Ymiden 70, Arc 717

Tristan's Office

Tristan was in a bit of a dilemma. The season before he had interviewed a Naerikk. Yndira had told him that she was a cannibal, and he had immediately started to turn her story into a play because Rynmere really needed a play about a beautiful woman killing...

Cylus 25, Arc 718

Tristan was sitting in his office. There were a lot of important documents lying on his desk (a rather nice desk made of dark wood whose legs looked like dragons), but he wasn’t looking at them. They were full of bad news. He couldn’t stand any more bad news. He’d already had...

Tristan had the feeling that his new subjects still didn’t like him very much. They viewed him as an intruder. Some of them even wanted him to die. He had distributed a lot of surgical masks when they had suffered from a mysterious illness, and he had donated money to the poor...

Ugh wha- I don'- What is it? she questioned moodily, rubbing at sleep-encrusted eyes and squinting at the servant and her covered lamp. It's dark, what time is it?

And the darkest whispers of nightmares...
Against her, were mild;

Make a wish

The limelight had never been in Yndira's plans. It was not a dislike of attention that kept her from it, but the need for discretion. She couldn't very well sate her appetite if she remained a wealth of intrigue. She would be restricted to mundane roasted, grilled, stewed, baked,...
