I suggest listening to this while reading this form

Yoritsubasa, Night-wing

Combination of Japanese 'Yoru,' meaning 'Night,' and 'Tsubasa,' meaning 'wing'


Female

The feminine sex has long been assosiated with the moon and the night, so it is appropriate that the Moon-child is a she

Unless, of course, it's possible to suggest that their gender changes with the cycle of the moon, say, when the moon is waxing or full, they are a he, and when it's waning of new, they are a she. Possibly sheding her skin like a dragonfly? Dunno.


When the Moon-child walks into the sun, to that which brings others joy and laughter, she feels only hollow, empty sadness. The power of her mind is such that, through that veil of light, she can see the flaws of the world, the pain, the suffering. The light of day has come to represent restraint and lies, the self that she has to be in order to be accepted. The self that she is not.

But when night pours over her horrizon she can be free, casting off the lies as a dragonfly casts away old skin, and she is reborn as a creature that is wild as a winter storm, dark as eternity, wise as the stars, and free as anything that has ever lived can be. She can dance with the stars on wings as fast as any light, and feel the wind on her face, just her, alone with the sky and the beauty of chaos and serenity.

Which is pretty much what I do, exepting I do not have wings

Forbiden twilight
pull away curten of light
a world in everlasting night
nightbringers song

Pinprik star beams
vision bursting at the seams
free at last forgotten dreams
nightbringers song

Eddied wind
blown away all that has sinned
realease that by day chagrinned
nightbringers song

elapsed in surrounding gale
in that world both dark and pale
dauntless dreams bound naught to fail
nightbringers song

I POSTED INSTEAD OF "PREVIEW!" SORRY >o<;;;;

All right... Through much consideration and thought, I was down to three candidates.

The winner of this challenge is: Clara! Congratulations!
Your vast knowledge of the species is evident in your writing. I loved the reason for the love of night as well as the stage for further development.
This was an incredibly hard decision for me to pick between the three of you. You guys were simply amazing!

The Runner Ups
Astra. Your form fixated me upon the story of a single night and it absolutely entranced me into the subject and the plot. I absolutely loved it!

Rivkah. Your interesting aspect of this Yin was mind blowing! I loved your reasons as well as the form structure and the doodle that you made.

I feel terrible for having to chose only one. Though I wish you luck in your further competitions, you guys are amazing, all of you!

[Ardra]

Congrats guys!

[Rivkah]

thank you so much for the mention ^-^ my one question is, are we getting ru's or is it just mentions?

Congrats Clara, your writing was amazing.
