“I’m sorry James, this is all I can give you.” the Shopkeeper said sadly, as he handed the scrawny boy 2 half-rotten apples. “I wish I could do more for you, but I’m barely making it myself. Try asking the baker, he might have some stale bread.” “No, I under...

Nearly 3 months passed before the strange woman returned. James had almost forgotten about her, save for the magical chest of food she left for him. The daily large meals had done wonders for getting him back to a healthy weight, and he no longer looked years ...

James was soundly asleep when she finally returned, his knife in his hand. She looked up at the stars and smiled. “I suppose we can just wait it out here.” she said, before sitting next to the boy. “He deserves better, and I will make sure of it.” The rest of ...

It was well past midnight and The Hissing Lobster’s business was winding down for the night. The ever-present Innkeeper had just finished cleaning the last table and was putting out the candles when the front door of the inn clicked open. A small child-like wo...

Hours later, as the meeting grew to a close, Eigengrau called for silence. “Gentlemen, it is time. We must remove Vordea’s shackles.” Eigengrau said, gesturing to the white chains on Vordea’s arms. “Vordea, it is time to announce your return. Let us reconven...

“Next please.” the Customs Officer called out as he stamped the traveller’s documents and motioned to the exit. A woman with a white and blue cloak stepped forward. Her face was completely covered by her hood. “Ma’am, you need to remove your hood. I can’t see ...

“What’s going on?” a man asked a guard stationed outside the sealed Customs Office. “We’ve been waiting here for nearly 2 hours.” “Even I don’t know.” the guard replied with a shrug. “All I know is there’s an extremely dangerous wanted criminal who’s gettin...

“Really now your majesty, did you have to come down here in person?” Sirene asked, lounging on a chair in the Customs Office. “I know the letter you sent to the Inn, good idea by the way, said this was important, but I didn’t know it was this important otherwi...

Once the door shut to the private office, Sirene removed her hood, and sat down in the guest chair. The Customs Officer began to look through the documents. “I need to verify the documents and fill out some blank entries, so I’ll ask you some questions, ma’...

“Thank you all for attending at such short notice.” The Headmaster said as he started the faculty meeting. “As I’m sure you’re aware, I’m holding this meeting to discuss the titanic surge of power we felt from the Dragontail Mountains 2 days ago.” “Do we ha...

Vordea was walking through Dragonbone Pass when she felt the spell. At first, she was unsure what it was, then realized. “Why, that must be Little Neptis!” she said out loud. “Hm. Maybe she can help me. Vaust was infuriatingly unhelpful on finding a mage....

Back at the University, Neptis was having no luck. Sighing, she opened her eyes. “It doesn’t seem she wants to respond.” “So what do we-” Demeter was interrupted as reality split open and Vordea appeared in the room in a surge of power. “Well, what do we...

The screams of terror that emanated from the staff room lasted for nearly half an hour, the staff too terrified to open the door and see what awaited them inside. They reasoned it was between the Goddess and her Priestess, and would rather wait for it to subsi...

It was a cool late autumn afternoon in the Dragontail Mountains, and The Hissing Lobster was as crowded as ever. The Innkeeper was busy as usual, preparing lunches, dinners, drinks, and everything in between. Someday he was going to hire some help, he thought ...

The graveyard behind The Hissing Lobster was a strange place. It was the final resting place of anyone who died in the Dragontail Mountains, and many tombstones did not have names on them, as they were found in desolate areas already long dead. Eigengrau visit...

While the arguments continued, Vaust pulled Sirene off into a corner to have a chat with her one on one, away from the noisier Gods. He handed her a bottle of beer, opening one up for himself. "So what are your thoughts?" Vaust asked as he took a sip. "The th...

The rest of the meeting proceeded quickly once the solution came up. The particulars of the plan were put in place, and Eigengrau’s interaction petition was approved by the Gods. Once the petition was wrapped up, the rest of the agenda was discarded and they p...

The rest of the winter passed slowly, but without incident, Sirene deciding to spend more time helping out Vaust with the running of the Inn, giving him more time to just lounge around and relax. Sirene seemed to enjoy surprising travellers who recognised her,...
