How has a judgement in their past affected their lives today?:

Oh my gosh, you are so obsessed with rocks!
Arianah has long been fascinated with collecting rocks. If you asked her to tell you about all of her rocks, she could talk for hours! But her passion has a downside- some think it's not okay for her to be so into her collection.
Ari started collecting pretty stones since she was little, grabbing a smooth pebble or heart-shaped rock, not caring where it could have been. Since then, her collection has grown, and she now has over one hundred rocks. She then began bringing her rocks up to her friends.
"I like collecting rocks. I have a lot."
But others saw this as a weakness. After a while, someone said, "Why are you so obsessed with your rocks?"
This was just a curious question that was worded wrong. It escalated.
"Rockgirl!"
"Who do you love? Your crystals!"
Arianah sat down one night after a particularly harsh comment, staring at her rocks. A curl of bad emotions rose inside her chest. Then, she decided to shut up about her rocks. She is still taunted sometimes about her hobby, but because she no longer mentions them, the snarky comments have mostly subsided. She still talks about them, but only when nobody else is around to take her passion and make it bad.

How has a judgment in their past affected their lives today?:

Judgment is a damning thing Castor knows this better than most. Castor and his brother Pollux were inseparable as youth they played, learned, and trained together. Even though he was weaker and often grew weary fast Pollux stood by his side. They were lucky to grow up in a time of peace that allowed them such freedom. As they aged it was clear who would take the throne young Pollux was the strongest and most courageous. Most considered him a gift from the gods to rule and protect their land. Castor was more often forgotten and the doctors considered him lucky to have made it so far with his weakness. Despite his sickly state, he was considered quite brilliant a master strategist he often assisted his brother in political and economic decisions. Together they ran the kingdom well until war broke out. Pollux would find himself battling a more well-prepared kingdom from the north one that had been brewing for war much longer than they had thought. Castor helped where he could assisting the generals with their plans and traveling to villages to set up supply reserves he even assisted doctors and nurses in medical tents. One day a surprise attack to the west was reported it was on a small and rather insignificant village. All the generals said it would only cost more lives to defend it. That the village would likely surrender quickly and suffer little harm Pollux agreed unaware his brother was there assisting the people there. It was this judgment that would scar him as soon he would receive the news that the village had been destroyed in a show of force and his brother with it. It drove Pollux mad. He found himself at the alter demanding whatever gods had made him to bring his brother back. One agreed to reunite them for a price. Pollux agreed and castor's dead heart beat once again with life. In exchange, Pollux sacrificed what little sanity he had left. Pollux was destined to live a life without being able to recognize his own kin and castor was brought back to a world where his only family did remember him. A weakened scholar and mad king once brothers now strangers. Yet they were Gemini once more.

Based off of Castor and Pollux from Greek mythology

name: Asmodeus

How has a judgement in their past affected their lives today?:
Hatred, anger, and betrayal are things this Dinoken knew to well.

A burning hatred for those he once loved held Asmodeus in a tight grip. The burning fires around Asmodeus could not compare to the large, burning ball of hatred and anger that sat in the very depths of his soul.

Asmodeus stared at the empty ashen plain he was now forced to call home. As he walked dust clouds bellowed from beneath his feet, the only remnants of his once lively home in the Underworld.

How Asmodeus wished he could change the past, change every wrong he had done. If he had never destroyed some many maybe she would still be here. Maybe than his love would have stayed by his side, yet she chose to leave.

She had messed with the wrong person. No one knew revenge quite like Asmodeus did.


Asmodeus looked up in horror as he watched his land burn to ashes in front of him, his eyes wide. He had never expected for his Queen, his love, to destroy everything they had poured their hearts and souls into. She stood above him, a hatred so vivid in her eyes it filled his vision.

“What are you doing?!” Asmodeus cried out in anguish.

The Queen let out a screech without answering Asmodeus’s question and flung herself at him. The queen used her wing to throwing burning embers in his eye. Now it was Asmodeus’s turn to cry out, only this time it was pain filled. He felt her attack him again, but there wasn’t much he could do.

Asmodeus blacked out after that, not remembering much. Though the sight he woke up to was worse than the sight he saw before passing out. His Kingdom was a pile of ash. Had his judgement not been so clouded by love he would have seen this come.

Asmodeus promised he would get revenge, one day he would show them just who they decided to mess with.
