Okay gang, it's time. I wrote this in one go, so there will probably be mistakes lmao
Happy spooky month Sky Community :D
And without further ado, here is my Sky creepypasta!
Moths
They're what many of the people of this game call new folk.
Others call them Sparrows.
Either way, they are admired by all. For such a beautiful game, with such impact, when someone new joins everyone hopes they will reach the end.
Most do.
And many do not return.
But, tragically that is not what this story is about, not quite, at least.
This tale is of a much smaller scale. Something that happened to me almost a year ago.
~~~
Back then I had finally become a pro. Established a main outfit, made some OCs, and had a handful of friends I saw online regularly. Not very many, I've never been a social person.
On this particular day, I was candle running my normal route. Hitting both Prarie and forest, along with Geyser and Grandma.
However, on my way to Grandma's, I noticed the server was completely empty. Not a single sign of there being another person.
Just me.
Alone.
That was, until I saw the familiar sight of a broken star at the edge of my screen. The tell tale sign of someone losing all their light.
Not an uncommon sight in forest.
Naturally, as most people would do, I flew toward where the player was.
I hardly noticed when the music cut out.
But, I rarely had the music on anymore anyway, what, with how often I'll spontaneously start playing music.
As I suspected, I found an unlit skykid in the river.
They were just standing there.
I didn't think much of it, perhaps they had to go afk for a moment and forgot to move somewhere safer.
I placed my torch down, and decided to stick around to grab any wing light they might lose.
I stood there for quite some time, but not a single light was lost.
The skykid was still not moving.
But I noticed they weren't afk either. None of the indications of such were present.
Out of curiosity, I held my candle out to them.
Immediately they lit me, and I saw they were a moth.
Maybe they were confused?
I tried pointing them to the nearest light,
But
They just. Kept. Standing. There.
Eventually, I decided this wasn't worth my time. Grandma was starting soon, and they were probably just a veteran trying to troll someone.
I flew away, intending to go straight to Grandma's.
But I was back beside the moth.
...okay?
Perhaps I just lagged. My game doesn't always run very smoothly.
I tried again.
But...
I was right back in the same spot.
Maybe I was going too fast?
I tried walking away, but, while my skykid woud have the walking animation, they wouldn't move anywhere. I just kept rubberbanding back to the same spot.
The moth
Took a step toward me.
Then another
And another.
Until they were basically standing on top of me.
I tried moving my camera to get a better look at them.
Something was wrong.
Their cape had no stars. And I realized they were taller than me.
Their body stretched unnaturally upwards, neck and limbs becoming slightly too long.
The lights that should have been behind their mask were dark. The light on their chest wasn't there.
They- it crouched down and produced a deep call.
That sound...
Stars that sound.
It hurt. It hurt so bad.
My ears were ringing.
It hurt like hell.
Ithurtit h urt
Like it was clawing my eardrums out.
Like millions of skykids screaming together distorted through a broken speaker.
My ears were ringing. I had to take my headphones out.
I hadn't noticed that my light had run out. My poor skykid was unlit.
I could hardly see them through the black streaks the rain was leaving on my screen.
There was something looming above them.
I didn't know what it was going to do. I didn't care.
I closed the game.
~~~
It took me weeks to start playing again.
I was so afraid that I wouldn't even be able to.
But I had to give it a shot at least once.
Miraculously, it worked! I was back in the game.
Something was amiss.
My skykid looked different.
Instead of my usual outfit, they were in moth attire with a few exceptions.
The red earmuffs, the monk blindfold, and the feast scarf were also on it.
I was back to the default hight, and I only had one star.
One of my friends tped to me and said hi,
But I couldn't interact with the hug they offered.
I could move, but I couldn't use any of my emotes.
My chat wasn't working.
And...
I saw it.
The moth.
I didn't think.
Just closed the game.
~~~
Of course, I could never leave Sky forever.
The next time I logged on, everything was fine again.
I found that friend online and apologized. Told them I had been hacked.
Maybe I had. I still don't know.
Sometimes I'll still see it.
It'll creep up on me, do it's terrible call.
And every time, I stop playing for the day.
Usually the day after I will have that outfit, but relogging seems to fix it. Sometimes it takes a few tries.
I haven't heard of anything like this before. Nobody's talked about it, at least.
Perhaps they all stop playing after it happens.
I admit sometimes I want to as well.
I've had a few close calls, and I don't want to know what happens if I stick around when I see it.
I hope
I hope it leaves me alone.
I don't want to deal with it anymore.
