Shadow Flitz (Singular; Shadow Flit) are a long bodies species that have long since lost their hind legs, tail, and eyes to the power of the shadow and have replaced them with mold-able wispy appendages. these large, friendly beasts have been recently tamed to be ridden by humans and anthros alike. They have large, wide front paws, long pointed ears, and short, smooth fur. They can be naturally found in dark caves, wetlands, or thick forests. however have also been spotted in pastures while hunting. They are carnivores- meaning they are only meant to eat meat and they often prey on birds, deer, rodents, and bats.

Provide a quote and why you chose it! It can relate to the flit (e.i. backstory, personality, etc.) or for personal reasons(from your favorite movie, a song you like, etc.). Ends November 7th 11:59 PDT.

Quote:

Yours is a long road, my friend, and it stretches on to places beyond imagining.

With your every step, these grand adventures shall grow more distant and faint.

And there may come a day when you forget the faces and voices of those you have met along the way.

On that day, I bid you remember this…

That no matter how far your journey may take you, you stand where you stand by virtue of the road you walked to get there.

For in times of hardship, when you fear you cannot go on…

The joy you have known, the pain you have felt, the prayers you have whispered and answered - they shall ever be your strength and your comfort.

-Crystal Exarch from FFXIV

Reason: This quote is from my fave game and it speaks a lot with me in this moment, makes me feel better even, tbh the best quote I've heard in a while ;_;

Quote:

My dearest friend, in whom I trust without hesitation, without doubt─

Come what may, I know you will strive on.

You will strive, and in the end you will triumph, on this journey and the next, and the next, and the next.

And when you have fought the good fight, only to find, yet again, that it is not enough─

I will be there.

This I promise. This I swear.

Beyond darkest night waits a new dawn. I pray you greet her with a smile.

- Haurchefant Greystone

Reason: Also from Final Fantasy XIV, but not from the game. This quote comes from the short story "Thoughts Unspoken", from a letter Haurchefant wrote to the Warrior of Light(you). Due to spoilers I won't be linking to the story publicly.
But ahem, yes, anyroad...
This is mostly a favorite quote due to personal guilt. I completely ignored Haurchefant for the majority of the time you spend with him. I had no idea how much he loves the player, so to read this story, and this part of the letter especially, just makes me feel bad.

Quote:

"You are the last remaining star.

In your dreams, you see yourself suspended in bright but flickering Light, staring out over a world half-destroyed. You see thousands of pieces of yourself in that world, stumbling through it like infants, wandering in labyrinthine ruins they don't understand.

For a moment, you feel in your body everything that they feel. The elation of success. The pain of failure. The candle-snuff of death. The gasping of rebirth. You feel it all at once"

Reason:
first off just love half the quotes from any lore in destiny 2.
Alizée struggles with herself and her purpose in the world. It always feels as if she was meant for greater. Since childhood she very fit in with the others, left to take the world on her own.

Quote:

Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.
-- Zelda Fitzgerald

Reason: it's one of my favorite quotes. It's very romantic. The thought that as much as they have tried they have never managed to adequately measure it.

“ like a river flows
surely to the sea
darling, so it goes
some things are meant to be

take my hand
take my whole life, too
for I can't help falling in love with you ”
can’t help falling in love : sung by christian leave


Reason:
kind both personal and flit related. i listened to this song a bunch when my crush rejected me a few years ago, like a the little sad child i was. and for the flit, coy was once abandoned by his parents and it was hard to trust others. but one day a stranger came up to talk to him. a few years go by, and they are now best friends. coy platonically loves his friend, even though he never knew what love truly was for the first few years of his life.

Quote:

Borrow a beam of light from the slowly setting sun
To cast a ray of light on this long life.
Lend a joyous memory to etch on my heart for the future is long
If one day we are forced to be separated.

There will always be values that the strongest winds cannot blow away,
There will always be tear stains that the heaviest rains cannot wipe away,
But one of these days, the sun will rise and shine on two people.

Mao Buyi - Borrow

Reason:

Mao Buyi is an excellent lyricist and I really like how poetic this song is! It talks about metaphorically borrowing from a brighter time to illuminate the darker days so people can keep moving forward. While the song mainly talks about sunlight, I think borrowing a sliver of moonlight to light up the night like with this flit's design fits the theme. Cleiom might be the one who could lend happy memories and provide a little light in the dark to others.
