    Journal Ruminations

    RUMINATIONS I am troubled by an idea which threatens to shatter my whole world. This idea, a black thought born from a mire of malice and despair, is far from having true credence. Yet it persists. And it persists because I know, deeply, that the pristine faith I once held has sustained scar...

    Open Chronicles Just One More

    Cortos - Lagala In times of war, there are only two types of people. Those that take lives and those that save them. The good news is you get to choose which one you are. - Arturo Nevarre Those words were still fresh as they were spoken when Felix left his father's clinic, telling him that he...

    Private Tales Hate or Glory

    "We're losing light," came the quiet observation from Euan Cawdor. He was an unassuming boy, cursed with a youthful face, narrow frame, and the thick eyelashes of a particularly bashful cow. From a single glance, you wouldn't have guessed that he was a Dreadlord Initiate, trained to be the...

    Open Chronicles Too Late

    Cortos - Kallea Forest https://images2.imgbox.com/36/1c/4y5I3LuB_o.jpg "Shit." Naser said as he slowed his gait, boots carefully avoiding the pools of blood which he had been too busy looking afar to notice. Hand grasping one of the larger trees to not step upon one of the corpses he did see...

    Open Chronicles The March of War

    Cortos - Bara https://images2.imgbox.com/97/94/PycjHRbI_o.jpg "Get down." Arn said as he grabbed a fellow guardsmen's pack and practically ripped her down out of the sight line. Just seconds later a bolt went whizzing through the open space and tacked into the far wall. Lola's eyes stared wide...

    Private Tales This Way, Ma'am

    Aniria - Weiara https://images2.imgbox.com/40/db/aA1GHsmw_o.jpg Takoda As far as assignments went, this wasn't a bad one. Weiara was a quaint little seaside town by the standards of House Weiroon. They had built it as as a seaside resident. Over the years the castle that was their manor had...

    Letters Hey Bud!

    Marci, I hope my handwriting's not too pad. "Ma taught me when I wus young, that an spellin'. She always did make sure I had my letters. Never really saw the point until now, but I'm glad I can write to ya. My folks hear from me every now and again' too, but it's different. Pa did his service...

    Private Tales Ransacked

    Aniria - Licania "Wow." Nas said as they crested the small hill just outside of Licania. "It's even more boring than I thought it would be." The small town, if it could even be called a town, was situated just forty miles south of Vel Anir. Licania was nothing special when compared to a dozen...

    Private Tales A Quiet Conversation

    Aniria - Eridia https://images2.imgbox.com/5f/2c/oJvcWzYB_o.jpg Vel Anir was no longer safe for him. Edric knew that. Knew that every time he returned he risked not just prison, but a fate far worse. His crimes were numerous and the authorities would like nothing more than to see him caught...

    Dreadlords A String to Cut

    Cortos - The Isle of Kelrin https://images2.imgbox.com/b1/76/Eij2VPxz_o.png "Don't like these others none, Boss." Vis whispered quietly to his Lieutenant, eyes flickering over towards the group of Initiate's and Dreadlords perched on the other side of the small ship. His lieutenants words...

    Fable - Ask The Disappearance of Ghislaine

    Vel Anir | Beauchene Estate | Reception Room The room which Kael found himself held a wealth he had never truly experienced before. The tables were carved from a deep red wood, fine and polished. The glass containing the water he was served was slender and ornately built in a way that split...

    Private Tales A wrong turn and a blind alley

    “Even in the depths of the city, the brutalist architecture is always in view...” The man whispered as he stood against the wall of the alleyway, stone expertly placed and shoddily maintained. Looking across from him stood a man that seemed to be shrouded almost entirely in darkness, standing by...

    Private Tales Broken Fingers

    Cortos - Kortes; Outskirtshttps://images2.imgbox.com/9e/5f/jXW6UqyY_o.png "P-please." The word, if one could even call it that, was barely audible. In the din of dock-works just outside the warehouse one would have had to shout to even have a chance of hearing anything at all. Which of course...

    Completed The Reward of Loyalty

    CORTOSI BORDER WAR CAMP AT FORT ETRICH The Lord Banick had a devil's luck. For Garron had not himself planned to have impeccable timing, yet it fell into his lap anyway. Fortune, it would seem, eloped often with the wicked. * * * * * Kristen Pirian went about the camp with a demeanor of...

    Private Tales Black Strings

    Vel Anir - The Gutters Norah There were few things in this world that put Nas off from his perpetual feeling of boredom, but the note he'd received three days ago had certainly been enough. He knew who'd sent it before he'd cracked the wax seal. He knew what would have happened had he not...

    Dreadlords Cordial Affairs

    The dawn of a new year. All across Arethil, celebrations erupted, from obscure savage ceremonies that begged the sun to grace them for four more seasons to the more traditionally observed debauchery to mark the beginning of a new calendar. Even Vel Anir, in all her human-centric glory, was not...

    Private Tales Golden Spoons and Gucci

    Though the beautiful sights before him were unseen, the warm kiss of the sun shined down upon Alistair Krixus, whose dull grey was hidden by a protective pair of glasses. His face failed to hide the slight annoyance from their delay. They should have already arrived by now, but either these...
  20. Bexley Pirian

    Private Tales Mercy Has A Price

    Track and report, that was more or less what her missive stated when she had read it. Bexley drew up the hood to her leather jacket enough that it did not block most of her peripherals, waiting for the partner they assigned her for such a mundane task. If this had been the old days, she would...
