Introduction
In Velaria, there are 12 factions. Each faction is made up of 6 compounds, and each compound is made up of 3 assassins, 2 healers, and a scholar. They're tight-knit groups; living, working, eating, fighting, and often sleeping together. My name is Elizabeth Rhima, and I am the healer of Compound #3 of the Arcanian Faction. I'm the darkest-skinned(and haired, and eyed) of our group, and also the shortest. I have generous curves, and though I seek to heal, I am no enemy to death. The other members of my compound are as follows.
Our other healer is Emmett Dale; a young, pleasantly boring looking man with lightly tanned skin, freckles, grey-green eyes, brown hair, and glasses. He's the newest to our group, and he does his best, but doesn't quite fit in with our dynamic. Or at least, I don't think he does.
Next, there's Johan Sharp. He's one of our assassins, and a very handsome one at that. His name fits his features, as everything about him is sharp and angular. He has smooth brown skin and delectably dark hair and eyes, and as the tallest member of our compound he towers over me. He has also taken an oath of brotherhood to Matias Miral, our second assassin.
Matias is like Johan's second half. His opposite, but in a complementary way. Where Johan has dark chocolate eyes and hair, Matias has curly golden locks and sky-blue eyes. Where Johan is nothing but angles, Matias's edges are soft and inviting. Matias is also about a head shorter than Johan. Still tall, but less imposingly so. Johan and Matias are also a couple. Not exclusively so, but the closest anyone in our household is to exclusivity.
Our third assassin is Danielle. She is a force of nature. Strong, deadly, beautiful, and capable of anything. She has pale skin, deep green eyes, and silky black hair. She's the one who spends the most time away, off working or taking a rare night off to explore the town. She devotes herself to anything she does, but doesn't always remember to take breaks or care for herself well enough.
Finally, we have our scholar, Belladonna Virgil. Sometimes she goes by Bella, and other times she goes by Virgil. She is just a bit taller than me, and also just a bit lighter-skinned than me. Her eyes are a leafy green, and her hair is a beautifully wild mess of dark red-brown curls. She keeps to herself, commanding the basement of the compound, which we've turned into an expansive library. She helps us research missions, threats, and more. Unlike Emmett, who keeps to himself and doesn't fit in, Belladonna keeps to herself and fits in just fine. She knows to come mingle when she needs to.
Elizabeth:
It was a slow, but typical night at the compound. Danielle was off working on her current project, and Belladonna had holed herself down in the library after dinner. It was Emmett's turn to clean up, so it was just Johan, Matias, and I in the living room. I was feeling bored, so I gave Johan a meaningful glance and went up to my room. A few moments later, Johan and Matias were at my door. I let them in.
