“Loose, Liam.” Shl’Drei repeated it - his body relaxed and his face gentle. Liam didn’t find much reason to stay after looking at his partner - he took off and didn’t look back. The stormlands where somewhat of a home away from for Shl’Drei - and Liam. The carcal wasn’t often...
Tiptoeing through the house. It wasn’t Ember’s house but it was the only one she could call her home. Normally locked away, her captor had conveniently forgotten to properly do up all the locks that normally kept her from poking around. The only thing stopping her from escaping was...
It was going to be a hot and humid day. Ember opened her eyes after hearing noise in the kitchen. Her father was already up and preparing some sandwiches and other varied cold meals for the day. Ember got dressed and stood up, wiping her eyes. She looked outside....
Ember sat quietly but shaking as the atrocious memories that her childhood had brought her arose again. From memories such as the agonizing noise of an explosion where still the image of one of the most dear people she knew dying in his own blood, just one of many hurtful strings...

From the start of life
To my dying day
In the dark of night
And the burning light of day
It's a Bloody Fight
]But I can't walk away
I'm prime, for the front line
Unholy war. Unholy War.
I'll try. I'll...

Lucas looked at the path up to the house with a sigh, his clothes were once again worn and messy from the seasons he had spent down in the Wardens base. After recieving the original letter from Faith offering a warning about...
Picture the Augustin residence from afar with a brilliant sun lazy in it's descent to the horizon, the very air already dryer than the season prior now that the season had finally began. After the apex of the day had passed and the heat managed to wane...

Vivian grumbled to herself as she reported to the commander's tent. The camp around Faith Augustine's house was busy, but it kept the doctor and her family safe. As the head of Faith's Lightning Knight guards, Vivian was normally either in the house or...
Deep in the bowels of the world beneath the world, in this ghostly, ghastly land of ne’er-do-wells and bogged bandersnatches, and frightful words for terrible beings, there did not live a man, for he was a dead man, and his watery soul being slowly dragged to the...
So distant, yet so impactful, the memory of this place struck a chord with Egaro. In his nightly haunts around the lake, it was here in the woods he recalled being hunted by wolves and chased to a place where he was given a memory most unpleasant. It was a dark place in the hollow...
The day was bright, the sun livening the spirit. It was a good day, though Egaro spent much of the day trying to hunt the beasts of the area so he could possess them. Try as he might, Egaro was never a skilled hunter. On days like these, he sat upon the very rock he meditated upon...
Bright groves of flowers speckled the trail along the shores of Lake Lovalus, stony crags and waves lapping at the cliffs to one side, and a deep forest of bright green trees to the other. In the air, a sweet lavender clung to Egaro’s nostrils, filling him with a sense of ease as...
The shores of Lake Lovalus lapped at the docks built into the rocky crags at the foot of the mountain Rharne was founded upon. It was here the humans came to moor their vessels, to one day take them out into the cold waters and plumb the depths of its life. When this was done on...
For thirty Trials or so, Egaro honed his mind and body. Ever since he emerged from the Beneath, he had it in his mind that he did not wish to become like the Phantoms languishing in the dark, nor the lost souls that were shredded away in their weakness.

Learning To Ride Ashan 48th 719

P atrick opened his eyes as he laid upside down up against the trunk of a tree, his entire body locked in a cramp after the hard ass tumble he'd taken. Ri'ku hovered upside down in front of his face hoping to check and make sure he had...
Nothing. Patrick sat at the desk in his office area and tapped a couple fingers impatiently, the majority of his day already passed as the sun lazily fell just above the horizon. Now as the intense orange rays illuminated the parts of his abode through...

The 82nd Trial of Ymiden, Arc 719
Eliza had always considered herself to be; in a sense; a solitary child. It seemed like an odd stance to take, considering the nature of her birth and upbringing. Over the course of two full centuries and then some, she'd called...
The Lights Return to the Water
Trial 13 of Zida 718
Continues from Alchemia Nostrum Part 2
It was early in Zi'da but it was already very cold. Like so many other people in Rharne Yrmellyn was uncomfortable and freezing. She avoided to go out if it wasn't a...
The time had come. The moment he'd dreaded. Honestly, he'd put it off because he genuinely believed he could solve the problem himself; perhaps it would resolve itself, even. Lynessa knew who it was, anyway. Or he hoped that she did. That should...
From above they could see all as the wind gusted past them during the remainder of their flight, the Stormlands below nearly rolled in their endless stretches as mounds of hills and forests passed. Yet there was one sight in particular that the entire...
⌘ By the next morning, Yavanna and her captive trek their way to the stronghold of the military force withing Rharne. As she lugged her captive, the young man from the other night, she still had questions that plagued her in...
