Vhalar 7, Arc 716, Andaris, In the evening

Yrmellyn could hardly believe it, when she heard what had transpired in Rynmere and that her friend from the past, Zvezdana, was now called the fallen false queen. When had they...

(A spin-off of this thread .)

... His eyes scanned the room, searching intently for the man who'd made himself known to Alistair once before.

And there he was, in the distance, approaching some black haired individual. Alistair looked to Xander, and excused himself. I'll be back momentarily, he...

And that's when I said ' And what she says goes! ' He yelled with a slur, an uproar of laughter shook the tavern as he knocked back another shot of whiskey from where he stood, atop a table, one foot on the table and one on the chair...

With all his shopping done, Fridgar made his way back to the city gates. Slinging the bag over his front, he checked over all the ingredients once more - it looked like he'd remembered everything, but how could he be sure? He looked...

The Dungeons of Andaris were located near the Guard Post in Low-town. The building was far better fortified with stone and a slate roof, with some parapets to each side to furnish spots for guardsmen to take...

9th Zi'da, Andaris City
Wrapped in his red woolen cloak, Rafael ploughed his way through the snow and onto the courtyard. He’d drifted through the last few trials of Zi’da unsure whether awake or dreaming while his brow had settled into a constant...

Thwack!

He liked the sound it made.

Thwack!

It was a grim sort of toll.

Thwack!

The sound of a bright future... the sound of an inferno to come

THWACK!

His ax cut into the tree one last time and with a groaning protest the tree fell begrudgingly giving way to the wound in it's side...

4 Ymiden 713

Jachiel collected the small package containing the necklace that he'd been dispatched to the docks to fetch, and tucked it inside his coat to keep it dry. The rain didn't look as if it was letting up any time soon, so he turned and splashed his way towards the temporary shelter of the...

1st Zi'da 716

It was not, perhaps, the kind of accommodation that a noble woman of Warrick would have been used to. At least, the Judge had made as many provisions for her, as had been possible. Prisoners held in the cells were usually stripped of...

20th Cylus, 717
It had been cold and dark in the familiar room as they had arrived together the night before. The magical shoes which had been a gift from Mattieus had done what he'd said they would ~ they took them home. As soon as they'd arrived, Faith had breathed in and looked up at Padraig...

Zi'da, 10th, 716th Arc
Ye Olde Inn, Midtown, Andaris

Almost thirty trials ago, Sin had promised an Eidisi squire a drink and today was the day he would finally manage it. After they had met the first time, Sin had spotted her a few times around, sometimes on duty much like him, other times...

/gallery/image.php?album_id=2&image_id=5547 4th Cylus 717

Thank you so much for agreeing to escort me to this cave, Mercenary. spoke the enthused miner, what was his name again? David? It's no problem, and the name's Fri- he was cut off by the man's obnoxious tone of voice once more. I only just...

1st Trial of Cylus, 717th Arc
Andaris Farmlands

“Aren’t you cold?”

The wagon wheels reminded him of the ones they used at the mills along the river, though instead of churning up water between their wooden spokes, it threw snow back into the air from which it came. Like it was trying to return...

/gallery/image.php?album_id=2&image_id=5547 2nd Cylus 717

Are you serious!? 300 gold nels for a fucking bird!? Fridgar screeched, standing with his jaw dropped. Take it or leave it. Spoke the human behind the desk. Nah, fuck that. Keep the shitey bird. Fridgar snapped, leaving the caged eagle at...

/gallery/image.php?album_id=2&image_id=5547 1st Cylus 717

Why in Ilaren's name had he taken this job? Stand outside a door at the start of freaking Cylus of all seasons? He should have just hibernated like the last arc - though Eric hadn't approved and he doubted Rey'na would have either. He...

Alex was finally ready- her experiments were done. The poison had been purified and perfected over the last few trials, and she was ready to get out of the house. Fridgar hadn't...

Ashan 43, Arc 711

For a moment as he stood there, on the meadow and felt the light Ashan breeze against his skin the Mortalborn could not help but wonder if he had finally begun to lose his mind after nearly four-hundred arcs...

23rd Zi'da, 716

As she walked along, she realized how strange a concept it was to be walking with a wolf. People had tamed weirder animals, yes, but she hadn't ever thought about it in depth. Perhaps she'd need to help him become a puppy. That way, she could take him for walks and play fetch and...

Zi'da, 8th, 716th Arc
Frever residence, Midtown, Andaris

The last seven trials had been hard on Sintih. On the second trial of Zi'da Sin had spent his time alone, trying to understand why he felt so unhappy after having spent most of the trial with Faith and Padraig yestertrial. Padraig was there,...

103rd, Vhalar
Andaris
The Ithecal stepped down from the waggon, thanking the driver and making the rest of her payment before moving on into Andaris city. The people were recovering quite well after everything that had befallen the once great city. She understood that some injuries took a...

With the dim light of the lantern looming behind him, Fridgar pushed deeper into the cave with the minecart in hand. David was still behind him, as he had been for most of the journey. They travelled for a good 5 bits in silence, the...

62nd of Zi'da, Arc 716
Alex was carefully folding up her essentials, her life boiled down to a single suitcase. At last she was done- ready to return to Etzos. Etzos might not be the most forgiving place in...

Alex hopped off the horse well before the gate came into view. She was fed up with the beast- three times she had tried to ride it, and without fail each time the beast had decided...

George looked over the gathered crowd. His boots were sinking into sand that was covered in tiny ice crystals. The waves lapped gently at his heels and the water was cold. He kept his hands folded in front of him as he surveyed the...
