"I have been through worse." She smiled, but it wasn't to show any cheer. It was the same old story, the ones Dreadlords of old and new would know and understand. The reality of having to keep going, even if you cannot. Zephyrine had been exploited and used by the Academy for years, to push her...

Zephyrine pulled herself up some more, moving to go sit beside Ivan and grimace at the moonshine. "You gave me a taste of this at my birthday party." She remembered, and recalled how it burned, scratched, and stung all the way down. "I'd say drink enough of this and you won't feel the bottom of...

Her gaze lifted, looking through the many holes in the ceiling and roof. She stared, allowing her eyes to adjust to the darkness beyond any torchlight, and there she spied Ivan Skender. A smile appeared on her face, a natural reaction she had not time to think over and decipher. "How did...

Zephyrine turned her attention to those left, stalking towards them. Not until she was close did a couple of them stand tall and warn the others she was approaching. "I need metal. Whatever we can disperse on the slope down there." And she told them her plan. The way she spoke was a force past...

Zephyrine had insisted on overseeing cooking their meals that night, accepting the help of a few men that marveled at the ingredients she had brought. Salted meats, plenty of vegetables, and chicken and beef bones for broth. She even had grains and flour, even some eggs. Her horse had carried...

Traps. It was not quite the brief she was often given to work with, but the need to find and create a solution was just how she liked to work. "Alright, traps... I can work with that." She was someone that was able to recreate things, to take what was once broken back to it's original form...

Zephyrine quirked a brow. It was an idea, perhaps one that could be executed in a way that her own magical reserves did not deplete. "What do we know of our enemy? Their numbers, what they have in their arsenal?" She could not recreate people, unable to make illusions appear. Zephyrine worked...

Zephyrine knew that Kristen would oppose the idea, would hope that they all survived to make it back to their camp. There were a good few wounded, wounds that Zephyrine could take time and energy to heal one at a time, but with the reserve of magic she had left, she wanted it to count. Perhaps...

Her brows came together in a furrow, not in distaste of what what explained, but rather the unique fashion this magical solution was to be done. Despite how powerful and fashioned for military combat Dreadlords are sculpted, there are magical practices kept in place to ensure none of them step...

It did not take more than Kristen's presence to draw her near. They had fought side by side earlier, was it a week ago? A fortnight? War waged at all hours of the day, it was hard to pinpoint how much time had passed. Zephyrine had saved them then, had bought them time to retreat and take care...

It was the rhythm of a horse moving at a relentless pace to cut through the quiet of the weakened state that had fallen over the Anirian troops. A prelude to what was to come; a lone rider when a reinforcement had been promised. Mount and rider neared, unharmed in their travel to reach what...

Whenever Ivan played with flattery with her, it always resulted in her cheeks to warm. Even as she felt herself press against him for the merest second, accompanied with that smile promising something cheeky, Zephyrine wondered if they would ever talk about it. If they would figure out what it...

Without missing a beat, Zephyrine snorted at Ivan's words. Of course, she did note the way he glossed over the fact Valdorren was not their destination, but she figured his eagerness to get the ship done with was absolute paramount. "Wraith it is, Skender, but we will have a camp ground, yes? So...

Someone had collected the reins of her horse before Ivan could lead her elsewhere. Her eyes narrowed as she watched the man lead the stubborn work horse, but the steed relented with little fuss. Ivan now held all her attention. He did not speak, nor did she. Training had her listening and...

Again, that flush of heat settled in her cheeks. The way he looked down at her, those captivating eyes reflecting ice and warmth at the same time only pulled her into staring back at him with words unsaid. She wore a smile, one she could not seem to be rid of as Ivan had thanked her for the...
