She was scared and timid when she first arrived at the Gray Scale bunker. Giving a shy, friendly smile to everyone that greeted and welcomed her that first day in the door. Her own daughter, Serena was here. So after all the great stories she had been told about such a place from her, well, she just had to come and check it out for herself. Now, she wasn't so sure that she wished to be here. Even though there wasn't a lot of them here, it was still too crowded for her liking. She preferred quiet, secluded places instead.
"Mom!" Serena gave a heartfelt welcome to her as she saw her enter the main door and through to the main room.
Ember gave a small smile as they hugged. She was new to this whole having a soul thing,  and she wasn't too sure on how she was liking all of the feelings and emotions that came with it. She half wished she could shut it all off somehow some days.
She met everyone that first day, Balthazar, and archangel of the lord as he liked to call himself, made it very clear never to mention the ship titanic ever in his presence.
'Duly noted,' she had thought to herself as he spoke of this.
The young Nephilum, Wings as they called her, chirped happily as she showed her around. Ember liked her, she had a lot of spunk to her.
Then were the hunters, Jaylissa and Nilsa. They seemed to have almost a sister like bond between the two of them. She wondered if she would ever have anything like that in her life, even though she didn't feel she really deserved it most days.
Then, there was the Empty. He seemed as an elemental cosmic being, to he terrified of at first glance. The shadowy figure hovering about. But, after some time seeing his interactions with the young Wings, she realized just how kind and gentle of a creature he actually was. He was an adopted dad to the Nephilum. So they were always closely chatting about everything and anything.
Then, there was Sky. She was of the Faye folk and she was apparently meant to be the queen of them very soon, but this was to found out some time later. She got an air of mystery off of Sky. Her regal ways as she went about the bunker made Ember curious about her. She never dreamt they would ever become close when she first got there. But, over time, she would soon learn just how important some of these new people she met would change her.
