    Private Tales Studies

    "I hear Professor Rainnard has had to have his study completely redecorated?" Gerrard called as he held out his hand. Apparently the disgraced mage still had some ears within the College. In fact on that occasion he suspected they might have summoned him to defend her from being expelled...

    Private Tales Light After Dark

    Dearest Audreyn, Of course you can. You can write with whatever you need whenever you want. I hope I have arranged for sufficient to be available from the usual bank. Have you been through any preliminary exams? They're actually not for your own grades even though they tell you that. It's...

    Private Tales Light After Dark

    Dear Audreyn, I am as pleased as one can be to hear of your new friends. Soon I'm sure you will be barely find the time to write. I knew that you would find acceptance there. Every one of the students has likely been feeling out of place and lost away from the safety of home. My brother...

    Private Tales Light After Dark

    Dear Audreyn, It took me some time and I had to enquire with an old colleague but in this envelope I include instructions for a paste that is quite safe and if left on the scalp overnight will help promote regrowing hair. It will still take over a week, but I suppose that is a vast...

    Private Tales Light After Dark

    Dear Audreyn, I am very glad to hear that you are beginning to settle into the college. Very glad indeed. If you can borrow three quarts of chyrillis gel from the labs and mix in one crushed vowder seed you will have a mix that you can coat a sheaf of paper with. Leave it to dry and the...

    Private Tales Light After Dark

    When he read her letter he knew that he should have made a clean break. He should have put her in better, safer hands than his own and cast her from his mind. But he couldn't. Dear Audreyn, History is a tedious waste of time. It forms one of a backbone of subjects to ensure that witless...

    Private Tales Light After Dark

    Dear Audreyn, I sit next to a pile of crumpled up letters. Perhaps this letter is the one I will actual decide is right. Or at least as close as can be. Putting my feelings to paper is hard work. Harder than the entirely new spell I created just to remove ink stains from hardwood. I keep...

    Private Tales Light After Dark

    Audreyn, I am weak and I am foolish. I tell you this because I am asking you not to keeping asking me this. I miss your company greatly and I have never been good at making the right decision. If you keep asking I will make the selfish call and bring you here. You are no monster. Neither am I...

    Private Tales Light After Dark

    Dear Audreyn, Perhaps right now my money is the only way I can help without making matters worse. Do not fret over the others. I am sure you have more natural beauty than their fine clothes and make up can fake. You have more potential than any of them, I imagine. It will show. The masters...

    Private Tales Light After Dark

    Dear Audreyn, It took me some time to decide if your letter was entirely serious. I apologise. It did not occur to me that such things would not be covered by the stupid stipend I had my brother set up for you. Please find with this letter what I hope is something suitable. I cannot visit...

    Private Tales Light After Dark

    Dear Audreyn, My tea is usually cold because I get distracted with my work. So I suppose, in a way, you get your wish. Please, at least indulge me in letting me know how your studies go? Do they treat you well? If they do not read and remove this part of the letter I have plenty of ideas...

    Private Tales Light After Dark

    Dear Audreyn, I apologise for the delay in this letting. I admit that it took me some time to come around to writing a coherent reply. That, I think, is a nice way of admitting that I lost my temper and shattered my ink well. I have not the time nor funds to have my floor replaced but that...

    Private Tales Light After Dark

    Dear Audreyn, I have been hoping that perhaps you have been practicing your quillmanship or have been nervous of putting your thoughts down in ink and having them sent to me. As time has passed I have come to realise that this is wishful thinking on my part. I suspect instead that it is the...

    Letters Letting Go

    Dear Audreyn, I have been hoping that perhaps you have been practicing your quillmanship or have been nervous of putting your thoughts down in ink and having them sent to me. As time has passed I have come to realise that this is wishful thinking on my part. I suspect instead that it is the...

    Open Chronicles We Built This City on Muck and Souls

    "I seem to remember a much younger orc who thought me back then," Gerrard replied, raising one silver brow. He smiled despite his sharp tone. "Though it is long enough since I was a student and my memory is not what it was." The bard seemed determined to continue and he mire held a scent that...
