Here's this little bit on Mark's first actual appearance in the story. Bear with it, I haven't really edited it yet:

'Wong's Antiques' is located in a fairly quiet but busy neighborhood. It's a two story shop with the first floor being the shop and the second floor being a house for Ron Fei. On that second floor is a specific bedroom that is often times not in use. However on this particular day, there was one person inside.



Within that room was a flame headed sixteen year old named Mark resting in bed. As the Guardian of Earth, Mark spends his time in the dark of night patrolling the city of New Arcadia and answering against any threats he can sense within the world. Once he is done, Mark spends the rest of his night sleeping to recharge his energy.



In one short second, after a single snort from his mouth, the door to the room barged open, and Layla jumped right into Mark's bed. Layla slammed right onto Mark, causing the whole entire bed to shake upon her impact. “Wake up Markie!” Layla squealed and snuggled her brother.



Mark let out another snort, and with a whimper hesitantly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was his sister's face smiling right at him. Mark kept his tired stare on Layla as if to ward her away and Layla kept her bright smile on Mark as if to transfer her energy into him. Mark eventually gave up staring and turned his face away from Layla to go back to sleep.

Layla's smile turned into a frown. She climbed over Mark just to be greeted with a loud snore from the boy. She growled, regained her composure, and decided to change her strategy to waking Mark up. She made her way up towards his head and held it. With a gentle touch she rubbed Mark's cheeks and stroked his face. She leaned towards his ear and tickled his neck. Getting no reaction from the tickle, Layla breathed in and released a cool and soft air into Mark's ears.



Mark, trying his hardest to sleep despite the disturbance from his sister, sprang right up after the air touched his ears. “You make it so hard to sleep.” He whined and rubbed his eyes.



“That's what you get for ignoring me.” Layla joked an gave Mark a big hug. “Besides if I didn't wake you up, you would've missed out on all the fun we were going to have.”
