Elinyra leveled her gaze at him for a moment. "Just give me a few minutes to gather my things." She moved quickly, first taking down her hammock and then re-packing it into her pack; all the while she pondered if this was really a new path, or simply a distraction from her hunt. She found she...

She tensed involuntarily as someone knocked on her door, then relaxed slightly when she heard a voice. Just one of the waitstaff from downstairs. Without realizing her error, she called back politely, "No, thank you," and set herself to checking she had all of her things. She meant to depart...

The aberrant plants thriving here made their animosity known to him, ineffectual as they were, while his bittersweet melody echoed through the bent and sinewy branches. Even the few luminescent flowers at his feet and fireflies dancing nearby went dark at his mirthful approach. It proved...

While the welkin remained dark and grim above, the dull lights emanated by many of the plants and creatures guided Elinyra's way through the rain, through this pathless stretch of wilderness. Cold raindrops ran over the cloak Mother had given her, leaving the fleshy half of her body blessedly...

Lahuronth charged. Its mind was far gone, its body guided only by cursed madness. Though fierce and hardy in its own right, the corrupted treant was slow compared to Zakarias and cumbersome compared to the winds that he commanded. With a snap and a groan of falling wood, what had once been a...

update my status.... why would I do that?

The full moons shone down brightly on the forest floor, their serene light unfettered by the branches of the decayed trees. To any mortal eyes, it was just another dead, dangerous part of the Balewood to be avoided; to those of the fae, who had an innate sense of the flow of the energies of the...

Elinyra watched him draw in the wet soil in silence while she considered his words. She often felt that there was some deeper meaning behind her life here, but it always seemed just out of her reach. Like the stag, forever leading her in some direction she couldn't fathom. "I don't really know...

The song ended on a sustained low note. Elinyra set the flute down and smiled at those who had gathered around the fire. Most of the faces she recognized, though she was just as happy at the sight of new ones. "Welcome! I am glad that you all have come out this evening to share in my fire...

The single window in Elinyra's room offered her precious little view of what was happening at the warehouse. In the dark, and from the building's angle, all she could see of it were whirls of smoky haze made into floating specters by the light of street lamps. She had glimpsed the battle well...

Soft fingers of mist swirled about the surrounding trees; tiny droplets suspended in the autumn air, foretelling rain. Rain was rare in Tir Na Nog, but the last few days had ushered in storms, bringing muddy earth and bone-chilling dampness with them. Elinyra found it doubly unwelcome because it...

Her expression softened to one of curiosity at his unexpected response. At first she found the statement carried a dangerous naivety, a sentimentality that had no place in the wilderness; but on second thought, perhaps it was very fitting. She often felt that she understood so little about the...

From just a few scant yards within the line of the trees, Enbarr heard a creature's approach. Zyndyrr must have heard it as well - it was not difficult considering the loud crashing of splintering limbs. The stallion's ears laid back anxiously. He thought he smelled water again, but this was not...

Elinyra studied the man for a long moment after his introduction. Of all the beasts and kith from the Otherworld who'd wandered into Tir Na Nog, this was the first to show no fear of its cunning landscape. If anything, he seemed quite at home here. She wasn't sure whether she should be worried...

Within her mind and body, Elinyra and the Reaper were battling for control, but unlike the last time her mind was lucid enough to resist. Still, she might have tried to cut the qilin down then and there if not for the memory of her journey over the last few hours with Xián Yuè and her promise to...
