~Gonay~

My name is Gonay Eraniin, and I am a male descendent of Gonny Eraniin, the brave dwarf who dared to confront the Children Heroes to determine if they were the real deal.

I am a staggering four feet and two inches tall, with black hair quills and fur armor made from the fur of wild mammoths. This fur armor has been passed down through the family for generations, as mammoths went extinct over one hundred years ago.

I have pink eyes and am a celebrity due to my lineage. I am also an excellent actor and a thief. My brother, Eaa Eraniin, could not be any more different from me. He is a year younger than I am, which makes him four years old, a young adult in dwarf terms. He is helpful and quick on his feet.

He has gotten me out of several scrapes before and I am indebted to him. He is an inch taller than me and has blue hair. He wears Dwarvish armor that covers all his skin and he has magenta eyes. He is a famed healer and warrior.

Our village has never been attacked in our lifetime, but Eaa has trained every day for years, and he has even gone off to hunt cyagenians with the famed cyagen hunter, Vutical Pounts, in the North. Eaa is an incredible warrior and I find him slightly terrifying in battle practice. I plan to recruit him for my latest heist idea. I want to steal the crown jewels of the alterna queen, Queen Later.

I have a plan to get the jewels too. I just need to convince Eaa to join me first.

“Brother Eaa, I’ve been thinking a lot lately.” I say to my brother as we sit inside of our dark thatch house.

All the houses in our village have dark interiors so that the dwarves’ horribly cracked skin is not further damaged while they sleep. Eaa and I are both dwarf-emotio mixes rather than pure dwarves like the other dwarves in our village. Our village is made up of ervers, saniin and dwarves.

Our village sits in the grasslands of Nearth and we are very safe here. All Nearth is safe now, thanks to the continued efforts of Gole of Everburning Rage and Vutical Pounts the cyagen hunter.

“That seems to be a dangerous thing for you.” Eaa remarks warily and I decide to flat out tell him my idea.

“Brother, I want to steal Queen Later’s crown of jewels. I’ve been planning for weeks and I’m going to explode if I don’t do it.”

“You’re not going to explode. You’re going to start a war if you steal those jewels. Aren’t you satisfied with all of the gold you’ve stolen over the years?” Eaa sighs and I smile brightly,

“No, brother, no! I need those jewels. This is the last thing I will ever steal, I swear. I’ll be satisfied once I have those jewels.”

“That’s what you said about stealing the necklace from that pretty emotio who travelled through our village.”

I sigh dreamily. That necklace was beautiful.

“I traded it to buy the most recent map of Nearth available from a travelling merchant.” I reply and Eaa shakes his head.

“You’re really set on this idea, aren’t you?” He asks and I smile at him but say nothing.

“Fine. I will help you. Although if you weren’t so charismatic, someone would have cut off your hands a long time ago to stop you from stealing.”  Eaa sighs and my smile brightens.

“Great! I need a book about the Children Heroes’ travels.”

“In which case, Toau City would be our destination. There’s an expert book maker there who got one of the last interviews with the famed Trouse Rite before he died.” Eaa says and I nod slowly,

“That sounds perfect.”
