Not sure why I wanted to write this, but here I am. *plays with my yo-yo*
Iâm sitting hereâŠa bit stressed while I edit, and edit, and editâŠand edit. YeahâŠI spend upwards to four hours a day on this. Iâm tired.ANYWAY! Yâall donât need to know my life! SO!!!!!!What is your characters greatest fear?
And what do they love the most?
Do they fear being alone?
Crockpots?
The dark?
Slime?Do they love someone?
Do they love plastic guitar picks?TELL ME YOUR ANSWER!
And choose wisely, bc you never know when waffles will attack you.ÂIâm tiredâŠcan you tell?
December 15, 2022 at 2:49 pm #124595@wilder-w
Btw love your signature!
Yeah! I can tell, sorry youâre so tired! Writing is a exuasting task sometimes đ
Ok so fear and lovesâŠ
Tauren:
Love is going to be Lesli lol. Theyâre just friends but theyâve known each-other for like forever and yeah.
Fear: Newness, doing things with nobody to back you up, making bad choices. He doesnât put himself out there because he doesnât want to mess up. And just in general leaving what is familiar.
Layson:
Depends on the the story period. Heâs kinda fearless đ but that leads to some dumb decisions. His greatest love for most of the story is his daughter Maylee, but he gets married at the end so I suppose that changes. (but he still really loves Maylee of course)
Lesli:
Greatest love probably Tauren lol. She seeâs him as like her little brother. I would say exploration also, she likes newness and doesnât need a sense of security to enjoy it.
Maylee:
Idk, I guess not being with Layson is her greatest fear đ her parents died when she was little so Iâd imagine sheâs pretty clingy. Sheâs about 3.
Keiryn:
Greatest fear is being alone, or not having anyone to be on his side/back him up. His friends are really unreliable (In fact I would argue they arenât even friends). Also being disliked, heâs a total people pleaser.
Greatest love would be his outward impression he makes on other people. He tries to come off casual and confident, and wants people to view him as effortlessly charismatic.
Kaine:
greatest fear:
Well theirs a huge jumble of stuff here (poor Kaine)
People on his property/near his house, not having a direction in life, His sister (Everly) trusting people, him trusting people, Everly not needing him as much as she used too (causing him to not have a direction in life)
Greatest love: Everly, (later) Maylee (future niece), he likes hunting and rock climbing too.
Everly:
Love: Kaine and Layson, depends on the story period. And Maylee.
Fear: Not understanding how to help Kaine.
Â
Â
Thatâs about it! what about your characters?
ăžăłăŻăăăŁăăăăă§ăïŒ
December 15, 2022 at 3:32 pm #124604@wilder-w ooooh!! Okay! So because u asked their GREATEST love Iâm going to say that, not what they just love in general, even though they may love it extremely (ex: Their friends, family, etc, this might not be their greatest love)
Â
Arabella-
Greatest Fear: At first her greatest fear is the side of herself that is essentially flawed. The side of herself that gets upset, makes mistakes, etc. later, her greatest fear is losing everything, mostly those she loves (a lot of this stems from her fear of losing them because of her leadership)
Greatest Love: November. This remains a constant throughout the series, as the two grow to eventually become more then friends, and have always had an extremely special connection. She really canât imagine life without her best friend. However, as the series progresses, The Light One (God) soon becomes her Greatest Love, making November just a bit underneath. (As it should be)
Â
November
Greatest Fear: Losing Arabella. This haunts him, and if it ever happened? WellâŠwho knows what heâd do.
Greatest Love: Arabella.
Â
Corvina
Greatest Fear: Herself/Trusting others.
Greatest Love: Once her brother. (Later it becomes the Light One)
Â
Jocelyn
Greatest Fear: Losing those she loves.
Greatest Love: Nyx. Nyx and Lyn are one of those two characters you imagine always together. Theyâre like a dynamic duo, like Batman and Robin. Nyx is almost literally a show of Jocelynâs Love in physical form. Later in the series, though, her greatest love spreads to Grimm, whom she eventually gives her love to. đ„° ah me and my double meanings lol
Â
Nyx
Greatest Fear: Losing Jocelyn, especially if it were his fault.
Greatest Love: Jocelyn.
Â
Grimm
Greatest Fear: Being unable to save another person heâs close to. Losing someone elseâŠ
Greatest love: His late sister (and later Jocelyn, and even Nyx)
Â
Paxton
Greatest Fear: OofâŠthis oneâs honestly tough because my poor baby has quite a few fearsâŠbut I think itâd be between one similar to everyone elseâs; Losing one of the only oneâs who has loved him, or his family/the Fae. So a more haunting/metaphorical fear, and a physical fear.
Â
Greatest Love: Arabella, his new family, and His teddy bear Hope
Â
Luna
Greatest Fear: Failing the Light One and those around her/being unable to help others.
Greatest Love: The Light One, and her new family after that.
Â
welp those are my MCs!

@godlyfantasy12 Here, read a bit more on Fen and Shawn! ACH!!! I LOVE THEM!!!
Fenex breathed long and low trying to calm her heartbeat. She brushed her cloak aside making sure she didnât lose anything. Dagger, checkâŠcloak, checkâŠsatchel, check. Good, she had everything.
âEasy there, Girly.â
Her heart slammed in her chest. Irritated to be caught off guard, she plastered a smile on her face and turned to greet her lifeâs greatest annoyance.
âShawn.â
A tall swift fox dropped to all fours from a branch that overhung the clearing. Standing, he walked towards her. Watching his smirk turn into a smile made the smile completely vanish from her face.
âWill you be attending todayâs meeting or standing guard?â Please say standing guard, please say standing guard. She gave her tail a sassy wag.
âAh Girly, which do you prefer?â
Flustered, Fenex wondered for the hundredth time if Shawn was privy to her thoughts.
âIt doesnât matter what I want.â
Shawn took a step forward and Fenex took three steps back.
âIt matters to me.â Shawn said before clearing his throat. âNo worries, Girly. Iâll be standing guard today. How âbout goin on a little hunt afterwards? You can tell me all about the meeting then.â
A pink hue flushed Fenexâs cheeks. Will he ever stop pursuing me?
âAh. Never mind.â His left ear perked up and Fenex followed suit, wondering what had caught his attention. The sound of paws hitting the ground could be heard from the pathway below.
âBest to get goinâ Fen. Sounds like the rest of the crew is making their way up.â Without another word, Shawn disappeared into the branches above, his post for the day.December 15, 2022 at 3:57 pm #124614@wilder-w MINE TOO!!! I luv fennecs! Thatâs why I  have a fennec in my writings!! WellâŠ.heâs a creature of my own making but heâs mostly based on a fennec and thatâs what he looks like mostly đ

@godlyfantasy12 I know!!!!!! Right!!! LolâŠ.is it bad to have a crush on a fox!!?!??? Jk, yeah. I love him though. The best part is that Fenex doesnât like it either!!! Ya know what, just for your sake, Iâll give you the rest of the chapter:
Â
Fenex made her way through the tunnels, weaving around foxes, taking the path that led to the Western gates. Emerging into the night, she cautiously sniffed the air for danger. Nothing. Guards posted at the gates were alert, pacing. The one at the tower nodded to her as she passed through the opening. Her pace increased as she made her way into the forest. It was cold and brisk. Wrapping her cloak tighter around her, she veered off the well-worn path.
Deep in the northern forest held the only place where foxes were safe to talk. A cave, a secret the Kings of old carved into the depth of the Gorgo Mountains known as the Pit. Fenex knew the route by heart. Growing up, her mother was the lead messenger, her father part of the defense force. She knew every part of the surrounding woods, often bringing messages back and forth between her parents. She was trained to be the next lead messenger. Well, they got what they wanted.
Fenex stopped, scanned the forest floor and leapt onto the large oak to her right. The only clear way to the Pit was through rows of overgrown thorns that eventually opened up to a hill overlooking a massive cavern. But Fenex liked to take a different routeâŠthe trees. Shuffling up the tree, claws digging hard into the aged bark, she came to a rotted wood platform in the canopy. All her life sheâd spent her days in the trees. Connecting vines and branches, she made a system of bridges and swings that only she could traverse with ease. Digging her hind claws into the oak she prepared to jump onto her platform. She leapt, paws gripping the edge. Pulling herself up, Fenex took a deep breath.
Suddenly, the platform began to creak beneath her. Grabbing a looped vine with both paws, she stepped one leg into the loop, unsheathed her dagger and cut the rope that secured her to the platform. She leapt into the air, vine going taught, swinging her through the trees. Behind her a loud crack rang out. Glancing back, she saw her old platform crumble to the forest floor. Ugh, gunna have to replace that.
Fenex soared through the trees, leaping from one vine to the next. Jumping to scamper along woven branches and then hurdled to the next vine.
Fenex held onto the last vine eyeing a landing pad of moss up ahead. Descending downward, Fenex drew in a deep breath, curled her feet up and let go. She landed with a soft thud, rolling twice before standing to full attention. Fenex breathed long and low trying to calm her heartbeat. She brushed her cloak aside making sure she didnât lose anything. Dagger, checkâŠcloak, checkâŠsatchel, check. Good, she had everything.
âEasy there, Girly.â
Her heart slammed in her chest. Irritated to be caught off guard, she plastered a smile on her face and turned to greet her lifeâs greatest annoyance.
âShawn.â
A tall swift fox dropped to all fours from a branch that overhung the clearing. Standing, he walked towards her. Watching his smirk turn into a smile made the smile completely vanish from her face.
âWill you be attending todayâs meeting or standing guard?â Please say standing guard, please say standing guard. She gave her tail a sassy wag.
âAh Girly, which do you prefer?â
Flustered, Fenex wondered for the hundredth time if Shawn was privy to her thoughts.
âIt doesnât matter what I want.â
Shawn took a step forward and Fenex took three steps back.
âIt matters to me.â Shawn said before clearing his throat. âNo worries, Girly. Iâll be standing guard today. How âbout goin on a little hunt afterwards? You can tell me all about the meeting then.â
A pink hue flushed Fenexâs cheeks. Will he ever stop pursuing me?
âAh. Never mind.â His left ear perked up and Fenex followed suit, wondering what had caught his attention. The sound of paws hitting the ground could be heard from the pathway below.
âBest to get goinâ Fen. Sounds like the rest of the crew is making their way up.â Without another word, Shawn disappeared into the branches above, his post for the day.
Sighing, Fenex brushed her cloak behind her and started the decent into the cavern. She slid her way down, the thunder growing louder as she came closer and closer to the face of the waterfall. Stepping up to the curtain of water, Fenex extended her paw into and through the waterfallâs entrance, waiting for the signal to enter. All of a sudden, a paw grabbed hers and pulled her whole body through the waterfall and into the hidden cave. Sputtering the water out of her mouth, she scowled up at a broad chested orange and black tod. A piece of his left ear was torn and he had smudges of ash on his cheek. The tod carried a heavy iron hammer at his side.
âName?â The tod asked.
âBeval, itâs me, Fenex. Why did you pull me through? You know the all-clear sign. Is trouble afoot?!â Fenex replied concerned, eyes shifting around the cave.
âBevalâs my master, Iâm his apprentice. Nameâs Blaze.â Blazeâs cheeks had turned a fierce shade of red as he scratched his tuft. âIâm filling in for him today.â
âOh, well. You look a lot like him.â Fenex tilted her head to the side eyeing him. âDid he not run you through how to do the all-clear?â
âUgh, huh,â Stuttered Blaze. âI may have neglected to listen to certain instructions.â
âWell, here. Let me show you real-quick so you donât startle the Prince when he comes through the waters.â Grabbing Blazeâs paw, Fenex slid her claws apart and mingled them in between Blazeâs claws before tapping twice on the back of his paw with her for-claw.
âNow, you try.â Fumbling through the motions, Blaze repeated Fenexâs movements. Smiling, Fenex nodded once, âThere, now donât pull anyone else through the falls. Theyâll step through on their own.â Blaze went back to scratching his tuft, nodded and gave a âThanks.â
Turning to walk back to his station, Blaze hobbled once and tripped on what looked like his own two feet.
âOuch, are youâŠâ Before Fenex could get out more, Blaze was already standing up and striding towards the cave entrance. Okay, then.
Walking deeper, the first room to the right opened into the blacksmith shop. The iron striking iron echoed along the stone walls. Tools hung on roots and beams, a workbench stood in the middle of the room holding blueprints and designs. The forge sat in the far-left corner with the anvil. A small round opening in the ceiling served as a chimney for the fire and a small stream of water trickled through the middle of the room out towards the front of the falls. Beval, the master blacksmith, stood inspecting some sword designs.
âPsst.â
A voice behind her made her heart jump into her throat. Whirling around, she found a curious Shawn shifting his eyes to Beval and then to her and back to Beval again.
âWhat are you doing sneaking up behind me!â
âDid I scare ya that time Girly? Iâm sorry for that. Just wanted to knowâŠâ
Beval looked up upon hearing voices and called, âOy! Fenex! Good to see ya, come on in and have a look at this new design Iâm workin on. Itâd be perfect for ya! And Shawn, Iâve got your new bow all strung and finished, used fresh Blackwood! Itâs on the bench over there! It should work just fine now!â
Fenex smirked at her friend and shook her head.
âBeval, you know I prefer my dagger.â She said firmly. âIâve gotta run, the meetingâs gunna start any minute now. But Iâll stop in again later.â
âYouâre gunna need one!â Beval yelled.
Fenex turned to walk farther into the cave, a huffing Shawn hot on her heels, his new bow slung around his shoulders. âWait for me, Girly!â
Anger welling up within her, Fenex stopped and poked a claw into Shawnâs tunic.
âWhat are you doing here? I thought you were on guard duty?â
That cheeky smile came back making her scowl deepen. âAh,â He said leaning in, âBut I can guard you better from here, Girly.â
âAnd why!? That is not my name! When are you going to grow up and call me by my name!â Silence fell over them. Shawnâs smile vanished. The most serious look overtook his features as he gazed deep into her eyes. âWhen youâre mine.â
Oh Shawn. Heâs still holding out hope that we can one day be together. Only one problem. Iâm not ready. I canât settle down and raise a litter of kits! The kingdom needs me. And I wonât raise my kits the way I was raised. Parents always gone, leaving me to fend for myself. At the mercy of whatever surrogate mum was taking care of me that day.Â
âLook. ShawnâŠâ
âHey, you two! Ready for the best briefing ever?!â Prince Hawthorn and his entourage had arrived and were walking their way. Shawn took Fenexâs chin and brought her eyes up to his.
âLater, Girly.â He said, then with a huff he turned back to the cave entrance. Sighing, Fenex turned around and headed deeper into the depths of the cave. Trying her hardest to forget the sincerity in Shawnâs eyes.In just a handful of steps the walls opened up to a giant round room. The caveâs ceiling easily reached twenty feet tall. Granite layers glinted off the walls and, in the center, a large round pine slab served as the meeting table. Mum used to tell stories about how all the large intricate woodwork used to be imported by the beavers back when the Kingâs held favor with all the woodland creatures. Iâve never seen a beaver before. Iâd be surprised if even old tod Harvey has seen the evasive creatures.
