115th Vhalar, 716

Tei'serin's stomach lurched uneasily as powerful scent of onions filled the kitchen. She had been feeling...off, lately. She'd lost track of how many times she'd gotten sick during the past several weeks. The mornings were the worst, but it could happen at any time during the...

Zi’da 5, Arc 716
The hooves of his horse thudded with dull tones against the cold dried ground. The wheels of his waggon stumbled over the shapes moulded in the trodden path and Finn swayed from side to side to keep his balance. Four trials ago he left Ne’haer. Not forever, but for as long as it...

12th of Ymiden, Arc 717

One thumb brushed lightly over the doll's glassy eye, blank and lifeless as it stared up at Felicia from her lap. She found it earlier in the market, tossed aside broken and unwanted in the trash behind a building. It's dress was tattered, stained and more a rag than...

61 Suan, 707

Where Torim had stopped growing in height, he began to fill out in width. Pash, on the other hand, a handful arcs into double digits in age, was still tall and lanky, his muscles lithe under his deeply bronzed skin, but far from bulky like his second cousin or even his father. The...

71st Trial of Ashan during Arc 717
following this Just a short while ago, Vega had gone searching for Arlo when his mare, Peg, had turned up at camp without him. She had taken the horse and the pair of them had come across Arlo after a fight with some bandits. He was covered in bumps and bruises...

Ashan 71, following this Vega was sitting in the camp, trying to learn how to make arrows. It had to be said that she wasn't actually succeeding, but she was sure that it couldn't be that hard so, she'd decided that she was going to learn. Thankfully, Arlo had gone off somewhere and he'd been...

9 Vhalar, 699

Traek carried the boy on his broad shoulders, strong arms looped over Pash’s lanky shins to keep him steady as they walked along the beach, his father’s bare feet in the surf, splashing to make his eldest son laugh. Slung over the man’s back, just out of the young Biqaj’s reach,...

72nd of Zi'da, Arc 717

I'll pay you to give me that, the wealthy man said, blond, lithe and fair of skin, standing proudly before Alistair in the depths of the willow woods, practically posing as if the doctor had held an easel in front of him. This man... was the first person Alistair had ever...

19th Cylus, 717

By the time that Tei'serin and Mr. Gardner had returned to the school, all of the other searchers had returned as well. Talk of sending out another search party once everyone had had a chance to rest, and recover turned to celebration that Sorin had been...

71st Trial of Zi’da, Arc 716

Gorroc was back and somehow, despite the misfortune he’d already cause while aboard the Arbiter, the lotharro still managed to make it back to Rharne and rat out the crew to the authorities there, mainly the captain of such...

2nd of Cylus, Arc 717

Venturing out beyond the city gates, Alistair sought to explore Ne'haer in the dark. Not in the safety of Ymiden, or the winds of a patient spring, but in the cold of Cylus with the sky blocking out the sun. The greatest reason for this was, in fact, his deeply ingrained fear...

700, 12th of Ashan

“Dig.”

Robin struggled against the earth and the cold, his shovel doing little against the former, and his jacket doing less against the latter.

It was his birthday. Or Victor said it was his birthday. Robin hadn’t celebrated the arc before, or the arc before that; there...

78th Ashan, 717

The Patersons, and the Claymores had been fighting for as long as Tei'serin could remember. The two families lived on neighboring farms, and they had been rivals for...forever as far as Tei'serin could tell. It was something of a joke for the people living in and around Treth....

The Willow Woods, Ymiden 22nd 717
Robin loved the woods during the hot cycle. While the rest of the world seemed to escape to the waters that cradled the city, he fled to the trees. He enjoyed how the heat colored them; everything in the woods seemed completely saturated. The canopy seemed an even...

Ymiden 52nd 717

He sat on the cliffside. The winds whipped up from the sea below, pushed higher and higher until they flew around him. They promised rain. The sky was spotted with heavy clouds, grey and pregnant with water. He could hear the rain, too, if he tried hard enough. The buzzing...

Vhalar 10th, Arc 680
“Good morning, love.”

Zana looked at Jaq through sleepy eyes as wakefulness started to take hold of her. He was laying on his side, propped up on his elbow as he spoke those words, his green eyes watching her. Except they weren’t entirely green at the moment, they swirled...

19th Cylus, 717

Tei'serin tried to keep her mind on her work. The spelling tests for the first year students, math tests for the fourth year students, and history papers for the students who would be graduating at the end of the school arc weren't going to grade themselves, after all. But the...

6th Saun, Arc 677
Like most days in Saun it was hot, almost unbearably so and as the hot suns rays beat down on his bare back he let out a long sigh. Building boats was hard work and even more so in the hot of Saun, he was not sure how he had not collapsed yet. His bronze skin glistened in the...

Ymiden, 714
following this It was strange, being back in Ne'haer. She had grown up here, learned her profession here and, if she was entirely honest, here she had fallen in love. Or maybe it had been with the idea of being in love, she wasn't sure. Either way, it had hurt and Zana did not like...

Ymiden, 714
I know you're on a break, but there's five of them and they came in together, Jaq, her handler told her as he adjusted her clothing. Zana looked up at him and smiled, but she did not speak simply allowing him to fuss as he needed to. She was wearing a pretty baby-doll negligee which...

42nd of Ymiden, Arc 717

He never thought he'd feel this way, but somehow he actually believed the Willow Woods to be considerably safer than the Fields of Gauthrel. When he first came upon Ne'haer, what must have been an arc ago, he found himself both terrorized and enchanted by the dangers that...

109th of Ashan, Arc 717

My love, the man whispered to his lover, the much larger Lotharen who laid behind him, maintaining a rhythm, as the sound of slicked movements lined the room and resounded against the walls.

Cariad, called his mate. In the moment of their unity, Alistair called his name...
