@queen_of_alvastia. Lol. We writers love talking to our characters. đ Other people: “Who are they talking to? They’re crazy…” đđđ

“Let’s get started. And let’s find our families.”
Dawn’s light crept through the windows, a dusky illumination filling the castle corridor. This gave Payton a clearer image of the man beside him.
“Right.”
Payton’s eyes had grown accustomed to the dark, and now he squinted as light began filtering in through the window.
The window.
There were iron bars crossing the glass, still –
He dropped Leon’s hand and ran over to the window, gripping the bars and squinting. He shot a glance at his companion.
“Hey, Leon, come here! There isn’t a moat or anything around this place. If we could find another on of these windows without bars, we could break out maybe.”

O.O
Uh ohâŠ.
Eva did not just call him a âpetâŠ.â XDâŠ.
thatâs one of his âpetâ peeves (see what I did there?) This is gon be interestingâŠ..Jocelyn and Nyx
As soon as the question left her mouth, Lyn knew thereâd be trouble.
Aww goblin gutsâŠ
âPET?!â Nyxâs tired form rose from his position, ears raised. His fur stood on edge as he looked around for whoever had dared call him that-his eyes had been half-closed at the time.
He hissed low at the couple nearby as the man, Ezra, continued, apparently unaware of the Foxâs sudden shift in mood.
âHeâs kinda cute.â His southern drawl only making the comment worse.
Nyxâs face heated and he clenched his paws in horror. âCUTE?!?! IâLL SHOW YOU CUTE!â
âHAHAHA!â Lyn laughed, louder then normal as she quickly grabbed Nyx, mid-pounce. The couple took a wary step back, now seeing the creatureâs suddenâŠ.violent shift. âHe..ah! Heâs just tired!â
âLET ME AT âEM!â The fox squealed, sounding like a banshee to those who couldnât understand him. Everyone paused to look at him.
âNyx, enough! She didnât mean it!â Lyn grappled with the little creature until she was able to subdue him into her arms. Thankfully he was still exhausted and needed sleep, otherwise it wouldâve been harder to control him.
His ears flicked and he huffed, his eyes wide. âI-IâŠIâm not a petâŠâ
A small smile sprouted on Lynâs lips and she lifted him to her chin, nuzzling his fur. âNo, Nyx. Youâre not. Youâre my darling. My best friend, and you always will be.â
At this, the fox seemed contented and slowly settled into her arms, his eyes once again closing. He really needed to get some sleep.
Lyn sighed as the group continued. She glanced at the couple, who was staring warily at Nyx, as if seeing him for the first. She chuckled, a bit awkwardly, though she wasnât sure why.
She wasnât used to being awkwardâŠ.
She frowned for a moment. And why did she have to be? There was no reason for anyone to judge Nyx. Sure, he could be a bitâŠ.of a handful, but that was who he was. And she loved him just like that.
She straightened and her usual large grin returned as she explained, âNyx can be a bitâŠfeisty. Okay, a lot feisty. Heâs justâŠâ She leaned over and whispered, âSensitive.â
Nyx half heard her, but he was nearly asleep, he merely stirred a bit in her arms at the comment.
âIâd advise against calling himâŠAhâŠ.that word again,â She smiled sweetly at Eva. âBut itâs okay, you didnât know. AndâŠheâs not exactly one to take being called âcute.â Unless itâs from me,â Lyn laughed at that. The couple seemed to relax, staring at the fox as if seeing him in a new light.
Lyn nuzzled him once more and sighed.
For all his quirks, she sure did love the little thing.

@freedomwriter76
November
Novemberâs staring was interrupted by a voice, âAre you and Arabella very close then?â
November felt his face go nuclear as he glanced up at the man. He had a twinkle in his eye that November had seen before. It was a look Jocelyn gave him all the timeâŠ.(Jocelyn, the number one Aravember shipper, besides me XD)
âOh! UmâŠah-w-w-well yeaâŠweâve been best friends since we were littleâŠ.SheâŠahhâŠSheâsâŠâ He looked at her again.
Incredible?
Beautiful?
Strong?
âŠâŠPerfect?
âSheâs greatâŠ.â He scratched the back of his neck. Talk about the understatement of the century.
There weâre so many things he could say about herâŠso many wonderful things.
Things she didnât believeâŠ.
She was justâŠperfect.
SoâŠ.
âUnlike you.â

@queen_of_alvastia. Haha. Yep! XD
Leon
âHey, Leon, come here! There isnât a moat or anything around this place. If we could find another one of these windows without bars, we could break out maybe.â
Leon ran over. Caressed his hand over the iron bars. “You’re right, Payton. We could.” He glanced around. “And with light now coming, we should be able to find one a whole lot easier. And then…we’ll both be able to find our families.” He smiled.
He patted Payton’s shoulder. Excited. “Come on, Payton, let’s get a move on.”

@godlyfantasy12. Yep, she sure did. XD
Ezra
Jocelyn nuzzled Nyx and sighed.
He saw a small, sweet smile light on Eva’s face. My, was she beautiful. And Lord Have Mercy, Ezra was fallin’ more and more in love with her every minute.
“I understand. No harm done, Nyx.” Eva said with a smile. Jocelyn turned to her with a grateful smile.
Eva’s arm wrapped around him. Poked him in the rib. Ezra hadn’t realized he’d gotten lost in thought thinking about Eva.
“Yeah. No harm done. Sorry ’bout callin’ ya cute, Nyx.”
Riker
“She’s great…” November said, blushing, scratching the back of his neck.
Riker nodded, smiling. Yep. No doubt. November was in love.
Riker knew what that felt like…and how nervous he had been. Especially when he had tripped and fallen into the lake right after proposing to Iris. (which actually happened, y’all. XD He was worried she’d decide she didn’t want to be with him, but…Iris jumped into the lake with him. XDXDXD)
He smiled faintly, remembering that.
Only to realize he had gotten lost in thought.
He glanced back at November, only to find that he had gotten lost in thought too.
Poor kid.
He reminded Riker very much of himself many years ago.
He glanced around at the others. Jocelyn, holding Nyx, Eva, and Ezra. Viktor and his sister Alyona. Vulkasin and Zlatan. Mikkel. Arabella, the girl November loved. Riker smiled. Glanced back at November, who seemed to still be lost in thought.
Riker almost began to ask if he was okay, when he heard other footsteps beside their own, coming from another hallway.
A voice, distinctly male, muttering to himself.
It was rough.
Slurred.
Gruff.
Low.
And so, so familiar.
Too familiar.
“November, are you okay?” Riker asked, still wanting to ask the question.
But his head began to throb, and he rubbed it.
He only hoped, oh how he hoped, that he was wrong.

I knew I forgot someone! *face-palms* Riker saw Crosshair too. XD
August 19, 2022 at 2:53 pm #115495@freedomwriter76
Oh no…this could be bad y’all.
So, what’s the plan? Which characters get thrown together when the group gets split?
First Grand Historian of Arreth and the Lesser Realms (aka Kitty)
Fork the GorkAugust 19, 2022 at 3:01 pm #115498@freedomwriter76 AHHHHH NARRRRRRRRRR
@keilah-h @koshka @elishavet-pidyon PREPARE FOR TROUBLE(and make it double) #teamrocketreference XD
ALSO OH MY WORD THE PROPOSAL SRSLY SOUNDS LIKE NOVEMBER!!!!! LikeâŠhis proposal would srsly be like that and I have a feeling Ara would just laugh and be like âA thousand times yes!â Before he even gets the question out (and heâs like face down in the dirt or something XD)
theyâre sooo similar bruuuuh our babiesâŠ.
NovemberÂ
âNovember, are you okay?â Riker asked, his voice suddenly tense. November looked up, jerked from his sudden negative inner voice.
He paled. âUm, yea. Iâm goodâŠâ
The rest of the group was chatting ahead, but November paused as he heard something coming from behind. Shuffling footsteps.
Was someone following them?
Though he was a bit shy to admit it, sometimes November could be a bit squeamish, but he was in a large group. And apparently he wasnât the only one who had noticed the sound. Riker too tensed and turned to face the dark corridor theyâd come from, as did some others.
Including Arabella.
The conversations around them stilled.
Ara grasped her bodice, wariness masking her expression. November could see the bags under her eyes and nervous tension creeping in.
It was hard enough for her, with her visions and lack of sleep on a normal basis. This had put her through no telling how much unneeded stress.
Novembwe frowned, his resolve strengthened a bit at the sight, thought his nerves were still shot at the thought that someone could be following their group.
Friend or foe?
Guards?
That tyrant thatâs after Lyn and Nyx?
Or someone altogetherâŠnew?
Either way, he stared down the dark corridor, forcing himself to stand tall for Arabella, despite the quivering in his stomach.
(My brave boi loves her sooo much. And she loves him (theyâve just been friends for so long the idea of them being boyfriend and girlfriend doesnât even cross her mind lol)

#ProtectSebAugust 19, 2022 at 3:03 pm #115499@koshka hm good question, I think we may wait to get split up till after this confrontation?? And after we get some rest? Cuz my charries are getting dead on their feet đ€Ł
Then maybe something happens like guards rush in where theyâre sleeping and everyone has to seperated in the panic? Weâll figure out who is with who then

Payton
âCome on, Payton, letâs get a move on.â
Payton released the windows. So close to family and freedom and at the same time so, so far away. He shook himself back to the present moment, restraining an impulse to dash down the hallway in search of unbarred windows. Excitement sent his eyes sparkling, resembling the emeralds that shared their color.
“So” he said, “Which way should we go, up the corridor or down?”
He shrugged and stuck his dagger back in his belt, and tried to keep his voice calm and level.
“I don’t suppose it matter either way.”
