#darkness character

Carefully Théo stepped into the bathtub and sank into the warm water. He didn't remember the last time he had a bath - it must have been weeks ago, before this whole nightmare started.

He still didn't know whether Madame Starkov said the truth or whether she was insane. Under normal circumstances he wouldn’t believe a word she said, but the circumstances weren’t normal. It would be so much easier to declare everything she said as nonsense. Raising people from the dead just wasn’t possible. Only God had that power, not some random woman who claimed to be a witch. It just couldn’t be true.

But Théo remembered exactly what it had felt like to die. He remembered the coarse rope around his throat and the hood they had put over his head. The fabric had smelled of fear.

Thomas’ face still showed up whenever Théo closed his eyes. He had come, even though Théo forbade him to. He shouldn’t have watched this.

Théo remembered everything down to the last detail. He remembered the voices of the policemen around him. How the lever had creaked when they opened the trapdoor beneath him. How he fell and how the rope stopped the fall. It hurt, but his neck didn't break and death and panic crept up his throat slowly. 

Darkness had lowered over him. And then there had been light. A bright and shining light and his mothers outstretched arms. Did he imagine things in his fight with death? Or had it been heaven?

Théodore Cain. Part-Werewolf. Son. Brother. Murderer. Resurrected.

Contrary to popular believe, i’m actually not dead, just really stressed and busy because of my upcoming graduation from my job training and the existential crisis that comes with it. I’ll try posting more, but no promises.

“With all due respect, baba, I am old enough to make my on choices. I did what I had to do and I would do it again.” Morrigan got up.

“You didn’t have to do it”, Ade reminded her. “You wanted to.”

She turned around to him. “Do you think I wanted to go to exile for fifty years? Do you think I didn’t miss you? Do you think I stole the book just because I felt like it? That thing is evil. But imagine what would have happened, if the book had been around during the witch war.”

“That’s not what I meant. Anya could have taken the book and left with it, just like she did all those times before.” Most likely she’d been happy to do so. She didn’t like people anyway. “But you did it, just to be with Garrett.”

“Yes.” Morrigan nodded. “Because, believe it or not, I love him. And I don’t owe you an apology or an explanation for it.”

Morrigan. witch. thief. doesn’t take shit.

The longer Ade looked at him, the more he could see the exhaustion in his face. It had been days at least, since Connor got a bit of sleep and it started to show.

Look, it’s Connor. I tried to do some art. Not really sure, whether I like it more with or without the lining. 

Is it time to get some watercolor paper? Well, maybe.

Do I know why one of his eyes looks so weird? No.

Should I practice more? Definitely.

Is it a good painting for trying out watercolor for the first time? I think so.

“So you saved me?”, Connor asked.

Anya shook her head. “No, i couldn’t. You were too hurt, you died right under my hands.”

“I don’t understand ...”

“You died, Connor. You died and I brought you back.”

“But how?”

“I’m a necromancer. That’s what I do. Now get up! We have to find out who survived the attack.”

For @yourocsbackstory‘s character backstory weeks. I’m surprisingly early this week.

Introduction | Family

This week on “Your OC’s Backstory” ... how on earth is this guy still alive?

spoiler(!) he isn’t.

Garrett actually never went to school. He’s old, you know? And he’s from a pretty rural part of Russia. He picked up all of his skills and knowledge from mentors, friends and people he met during the years. That he managed not to die during his teenager years is a miracle, honestly.

He was born a warlock and I actually don’t know anything about his parents, but they were not supportive at all. I think he eventually left home and went to pick up skills while trying to survive. Until his death, he was one of the most powerful warlocks in existence and he knew. he’s arrogant, you know? 

When he was a few hundred years old - maybe 300 or 400? I don’t know - he found Anastasia, who was a little child rejected by her parents because of her witchcraft.  Ana became his semi-sister and learned a lot from him, so Garrett is more like a teacher than a learner.

For @yourocsbackstory’s OC’s Backstory weeks. I’m a little late for the party, but who cares?
