Eyshur! ( I LOVE THIS MAN AGH-)A Chapter by Alice Mayes(ok he's not the first protagonist but I love him so freaking much) TW! Will contain cannibalistic episodes, form of self-harm, sort of abuse, drinking, uh uh uh probably some other stuff He's an Adylyaxian born in 3002, so he doesn't know what a free version of Adylyax looks like. He has a sister, Myreith, who's older than him by about three years. Up until he was six, his family got along really well. His mother and father had a steady relationship and were good parents, and at the time, Eyshur wasn't having to deal with his "episodes" (something he inherits from his mother, who I based off of a sort of shark mix) However, 3008, his mom gets rounded into a slave auction. These are very common in the empire. This was a very traumatic event for Eyshur, especially since that was the last time he ever saw his mother. His dad became a lot more aggressive after that event, drinking a lot more and fighting with Myreith. Eyshur also had something similar to autism, and since he essentially acted a lot differently and got affected a lot more by certain things, his dad would lose his s**t on him a lot. Now, when Eyshur turned about 11, he had his first really bad episode. How this worked- due to something Eyshur inherited from his mother, he is unable to consume any raw blood without going into a full on cannibalistic brain fog. This actually happened when he was at a neighbor's house, and he doesn't remember the majority of it. He'd ended up attacking his friend/neighbor, who had told Eyshur what happened. Eyshur was terrified of this fact, but he had his neighbor's support and care. This happened a few nights later, where his dad had been fishing and told him to just eat something out of whatever he caught and lot it when Eyshur asked to cook it. Eyshur ended up having to eat part of it, there was still fresh blood, but he was terrified he was gonna end up hurting his dad, so he just ran to his room and hid under the bed. He wouldn't go into full brain fog mode if there was no living beings around (heat signatures) but he never knew how long it would last and sometimes he'd end up biting himself in frustration and to try to get it to end faster. This went on for years- dad losing his s**t nonstop, Eyshur having episodes, him biting himself. Myreith also started drinking, and had a boyfriend, Ekkal, who sort of just spawned in hating Eyshur. Anyways, fast forward to 3016, a slave trader comes into town, says any Adylyaxian between the ages of 14 and 18 need to be inspected for anyone that might be an "item" for a slave auction. Another thing about Eyshur- everyone in his mom's family was stupid huge (like, tall and burly huge) and Eyshur ended up hitting his growth spurt at 14, so when the trader first saw him, he thought he was like 20. Eyshur's already freaking out, because well, nobody wants to get put into an auction, especially not him (his autism-thing naturally makes him hates crowds and loud noises, and he's hated stages ever since what's happened to his mom) Myreith ends up losing her s**t, because she and some of her buddies start fighting the guards. Eyshur's freaking out because there's blood going everywhere, and eventually Myreith just tells him to haul his a*s out of there. He ends up just running in one direction, hoping to outrun the Yohlen soldier's that'd run after him. Rest of his lore begins in book 1 (Also I picture him sounding and kind of just being like Johnny from Sing/Sing 2, so there's that) © 2026 Alice Mayes |
