    Private Tales The Light at the End

    Maura made sure to look suitably aghast at the accusation that she had turned his horse to ash. That is preposterous was clearly written on her face as she looked at the Lord Marshall. She narrowed her eyes at Olem when he finally convinced the other man to move the inquest to tomorrow. Sly...

    Maura had to admire the soldiers stubbornness. He was really trying to buckle down and get her back to Vel Anir. She had to give him some credit. He was trying. "She don't look very dangerous, who exactly is she?" Maura smiled sweetly and widened her eyes to give the look of innocence at the...

    A smug smile crossed her lips as she already started to work out a plan in her head. She just needed to make contact with the earth or any other body. She could unalive one easily enough if needed. The Lord Marshall nodded and turned to lead the Dreadlord and his prize to the prison. It was...

    "He's lying," Maura growled when Olem pulled the order from his bag. "That is not me, I have been trying to tell him that but he won't listen!" Maura really hoped that there wasn't a drawing of her on there but if there was then it would be a terrible one. It was really her only hope in this...

    Maura had stayed surprisingly quiet throughout their journey. She had nothing left to say so now she just waited. Soon she would kill him and make her escape. "Try not to speak." Maura narrowed her eyes with a huff at his order. What was he going to do? Gag her and carry her? That would look...

    "You are a terrible liar," Maura quipped when he mentioned that he was paid plenty by the Guard. That was one big load of bullshit. She had nothing else to contribute so she just hung silently and closed her eyes. Eventually, she started to see people and she contemplated yelling for help but...

    Maura growled as he shifted her and her fingers lost contact with her bindings. Asshole, she thought as she tried to get her fingers back in their previous position. "Fine...you are the muscle...I get it," she growled at him. Her mind was racing as she tried to figure out how to get out of...

    Maura growled and tried to squirm out of his arms. She was clearly failing at it and finally give up with that method. "What are you gonna do, Dreadlord? Bring me back to your weak little city? Please do, it is easier to kill them if I am there with them." There was a slightly maniacal laugh...

    Maura was not sure how long she had been out but she woke with a start. Pain lanced through her body and it was punctuated with every step as she bounced against the metal beneath her. Metal. It all came back in that moment and she tried to struggle against him. The asshole had made sure her...

    One skeleton blindly flew at Olem while the other bent down to try to undo her bounds. Unfortunately, with her power stripped from the beings, it was mostly bones shifting and no progress being made. It was a moment or so before the skeleton that was trying to free Maura fell over and broke into...

    Maura didn't move as Olem tied her hands with the rope he had procured. Thanks to her bloody face, the only way someone would know she was alive was by watching the shallow rise and fall of her chest. Meanwhile, four reanimated skeletons trudged through the forest from different directions to...

    Private Tales The Light at the End

    Maura believed she was better than most people. She had always believed it, in fact. It was something that the Proctors would tell her while she was at the Academy. There was no time for the weak and she would never be weak. She had always been the best in order to survive and because she liked...

    Maura was ready to attack the knight with his own sword but then it started to glow. It did not scare her but it did cause her to get distracted from watching Olem and getting ready for his attack. Her head was cocked to the right as she studied the blade. Unfortunately, it had completely...

    Maura's eyes shot to where she had heard the clanging of metal against the hard ground. She had him now. She started to stalk in the direction of the sound and soon her eyes were regaining their normal vision again. She could see the giant sword laying on the ground as the armored man struggled...

    Maura thought she was silent as she moved closer to Olem but she saw the moment he located her and launched his next attack. She tried avoid this one but he had sent the cloud of dust right to her. It hit her like a ton of bricks and she closed her eyes as she coughed. She liked playing with...
