https://images2.imgbox.com/9d/13/pPTuJEV9_o.pngAniria - The Academy In the Old Days, when Liliana had attended the Academy, there had been frequent 'shows' of each Initiate's progress. These displays had been meant as a way for the Great Houses to further study and learn more about each...

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...

https://images2.imgbox.com/b1/76/Eij2VPxz_o.pngVel Anir - Harrowgate Prison "Get in there, freak, and don't let me hear you making any complaints!" The Guard behind Khari shouted as she felt a heavy hand shoving her forward. Three stumbling steps took her into the main yard of Harrowgate...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Anirian Outer Territories Naser snatched the arrow from the air just seconds before it struck. ”See.” He said as he dropped the shaft to the ground. ”I told you we should have gone the other way.” In all fairness to his companion, that particular suggestion hadn't been a premonition. He'd...

https://images2.imgbox.com/ca/44/Ckaqngvh_o.pngThe Black Bay - Aina Tiella "Spooky." Nas said more to himself than the others as he watched the faint image of a man bursting out from one of the windows above. His form flickering and the glass shining in the moonlight. The body sailing for just...

https://images2.imgbox.com/bf/14/jhBWUVNJ_o.pngCortos - Free City of Altera - Warehouse District Altera had always been a place of beauty. Untouched by the ravages of war or the threat of Pirates, the city had maintained something of an accord with nearly everyone who might offer it any threat...

CORTOSI BORDER WAR CAMP AT FORT ETRICH The timing was tight, but possible. And here close to the eve of war marked the most urgent of occasions. Indeed, as the fortunes of war could be the cruelest of all, keen in this instance was the old saying "now or never". Kristen Pirian had upon her...

Kristen Pirian passed through the gates of Vel Stratholm and felt deeply the ache of excitement in her breast. For she waited now just beyond those gates, and she waited to see a familiar face likewise pass through them. A good friend—nay, the best of friends. Zinnia St. Kolbe. It had been...

Livia's return to Vel Anir seemed to be a quiet affair. The months had taken a toll on her mentality, had made things more difficult to return to a life she had once lived. She was now Dreadlord Quinnick, and able to begin her life in the reserves. Some things were still too much to return to...

Cortos - Barcion The old decrepit townhouse seemed to creak as Cenric stepped up to the window. The ancient floorboards so rotted out and ancient that he half thought he was about to fall through. Not that he wasn't used to it. Half of his bodies were scattered in one shit hole or another...

Cortosi Boarder - Fort Etrich Arn had never seen so many people in once place. At least he was pretty sure he hadn't. Standing atop the hill above Fort Etrich really was a sight to see. Just two weeks ago the small alcove pressed against the Baara mountains had been an open plateau, filled with...

Dear Initiate Marcia Your session for additional training will be held in two days time, location pending at Proctor Urahil's discretion. You will be informed on the day where it is you are expected to be present for this training. Kind regards, Proctor Perrine Urahil Winter was...

Sparring, was there anything quite like it? Not only was it a valuable exercise to hone combat skills—the entire cause of their existence—but it was also one of the best methods of releasing pent-up frustration, perfect, given that Marcia was the spirit of frustration poured into a five-foot...

There was theft afoot. Well, that was Marcia's running theory after angrily searching for her compact mirror for four entire seconds with the patience of a Proctor five minutes before lunch. She could have sworn that she had placed it on the bench a few minutes ago before re-lacing her boots...

She was in a box. Not a metaphorical box that might have signified particular walls or barriers put in place that might have reflected poorly on her as a person, but an actual fucking metal box, locked with a padlock and located in one of the Academy's storage rooms alongside training dummies...

Skrr...krr...krrrr. The sound of the training dummy dragging behind Saderzaine had a strangely calming effect on him as he paced towards an open area in the forests just near the institute. In reality, though, he was far from feeling normal. As his journey continued along, Sader couldn't help...
