Glitter

@Antimoany and @Snailmuffin and me are their foster parents

Lost, or just curious? These eyes really do call out, don't they? Most call it a blessing. I'm not so sure.

Name's Glitter, not that folk bother to ask. I've got so many different nicknames now I'm almost surprised when someone uses my real one.

This "blessing," or whatever it is, allows me to take anyone to their destination. Sometimes, when they get there, they're angry, or confused. It's my nature to know where (or, occasionally, whom) their destination is, not the reasons for it. If they hang around, they usually figure it out.

Your destination might not be where you want to go. It might not be where you expect to go. But it's where you should go. It's where you need to be. Maybe it's your home. Maybe you'll meet your next partner there - or an old one, long since lost. Maybe you need a good view to paint, or a rock of exactly the right shape to complete your rock garden. Whatever it is, I can take you there. And when I do, some really kick up a fuss.

I get my fair share of abuse for it. "Why here? What's so great about this place?" and so on. "Why this desolate mud pond? What grand and mystical purpose could it possibly have?"

I'll spare you the trouble. Not everything is grand and mystical. Maybe your purpose is to discover a new type of dandelion, maybe you just need a good mud bath. Who am I to judge?

It's not all bad. There's this one old dragon I've been leading to the exact same spot for thirty years. Why I need to lead him there every time, I don't know. You'd think he could find it himself by now. But he's so pleasant, and he has a lot of stories to tell. He's one of my favourite followers. I always look forward to him stumbling across my path.

Ah, "follower". Yeah. It's not how it sounds. It's not a cult thing. I mean, it might be. Some folk do seem to put an awful lot of gravity on my guidence, feels a little gross if you ask me. A feather too close to worship. I just say "follower" because folk follow me. I considered "customer" but, they're not paying. And, "client" feels too fancy.

Look, I'm not one to judge anyone's religion, or whatever, but when it involves someone else, you could at least ask, y'know? Maybe I don't want to be your weird forgotten deity.
