54 Vhalar, 719 Evening

-‡- Time was a continual loop to some people. A continual return to the past as ones mind absently replayed scenes out, remembering, learning, enjoying those moments. Some moments weren't even real, but they could come to ones' mind as if one was dreaming, and douse the...

28 Saun 719

Yeva of Rharne, Larkin Trevendor bounded down the stairs of the white plantation house, waving off a field worker to greet her with open arms, one hand holding a pink fruit, the other a cigar, I'm happy to see you could make it. There were rumors another one of the women from your...

50th of Ymiden 719

The bard was just a touch angry at his grandfather. Having been abandoned to the company of a ghoulish creation of that old bird under the pretense of a field trip to their family tomb, he felt very much a fool. Of course the avriel didn't keep tombs deep in the ground!...

38 Ymiden 719

How does that feel? Yeva asked, leaning back to allow the sun to shine over the little boy's chopped hair. He sniffled, remnants of tears streaking his round face with eyes as green as emeralds. He was a handsome boy, favored by the Nest Keepers, or so she was told, and recently...

6 Vhalar 719

Red Robin, Red Robin, it's time to wake up.

A shadow passed over the serene face of a sleeping woman, the tip of a feather trailed down her cheek and wrinkling her nose, What are you doing? her voice was a sleepy mumble, hands blindly reaching for the quilt's edge while she...

24 Ymiden 719

No one gets through!

How dare you! I demand you step aside!

Flocks of Avriel citizens were attempting to fly home, held back by the Athart authority. Yeva kept to the outer rim of the standing mob, rising and falling on the balls of her feet in frantic search, Azrael! she...

Day 11, First days of Zi'da 719

-‡- It was morning, the sun had risen up enough to layer the land with enough light to see through the haze the dessimating remainders of a fog that hung within the air, misting it white and clouding the view of any distance that the eye would be want to behold....

2nd of Vhalar 719

The slave markets, around this time of year, were sparsely trafficked. The advent of the rainy season would be arriving before long, and with it, many avriel would retreat to shelter, for the most part, sending their servants and slaves to do their bidding in the misty mire that...

1st Trial of Zi'da

Winter had come upon the jubilant evergreens of the forests as the season continued. A season when Coroth had perhaps taken on too much for his body to endure, and had spent a number of weeks at his home having to stay there spending days and sometimes more than a week at a time...

Vhalar 20th 719

-‡-The gloominess of the weekend finally ended. The clouds had begun giving way to the brightness of the shimmering orb high in the skies that offered it's extorting rays of heat that blasphemied the concealing layers of drifting dulling colors that floated so high above that at...

Vhalar 3rd 719

-‡- The flames had done more than merely revealed the antechambers and alcoves that had become niches in the walls and ceilings of the cavernous chamber. For after the moments of illumination and scourings of heat passed through the air, and the dismalness of the torches remaining...

Vhalar 9th 719

-‡-It was another day, the sun glamorously filled the lands surrounding the behemoth of rock and stone with a brilliance of light that drew out the favored tones and shadings of green along the landscape. There was of course the more prominent presence of brown in their aged states...

Vhalar 3rd 719

-‡- It was after they passed the fork in the corridors, where the squad had separated to go both paths, that this scene would unravel. For along the corridor that was pursued to catch up with the leader of the squad, and those who had followed her through it's length, Coroths ears...

Vhalar 6th 719

-‡- The weather was growing colder. A few days it was cold enough to stay bundled up in the furs with the nearby warmth of a womans' body within reach, one who could be brought against oneself to drink of her bodies warmth with the entangling of limbs and shivering muscles. Yet, it...

Vhalar 3rd 719

-‡- It was dark, the moon shown through the duration of slowly passing clouds high in the skies that had provided a most cool breeze to glide within. It was also known to be the time when the nocturnal beasts of the wild and dangerous came out to roam in the wilds. Wilds where the...

Vhalar 1st 719

‡ The season of summer had finally passed. Seemingly quick, but still it was a known passing of time. One in which many tragedies had fallen upon the Avriels in their very homes. Tragedies that erked of magic that had to be a product of someone who disliked the winged beings....

65th of Ymiden 719

The reception he'd received wasn't what he'd expected, or experienced in past returns to Athart. Something was wrong with his people, something troubling them, and he nor any other avriel seemed capable of solving the mystery. All that was apparent, on listening in on hushed...

8th of Saun or so 719

”Glorious one, he’s squirming…” The owl’s thoughts entered Kalortah’s mind, filled with the feeling of consternation. Kalortah was adamant with his familiar, however, ”Do as I told you, how many splinters are there?”

The owl shared the information...

7th of Saun 719

Continued from here...

For the next few days, after managing to sneak into the Forest of Stones once more, Kalortah braved the dangers of the angry ghosts and lived off of the land largely. While the bard wasn’t used to living rough on a regular basis, he had to make do there....

Ymiden 24th 719

-‡- There were sounds of men stricken with terror, sounds of water pouring from a large orifice pouring into a pool of water below. There were the sounds of other men begging, pleading for their lives below, echoing off of the rising company of the water at the base of the pit. The...

4th of Saun 719

The stifling still winds of the Saun Season were oppressive in their absence. In any other season, such a calm in the weather might be welcome. But here? In the heart of Athart’s lower quarters, it was capable of suffocating people as they slept in the belly of the miasma....

Ymiden 15th

-‡- It was another day, being spent basking in the heat that poured down from the skies above when the clouds did not conceal the radiating orb with their drifting bouts of shade. The stones of the street bore dried grains of sand that were being chocked up by the hooves of a mule as...

=‡= Ymiden 11th of the year 719 =‡=

‡ Coroth returned to Athart. He had spent longer than others far from his birthing home. Spending much of it in primal pleasures, as well as carnal loathings of humans beyond the lands of Athart and into the larger lands of Central Idalos. Upon his return, he...
