"I wasn't recommended for a strong sword arm," Tulio smiled, unphased by the sea witch's scorn. The elf was a journeyman who scoured countless places long forgotten all across the world throughout his years and travels. He made his profession dealing in secrets, rumors, and knowledge. When the...

Noelani || Fieravene || Ashuanar Still attached to Fieravene's hip, the shadowy information broker sat alongside his slender companion. After shifting on the mound of pillows and cushions, the Eleth's long legs crossed over Tulio's lap. "Oh!" Tulio clapped his hands with childlike excitement...

"No need, mate," the elf sang into the Vizier's ear, stepping out from behind the Abtati, and clapped a bloodied hand on the man's shoulder. "There're some injured below deck," said Tulio, his red eyes lingering on Ashuanar before switching to the others, "I'm no fighter, so I helped where I...

"Cheers, mate," sang the ever-smiling elf. And when Fieravene whispered into his ear, Tulio joyfully hummed. As cheers rose in the lounge, so too did the elf's hand in halfhearted triumph. The arm around his woman friend's waist tightened. Oh, how he missed the company of others. Too long had...

Tulio's gaze snapped to Fiera and smiled with straight, white teeth at her. One could say their meeting that night had been coincidental, but those aware of the goings-on with the white-haired elf knew he seldom relied on chance. So many adventures. So many stories, he thought, It's only been a...

"How fine an ass it is," Tulio spoke over the dying laughter, leaning forward from where he lay on the pillows, "And the temple's High Priestess thought so as well. What a shame it was that her sweet voice alerted the guards to my presence within her bedchamber. And so, intending to flay my...

A horrendous sound echoed from outside of the house, distant and faint. Tulio's brows knit together, but each tiny gesture and quirk exuded laconic confidence. The elf smiled. "This is my home," he said, "but you're not quite here. And I'm afraid you can't stay as you are." A second, resonant...

When Delaney pushed the door in, she was greeted by a blinding light, and the room she stepped into was airy and faintly smelled of cinnamon. Across from her, Tulio stood under the doorway leading out to a balcony. Casement windows on either side were open and beyond them was the glittering sand...

Delaney would find herself drifting through nothing, descending in a deep void as there was no ground to set her feet upon. Forever and ever, she would sink if not for a tightening grasp on her wrist that guided her out of that abyss. The Queen of Shadows suddenly fell and hit hard, dark earth...

The ship rocked to and fro with every head that burst from the sea. During the uproar, the vulture perched atop Tulio's absent chair squawked and frantically flapped its wings before taking off and out of sight. Left on the table was a dark feather oozing a dark vapor, which soon dissolved into...

Those around the hole in the warehouse floor unaccustomed to dark and strange places would feel the chill - quite unlike the piercing winds and biting precipitation outside the warehouse, but just as unsettling - as it nipped at the skin. As if coils of dread began to wrap around their minds and...

Okay, fine, hint taken. But the harder people tried to keep things from Tulio, the more he so wanted them. "Well, doesn't make much a difference to me anyway, whether there is one ruler in the world or one thousand." None would hold him down. Or so he often told himself. Though features...

"I did not realize the scope of Fieravene's... influence." The vulture set its beady red eyes on the sand elf. Beak parted, only slightly. "We go back." The vulture blinked.

From its perch on the mainmast, the bearded vulture flapped its wings and circled the table twice. It landed on the empty seat at the table, Tulio's, and cracked open its beak. The elf's voice rolled out: "Fieravene was right to send me." In his experience, she'd rarely been wrong. At least...

"Not of this Court, but another." "A powerful Court?" Tulio, who was very skilled at smiling, inquired. And then there was a gruesome squelch and subsequent thud as Andronius' body slumped in front of the throne. "Ah, but, nowhere interesting until now." "Is this all?" said the challenger...
