The wind played games with Venanin's silver blond hair as it danced across the open planes. The odd cloud cast long shadows across portions of the grassland as if staking claim of their territories, or perhaps showing compassion on the creatures that dwelt beneath the burning gaze of the too...

It had been for Vel Anir. At least that's what the young Dreadlord had told themself when they had set out for this quest. The small band of soldier's that had volunteered had been mostly wiped out my the brigands they had faced. The remainder had been killed to keep the secret of what they had...

Venanin walked into the cabin with everyone else. Sat down randomly next to the quiet girl in the corner and watched. The light was dim here. The candles unlit while the sun beamed in through the far window of the ship. Perhaps it wasn't dim, just the brightness of the sun was so intense it...

They didn't have to say it twice. Ven had wanted to go back anyway. The apprentice pushed passed people as they began becoming more and more aggressive. "Cowards." Venanin said with something almost resembling emotion. Venanin increased pace and pushed farther. The silvered bastard sword...

Venanin let the arm holding the bow drop back down as the apprentice looked back at the woman. Lavendar eyes assessing whether she too had to fall. The bear lay motionless, life blood soaking the dark loam and detritus of the forest floor. It wasn't the most honorable kill in a warrior's...
