Vole
- "Find the dragon. […] Bring it here. […] Or everyone you know will die."
- — Vole to Raven, The Dangerous Gift
Vole is a male human who was introduced in The Dangerous Gift. He is the older brother of Mole and currently resides by the abyss on Pantala.
Description
Vole has a skeletal figure. His eyes have a green shimmer and haunted feel to them. He speaks with a shivery, raspy voice.[1]
Personality
Not much is known about his personality in the present, but he appears to have no qualms against murder, as he is mentioned to have tossed people into the abyss. Due to this, none of the other humans in the village dare to approach him out of either fear or hatred, barring Raven and Mole who are keeping him alive. Nobody is allowed to speak of him. Vole is mentioned to have been watching the abyss for years, never letting his eyes wander from the pit, and is one of the few people who acknowledges that something needs to be done about it when it starts behaving strangely. It is implied that he used to be friendly and funny in the past.
Biography
The Lost Continent Prophecy
Vole appears in the epilogue, with Raven bringing him food. He asks her if she can hear the whispers and that it is growing. Vole then tasks Raven with bringing a dragon to the abyss, though he remains vague despite her asking for details. He tells her to bring the dragon to the pit to save the village, or everyone she knows will die.
In the prologue, it is mentioned that Vole's green eyes are a result of the abyss choosing to infect him as part of a human ceremony.
Later in the novel, Vole is seen kidnapping Dusky and falling with him into the abyss. Luna soon follows Vole and Dusky, and only finds the dragonet alive. It is unknown if Vole survived the fall and/or what happened to him after the othermind was destroyed by Luna at the end of the novel.
