this has most likely been asked before but how did he and I think Grant get separated (?)

really sorry if this is stupid question you dont gotta answer I'm js really curious abt both of their lore :DD

It's not a stupid question don't worry, even if it was I will answer anything that gives me an excuse to talk about my babies Anyway, onto the topic at hand. The pair of them were being pursued by this group of bandits called the 'desert dwellers'. They taunted Santino, coaxing him out to find them in an attempt to ambush him + claim his life, it was Grant that ultimately swooped in to prevent this fate. This is the beginning and how they met in the first place, what brought them to meet was what ultimately separated them. As I just remarked, they were both being sought out, though for separate reasons. For Santino it was because he was a runaway prince, a man of high status, the group often killed people with high titles over their heads in order to get their name out there as a to be feared group. For Grant it was simply because he was a traitor, an ex member turned vigilante working to thwart these bandits. When they were paired together they both took on this vigilante role, fighting side by side, only with two targets sticking together, it made sense that the 'desert dwellers' would increase their efforts to get them both killed, saying this they had more focus on Santino because of his previous status. This made things a living hell and of course Santino knew that they would claim one of their lives eventually, he also knew that he was the main target, no matter where he ran, they would chase after him. He decided the easiest way out of this would be to have Grant take his life instead. In doing so, Grant would be able to return to some form of 'normality', they wouldn't focus on him so much. He fought over it but in the end carried the act out thanks to Santino's stubbornness.

Just a coloured sketch so it's slightly messy in places but here's my end [a.k.a basically what Lenora would look like if she belonged to me];

Like all things, Raymond. Raymond is why.

Growing up, while INCREDIBLY close [almost like brothers], Grant and Zephyr both had completely different dreams and aspirations. To achieve his own, Zephyr had to move very far away. In the beginning things worked out, the two of them happily kept in contact via writing [as well as they could considering Grant began his vigilante endeavours around this point + was constantly on the move].

In Zephyr's move away and aim to chase his dreams, he would be left broken, disappointed and alone, unable to reach those highs he once wanted to. Spiralling to a point he would isolate due to shame and a feeling of worthlessness. His letters would continue being sent, only those letters were full of lies, made up stories of success.

Cue Raymond entering the picture. Once he was recruited by Raymond his letters would stop completely, he was engrossed with his newfound work/purpose [as well as Raymond himself] and simply lost track of the people back at home, not just Grant, but his own family too. He knew the things he began aiding were unforgivable but he simply couldn't face the truth of his situation, nor who he was turning out to be. His cruel turn was a complete contrast to who he was brought up to be and he didn't want anyone to find out about the hole he'd dug himself into.

Just got home from a MenB vaccine appointment, the lady that administered the jab was super friendly and magical and she somewhat helped me get over my fear of needles. She made the whole thing completely painless and soothed that little bit of anxiety I had before the appointment [to the point that for the first time ever I had little to no anxiety during the time I was there and also didn't cry when I felt the needle going in] While all that's positive, people are not lying about those side effects, within moments of leaving that room, despite being perfectly happy just a second ago, I felt hot, dizzy and half collapsed onto the floor. My dad had to prop me up as we walked back to the car and as soon as I got in said car I started uncontrollably dry heaving, It was AWFUL. I knew there would be side effects but I was not expecting them to come on that fast. I'm wrapped up all cozy and have all sorts of things by my side just in case [sick bowl, water bottle, pain meds, etc.] and overall I will be taking things easy for a bit because these side effects are guaranteed to hit me like a truck later on.
