deleted dialogue from the 1x1 w/ tabbycatcloud:



basic lore gist cause im gonna forget:
mor is a spiral spirals are faster right, so if let's say a group of

i forgot :(

- earrings from mor
- his charge is his adopted family: mor, crane, sora, eventually demetria? etc

mor was injured and it was all litrik's fault (or: litrik was injured and it was all mor's fault).

note: eventually redo/edit this, it's just a rough wordspill

they'd been sent to play by fleet, and litrik wanted to stay inside camp but iracema was getting angrier by the second and he knew a coming storm when he saw one. experience had him tugging mor's arm and leading her into the brambles to avoid their father's fury, and when he heard roaring he followed her out of the thorns and into the forest.
they'd never been in the forest before, and litrik was wide-eyed with wonder as he craned his head to see the pink-hued canopy. mor scrambled up a tree trunk and perched herself along one of the lower boughs, scales blending into the flowers, and litrik followed (because he would follow his sister to the ends of the earth), digging his claws into the silver bark.
mor climbed higher and higher, trusting even the slenderest branches to hold her weight, and litrik followed suit. he was bigger and bulkier than his sister even as a hatchling, but he was small for a guardian thanks to his mother's genetics, and he reached the top with little difficulty.
mor saw a squirrel and raced after it, leaping into the next tree before litrik could shout at her to be careful. he ran along the narrow branch, then jumped to the next. his back talons met nothing but empty air, the distance to the ground below suddenly much farther, and he fought to keep from falling and breaking his neck. eventually he hauled himself onto the branch and shook himself off, heartbeat thundering in his ears. mor shouted at him to hurry up, blue-and-white wings barely visible behind the next tree. litrik forwent caution in favor of speed, springing from branch to branch like a squirrel.
mor lost the squirrel, but neither hatchling cared. they chased each other from tree to tree, farther and farther from the safety of their camp.
and then they heard noises.
litrik thought they'd come full circle and ended up back home (they had not).
there was a hill and a cave and noise and litrik dared mor to go look inside, because he was young and foolish and far too curious for his own good.
he didn't see what happened, but mor screamed and went flying down the slope, blood trickling down her face.

write this later:

-litrik goes down to protect her
-its always the serthis. politics, yknow. darn it, gildie and wraith
-litrik fights/gets attacked. tragic. lots of scars and wounds and near-death. mor is scarred too. trauma :)
WAIT DONT THE SERTHIS HAVE POISONS?? WHAT DO ACID BURNS LOOK LIKE. on second thought let's not find out/google it, ew
they get found by uhhhhh. someone. either one of the triumvirate or one of their parents
fleet essentially divorces iracema. why? plot <3 (does sornieth have divorces??)
-litrik still wants his father's approval tho
-there are rumors that litrik was jealous of mor and told her to go there on purpose
-people avoid litrik, act weird, etc because of his scars. think crookedstars promise.,?
-litrik starts wearing the mask 1) to cover up the scars 2) bc belladonna is a role model for him; fleet coddled him and iracema all but shunned him, but she didnt treat him any differently; trained him to fight but risked her own life to keep him out of danger. belladonna stop adopting children challenge
-starts to avoid clanmates back; starts patrolling borders, loses childhood, self-isolates
-hes really guilty that mor got hurt but mor is guilty that he got hurt protecting her and hes like no it was all my fault i shouldnt have dared you (guilt complex?? go to therapy bro)

- assuming the 1x1 w/ tabbycatcloud is canon, when mor goes missing iracema dgaf and litrik is halfway to feral
- i feel like his and crane's kids are non-canon? maybe they found them and decided to adopt/raise them together, lore-wise he isn't old enough to be a proper dad


more notes:
-the serthis have poison stuff, at least in the old lore, maybe he has chemical burns? is that the word for it? he has facial burns anyways idk if its fire related or blade related or acid related
-possible partial/full blindness in the eye in line with the scars
