what the snow hides shall never be found
Laughably late, but then again, one doesn't rush the moon.
And it is the moon that descends to speak to Aamu - or at least, that's what it looks like. Clouds cross over the sky above, and for a moment all goes terribly dark. Then, from behind the glowing tree, a figure appears. They are small, lithe, like a moonbeam dancing over the snow. Beautiful and cold and pale enough to make Aamu look tan, they glide over the fresh-lain snow, leaving no footprints behind. Only their eyes are sources of color: bright violet, too big for their face, boring into Aamu with a soft, laughing contempt.
"Oh, pretty thing," the figure sighs, reaching up a frigid hand to caress Aamu's cheek. "Come to pray to your mechanical mother. What a shame, she does not come - should have come to see me instead." The hand presses back now, forceful, tangling roughly in Aamu's hair. "But you didn't, and now you never will. Pity it's so close to the time of darkness. Pity you'll never see the light."
And just like that the spirit is gone, leaving Aamu... unchanged.
For now.
Aamu has been cursed! As the moon grows brighter he will find his vision growing worse, leaving him totally blind by the full moon (mid-season)! Then it will slowly improve, being fully restored at new moon (end/beginning of the season). This cycle will continue until he breaks his curse!
He can break the curse by:
- Kiss someone under the new moon.
- Sing a song under the half moon.
- Bathe naked under the full moon.
Since it's LongNight, this curse won't take action until the moon returns at the start of the new season. Lucky duck ;D
