the floor was like an ice rink, frosted with bonechilling temperatures.
Out of strange curiosity, a small spider worked its way onto CPMâs boot, then up his jacket and tucked itself onto his hat. It went un-noticed until he looked up. At first glance, CPirateMonkey was in a bit of fright, but it looked rather young, and didnât appear to make any bearing of threat, except from a strange purple glow it would perform every few seconds.
Peculiar.
But soon, eyed snapped to the stone, as it appeared to be growingâŚ
It was like a liquid seeping out from the stone, that slowly grew in size, and became more apparent of its true form - the sword.
Stood in its trembling bitterness.
Its hilt struck a sharp purple, and its blade pitched in an obsidian black - it wreaks of a crooked past.
Brushing up the dead leaves, CPirateMonkey stalks his way up to the sword for a closer look.
His hand swept for the handle, and it held a mighty gripâŚ
So powerful, that it started to hurt, with a pain that strikes like venom.
CPirateMonkey fell to his knee, where then the spider crept from the hat and ran up his swelling arm, to fix itself on top of the sword.
There was a sudden flash of purple from the spider, as the sword shone in response.
CPM then opened his eyes.
Slowly⌠and it seems to be a bit more than just 2.
His jacket was a punishing violet, and his fur was a gruelling, monstrous purple. His teeth were razor sharp and stuck out like the daggers to his belt. His symbol on his hat altered in some way, and if anything less unusual, he felt a little hungry.
Despite the changes, he seemed just fine, and managed to wield the sword effortless. With that, he headed back to the ship on a delightful stroll, not even tested by anything nearby. It seems at if he was quite fitting to his surroundings now, especially wielding the blade.
Once reaching his ship, he noticed a crew member was still on board the entire time, Holding a warm mug and wrapped around 7 blankets. Her eyes locked at the spider like being that just crawled on the ship.
She stood petrefied, trying to shield herself with a metal table, but after better speculation, it was just CPM, but a lot stranger.
âPlease donât tell me thatâs another one of your cursesâ she stuttered.
There wasnât a reply.
CPM knew he had to get rid of this hallowed form.
He ran over to a control panel and searched up a starsystem with a cure - Of all places, Earth held a ritual type of cure, but only in October, for some reasonâŚ
Thoughts aside, he immediately set a course, for Earth.
Ive put the effort into this one this year! I swear!
Mexico has its âday of the deadâ around the same time. Itâs more memorial in nature than Halloween, but idk what youâd use to celebrate it.
well, yeah. but he asked for âany alternative to halloweenâ and to be honest itâs the only one Iâve ever heard of.
Thereâs an old pre Christianity Lithuanian holiday where they would dress like trees and play games in the forest. I think they were still doing it like 700 years untill the Lithuania crusades
There are a lot of similar holidays and the like in old slavic europe
And like said @Xaklor day of the dead. They havw days of the dead all over the world Asia europe Africa if you donât want the Mexican one
Boo! Quite literally the fastest thing thrown together, being the bedsheet ghost, or in this case just over the helmet. Happy early Halloween everyone!
