80th of Ymiden, 719

In Ne’haer proper, several things were happening at once. Though to some who stayed out of the affairs outside of their own world it would seem insignificant, to others it was far more or even far less. And all these events were entirely related to one matter. The being a...

43rd of Ymiden, 719

The morning was chill and crisp, the waters were chaotic, and caution had been used around the docks for more trials than anyone could count. Sure-footed Biqaj even stepped with some semblance of self-care as the U’frek seemed to roil beneath their feet while the Mer hide...

7th Trial of Ymiden 719

The Feast of Heavens was underway in the city of Ne'haer, as well as the other eight territories adjoining it. Throughout the main city, however, there were several gatherings going on all over. Within the temples, every home, every neighborhood, and especially out in the...

8 Ymiden 719

The blood didn't last long.

Though it helped initially, Talisse refused to drink more of it. Even after Ellisen had given her full recount of the events that led up to Aeryk's death, from his breaking point upon witnessing Barund's veritable execution to his panicked demands that...

6 Ymiden 719

He had the last of the water, Talisse numbly explained, dark eyes staring blankly at the wall opposite her. That's... that's it. Wyland's death had been breaks ago, and Talisse had, at last, shakily stumbled to the ground, claiming she needed rest, needed time to process and think....

6 Ymiden 719

It had been trials, and still they searched.

Talisse had insisted they make an effort to locate Ellisen and Aeryk, and while Wyland had acquiesced, it had made little difference in their trajectory. Though they had been marking their path through the tunnels, they had discovered...

1 Ymiden 719

It had taken them fifteen trials to find the fracture in the first place, three more to properly prepare themselves for an investigative exploration, and a trial skirting about the outermost tunnels in search of wells. It wasn't until they had broken camp that they realized the...

14 Ymiden 719

Six trials or more had passed since Talisse fell asleep for the last time in the cavern of the creature, three since the last of the blood had run dry, one since Ellesin had lost the strength to walk, and a break of carrying the young woman upon his back. His legs strained against...

8 Ymiden 719

A half-break later and the creature was dead.

Mathias had been forced to raise a hand to directly block the creature's dying attempts to take him with it, shattering the dark glass all the way up to his elbow in the process. Ellisen and Talisse entered the cavern shortly after,...

8 Ymiden 719

Thin, spindly arms hung long from a thick, meaty trunk of a body. Its back to him, there was no head visible, though its equally slender legs were pulled into a frog-like squat as it continued its incessant - almost frantic - scratching. Its whole body was covered in thin, wiry grey...

The evening had settled with the warmth left by the sun long gone by now, the lingering cold of Cylus still a constant within the city of Ne'haer. Trevor had taken to retire to his apartment after having a few glasses of wine at the tavern, as he often did...

25th of Ashan, Arc 718

They walked forward into the forest, on the path least beaten, cleared out by the Willow Woods Outpost and the soldiers who cycled back and forth from the cities and townships of Ne'haer. Running straight through Ki'eiran, the road existed as a connector between the martial...

Ymiden 44 718

The trial was less clouds and more sunshine compared to the recent weather that filled the city, though many were thankful for the rains that doused the region surrounding Ne'haer. Trevor even felt gracious towards the elements that cooled off the city, and hopeful that their...

Location: Crest Break Tavern

Ymiden had only started but the heat still climbed higher, determined to swelter the city within the walls with humid temperatures. Thankfully though the stone sighed off the accumulated heat, the later into...

98th of Ashan, Arc 718

He died so young.

I know.

My... little Thomas. So curious a boy. Curious enough to wander into the Woods... I always told him not to. I always--

I know, Violet. I'm sorry, the doctor offered, his eyes narrowing in sorrow, brows clamped to his eyelids as the sadness...

18th Trial of Suan Arc 708

Gennadiya walked into her father’s shop a necklace in hand. She paused and looked around taking in the front end of the shop. She hadn’t ever come in through the front door and took in the view as if she was a visitor. The place held a number of locked counters with...

Ymiden 12 Arc 710

Gennadiya stood outside of the family home on the lawn and across from her stood her sister Elizaveta. Both of them were dressed in simple brown dresses the donned when the practiced. Their father had insisted they learn how to defend themselves arcs ago when some poor young...

28th of Ashan, Arc 719
Continued from here .

Zarik's negative emotions had been drawn, largely, from the same sources he might have imagined, as -- like with Fridgar -- he felt that he began to really understand the type of person Zarik was. Though he was glad to know that his sisters were...

27th of Ashan, Arc 719

Ten trials of flight. Before they left, Alistair ensured that Kleine, Daniel and Kaelrik had the necessary means to provide for Asher and Winston while they were away, as the magister informed Kleine privately of his reasons for going on the sudden endeavor. By the time...

Ashan 5th of 712 in Lyosia

Gennadiya approached the house with apprehension. It was her first trial learning the arts of healing and she was nervous after her previous failure in school. She had always done well in her classes until she had started down the slipper slop of drugs. She felt her...

3, Zi'da, 114th Arc

Ilinis shoved his way through the students of the Structure within the Academies. Some scoffed at him, others cursed at him, and a few looked at him with bewildered eyes. The blue-skinned Eldisi crashed down the hall, sweat dripping off of his bruised and bleeding brow....

30th of Cylus, 718 “Hold them.”

“I am.” Cirrina retorted as curtly as ever though she was fairly distracted, with each of her tentacles dabbling in other frequencies.

“Find me.”

“I keep finding fish.”

“Then use your head and not your stomach.”

The mer bared her teeth in a quiet snarl but...

2nd of Ashan, 717

“This cave has lovely acoustics.” Marin commented as her laid out the blanket to sit on, Cirrina only watched having refused to assist as she lazed on the shore line. “You did well.”

“I know I did.” The mer said with no shortage of prize, “You should be lucky I’ve shown you...
