Quin

There was a jolt that sent pain shivering all over his body. Quin didn’t open his eyes. Everything hurt. For a minute he thought he was in another nightmare.

He sniffed, half expecting the smell of fire, or the sweaty heat of horses. All he smelled was blood.

So it is a dream.

He stayed perfectly still; if he didn’t move, nothing would…[Read more]

@rose-colored-fancy you know…I’m not even going to question that one

Sounds good!  I’ll probably drop him in with Misu and Qatar as well.  He’s from the same setting as Misu, but I don’t think they’ve officially met.  This is going to be interesting!

Also, I read your guy’s entry…never thought I would see a Kongar reference in the Ch…[Read more]

Nithel’s eyes softened to the gentle reassuring light that dissipated so much anxiety Alessio could’ve died. A small, hopeful smile flickered across his face. He had so much he wanted to say so much he wanted to ask but he was just so happy his friend was here. Which was probably a selfish thought…
“You’re – Nithel. Yes?” Mayra wasn’t lookin…[Read more]

He looked well? He chose not to debate that.

“Mayra…” Nithel repeated slowly, looking down, but also at her face. It was hurting her, his lack of remembrance. If it meant anything, the name was beautiful. “Your name is lovely.” … “And I’m sorry.”

He glanced at Alessio, wondering if he was the youth he had at the back of his memory. Wondering…[Read more]

Mayra

“What is your name, fatat eaziza?”

Mayra didn’t so much as furrow her brows when he said this. She had already surmised that – that this was a different Nithel. One who couldn’t recall Alessio or her or even anyone. Not even the dragon. Not the same Nithel who spoke words of kindness and pure love to her.

She sucked in a breath. “Ma…[Read more]

Nithel’s brows furrowed when a girl approached him. Then he felt awful when she knew his name as well, and his eyes saddened. I don’t know her. Nithel nods once, slowly, “I am Nithel,” son of Father. I am the son of my father.

He wanted to ask for her name, but didn’t want to betray he didn’t remember her. “I-” He took a small step back, then…[Read more]

And here we go!! I’m introducing the new character!!

_______

Something was watching me. Possibly several things. Their gazes crawled across my back, watching, judging, calculating.

The feeling was more familiar than it should have been but no less unsettling.

I tried to turn around, but it was dark everywhere, the mind-numbing darkness of…[Read more]

I have no idea how to take Sahar and Acyn out so I’m just going to write something terrible and get them out XD

Acyn

We somehow made it to the other side of the minefield, without anyone falling through the floor.

There were two large buttons, one blue and one purple. What kind of color scheme was that? 

The castle boomed in delight.

“Now, o…[Read more]

@emily-waldorf he clearly does, but that just makes him so much more interesting.  I think that flawed characters are really fascinating, especially since we don’t see a lot of good, realistic ones.  Idk, but I kind of get the impression that a lot of “flawed characters” tend to either have major issues that get kind of waved off, or laughably m…[Read more]

Lupa growled as the walls shifted and changed and she stared after her wolf friend as she was sucked away and reappeared in a cathedral of sorts with everyone else.

Huffing, annoyed, and wanting to go home, she shook out her fur and shifted back into a human. Tossing her dark hair over her shoulder she moved to the front of the gathered people…[Read more]

Qatar is actually worried sick about Quin,but it comes out in anger. That dude has problems.

No, a broken crutch is probably a thing. 🙂 Poor guy has been having so much trouble keeping his crutches together in this castle, lol

@emma-miller that was really funny until you got to Qatar’s reaction to Quin, and then it was just sad 🙁

I broke Quin’s crutch, but feel free to change that part if you want 🙂

Sorry, folks. that last bit wasn’t very intelligible…

“Oh.”

The man looked petrified for a moment.

“I’m actually not quite sure.  I came from back there somewhere, but to be honest I’m not sure how I ended up in this cave to begin with.”  His smiled faltered.

Right. Got it. Qatar coughed.

“What about you?  Where’d you come from?”  Misu smiled hopefully.  “You don’t happen to know the way out…[Read more]

@calidris

Good! Yeah, Qatar is resentful. It’s kinda because he loves Quin that he resents him. They were best friends before the accident, and their relationship didn’t change with the circumstances, so it stagnated. (“Didn’t change”–they wouldn’t let it). Qatar is angry at circumstances, at Quin, but most of all at himself, for being angry…[Read more]

@calidris

WHy didn’t I get emails for these?? Disgrace on the server!

Also, what kind of a setting is the main group in?  I’m going to drop a new character in, but I’m not quite sure what environment to have him stumble upon

OooOOHhh! The Shrike? Or Saskia or that other one? So many possibilities! Anyway, they’re in a big cave with a stream in t…[Read more]

Mayra

Mayra stayed close behind Alessio as she stared at the strange man. He looked so familiar. Similar colouring and hair to Nithel so maybe he was from-

Wait.

Mayra narrowed her eyes. It couldn’t be. Could it?

Then the Castle shifted, morphing into a strange temple-like room with an ornate ceiling and pillars. Mayra should have felt e…[Read more]

@this-is-not-an-alien

Thank you! I’m glad you liked it. 🥰

*almost babbles, but will let Nithel and Alessio get re-acquainted instead*

The boy was clearly uncomfortable, unsure what to say or do. He was just a bit older than Nithel’s daughter, maybe the same age. Nithel’s lips didn’t change, but a partial smile touched his eyes. Relax. All Nithel’s troubles still vied for attention in the back of his mind, and he didn’t know how he was able to give the smile. At least… you…[Read more]

@kimlikesart

Ohhhhh he kept it!!!! That’s a beautiful touch. <3

ahhhhhh that so sweet!!!😭😭😭
