After a brief pause Colette showed Fi the ways in which the Anirians took aim, how they held their draw strings, and Cole demonstrated precisely why she'd been naturally talented at it. "In Vel Anir it's all about patience and precision," she relaxed and her breathing slowed, vision trained in...

"My father works quite hard," Colette had never wanted for much but her family also never had so much coin as to grant her every luxury. The truest example of the growing middle class within the capital city of Vel Anir. To the question at hand the mouse of a girl smiled and blushed. She...

Colette's chin nudged upwards to meet the dark elf's gaze and her demeanor shifted slightly when, instead of a firm handshake, she received a kiss upon her knuckles. There was something about this elf that she couldn't quite place. Some charm or trait that made the ashen skinned woman stand...

"You were amazing." The words were spoken earnestly as the dark elf, who was apparently from the grand empire in a foreign land, finished her match. Colette had watched the entire thing transpire with excitement building in her chest. Seeing how accurate the other woman had been in her first...

Colette began to back away, collecting arrows from the armsmaster to replenish the three she’d just fired. As she started departing though her pupils widened at the sight of the woman who approached her. This was the first dark elf she’d ever laid eyes upon. When she first joined the Guard...

“PHILLIP GODSLAYER!!!” The crowd was cheering after the bizarre man had given another forty-five second speech, he had concluded it by performing a handstand and kicking his boots off to reveal two bare feet. Both of his legs were curled at the knee as his arms supported his weight and one of...

Oh god. Oh Anirius. Oh Kress. She was meant to fight nobles at this tournament? They’d told her she would but she assumed it would be nobility from Houses like Fletching or Vansire or Orig. Not members of the most influential and powerful families in Vel Anir! What would happen if she...

”It’s fine, I’m sure he means well,” it wasn’t like this Oleg person was lying. In a side-by-side size comparison Colette was much smaller than him. Her wide eyes got even wider as the gentleman before her continued speaking and revealed that he was, in fact, a nobleman. Not just any nobleman...

It had been a week or so ago that Major Gansukh had told her to sit down in his office. It was there that he had explained he'd been given the task of selecting members of the Northern Guard to represent the north at the Tournament of Turin, a grand Anirian tradition. His exact words had been...

Being close to Varo, actually touching him, was a sensation she had missed for the months they'd been apart. It was almost intoxicating how nice it felt. To care for someone, to be cared for. "We'll just say we both arrived perfectly on time," she knew it to be a lie but it was a perfectly...

Colette was running late. Her leave began this morning but that hadn't stopped her commander from issuing orders at sunrise, delaying her departure for the farm town of Torrin. By the time she'd finished sweeping out their barracks, re-feathering the pillows, and performing a manual count of...

Cole blinked a few dozen times to make sure what was really happening before her was, well, really happening. She didn't even realize at first who Raf was talking to and turned her head backwards, repeating the phrase, "yes, General, what do we-," she realized only after the words were uttered...

Colette’s eyes widened in horror as the situation spiraled further and further out of control. The splintered door would be a bad enough infraction but now they had a civilian injured and bleeding. ”Um, oh no, oh dear, c-can we all please calm down,” her voice was tight and panicked. Maybe...

Wow! Her team of students was far more eager and professional than she had thought. Colette didn't even need to use her 'mean voice' to get them all to agree to go visit Jeff. "Right, we'll get this over with quickly," she nodded at Draven and then turned towards Raf and Victoria. "He's just...

For a second Colette straightened her back, a brief flood of confidence flowing through her, she could totally do this. It would be so easy! Until, of course, Raf began to ask twenty questions about the man they were pursuing. "Uhhh, he's um," she started until Victoria tried to assert...
