    Private Tales Chasing Shadows

    Oryn's head lolled to the side, an easy, drunken grin spreading across his face. "A complicated little thing, too." he mused, his lips pursing as he considered what he might ask in return. It wasn't often he was owed favours, and so such a decision was not to be rushed. "If I decide to...

    In the depths of despair, Oryn lay battered and bruised on the cold, unforgiving floor of the dank cell he'd called home for these past months.

    Oryn's skin was slick with sweat and splatters of blood on his bare torso as he returned to his little grove.
