Lost
Nalaea looked around. Wherever she was, it was not a place she recognized. She hadn't merely shifted herself out of phase with the material plane like she usually did, she had been teleported. She was in a room of some kind, that was certain. The walls were sm...
Return
Jhaan was horrified. Nalaea and the gauntlet both disappeared, and they'd been gone for over an hour at this point. Just what happened to the Captain? Was she dead? Worse? Three of the more mentally unstable rangers were just sitting in a corner, rocking back ...
The Umbral Keep
After Vordea finally left, Nalaea took stock of her surroundings. Opening the door to the bedroom she was in, she found herself in a long hallway with vaulted ceilings that stretched above her. Even the doors were massive, as if the building was constructed fo...
The Library of Riddles
Nalaea screamed in frustration and punched the wall over and over. Of course they wouldn't be in Elven or any human language. She knew that. Of course they wouldn't even be in Dwarven runes, or even Old Dwarven, or not even Imperial Orcish. She knew that. But ...
Soul Magic
Jack arrived to Heather and Marv standing outside the dining hall, looking quite bored. A quick word revealed Rebecca was having a conversation with Hamlin, and a quick listen revealed she was having a morning session. If Heather was bothered by this, he never...
Planning
She always did regard Rebecca with some fondness, Eigengrau thought to herself. She prevented this kalpa's Sirene from descending too far into well-intentioned extremism, and always lusted for power as a means of imposing order and not for her own megalomaniac...
Bloody Catherine
On the way to Stonekeep, Rebecca directed Serge to take them to a nearby town first on the outskirts. Taking only Victoria with her, she found a weathered cottage on the edge of town. It had several no trespassing signs along the outside fence, and a lot of co...
Insurrection
When they reached the city gates, Rebecca was already thinking about what some good last words to say to the King would be. Something about her family? Seemed a bit cliche, but appropriate. However, Kate was clearly annoyed about something, and so she went ove...
Regicide
The palace shook as Rebecca's anger got the best of her. Tearing it apart from the top floor, she thought of her dead nieces and nephew, of the sorrow her brother must have felt. As her rage boiled, her magic spiraled out of control, trees bursting through sto...
Interlude
Not too far above the chaos, Eigengrau and Vordea sat on the highest tower, and watched the fighting unfold below them. Eigengrau was chewing on a fish, while Vordea had opted to just drink spirits. "Quite lively, aren't they?" Vordea said, observing Marvin s...
Victoria Valorian
Ironhand 9886, Ashe Manor Eigengrau watched as Victoria was chained up on the front lawn of the manor. She was disappointed, in a way. An execution wasn't what Victoria deserved, no matter her crimes. No matter, she was already here and Victoria was a vampire...
Regicide, Part 2
Kate was unnerved by the discussion and incident with Victoria inside the closet. She felt like she was being watched by a slavering wolf whenever Victoria looked over at her, despite her appearance. She did notice that no matter how mad Victoria got, she seem...
Regicide, Part 3
Rebecca walked up to the King, and sneered at him. The old man looked as if a stiff breeze would do him in, but the fact he said he'd been waiting eighty years for this made her talkative. "What do you mean by that?" Rebecca asked, motioning for Kate to keep ...
Part 2
The guards were curious at a rusalki emerging from the lake next to Castle Ashe, and decided to take a closer look. None of the Princesses said they were expecting anyone, and the Captain of the Guard confirmed he didn't recognise her, so they moved to stop he...
A Certain Inn
After consulting with the elders and describing the smell of Xellma to the council, they voted that Mira needed to inform the Ashe family of the events she experienced in the Far Frozen North. Princess Syndra's crimes were great, but it was decided that the Mo...
Awakening
At first he heard birds chirping, which is what woke him initially. As he began to stir, he felt a few rays of sun hit his face, and then the sensation that he was laying under a bush. Hesitating to open his eyes, he ventured opening one, to find his vision mo...
Sirene Ignitis
The woman looked at Julia for several moments before smiling warmly, with none of the malice that was present just moments ago with the three men. Julia for her part just regarded the woman with some mild suspicion, but didn't raise her guard and merely kept h...
Valenca
Eventually, the trees of the mountains began to give way to farms and open fields. As they reached the end of the forest, Sirene stopped and motioned for Julia to come closer. "Yes?" Julia asked, and noticed Sirene looked a bit serious. "You best keep that f...
The Shadow Court
Sirene and Julia kept falling. After several seconds, Julia began to panic, and Sirene took notice. "You think you're about to die, don't you?" Sirene asked, a large smirk on your face. "I know a lethal fall when I see one!" Julia shouted over the rushing ai...
The Curia
Eighty Years Ago It was good to be home, Sirene thought to herself as walked through the gates of Valenca. Well, as much as a place that wasn't Isca could be home, that is. She'd been away from the Court for nearly a century, and she knew that meant a bunch o...
A Chance Encounter
The spy was good at his job, of this none had any doubt. What they doubted was his ability to get along with his employers, and hence why he was again looking for a new noble to impress with his abilities. The city he was in at the moment was... well the name ...
Tanya's Freedom
Ironhand 8865 Tanya quickly transformed from a raven into a falcon as she fled, her desire to live and escape overriding all rational thought. It was nearly an hour before a thought occured to her. She couldn't hear the commands of mother, ordering her to do ...
Revelation
Julio was quite tired before he got even part-way through the book and after a few yawns, bid Natsuki good-night, returning up the staircase with Sirene. Sirene gestured at another alcove close to the one they emerged from, and with the wave of her hand a door...
Capture
After discussing a few particulars, Tanya drew the circle around Sirene. As this was a single person targeted spell, it required more work than the usual capture spells Leona had her cast for decades. Once it was done, she didn't give Sirene a chance to second...
