Eternal Curse: Battleground 7.1 (wip)

Mira and I carefully and quietly snuck out of our private quarters and then out the hotel’s side entrance, as we headed to the poorest and most dangerous part of the city, so we could find the shanties. There we gave an old man a gold coin and a piece of plant based writing material, with a strange symbol on it that we’d been instructed to draw out. The symbol appeared to be the shape of the letter ‘U’ overlapped by three rings. Two parallel horizontal rings intersected at a one-third perpendicular across a longer vertical ring, caused all three together to resemble the appearance of a cross. We were told to give the coin to the first elderly man we saw and to show him the image so that, then, we would be lead to the secret caves.

How does this character feel about his/her book peers?

Subject EC:GA 4-Mira:

…is still getting used to Leo, unsure of what it is he actually does.

…adores Abraham and clings to him as the father she’s never had.

…feels sorry for Giovanni and realizes that in order to help him, she needs to stop.

…is terrified of Bletsian, if he actually exists. She’s not fully convinced that he isn’t some story Giovanni tells just to scare her.
