I'm kinda excited to see where this goes. My question is, my character is supposed to rise up and steal all the other gems, right? What if that's his 'other side' aka, the insane part of him? He doesn't necessarily want to hurt anyone, in fact, he doesn't want to get close to anyone, but he loses to his insanity, so he's kinda forced to steal and/or take the gems? Does that make sense at all?//
(OK so basically what I had planned was that Darcie's descendant is sick of being forgotten so they rise up. For almost a million years, Darcie's descendants have been forgotten by her sisters' descendants. The story is even told without Darcie in it. After the original sisters died, their spirits were transferred inside the crystals.
At your character's mum (don't have the opportunity to check his name), Darcie finally couldn't take being forgotten, and decided that she would corrupt the next wearer of the crystal into making her sisters' and their descendants remember she exists.
Does that help?)
