She cursed Finn. She cursed ever knowing him. She cursed the first time she'd met him, the first time he'd ever made her smile, the first good word she'd put in for him and, most of all, that she'd ever breathed aloud to the world the...

We can't get out! WE CAN'T FUCKING GET OUT! HOW THE F-

Silvester knew talking the boy down wasn't an option. The panic in his eyes had gone beyond anything mere language could assuage. As the flames had grew larger, the smoke...

10 Ymiden 719 | Ulric | Outside Darington

The Beneath. A world mirroring Idalos but painted in shades of grey. Ulric had been born into it when a orange hot blade was plunged into his heart. One last vibrant color to steal them all. Ulric had learned, through difficult work, that this world could...

The dark haired man waited until well after the man known as Ryder and his daughter left the house. He smiled, it was finally time to make himself known. Slipping out of the shop where he'd been browsing goods, cutlery mostly. While the...

They were celebrating already, and he didn't like it.

It was carousing and partying and cheering like the war was over, but he could taste it in the air. The way they smiled and laughed more. Shared the same boasts and twittered...

The sword sat against the shack wall and the bandit who had taken it sat at the other side of the shack by a fire he'd started to warm his hands. The echo lurked against the wall of the shack looking at the sword. It was his sword, the echo could tell that much. He remembered the way it felt in his...

After Vorund had had his say, Kasoria, Finn and Vorund's brute (Billy, how fitting), left The Man’s office in silence. Billy led the pack, marching forward with strong strides followed by the light pattering of the boy’s feet who had to take twice the number of...

53rd Trial of Ashan

Iashiri’s eyes barely stayed open as she walked inside the Gardener’s Grace, her mind tired from her intense scheming from the night before. The Professor gave her a simple nod as she walked in, but she payed him no mind. She was only focusing on staying awake. Her desk was...

This place sucks.

Maxine's head thumped against the window. She drew her knees up to her chest where she sat upon the wide window sill. Shrill giggles echoed from several rooms over, a sound distant to her ears as she stared at the gloomy urban landscape below. Raindrops dribbled...

20th trial of Cylus, arc 719

So many eyes....ears....TOO many.
Since when?....

Etzos had always been watchful, it was known; but this was of a different sort. This was not the city guard spying out her course through the Commercial Ring. These were...

15th of Ashan, 719AV

A shiver raced up Felicia's spine as the chill of evening began to wash away the little warmth the day had brought with it. It was nearing twilight, and the shadows danced and played among the lanterns and torches that were now beginning to flare to life all around her....

Neronin rarely felt his stomach protest its lack of sustenance, but he felt this trial. He had spent nearly four days without food, searching for the damnable hunters who had made him their sport. It was rarely an issue anymore. He...

It was the same door, in the same house, on the same street, yet nothing was like before. Knowledge was like that. It didn't just squat in your brain for when you needed it; it changed the world around you. It colored and distorted...
