Dark Origins: Chapter 36

A heavy pile of texts was waiting for Ferris when she got back. In preparation for her change in the Guild's ranks and the work it entailed, she was told to review the names of the Two Kingdoms' noble houses and their history. It was such a tedious chore that she wasn't sure if she preferred it to getting thrashed around the tourney grounds or not. Although she had learned a lot in a short time, she was painfully aware that academics weren't her strong suit... She practically made her little sister look like a scholar by comparison. The young woman glanced across the table they shared in the study. Ciara's handwriting was clear and simple, yet elegant: Ferris' was sharp, a few of her letters somewhat erratic. Ciara picked up the verse and prose from books as easily as breathing: Ferris had struggled to read for a long time. Ciara understood various subjects: Ferris didn't take quickly to much beyond magic and plants. Madame Valda blamed it largely on her late start, but Ferris just

Dark Origins: Chapter 35

The young woman kicked off the ground in a parade of orange sparks. Gone was her worn dagger, which for years now had been tucked away in her storage chest as a reassuring relic of hard days long past. Instead, a blade drawn from her own magic—her Astral Dagger, as she fondly named it for its star-like shape at the top of its hilt—was summoned into her hand. She struck fast, all of this in a single action as the skeleton yelled her name to try and stop her impatient maneuver. It was blocked easily with a swipe of Madame Valda's hand, a flash of golden-green emitting from her fingertips. She gave her student a small, provoking grin, "It's good to see that you'll listen to some of your teachers, even if you won't always listen to me." Feeling the shift of energy around her, Ferris leapt away. Valda summoned her own weapon: A long, decorative lance that reminded Ferris of a clock's hand. Not holding back, her master swung for her stomach; however, already too late, the elder missed by

Dark Origins: Chapter 34

Ferris awoke late the next morning, punished for it by a pillow sent soaring at her face from across the room. The loud chatter of other mages swam into her muddled consciousness as she sat up and wiped her eyes. She grumbled to herself before facing her attacker, How does she still have that kind of strength...? Another young woman with dark-skin, fiery eyes, and a loose ponytail stood at the foot of her bed with her hands on her hips. Iva was one of the mages that had traveled with Tobius to find her and Ciara five years ago. Four years older and nine years Ferris' senior, she was an adept magic user—one of the best orange mages in the Guild. Despite her tomboyish and often reckless personality, she was something of a sisterly figure to many young students. She was also heavily pregnant. She and the potions master, Percy, married the previous year and were expecting their first child to enter the world soon. As they both insisted on working and no one wanted to leave Iva alone at

Dark Origins: Chapter 33

Ferris wasn’t about to stake her future on the Guildmaster’s intuitions or theories. If she couldn’t get a proper explanation from him, then she would get one from Madame Valda. Usually, her master could be found in the Guild’s study, meditating over old texts. However, it was so late into the evening that the young woman marched straight to the only other place she could’ve been at that hour. The building’s second floor was much quieter than the first. Almost half of it was devoted to storage and another section was quartered off for the heads’ private rooms. Bunking in one of the communal rooms downstairs, Ferris had very little reason to ever come up here. Still, she knew the halls well. She walked down a long passage lit only by a single window at the far end, stopping about midways, and knocked. Valda hadn’t yet prepared for bed. Dark robes with a burgundy trim were fastened to her frame with a loose belt. Her grey hair—which Ferris always thought to be abnormally long—was

Dark Origins: Chapter 32

The end of the meal and escort back to the Guild were unpleasant. The two fell into a deep silence after the worst of their daily contempt for each other was hurled. They kept a few paces apart as they walked—close enough for others to recognize that they were together, but not close enough for either of them to risk being in arm’s length of the other. The Guild’s thick, ‘W’ frame was well-lit and crowded with mages returning from their work or studies. To the left of the foyer was the commons, followed by a stretch of quarters for on-site magic-users and their guests—as well as a set of stairs that led to the second floor with additional quarters and storage. To the right was the dining hall and kitchens, where most of the evening uproar could still be heard as people relaxed after finishing their own supper. The center hall split off the laboratory and infirmary, cutting into a second passage that led to the study, archives, Guildmaster’s office, and a spare room. Each of the three

Dark Origins: Chapter 31 (Start of Act Two)

It'd been a long time since Ferris had been stalked through the Boroughs. She was such a reckless kid back then, never completely trusting anyone and unable to be trusted in-turn. There were a number of times Ferris had tried running away with her sister only to get caught within a few, short hours. She'd grown since. Now, she was much more subtle with her tricks and schemes. "Honestly, they're not even trying," Ciara murmured next to her as they walked through the market. She turned her head to watch the edge of a street corner three buildings behind them. "Oh, hush. Not everyone can be as good as yours truly," Ferris replied, "Now don't look at them. You'll scare them off." "I will not!" "You're making that evil face." "Remind me again: Who taught me how to make it?" Ferris chuckled, stopping in front of an apple cart. Over five years had passed since she’d been brought to the Arnaud Mages' Guild, set within the heart of the Boroughs. She was a young woman now. In all that time

Dark Origins: Chapter 30 (END of ACT ONE)

Travelling the main roads by steed was certainly a lot faster than trying to cut through the wilderness on foot. The trio’s weeks spent trying to reach Mt. Ebott turned to mere days crossing to the other side of it under the mages’ watchful eyes. It wasn’t a pleasant trip. Lamont, Avalbanshee, and the others that had been split across Icefield’s forests had joined them. The group tried to speak with the two sisters, as if some light small-talk would change how they viewed their own kidnapping. Each time, Ferris would bristle like a cat while Ciara stayed mute, glued to her side whenever the two were within each other’s reach. After the first day or two, they gave up, their only interactions afterward consisting of shared meals and simple orders. Castellar was kept several paces in front of them for the entire duration of the journey, always riding alongside the one who claimed to be his teacher. Besides him, no one bothered to speak to the skeleton—and even then, it was always in

My Bio

Hello, and welcome to my DA page! I'm SilyaBeeodess, and what I mostly work on are comics for the various fandoms I'm in. Thus far, my top two projects that I'm working on on here are "FNAF:SOP" and a series of Steven Universe comics. I also write a lot of fanfiction, one of my most popular being "Pokemon: Guardians of Light."

Whatever you're here for, please be sure to leave a comment! :)

FAQ:
1.) Do you do requests or commissions?
*I don't take requests, but some commissions are currently open. You can find slots and prices here: silyabeeodess.deviantart.com/a…
2.) How long does it take for you to update your stories/comics?
*Since I'm in college and have a lot of projects--both on here and those I'm trying to make money on-- going on, I really have to balance my time between them, so it varies. Normally, once I finish a chapter/part of one thing, I'll hop onto another. Popularity and changes in the stories are also factors. Though I set out to finish what projects I start, there's no telling when I'll finish them.
3.) Can I translate/voice a dub/make fanart based on your works?
*I can't say this enough: HECK YESSSSSS!!!! I love that stuff and it's a huge motivator for me. Just be sure to ALWAYS credit me and please let me see whatever it is you made once you're done! If it's a translation or a dub, I'll probably even create a link for it in the description of the original work.
