Dark green background with white text. The word "die" is highlighted. Text reads: 
"Corrosion of faith happened over time. An accumulation of injustices, a net of hairline fractures. A young boy, cheeks smudged with dirt and tears, following a group of Crythille soldiers to his new home. Because how could the gods have let his sister die like that?
The gods had abandoned them.
A teen still, clutching his ribs as he collapsed against a tree, taste of copper gasping from his throat. His gaze flickering over the horizon, the battlefield where he’d left his comrades.
The gods had abandoned them.
The destruction of Bavinko. The fate of the Deithi. Arin’s death. Crack after crack, blow after blow. A certainty, echoing louder and louder. 
The gods had abandoned them.
Why else could these things have happened? If the gods cared, if they cared at all, they would’ve been there. They would’ve helped. But not even Yuki β€” Arin had been Yuki’s favourite. Yuki was supposed to protect them. The fact that she hadn’t should have been enough. Yet Queros’ faith had persevered. Cracked, chipped, bruised, but unyielding.
Until now."

No perish, but I do have 'die'. This is part of the opening scene of book 3 #WIPsnips

A sealbear (seal with a bear-inspired face) makes a banana pose in the sand. It has a fluffy yellow belly, while its back and head are blue with purple patterns. It is smiling and its tongue sticks out a bit. Tiny hearts float around its head

Miro, a freckled enby with a white tuft in their otherwise brown hair, is sitting on a chimney. Jagemir (Jags), a man with short dark hair is standing on the roof next to them, staring into the distance. He has a mountain goat embroidered on his skirt flap.

White text on a dark green background. The word 'leader' is highlighted. Text reads:

As soon as the customer had disappeared back into the crowd, Jicin turned to Queros. β€œWhat is it?”

He wanted to leave. He wanted nothing more than to leave, leave Jicin to her life and her business instead of dragging her into this mess once more.

β€œI need your help again,” he said, despite that. He found her eyes. β€œWe think Zarando is trying to communicate. We have a potion that might allow me to talk to him, but we’ll need ingredients.”

Jicin blew out a gust of air. β€œAgain? I β€” ” her eyes flit over his face. Queros hardened his gaze, armouring it with all the authority he could muster. His squad leader gaze. The gaze that didn’t ask, but commanded. The gaze that β€” wavered, just a bit, as a pain shot through his head. He brought his hand to his forehead, massaged his temples.

β€œThe list isn’t too long.” He took the paper from his pocket. The ink had smudged a bit, but hopefully it was still readable. β€œHow many days would you need for these?”

I don't have manager, but I do have 'squad leader', which is basically the same. Queros has come to the market to ask Jicin for a favour πŸ‘€ #WIPsnips #WriteSky #writingprompts

White text on dark green background. The word 'low' is highlighted. Text reads:
They continued their trek until the sun kissed the horizon, orange rays leaking between the trees. It hadn’t rained yet, but the sky promised a good storm, so they set up camp in a narrow cave, entrance guarded by thick, twisting roots.
Queros waited for Torean to be asleep before approaching Miro. They’d settled down near the entrance of the cave, using the last remaining sunlight to sketch one of the creatures they’d encountered during the day β€” Miro loved documenting flora and fauna.
Queros slumped next to them, watching Miro’s face as their pen scratched over the page. Their eyes had a slightly red hue, a muscle on their cheek twitching irregularly. A weariness wafted off of them, weighing down their strokes. Every now and then, they coughed, a raspy, unproductive cough.
β€œHey.” Queros kept his voice low. β€œYou okay?”
Miro sighed, glancing at Jagemir at the other end of the cave, then at the sleeping Torean.
β€œDefine okay.”

Funny thing, I decided to redesign his assassin's tattoo because he's had a placeholder all this time. So I checked Miro's notebook for flowers that might have death related symbolism, and landed on the Red Ryorilla. Turns out the original tattoo already matched the shape of the flower

A headshot of Jagemir smiling. Next to it is the same headshot but mirrored, showing an overview of both sides of his face. The text on top reads 'Jagemir'. Text on the left says 'mole on jaw'. Bottom text reads 'diamond-shaped scar before lip'. Text on the right reads 'tattoo on neck' and has a drawing of the tattoo, which is a flower head with three leaves.

Text that reads: "Miro only looked at him, a look laden with salt and exhaustion and fear. And Queros shook his head, turning the corner to Jicin's house." The word 'salt' is underlined and highlighted.
