Familial Ties
"Ah, well... thank you?" Charles stared suspiciously at his brother. Xav had always been adamant about how much he disapproved of the relationship he had with Elisa -- and now that the two of them were getting married, he'd been expecting his younger...
The Orc Bar
"Come on," the orc cajoled. He gave Vinden a wide grin, his lips pulling back around his tusks. Rhevin was his name, if Vinden remembered correctly -- it was hard to be sure, considering the way the orcs had all just sort of coalesced together to coax...
Archangel's Corruption
The battlefield _raged_. Such was the clash between angel and demon. They were not simply warriors fighting for their cause, no; each of them was a force of nature given form, and their battle shook the landscape around them. Spear against claw,...
Nature's Gift
The jungle stirred. It took all of three seconds for it to come to sudden life as the sun spilled over the horizon - startled birds leaping up into the air as rays of light cast into their eyes, the rustle of leaves and the creaking of wood as the...
Cleric's Seduction
Terin stumbled from the ashes of his former home, coughing heavily. It took him a moment to fully understand what he'd done, but even a novice cleric like himself could understand its severity. His home was in flames, the summoning circle he'd drawn...
Elven Nobility
Ivosen groaned as he woke up. It took him a moment to remember where he was, why he was there -- but the dull throbbing in the back of his skull reminded him. He'd been a little too trusting of a beautiful young elven maiden, back in the city; she'd...
Final Corruption
It was a silent parade of demons that followed, though anyone watching would have been hard-pressed not to call the scene ominous; as far as Gevurah and Jaeron were concerned, it was the march to end their kingdom and hand it over to the demon it truly...
CYOA: Reversed Light
You... have no idea where you are. As far as you can remember, you were sleeping just the night before - curled up in bed and doing nothing in particular, soaking in the warmth of your blankets. You'd opened your eyes to what seemed to be a very,...
Crocodilian Menace
In the swamps, a creature lurked. It had lived in the swamp for years, though it had no means with which to count the time; all it knew was that it had lived there for all of its life, and it enjoyed the simple pleasures that the swamp afforded. It...
Kobold Trickery
"Hah! You should've seen how easy it was." Argyle's boasts were accompanied by the clink of gold, the adventurer having chosen to pay for the drinks of all the men in the tavern. It certainly got him the attention he craved; the rogue was surrounded by...
The Dracolith Sea
The Dracolith Sea was rarely crossed - and for good reason. There could only be so many rumors of empty ships and missing people before common sense kicked in; these days, even pirates refused to sail on what many called the cursed oceans. The _why_ of...
Command and Control
Jaeron stretched. He felt a little smirk curl around his lips as he stepped out of the ruins; he'd never quite felt so _alive_, even when he'd been fully human. Now the sun lit his features, and there was none of the usual discomfort - no sweat from...
