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....

Just after this
Oh, I've missed you, I really have.
One could certainly be forgiven for thinking that Vega was talking to her husband, Arlo. But no, this was Storm, her horse. She loved her horse and she loved, more than anything, the prospect of being...
Kieran woke to the clattering of hooves on flagstones; as his heart raced, his first thought was that the bastards had found him. He rose stiffly from his bed to peer cautiously out the narrow garret window onto the innyard. He saw eight horses, and could hear more. They were all...
Tier 2 Fiddle. Vega joins the Lightning Knights following reports of a Flame Banshee. Here, she's leaving and getting as many Wardens involved as she can.

I'm a'right, she said, calmly and gently. An' if you ask me one more time, I'm gonna punch you so hard, I'll hurt my knuckles on the inside of the back of yer head. As ever, Vega thought, she was being patient and polite. An' if you...
6th Trial of Ashan during Arc 720
/gallery/image/18487/medium I guess it's the hey nonny nonny within, eh?
~~ Vega, to Arlo: Cylus 717 ~~
She'd gone to Desnind in Arc 716 to try and find out about her Sev'ryn side. But then, she'd stayed till the end of Cylus 717. It was in Desnind that she...
It was a nice trial for a ride across the Stormlands. To say that there was a refreshing nip in the air was putting it mildly. It was colder than cold. But they were bundled up against it, and while Vega as the daughter of Faldrun...
Calm and quiet was not something that Vega did often. Or, at all usually. But, as she listened to Isobella's voice, singing gently, Vega kept her eyes closed and she danced. They knew, the pair of them, that the only way that Vega was going to ever learn...
Immediately following the first wave, the group are now ambushed by Ramernickels. Vega become suspicious that, once again, these creatures are hiding something bigger.

10th Ashan 720
... mere seconds after this
Butter my biscuit an' Schizzle my snoot but where'd they come from!?! Vega cried out as she realised that this was not the end of them. They had just fought off a swarm of Bobernickels and Wolfernickels -...
/gallery/image/17796/medium 10th Ashan 720. Two breaks after this .
They'd been traveling for just over two breaks when the first attack came.
It wasn't a surprise attack, this one, but despite that it showed them something which Vega had been coming to consider before. These creatures were...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=189&image_id=11420 10th Trial of Ashan during Arc 720
They were going out to patrol the Storm Wastes.
Jack, her commanding officer and Lieutenant, had assembled a team of them, of which she was one. There were - including her and Jack - the ten of them who had...
Dan woke the next morning to aching stiffened muscles and a sharp memory of why, exactly, he had worked so hard the day before. He staggered and winced his way through his usual morning chores, adding to them the...
Where Vega finds herself cut off from the others, who are surrounded by Ramernickels and so on. She makes a judgement call - believing that there is someone - or something - controlling these creatures. Will it pay off?
/gallery/image/18174/medium 10th Ashan, 720
immediately following this .
Having fought off the ramernickels and killed the massive wormanickel, Vega was clambering through what was a sort of short tunnel. She figured that it was probably created by the worm, which was incredibly hot. It was only...
Dan opened his eyes to darkness, which wasn't unexpected seeing as it was Cylus and dark all the time, and to Cloud's insistent nudging, which was rather more unexpected and probably meant something somewhere had...
He was no farmer, but even he doubted they'd ever get this land to produce anything but dust. Patches of it around the castle itself, mostly leading towards the north, were still viable. They could be made into pastures for animals, or...
Something very close to a growl answered from beneath his bones. Not the purr of a house cat or the mewling of a kitten. The sounds he'd become used to in the past, in the beginning, when it was fresh and new in the world. Like...
- Kill the Breacher Beast.
A huge siege beast has broken through the gate, and seems focused on destroying any buildings it finds, opening holes for more beasts. Stop it before it breaks anything else! High Danger. (Refer to the Lightning Knights...
It was true what they said about the journey back: it was always much shorter than the journey there. Whether it was because you knew where you had come from that made it go by quicker or something other, Zur wasn’t sure. But that particular forest took less coming out than...
Being born a new from out of a chrysalis must feel rejuvenating like stumbling upon a revelation that changed the scope of your entire view of the world.
That’s what it felt like when his father had taken him out on a whim of bonding to search the heavenly grasses for common...
The woodland around Rharne is growing increasingly unsafe for the unwary. With the issues at Storm's Edge and so on, more and more people are turning to the woodland Asegirr has noticed a distinct increase in animals fleeing their homes and setting up new territories around the area, but there is some kind of predator in the area also, some large beast which works alone and is scaring away the usual wildlife. Will Asegirr investigate, and try to restore balance?
When Aesgirr woke up that morning he expected to hear the sounds of nature prey eating plants and leaves, birds cawing and predators hunting down prey to viciously or lazily kill it and or eat it depending on their situation. But when he woke up that day...
They started cooking when the sun had completely risen. The beasts saw by heat, as much as they could tell, and the hunters knew this. Low light or night was their preferred time to scour the lands for prey, where this extra sense could pinpoint...
It really was a case of work making work. It hadn't occurred to him when he'd done it. The idea had come to him on the spur, but now he had the tatters in his hands, well... things lined up nicely.
