Please, don't let it grab your finger with its pincer. I BEG YOU

A transparent fish that is viewed as a cleaner; creatures usually enter the water for the fish to nibble at parasites, dead skin, or other organisms on its body. 

RATING 

0/10 

NOTE: 

A group can tickle you, 

BLATTA DIABOLUS

(crawl devil)

small pests that like to live in abandoned stone crab burrows, these creatures make hives. even though these creatures are seen as disgusting these creatures come with their benefits, these creatures are edible, the abdomen contains enough protein to fuel the body for at least a day.

RATING

3/10

PREPARATIONS

these creatures just cannot be eaten normally, these creatures have to go through an process that kills anything that may be on the insects, (a quick boil can help with this)

NOTE:

annoying but surprisingly delicious.

EYE ABILITIES:

eye abilities are sort of stones, these eyes have their limits. the eyes can benefit a human or either kill them if they are not careful,

for example:

foresight:

(this eye can fuse to the skin)

an ability that gives, the ability to see future outcomes, but if overused the eye can close and stay closed for a couple hours. but it's not as accurate. (this ability forms a mouth that acts independently from the person)

tremor hands:

form:

gloves

an ability that is given fuses into the palms of the hand, the ability stores kinetic energy, but it is also a ticking time bomb. the hands could start to bleed because of the strain of holding too much kinetic energy. this may cause the hands to explode also destroying the eyes and the person's hands who use it. (so it's basically a gamble of life every time the ability is active)

moontrace:

form:

moth hairpin

a hairpin that is used to be able to scout ahead, it can leave trails for only the person using it can see, the hairpin can be used as a drone for the person using it, but too much strain can cause the sight to become blurry and hard to see out of it, (it usually finds its way back to the person)

mason's eye

form:

a necklace

an eye ability that is able to increase strike force, when active the object that is used for striking may result in veins growing out from the eye, the force that is applied is multiplied tenfolds making it very useful, (this is the only eye ability that doesn't have an downside)

my story so far (chapter 1)

context:

this story is set in a mythical world, or forest named Erynd, this forest contains very rare and wonderful animals, and species. in later chapters i will try to mix in some moments between her and her old friend, this story is about a young girl named Mandra:

(edited)

CHAPTER: 1 

CLAW AND STONE 

A girl stands in front of a stone wall,  

She slid on thick gloves and struggled to hold a chisel in one hand. It slipped slightly. after a long sigh she muttered, “I’m not getting paid enough for this.” She said, she set the chisel into place, with a single strike; rock started to crumble. revealing a hole. she tilted of her head and slowly she reached her hand inside, something brushed against her glove,  

Then- 

CLAMP  

The sound echoed through the entire cavern; workers paused; heads turned; whispers spread. “doesn’t that hurt?” a visible grin appeared on her face, “that’s why I wear these!” She lifted the free hand showing the thick glove. her other hand stayed in the hole; pressure tightened around her wrist, then she yanked hard, pulling it free, dust bursted into the air. Coughing, she held the struggling stone crab dangling from her fingers, with a flick,  

THUD 

It fell into the crate in front of her, and she looked at her glove, new dents marked the surface. “Aw...man. I just got these...” coming from a nearby tunnel a worker walked out with a crate overflowing with colorful gems, they shined and twinkled as he walked by, a girl nearby leaned in closer and whispering in Mandra’s ear. “How can someone get that much?” Mandra didn’t bother to look up and shrugged, with her hammer raised she was about to strike the chisel again,  

a alarm blared signaling the end of work, she turned than let out a sigh; “Finally.”  She stood upright 

POP   

A loud pop sound echoed from her spine; she winced, rubbing her shoulder. Beginning her walk towards the underground library, the library was clean; it almost looked untouched by time with flowers that were somehow brighter than ones from the surface.  

DING 

The door chimed; her equipment clanked as she walked inside. Candle snails lined up the walls; some slept; others stared. she wandered calmly towards one of the shelves aligned neatly with books, as she reached for a book, she felt as someone was standing behind her, “you're wearing your equipment inside the library again.” She jumped a little before turning around; Her mother stood with a candle snail sleeping on a small metal dish. “Oh, sorry it’s a habit.” The snail shifted a little, and her mother sighed. “You forgot something.” Mandra froze, then her head lowered, “Happy birthday mom...” a genuine smile appeared on her mother's face, “good,” she said softly, “you remembered.” Mandra rubbed her neck, “I wasn’t trying to lose my finger at work today,” Her mother pointed at the floor. “You also forgot to clean yourself off.” Mandra stiffened, and her mother softly shook her head. “Just sit.”

it fell into the crate in front of her with a loud thud, she lifted her glove slightly inspecting the indentations left behind by the crabs pincer, her shoulders slumped. “Aw...man. I just got these...”  coming from a nearby tunnel a man walked out with a crate overflowing with colorful gems, they shined and twinkled as he walked by, a girl nearby leaned in closer and whispering in Mandra’s ear. “How can someone get that much?” Mandra didn’t bother to look up and shrugged, with her hammer raised she was about to strike the chisel again,

The bell above the door dinged; her equipment clanked against each other. Along the walls, Candle snails were aligned; some slept while others stared. she wandered calmly towards one of the shelves aligned neatly with books, as she reached for a book, she felt as someone was standing behind her, “you're wearing your equipment inside the library again.” She jumped a little before turning around; Her mother stood with a candle snail sleeping on a small metal dish. “Oh, sorry it’s a habit.” the snail shifted a little as Her mother placed a hand on her hip. “You forgot something too.” Mandra’s face remained blank then realization hit her, her head lowered, “Happy birthday mom...” a genuine smile appeared on her mother's face, “good,” she said softly, “you remembered.” Mandra rubbed the back of her neck, “I wasn’t trying to lose my finger at work today,” she said. Her mother leaned, peering behind her, pointed. Visible dust marks trailed across were visible on the carpet; her mother crossed her arms. “You also forgot to dust yourself off again.”a bead of sweat fell from her face, “I tried to- “she started, her mother shook her head softly, “sit, sit it's fine.”
