The Hopeful Rest Inn was packed to the brim. Almost every settler was present, and the ambient chatter was such that those involved in conversations had to raise their voices in order to be heard.

Darius was there with Astra,...

Ashan 60, 722

Well, Goku had always thought that this day would come. The day that he would learn Defiance. He had spent arcs under Roshi’s tutelage and while he had spent a significant amount of time getting the old man to teach him Hone he had been reluctant to learn Defiance. Goku knew that...

21st Cylus, 721
16th break

It was bitterly cold, and Wren wouldn't believe that Hart didn't need a coat. You do need a coat, Wren said, frowning at him, and Hart said, No, I don't.

Hart removed his coat, Wren scowled, and Hart hung his coat over Wren's head. Hart! Wren said, indignant, but...

It was under unfamiliar circumstances that Darius descended the gangway of the Libertalia . He had made that walk countless times, his leather boots taking him down the wooden steps to many a locale, but never had he brought...

Darius' breathing was heavy as he rushed down the hill from his house. His footsteps were heavy, thumping against the cobblestones with all the grace of a mammoth that was late for an appointment. His knapsack bounced against...

After an early shift at the Order and quick visit to market, Yeva was climbing the budding hills with an armful of groceries and a satchel swinging from her shoulder, stopping halfway to catch her breath, not having expected the trip to be so arduous, I have to get a horse......

6th of Cylus 722
Her dreams were disturbed by memories of the frantic chase across Fool's Run. Only instead of the sweltering plain, beneath the soggy, relentless rains of Saun, it was the middle of a blizzard in Cylus. Quite uncharacteristic of Yaralon, which was...

Hearing the door rattle a bit, Elisabeth looked up in time to note that Balthazar was walking through the door. She was still seated on the bed in what he could recognize as the position she used for...

The first time anyone heard anything about the crimes against the cadouri, it was about a guinea pig. Apparently the wee fellow had simply stumbled into the wrong part of town and left there with empty pockets.

The second time, it...

Cylus 11, Arc 722

Zi’da had finally made way to Cylus, and the sun never appeared in the sky anymore. Scalvoris, and the entire world with it, were shrouded in perpetual twilight, and a white blanket of snow covered everything. Being outside for...

5th of Cylus

Iago had been educating Woe of late. In all the time he'd spent in tutoring, the lad had picked up quite a collection of Scalvorite customs. In his own time working the island, Woe himself had picked up the language, to the point where he was able to carry on a conversation in it....

20 Vhalar 721

Oram’s ribs were still sore from his sparring bout with Balthazar the trial before, yet he was still enjoying the Combat Festival more than he usually enjoyed festivals of any sort. Since he was not participating in any sort of fighting today, the Chief Ranger could move about in...

50 Zi’da 721

Continued from here.

Oram usually rose at dawn, and this trial was no exception. He emerged from his tent and wandered out to find a dim world roofed by a faint grey sky. A few small flakes dotted his upturned face. Groom Peavers had mentioned the trial before that it might...

103 Vhalar 721

The man didn't run when Balthazar showed him his badge and explained that he was an Element working a case that he couldn't divulge too many details about. They exchanged names, Balthazar introducing himself as Trooper Black and the man introducing himself as Simon Mickelson....

105 Vhalar 721

The Element of Scalvoris, or at least the three Flame Troopers working the Riverboat John case, were having a very, very bad trial. They had gone with the Land Troopers on the hundred and fourth of Vhalar to arrest Simon Mickelson in his home on suspicion that he had been involved...

Zi’da 10, Arc 721

The son of Ziell woke up very early in the morning, before sunrise. To most people, the world would be shrouded in twilight during those breaks, when it was not really night anymore, but the trial hadn’t begun properly yet, in...

Balthazar had wandered off in the morning after they woke, wanting to check in on a few things, but had asked Elisabeth to meet him at the Proving Grounds to catch up on a bit of training. The pair hadn’t trained together in quite some time, and...

Lothar saw the girl when he went into the casino. She was outside asking for nels so she could get a ship but he didn't remember where to. Just that she was passing through. Balthazar explained to Osmond and Hercule. They had assembled in the Element Hall again after questioning a...

102 Vhalar 721

Things were getting out of hand. There was a predator loose in Scalvoris who seemed to be hunting and murdering transients, travelers, and/or anyone without someone who would come looking for them. That was already known to the team of Elements working on the case. However another...

19 Vhalar 721

Balthazar had a bad feeling almost immediately after Oram deflected his thrust with the spear and countered with his own. The spear was a little bit larger of a weapon than he was used to fighting with and it felt heavier after the impact against Oram's but Balthazar kept it in...

20th of Vhalar 721

Zemos endured the silence of the egg with surprising resilience. Although it'd been his constant companion in his head of the last few arcs, he found he didn't need it all that much when push came to shove. It was mostly an amusing commentator on...

Mehehehehe.

Cad was trying to keep a low profile. His villainous costume, complete with what would one day become a trademarked mask, was a pretty ostentatious thing to wear around the middle of...

49 Zi’da 721

Oram watched the little contraptions that studded the flat white expanse that was now the pond’s surface, waiting for one of the flags to pop up.

The weather had been cold, and mostly below freezing, for more than sixty trials now. The ice on the pond was thick enough to walk on...
