New Subforums
So, one of the things that has changed in the new site is that the new PSF is visible to everyone. This provides us an opportunity and so, this morning I've created some subforums in there - for completed / approved threads....

Qit'ria sat atop her own building, the inn where she was temporarily staying in this blight upon Idalos. Of all the cities of Idalos, Qit'ria was sure this was by far the worst. The people here thought themselves so high and mighty over others, that any lesser...
With ignorance toward the bitter cold, Fridgar pressed on at Rey'na's side. How could he be a wet blank on an occasion like this? Him and Rey'na were finally getting to work together, a test of their compatibility? Uh oh. While he hadn't...
Zi'da, 88th, 716th Arc
Morning
Andaris Farms, Sintih's former home
/gallery/image.php?album_id=206&image_id=6076 espite the freezing cold of the last trials of Zi'da, Sintih had set out for his usual spot. When his parents had first left Idalos six arcs ago, he had spent time here every so many...
30th of Ashan, 718
The weather in the beginning of Ashan was forever a pain, not for the dancer because she loved the rain but her companions did not. Door had barely left the cover of the tent or blanket in the cart, Shoes constantly refused to move from covered areas, making it impossible to get...
Maxine! a panicked voice yelled with a hard, incessant knocking on her door. Maxine, open up! Please! The mage hunter groaned as the noise roused her from unpleasant dreams. One of her hands reached out, blindly fumbling about in search of the first thing that came to her...

Early Morning
In essence, continued from here .
An ominous foreboding had seized a small section of the city. There was a palpable knowing in the air that was difficult to articulate. Yet there it was, thick and choking like an invisible smog hanging over one large square in...
Small pants of breath left Aella as she thrust her fists forward in to the air, hoping to perfect her basic punches. She had learned the form well enough, at least she felt she had. Damon still seemed mostly unimpressed. But her progress was giving him...
So how has the girl been, the slave? Aella, was it?
Damon nodded gently to the man opposite him, both of them dressed formally for the occasion. It was rare that two friends like this could meet up without business getting in the way. Contracts were...
Cautiously, Aella walked through the house, gentle steps filling the hallway as the young girl made her way towards the downstairs. It was hard to sneak around the house they were in, loud echoes following every step. While she had spent some time...
When Rey'na struck down a member of the Mantis just a day prior she expected her life might come to a swift end, or all of the nice gifts she had been getting to soften her up would grind to a stop and be torn away from her. But it seemed her prediction...
Sister Maxine, a commanding voice echoed from behind the heavy wooden door to the woman's borrowed chambers. Sister Rebekah has requested your presence. Max rolled onto her back with eyes closed with a groan. Her right arm extended beyond her bed, fishing along the...
84th Vhalar
You look healthier than last time I saw you the woman said with a small smile. After her Spark removal, Rey'na had been given much better treatment than before. A comfier bed had been put in her cell, better food came more regularly and day in and out the people that brought her meals...
The young man had been there the first day Rey had been brought in, had seen the abuse she had been given, the torture she was put through. Mage or not, he had been concerned. Now she was finally free of the parasite inside her, one that he had seen...
The trial condemning Wendy Robinson to death for being an Abrogation mage had come and passed. Maxine, now a loyal sword to the Mantis in Rynmere, had played her part. She showed up. She testified against the woman she apprehended even though she knew, in a sense, the trial itself...
20th Vhalar, 718
Your girlfriend, there, is worried sick about you. Tell her it'll be alright, comfort her.
Many twisted things had happened in this house. Twisted to the poor souls she'd dragged in here, with short lives, taunts from Rey'na before she stuck a poison-coated blade deep into...

Fair is Foul, and Foul is Fair
28th of Cylus, Arc 718
It was perhaps already well in the afternoon when a knock shuddered through the door of her room. To be honest, it was rather difficult to tell with the constant darkness of Cylus.
Maxine had been a busy woman. A seedy merchant at the dock had been intensely menaced in his own place of business. A ship, The Storm Breaker , had gone down in the harbor after every present member of its crew had been savagely beaten. Her process was violent and...
64th Vhalar, 718
Hard, heavy breaths took in as much air as they could before breathing out, darkness covering Rey's eyes as she sat in the room, starving and thirsty.
It had been a long time, that much she knew. Her hands had been freed after the first day, her blindfold removed. Yet she wasn't...
There were three of them, three Knights clad in leather patiently waiting near the wrecked ship. One of them was talking to the shipwrights, while the other two were conversing among themselves, exchanging information. Two Knights carried...
Brett shoved Wendy, the apprehended Abrogation mage, roughly onto the floor of Rebekah's office. The stout, pale woman struck the ground on her hands and knees. The chains on her wrists rattled with the impact and making the fall just a bit more forceful with their...
The Henny Inn, Max looked up at the three story building from the street with Brett beside her. Both sported their grey cloaks, standing in the street as the foot traffic shoved past them like rocks in a stream. If Detective Vernon's intelligence could be trusted,...
Francis Higglebottom was dead. Maxine had stood before him where the Mantis had strapped him to a stake, dropped the torch upon the Absolution-soaked base, and listened to his shrieks are the white flames consumed him. Her stare never waved nor did her body cringe away...
The door swung open to reveal the stony face of a woman perhaps a decade older than Maxine. Her hair was pulled back into a braid somehow tighter than her disciplined expression. While the woman's green eyes carefully surveyed the exhausted,...
Small water drops hit the cold stone floor of the building, leaking in through the ceiling as the dark room echoed at each sound. Despite the two men talking, Rey'na could still hear it. Over and over, dripping to the floor, as it had been since she was dragged...

Continued from here .
Maxine flew up from the bed, one hand grasping the stranger by the back of the head while the other seized them by the throat and squeezed. Her wild, caramel eyes shot open wide to find Mina's panicked face staring back at her. Her...
