The light arced over him, illuminating him in gold as he approached, angling across the pavement toward her. His hair tousled, a lock spilling over his forehead. He held the hand of one of the girls who followed him. Ali strode just behind them—shirtless as well, although he had no wounds, just hints of old scars sheened by the soft glow.
She unlocked the doors and Jason slid into the back with the girls. To her alarm, Ali slid into the passenger seat beside her, a sly grin on his face, curls tossed over his forehead.
She ignored him and looked into the back where Jason was buckling the girls’ seatbelts. Their eyes were dark pools of uncertainty and hope. Where the light grazed their hair, it glinted a deep auburn.
From where he was leaning over, she could see his left shoulder, the one cut into again. Dried blood plastered the cut. At least it wasn’t bleeding again, but her stomach twinged in sympathy.
“Are you okay?” she said.
He nodded. “I’m fine. I’m just—” he stopped, looked at her. “How much did you hear?”
UPDATE: Decided to completely redo the shading today because I just honestly hated how this looked originally lmao. Also re-drew Avara because I didn’t like her portrait. This now looks infinitely better.
Some random facts of these ocs below:
Azul is not a dark mage himself technically, but knows a lot about the magic type. He is also a direct descendant of Amaros, and thus has access to the kind of magic he offers. Azul’s most typical thing to say is “So who fucked up now?” Because he’s basically the grumpy problem solver for his close ones. He has a little brother Reuben who is a fire elemental. Azul is the love interest of Diojas.
-------------------------------------------
Miriam Is a medium who lives with her childhood friend Maxwell, a wyvern she basically raised since finding his egg as a child. Miriam is one of Azul’s closest friends, and has the same vibe of “tired of your shit/will sip tea while silently judging you.”
--------------------------------------------
Jurou is the epitome of sassy flamboyant antagonist, who likes to taunt his opponents. He’s also a dad and despite being a “villain” he’s genuinely a good parent to Caelan. His Jorogumo mother’s spirit lives within his soul and sometimes comments on things happening around him.
------------------------------------------------
Amaros is the ancient king of a warrior Kingdom who performed a sacred ritual to turn himself into a Deity in order to protect his empire. He’s seen as a bit of a devious Deity, whose power can be both a gift and a horrible curse.True to his title his personality is a bit sinister and psychopathic, although he does take his position as a Deity and protector of his own citizens seriously, even though his kingdom was destroyed eons later and now the members of it wander across lands all over the place.
---------------------------------------------
Rayna is the epitome of relaxed playful big sister, who doesn’t take shit too seriously. Despite her goofy nature, she takes her job of protecting her kingdom’s weaker ruler (oc named Helias) very seriously, and is very skilled and strong fighter. She’s got a girlfriend who’s a librarian
------------------------------------------------
Caelan is the last member of a long lost clan with extremely powerful elemental storm powers. His vengeful ancestral spirits often try to possess him to extract their revenge, but his adoptive parent Jurou typically stops them from causing too much harm needlessly. Caelan has feelings for Claude, but it’s also an awkward situation given Claude’s clan was the one who mostly destroyed the elemental one century ago. Calean mostly comes off kind and polite, but can react very extremely. (basically he has slight yandere vibes)
Avara is an Astral sorceress, meaning her magic is themed around night-sky and stars. She has a non-blood related sister Lumi, who is very protective over her. Avara was almost forcibly married to a horrible man, whom Lumi helped her escape from. She’s another good friend of Azul and Miriam. She’s pretty flirty but rarely genuinely means it, usually doing it just to tease people.
Claude is a surviving member of a telepath clan who caused their demise by being forced to do a ritual with his twin brother that went horribly wrong. His powers and mind are both kind of unstable now, and he works for Araknos who promised to find a way to fix him. He has feelings for Caelan, but is hyper aware of the bad blood between their clans.
Diojas is the eldest child of the Vermonte family, and known for his dramatic temper and perfectionism. Despite his sometimes difficult personality, Diojas genuinely cares for his loved ones and their citizens, his perfectionism really just wanting to make sure everything works properly. He was also cursed as a baby unknowingly to his family, which partially resulted to his difficult personality. He’s Azul’s love interest.
Kaç yol arkadaşı kaldı şimdi geriye
gençliğin ilk acılarını birlikte keşfettiğimiz
kaç yol arkadaşı?
Sürüyerek götürdüğümüz dargın beraberlikleri saymazsak
ne kalıyor elimizde?
ölenler,
terk edenler,
bir de telefonları, adresleri, kendileri değişenler...
