So then they’d be nearly my charies age! XD
Zlatan and Vulkasin
“Is everything alright?â
Zlatan’s head jerked up. Ara had spoken to him, her eyes concerned.
He looked back at Lyn, then Nyx. That neverending question echoed in his mind. ‘Vat do I do?’
She started speaking again. âIâmâŚIâm sorry. We shouldâve mentioned there might be more of us. ButâŚthis is it. For us, anyway. We didnât even know if Jocelyn and Nyx were here, to be honest, or where they were.”
Did she think he was angry with her?
“ButâŚI promise, you can trust them.â
His snapped his eyes back to Ara, then inwardly sighed. She was little more than a child really. All of them were.
Hardly past childhood and someone wants them harmed, or worse. A spark of righteous anger flared up, but he kept it simmering, where it couldn’t show itself.
The others had gone quiet.
âDefinitely!” Lyn’s voice shattered the moments silence. “Weâre totally trustworthy!â She wrapped her arm around Ara’s shoulder, her smile as brilliant as ever.
Zlatan flinched, but smiled and shifted his shield. “I’ll remember that. Shall Ve get moving again?”
As he turned his ears picked up that sound again, but more distinct now.
Someone had called.

Fork the GorkMay 5, 2022 at 7:03 pm #110646@godlyfantasy12 yeah, she’s… seen a dark thing or two and lost a connection or two, in her lifetime. This makes her all the more protective of what she has already, and because of how she is, she doesn’t exactly deal with her sorrow very well, usually pushing it down deep after a very specific mourning period. (Plus, she lost her bf.)

Fork the GorkMay 5, 2022 at 7:36 pm #110654@emilysf you can introduce Sofia! Imma just let Nyx and Lyn and them keep talking till then 𤣠They gotta catch up about olâ prune-bag anyway
@elishavet-pidyon yes that is totally what Nyx and Lyn are calling him now, along with Lord Whatâs His Face and Lord prune-bag, lord fruit-face, etc XDArabella
âYou guys wouldnât believe what weâve been through!â Jocelyn whirled in November, her eyes alight, ready to tell a story. He stumbled back, nearly falling, but she caught his hand and steadied him. âWe ran into this guy, right? And Nyx and I were like, âOh, hey, maybe he can help us!â Yea, nope. This guy was toooootally rude. Apparently, weâre totally trespassing in his castle. We got away from him, and Nyx got in quite a bite before we left, butâŚyeaâŚ.â Lyn shrugged, still smiling.
Araâs eyes widened, concerned. She scanned the two, searching for any sign of injury. November, meanwhile, kept looking behind them, waiting for someone to jump out from the shadows.
Zlatan and Vulkasin looked at each other, their eyes gleaming with a mix of shock, concern andâŚfury? Ara wasnât sure. They began to talk, having their own conversation about the owner of the castle.
âAre you two okay?â Ara asked, her face lined with creases.
âBah, weâre fine. He couldnât have caught us if he wanted to.â Nyx smirked, raising one brow in triumph.
âWell, he did almost catch us. But we escaped.â
âI still say Lyn shouldâve let me claw his tongue outâŚâ
âNyx!â Ara and November cried simultaneously. November paled.
The two brothers stopped their conversation and turned back to the group, now looking curious at the four because of their sudden outburst.
âWhat? If youâd met him, you wouldâve agreed with me.â
Ara doubted that. She wasnât one forâŚexceedingly violent tactics. Though, she figured Nyx was just being dramatic. As he usually was.
Though, something told her otherwise. Since everything that had happened in Cirque, Ara wondered if he were serious.
He was extremely loyal to LynâŚ
To all of them, she was sure. And she was grateful, though, she hoped it never drove him too far.
He was still so little after all. But, she knew better then to bring that up. Hopefully November did to, otherwise Nyx would probably threaten to bite him.
Not that he actually would.
WellâŚ.
âNyx,â November bent down, âWas he really that bad?â
Nyx looked away. âI could justâŚ.tell.â
Lyn frowned. They all frowned.
Nyx was sensitive, no matter what anyone argued.
Araâs focus shifted to Vulkasin and Zlatan who was now staring at the group like they were out of their minds. She blanched, realizing why they looked so confused.
As did November and Lyn.
âOhâŚah, perhaps we should explainâŚâ
âOr, perhaps we shouldnât.â Nyxâs nose bunched up. âI donât trust them, Lynnie.â
âNyx, hush!â Lyn said.
âahâŚâ Ara looked from the fox to the brothers and sighed. âYou seeâŚNyx canâŚspeak, to us.â
âSorta,â November scratched his head.
âOnly we can hear him,â Lyn scooped him up. He was protesting them telling the brothers this, but they ignored him. âHe only does it with people he-â
âLyn!â November tried to stop her, but it was too late.
âFully trusts.â
âN-Not that he doesnât trust you!â November insisted.
âI donât!â
âHe didnât even talk to us when we first met.â Ara said. It was true.
The brothers stared at the little fox like he was a new creature, and, in a way he was now. He could communicate.
JustâŚnot with them.

#ProtectSebMay 5, 2022 at 8:21 pm #110664@emilysf @koshka I figure Sofia can kinda come in whenever she wantsâŚ.? If we just wanna keep chatting about Ocran owning the castle and our plan next? (Finding food, also the brothers discussing how they feel about Nyx being able to talk and making a plan on what to do?) đ¤ˇđťââď¸

Sofia
Someone cried out, their voice echoing into the hall. Sofia picked up her steps, overjoyed to hear a voice besides her own. Even though it broke the silence, it had become a small comfort to her.
More voices spoke, the words unintelligible and fainter.
She began to step faster down the lamp lit hall, stumbling over herself in her eagerness. âHello? Hello!â
She rounded a corner, getting nearer to the speakers, because their words were understandable now.
âHe didnât even talk to us when we first met.â
Sofia didnât call anymore, caught up in her excitement. She rounded a corner and stopped immediately to keep from running into the group of children, but her eyes went to the two men behind them. âOh.â She dropped a blood scraped hand to her ax handle, her eyes falling on their swords.

#ProtectSebMay 5, 2022 at 9:01 pm #110670Vulkasin and Zlatan
The brothers stared at the strange set, having apparently interrupted three one-sided conversations with the fox.
“OhâŚah, perhaps we should explainâŚâ
Lyn glanced back at the creature. “Nyx, hush!â
Hush?
Ara sighed.”AhâŚyou seeâŚNyx canâŚspeak, to us.â
“Sorta,” November’s hand was back in his curls.
Vulkasin stared at them, uncomprehending.
âOnly we can hear him.” Lyn scooped Nyx up. “He only does it with people he-â
âLyn!â
âFully trusts.â
âN-Not that he doesnât trust you!â November looked anxious.
Ara gave a small smile. “He didnât even talk to us when we first met.â
Vulkasin stared at the fox, which was hissing furiously in Lyn’s arms. “You mean, he can talk?”
All three nodded.
“And only to you?”
They agreed.
He glanced at his brother. Zlatan was rubbing his temples as if he had a headache, a strange expression on his face.
“How?” Vulkasin was suddenly curious. “Can all foxes talk?”
Ara shook her head. “He’s special, and no.” The Nyx creature glared at nobody in particular.
Or rather at someone very particular. Zlatan.
His brother looked up and met the foxes eyes. His other had showed itself again, making him seem almost haggard.
But Zlatan smiled, and it passed. “Hello young v’arrior. V’elcome to ze company.” He laughed softly, “And by ze look on your face I’m glad I can’t ‘ear you.”
“Nyx!” Three voices chimed. The fox huffed.
Vulkasin grinned.
“But,” his brother turned to Lyn. “Did zat mindless vulture do anyfing to either of you? And did anyv’one ‘ere zat sound a moment ago, footsteps I zink.”

“Nyx!” All three exclaimed as Nyx said something rather…derisive.
Zlatan didn’t seemed bothered, however. He turned to Jocelyn and said, “But, did zat mindless vulture do anyfing to either of you?” He must’ve meant Ocran. Lyn shook her head and she heard Nyx begin to laugh, sounding again like a young hyena pup. Perhaps this would help him trust Zlatan a bit better.
Nyx did have a fondness for name calling. And Nyx seemed to ease at Zlatan’s concern for her.
“And did anyvâone âere zat sound a moment ago, footsteps I zink.â Zlatan turned.
“I did.”
“And you didn’t say anything?!” November cried. The brothers cocked an eyebrow at November. He chuckled awkwardly and shrugged, nodding his head at Nyx to let them know he was talking to the fox.
“Figured it was another one of your friends.” The fox shrugged his little shoulders.
“Who was one of our friends?” Ara asked, gripping the neck of her blouse.
“Her.” Nyx sniffed the air and glared past them all, into the darkness.
Jocelyn looked in his direction and pointed, telling the brothers to follow her gaze.
There, standing far down the hall was a young woman. Watching them.
“Nyx love, maybe give us a bit more warning next time, hm?” Lyn blew a puff of air and smirked as her foxy friend merely rolled his eyes.
“Well, I just thought she was with these two. Told ya I don’t trust’em.”
“Shush.” All three of them said simultaneously as the female figure approached and the brothers placed their hands on the hilts of their swords.
“She’s not with them…” Ara frowned.
“So then…who is she?” Lyn whispered. November shrugged.
Nya’s hackles raised and he growled low. Jocelyn held him tight. “Oh no mister, you’re not doing anything until we find out if she’s friend or foe.”
“I vote foe.”
“Well, we don’t know yet, now do we?”
“Last time, you guessed friend. Where did that get us?”
Hm. He did have a point. Still, this time they had a much larger group. Besides…where was the harm in introducing herself?
“Hiya!” Lyn stepped out from behind the two brother’s, much to their shock.
And Zlatan’s dismay.
And Ara’s.
“Lyn!” She reached for her hand but Lyn was already striding toward the girl, waving. One hand still held Nyx tight, the creature a bundle of nerves.
“Name’s Jocelyn! You are?”
The group stared at her, as if she’d lost her mind. November palmed his face.
“Great…here we go again.”

Fork the GorkMay 5, 2022 at 10:24 pm #110690Hey…so Ocran would have an army right???
Dude… O.O
Okay so….what if he discovers more people are in his castle? And he decides to get his army involved and calls them to his fortress! Then we’d have to be like, sneaking around and be on the lookout for them!
ALSO! Eventually Corvina will probably try to team up with Ocran (buuuut that will probably be way later)
Anyway this was just an idea. Maybe later, after Ocran discovers “that girl and her pet” have found MORE intruders, he’s like “OKAY THIS IS IT” and gets his army to come in, making things harder for the heroes (and even harder for Corvina too, but she like, easily gets past the soldiers XD and is like “Yea, bruh, that was never gonna work, let’s make a deal. XD) Idk, what do u think?
