Sweat poured down the Sorcerers bare flesh as a series of labored breaths took place whilst he made an attempt to strengthen his body. After being viciously attacked by an unknown group of individuals; Merces needed to acquire a new body. His current form did not do him much justice being that he...

Will you 'urry up? Vega looked at him and grinned. Come on, Arlo, the wind isn't that bad, she shouted, over the screaming gusts which battered both of them with ice and sleet and hail and snow. It's gonna clear up...
A small, bronzed hand wiped sweat from the brow of the hidden huntress. Qit'ria lay upon her belly beneath a leafy bush, one that she knew not the name of. One of her javelins was clutched in her other hand, the...
And what good is the debt of a pauper? Liza quirked an eyebrow at the man in front of her. Genuvah sighed, Mr. Rioghsson, in the time you've been here, you've done little other than rack up a tab at the Lemon Messy, and that Twin Queens establishment....

If you even feel me gettin' warmer, Arlo, please promise me that you'll wake me an' get out of bed. She was worried, there was no doubt, but she was warm and fed and more than any of those things, she was exhausted ....
/gallery/image.php?album_id=189&image_id=13293 8th Trial of Cylus during Arc 718
Things had changed, and changed for the better a lot since Arlo had appeared in front of her up here. He'd insisted on setting up camp properly, and she had slept. Arlo had used an aspect of his mark from Cassion and...
5th Cylus, 718
He was out hunting, and Vega had been sitting on what was very much her rock, meditating on the scar on the palm of her hand. Focusing, listening, controlling what it was that needed to happen. It was tiring work and she was quiet, subdued and in a place of holding on the best she...

Mornin', she said, still half asleep as she curled into him with a smile. She'd said it a hundred times before, every morning they'd woken together, but then as consciousness came to her, Vega almost tensed except his...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=100&image_id=9675 8th Cylus, 718 The storm was raging, like nothing she had ever heard and Faith had to admit that it was a little frightening. The winds howled and hailstones the size of children's marbles battered the house. When Padraig had gone out and closed the...

the trial after this Watching the dawn at sea was beautiful, unlike anything one saw on land. Vega was convinced of this, despite the freezing temperatures and frigid waters which surrounded her. She'd been up since...
77th of Ymiden, Arc 715
“Elias?” a female voice said inquisitively. The old man turned to her from his perch on a blackened volcanic rock. “You’ve never told me where you came from or why you’re here.” Sephira noted stoically as she focused on the space in front of her and began seeking out...

Cylus 1st
Qit'ria trudged through the snow, having just left Cally's dropping off the meats she'd gathered recently in her hunts. She was a bit more chipper now that she found a way to sleep. After having discovered that her sores disappeared while in...

3rd Cylus 718
She really was not enjoying this. It was so damned cold and so damn difficult and Vega was beyond miserable. More than that, she had truly not considered just how debilitating this was. Whenever she held a weapon in her hand, it burst...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=189&image_id=8018 1st Trial of Cylus during Arc 718
Damnit but it was cold . Vega didn't know whether it was safer when she was cold, but she could only assume that it was and so, she decided, she was going to embrace the cold. Endure the cold. Love the cold, that's...
That was the only thing that Tio's life down in his newly refurbished laboratory seemed to subsist of ever since he'd taken the damn thing over. Every book, journal and scrap...

Qit'ria was getting incredibly frustrated with this damnable weasel bear that seemed to always be interfering with her hunts. Once again it had gotten in the way of her morning hunt. And that was...

Foothills at the base of Scalvoris Mountains
Welcome to the Competition side of the Darbyton Derby! This introduction post is dated Dec. 1st and I will do the next reply on December 8th. All participants must post once in this round. New participants may join by...
It was a strange thing for a man who only worked a few trials a season to want, but as it turned out being a pirate captain was more stressful than he'd realised. Sure Grace handled the...
The weather was beyond bloody awful, or it had been for most of the journey here. The last few breaks, though, they'd hit a clear spot and had just been trudging through the snow and dealing with the winds which had lessened a lot...
Perhaps the most remote Elements command post is that of Windward Haven. In the foothills of the Scalvoris mountains, bordering on the outskirts of Egilrun lies this structure. Indeed, the remote nature of this place is negated by access to some of the fastest mounts in Idalos....

82nd Zi'da, 717
Have I ever mentioned, Vega said with a grin as she sat at the table in the galley of the Wanderlust , that I am not one of those people what 'ates to say 'I told you so'? Cos I'm really not. I told you so, an' now you've lost. She...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=127&image_id=12659 Thirty third Trial of Z'ida, mid afternoon.
The wind ravaged the planks of the boardwalk in Gunvorton. The gray sky beyond the sea looked angry. Roland was glad enough to be on land. It wasn't dry. More frozen and dusty. His own face was stiff with...
The light swirled around them and Team Ilaren realised that they were standing together, still in a clearing. Maybe even still in that one, but it had changed somewhat. Or, more precisely, it was the same but the surrounding area was different. They were in a large domed cathedral-like...
