Alex leaned back against the post, her eyes flicking across the crowd gathered and milling around the Bounty Board. As the last time she was here, she was hoping to find someone. She tossed her hair back over her...

He opened the door and the three children flooded Ulric with their emotional energy. - The Dragon Rises Part 4

Ulric and Arthur had left the children in the ruin that was Gulltown so they could go and kill the parent-murdering bandits hiding...

Eyes of blue, and lips black with old blood, Hazel stared at the biqaj until he got the sense of being watched by something that might be a threat. Thus, he woke with a startle, still not used to seeing her there. His heart raced and she could almost feel the flow of his quickened...

72 Ymiden, 719

When Llyr had first arrived to the coast of Foster's Landing, past all of the crisis and urgency of finding his way in a new land that was beset by plague and immortal aggression, he'd wondered how he would make ends meet. It was a concern, however, that he could ignore for a...

⌘ Running....that's all she could hear was the sound of herself running, the pounding of her feet against the sickened ground. Accompanying her footsteps was the sound of something giving chase behind her. There was definitely more than one behind her.

'I'm going to talk to them.' Ulric said as his essence fused with the door and his hand began to slip through. - The Dragon Rises Part 3

Conveying your entire body through a doorway seemed like an easier task than it turned out to be. Ulric...

Ulric swung the stick in his soft fleshy hand slowly as he tried to get a feeling for the weight of it. Weight seemed to relative now that he was dead. He didn't really use his strength to lift things, he used his ectoplasm to move them. When he...

He looked at the alley around themselves once more, allowing his mind to slip back to when they had first come to Gulltown. The first time he and Arthur had sparred in this alley. - The Dragon Rises Part 1

finale to this here It's not that bad a deal. I think it'll be good to do.

You're not the one that has to do the killing. It'll be on my head when this whole thing blows over. If they report this, I lose out.

The same could have been said for what you did to your father.

This time I will remain in control regardless of your comfort. We need to see exactly what I can do while I'm in your body. Ulric tried to explain without making it sound as...

79 Ymiden 719 | Ulric | Etzos, Northwestern Civilian Housing
So much pain and suffering had come into Idalos in such a short span of time. At the beginning of the season many thought magic would be taken forever only to find it returned to them some thirty odd trials later. Yet that had meant...

Outer Perimeter - North West Etzos

Llyr hadn’t thought the northern lands would get this much rain so close to Saun. For whatever reason, the southerner had thought because the nearby forests hardly had any vines, and because there weren’t as many murky swamps, that rain simply was...

In life there was color. The sky was blue, the grass was green, and fire was a wonderful mixture that was pretty fairly summarized in the color orange. In death things were cast in shades of black and white both literally and metaphorically until...

Maude had taken her time preparing the bow and tuning the fiddle. The tavern keeper was starting to feel that it was enough. He was paying her for playing, not to sit there and make...

CHAPTER ONE

Maude Coaley played for the living and she played for the dead, but mostly for herself. These days she also played for the undead, as Etzos was full of ghosts.

It was a...

Paxton sipped at the weak mug of beer while he watched the laborers tie down the last of the logs. The portly man preferred the brandies and ports that had become available to him once he had set up shop in the commercial ring, but the...

68 Ymiden, Arc 719

The smell of smoke roused Llyr awake. He opened one eye, the other remained shut with sleep. At the edge of the narrow bed, Gigi faced away while she recovered her clothes. A cigarette dangled against her rosy lips. The Ryn woman glanced at him. He closed...

He didn't need light, for the sky was on fire.

People clapped and cheered and whistled.

The Outer Perimeter, free from the limitations that city walls enacted on a space, had developed haphazardly over the centuries. While the circular layout was still maintained for its cartographical aesthetics, no official oversight had ever...

67 Ymiden 719

When the letter arrived, I was walking down a corridor between some fine stone houses, nibbling at the damp end of a dying cigarette and watching Hazel run ahead. Wild how some couriers can just find you. How this one caught sight of me amid all the ghostly spirits of the dead and...

He grabbed a tray from the table beside him and looked at his face. What he saw horrified him. His left eye was entirely bloodshot and the cheek beneath it was a mixture of black, blue, and red. In the back of his mind he knew the bruising and swelling would go down in the trials to come but he...

His arm screamed in pain when he used it to push himself up and his leg screamed when he stood on it. He wasn't sure what was left of his face but it hurt too. He tried to open is left eye but saw only red so he closed it again and looked around wildly with his good eye for his sword. The beasts...

It showed him every time he'd unsheathed the blade and it showed him every time he had buried the blade in another. One vision in particular took prominence in his mind and it was that vision from which Ulric syphoned enough emotional energy to restore his ectoplasm and turn himself into something...
