“Yeah. Nas is a bit of an asshole, but he’s not too bad. He may just turn the tide of a war one day.” Kael responded. His natural impulse was to deflect attention. He hadn’t intended to fish for compliments, but she had given him one. She didn’t need to. In fact it was probably more socially...

Kael smiled and let out a small chuckle despite himself. “Yes. From initiate and proctor alike. While the Academy has a path for infiltrators, there are many who find it without honor to wear another’s face. Or that it ‘shows a distinct lack of bravura unbecoming of a proper dreadlord to...

Kael followed the girl as the quartermaster gave an amused by slightly bewildered expression. They were making good time to the mess, just about to round the corner, thrn Avery asked a question. And what a question. Kael thought for a moment before responding. “There are some things I can’t...

Kael noted the surprise at which the quartermaster responded to him, but made his way over and stacked his bow and arrows with hers, trying to keep things in a relatively organized fashion. “I try to make or procure as much of my supplies as I can.” Kael responded. “Though it seems I’m not...

Kael let out a laugh. “Yeah, I guess we will.” He allowed a smile as Avery confessed she didn’t know exactly what the meal was she seemed excited for. Kael opened the door and the two walked into wing containing the armory, closing the door behind him. “It’ll be nice to have some warmer...

Avery's response was a bit more revealing than what he remembered at her prior discussion of Pre-Academy life. To have to find one's birthplace on a map? He had noticed the academy was home to several that knew no other. He always wondered how they would adapt to some level of freedom. "How is...

Kael had a shot of whiskey this day. It wasn't much, truth be told, but Kael also had the alcoholic fortitude of a man just over three foot tall, and about forty pounds wide. In other words, a goblin. So when Saderzaine Vult tried to talk him out of a fight, well Kael wasn't as responsive as he...

"Fish hunh? I don't think I've had fish since coming to the academy." Kael responded, affirming her thoughts. He'd caught and tasted fish before, but not in some time. He noticed a slight change in Avery's demeanor at the mention. "Is fish a common meal where you're from?" He asked. There were...

The two continued at pace and Kael discovered that the woman had apparently not eaten. Part of him thought this was his fault, but after she opened a bit more he realized it was more typical of her. She likely trained the ability to go without food far more than most at the academy. Kael stopped...

Kael pulled the girl up, fighting the pain in his back and helping her to a solid stance. He had noticed the initial hesitation, and the hesitancy with which she admitted the pain she was feeling. Were she a couple feet shorter with green skin they might not be so different. “Yeah, it’s getting...

Kael shot Basmarc a look at the comments of Roza, but he couldn’t say he was wrong. Firstly because he couldn’t speak and keep his cover, and secondly because he noticed Roza deliberately drop the ‘ex’ line. Though he was loathe to admit, he had skimmed the book Kilien had sent him and had a...

Kael moved from target to target pulling arrows. While the strength was there, he felt his back complain at every arrow pull. Kael got closer as they pulled more arrows, overhearing the comment of hearts of hearts and wood just before the girl planted on her rump. He went over to her and got to...

As Avery huffed it to targets to retrieve arrows, Kael shifted forms to a bird and began to fly upwards towards the lightning-kissed tree. After three wingbeats he began to shift back to human form and drop, but willed himself back to bird and made his way to the skyward arrows. Wing wrapped...

While the war with Cortos was most present on the western edges of Anirian aligned territories, that was not to say it went unnoticed at home. The capital city had ramped production of all manner to supplies, from armaments to aid in combat, to shoes for horses, to barrels for supplies. Taverns...
