10th of Cylus, Arc 719
Heads up. Ricky said, unwrapping his sling from his wrist. Praetorum took a moment to envy how easily the man controlled his horse with only his knees and weight, before turning to look. Sure enough, there was something coming towards them from the direction of the swamp,...

14th of Cylus, Arc 719
Tess woke him up as the tides began to ebb out, what would have been the crack of dawn had the sun been visible. Good luck. Was all she said, and he nodded to her as he saddled up, bringing nothing but his scythe to reduce weight. Sivan was grumpy, both from being woken up...

13th of Cylus, Arc 719
The sharp turn had given him a little bit of breathing room, and Praetorum took that brief window of time to cock his crossbow again. Within moments, though, the birds were back on Sivan's tail, and he took the reins again. Alright sweetheart. He muttered into her scales,...

14th of Cylus, Arc 719
Praetorum had been told in no uncertain terms to keep his weight off his injured leg unless necessary, so he'd spent the last day sitting by the hole in the side of the ship, keeping watch with his crossbow in his lap. His aim was still poor, but it sufficed to scare off...

12th of Cylus, Arc 719
It was the fishing gear, more than anything else Praetorum had brought, that turned out to be the most helpful. All of the adult survivors of the storm were at least adequate hunters, but one, a bijaq nicknamed Tess, was an accomplished fisherman to boot. On the first trial...

10th of Cylus, Arc 719
As it turned out, Praetorum's earlier assessment that the ship seemed mostly undamaged was not quite correct. What he hadn't been able to see from above was the ragged hole on the side of the ship facing inland, that exposed quite a bit of the lower two decks. Walking Sivan...

8th of Cylus 719

They decided to walk together that night, whether out of a misplaced sense of chivalry or sensing the opportunity for profit, Ausian followed her along the streets. While walking along, they made small talk. About weapons, weapon...

Cylus 8th of 719

The two men grinned at each other, patting their empty palm with the blunt edge of their cudgels as they advanced towards her. She for her part was readying her mace, with one hand doing a figure-eight motion with the bludgeon, while the...

Culture makes people understand each other better.
~~ Paulo Coelho
There was a party that night. In fairness, when one had a group of biqaj, it was fair to say that there were parties most nights. However, just at the beginning of Zi'da three ships had...

90th Zi'da, 718

He peered into the darkness, waiting for the snoring to start.

His belly pressed on the hard floor, and he feared Gwenum would come storming down the stairs and find him backed into a wall, clutching the small bundle of belongings tied together with a bit of old rope if he so much...

Vhalar 60, 718

It was nearly sunset, perhaps an hour prior. Despite the cold temperatures Aetu was wearing her usual summer attire which consisted of her short shorts, tank top, gloves, and boots. Nearly everything she wore hugged her body tight which showed that she was still growing and...

21 Vhalar 718
What would they have him do? Since his arrival in Yaralon, Thysbae had been unsure of where he would fall in their placement. Once it had become apparent that he was not, in fact, a mage, his captors had very much so needed something else to do with him. His lack of skill only made...

Vhalar 48, 718

Cold and gloomy. That’s how the day felt to Aetu who couldn’t believe that it was this frigid at midday. It was days like this that made her want to sit in her tent and cuddle up with her blankets. It was unfortunate that her urge to eat always beat her urge to be lazy all day....

8th of Cylus 719

A day after the Lightless Revel held by the Naer of the Ramshackle Burho, the entire neighborhood was lit by the bright moons of Cylus. Alora nevertheless held a torch as she kicked in the hatch leading into the basement. She opened the door after the rotted wooden bannister...

Mastemyr Kaidonis 》 Son of Aelig 《

Yaralon had not been kind to Mastemyr. It had fed him until he overflowed, but with the intoxicating meals of chaos, the results had cracked his mind, peeling back the fresh scabs that protected his delicate mentality and...

Vhalar 4 718

Shards of metal hitting the ground were followed by a large grunt and a scream of pain. A man’s shield had just been shattered by an overwhelmingly large club and demanded more challengers. Aetu was at a popular training grounds where people could come and practice dueling in...

Vhalar 120 718

It was a great feeling to have left the forest behind and climb the ladder to adulthood, at least that's how Riku felt about it. He had had a blast learning tactics and survival during his trip to the city, but now he felt like he could accomplish more for people and himself. He...

68th of Zi'da, Arc 718
The Hand sent out scouts, not to watch for danger, as it turned out, but to map out the fractures ahead, and find the safest path through. Praetorum discovered this when, around midday, Liv'ana and her scouting team dragged him with them.

So are the three of you assigned...

68th of Zi'da, Arc 718

The four foragers returned to find that some of the others had had more success catching game than picking berries; there was a small pile of small, bright pink rodents that Liv informed him were 'lemmingos', as well as some sort of deerlike creature being gutted and...

68th of Zi'da, Arc 718
With the caravan slowing them down, the decent down from the stronghold was much slower. Liv'ana, as the one who'd first slipped up in their little prank, had been assigned to show Praetorum the ropes, so she rode alongside him as they went, answering his questions as they...

68th of Zi'da, Arc 718
So. Praetorum blinked down at the human woman assessing him. She'd given her name as Selyin, and even with the both of them seated and a table between them, Praetorum had to dip his head to meet her eyes. Edyn was right. You are gigantic.

My mother was larger. He...

Zi'da 67 15:00
Hours passed and Aetu’s terminally ill patient continued to lay quietly as his family huddled around in Aetu’s small tent. It was usually pretty chilly inside but all the bodies made for good space heaters. She had been reviewing her patient’s, Wally’s, papers that his family had...

Zi'da 67, 718 12:00
Aetu looked into the sky, trying to gauge what time it was. She guessed it was around noon which meant it was lunch time. Her mentor would no doubt be on his way to drag her to the market for lunch. After all, she did deserve the break. The lunch carried light conversations,...
