We're starting a little something different, somewhat in the spirit of the NaNoWriMo, since we're a writing site it seems appropriate to take the opportunity to motivate each other to have some fun and earn some medals by starting and completing...

Maxine’s lip curled from where she hid in the brush. She’d arrived too late. No sooner had she sensed a disturbance, approached with caution, and found a place of concealment to gather what was going on were horses already kicking up...
The fire was warm on Maxine's skin. She could feel the heat radiating from the flames that reflected in her eyes as she stared into them, letting the crackling of burning tinder echo in her ears. It was well into the night if one could tell when night...
The fiddle player was good, but the singer was better. He had that sort of rich baritone that filled the air without seeming to deafen you. Thus his words were like the lilting poetry they were meant to be, not just shouted verse mangled by volume into... noise....
Years had passed since Vethril was freed from slavery, and subsequently found himself back in Yaralon. In spite of his misgivings about leaving that old life and its habits behind, the dreary march of time and demands of life dictate that he feed himself. That meant work. And work was ever...
Mortimer was especially pale this trial. Maxine noticed it even in the firelight, the way the warmth couldn't even seem to wholly blush his cheeks. Sweat was prominently on his skin and portions of his garb always seemed wet from it after half the trial passed. When...

Max?
The Rusalka turned at the sound of her name from Mia's lips. The thin woman with the round face smiled, beckoning her house guest to follow her. Max quirked a brow but did as she was bid. Mia's husband Jae clapped Mortimer on the...
Beads of sweat rolled off Mel’drins face as he toiled in the fields. Vespera was nearby, keeping an eye on the overseers with a look of distaste, as she always did.
Ringing. Loud ringing. Like nothing he had ever experienced before. Was this what it felt like to die? Slowly, Balder lifted his head, pain shooting through him and vision blurred. He could feel the heavy droplets of water as the rained on his...
14th Ymiden, 719
Heavy rain slammed onto the ground from above.
Arrows! Get down now! one of the nearby Sergeants yelled, a man that worked alongside the infantry division. Balder rarely worked so close with these foot soldiers but had been assigned alongside them to assist as a scout on...
Mel’drin watched his father lay in bed. Every breath he took was forced. Kel’isa, a cousin of Mel’drins and a medicine woman, looked over the old man’s body with...
Erryn was not... excited, exactly, to see actual action in the legion for the first time. No, he knew better than to treat real combat and the potential for death on either side lightly. But there was a buzzing anticipation in him, to see how the legion really functioned in battle. And he had to...
The battle with the Magma Beast went well. More than well for Lorogh and his fellow soldiers. Every private present on the field, without much ceremony, had been awarded their bronze wrist chains of the Stalwart. And into the bargain, Victor...
Thaldan stood before Lukas and Hanna as they walked around him. He had been with the Akrobatische for an arc now. Originally he had started with telling stories on the side lines, but had shown enough talent and determination that Lukas...
Thaldan had listen to Tal or Gramps as he insisted on being called most of the morning. As they approached middle of the trail. Thaldan’s energy drained enough, he was still recovering from being sick, and he had returned to his room for a...
Thaldan awoke to the sound of quiet breathing. The window showed the predawn light of morning struggling to grow into full dawn. He looked around and saw a fire in a hearth waiting to brought from sleep to life. Sensing the chill in the...
Thaldan felt the ground disappear under his feet, and with it time seem to spiral into chaos. The young man gave a half shout of surprise as the ice completely gave way beneath his feet. Time seemed to slow as his booted feet splashed...
Thaldan stood by the fire keeping an eyes on the small loafs of bread on a rock next to the fire. They had hopped to get to the next village before night fall, but had failed in there calculations and so now they were stuck in the cold...
The boys had decided that it would be fun to go cow tipping. Thaldan still remembered his friend, Handle had insisting that Thaldan join the other children. Even going so far as to get playing on his father’s desire for the boy to...
Thaldon stood off to the side of the performance out of view of the audience. He was up next to share a story with the audience. He watched as the young woman who was climbing a rope and doing mid air acrobatics twisted her self around...
