Slowly, carefully, Talmanes pulled himself up. Drawing Tigris and Trista with him so that the three of them were arranged in a small pyramid. The Tyrian's behind them slowly floated around, some whispering of what had just happened in fear and others as though it were nothing less than a...

Murmurs echoed out among the crowd, whispers that sounded almost like a song. Beneath the sound of their speech the scrape of Talmanes' boots echoed out, his steps seeing him scramble forward as he practically leaped to Tigris' and Trista's side. Desperate relief flooded through him the moment...

Talmanes lay upon his knees, his face a mask of horror and fear. Gone, at least for now, was the confident Prince. The criminal mass murderer. The monstrous madman. There now was only a man fearing to lose what little he had left. The runes began to glow all around them. Each droplet of...

"TIGRIS!" His voice boomed through the chamber, echoing out as she was thrown into a nearby wall. The thud of her bodies impact sending a jolt of panic and rage through Talmanes. Already in it's death throes, the Nhaaz'Khar bucked left, right, and howled in pain as blood spilled from it's...

Tal stood for only a second, bewildered by what he saw. Instantly, a thousand questions flickered through his mind, a thousand answers coming almost directly on their heels. He had theories, ideas, all woven from stories long ago told. But none of them would help them now. Not in the moment...

"Stay here!" Talmanes shouted at Tigris, not wanting her to get involved in the fight to come. His grip tightened on the dagger, and he quickly flicked his gaze across the square below. The Nhaaz’khar, a drake in the parlance of the common tongue, ripped itself free from the crevice. It clawed...

Good Luck, friend We'll be here

As the Caravan outside began to move through the gates, Talamanes and Trista walked through a relic of their ancestors. Despite the rubble that had been laying outside the building, the small gatehouse remained relatively intact. Though cracks ran through the ancient black stone and a few of...

Miles yet they still had to go before they would reach the home of their ancient kindred. The city proper stretching beneath mountains and through ancient dormant volcanoes until it eventually crested into the tall black towers that stood as an echo of how Tyr itself was now built. Yet the...

"There is nothing to apologize for." He told her softly. His words whispered so quiet that only she would hear. He knew the burden of loss. The weight of death. For it was his choice to have taken them here. It was his will that had seen them to this path. Ferrin had been her family, and...

Talmanes fell to his knees. The power washing over him like a tidal wave. It suffused every muscle and bone in his body. Pushing him down as though the gods themselves had sought to bring him low. A gasping breath drew into his lungs as the intensity of it passed. Pin-pricks and needles...

Talmanes looked to Ferrin as he stepped up, his featured tightening as the blade in his hand steadied, and then was placed on the side of the Chalice. Voices began to raise, dozens of Tyrian's speaking all at once. Some stepping forward, some stepping back. Even some of the Caravan stepped...

For a moment, he watched Trista as she extended her hand. The faith which she showed him, the trust that lay within her very soul. It gladdened him, pressed into him and drew his grip tighter upon the blade. His hand began to extend, reaching towards hers, only to pause as Tigris spoke. "I...

As Tigris' fingers brushed over the surface of the runes, Talmanes watched in silence. A small smile touching his lips as her heard the flicker of Trista's words. "Yes." There was a reverence to his tone, but confirmation too. "This is the gate of Teloth." The furthest outpost of the old city...

Tal did not move from where he knelt. His body shaking with relief, the tension of decades now gone. He could have laughed. He could have cried. He could have sung to the heavens and opened them with the joy he felt within his heart. There were miles still yet to walk. Mountains to overcome and...
