70th of Ashan, 716
Back and forth. Side to side. The straw of the broom swished as she busied herself on the front steps. It was late midmorning, just before the quaint little toy shop opened for the day. Caprice, the Qi'ora owner, was inside tidying the shelves and preparing the workshop in the...
“Pick up the slack boys and girls, full speed ahead!” the captain shouted over the strong blowing winds and the crew began to assemble. Lorena gripped the loose rope between her gloved fingers and ran it through until it was finally...
Aeodan? He heard the voice through the stacks of papers and books, and his full-lipped face squirreled around the stack to look at Neville, the researcher he was assigned to. Neville was a squat man with mutton chops and a red face, but...
Too and throw the boat rocked steadily with the waves as the crew boarded the endless supply line of cargo. Oathryn had wasted no time putting Vakhanor to work and introduced him the first mate, a man named Felt. Felt was a tall, intimidating man with rugged features and an aura of...
Leaving home every morning had felt natural to the young boy, he would get up, go out the door and give his mother a kiss on the cheek while she was still in bed and say Sleep too much and you'll get fat! with a wide cheeky grin that said 'It's your lucky day! I'm here to wake you...

Andaris, Day 7 of Cylus Arc 717
Vhalar had passed, and Zida. The atmosphere on streets of Andaris was gloomy and dark in the twilight of Culys 717, when the painter Yrmellyn Cole found her way to the shop Potions...
It had been two trials since the very emotionally intense and awkward dinner at Malcolm’s new estate. There had been more people than she was generally comfortable with, many of them nobles she didn’t know, and she and Elyna had spent the...

When he was a boy and all the world was new, Malcolm had played by the sea. He had always respected the power of the ocean, taken by its crashing roars and untamed beauty. Toes lost in the sand and with the sun on his back, time had made him...

They hadn’t intended for it to be another late night, so they’d retired to bed as soon as Malcolm had finished making his preparations for the journey. They hadn’t had much sleep either, despite the fact that the Warden would...

96th Ashan, 717
following what happened here
A few moments ago, Celeste had been on the sofa in the living room of the family wing, held in Xander's arms and kissing him without thought or concern. His whispered apology had been met with a shake...
Even with the suns in the sky, it was a cold grey day. Crisp air burnt the ends of her fingers and the frayed woollen gloves. Snow dusted the edges of the log and the Skyrider found herself inching towards flickering flames. Between her...

717th Arc
The experiences of an Immortal shapes their morals, their emotions, their very being . Their capacity for memory is incontestable; for most, retrospection of times before the Great Shattering is just as easy as remembering...
The last of their guests had drifted out and Elyna was grateful that when the new dawn crept over the horizon, she would not be summoned to work. A rare day off with Malcolm beckoned. She hoped at least. Certain the man wasn’t yet...
The summons had come to the infirmary from the Krome estate. There hadn’t been much information in the message itself, just that there had been some type of serious burns acquired, possibly a fever and underlying illness. They had asked...
Another grey day. So Elyna had chosen to wear a dress of dark blue. Brighter than the surrounding world without being garish. She pulled on a warm cloak and kept the hood up, to keep off the chill air. Elsie was similarly dressed in warm...
First light and the crow of a distant cockerel saw Malcolm stir, and half asleep, reach for his lover beneath the wolfskin blankets. His hand found her side, and he traced the shape of her belly to its peak before moving closer to the woman....
Since she’d been held at knife-point, and dragged away from her lover, Elyna hadn’t been sleeping. A couple of breaks perhaps, before being woken by Elsie. Or the fitful rest of someone sleeping on a cold bed beneath canvas. Even returning...
Contrary to most other citizens of Rynmere Lord Tristan Venora loved Cylus. He found the constant darkness and the cold absolutely fascinating, and he often went for long walks. Everything looked different in that strange, ever-present kind of twilight, and people acted...

Odessa sat, silent and stiff, watching the reflection her handmaiden, Matilda, button up her dress. Both the women were tense, well aware of what the mornings happenings suggested; another day lacking the onset of her monthly...

On a black horse he rode through the iron gates, towing behind him a woman in chains. The sun and moon fought overhead, its distant cousins watching like stars. In the sun a platinum blonde and by night a wash of silver. She walked on...
Light beamed over the horizon, and with the waking dawn Vakhanor stirred from a deep sleep. Hazed in his awakening Vakhanor's mind registered the familiar warmth of a woman laying next to him Morning, he muttered, instinctively...
Violet had taken her parting with Malcolm roughly. Though she knew her father would see it as dramatic, she had spent the first trial alone at home, refusing to go to her lecture and feigning illness for her daily training schedule. Though...
Speaking in Rakahi
Speaking in Common 2nd of Ashan, 717
midnight
It was the coldest trial that Hart had ever experienced, he was sure of it, and try as he might he couldn't remember why he was outside at all. He was certain there was a reason, just as he was certain he was drunk, but he couldn't...
The journey had been easy and he had been glad to have not been travelling alone for once. She was much better company than his parents had ever been and when travelling alone he would either be sleeping or plotting and planning the...
The dawn of the first day settled on the horizon as the morbid silence of Ymiden welcomed the new day. Lorena had coaxed Vaughn into staying with her while they were in Warrick, she wanted to be there for him when dealing with family...
