fable name: Lapis
prized posession: a fragment of a meteorite
do they still have it?: yes.

Tied to a string and hung around their neck, he keeps this tiny piece of sentimental treasure close to his heart.

Lapis was orphaned as a foal after a tragic accident took out his entire herd. A meteorite hit their home and in an attempt to stop it, their stone guardian took much damage when it allowed the meteor to hit it.

The bear-shaped guardian took pity on the only surviving member of the herd and vowed that it would ensure that Lapis found a new herd before it crumbled into dust and disappeared.

Lapis and the stone guardian travelled the world together, forming a very special bond, but alas. With each passing day, the guardian grew weaker. A fragment of meteor burrowing closer and closer to its core. There wasn’t much time left.


Without alerting Lapis to their impending disintegration, they found a lovely herd in a small kingdom with their own guardian and nudged the shy fable on to chat to the herd before disappearing into the forest alone.

All Lapis was able to find left of his dear companion was the fragment of meteor

fable name: chandra
prized possession: an embroidered pillowcase given to chandra by a childhood friend
do they still have it?: despite chandra's reluctance to use the embroidered pillowcase, they discovered that the only way to get a good night's sleep was with the soft fabric their dearly departed childhood friend had bestowed upon them. each night, as chandra drifted into slumber, their friend's presence filled their dreams, vivid and full of warmth, memories of their shared laughter and whispered secrets come alive.
chandra has since realized that as long as they continued to rest their head on the cherished pillowcase, their friend's spirit would remain close. their bond, now eternal, defies the bounds of life and death, woven and embroidered into the very threads of chandra's pillowcase.
