Story Shortfics

There was said to have been a very important figure in Mixel society known only as "Lorelei". Though she may have done her hardest to record the greatest of histories, her mysterious vanishing was a great fall. To this day, no one knows where she is or could be now or ever. She may have been the keeper of the mythical mixel equivalent to the Library of Babel. She was theorized to also have been a poet, as a tablet dubbed "The Rainbow Connection" had mysterious writing and her name below it all. The writing itself is quite blurry and in an ancient language so it was said to have been either a poem or a theory upon the entirety of mixellity and their connections to the cubits they used. Some famous artists used the title and what it made their minds come up with as an inspiration such as the famous music artist couple Lindsee Strumma and Chartone "Charlie" Notecoordion (named after the dance moves "Charleston" and "Lindsay") who wrote a song based on it (which is a parallel to Kermit's "The Rainbow Connection")

Yukionna (Yuki Onna) may have been an early myth deriving from a story that goes against befriending (or generally interacting with) Frosticons (possibly mainly the ones in the war) due to the ongoing Infernite-Frosticon War that was happening at the time. Nowadays, it's considered tribecist, though adaptations were made to make her more sympathetic (something along the lines of Frozen)

There's a legend of a quartet of mixels inspired by the Gandharvas, Alkanosts, Hespirdes, and barbershop quartets whose voices can relieve anyone of their worries, and of any other want or need but to follow and dance with them as background performers. They seem to have no ulterior motive other than to entertain, and are usually portrayed as morally light-gray or people who take others on a mental tour of their happy place.

There have been many a common folktale in Wiztastic culture, but one of the most well-known would be "The Puppet's Veil", about a revered hero that has lost their grace setting out to find a living robe that wore a mask, and the two making a deal that would make it so the robe that wore a mask would encase the mixel's body in cursed cloth and their face in puppet's porcelain. The robe that possessed the mixel with its mask (used for its face) put onto the mixel had used its new vessel's innate powers for tyranny and chaos, igniting the land with blasts of Majignyte (Ma-jig-night-eeh, a material commonly produced by the Majikxsanum mineral commonly used in the creation of the Wiztastics' training wands for younger mixels learning to use magic. Magnifo, having been born without the natural ability to withhold this power, showed a promising potential with each act with his own traning wands that he had kept and happily continued to use ever since he was 9, and 9 being a lucky number in Wiztastic superstition, thst was the age that the average Wiztastic child would have been given their own training wand.). Many say that this may have led to the creation of the mysterious Muncholand, as lots of mixel tribes not of the colors of the rainbow cubit don't have as clear creation origins (and even then, some aren't sure if the Maxinism theory/religion is an accurate telling of their creation), and the Munchos (along with the Medivals but we're focusing on the Munchos right now) are especially a mystery to many.

Oorta, one of the members of the First Orbitons, had thousands of visions that she prayed would stop, but they kept coming, and they became more surreal and existentially terrifying until one day... she never woke up. Some might say she may have finally succumbed to the visions and woke up in another plane of existence, never to return. And one day, she mysteriously disappeared. That's where the superstition of mentioning her name (at least vocally) leading to death on the next day came from, basically our equivalent to The Bard's Play. Some say the last or first vision she ever had was the one that predicted the creation and disaster of tbe Gravity Plug, or perhaps her visions manifested into physicality and dragged her down deep into the depths of Max-knows-where-but-largely-theorized-to-be-her-own-broken-mindscape, though it also threatened to drag down whatever it could find, so an enourmous plug was created to seal the horrors away. Many say that many of the First Glowkies came from there, and that they were once much more threatening and chaotic as a result, though they seemed to be influenced by the peace of the others and since then, they have become more or less chaotic neutral/good/perhaps light-gray. This may have been why the Orbitons highly feared the Glowkies and the fear persisted up until the current century where the three main Orbitons (aka Niksput, Rokit, and Nurp-Naut) stayed on Mixel Moon while the many, many other Orbitons migrated to another planet, finding the moon to be devoid of proper crop-growing for their food and cubit supply,except the Glowkies, like I said, gradually mellowed out (which is an understatement if you ask about their concerts), so now the Orbitons and Glowkies have signed a peace constitution and the war has now ended. I guess that makes it weird that Niksput was the main model of the statue of the mixel that established an alliance between the Planet Chromatians and the Mixlunarians instead of both him and Globert.

Though there have been accounts of a legendarily terrifying Glowkie emperor who sucked the souls from their own brethren, this myth of Ooo (the censoring name for Oorta) seemed to be the only evidence that would fit the legend's possibly existence the most, as the visions would hypothetically drive the emperor insane and/or give or enhance dangerous powers of soul-sucking (of which only the emperor was certain of having, as other Glowkies being said to have it is just a stereotype made to make them look like monsters).

In fact, some aren't even sure the maniacal Glowkie emperor exists, as they never even had a name, but some Glowkies have made a myth about the maniacal emperor being the first to arrive from the Plug, and Carwennan being the one to seal him in the Gravity Plug with the Glass of Prismonian, which could harden a Glowkie's eyelight into a beam. Hence, the law made to warn against its opening and the folksong supporting its caution.

The Glass of Prismonian itself, however, is an even bigger mystery, as it's said to have come from the rarest type of crystal (rarest because of its glistening appearance that shined every color of the rainbow akin to a mystic quartz, and high frequencies). However its title has been debated for a long time, as it was either named after the crystal or a mixel named Prismonian, or the name of a long and lost tribe, perhaps of the very mixels of the Maximum Mixel that assisted in creation of Planet Chromatia and the galaxy that inhabited it.

There's a yeti-like myth of the Blizzu-Bozu, a Frosticon that looks like a mix of a teru bozu and a yeti in a dress. They live in the mountains and they take home to eat whoever wanders off too far (because they mistake them for a big mixamal), but if the victim's lucky, they'll recognize that they're a mixel and not a mixamal so they'll guide them back home (depending on who tells the story, children may be more lucky than adults or the reverse, with children's size being comparable to a mixamal)

There is a forest surrounding the Fang Gang Farmlands (said farmlands often called "Kuedee Dakto" in the Fang Gang language, pronounced "Kuh-eeh-dee Dah-k-tou" and meaning "Center Destined"), we just haven't seen it. The Farmlands, however, are very sacred in Fang Gang culture for it was the first area that (or "the Center Destined to") brought them a place live in with many, many trees that can be carved into colorful totem poles that can scare off nixels and serve as poles that accentuate the energies of the god that they worship.

The reason I chose the commonly-known lucky number to be 9 is because of many inspirations derived from various myths and folklore on my part such as the myth of cats having 9 lives, the 9 Muses of Greece, the 9 entwined worlds if Yggdrasil, and a blurry recollection of its connection to ancient Egyptian civilization recollection by the Planet Dolan channel (which I got bored of).

Surenaides are siren-like creatures that seem to resemble anthromorphic fish or reverse mermaids. Sharx may be one of these creatures, but even if he was, how would he survive for so long without a splash of water (is there a pumping water tank in that barrel of his?) and why did he leave? Did his parents send him away to save him from an underwater war? Was it between the surenaides and the Akwatixels? How young was Sharx when he was sent to land? And does he even know about his surenaide heritage?
