BIO:
“Vivica, you are in charge while I am away.” Aesa started gathering her hunting gear as she talked with her eldest. “Don’t answer the door to anyone, you understand? Not even me, not with how things are right now. Make sure your little sister gets her milk as well please” Vivica stood by the front door listening to her mother.
“Yes Ma’am” Watching her mother walk towards Kara and kissing her forehead, Vivica fiddled with the hem of her sleeves. “When do you think you’ll be back?” Vivs voice shook with uncertainty.
“I don’t know child…” Aesa walked over to her daughter and hugged her. “I’ll do my best to be quick” Aesa looked at Vivica one last time before heading out for the day.
As the hours pass by, chaos shrouded the village they live in. Grimward has started an attack on the village, homes engulfed in flames. Vivica took notice and started barricading the doors and windows to try and block any intruders coming in. To no avail a few raiders busted through the door. One of the men struck a blow on Viv knocking her down onto the ground in pain.
“WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO US?!” Tears started streaming down her face, Kara could be heard crying until someone walked over to her…The room filled with a deathly silence. Skarde was next, they grabbed the 7 year old boy by his neck and lifted him into the air.
“Why?” A sinister laugh echoed from the man “because young child, if no one here joins us. THEY WILL ALL DIE!!!!” His grip tightened around neck as Skarde clawed at the man choking the life out of him. Vivica took notice of Kara, blood was dripping down from the cloth she was wrapped in. She then turned her attention to Skarde who was fighting with whatever life he had left. Viv stood up taking everything in, her breathing becoming uneven, unable to control herself. She became blinded with rage and charged at the vile creature taking her brothers life away. Vivica plunged a knife into his knee causing him to drop Skarde, another person rushed over to try and attack the two but she held her brother close to her and screamed for these terrible beings to leave. Out of nowhere powerful waves of magical energy could be felt throughout the area causing the enemies to pause in their tracks. It was at that moment she knew something was wrong, the men looking at one another as if they were speaking to each other without using their lips.
“How about this-” Viv held her brother tightly to her as these men walked closer to her “We will spare your little brother if you come with us” Her eyes darted between Skarde and the men, fear in her eyes. Knowing what had to be done Vivica whispered to her brother.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be back one day…I love you Skarde” They cried together before one of the men grabbed Viv by her hair and dragged her away. Skarde crawled over to his baby sister Kara and held her close, waiting for their mother to come home.
Aesa had a successful hunting trip and started to walk back towards the village. Smoke rose high which caught Aesa by surprise. Who could be making such a large fire? Her eyes followed the trail of smoke down to the main action. Aesa dropped the rabbits and dashed on over to her home.
“Skarde?! Vivica?!” She rushed in to see her son cradling his dead sister, tears streaming down his face as he tried to stay brave.
“She’s gone Momma…Kara…” Skardes voice cracked, unable to hold his emotions anymore he started to cry hard as he clung to Kara. “They took Vivica Momma, they took her away…” Aesa walked over to her children and held them to her. “She’ll come back…She said so herself.” Skarde leaned into his mothers embrace not once letting go of Kara. Aesa’s breathing was uneven taking in the information he had given her.
“We need to leave…” She took kara and stood up walking over to the fireplace, rearranging the logs and laying Kara down on them. “Onrich is our safest option right now my son” Skarde walked over watching his mother place his sister inside the fireplace. “Once we reach there I will do what I can to secure us shelter.” Aesa lit her fireplace and took a step back holding Skardes hand.
“Momma…I’m scared” He squeezed his mothers hand tightly as she stared at the flames. Aesa did her best to stay strong for her son but that didn’t last long as she started to hear the sizzling of Kara’s skin. Aesa fell to her knees as a throbbing pain formed inside of her chest. Kara is Dead. Vivica is gone. My son is bruised. I will have my revenge.
