Rhidian would probably be the first and last to see Mercer in this way. She was laughing and joking, a smile on her face. She and Rhidian had committed to trying to outdrink each other, and it was still unclear who was winning, A laugh of utter amusement at his bewildered expression made her...

Going for Gold Mercer had continued to stand silently as most others paired up, she had always been a lone wolf and it didn't surprise her that she was one now. It didn't matter, she would pass or fail on her own merit. She trailed behind the other initiates as a large chunk of them broke off...

Mercer tilted her head, a teasing smile on her lips. "Artesto is certainly interesting company to have, or so I've heard." She of course was alluding to the rumors that Silas had slept with half the class, certainly an achievement for boyhood. She cared little for sexual escapades and once she...

Mercer had stood at attention, hands clasped behind her back as she waited solemnly for their instructors to provide the next tidbit of information. It was tedious, this whole event, not as cut and dry as other years had been. Even the class before her seemed to have it easier, albeit a ton of...

Mercer cleared her throat and shook her head to clear it. "Being able to talk about it with you has been enough. I appreciate you being willing to listen to my plight. I'm not trying to burden you with it." She took another burning gulp of the amber liquor, handing it back to Rhidian. She had...

Mercer was absolutely not one to bare her soul, but she thought that Rhidian was trustworthy. A friend, hopefully. She hadn't connected with anyone else, in fact, most others actively avoided her. It was her own fault, she wanted to keep them safe. Safety was being far away from her. "Yeah...

Mercer was quiet while he chewed on what she had so easily spoken aloud. She had to give him credit for that, keeping himself collected like that. A skeptical look met him as he declared her to not be crazy. If she had said that to anyone else without them seeing the demon in question, well they...

Mercer was grateful for his company, he was a soldier like her. He got it. She knew she could trust him. Though he did mention hugging. She shook her head, giving him the hint of a smile. "I'll have to hit you of you hug me, can't lose my reputation after all." She did take the bottle though, a...

The demon watched, he made no move, just stood with his soulless eyes. The creature was brought to a painful end, to sink beneath the depths, a feast for the gilled. Silently, he turned away. Mercer would return to control in a while, until then, he had his own agenda. He left the seaside...

Mercer followed him with no objection. She had never spoken of what she lived with, and the only ones that had seen it for themselves..well she wasn't exactly friends with Thraah, and she hadn't seen Zephyrine since. Once outside, she let the breath she held escape in a sigh. The air was cold...

It was dead, and no longer entertaining. The demon released its quarry without further thought, dark eyes following the activity of the docks, toothy maw dripping in blood and saliva. A deep laugh rolled over the expanse of the night, coating those closest with an unexplainable fear. He could...

Mercer have never wanted to trust someone more than she did right now in this moment. Rhidian was a good man, a goofball, but there was something there, something that would grow into a leadership that knew no bounds. Men would fight and die for him one day. This wasn't the first time she had...

Mercer could hear him calling after her, more than once her name floating up the stairs behind her. She paused, one boot still hovering over the last stair. A sigh escaped her sullen lips as she turned around, heavy boots thumping down the wooden stairs. She could see his confused face as she...

Mercer had fallen to a heap, seemingly unconscious. For many heartbeats she lay, broken and defeated. Then, as if on marionette strings, her body lifted from the blood-soaked earth, and inhuman howl ripping through her throat. Her flesh seemed to bubble, burning from the inside out, her skin...

Mercer watched Rhidian with slight awe, he really was captivating. The others were spurred on by his antics, and even the most hardened soldier cracked a smile at him. It was quite the performance, and even she couldn't help but shake her head and grin as he knelt before her. Do not get...
