Not sure if I will ever manage to finish the lil Kallamar fic I had planned and started for months at this point. But I still wanna share the idea.
Basically, Kallamar was supposed to be a very sickish child. Would get sick easily, was very fragile and sensitive. His mom would take care of him and try to keep him safe.
At some point he would start hearing a voice, nobody else seemed to hear. Following it outside the borders of the village at some point…finding the blue crown, which would whisper so softly and welcoming, as to not scare the child.
Time forward, the crown would keep the squid healthy and he could also keep the people of his village safe…despite the crown wanting expansion, claiming to having the cure to all pestilence. As much as the cause of it.
The fic would end with people obviously dying from old age, Kallamar wanting the crown to help his mother but all it has to say is “That is no curse, nor sickness, young God, this is age and death which will come for all mortals eventually.”
Kallamar would stay at the dead and empty village for a while, till Shamura finds him.
Aka, I wanted to give a bit of more depth to Kallamars fear of death.
