@godlyfantasy12. Of course! 🙂 (I’ll just go back through what I wrote, lol. XD) Also, *raises hand* I can, if you want. I was already planning on Ezra probably carrying him. XD

August 23, 2022 at 3:02 pm #115698Verity
Age: young girl…. I’m still working this one out
Hair color: Dark red, long, straight
Eye color: Bright blue (think aquamarine)
Personality: She has a bit of a temper (Trevyn calls here spitfire, but he’s the only one who can get away with that…) She will say exactly what she thinks (except on her faith) and will defend her friends at all costs.
Biggest Fear: Heights
Faith: She’s in an allegory so…. ? At the moment she doesn’t believe in God. She’s grown up in a land where a false religion is enforced/truth is suppressed and faith is the one area she’s unsure on.
Trevyn
Age: young boy….same as Verity
Hair color: Very light brown
Eyes: One blue (right) and one gree (left)
Personality: One word. No make that two: Extremely shy. Verity’s really his only close friend. Well, she made friends with him first when they were slaves together….
Biggest fear: People he doesn’t know. Or just people in general I guess.
Faith: Same as Verity
Sorren
Nationality: Northern soldier
Family: Has none needs none
Age: I’m terrible at ages!!! Okay, he’s a grown man. How’s that?
Hair color: Black
Eye color: Steel Gray, cold and hard
Personality: Hard, cruel. He’ll use anyone he has to and walk over anyone he has to to achieve his goals. Extremely selfish. What else? Oh yeah, his loyalties belong to the highest bidder, pretty much.
Biggest Fear: Fear? What’s that? JK I’m sure he has some I just can’t find them…
Faith: Non-existent
Payton
Nationality: Alvastian (medieval kingdom)
Family: Camron (father), Vanessa (mother), Quinn (younger brother)
Age: I have no idea right now!! XD
Hair color: Blonde, straight
Eye color: Emerald green
Personality: He can be proud and stubborn but would do anything to not to disappoint those he looks up to, especially his father. He feels like he must prove himself, but when he lets down his guard – mostly when alone – it reveals how vulnerable he really is. ***Payton’s older brother died in battle when he was a little boy, and Payton feels like he is still living in his older brother’s shadow, but he has a redemption arc in the end that I’m still working on***
Biggest Fear: failing expectations

@queen_of_alvastia. IT’S GOING TO BE OKAY, JAYDEN, I PROMISE!!! *sobs*
Jayden
“I’m Verity. This is Trevyn. He’s shy, but harmless.” the red head girl explained.
The boy’s, Trevyn’s, face went red, and he looked at the floor.
Jayden glanced at them, the memories finally giving him some peace. For a moment.
Leon smiled. “Nice to meet you, Asher, Jayden, Michael, Verity, Trevyn.” He glanced at Payton. Smirked. “This group got big fast, didn’t it?” He winked.
Asher gripped Jayden’s forearm. “Hey, Jayden, brother, you good?”
Jayden nodded slowly. “Yeah. I…I’m fine.”
Asher raised an eyebrow.
Jayden leaned in close. Whispered into his ear; “Can we talk about it later?”
Slowly, Asher nodded. Squeezed his shoulder. “Yeah.” Asher turned his attention to the others. “So, what’s the plan of action? What are we looking for? Y’all have to be looking for a way out, right?”
Michael
He just watched the scene in front of him unfold.
Michael quietly chuckled to himself.
Oh, this was fun already.
Who didn’t love an adventure?
He grinned. And who didn’t love to meet new people?
He glanced at Jayden, and his grin faded. The medic was always so quiet…so…alone, most of the time. Where the other Medics were talking with the rest of the men, striking up conversations, Michael always saw Jayden sitting alone, reading a book sometimes, sometimes writing a letter, but most of the time…just…sitting there.
Jayden noticed he was watching. Glanced at him, raising an eyebrow. Michael looked away.
At the two kids who had run into the room.
They looked so young.
But he already loved Verity’s energy.

Man, Asher loves to talk, AND FAST! XD Time to write another thing about him down, lol. XD
August 23, 2022 at 3:27 pm #115701@freedomwriter76
Payton
“This group sure got big fast, didn’t it?”
Payton rolled his eyes back at Leon.
“That’s for sure.”
He turned to one of the newcomers.
“Yeah, you guessed it. We’re trying to get out of here. You wouldn’t happen to know any way would you? Oh yeah…and umm…uhh…that thing you were pointing at me. What does it do?”
Verity:
Verity gave Michael a huge grin.
Kindred spirit. She could feel it.
Then she looked at the quieter newcomer who had just whispered something to brother. She wanted to run up to him, hug him, say something, do something, to take that fear out of his eyes and make him laugh. Or even smile. If she could get Trevyn over there, they might talk. But knowing Trevyn, that would never work.
Her gaze bounced back and forth between the different speakers.
“Umm, sorry to interrupt guys, but can we walk please? Instead of just standing around in this musty old excuse for a broken down dilapidated corridor? It would be gorgeous in the moonlight. I think. But it’s kinda ugly now.”
“We’re supposed to be planning not exploring, Verity.”
Verity tossed her head, rolling her eyes up at the ceiling.
“Can’t hear you when you whisper, Trev.”
“I said – ”
“You’re still whispering.”
“I SAID WE’RE SUPPOSED TO BE PLANNING NOT EXPLORING!!”
Oh great. Now they were all looking at him. He didn’t care if it left Verity alone.
The floor needed to open.
Now.

@queen_of_alvastia. Ohhhh, I love Verity. XD
Leon
Everyone glanced at Trevyn.
Leon smiled faintly.
Oddly enough, Verity reminded him of Isabel.
Asher chuckled. Then glanced back at Payton, who turned to face him. “It’s a pistol. It shoots a bullet, which can…go through someone and kill them immediately if it hits the right spot. So… It’s good I didn’t shoot you.” He winked. “Also, I have no idea where to go. We just now got here. Can’t say this place would ever be rated five-stars, though.”
Leon chuckled and glanced at Jayden, Asher’s brother.
Why was there so much fear in his blue eyes?
Jayden didn’t even realize Leon was watching him. He bit his lip, glanced in a different direction, and stepped even closer to Asher. “Asher, we should get going.”
“Payton, we might just want to continue on. They can all join us.” Leon said; tapped Payton’s shoulder.
Jayden
The little girl, Verity, had been watching him.
Jayden had to look away. Bit his lip. He stepped closer to Asher. “Asher, we should get going.”
He vaguely heard Leon speak to Payton.
Asher nodded. “I know.” He mouthed. Jayden nodded.
But how long could it take?
He needed to get out of this place.
Soon.
He hated the dark.
It reminded him too much.
“I didn’t ask for a crybaby! I need a strong boy, not a coward. Maybe a night in the basement is just what you need.” Maria snarled, gripping her son’s arm, dragging him away.Â
“No. Mama. Please…” Jayden begged. Not the basement again. No. Please. Anything but that. It was always so dark and so damp. There were rats down there. “Mama, please!”
Her openhanded blow came without warning. “Shut it.”
His skin crawled. Jayden bit his lip, hard, forcing back the scream that wanted to escape.
He’d slipped.
Again.
“A mistake! You good for nothing heathen!”Â
He felt both of Asher’s strong arms wrap around him. Asher softly kissed the top of Jayden’s head, pulling him back into the present.
It worked.
Asher held him, tight, in his arms. “Shhh. Come on, Jay. Stay with me…” Asher whispered, too quiet for anyone else to hear.
Jayden leaned into his brother’s arms.
Took in a deep breath.
AHHHH!!!! MY BABY!!!! *sobs* JAYDENNNN!!!!!!! ASHER IS SUCH A GOOD BIG BROTHER!!!! *sobs*
