Don't ask where we got them...might as well have been code talk for shoes pulled from a dead body. And had they been mixed in during war time, Rain wouldn't have second guessed the offer presuming the presence of a good sole and decent arch support. But outside of desperate times, he wasn't...

He let out an almost inaudible sigh as he heard mention of the eclipse. It was an odd phenomenon, often to blame for many a strange occurrences. Old lore would have some believe that an eclipse was a signal for abandonment, a way for the gods to crack open the barrier between planes and exact a...

Rain agreed with her assessment but let silence follow as the mysterious figure hobbled off in a different direction. Weird was the world they lived in now. Between the ancient vampire underneath streets of a well established city and interacting with a barber surgeon who was well beyond what he...

Darnhesh had the trappings of the standard port town but lacked the same aesthetic of what Rain had come to expect in the back and forth journeys that spanned Alliria and Elbion. He couldn't quite place it but he got the impression that there was a very fine line here between stranger and...

Rain watched the man stumble and walk away, spying over his shoulder once he had reached a safe distance. His clothing wasn't exactly the same stylings as what was found in Alliria or Elbion, but it was easy enough from context to discern the common professions. Fishing, agriculture, religion...

They left the vessel unceremoniously. Terzine and the Captain were nowhere to be found and for those who did meet their gaze, it was a weather beaten and sunburnt lot. Some where pulling anchor line, others were working on a second coat on the planks. All of them look relieved to see the two...

Rain watched her quietly, moving through the act of dressing as precisely as any other muscle memory activity. His joke landed just about where he expected, flat and without much consideration beyond irritation. How quickly things had turned cold and all it took was three knocks on a rickety...

As she moved away from him, in response to the knocking of some subordinate of the Captain and Terzine, Rain exhaled and pressed his head into the sheets where her presence and warmth still lingered. Every time, he thought. The sun had somehow caught up with them and his lingering regrets and...

The Vedymin nodded knowingly, though it was as close to a pleasantry as one could muster. He knew very little of the other Yeagir's affliction, just as few understood his own in anything beyond a passing glance. It almost seemed a theme for those who chased the night, to carry a burden or curse...

The old hunter tilted the earthen cup back and forth on the wax spattered table, mixing the blood and hooch concoction with a distinct laziness. His golden eyes reflected a bit of the humor he felt in this odd reunion, both between hunters and between hunters and their keepers. He already knew...

“You stink of him, you know? Like a cut you refuse to clean, for fear of it reopening.” The old man, pale and jaundiced with teeth as sharp as razors, spoke for a moment before coughing up spittle. “You know who I mean, boy. The progenitor, the mountain from which we all crumble. It is…” He...

Rain got the impression that Gannis was being a bit optimistic in his regard on this whole endeavor. If the old hunter was being truthful, he was starting to lose hope that this would come to a fruitful conclusion at all. When they were given the gifts from the Elves, it had felt like a...

The caretaker moved deftly and defiantly as he spun his blades upward and outward, as if they were connected to his very hands. Fanning outward, he stepped right as the monstrous beast brought a giant sword, made of frozen steel, down towards him. It struck the ground where he once was, sending...

Thread is continued here.

They came in all sizes, all forms. Some had powers and some had none. And it was said that the snow had followed them down the peak. But in the end, it was them the brought the snow. And they came with a wail and a shriek." -The Caretaker The visitors that had ascended to Urngor Orhim were...
