Aaah, yes! That was what I remembered. In contrast Barnes’ mask has nothing on it. I bet you’ve got substantial lore for each symbol.

@loopylin

I can pen pal with Brea! Probably Flax or Mel would be best? They’re on my mind lately

@whalekeeper

Everyone can see the symbols

@rae

I remember seeing Gabriel’s mask in some art with symbols on it. Are those visible to the normal eye, or just Gabriel?

Lucille

Lucy clutched her short blonde hair and panted. She sat as still as she could, not speaking, until she had to respond. “My head. I-It feels real bad.”

The Protector — Gabriel Mai

Gabriel spun around, dropping a knee into the soft moss. “Lucy? What’s wrong?” For a flickering second, the rune over his left eye made her look like Barnes, but he blinked, and it was just Lucy again.

Lucille

It sounded nothing like anywhere Lucy had ever seen, but reminded her of a book she had read. Her mouth twitched with something like a smile. ”I like hydrangeas. Anthony took a picture of me with…”

She stopped. Sound warped as she lost her balance and sat on a clump of moss. For a moment, she almost cried out, eyes watering.  It f…[Read more]

Okay lol

The Protector — Gabriel Mai

Gabriel glanced back at her, noticing her anger, but didn’t comment, still walking forward in silence besides the noises of the maze and the pat pat of feet on moss.

He shattered it after a few minutes, hoping to distract her from whatever had angered her. “I used to live in a wooden cabin in…[Read more]

As she often did, Lucy felt an energy like anger, except she did not hate anyone. It was more like her brain was crushed by itself as it tried to understand. She clenched her fists and said nothing.

Lucy closed her eyes and listened. “A little clicking. And the sound of birds.”

That was all. She followed the Protector around a corner. “I suppose you can tell me how I got here?”

@whalekeeper

The Protector — Gabriel Mai

He cut her off. “It is tradition that a Protector keeps his true identity secret, except to select few. That is one reason for the mask.”

Gabriel suddenly stopped again. “Do you hear anything strange? I still don’t trust my ears.”

@rae

Lucille
“Hm.” Lucy looked at him. She opened her mouth to ask.

@whalekeeper

The Protector — Gabriel Mai

“Oh. No, my actual name is not the Fifth Protector.” He started walking again, adjusting his mask.

@rae

XD I didn’t even realize what I wrote until I posted it

Lucille

“An official record of your birth. It’s where they record your name.”

And now it works *sigh* Stupid glitches.

@whalekeeper

LOL!!

Gabriel Mai — The Protector

Gabriel stopped, looking back at her. “Birth certificate? That is?”
