TW/CW: Death, Fire, Injury, Dead Parents, Murder,

Synopsis: Fifty Years before Frost & Fire, half-elf Enna Helder gets a knock on her door, and she opens it to find a half dead messenger carrying a message from her sister- a sister she hasn't seen in twenty years. The Message is 11 months old, telling her to come to Halmire- the Capital of the Barony of Halmire- because something is happening. Something big. And when Enna gets to Halmire, she finds nothing. Her sister is missing, all her old friends are either dead or missing, and there's a death warrant out for Anne. With the help of unforeseen allies and unlikely friends she finds a secret deeper than anything she ever knew before or will know again, and the answer to the question she'd been asking herself all along.

Notes: Prequel to Frost & Fire. Takes Place 50 years before.

Alright, bet-

This little boy is Clover! He's the main character in this story.

His mom and dad didn't want to be responsible for a child, and his grandma insisted that she wanted to take care of him instead of leaving him at an orphanage, so he lives with nana Ellie!

Nana made that blanket for him, it helps him remember things and feel safe when stuff makes him nervous or scared, whenever he makes a new memory, the blanket gets a new piece!

He's very anxious most of the time, especially around new people, so he rarely talks, but is always thinking about everything and everyone he meets.

Clover has a best friend named Anne, she's a very grumpy looking girl that likes unusual and spooky things.

She has long black hair and usually wears dark colors, especially purple. She has a skull hairpin and cherishes it.

She doesn't hang around a lot of people because she finds them annoying and rude, but she became friends with Clover as soon as they started studying together.

Anne has two moms, but they're usually not around much, because of work and because they always want time for themselves, so she's very independent and way too mature for her age.

When Clover can't talk or stand up for himself, Anne does. She's blunt and honest and usually gets in trouble because of it, especially with the mean kids and teachers.

Anne always wants to help Clover and doesn't understand why she cares so much, she doesn't realize she has a crush on him.

Whenever Clover has trouble with his memories and decides to look for other pieces of the blanket, Anne tags along "just to make sure he's safe"

Clover gave her a flower once, she keeps it inside her diary.

Nana Ellie is a sweet old lady who takes care of Clover. She's a widow and always talks about how her wife would've been so proud of Clover for being such a strong little man.

Ellie is also a witch but has never told many people about it. Other than making it known, she prefers to give gifts to the people she loves so they're always safe, even if she's away.

Clover's blanket is magical and each piece contains a memory of his, Nana made it so that he can travel to his memories, and still be safe.

Imagination has an affect on magic and makes it so people and scenarios that have happened turn into weirder, more exaggerated things, from a child's perspective of the world

Clover has had his fair share of sad memories, so his imagination turns it into scary things, to keep him from thinking about it much, but they're also part of his journey and he has to face it sometimes.

For example, if he remembers his mom yelling at him, before he went to live with his grandma, he imagines a big monster roaring and growling at him while he's unable to move or say anything.

I originally thought of this as a way to vent, but i got very attached to the characters, and i think it'd be an interesting way to show that all of our memories makes us part of who we are!

For the ask game, 95, 76 and 52? Thanks!

Hi! Thanks for the ask!

52: In what ways does your oc cope with anger? How easily angered are they? Do they lash out?

I'll answer for *pulls out random wheel generator with all their ocs names in it* Dash Galendel. He isn't very easily angered, mostly a very calm person. Unless you hurt his sister. Since he has shadow magic, and that's powered by emotions, he tends to cope with anger by bottling it up for later use (Like he did when he was fighting dragons every week, though it wasn't a very healthy coping mechanism), or by having a pillow fight with someone. Generally his sister. He doesn't lash out.

76: What is/was your oc’s relationship with their family like? Was it happy, tense, or abusive? What living family does your oc currently have, if any?

Enna- She has a very complicated family relationship. Her mother died about 3 days after Enna was born, and so Enna never knew her and was raised by a Gnome named Pike Helder and her adoptive daughter/Enna's sister, Mae Helder. Also a gnome. PIke died when Enna was 11. Enna had a brother, Zibra Kromlin, who died when she was 20 and he was 24. She also has a long lost sister, Alexa, who is her half sister and she (when she finds out) gets on fairly well with her. Alexa is alive. Enna's father is an Clestial (angel) who was imprisoned for the first half of Enna's life (42 years), and she ony got to know him after that, but they get along. Enna also has a twin sister, Anne Helder-Kromlin. Since they're soul bound (Elven twins are weird!), they get along very well.

Finally, Enna's aunt is a fallen angel. A devil. She's nice. And actually Enna's favorite relative past Anne & Zibra.

95: How is your oc about keeping someone else’s secret? Are they the gossiping type, are do they hold true on their promise to keep things quiet?

Anne- She is very good at secrets. She runs a thieves guild (Oleski). Secrets are her job. She'll hold true to her promise.

Excerpts:

“Listen, thief. I don’t know if you’ve been here before but be respectful. The Baron is a powerful man. Four others of your kind were already executed, and the reason you aren’t dead is because I don’t think you’re guilty. Don’t make me regret that.”

But it couldn’t be Anne. Not only was something about this woman different, she had a bow and quiver slung across her back instead of Anne’s swords. Plus, Anne wouldn’t dare show her face in the city, not this openly, not when Geir still had a death warrant out for her. Bezeo’s friend had left the city nearly a year ago, on the run for her life. He- and the rest of those who still sided with her- hadn’t seen her since. Until now.

Place in the Aqurah Timeline: A prequel to Frost & Fire, about Enna & Anne's past.

Note: Entirely based off an (Kinda ongoing) D&D campaign!

Viez chuckled quietly. “Two asks? Well, I suppose my first one wasn’t truly about your characters. I’ll give you that. Either way I’m happy to ask people as many questions as they like.”

“Who’s your most adventurous characters? Have they always had this earnest calling for excitement or was it recently discovered?” They hummed before chuckling. “And who’s the couch potato who would rather watch them trying to fulfill their missions or quests then tag along with them.”

(I am answering this during breaks in a camp I'm a CIT (Counselor in training) at so it will be a bit rushed as there are several loud children everywhere)

Anne's the couch potato. She wouldn't admit it, though. She much prefers to stay home and run her thevies guild without getting killed. Each time she's left Halmire since she was 20 something bad has happened. First time she got kidnapped. Second time Norfolk (her hometown) burned down and- fuck why are they screaming. Now one of them handed me foam blocks in a cup that are apparently a smoothie. They do this everyday- and Enna (her twin sister) nearly died and her adoptive mothers grave was gone forever.

Enna's adventerous. She can't sit still, always. From when she was a baby. She just is always- i am not cut out for childcare, fuck- always wanted to explore.

So getting a chance to do it for her job and be on speaking terms with her sister? Its her dream job. She loves it. Wishes there were less war involved, but she loves it. And she helps Anne run the thieves guild sometimes, too.
