Arius blinked. It seemed that this whole escapade was happening within a whirl. There was something exciting about it, tantalizing even. He found himself standing in the hall, Honey clutching his hand, a small...raccoon? Accosting him about getting the door open. He glanced up past the...

Arius stood in his cell for a brief moment, glancing around, and then he just shrugged. Honey seemed more concerned for him than he would have guessed that...anyone would be. After all, he was just a prisoner, not a friend, nothing else. Perhaps he had been in Allthhaven for too long, mixed in...

Arius froze. No one had ever accused him of being a good criminal. Hell, before he'd come to this town no one had ever accused him of being a criminal at all. AlthHaven was something different. Something that was supposed to have broadened his horizons, but it wasn't fucking Elbion. Most of...

Arius didn't have time to answer questions, not that he was really open enough to do so in the first place. Once upon a time he might not have been so reticent, he might even have been excited. Yet his home in Althhaven had taken that part of him away. He was more weary now, guarded about...

They're not bad men. Somehow Arius doubted that. The way they had treated him hadn't exactly been kind, and he was almost entirely positive he could expect more of the same down the line. Of course he wasn't enough of a monster to tell Honey that. In fact he kept his lips all but sealed until...

Arius let out a long, somewhat dramatic sigh. His fingers wrapped around the bars of his cell, forehead leaning against the opening. Eyes quickly darted from left to right, watching the corners as one of the Guards walked back in his direction. His lips thinned and he called out. "Hey! Don't I...

The...incident within the tavern did not go smoothly. Turns out when a city was turned on it's head by the army in search of an assassin the first people targeted were always foreigners. One of whom was Arius. Within fifteen minutes of the Knights breaking down the door the young apothecary...

Almere "THE KING IS DEAD!" The words were shouted from every corner, every dais, every window. They seemed to resound through the streets of Almere like thunder. Within minutes every man, woman, and child knew of the fate of their sovereign. The rumor swept like a tidal wave, rushing over the...

Arius didn't move. No one would ever have described him as brave. The word 'courage' did not exactly spring to mind when one thought of him, but neither did 'coward'. As Amaryllis stepped toward him the young student twitched slightly, looking up at her with a slight frown. "H-" He frowned for...

Arius nodded. "I'm a student at Althhaven." What was the harm in telling her that fact? The school wasn't exactly easy to attack, and it was doubtful they would let any harm come from...a bear woman. He frowned for a brief moment, shaking his head at how stupid the thought was. Of course she...

Arius glanced down at his journal. "No." He denied stringently enough that one might have thought he was actually lying, though the explanation he added quickly after would dispel those thoughts. "That's all up here." He gestured to his head. "The Journal has some of the other flowers, they...

Arius mirrored her step forward by taking a single step back again. A woman who could turn into a bear was...well something not to entirely trust. Particularly when she had appeared out of nowhere. His eyes narrowed in suspicious, tongue folding over the sound of her name as if he could...

Arius found himself utterly stumped. Had he imagined the bear? No. He had seen it, that much he was confident of. She could try to play him for a fool, but there was a reason he was here. Fingers tightened for a moment on his book, but he would not challenge her. "You're not supposed to eat...

Arius looked back towards where the bear had been, hearing a beautiful and almost ethereal voice echo out. "Did you ju-" The Apprentice fell silent. His jaw dropped, his eyes bugged out, and he stammered something that might have been considered as words in any other kind of situation. He felt...

It did not, in fact, seem as though the bear was about to eat him. Fingers tightened for a brief moment, lips thinning as he stared at the creature. It seemed to shift, moving over towards another patch of flowers and sniffing them as if they would be of some interest as well. Arius frowned...
