    Fable - Ask Of Wheel & Woe [Veithir]

    Veithir pitilessly tugged Thiri along has he darted through the camp. Everything was a blur of tents and torchlights. He heard a shrill hiss, and then horns, and then the hustle and clamor of the clanfolk gathering their arms. He raises his free hand and quickly makes a sign, and points his...

    Fable - Ask Of Wheel & Woe [Veithir]

    With Aethiriin in his grasp and her safety and relative well-being assured, what began to concern him, even more than the horde of lizardfolk that surrounded them, was the child's power. Veithir would have to soothe her nerves. Hah! For him it would be simpler to slay the rest of the clan with...

    Fable - Ask Of Wheel & Woe [Veithir]

    Following Cinpher gave Veithir ample time to think. He thought about his lost sleep and that he'd have to strengthen the brew of his morning tea. He thought about his promise to his friend Nuala, who ages ago was exiled from her sept. Alone and friendless, with no knowledge of the world and...

    Fable - Ask Of Wheel & Woe [Veithir]

    Veithir felt a physical change in the air in the time span of a breath. A tingle, a stimulation caused by ley magic caused him to realize that he came closer to Leaffall only because his approach was permitted. A ward. Hastily erected with a rudimentary application. Veithir had no trouble...

    Fable - Ask Of Wheel & Woe [Veithir]

    For a while, Veithir only thought about the plate he'd left behind on the table. Aethiriin had never eaten so ferociously before. The silverware didn't budge. How long did she stare at it, he wondered, before she decided to tear the meal apart with her bare hands. The girl was surgical in her...

    Fable - Ask Of Wheel & Woe [Veithir]

    Veithir would put his faith in the pet's senses. There were few places worth mentioning to the south. Scattered villages and towns, the nearest being Leaffall. His forked tongue rapidly flicked out into the air and he corrected his course. He, too, would start there. Finding no need to follow...

    Fable - Ask Of Wheel & Woe [Veithir]

    Veithir was dressed and out the door in no time. He wore all black, rarely any other color, and his favored black cape fashioned from a giant shuck pelt that he had hunted ages ago with Baenon. He descended the stairs leading down from his home two at a time, drifting with grace like a specter...

    Fable - Ask Of Wheel & Woe [Veithir]

    Veithir could only blink at where he knew the ceiling was. He preferred sleeping in utter darkness. Curtains drawn closed to block out the moonlight, and his candles, so faintly-scented that one would ask why bother with any scent at all, unlit. It was comfortable that way. And the darkness was...

    Fable - Ask Of Wheel & Woe [Veithir]

    Veithir was reminded of a Duanann's might with young Aethiriin's latest fit. How frighteningly powerful they were with their dominion over the aspects, rules, and concepts that constituted the world. Especially scary was the temper of a girl whose grasp of her power was fickle. It was his...

    The Hound nodded, unsmiling. Though it was far from the detailed feedback he'd often receive from Baenon, he was pleased to hear that it was a passable dish. Veithir contemplated the possibility of accomplishing those two things for a short while. No matter how he approached the issue, it was...

    "Very well," A lengthy pause as he considered how best to carry on the conversation, "Isss the sssoup to your liking? Isss there... anything elssse at all I can do for you? Or get?"

    "Not all Puca are... sssnake-people. There are countlesss tribesss of Puca, all with traitsss unique to them." He awkwardly smiled, "Though, I don't think there are many tribesss that would ssspeak like mine." The afternoon had turned out to be quite the success. Prolonged conversation was...

    Veithir watched in silence as she battled with herself to take the first bite. Then as she dug in, he reached for the book he'd set aside earlier to continue as she ate. The Fae set the tip of his thumb under a line of text and carefully closed the book over it, saving his place. "The people...

    What an odd response. Veithir had never met a person with a distaste for potatoes, and the man himself loved them especially. "Very well. No potatoesss. I shall return." They were a long way from his home, so Veithir made do with a selection of simple ingredients. While he would have liked to...

    Private Tales This Ill Fate

    Though unaware of exactly what it was, Veithir could see from the subtle quirks in her countenance that she bore a great burden. Straining to focus his ears, he could hear the faint beat of her heart and the stressfully urgent pace it beat at. Thus, he felt guilty for posing one last question...
