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...

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,...
