"A wish?" Mae knew better than to test the patience of an Archon but sometimes her magic could be... exaggerated by overeager Proctors looking for political favors or coin. It would do no one any good if she went away with this Archon only for her magic to fail. But then she steadied her...

Dreadlord Academy - Roughly Seven Years Ago Every muscle in her body burned and her legs felt like they were starting to wobble. They’d been doing drills for hours now but despite the pain and fatigue she hoped that the Proctors would keep them on drills until at least sunset. Maybe that’d...

"Fear of God?" Mae looked at the slumping vampire that was pushed in her direction before nodding. These things were cursed beings but their curse also gave them a twisted gift. Immortality. Of course, that immortal life that awaited them was contingent upon not getting themselves killed...

Mae considered Ed's questions and to her credit she even listened to Gaage's suggestion. He spoke sense. The vampire they'd isolated was wailing, seemingly oblivious to their entire conversation. Mae doubted that the leader Edric had slain was controlling them all but there was no denying...

Mae rushed up towards the rooftop as fast as she could. Explaining Edric's death to Gilram wasn't something she envied doing and from the ground it seemed as if the younger Dreadlord was struggling to keep up with the vampire that had likely lived a half dozen lifetimes. Instead, right as her...

To their credit, Fermin and Gaage were doing a fine job holding off the non-stop crash of vampires. Just as Mae thought they were about to be overwhelmed Fermin would behead one of their foes, Gaage would rip the fangs from another. While the next batch of Dreadlords were clearly morons who...

More of the fanged creatures assaulted them and their little group seemed to be holding up. But, the attacks were growing more ferocious and their numbers never quite seemed to thin. As Mae shoved her estoc through the maw of another vampire she heard Edric call her name and her magic swept...

The odds were, to put it simply, bad. Not impossible by any means but certainly not a walk in the park. If they were to survive this encounter it'd be as a result of her assigned exiles performing to the top of their ability, a reality she knew even as she steeled her nerves to the incoming...

Mae nodded at the intention to glide and before she could think up a plan Jinx did the unthinkable. Eyes bulged in shock and she shook her head in disapproval. "You should be more specific in your wishes, we could end up with," her words died in her throat as a giant talon grasped Mae and...

"We just need to get clear of this place," Mae said while securing the chalice. Chas had done well to guide them towards an exit, and she'd done even better to slow down the guards which pursued them. Whenever they reached safety she planned to make it a point to praise the translucent girl...

Mae caught the chalice and held it firm. Perhaps the choice to pose as noble ladies was a poor one as such an outfit didn't leave room for a satchel to store the cup. "Doesn't matter where it takes us, we just need to get outside." Castle Aubert was going to be on high alert after the mess...

Fermin hesitated for a second, likely alarmed by the speed of the beast. Even Mae hadn't been prepared for it and a part of her was amazed that Edric had managed to wrangle the creature's wrist on her second swipe. She drew her blade and prepared to intercept, unsure if someone with Ed's kind...

Fermin's words elicited a deep sense of disappointment in Mae. The stories they had of Rostev never said much about the fog but the fact it didn't just limit sight was concerning. "We should stay alert in ca-," she immediately stopped speaking as the woman's sobs pierced the quiet of the...

A grin materialized upon Mae's face as the boy gave them what they had wanted. She began to move forwards, behind Jinx, satisfied that they'd be able to grab the chalice and get out without this mission being a compelte waste. They'd have to simply let Gilram know what happened and hope that...

Mae sat silently through much of their time at the tavern. Listening to the trio banter, overhearing conversations of residents, indulging in no more than the initial drink she was given. Once the quartet departed for the streets of Restov she couldn't help but think Fermin had been right...
