It was here that she had stood, she recalled, when she took off her shoes. Just over there, when she spoke to Malcolm Krome. In this park, a lifetime later, she and Padraig had walked together and Famula had blessed...

It'd been so long. Nearly half of the arc, in fact, since he'd first seen the woman who's name he still did not know. She still came to him in his dreams and, occasionally, he'd see things that brought her face to light once more....

Estranged might be the closest word to describe Xander's relationship with his sister, although it was not quite right. He cared greatly for her, he just had not seen her in a long time or been able to show it back then. In truth...

The Tenth Day of Saun
Seven Hundred and Seventeenth Arc

We carry not that which weighs us down the most at any given trill. We hide from it, shouldering the burden on others. The poor blame the rich for their loud stomachs. The rich blame the poor for their streets smelling of shit and...

One of the things Ashira had been considering was how to maximize the small amount of space she had in the city. Ideally she'd have about an acre or more to grow plants on. Within Andaris walls, this was basically an impossibility unless you were obscenely wealthy. With Ashira wasn't....

The house was bigger, much bigger and much more busy than his parents home he'd run. The servants were much more abundant and there was much more to keep in order. Luckily there were no events until his wedding and for that he was...

Another training day. Up! The Volareon leaped into the air and took flight at Nir'weis command, beating its wings and forcing him to dig his heels into the grass to remain upright. Poppy Verath, the Volareon expert, stood behind him...

Zi'da 7th, 716

Ivy walked with a sense of caution as she looked about herself. She'd wandered outside the safety of the city and into the nearby wilderness. An idea that could be dangerous for the woman who'd progressively grown more and more useless. As a child she was born with a wild spirit, a...

Vuhl'mathi took a seat next to her, coincidentally sitting upon the fold of those furs, trapping her body against his. His arm came up around her side, drawing her nearer. What does he intend? Her mind instantly spat threats, and she...
