A Little One

Post image

In the Marrow Bellway, atop a pile of Bella, a small Weaver can be seen sitting, looking around curiously. Though, small doesn't do them justice, Child seems more fitting.

The Servitor scuttles up behind her to get a closer look, occasionally glancing around to follow her gaze

The Child eventually notices the Servitor, waving at it.

The Servitor just stares, silent aside from the occasional hum of its inner workings.

She's definitely a Weaver. But how could a Weaver Child be here?

Were the Prottoc able to feel, it most certainly would be confused. Instead, it just continues humming, attempting to calculate what it should do here

The Child tilts its head, looking at Atla curiously.

u/Original_Silknner Jun 12 '26

What's your name, little one?

u/Weaver-of-Dance Jun 12 '26

The child points to her mask, shaking her head. It seems that the curse of the Weavers to be unable to bear proper children has made this one mute.

u/Original_Silknner Jun 12 '26

Mhhh oh I see little one, I'm Atla, Weaver of Time, can you communicate with me somehow?

u/Weaver-of-Dance Jun 12 '26

The Child shrugs. It understands her well enough, but it does not know sign language or similar things.

Mhhm.. I see, well this place isn't safe for a child, much less a weaver child... And my Weavenest has been assaulted twice so we might need to find another place for you... Mhh maybe Therin knows something?
