vanimadinI'm tinkering with the beginning of a new Valdemar fic, it's still really vague in my head but basically it follows a Companion named Hart, who was born with a spot on her nose, almost like a birthmark. But over time as she grows, the spot spreads and more spots appear until by the time she's fully-grown she's mostly covered in brown.
This is because her Link to the Nodes and Heartstones is... TENUOUS, at best, so she's not being bleached by their magic like a normal Companion would be. She also struggles with Mindspeech at times, and other basic Companion Things like running faster than an ordinary horse. She does still have blue eyes, though, and I think a white mane, though a brown tail.
So the fic, Heart, is about her Choosing Journey and the struggles it entails, and Hart's own struggle to find her place in the world, all things considered. And then finding her Chosen and it all falling into place in the blink of an eye. idk just something I'm tinkering with.
