1st Ymiden, 703

Nightshade hummed to herself quietly skipping along. She had a bag of small candies and was chewing on one. They were the left overs of her yearly birthday gift. She only got one bag of sweets every year so she'd learned to savor them and make them last. They would usually last...

Nightshade landed outside The Gardener's Grace. She sighed remembering the Carowa fight that she'd gone through with Alex. She had to admit she still felt kinda guilty considering it was her fault. If she didn't drag Alex out there then she'd never of had to deal with the Carowa....

Vhalar 56th, 716

Nightshade came into The Gardener's Grace slightly out of breath. As luck would have it the reason she was here wasn't so much for herself as much as it was for another person. One of her coworkers to be exact. Some things happened involving one of the largest (literally) menaces...

94 Hot Season 716

It was only after F'mos had settled into Etzos that he allowed himself to pursue the other options for a more successful life, than the Nauta Geey which deserted Sirothelle. During his inquiries of what the city had to offer, there was one thing he could not get out of his mind...

97 Hot Season 716

While it might have been quite the annoying request from the customers, F'mos did not seem adverse to what they wanted. When he had found out about the Razorfins which were in Etzori waters and their value to someone of his vocation, he made it his priority to catch some of his...

121 Hot Season 716

F'mos could not remember the details of what had occurred during his previous visit to the Curly Hare but he got the message the crew was going to act, with him included among their number. He was to meet at some already decided spot, one he was unfamiliar with in the...

85 Hot Season 716

While there was still a break or two left, the Gem Festival for the trial had ended for F'mos. The Aukari had just used up most of his earnings from the previous season that he couldn't do anything more. At least anything obvious to him, being a newcomer to Etzos. Not allowing...

85 Hot Season 716

It had been a long wait. Far too long for F'mos whose troubles as a youth came from his need for instant gratification against those who had wronged him. Of course he had expected the works on the boar tusk he retained for a trophy to take time, especially when the artisan...

Alex sat down, her mind reeling with the possibilities. I could make myself look like anyone?

It had all started a few trials ago when, as an off handed remark to Rita, her teacher, Alex had mentioned how much she needed Disguise lessons. The woman had...

Send-off. It was hush-hush, they were Scouts. Ten men and women, each told to grab the supplies prepared for them and head out south. Mal had just left the briefing, in the form of a boy with cropped brown hair, youth and vigor upon his face though his step spoke of a more serious...

The Etzori Falcon. A bird of some kind. He’d never actually laid eyes upon the thing when he bought it, but he assumed Mark Joselyn’s bird was the same breed. The first step of Dedication was always simple, driving in the Ether took only a moment. Meditation was hard, however....

Saun 2nd

Scoping out the sights of Etzos, the vagrant-looking boy covered in dirt from head to toe dressed in a raggedy rag of a cloak stepped down some stairs he’d found. People seemed to come and go, into this subterranean place where man lived like a rat. Curious, and searching for a good place...

Vhalar 53rd, 716

Nightshade pulled herself through the door with a shaky breath. The Gardener's Grace, honestly it was a place she had hoped to never visit. If she came here it meant she wasn't in very good shape. Honestly she was in the kind of situation she really should have gone to a doctor...

Alex jolted awake as her face slipped down the counter, tipping her off her stool. Her feet hit the ground and she landed in a crouch, awake despite how deeply asleep she had been. She looked around the chaotic shop, shaking loose the last cobwebs of rest....

Vhalar 9th

The Infirmary was crowded. There were hundreds of wounded, if not thousands that sought assistance. Worse still, the Etzori prepared for war with Rhakros. They saw it as an opportunity to attack, many soldiers preparing for another war instead of fighting this one on the bloody streets....

“Mal,” a voice spoke, calling to the slumbering man-in-Hyx-form. “Wake up, Mal,” he said. Eyelids quivering, he slowly opened them, before worry set in, and they shot open like lanterns. His head rose against a patting hand.

At first, a quiet but rumbled growl left his body, but...

“Last thing we need is a ninny crying about some squalor in the jungles ahead,” Mark Joselyn announced, boots slamming in the mud with wet plops as she strode from the makeshift shelter. She squatted down at the head of the circle, raven-black hair and a sable cloak curtailing her...

Arc 716, 52nd of Vhalar

Nightshade has a less than pleasant look on her face, a familiar face to those who worked with her on exploits she was sent on as a mapping scout. If there was one thing people tended not to like it was Avriel, or half Avriel like herself. This generalization extended to a...

Arc 716, 2nd of Vhalar

Nightshade had spent most of her time since moving around Etzos learning the area and practicing how to draw. She was competent with a sword but she wasn’t all that good with her drawing abilities, which made mapping more difficult than it already was. She was finally...

A hammering on the door shattered Alex's peaceful rest, and she jerked herself upright. Her cheek peeled off the table, dried saliva in a pool around her mouth. Next to her the Hyx slumbered, blissfully unaware of the pounding.

It took her a moment to place...

Vhalar 8th

The vagrants huddled together, wall-to-wall, their visage wreathed in fear, sadness, and pain. With great malaise upon his tired, sunken features, the large Hyx protected them. He was a massive fox-like creature ten feet in length that stood taller than most men, standing sentinel at...

The Hyx

Vhalar 6th, 716

The obtrusiveness was inconclusive, as Mal’s sensitive black vulpine nose observed some fraying to the wilted flora, those emerald-green leaves tainted with brown splotches from the decay brought on by the beginning of the...

Caster. That was what the Etzori called him. Mal had been captured weeks ago, presented with an ultimatum - join the Etzori, or be presented with ‘consequences’ that they seemed to insist were quite dire. Captured and imprisoned by the military forces of the region, the Becomer had...

104 Rebirth Season 716

It may have been a few trials already but his the monstrous boar remained one remarkable prize. With all the work he had put into it, the Aukari cook was convinced it would turn out to be a remarkable dish once he was through with it. Of course, he had needed some help from...
