Chapter Text
The small green blades gently twitch, rising from the position it has been bent oh so carefully while a pair of running feet is heard.
Childish giggles ring out from the fields as two yellow robloxians sit out under a tree, snacking on small portions of their meal while watching their young frolic, having to call her back once she strayed too far.
The child giddily stares to the sky, now staring as her eyes follow the clouds slowly moving by in no rush.
A small gust of wind gets a small lash stuck in her eye, causing them to shut it and try their best to get it out.
It was always about the smaller moments.
Minutes go by aa she finally gets the stuck lash out, now wandering far off into the distance without either of her caretakers noticing.
As she wanders, she spots a beautiful blue butterfly, staring at it in wonder. As she took one small step, the small creature suddenly fluttered its wings and took off into the woods in a panic, the small robloxian softly gasping and going to follow.
Minutes go by, the purple haired lady finally noticing something up.
“John?” The woman asked.
“Yes, my lovely lovely gal?” Shedletsky responds in a cheery and sing-songy manner, earning a playful sigh from his wife before she returns back to her genuinity.
“Where’s 1x?”
“..oh.”
“…Shed.”
“..I’ll be right back.”

The trees rustle softly as animal life moves within, accompanied by the gentle gusts of wind passing through the forest. The toddler hums a familiar tune that her parents sung to her ever since she could remember.
As she drew farther away, a fragrant yet slightly spicy scent stings at her nostrils, causing her to wince before following the latter.
Soon does she stop at a sudden patch of hyacinths.
All blossoming beautifully under the streaks of light, almost as if welcoming the newcomer to come and join them under the sun’s kisses.
And into temptation she gave, now sitting in the middle of it all while the giant beaming star gently caressed the young’s face, as if protecting the other.
She sits there, in a trance while the flowers dance softly, tickling the little robloxian accidentally.
She feels something.
Opening her eye does she spot something magnificent.
A blue Morpho.
She’s seen some before.
The ugly brown always hid the stunning blue.
Thank goodness she could catch the latter before it fluttered its wings and.. began flying towards her.
As if she understood, the youngling sat as frozen as a rock. And down the butterfly went, landing carefully on her head.
She sat still, eyes filled with wonder as they sparkled in the daylight before carefully closing them, feeling at ease once more while her wings relax. Peace.
Peace from the burning feeling of something negative.
From something she’s made of.

“1X!” Shedletsky calls out, the wings on his head and back ruffled in distress of his lost child. He scratches his frizzy and curly hair, picking out a few pieces of lint and a scab before continuing on his path.
First he checks the trees. She always liked climbing up these things to people watch or be alone.
Nothing was there, unfortunately for him.
Next he checks a pond. He remembers when she splashed in there and got the cold, such a easy to sicken child, she is.
Yet no young robloxian stands or floats.
“Oh my 2, where is she- 1X!! 1X4 COME HERE RIGHT NOW!” He shouts out into the forest, his guts twisting in worry. The forest is too crowded to fly up without getting stuck in branches.
And then he hears it.
A giggle.
He looks around, narrowing his eyes as he freezes in place, the wings on his hand slightly raising in caution.
Another giggle. Ah, seems he just has to follow her sounds then. Quietly does he follow the small giggles and incoherent singing.
At last does he find her.
Sitting in a field of purple and blue Hyacinths.
..he hopes it isn’t what he thinks it is.
“1x!” “Huh?” The child turns her head to where she heard her father call her name. Once spotted does she smile, wings fluttering as she waved to Shedletsky. Shed meanwhile nervously looks around in caution before entering the field as well, startling the Blue Morphos and having them flutter away.
“Dad! Dad yu scare dem.” 1x whines, frowning as she watches them take off. Shedletsky sighs before patting her back. “It’s okay, you’ll be able to see them again soon.” “Do you promise?” “..weellll-“ “..papaaaa.” She frowns harder, now having a more saddened look on her face. Shed recoils slightly, now feeling the tiniest bit of guilt.
With a sigh does he grunt and pick her up, holding 1x close to him. “I promise, I promise.. don’t worry. We’ll try to go to the next bug fair, okay?” 1x blinks, then smiles before nodding and wrapping her small blocky arms around his “neck” as a hug. “Yay!!”
Shedletsky smiles, giving his daughter a small nuzzle with a soft expression before walking out of the field of Hyacinths, humming.
“Also- don’t wander off again! Something might happen to you if we aren’t there!” “Buwt im okaay!” “You won’t be when mama talks to you.” “Oh. Aw.” Shedletsky chuckles at this, his wings stretching while his feathers shudder. “Don’t worry, papa’s gonna try to calm her down.”
1x hugs closer to his chest, making small chirps.
Thank god nobody was there.
..as far as he saw.
He wishes he could’ve seen sooner.

..huh.
Who new a god would be as foolish as to roam on their lands.
Nonetheless, his child.
RSPX watches the two leave the sacred grounds of their church, the white star implanted on the back of the tree to ward off the Sinners.
These two have tainted their future leader’s lands.
Their church’s lands.
Father’s lands.
Noli’s lands.
Sinners serve no place in this world. It’s unfortunate just how many there are, though.
