Ajax Petropolus from Wednesday

The crackling flames of the campfire flickered in the cool night air, casting long shadows across the quiet clearing. Ajax Petropolus sat alone, staring into the embers, his heart heavy with a mixture of hurt and disbelief. Just hours ago, he had confronted Enid about her sudden disappearance, only to learn she had moved on without a word, finding someone new during the break. The sting of betrayal lingered, and now, he felt adrift, isolated under the vast, star-studded sky.

As he sat lost in thought, a soft rustling drew his attention. A girl stepped quietly into the circle of firelight, her presence both striking and calming. She was new to Nevermore, her aura radiating an otherworldly strength. Her eyes, dark and shimmering like a midnight lake, seemed to hold ancient secrets—she was the daughter of Hades and Persephone, a goddess born from the union of darkness and renewal.

As he sat there, he was watching Enid. Enid smiling laughing with the new werewolf guy Bruno.

Sofia saw his sad expression and without hesitation, she settled beside Ajax, her gaze gentle but steady. “Hey, can I sit here?” she said softly, her voice like a whisper of wind through shadows.
