Aless caught sound of two voices in the cave just after she left the entrance, which meant Lazule was awake—good and bad, as far as Aless was concerned. She and Te’leis both needed rest and it seemed neither were likely to get it for at least a few hours, even if this battle went well. She...

Aless removed her horse’s saddle and bridle, then brushed a fond hand down Araxa’s nose. “We’ll come back this way,” she promised him. “You won’t be able to follow on the stairs.” She glanced up the stairs up towards the mountainside. They were probably more than a day’s climb to the temple...

After traveling further, skirting the bandits seeking them to avoid an open fight, Aless finally saw it and gestured for the others to follow. Her steps took her off the road and into tall, swaying grasses, Araxa following at a steady pace. There, half-hidden in the foliage and overgrowth, were...

Aless donned her armor as smoothly and swiftly as possible. For plate, it was highly articulated, the many small plates around joints and thick steel, overlapping bands across her waist rather than one solid breastplate covering her down to her belt buckle allowed her extra flexibility. It made...

Aless wasn’t particularly in the mood for company with a potential battle in their immediate future. At least Jaken and Jahi she knew and could trust to a marginal extent. They had the same mission and were going the same direction. Purpose mattered to a creature like Aless. She didn’t do things...

[OOC: Hey, as a reminder to everyone, let other people have a chance to reply before you post. Also, there is a point and purpose to the thread, so I recommend reading from the beginning if you aren’t certain what’s going on. Friendly neighborhood PSA. Hop on Discord or message me if you want to...

Aless immediately moved to don her armor. It would take her a few minutes, but undead were seldom the swiftest. Most moved with the speed of the creatures they had been in life or slower, at least in her experience. It was the relentless nature that made them formidable. Each piece of her steel...

Aless sighed as the cold receded, an ache of remorse in her chest. She hated how easily that mentality returned as soon as it was triggered. Her old self was just under the surface, lurking and waiting for some opportunity to take over. For all her hopes of redemption, it pulled her back into a...

“My name is Aless,” the half-elf said. She gestured over to where the werewolf was. “Speak to Jaken about a potential plan for the more. I need to see to Jahi.” Aless winced slightly when she heard Jaken say “welcome to war”. He had no idea of war, not as she had seen it. That gate is worth a...

Aless was not a creature who flinched, not in her fundamental nature, certainly not when winter was pouring through her veins. When her blood was up, she ran cold instead of hot, even more aware of her surroundings than usual and committed to the core without losing her reason. She struck at...

Aless shrugged. She was slowly becoming accustomed to being a protector, something that had not been in her nature before. She’d seldom cared for anything besides victory and people only in terms of necessity for that end. She could not say if the elf would do the same for her—she doubted it...

(OOC: By all means join, just please check the message in the convo that Adriwolf started for the baseline stuff) Aless sighed, the rush of adrenaline through her body filling her with that unnatural calm. She guided Araxa behind the log with Jaken’s stolen horse and swung down out of the...

Aless shook her hand out, scarred knuckles still split and bleeding in places. She moved differently as she approached their survivor, predatory grace brought out by the taste, no matter how brief, of combat. She took a deep breath, trying to bring herself under control. When she looked at the...

The first three days of the journey passed without anything remarkable occurring. Aless spent the nights up in the middle, taking the least desirable watch so that Jaken and Jahi could sleep uninterrupted. It was a courtesy she extended whether or not it was appreciated. She didn’t have much...

Aless had changed position by the time Te’leis awoke. She knew she wouldn't be able to don her full armor quietly enough not to wake them, but she had put on her subarmalis. The layered silk protected from laceration, as did the segments of fine chain at her joints. She stood like a statue In...
