Hey everyone, looking to make some changes to my character shuffle - but hoping to jump back in :) Hoping everyone else well and hope that we get to write again.

Smiling, Achates moved to speak again to the Prince, but the present took him that Ashunar had presented. Sighing soft, she continued to smile and listen to what the father had to say. She entered the conversation late but listened intently. Breaking bread with rivals, a concept that she had...

Achates ignored the sound of the horses and the shore flooding with the dead; her mind focused on Harrier. She heard the gasps as the dagger burrowed into the woman’s ribs and the thud when she landed. Her feet landed onto the ground with a thud, her eyes remaining locked on her target. That...

The bolt shattering didn’t surprise Achates; she fully expected the Necromancer to be able to block either with magic or her stave. With the magic residue in the air and being closer to the woman, Achates was able to pick up on the woman’s scent. Once the predator caught the trail, Harrier would...

“That’s where you’re wrong, Necromancer.” The familiar tightness in her chest twisted while she fought the primal animal from emerging. It clawed and roared, wanting to be released; the taste of fresh blood filled her mouth, feeding the creature. “I’m not an assassin; I hunt monsters…I erase...

Achates caught the gaze of the sapphire eyed prince, the attention he gave her in just that moment caused the elven girl to blush deeply. A shy smile returned, but with the announcement of the others and Medja breaking the silence when she arrived, her attention pulled. Mago spoke, and Achates...

Where is the line? How many little souls will I be comforting tonight before they fade away? The words continued to echo in her mind; they remained as dark images that she had kept hidden deep within her memory. Screams of terror yelled, and it took everything in the elven girl’s power to...

What kind of monsters :0!

Hearing the voice, she quickly stood up and adjusted her clothing – attempting to be as casual as possible. “Um,” embarrassment crossed her face as she avoided eye contact with the Commander. “Yes, I’m okay. I just wasn’t aware there were people around.” Fingertips brushed back stray strands of...

It was an odd time of peace, but war was always on the horizon. Achates decided today she’d leave her quarters and explore. It felt like some time since she had just wandered. There were duties that she had to deal with as Vizir of the Treasury. When she was initially appointed, the young woman...

Watching the end of the fight, Achates smiled; it was entertaining she wasn’t expecting it to be. She did her best to focus on the match and on what was happening around it but damn her keen hearing and her foolishness to concentrate on his voice absentmindedly. Her chest felt as if it was...

Achates showed no falter in her stance as she stood still aiming her weapon. Inwardly, she felt her stomach twist with the thought of something happening to innocents. It wasn’t the children’s fault their father was the man he was. “The children,” Achates paused and shortened the range between...

She was taken aback by the question. At first, she assumed that the hermit looking woman would attempt to change the subject. Achates didn’t falter, in her heart, she believed in Gerra, she invested in him. “As I said, he’s kind. Even when people fail – he gives them another chance. His first...

Achates was curious about the woman; she did not seem bothered seeing a weapon drawn with her as the target. Finger rested on the trigger, and she took a few steps closer. Harrier asked her questions, and Achates tightened her lips for a moment in thought. Maybe it was possible to convince the...

The sound of the ocean echoed while it was disturbed by something beyond its might, caused the wolf girl to glance at it slightly. Bone clean of meat and organ washed up on the shore, proving her nose to have been right. Eyes focused again on the woman as she spoke. The stench of death was more...
