  2. Cormund Augur

    Fate - First Reply Over the shingled roof

    Dormitory Rooftop-The Academy-11 PM Cormund overlooked the remote scenery surrounding the academy. Being almost midnight, it was nearly silent now save for those forced to stay out late to train by their proctors. That, and the ever constant noise buzzing through his head. The sounds of screams...
  3. Cormund Augur

    Private Tales A Newly Shared Pain

    Cormund Augur had places to be. It was clear to see by his pace through the hallways, rushing past regal paintings and busts of long dead Dreadlords. He looked left and right in his trademark paranoid manner, luckily alone in this particular hallway. He was having unfortunately very personal...

    Dreadlords In the Eyes of Others

    Spring had arrived, but the cold winter chill still clung to the early hours of the morning, waiting to be warmed in the sun that was still rising above the treetops of the woodland behind the Academy. One's breath could be seen in the air, but the Initiates in the class two years from...
  5. Perrine Urahil

    Fable - Ask Manners To Teach

    She heard it all within the past week of her arrival to the Academy; Initiates complaining that an extra class had been added to their schedules so late in the year. Even when it was announced Etiquette classes would not have any exams, it did not make many cheer with joy. Proctor Urahil did...
  6. Zinnia

    Completed The Cost of Closure

    Days had passed since the news had dropped. Caeso, the once proud noble heir of House Diemut, mutilated and strung up dead for all Vel Anir to see. "The elves did it!" That's what so many had said. That he'd been captured and tortured by those given shelter within the elven quarter as some sort...
  7. Kristen Pirian

    Private Tales Nenikēkamen

    Initiate Kristen Pirian would soon have before her the test which would determine whether or not she would even be eligible to graduate this year. Her guiding Proctor, Proctor Andre Magomo, stressed mightily that physical training was the most important thing for an Initiate to work on. In his...
  8. Salak

    Private Tales First Contact (Evie)

    Frustration was always a reckless emotion for Salak, more so now that it was compounded by what he could only perceive as recklessness and on the part of a Proctor no less. He had barely finished the reports on some of the so called lessons that this particular Proctor had devised when he was...
  9. Zinnia

    Fate - First Reply Quieter Nights at Home

    Cool, winter evenings, strong winds, and a bit of late night free time were exactly the right elements to produce one of Zinnia's favorite kind of nights. Missions were where some of the initiates always wanted to be, he that for adventure or excitement or experience. Others liked to spend their...

    Private Tales Kristen the Impaler

    "Do you understand," said Proctor Magomo, leaning in dangerously close, "what it is you're asking me?" Kristen stood rigidly at attention in his office in the Proctors' Building of the Academy. She was keenly aware that the door behind her was closed. "Yes," she said, her voice quiet but...
  11. Perla Irven

    Dreadlords Traces of Death

    The Academy Laboratory, Vel Anir A mission had been recently assigned to a certain set of students. In the countryside of Vel Anir, there were two deaths both caused by a peculiar unknown disease. Both victims were decent soldiers of the military and the deaths were suspected to have been...
  12. Caeso Diemut

    Dreadlords Big Brothers

    "No," said Caeso. The Guard Captain, Warren Odal, smiled thinly to the big Initiate sat before him. "I'm afraid you don't have any choice." Fifteen minutes ago, Caeso had been walking to the Proctors' Building, a place which once inspired fear in every Initiate. It still did, but not as much...
  13. Z

    Fable - Ask The Last Day

    THE ACADEMY TRAINING GROUNDS "I'm not too worried about it," Zael said, spinning his sword around in his hand. It was the last day before graduation for the senior class of the Academy. The dying light of the sun was in the west. Surprisingly, it had been a day devoid of much for them to do...
  14. Evangeline

    Fable - Ask The Fractures

    Proctor D'Amour inhaled deeply, steeling herself as the air rushed into her lungs. A dossier had been laid before her just two days prior. Mars Pallatrix, her senior, her peer, had wordlessly laid it before her with a look that stretched beyond his usual stern stoicism. The file had a simple...
  15. Kristen Pirian

    Private Tales Consequence

    Kristen sat in the infirmary of the Academy. Her arms she had held together, helplessly staring at their symmetry. Symmetry, that was, until it came to the wrist of her right arm, where the hand above was no more. Bandages concealed the stump. Yet underneath, she knew, there lay a most horrid...

    Open Chronicles The Panacea to Fragility

    The morning was reminiscent of a bucolic fantasy as a lazy yet bright sun beginning it’s ascent in the sky. The sky was awake with a few white clouds that decorated the seamless blue. A gentle breeze that delivered cool area, swaying the tall grasses, verdant leaves, and bright blooms. Birdsong...
  17. Kristen Pirian

    Completed Reconcile

    A loud bang, like a door being slammed shut. Kristen would awake, a touch groggy, but immediately she would take in her surroundings. The room was square, sparse, and dark, save for a sole lantern which hung above the table where she was sat and out of reach. Sat across from her was another...
  18. Kalix

    Fable - Ask Tiger and Bunny

    “OUT OF MY WAY EXTRAS, TOUGH GUY COMING THROUGH!” Everyone knew by now that when one was in the hallway and Kalix was also in the hallway that they either moved or would be knocked down. Many moved out of the rambunctious initiate’s way as he furiously stormed through the hall, a feverish look...

    Private Tales There Will Come A Reckoning

    "It's there! There! See it?" "I see it!" "Loose! Loose arrows! A volley of arrows streaked under Lessat and Pneria, and the creature spotted at the outskirts of Vel Numera was felled. * * * * * Kristen Pirian, as was quite usual for her, was stressed. Not because she'd been told about this...

    Fable - Ask Fumbles and Foibles

    DAY ONE You have one week, Initiate Pirian. One week! One week! Just seven days to discover a whole new spell from her magic, practice it, and use it in a spar with another Initiate and win with it. Proctor Magomo often asked of her to overcome things which she thought insurmountable, he...
