Well, you could say what you would about Aldrae and her seeming knack for getting herself into trouble, at the very least she took things in stride. Most of Erren's senior students of old would have been curled up sobbing after an experience like that. Serris wasn't about to complain. They...

The two of them weren't particularly close, having only met an hour and change prior, so Erren didn't forsee any real issue with his request, barring some hidden pacifism harbored without his notice. Still, it seemed to take a moment before she accepted any notion of laying her hands on him in a...

"I'll be quite frank with you..." Erren stopped only seconds to allow Aldrae to lower herself back to her feet before taking the wrist that wasn't wearing a foreign and dangerous relic and hurrying her along beside him. "There are so many godforsaken things being studied in this place that I...

The silence between them certainly wasn't helping the tense and unsettling atmosphere that permeated the lifeless College surrounding them like a stone prison, but every word spoken was a risk of being heard by those who pursued them. Once they were safe, there would be time for talk, and quite...

Well she had enough wits about her to make jokes. That was as telling as anything, given the circumstances. Erren wiped his hair, slightly matted with sweat, from his bow and tucked it neatly to the sides as he so desperately clung to that aura of professionalism he prided himself on. "With that...

Had they the slightest bit more time, Erren would have offered Aldrae some reprieve. Despite his urgency, he was not a cold man in the least. It was unfortunate that the direness of the situation surrounding them forced him to demand swiftness.So too was it regrettable that it left him with...

It was a cat-and-mouse game that Erren had already long tired of. Were he alone, the mage would have wasted little time confronting his pursuers. They couldn't just rid themselves of an ex-Maester; even with his disgraced status, the Foard wouldn't take the loss of one of their assets without a...

Amos' research didn't very much narrow things down, or offer anything that couldn't be inferred by the grandiose chambers they wandered through already. History was full of lost civilizations, many of them great for their time. It did make sense now, though, how a cave-in could so easily occur...

Garrenoth. Erren knew little more of Garrenoth's personal dealings than Aldrae likely did, but he was a member of the very Foard that had purposefully concealed the fate of his brother Leon, and so the former Professor had little in the way of trust for him. Still, to accuse a Maester of such...

Amos' brief internal conflict wasn't entirely lost on Erren. The way the boy was looking at himself, the emotion in his eyes... It was only to be expected that he'd have mixed feelings about feeling so healthy, and knowing it was only temporary. Nevertheless, he ignored it. Perhaps the two of...

The alchemist in Erren wanted very badly to grin ear-to-ear at young Amos as he swallowed down the Elixir, almost immediately straightening in posture, color returning to skin that had begun to grow pallor. There was little time for self-congratulations, however. The effects of such a concoction...

Erren had dealt with students enough to know when he was being held out on. Aldrae wasn't the worst liar he'd ever encountered, but she wasn't a good one either. Nevertheless, the older mage had dutifully found a roll of blank parchment and began to scribble down those truths she was willing to...

"Funny you should say that." Erren smirked back at his friend as he lightly tapped the disc with the metal-capped tip on one of his fingers, letting out a crystalline ringing that echoed through the dusty old hall with brilliant clarity. "Maester Ghabin was instructed to tidy this place up some...

Open invitation to continue our work, if you're so inclined!

Erren felt his tongue click against the roof of his mouth in disapproval. Yes, it sounded just like the Dreadlords to poke about where they had no business being. To find the buried ruins of a city was fascinating, yes, but it should have been handled from the very beginning by scholars and...
