Ajax

Two outcasts. One cursed by stone, one born of truth. They meet where the Veil thins, and nothing stays hidden. Nevermore is a sanctuary for the strange: seers, sirens, gorgons, witches. Secrets hum in the walls, and the school itself watches. Peyton arrives as “Ghost Eyes,” the girl who sees too much. Ajax is the gorgon boy who tries not to be seen at all. Ajax Petropolus: sweet, anxious, loyal to a fault. A gorgon who fears hurting the people he cares about. He hides behind humor, hoodies, and headphones, but he feels everything deeply. He’s drawn to Peyton because she looks at him like he’s not dangerous — just honest. Peyton, PAY‑ton VAYL‑KAR‑in — “The Unwritten Truth.” The Veil‑Born hybrid of all four Truth‑Seeër lines. Quiet, sharp, fate‑touched. She sees lies as smoke, fate as threads, and secrets as knots. She breaks compulsion with a word, crosses realms without portals, and carries a truth‑forged blade that cuts destiny itself.
