November
Viktor’s voice made November startle slightly.
”Do you know who it is?”
November merely shrugged. He looked to Riker. The man didn’t answer. His eyes were trained on the darkness, his face pale.
Did he know?
Arabella
Ara craned her head to see over November’s shoulder, but all she saw was shadows flickering in the torchlight. A gruff voice could be heard echoing down the hall. She shuddered.
This person didn’t sound very friendly…
She took a step forward, wishing to be closer to her best friend. He wasn’t alone, of course, but having him so close to what could be a dangerous foe made her heart want to come out of her chest.
Jocelyn
Everyone was on edge now, thought she wasn’t entirely sure why. They were a large enough group, surely they could handle whatever came their way. Right?
Then again…
She’d been recently taught how quickly things could change.
A horribly vivid image flashed in front of her mind, made worse by the torchlight dancing around her. Her throat closed off for a moment and she choked.
Nyx stirred, having been in a deep sleep. She was surprised he’d missed the sudden silence of the group, and the footsteps echoing around them.
It proved how tired they all were.
”Lynnie?” He immediately became alert, sending the change in her physical body. He placed his front paws on her neck, pushing against her gently. “Lyn!”
Lyn sucked in a breath and shook her head, her smile returning. Nyx was staring up at her with wide, brown eyes.
“Lyn, what’s going on? What’s wrong? I knew I shouldn’t have gone to sleep!” He hissed, turning his head in every direction to try and make sense of everything.
”Shh, shh,” she whispered. “It’s okay…just…someone’s coming. Stay calm.”
“Great…another stranger,” he rolled his eyes.
She sighed. He had a point.
”Nyx…” She said softly, petting him. “Please….”
Nyx turned his head to face her, his ears lowering. The way her voice softened let him know she meant what she was asking, and that something was off.
”Lyn…? Are you okay?”
”Y-Yea…I’ll be okay…” She gave a small smile, hugging him against her chest.

Leon
“I don’t suppose it matters either way.”
Leon shrugged. “I guess you’re right.” He chuckled. “Let’s just go down then, since that’s the way we were already going.”

Which of you has Nyx? I was hearing about the characters separating and I honestly want to see Nyx stuck with Crosshair and suddenly talk to him (it probably won’t be something nice, but it’d be hilarious either way cause my charrie’s going to be like WHAT THE HECK YOU CAN TALK for a couple minutes but then remember his wife’s pet does more or less the same thing)
Crosshair
Apparently, they had abandoned the tower? The group was now wandering the hallways, chatting among themselves.
He was left out, not that he cared. He wasn’t too much of a talker.
Although he did have a chance to study his companions closely. The ones called November and Riker both had scars, a little like his own.
Something told him they weren’t self-inflicted, however. He flinched slightly as he remembered the heat of the engine blasting off his helmet and scorching his face, his own voice screaming into a radio to turn it off before he was roasted.
That definitely had been one of his worst life choices.
Another man suddenly stepped out from one of the other hallways. “Who are all of you?! And where in the world am I?!” he snapped. He turned to Riker, whom he seemed to recognize. “What happened? Which one of you is responsible for this??”
“Father, please calm down.” Riker stepped between the new man–his father–and the character called November, who was cowering away from him.
Crosshair turned his rifle’s setting to “stun” and pointed it at Riker’s father’s head. Unlike the others, this one could easily be more dangerous. “I could ask the same of you.” he hissed.
Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.

Also, @keilah-h, I love Crosshair’s reaction. XD *whispers* Just take him out, Crosshair… maybe…for…forever. Can you…can you do that for me? XDXDXD JK, y’all, though I do hate Riker’s dad. XD

Zlatan
This man was mad. Or from some strange South Kingdom. There was no other explanation for such a display of anger.
Or perhaps he had been drinking something far stronger than water.
Father.
Riker had called him Father.
Zlatan sheathed his blade, freeing his hands if needed. The man with strange armor, Crosshair, lifted his twisted rod of iron.
What sort of weapon was that?

@koshka. Can I just say I love the way your characters see everything and the way you write them? I love them all so much. <3

@koshka. You are so Welcome! 😀 And I’m sorry about your family. I’ll be praying for you, girl! 🙏
August 19, 2022 at 4:56 pm #115542@keilah-h I own Nyx! Also do NOT call him a pet or he will…uhh lash out XD
So Nyx, Zlatan, Crosshair and Eva? Sound good?
@freedomwriter76 @koshka @elishavet-pidyon
November
The man had coke barreling forward, lashing out at the group for no apparent reason. November blanched, taking a step back.
What in the world…..
Riker immediately stepped forward, shielding November and Viktor from this man’s wrath.
“Father…please…calm down.”
F-Father?
November shrunk into himself as he met Franz’s gaze. He was tall and pale-skinned. An older man, with…dark eyes.
Just like….
November stared, unable to break his gaze.
He heard a click in the background and Crosshair said something, but he didn’t quite catch it.
Franz’s eyes had met his.
November winced and looked away.
Arabella
This man was upset…
How could this be Riker’s father? He seemed so…gentle and-
Ara glanced at November.
She pursed her lips. She knew how parents didn’t always represent their children.
She watched as November flinched when Riker spoke. She did too. She could only imagine what was going through his head.
It took all her willpower not to envelope him in a hug, but she needed to wait. Let everything calm down.
Jocelyn & Nyx
”Who does this guy think he is?” Nyx’s hackles raised.
”Nyx…” Jocelyn warned and Nyx calmed, remembering what she’d asked of him earlier. He let out a breath. Remain calm…
But this guy was making it hard.
Crosshair raised his metal weapon at him and it made a clicking sound.
“I could say the same of you,” the man hissed, and Nyx smirked.
Maybe these strangers weren’t so bad….

@godlyfantasy12. Sounds good to me! 👍 Poor Eva, being the only girl. 🤣 She’ll get those men to talk, lol. 😂 I guess Franz should probably have some sort of reaction. 🤔

Oh boy.
Viktor
It was not a gaurd, thank the Lord, and it wasn’t one of the retainers Viktor had seen during the day. This man was a stranger to him.
But not to others.
“Father, please calm down.” there was almost a quaver in Riker’s voice. The man had placed himself in front of November and Viktor.
Viktor dropped his hand from his sword hilt, glad he hadn’t drawn it after all. He wasn’t sure he’d be any use with it or not, anyway.
Still, this wasn’t how fathers and sons should meet.
And this may not be any better than if it had been a Dorwinian gaurd.
“I could ask the same of you.” Crosshair had stepped up beside Riker.
Viktor frowned. He didn’t like how this was going. The whole thing twisted in his gut like a badly cooked porridge.
“Here.” He pressed a stone in November’s hand. “Let’s stand vanguard.”
You have listened to fears, child. Come, let me breathe on you... Are you brave again? -Aslan
