The woman before him lunged, sword slicing the air between them when he leaped back, throwing his own weapon upwards to meet the downward cut. Steel hissed and Andráska immediately pushed...

The time for him to leave had finally come. He had returned to Andaris to tie up a few loose ends – he never left a job unfinished – but it was slowly becoming too dangerous for him to stay. Nobody had recognized him yet, nobody had...

8th Saun, 716
It was late in the afternoon. The markets had closed, twilight was pending, and the twin suns casted their last golden rays over the rooftops of Andaris. The air had cooled somewhat, and large parts of the city relaxed in the shade.

Dressed in a breezy, cream-colored, silken...

The screams of pain and the sound of wails, the march of hasty footsteps and alarmed yells, and the unscented disinfectants mingling with the thin smell of clove oil was how one could find the overrun Midtown hospital. The wounded had came in great masses, for many...

Yana sized up her new subordinates with a pensive look on her face. This was a critical moment, the critical moment. The trial, that inevitable one. That one she’d preferred that would never come. Indeed; it...

“The Queen is dead.”

Abby continued to write, not bothering to glance up from her desk as the red-faced reporter paced around her office. “You're very observant.”

Vaughn waited nervously at the door to Malcolm and Elyna's house. His father had invited him over when he had seen the man last, and had also invited him once even before they had left on their mission to Endor... and still Vaughn felt entirely out of place. There was a...

Rey'na sat up against the wall of her friends house, her glowing blue eyes lit up with a smile. As much as she disliked being a mercenary, it was fun when she spent it with Lilith. When they weren't throwing daggers, beating people or...

Rei had never slept so well in her life. She was accustomed to the cold emptiness of the bed, the stark blank space next to her throughout the nights. Though Wendell slept on his belly, sprawled out and taking up most of the room, Rei had...

I can still see him in my dreams. Strange how some memories you never want to fade lose their luster but the horror always remains in stark clarity. I've killed Godryn a thousand times since that day, always with the shovel. I used to think the dreams...

Ymiden 11, Arc 717

From a dream Vakhanor awoke, encased in fire. In a dream the light had came to him and shown him the faces of the dead that had haunted him for the past fifteen arcs. Just as he was born in this city, he was sure to die in it just like his mother had. 'Give in Vakhanor,' the...

I’ve lost my precious Pebbles in the fighting. She’ll be scared somewhere. I know she’s alive because I’d know if she was dead and you’ll have to take my word for it. She’ll be...

Imogen liked the bar. She liked the warmth of the ale, the welcoming atmosphere, the comfort in the flavour of frothy beer. Often, she frequented the Old Inn for her pleasure, for the delight of fine wine and rich and savoury rum. That didn't do for her today, however.

Was this even technically mid-winter? Elyna peered out at the crowd of people. It was an elaborate party and everyone seemed to be dressed in their finest. Her Mother had forced her into a satin gown in emerald green. The newly...

The notice was pinned up on a bounty board and Duncan had seen it more than once that trial. It was like it was following him, almost. It was a sign looking for mercenaries, bodyguards and...

Some time was needed to evaluate the information given. Hopefully, Verity's family could stand to wait just a few trials longer until Eir was able to successfully pin-point the location. It felt like a trap, as...

When I was much younger, Edward insisted I learned to fish. He told me it was essential to my development as a merchant. I can remember him now, clear as any sun, laughing as my ten year old self frustratedly dragged my lure through the water....

Bright. In fact...a little too bright for Ctankep's eyes to gaze at the magnificent sun hovering among the blue sky above the city. From the window of his house, he could see people walking about, minding their own business. Some talk among themselves, some cuddle or kiss, and others simply walk...

Edalene wandered through the stacks, her eyes resting gently on each title, her fingers trailing along through the dusty stacks. It had been seasons since some of these books had been touched, arcs, perhaps, for others. The musty smell in...
