    "Wre chropa wud futr toil." The Orc-like creature seemed to slowly put together Zana's words, replying to her half in his own tongue, and half in a quick drawing on the floor besides where Talus had made his offer of friendship. The language barrier slowly began to break down as the two...

    "At lu del win!" The man replied almost instantly in a panic, his words clearly denoting the fact that he did not wish to be here. Fear playing across his features as he looked from Talus to Zana in sheer and utter terror. Almost as if expecting to die. And yet, even with the language barrier...

    The orc-like man froze, his legs comically splayed out in a sprint. His hands shaking and immediately snapping to his legs. Fingers wrapping around his thighs as he tried to force them to move, Talus nearly cursing into a laugh as he watched him almost topple over from the effort. ”Take it...

    Talus nodded his head, taking a deep breath. At home there was not truly much call for the use of his magic, in fact he tried to not use it more often than not. Though their gifts were a privilege, and the twins used their magic more naturally than he ever could, it was important to remember to...

    Talus glanced over his shoulder. "Probably." His magic worked quickly, phase-walking was faster in some ways than even the speediest Dreadlords. On the other side Talus was not bound by the laws of physics, nor the limitations of the human body. He had never once taken someone unwillingly to...

    A frown pulled at Talus’ lips as he observed the others. His head shaking slightly as Zana offered her thoughts on the strange orc like creatures. Maybe Orcs, changed somehow. The Delta was not too far from the Blightlands. The Wylds blocked the way of course, but he had heard tell of blue orcs...

    Talus gave a weary nod as they continued to trek through the jungle. His mind half set on Zana's words, and half on searching through the thicket of vines and tropical trees. The humidity was already causing a thin sheen of sweat to draw across his skin, and he could practically feel the air...

    Talus rolled his shoulders as he once again stood on the sweet earth beneath his feet. For a second he simply reveled in the feeling, but tried not to make it too obvious. The Great Dragon was already lamenting the possible fate of it's kin, and he would not rub his momentary joy into it's...

    The Delta. Talus had never visited the place, though like every other Initiate had read more than enough. The Naga were one of the larger boogeymen the Proctors had used when eliciting the hatred of other species. He could still recall much of the reading about their raids on Alliria and other...

    Talus followed along quickly, saying his goodbyes to Brigitte and offering her a small word of warning. He knew that she was up to the task, he would not have left her here if he did not, but he still didn't enjoy leaving. As Lyra and Alec grew, their magic would only get stronger. A fact which...

    The rest of the night was spent following the whims of the twins. Unfortunately for both Zana and Talus, the two children were intelligent, they knew their parents would be leaving, and they knew with that fact came guilt. A feeling they could then very easily take advantage of in order to both...

    Talus hesitated only for a brief moment. There was no lying to Zana of course, little mistruths could fly here and there, but bigger things could always be seen through. It was a fact of their bond, the magic that kept them within one anothers minds. They had long ago figured out that trying to...

    There hadn't been a unicorn, thankfully. The last time they had summoned one of those things it had taken hours to get it out. Neither he nor Zana had ever figured out how Lyra, or Alec, had managed that one. The beasts were magical in their own right, and summoning one was difficult even with...

    Talus smiled, taking the affection of Zana's kiss and watching as she slowly began to slip away from him. His eyes settling on the curve of her rear as she swayed her hips and moved towards their bedroom up the stairs. After a moment of childish ogling, he let out a sigh, head shaking before he...

    ”Probably more with the current track record so far.” Talus grumbled in answer as he quickly rubbed at his eyes. Taking a long breath as he began to steel himself for the days to come. There had never been any doubt that hunting an Archon would be dangerous, but that wasn't what harrowed him...
