The Summoners: Machine Heart - Book Promotion/Teaser
Joseph Bozlinski for Ayden Cross
Ayden is a 17-18 year old Summoner. He suffers from PTSD and has severe trust issues to people he gets close with. He talks in an almost monotone voice. Deep, gritty, and dark. He gets angry easily but deep down he cares a lot.
The voice I always pictured in my head would have been something close to Bakugo from MHA.
"One night, Pat and I returned from a mission that Valerie had assigned us to. We found her dead on the floor, soaked in blood. Ana was standing over her lifeless body. Her spear dripping with blood.” - Ayden's voice saddening as he nears the end of his story to a small crowd of 'friends.'
“The last person we trusted betrayed us! She killed Valerie! That is why we don’t trust anyone anymore!” - Ayden is annoyed and yelling at his brother.
"It's what brothers do." - Ayden says kind-heartedly. Soft.
