I am moving and continuing my Wyrd Girls story from What Happened In Your Game Today? over here to Creative Corner. I plan to repost and possibly expand the existing story here and, of course, continue it. - L

Miranda https://i.imgur.com/xffY1N4.png Miranda Silveroak-Goth Age: Teen Traits: Creative, Good Parents: Cassandra Goth (mother), Gwen Silveroak-Goth (mother), Don Lothario (father)
Cassie had met Don Lothario at club shortly after she moved to the city. He was a handsome, suave, older man. She knew enough to recognize a good pick-up line but he was nice and funny about it. She'd agreed to meet him again at a family restaurant of all places. She had a good time. He flirted outrageously, of course, but somehow managed to not be pushy about it. https://i.imgur.com/nMNXF7T.png
Cassie started spending more and more time with him. https://i.imgur.com/zzRnWek.png
He was vibrant and passionate... distracting her from the darkness that lurked in her heart. https://i.imgur.com/AxeCLgt.png
The fact that the paparazzi ate it up, getting her (and him) into the media was a bonus. Don knew how to play to the media. https://i.imgur.com/l2pfFsA.png
Her career was rocketing upwards. https://i.imgur.com/2Lr6NUa.png
Cassie started staying at his place in the Valley more and more... https://i.imgur.com/EjxwxoY.png
Eventually, it just made sense for her to move in full time. https://i.imgur.com/bckQYuj.png
They didn't really talk about where things were going. They didn't really talk much. https://i.imgur.com/eWlyhZd.png
Cassie was amazed that Gwen wasn't hurt by her decision. For Gwen, there was never any question... they were friends and they would always be friends. This was what Cassie needed to do next in her life. Gwen would support her and be there for her, where ever life led. https://i.imgur.com/fYNVyYA.png
Of course, life takes some interesting twists and turns. https://i.imgur.com/E2KmynW.png
She probably should have expected this, given that Don though "fidelity" had something to do with stereos. It probably shouldn't even have surprised her to find him was messing around with her old college friend, Jessie. https://i.imgur.com/z4gcLPu.png
Well, Cassie wasn't about to let Don have any doubt which of them was the best woman. She'd prove it!
Don had no objections. https://i.imgur.com/jVwW1zV.png
Afterwards, however, Cassie insisted that Don take their relationship seriously from now on. https://i.imgur.com/bHzvcSE.png
Don was very apologetic and assured Cassie he would do whatever it to took to prove himself to her. https://i.imgur.com/13V8cOq.png
The day of the wedding... https://i.imgur.com/gQQGGxB.png
It was a small affair... just family and friends and a setup in Don's back yard.
It had been Cassie's idea to invite her college friends, Gwen, Jessie and Luna... https://i.imgur.com/SyxhhG3.png
Don was happy to meet more of Cassie's college friends... https://i.imgur.com/zFGgi16.png
Don was happy with the whole thing really. Cassie was beautiful, fun... and a star. She was perfect. https://i.imgur.com/A2k264n.png
So... why did he feel lead weights in his stomach? Why did he want to freeze, or run, or shout FIRE at the top of his lungs? https://i.imgur.com/ibpaMUO.png
Don wasn't one for soul searching. He knew that there wasn't much worse he could possibly do to Cassie than breaking up her at the moment he was supposed to be marrying her. He also knew, without any doubt at all, that one of those few things that would be worse was actually marry her.
Instead he broke her heart. https://i.imgur.com/4yz6CYu.png
Gwen Silveroak was an ordinary teenage girl, or so, Doug Brown, insisted. https://i.imgur.com/XyPKsnK.png
Doug was a school teacher in Willow Creek. He had had a brief but memorable relationship with Gwen's mother, Arianrhod, some years ago. When he heard that she had passed away, leaving a daughter behind, Doug and his wife Lillian had adopted Gwen. https://i.imgur.com/UDhy85F.png
... a pastime Lillian, who was a professional painter, encouraged her in. https://i.imgur.com/MhJunDd.png
She also liked to spend a lot of time outdoors... and had what Doug called "a vivid imagination." https://i.imgur.com/78duFqT.png
That "vivid imagination" made it hard for Gwen when she started at the local high school. Odd, intelligent and prone to outbursts of seemingly random emotion, Gwen didn't fit in. Moreover, she didn't even try. There was one other student she got along with...
Gwen and Cassie both enrolled in the Fine Arts program, where Gwen pursued her painting and Cassie her music. https://i.imgur.com/8y75tIU.png
Their relationship continued... https://i.imgur.com/7Db0bbX.png
... growing deeper and stronger. https://i.imgur.com/n1g0WPD.png
Until...
New Years Eve, at the start of their last term. Gwen left Cassie alone at the bar, investigating rumors of a secret society. Cassie didn't speak about what happened that night but afterward something was lodged in her heart, pushing her away from Gwen. https://i.imgur.com/UeH8oEh.png
After University, they got an apartment together in the City. Gwen didn't push. She just made sure Cassie knew she was there and accepted her lovers distance. Gwen understood, healing would take time and the willingness to heal. Gwen had time, far more than Cassie understood, and she would be there when Cassie was ready to heal. https://i.imgur.com/Eof3r3m.png
Cassie poured her feelings into her music... https://i.imgur.com/XToYB4T.png
... and looked for something, even if only a distraction. https://i.imgur.com/AXEGOMZ.png
I have been meaning to read your Wyrd Girls story, it always looks so interesting. I have to start prioritizing my time better so I can find more time to read what my fellow storytellers are writing. I really love that you've made the move down here to CC. You are going to love the freedom to be more creative and not worry so much about spamming a thread. You really can't spam it, it's your thread to do with what you want.
I have been meaning to ask and since it's on my mind I will. Are you a fan of the Discworld series, and did it inspire your choice of title and the story? When seen the title I instantly thought of the Discworld book Wyrd Sisters.
I look forward to getting to know your story, and welcome to Creative Corner!
@DaniRose2143, thank you for the welcome. I hope you enjoy the story.
While Discworld has been recommended to me often, I confess I've never read it. I suspect this is more a case of Terry Pratchett and I sharing a taste in mythology.
The Wyrd Girls, the Wyrd (weird) Sisters, the Three Witches, the Norns, the Fates, the Wiccan Triple Goddess... Wyrd being the Anglo-Saxon term roughly translated as fate or destiny... and my three witches.
Not that Gwen, Cassie and Miranda are goddesses... well, at least I'm pretty sure Cassie and Miranda aren't. Gwen?
Gwen had moved out of the city into a sprawling farm house by the river in Old New Henford. When Cassie moved in, she had wondered how Gwen could afford the place but Gwen had simply smiled.
Some months later, Cassie gave birth to a daughter - Miranda. https://i.imgur.com/preTFqO.png
Gwen happily welcomed Miranda into the family as if she was her own daughter. Cassie was grateful and glad of a partner who didn't mind late night feedings and changing. Even as a baby, Miranda already felt a special bond to Gwen as a second mother. https://i.imgur.com/JzONNUN.png
The years that followed were good ones...
Miranda grew into a precocious toddler. https://i.imgur.com/cZNtHSq.png
Gwen continued to pursue her art... https://i.imgur.com/akm0a8C.png
... and her Craft. https://i.imgur.com/EYGZiQC.png
Cassie gave up giving concerts to focus on raising Miranda but she continued with her music. https://i.imgur.com/udX06d0.png
Miranda had a happy childhood... https://i.imgur.com/AIKbLyR.png
... full of love, joy and wonder. https://i.imgur.com/EaAkTsJ.png
Cassie loved Gwen with all her heart. She knew that now and wondered why she had ever doubted it. It was time, she decided... https://i.imgur.com/yDM8ZNQ.png
In the company of family and friends, they married. https://i.imgur.com/eOq5opX.png
Cassie even invited Don and he was happy for them both. Some members of wedding party still felt some bitterness toward him though. Gwen turned him into a pumpkin. https://i.imgur.com/A4WS3hb.png
It was an exciting day... a little too exciting for Miranda who wore out before the ceremony was over. https://i.imgur.com/QWkrmYK.png
More years passed and Miranda grew... https://i.imgur.com/yXL8h68.png
She did well in school... https://i.imgur.com/5f6NJNy.png
...and made friends. https://i.imgur.com/RQgsvft.png
Cassie and Don agreed that he should be part of Miranda's life... https://i.imgur.com/TAWX3n6.png
... but Gwen continued to turn him into a pumpkin when no one was looking. https://i.imgur.com/Oahn9l5.png
Cassie released some of her new music. Despite more than a decade having passed, her fans hadn't abandoned her. People loved her new songs! https://i.imgur.com/7Sunrfz.png
"All the stories of magic we read to you at night... some of them are true. This was my first wand and now it's yours." https://i.imgur.com/pGUdlTF.png
Even after reading the through the book, Miranda wasn't sure she believed in it all. https://i.imgur.com/opKJBkB.png
The quick trip into the Magic Realm with her moms was eye opening. https://i.imgur.com/bQvrahb.png
Unfortunately, even here, Cassie continued to be embarrassing. I mean, sure mom, you're a world famous musician but this is a whole different Realm... Stop giving autographs! https://i.imgur.com/RuUY70X.png
New Years Eve at Orchid A Go Go was worse... what's a teenager to do but roll her eyes as her mom mugs for the paparazzi and tries to get cheers from the crowd. https://i.imgur.com/6TWWmnL.png
At least Gwen seemed to understand. She even had a quiet toast for Miranda, a special drink Gwen prepared herself.
Gwen secretly hoped that the potion would keep Miranda safe. Even in the city, she could smell something coming with the night wind and the light of rising moon.
@DaniRose2143 I love the Terry Pratchett Wyrd Sisters too but doesn't the title come from Macbeth originally?
edit: okay yes @luciusstorm it's much older than that :)
Titles aren't subject to copyright, so there's no worry. Also, I, too, have bookmarked this thread. :)
What a cad Don is! Of course, he is and always has been one. He likes to chat up the ladies to get into their pants! Run, Cassie, run.
Just read part one. I had no idea of where Gwen got her start. So very interesting. (My emails load the newest first, so that that I end up reading the newer ones before the slightly older ones.) :open_mouth:
From here, I'm going to start reposting (and probably lightly editing) the original posts from WHIYGT, just so everything is together in one place. Once I'm "caught up" I'll start posting new stuff. :)
It was a busy time for Miranda... juggling school and learning magic from Gwen. At least learning magic was fun. https://i.imgur.com/Pd3K0eU.jpg
Of course, mom was barely around anymore now that she had gone back to performing. Still, Miranda thought, does she have to perform all the time? She can hardly go out anymore without being mobbed by fans and the paparazzi. She doesn't have to like it so much, does she? https://i.imgur.com/KHm1gyT.jpg
At least mom took Miranda into the city when she went for one of her shows... which gave Miranda a chance to sneak off with a new friend to visit the Spice Festival.
Of course, mom being off giving a concert wasn't all bad. It meant, with Gwen staying behind to tend the farm, Miranda could go to the Finchwick Fair alone. OK, not as glamorous as the city but a chance to finally spend some time with Imran.
Cassie was so sure they were safe, but Gwen had felt them, even in her sleep... dark and hungry, lurking around the house in the night . So, she kept her eye on Miranda from afar...
"I might need to talk to that girl about a few things," Gwen mused. https://i.imgur.com/xexl2qG.png
