The second trial and she was tired and sore from riding. But there was not time for her to wallow in such, she had duties to perform around the camp, to make sure that Lord Venora was comfortable and fed and when he was settled, she...

So, there were these guards and they didn't speak. But she was going to train with them and, thankfully, Lord Venora's mentor Damien Noth was there too. He wasn't going to help her train, as such, but he was happy to help her in...

Zvezdana had been having a lovely afternoon. She had been having tea with two cousins that had proved fruitful. At least, on the information front. Theodore “Baby Bear” Venora had let it slip that Alistair, her ‘beloved’ older...

If you do not want to feel what you feel, then what you feel is not love. You are mine. You can only choose to accept or refuse to acknowledge that my love for you exists, just as it does for Vanessa, Marcus, Vaughn, Ava…

OOC: Permission acquired from Basilisk a few weeks ago to have Damien teach Alistair Abrogation. Furthermore, I discussed Abrogation thoroughly with Maltruism - its creator - before writing this thread, to ensure that I did not get it incorrectly.

Very Early Breaks of the Morning
It was dark and she was feeling something that she very rarely felt, in truth. Faith was...

The sun had only recently sunk below the horizon, and already it seemed Duncan's night was over. He walked with a brisk and frustrated step, blood from the gash above his eye wiped away roughly when it began to obscure his vision too...

OOC: Permission acquired from Plague to use Ellasin in a solo, since I'm in her faction. (Hell, I'm the only one in her faction. ;_;)

Alistair, the woman called from behind him. He turned to look, but before he could, her arms were wrapped firmly around the upper portion of...

The Middle Of The Night Even slaves were allowed to sleep, eventually, in this place and Faith had needed to wait. She knew that the thing that she had heard was potentially important to Master, and she knew that he wanted her to tell...

14th of Saun, 716 - Evening

Sabaissant. Venoran land. Such vile nobility pursuant to power, a power which dons the guise of social intrigue. Truly, a system created to corrupt, to share fairly that which the men of this world desire. The trek was made with Y’gel Garehart, Vera’s mentor from the...

12th of Saun, Arc 716

The face of the mountain rots. The sky wails with anger brought by our perceived hubris; from the clouds, tears descend to the ground. The village below is set ablaze by the Nightstalkers; all of the children would be as Phatomay, great Necromantress of the past, stolen away...

OOC: AGHHHHH IT'S A FREAKING JOB THREAD KILL ME

I'm bleeding! the man screamed. Oh god, there's so much, he whimpered. The woman who brought him here began to pray to the Immortals beside him, as Alistair and Damien operated as quickly as they could. He wrapped bandages...

Incisions into the ribs of the victim. Strangely small, like throwing knives, yet none to be found. Based on the folding of the rended skin, they were likely extracted from the dead body. Still somewhat warm, so the death was recent - at least within the past twenty four...

18th of Saun, Arc 716

There is little more I can teach you, said Father Damien. You have become an exceptional Necromancer under my tutelage, and quite honestly your progression has been phenomenal. You were hardly even a novice when I first met you - barely capable of casting corrosion. The...

14th of Saun

The Sky is lit with thunderous applause,
To each Venora fighting for their cause
Zvez for her love of Lord Burhan,
Fighting averse a King she cannot stand;
Andraska a writer, a Knight a steed,
All the city, Andaris he shall feed,
A justice that violence cannot quell,
He'll send...

Lazuli had been keeping her eye on the grapevines for the majority of the warmer seasons. The book she had read in the library during Ymiden had explained that a grape's colour could often help to determine ripeness for picking, as too could...

Your father was known to many as the Lion of Warrick, Isabel smiled at Lazuli in the mirror as she ran a brush through the young woman's hair.
The Lion's Lamb, Lazuli mouthed, eyes fixed on the words printed in black ink upon the rough...

3rd of Ashan, 716

The last two days had been eventful at the little Warrick farmstead outside of the village. Whether or not the events would prove to be better or worse for her standing with the Warrick family, time would only tell. Until then, Zvezdana withheld her judgment of the Baroness. Good...

Time was an endless, relentless march of slow seconds. Like the ants that came in under the window, down the wall and across the room before they vanished beneath a gap in the skirting, the passage of Trials was linier, constant and...

It was a hot and difficult day. He could not fully describe to an individual just how stressful the past few days had been, with his family preparing to betray the King and his responsibilities as aspiring Duke rising dramatically in their volume. Furthermore, his...

My Beloved Grayson,

It has come to my attention that you have found yourself ill. As your dearest friend and compatriot for the success of Rynmere, this news rattles my bones as the wind rattles leaves. I am despondent, lost in my own mind - remembering again the days where...

Celebrations dwindling, ELyna returned to the Salty Grape at twilight. As it had been in Ashan the tavern was filled to the creaking wooden rafters with patrons. However, with the sun’s long cloaked by night, the mood was undeniably...

Alistair, the Necromancer called to him. The student looked up from his table where he had been writing a great deal about Subject A, William Grayson - everything there was to know about his behavior, his movements, the ease of control. The man who he spoke to was of...

The book was non-fiction, like most of the books in her collection, Lazuli seldom had time for fairy tales, and perhaps this was why she had convinced herself of the fact that exciting things didn't happen to normal people. She was plain,...

28th of Ymiden, Arc 716

Only the Lord knows as to why you're so dull and broody, Alistair, the Lich said. Excuse me? Alistair replied, squinting his eyes in a way that implied obvious offense, if feigned. Don't you perhaps believe you're of exceptional broodiness, is all I'm asking? You...
