the mort chronicles part II

It was a fun and happy time at the Mort's home during these years. James and Liam were growing up wonderfully, they shared a strong bond, even if their very little brother Nazareth II was being left out most of the time, he was still too young to understand it really. No one knew, how strong the bond between James and Liam really and truly was, even at that time..


Then happened, what no one expected. Flora got pregnant for a forth time, and even the doctor's seemed positive, that it would be a little girl this time. Flora's sons were growing up fastly, there would be quite some difference in age between them and their little sister, except for Nazareth II, he'll be closer to his sister than to his brothers, since James and Liam always kept to themselves.



During a cold winter's night, 'Elizabeth' was finally born. The last child and only daughter of Flora and Nazareth Mort. Pampered and loved by everyone, it seemed that she would have a sheltered childhood.
James and Liam were allowed to share a room. Flora and Naz didn't think it would be awkward or wrong to let them enjoy their unique bond as brothers, even though they knew they were sleeping in the same bed, they never thought of it in a seriously romantic way. The truth was, the relationship between James and Liam was serious and romantic, even if not sexual yet, the tension and the sparks between them were inevitable.


Then happened something, that would change the lives of the Mort's forever. Nazareth and Flora were caught in a fire during a journey abroad, and couldn't be saved on time. They died in this fire, both at a too young age, leaving behind their four children to live on their own.

The police came by to tell them the terrible news. James and Liam were still teenagers, Nazareth II was barely ten years old and little Elizabeth was two. At this point, no one really knew, if they would be able to make it through this hard time, to survive, and to stay together as a family, for they are all that's left to each other.

the mort chronicles part I

Flora and Nazareth Mort were a newly married couple who moved to Sunset Valley, to start a completely new life together. Earlier they've both been living in another town, but they've run away together, because of an old family feud that was impeding their love, needless to say them marrying each other. Flora's one of the descendants of the ancient Sylvan family, whose history tells the story of an old, beginningless feud against the Mort family. And now, that the line was crossed, they had to escape their old life, and they moved to an old, abandoned mansion in Sunset Valley.

Soon after, their first son was born. They named him 'James'. He was the mirror image of his father, but had the typical, faintly verdant skin of a Sylvan. With the birth of James, happy times were brought to this old house. A child's innocent spirit does miracles to even the darkest of places.
Shortly after, their second son 'Liam' was born. One could say, he was the exact opposite of his brother. He had the same green eyes and fair hair like Flora, but got his father's azure skintone. James dearly loved his little brother and tried to protect him from every possible danger, even though both of them were still so little.

Flora gave birth to her third child, only one year later. He was an exact replica of his father's, only his green eyes could tell he was Flora's son too. They named him 'Nazareth II'. Though, Flora was desperately wishing for a little girl, but it seemed like she wasn't meant to have her will at this.
