“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,...

It had been two weeks since James arrived in Palisade Bay, and he was starting to settle in nicely. Harrod Bearskin, the Innkeeper and his new guardian, had him running errands and doing light work around the inn, because in Harrod’s own words, “an honest day’...

After lunch, the three of them retired to Jakob’s study on the ground floor. It was full of books from all around the world, along with a few of the artifacts he found in his adventures. James noticed a broken chain giving off a soft white glow in a clear box ...

At dinner time, James bid Emma and Jakob farewell, and promised to return the next day, to the delight of Emma. As he walked through the streets of the town, he had a lot of thoughts on his mind. He had no idea his father actually adventured with Jakob Rawlins...

A few weeks later and James, Emma, and Jakob were assembled on the docks getting ready to depart. Harrod had come to see them off, and he was fussing over James like a devoted father. “Don’t forget to eat 3 times a day boy, even if you aren’t hungry.” Harrod...

Harrod was winding down another average day at the Inn. The ships scheduled for the day had been delayed due to storms up north, so it was rather quiet. With no guests currently at the Inn, he was considering closing early when the front door opened and closed...

“Well Neville?” Eigengrau asked. “Thank you, my Lady. Harrod is a good man. Will James grow up okay?” Neville’s spirit asked. “He will still be who he is meant to be, as long as he comes here to Palisade Bay. Harrod, Emma, Jakob, they will all be a good in...

Harrod was returning to town after some business in a nearby village had kept him overnight. No harm he supposed, James wasn’t due back for another week from Tel Hazan, and he had a feeling everything would be okay. While he was thinking what he should make fo...

As the ship pulled in to the dock at Palisade Bay, James could see Harrod waiting for him at the docks. He looked as jovial as ever, and when he spotted James he waved at him. “Go on James, Emma, I’ll arrange for the luggage.” Jakob said to the two youngster...

When they made it to the Inn, they saw a sign at the front that said it was closed today. James thought that was weird, as Harrod almost never closed the Inn. Trying the door, he found it was unlocked, and he and Emma stepped inside. As they crossed the thresh...

"Lady Vordea, the preparations are complete.” Furman Miller, the Head of Displacement Magic at The University held a ledger as he talked. Her black armour seemed to ripple in anticipation. “We are ready whenever you are." Vordea placed her hand on his shoulder...

Vordea arrived on the surface of the moon and looked around. She hadn't been here before, and it appeared just how it looked in the night sky, a barren rocky wasteland. What was Shadry even doing up here? No matter, this was a place with no flimsy mortals to b...

“So how is she, Demeter?” Taenya asked as the Headmaster exited the room. “Still the same.” He replied, shaking his head. “Alive, but completely lifeless. Whatever Vordea did to her completely shattered her mind.” “How long has it been now since she left f...
