The Ship
It was a strange day when the Ship appeared in out port, it must have made berth sometime during the night for the morning watch found it moored and silent. The sun was shining yet a cold wind howled through the city streets, no children could be heard...
The Lake
The dry grass rustled softly under my paws as I stepped from my car. The bitter night air burned my lungs as I took several deep breaths, the old forest smelt of earth and musk, colored with the cloying stench of decay. It took me several moments to...
The Wolf-King
The dust shrouded king stirred upon his tarnished throne, his faded emerald eyes glinting softly in the gloom of the ancient keep. Once the proud warrior-king of the ancient wolfkin, he now sat looking over the silent halls of his crumbling keep....
Berserker Part 1: Joining The Pack
It was a busy spring night at the tavern when the old wolf passed wraithlike through the doors. Humans and beast-kin alike fell silent as he slowly limped through the crowded room. A heavy metallic thud sounded with every other step, in time with the...
Ruins
As I sit with my back against the damp walls of this god forsaken temple I write this account of my final hours. Once the weak light of the lantern dies the Keepers shall claim me for their own vile purposes. I can already sense them, nightmarish...

Curse part 9
With Markus gone there was no point in keeping the veil up any longer. I dropped the spell and we stepped out from behind the cabinet. Dr. Greil's head snapped up and her eyes narrowed. Tall and painfully thin with icy blue eyes and unnervingly pale...
Plagueborn
Eager to save their village the shamans began their rituals. They sought to bind the essence of the plague that ravaged their home to a physical form, so that they might reason with it or kill it. A young couple, already dying from the plague, lay in...
Curse Part 5
"My current client, one Mr. Ward, has a pretty nasty bad luck curse hanging over his head. From what I've been able to figure it's a ritual curse and whoever is behind it has more than one mage working it." I told Helgarth. "Don't expect me to dispel...
Black Dwarf
They asked me why I killed him, why I put three bullets through his head. When I told them they branded me mad and locked me in this cell. Now here I rot, waiting for the rest of the world to join me. It started with the appearance of the Anomaly, a...
