Bear Rock
"We're not _lost_," Kyle insisted. He was glaring intently at the map he was holding, as if he could discern exactly where they were by sheer force of will alone. "We're just temporarily misplaced, that's all." Brent snorted, folding his arms....
Fogged Lust
Geralt knew something was wrong almost as soon as he entered the area. He'd hunted many monsters before in his time as a witcher - this, however, was different. It was rare to see a place so deserted, so... eerie. More often than not, if there was a...
Broken Powers
Superheroes. The word seemed a little corny, now that they were actually real. They were things to look up to in the comics, sure - people that always won, that would always strive past any adversity to defeat whatever evil awaited them. The idea...
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,...
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...
A Demon's Pride
Thorpe dragged himself up the steps of the tower as lightning flashed around him. It almost seemed to seep through the stone, as though the light wasn't quite sure what to do with itself - the intensity of the magic around them _buzzed_, corrupting and...
The Conquest: Part Two
Victor yawned, glancing lazily at his watch. He had only two hours left to go on his shift, thank goodness. The man had never really been good at holding up a night shift; he could never really get himself to sleep in the middle of the day, and so...
A Kobold's Heart
Immortality could be a dangerous thing. It was seen in dragons, most often. There was no known age at which a dragon would die naturally; the oldest were rumored to be thousands of years old, beacons of wisdom and intelligence - yet those were few...
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...
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...
Caught in the Tear
The Tear. It was just a colloquial term, really. The Tear was one of the few places in all reality that didn't have a true name. True names came from the magic that saturated a land, but the tear was more of a _gap_ than it was a location - A...
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...
