Callum

Before Ellis could walk away, Remington turned on him with his inquisitive, disarmingly blue eyes. A mixture of emotions glimmered there, including pain. “Ellis, do your visions really come to you randomly? Have you ever gotten caught in a vision when you’re swimming? Or in the middle of a deadly fight? Wouldn’t that… Wou…[Read more]

Ellis

Lucian looked bewildered for a moment as he stared down at the oddly colored drink. He glanced suspiciously at Remington. Ellis took a sip of his lemonade as he waited for his brother to process. The sweetness surprised him. He liked it.

“Right. Bed,” Lucian said. He looked at Ellis, who stood reluctantly. “Your room is next…[Read more]

Wilhelm

“Ah.” He should have been able to think of something better to say, but even as he pulled his door open the only thing that came to mind was a laugh.

Just going to fight. If they had not literally been in a friendly fight just a few minutes ago, he would be tempted to find fault. Instead, he held the door for…[Read more]

@koshka

Oh right

Moth

Moth let out a muffled sound, face covered under the mantle. He stood still for a split second, then wrapped the mantle around his head like a shawl, and followed Ari into the bushes.

The thorns pricked his bare feet, and he bit his lip to keep from saying something aloud. If they were caught now, how much less attainable…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Just remembered the mention of servants out looking for curfew breakers…

Ari

He nodded seriously, the unfamiliar grin slipping out.

“I do my best. We will need–”

The faint sound of shoes clicking on pavement. Ari froze a moment before his mind identified the sound.

“Down,” he hissed, throwing his dark mantle over the fairies…[Read more]

@koshka

*Puts a stamp of approval on the hedgehog/kitten idea*

Moth

“My nose is my favorite thing about my appearance. Please avoid breaking it,” Moth requested. “But yes, I want to shoot with you. It will be worth it, I’m sure of that.”

@whalekeeper

That is an incredibly good description of him actually. I can imagine him having a pet hedgehog in his back pocket that he’d be incredibly protective over. Or maybe a kitten.

Ari

A small grin was trying desperately to push past the tight aloofness that usually marked his face. Ari slowly shook his head though he wasn’t sure what…[Read more]

@koshka

He’s a little bit of a snot, bless his heart.

That’s why I like him

@koshka

If anyone picks on Moth at this point, Ari is going to pulverize them.

Awww.

I don’t know why, but I can’t help imagining Ari as a grumpy hedgehog with prickles. I’ve probably already said that, but I’ll say it again

Moth

“Well, I, uh… I’m not an archer.” Moth scuffed the path with his bare foot. “I don’t know anything about arch…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

OoO

XD

I’m honestly kind of shocked that y’all like him this much. Like, I like him, but I made him. He’s a little bit of a snot, bless his heart.

@koshka

@whalekeeper

If anyone picks on Moth at this point, Ari is going to pulverize them.

Ari

His eyebrows shot up. He turned back to the path ahead of them to hide his confusion.

“If you want to, sure. You, you don’t…” He stopped walking again to turn a curious gaze on Moth. “You’re an archer? What bow do you prefer?”

@koshka

Moth

Moth stitched his brows together, and as Ari explained a little, his heart twinged again. There was injustice here. “I will practice archery with you tomorrow.”

@ellette-giselle

I feel that, as an oldest sibling

@ellette-giselle

Thanks! Ari is technically from the “mythology”/history another WIP, but we were planning on writting his story as part of a background book for the series. His family is the one responsible for most of the chaos of his time…and later. XD

@whalekeeper

Ari

“Kindness sn’t generally considered a masculine virtue in my family.” He shrugged again. “But when I was seven Halir carried me two miles back home when I was thrown from my horse. He and his twin are the closest to my age.”

@koshka

Moth

“Are your brothers kind to you?”

@whalekeeper

Ari

Moth stopped walking. Ari turned to look back at him.

“Sometimes.”

The unsettling level of concern on the other boy’s face didn’t fade. Ari shoved down the rising discomfort.

“I’ve got four half-brothers, you know, warriors all decades older than me. The oldest was married with his own son before I showed up.” He folded his…[Read more]

Moth

“Thrashed?” Moth stopped walking. His heart leaped into his throat. “Do you get hit when you’re home?”
