86th of Ashan

The wound was still new, but closing. It ached with a dull and satisfying pain that Jonathan found strangely attractive. It was a solid bond now. It felt stronger, and more in tune, than anything he'd had with Daeva. It was...true. He could feel Hob in the back of his head moreso...

33rd of Ashan, Arc 718

Come on, climb it, he commanded himself, making a small leap towards the side of the building as he grabbed onto the windowsill with his fingertips. Every time, though, they slid off just as quickly as they grabbed on... and he had to drop himself, letting his feet catch...

83rd of Ashan, Arc 718

You should have left, he said.

I couldn't.

Why?

Because it was right there, right in front of us. The thing we'd been searching for - Obstymite. The thing that would change this all; give us the power and proficiency we need to slay Ellasin. That one, lacking...

80th of Ashan

’Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out. Deep breaths. Long exhales. Focus on the breathing. Breathe in, breathe out.’

Han laid flat on his back on the floor of his small home, mentally setting the stage for what would hopefully be a beneficial...

Ashan 13th, 718
By boat and on the misty morning's tide, Zafir had arrived.

Ne'hear had changed much since the last time he had been in the holy city. Nine arcs was a long time to be gone from any place, and Zafir could hardly call the docks recognizable. Ne'haer had always been cosmopolitan...

29th of Ashan (Later that Day)
Jon instantly loved Yuurova. It was the type of place he could see himself going often as well, and his question to Alistair before they had left now just seemed silly. Yuurova was beautiful, with waterfalls, steep mountain climbs, trees and grass. He smiled and...

Ashan 718

A pamphlet spread around the cities' undertow. It was sporadically released in the areas were curious slaves and those lacking the typical Ne'Hearian morality would hang about. It was said that if one went searching for more answers to the origins of these fliers they would eventually...

47th of Ashan, 718

Out of the silence of nature that filled the woods of the Ne’harean territories, the yelp of a cut suddenly through the forest like a knife through butter, followed closely by the gallop of hooves as the whole group bolted in response, escaping whatever threat it was that had...

Ashan 104 718
Location: South of Yurrova, Across the Anari River

I don't care! A large and aggravated man garbed in a heavy set raiment blurted loudly in his tent, with a fist slammed hard into the table as he glared to one of the soldier's. Let the men say what they want to say, if we don't...

75th of Ashan, 718

Ne’haer was quite a sight to behold at any time with its beaming white stone, blasting up out of the ground like Idalos itself was reaching up from below. In the warmth of Ashan the streets were packed. It was on this beautiful day that Han had gone inquiring at the employment...

17th Trial of Cylus, Arc 715
The frigid winter season of Cylus crept over the frozen hills of Yurrova Proper with a means to wrap all those who emerged from the shelter of their wooden buildings within a cold, icy embrace. It was a painfully irritating season, really. How...

25th of Ashan

Jonathan hadn't been in a city since he'd left Etzos. He was still coming down off of the high of obtaining his Harvester, and he could feel power humming through his veins. He didn't feel like a mere human anymore but something greater with Daeva at his side, even when she wasn't...

Ashan 15, 717

Fate was rarely grand in the way storytellers and writers often made it out to be. It was much smaller, like most legends were when examined up close; it lived in small moments, in passing glances on busy streets and accidentally leaving something behind.

As it had been two days...

29th of Ashan, Arc 718

Nightfallen came. Not often did the magi go out into the night, as much of his days he spent his evenings in quiet study, magical theory or isolated contemplation. Unlike other such nights, however, Alistair found a unique inspiration this eve. It likely had more to do with...

Kleine Volgotha, you savage little Nordhoff, he whispered, shaking his head. Did you really think you could hide them from me? Your post-romp linens? Fuckin' Gods, man. Keep that out of the hospital, he teased, grinning as he waved the... stained pair of trousers......

pre-dawn

“You do this every morning?”

Ejav was leaning against the closest wagon, arms cross and head cocked curiously. His salt-and-pepper black hair ran wild from sleep, the steel blue eyes still groggy. He was up quite early.

The sun had not yet broken, although the eastern sky...

26th of Ashan, Arc 718

So much death. Suffering. City piling onto another - a strike from each blade, a fallen man. Lysoria, Ironridge, Yurrova, Ne'haer, Bayward, all the rest; they had been embroiled in a conflict for some time. Soldiers had fallen en masse, and the cyclical nature of war meant...

Cylus 15th, 715

No.

The word lanced through Zafir, cutting through his mental defenses like they were made of silk. The man hadn't even looked up to address him, instead finding the grout in between his fingernails far more interesting. He was a small human, with fading grey hair and...

7th of Cylus 717 Noon

Only a handful of trials into Cylus, and the waters around the Northern Wing of the Temple was beginning to develop a thin sheen of ice. Even the fires of the Temple had cooled into embers, with this portion being less trafficked than others on general in this season. Less...

The flames from the jungle fire wafted into the air, uplifting the scent of fish seasoned with citrus juice and spices Rorom had traded for with a merchant in Ne'Haer. A side of root vegetables were roasting alongside with them, having traded some of his catch with the local farmers for just that....

Felix did not have many friends.It wasn’t that he was a particularly awkward child, even when compared to other children. He did not torture puppies or had a cursed presence that made people fall mysteriously ill around him. Truth be told, through shyness and...

To say that Pash enjoyed a good party was perhaps a bit of an understatement, the sensational hedonist that lived under the tanned, inked landscape of his Biqaj shape so energized and nourished by the stories and company of others that he often subsisted on their experiences for...

16th of Saun, 714

Sometimes, life moved too fast for an individual to keep up. This was especially the case with the mortalborn, whose body grew way too fast for his mind to adapt. Feeding after feeding, there were always new details to be seen in his changing body. This was not a product of...
