Ragnarok

There were a lot of people Alessio didn’t know now and it was disconcerting. But he didn’t have time for that he just needed to keep his cool and thin-

“BURN!” A girl yelled sharply enough Alessio flinched out of his skin. “Leave the evil pool alone! For just a minute! Okay? One minute!”

Wait, no. Nobody needed to touch the glowing pool?!?!

“…[Read more]

Alessio didn’t look up until he felt Leana hand. He blinked, glancing up at her thoughtful, kind eyes. How was he supposed to protect her, or anyone here!? Everything was going to come crashing down all at once, he was sure. But he still felt warm when she squeezed his arm, and he froze in place trying so hard not to flinch or anything that w…[Read more]

Nithel sighed softly, and shut his eyes, thinking as Nathair walked off. He fingered the pendants on his necklace, feeling the flower he’d carved, for Leana… *memories/worries for the future/other thoughts…*

Leana smiled sadly at Alessio and squeezed his arm. *thoughts* “How do you know that?” She pushed to her feet, shutting her eyes in a…[Read more]

Alessio glanced up as Nathair wandered off. He’d noticed Leana seemed to sympathize with the man, and Nathair was so good with words, he’d use that to his advantage Alessio knew. But if he said anything, if he said too much he’d kill him.

Biting his lip, Alessio curled his knees into his chest. The pounding of his own heart thudded against him n…[Read more]

Nathair was getting bored (terrifying prospect, he knows). So he wandered off in search of Burn to annoy. He was talking to somebody new (that or Nathair just hadn’t bothered to remember the strange, masked person).

“Burn’s the only person I’ve known before…whatever this is.” Search was saying to the man.

“I’ve learned the names of the people I…[Read more]

@kimlikesart @hannahrenner Ya’ll’s worlds look awesome!!!

*cracks knuckles* Now…to actually write my world’s worldbuilding

(THIS IS GOING TO MOTIVATE ME TO ACTUALLY WRITE THAT CASUMBRAN ENCYCLOPEDIA I KEEP MEANING TO WRITE BECAUSE I KEEP FORGETTING THE NAMES OF EVERYTHING I MADE UP ON THE SPOT FOR THE PLOT!!)

WORLD CHARACTER CHART…[Read more]

Hey, what if Lord Amnesia throws them all into one of our characters’ worlds at some point? That could develop how the characters acted in their own element and develop worldbuilding mechanics and everything!

If anybody’s interested we could use a chart like this to introduce the world and then try to build from there?

WORLD CHARACTER CHA…[Read more]

“I told him he needed to give her flowers, but he didn’t follow my genius advice.” Arsene chirped. Are you done!?!? HE DIDN’T HAVE A CRUSH ON LEANA HE DIDN’T!!!!! WHY WAS EVERYONE TORMENTING HIM LIKE THIS!?!?!?!?!

“Bold words from someone thinks robbing a bank is the perfect way to get a date with his girlfriend.” Alessio grumbled under his bre…[Read more]

Leana accepts the cloth from Alessio, with a pasted smile. (It hurts.) “Thank you.” Where’d you get it?

Nathair glanced at the girl and Nithel, and smirked a little.

Nithel caught the smirk, then looked at the pair with a growing tingly feeling inside. *hasn’t been around Leana over a year, almost two* *she’s never been around guys, really,…[Read more]

Alessio buried his face into Nithel’s shoulder, wanting everything to stop, to just be safe for a few minutes.

There was so much he wanted to say and so many questions he wanted to ask. But he also didn’t want to move or breathe or do anything that might break the spell. Really he just didn’t want to be alone, with no one he could depend on.…[Read more]

Nithel came a step nearer, arm starting to slide off Alessio, knowing he had plenty glass of his own. They all did. But he wanted to check Leana.

–

Leana’s chest tightened a bit at Nathair’s rebuke, but she breathed in and out slowly. I’m not sure if it wouldn’t be worth it, getting the supplies. We worked hard for them. But, of course… maybe…[Read more]

Leana was watching him in a very pathetic sort of way. Nathair raised an eyebrow as she moved toward him, still with that helpful sort of innocence. Nobody had ever really hurt her yet, had they? For her to still be that naïve…

Nithel made a move to stop her.

“It’s fine, Papa.” She said gently, like a girl with a stubborn streak. Nithel didn’t t…[Read more]

Alessio grasped Nithel’s, and the man’s eyes widened in a bit of shock. But when Alessio leaned against him, arm wrapped tightly over his shoulder, tears again filled Nithel’s eyes. He released Leana and put both arms around Alessio, tears rolling down his cheeks.

Leana pressed her lips together, watching them. She swallowed hard, and pulled in a…[Read more]

“I don’t know what else I could want…” Nithel said softly. Alessio clenched his jaw and glared at Nathair, who just smiled at him. Nathair was good at putting people on their defensive, with his words. Alessio didn’t know if he even consciously did it anymore…

He just wanted to run, as far away as possible. They didn’t need to get in trouble be…[Read more]

“Not to sound callous, but is there anything else you wanted?”

Nithel swallowed hard, It’s not callus. It’s protective. *honestly a bit heartened by it* “I don’t know what else I could want…” Softly, his brows furrowing. He glanced down at Leana, and she stared up at him with those beautiful blue eyes. Teary. What if the only way to save Lea…[Read more]

Nathair was sulking in some corner of the room pretending he wasn’t sulking by reading all the labels on the still intact glass tubes.

He stopped when he heard someone behind him and turned to see Nithel with Leana clinging to him like the trusting innocent she was. What did he want now?

“I’m sorry…” Nithel said softly. “I shouldn’t h…[Read more]

“Daddy?” Leana gasped at Nithel’s tone, looking at him in shock.

“You don’t know anything about survival…” Nathair whispered, and thoughts raced behind his eyes.

You don’t know my story. Nithel’s heart pulsed with anger, but at his next thought it turned to pain. But I don’t know yours, either. 

“Exactly how much do you ‘want what’s best…[Read more]

“You speak like your name, Snake!” Nithel shouted, his voice reverberating through the room like a real cry. Alessio couldn’t remember ever hearing him raise his voice, even in the worst parts of their adventures. His gentle manner made it all the more passionate and…terrifying. “True friendship gives without expecting to be given back. It does w…[Read more]

“Daddy?” Leana gasped, lifting her face and seeing a man kneeling before her. Wrinkles hovered around his eyes, and on his forehead. His golden hair had turned gray around the temples. Scars touched his arms. Are there more beneath your clothes? His muscles were still there, somehow firmer. His eyes… his beautiful eyes were so serious. They’d…[Read more]

Whoops, he’d pushed it too far, and this time he hadn’t even meant to. Well. Mostly. Nathair was testing boundaries that was how you figured people out, and figuring out people was how you stayed safe and got what you needed.

“Thank you. It is.” She stepped back, baring her teeth in a plastered smile. Then shifted to an order, maybe to fluster…[Read more]
