So after Roy let her go Dougella and Sharp showed up and allied with them, they’re probably going to try to ditch Roy but that’s not fully decided, but they don’t trust him anymore. Also Marewill and Dougella were both crying quite a bit. Then the Redspine showed up saying it wouldn’t attack and was going to help them. Spoiler Ditch Roy or kill him. I would if I were you. He is so inconsistent. Next time I will do better… maybe 10 hours ago, BlueWildRye said: The Redspine sighed, shaking his head, then glanced at Conner again. "He died bravely. Standing up for his ideals." The Redspine nodded. Was I really trying to eat her earlier? He really had changed. He sat down like a dog, facing the group. "So... were we talking about defying my creators? Because that is something I am willing to do." “If you would still have me I would like to help you.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stormfather He/Him Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 When Mark notices that no one follows him through the door, he opens it and peeks his head out. ”What’s wrong? Oh, cool, Jaksyn’s back. Hello.” Then he sees the red spine. “What the Ruin is that? Is it on our side?” Mark shoes away slightly when he notices the redspine’s claws. @Lotus Blossom @LightRinger @BlueWildRye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bearly have time these days “I used to be a sand master working as an assistant to someone high up in the government. While working there I came across some files that I shouldn’t have. It was fill with all the atrocities that they had committed over the past few decades. It was horrible to see what they had been doing. The person I worked for found out about what I knew and gave me an offer. To be executed along side my entire family or to come here where there was a chance that I would live if I told no one what I knew. In exchange my family would be locked up instead of being executed. I had to accept. that was how I ended up here. In exchange for a few deaths and my sandmastery I was given this shardblade. then later a gm offered protection and safety for my family if I made him(@The Bookwyrm) Reilise just how much he needs you. and now we are here.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
