Description
« Dogs are Man’s best friend »
It was an eerie nigh when Chess decided to wander alone, again, in the empty city. She was lucky to have awoken so early, the world was silent as she liked it to be. Her dark fur blended perfectly in this environment. No sound, and the sky was clouded. However, Chess liked it like that.
She wasn’t one of the first « reborn » Mogis so she was happy to be able to be a little alone here. She liked the feeling of loneliness, as if the world had stopped moving and she was the only being on it. For hours, she wandered alone, digging the earth with her little fingers to find a clue or something about the people of the past. Here and there she found strange things, gathered them and went back in the dark city. Each time, she looked at the sky and could only see black clouds.
She sighed. Chess wasn’t here only for her own pleasure, she was also trying to help people to find a clue or maybe understand better what happened after their long and spiritual sleep. Unfortunately, she was only able to bring “misfortune” to her friends. She wasn’t someone unlucky, it was WHEN she tended to appear that led people think of her like that. You had a problem ? She was always here to help the second after. Because of her dark fur, Chess would go unnoticed in the shadows, she was always very discreet and would only talk when necessary. She jump scared many people because of her habit and was finally judged as the “harbinger of misfortune” by some Mogis.
She pretended she wasn’t affected by such a name and those stupid rumors people made up because of those unfortunate events, but in reality she was deep down hurt by them.
It wasn’t tonight that she would come with a clue, she had only discovered rusty metals and strange plastics part. She sighed again. Chess was almost begging the great Tree to send her a sign, something so she would feel less alone. Nothing happened and she continued to search.
Later, she entered the ruins of a house. The night was colder than what she imagined and she rested a little in the garden of the ruins. Tired, she fall asleep all alone on a tiny field of flowers at the top of a little ground abnormality in the garden. She dreamed this night. The dream was even more eerie than the night itself. It was as if the dream wasn’t really her dream but something else… Someone else’s. Chess could hear laughs and felt strong feelings of happiness. She couldn’t quite grasp where all the feelings where coming from, she just felt… Serene and not alone anymore. Suddenly, she bumped onto someone or something. The strange form was all blurred and Chess whispered some excuses to it. She couldn’t see anything but she could swear the form smiled back at her and told her:
“You’re never alone as long as your heart believes it.”
She woke up all of a sudden and looked around her, looking for the strange form or someone. There wasn’t anyone, except the silence. Chess still felt her heart pounding and this strange feeling of happiness. She stared a few seconds at the little rock she had taken as a pillow. She moved it softly and touched the ground. There was something there and it was warm. She dug and found a little bell with a strange figure on it. It was such a shiny item and the sound was so pleasant, like a melody. As she reached it, the item was suddenly filled with a kind of magic and came in her paws. Chess heard someone laugh again and felt again a rush of happiness.
She couldn’t know the bell was a little dog bell’s. She couldn’t know the link between the dog and the human. But she felt all the love they had created through their bond and she had never been happier than now. She realized she wasn’t alone and had never been.
In the sky, two stars glowed in the distance as the night was dying away.
Whaou did think I would write a whole "story" but this Mogi inspired me soooooo much ;v;
I simply adore the principle around "gizmos" and I really wanted to explore the means and ways of obtening such an artifact. Chess was named like that because the design reminded me of the Cheshire cat. Though, I wanted to go with the "opposite" theme of this mythical character. The Cheshire is normaly the one either making jokes or bringing "bad luck" in a way, I wanted this Mogi to be quite the opposite ! A kind hearted loner, misjudged and still affected by it.
Don't worry, she is more than happy with her wings and as understood what it meant to have friends <3
PS: I'm still veryyy busy, I took the time to make this entry (on my very old tablet because I'm not at home) as I loved the character and didn't want to miss the chance to get it as I really love the lore of Mogiland and the design ;v;

The character looks so mysterious, and I just adore the hazy neon color scheme. It harkens back to the pastel aesthetic of early 90's - late 80's sci fi for me.

I really wanted to keep the atmosphere "mysterious" and I'm really happy you think it.
And yes, you're quite right. I didn't see it like that !
