Oct 1, 2024 - Introduction
[Cypher Reese]

"Um, Hello?" Cypher waves and rubs the back of his neck, looking to the side where a figure sits on a chair, giving him a thumbs up. "So, I have to give an introduction of sorts. I-ha! I don't really know what to say so…" He trails off and bites his lip. "I'm Cypher, My friends call me Cy or Cyph. I'm-uh- 24 years old. I have a girlfriend, her name is Wyn and we have a wolfdog named Patriot." Cypher takes a seat on the stool and sips water from his bottle.

With a sigh, he looks over the edge of the stage to a sea of darkness. "I make weapons and am the strategist for my team though Rowan might think otherwise." he laughed. "Nice to meet you?"

Oct 2, 2024 - Waking Up
[Rowan Oliver Ellis]

Waking up in a cold sweat, not knowing where he was, was becoming a routine for Rowan. His dreams were often plagued by Panther in pursuit of him or his team, his family. Today was no different. Rowan sat up in bed and took a few shaky breaths, closing his eyes and revising his mental affirmations. He's dead, he can't hurt you. You're fine, keep breathing. Sparrow is ok, find her. You're OK, you're OK you'reOKyou'reOKyou'reOKyou'reOKyou'reOKyou'reOKyou'reOK. With another shaky breath, Rowan stumbled out of bed and walked out of the room. Hearing the white noise machine playing in Violet's room and the sounds of a movie in Nathan's room, he knew that the kids were occupied and that he was fine to leave the room. Slowly taking steps down the stairs, he went into the kitchen to find Sparrow.

The relief he felt at seeing her felt like a heavy burden had been taken off his shoulders. There she was, standing in front of the coffee maker with a frown, inches away from hitting it. Rowan walked up behind her and grabbed her shoulders with trembling fingers. He rested his forehead on her head and felt her shoulders relax. "How are you feeling, Nightshade?" she asked softly, turning around and leaning against his body. Rowan sighed, his tense muscles relaxing. "Better now." He muttered. As the coffee maker beeped, he grabbed 2 mugs and poured the fresh coffee into them. Rowan took a sip of the bitter liquid and completely relaxed, He wasn't on the run anymore, he had a family and a job with friends. He was ok.
