Fact Or Fiction Thalia Thalia felt to comfortable here, and wildly out of place at the same time. Obviously the woman was the reason she was caught, but how could any true heathen receive her message yet disagree with her plans? Her mind kept flipping back to his name, Koin. How simple it seemed, it matched him so well. She rolled her eyes at her own lack of self-control regarding him. So now they were just. Moving her in? s he picked at her bacon eyeing them all. Cautious of the food when he leaned in a bit closer "You should really eat." She glared at him. She should eat? of course she should. hell after 3 years of saving extra from school lunches and cheap freezer foods she should be scarfing down this delicious meal and going for seconds. She wouldn't. she would pick and toy with it and take small bites to savor. they wouldn't just make her comfortable here. A golden cage was still a cell. She huffed and picked at her food, scooting away from him a little. She was shocked
War Unknown She had jerked awake that night, her chest pounding. What the hell was that? The presence seemed so familiar, but..changed somehow. changed from what? who was it? Family. she knew that much. She could feel her own lineage in the message, a calling. She had been dreaming of the days to come, the summer festival and her hope for Roiken to ask her hand. Then the images before her dissolved and a violent, harsh vision took shape. A massive church, the doors locked and Dagaz, the rune of Dawn, her family rune was painted on each wooden entrance, shaking and trembling as people screamed from the other side. Flames ignited, a path from the parking lot rolling and expanding to the base of the church, up the sides, scorching and growing as it engulfed the wood. It's time. It's time. That feirce determined voice beckoned her into the chaos, an invitation to join in this carnage. She sat in bed for a while, trying to steady her breathing, but she could hear others moving in the
Acceptance Thalia They were mostly silent through the rest of dishes, and Thalia couldn't manage to fight back the feeling growing in her. She wanted to tell this woman. She wanted to divulge every horrible moment of her life and cry against her. She hated it. Hated herself for how quickly it took hold of her. She had to do something. She took hold of one of the plates in the strainer and flung it against the wall before taking off, not even sparing a glance back at Rehida. She was sure someone, if not the woman herself would storm after her, but no one did. She spotted a cracked door and carelessly threw herself inside, slamming it and locking it behind her. She stayed there breathing hard, listening for footsteps, there was only silence. She let out a deep breath her attention shifting to the room. It looked like an office? kind of anyways. Directly Infront of her was a huge window, black curtains blocking the view outside, and Infront of that a massive cherry wood desk with a w
Sorry Ladies Koin He had no idea how much he really needed a good training session, and wow was Connor really kicking ass this time. Extra work outs the past few weeks should have him ahead, but his diet or lack of, had him weak and even a bit unsteady on his feet. Catching Thalia watching them had Azier excited. He wanted so badly for her to see him, to feel his soft fur. He was absolutely convinced that if she met Azier she would fall wildly in love with him and spend the entire day letting him put his head in her lap. Koin couldn't help but to grin every time Azier brought the image up for both of them *I bet she's an animal lover. what girl wouldn't want a giant warm bodyguard. * Koin smiled shaking his head as he pulled clothes back on, training now over for the day *Or she'll be scared. * Azier huffed *Whatever. you just don't trust me. * Koin swallowed hard *I know you wouldn't hurt her. but. She’s new to all this I think so..Just give her time ok? * Azier grumbled and retr
Not Yours Thalia She woke with a jerk as she felt something tap her side, turning and sitting up in the same instance. That guy..koin, he was crouched down beside her, the sunup behind him giving a framing light to his chiseled features. Why did he have to be so damn good looking? Well really if monsters were as ugly on the outside as they were inside then we wouldn't trust them in the first place would we? she sighed and stood "Ready?" she grumbled heading for the door. He stood up slowly watching her go "Well. You looked comfy so, Connor and I went ahead and got your stuff.." her heart dropped, and she turned on her heel to glair at him "What?". he swallowed some studying her "It's all...upstairs." he said quietly "I just thought.." She shook her head and stomped upstairs, stopping in the hall when she realized she didn't know which room. Didn't matter really because he was already behind her and gestured to one of 3 doors on the right "Uhm, that's your room. we set everythi
Weird and Weirder Connor Things just kept getting turned upside down lately. Now Rehida, the woman who had raised him was something else? He knew the woman had secrets, everyone pretty much knew her origins were a don't ask subject, but. Witches? His mind kept flirting back to the day Rehida sat them all down on the back porch. The way Dedrick seemed so soft now, his hand rubbing small circles in her back and his eyes full of concern. "A long, long time ago, when heathens and Vikings began to raid, then to migrate to new lands, they would build what was called and Apex. This was a place of great spiritual importance, and there the keepers of tales and legends built homes and halls alongside gifted individuals, most called Volvas, some called Seers, though there were many names." He couldn't get over the way her eyes seemed to sparkle as she spoke, everyone listening in and even shifting forward some. "The task was simple, to bring home with them, to give the children places to c
Koin Koin had been stretched out on his bed for a while, listening to the usual weepy songs with lyrics that seemed to fit so many situations. She..seemed different sometimes, not harsh and angry but almost curious of him. Then like the wind changing direction she would just flip and seem to hate him again. What could he do? everything he thought was helpful only ended with her yelling at him. Then Connor yelled and, and they found the water. He couldn't breath. His stomach knotted instantly. Had they really been so terrible that she would rather die than face another moment with him? He bairly felt the ground under his feet as he knocked back the door, sure she would be long gone by now with all the water. Then the whole truth hit him. At first he was relieved beyond description. It seemed the world returned to him. And in the next instance it was anger. She had played a cruel prank. She decided that letting him think she had killed herself in his own tub would be hilariou
The River UnknownThings moved quickly around the farm the next day, almost everyone was packing up, awaiting some other clue or sign of where they should be. It was decided that the two elderly members of their group would stay behind with 3 children and one of the pregnant women, they would all look after things when the rest traveled. She was more than happy to take off, to escape the oppressive heat of Louisiana, and to meet this person calling to them. She knew it was family, without a doubt. The family rune had been used, and she felt that strong connection in the message. Being the youngest meant that she had less time to learn than her siblings, but one of the first lessons anyone in the village had ever gotten was the importance of a blood line. She and most everyone in her family were something most called holders, which meant they held some sort of Magic. The story went that one woman, a volva in the early times of settling, watched her own family run out into the night,
