Guild Relations, Part 8
With their day's travel at an end, they were once more seated around a campfire for the night. Hetroth stared blankly into the dancing flames, thinking still of how the gods could be no more eternal than the ruins that dotted the world. He was finding...
Guild Relations, Part 7
Hetroth sat upon Varik's bed, already bathed and fed. He was packing for the journey before them. Or rather, mostly reassessing what he'd already packed for his last excursion. He was lacking his armour, but only for the moment. Varikas had gone off...
Guild Relations, Part 10
Hetroth woke with a start, a layer of sweat coating his chest and back. Everything seemed dark, except it wasn't. A deep black void surrounded him, yet his limbs were visible to him in perfect clarity. For a while his mind was clouded by thoughts of...
Guild Relations, Part 9
Hetroth woke to the sounds of rain, beating haphazardly against the window sills and roofs in a raging downpour. Summer rains were relatively rare in the canine kingdom, but harsh when they came. The stag was still well asleep when Het rose up to his...
Guild Relations, Part 11, Final
Hetroth regained consciousness to the sound of voices nearby. Assessing his vicinity, he was somewhat distressed to find his parts were to the wind, within eyesight of whomever the female voice he was hearing belonged to. Flailing clumsily, he took a...
Upon Crooked Foundations 2
Folgren entered the station that morning the same as ever, ducking the twin hanging trophies to find Mikis, the brown wolf, already at the guard table, his two compatriots yet to arrive in the early hours barely past dawn. "Morning, boss.", Mikis...

Upon Crooked Foundations
Folgren the big, pale grey horse walked through the busy town streets at a relaxed pace, the plated parts of his armour softly scraping against parts of chain, his guardsman's cloak fluttering up to a step behind him. His mid-length black hair was...
Guild Relations, Part 6
Hetroth woke with a start, shaking and wide-eyed, only to find himself in darkness. His frantic survey of his surroundings revealed he was sitting on a soft bed, next to a sleeping buck. Varikas continued to slumber unaware, sprawled out wide-legged,...
Guild Relations, Part 5
Hetroth walked hurriedly, following the pair of rats from Varik's guild, now guiding him along the busy streets of Tertium. He slowed his pace occasionally to lock sights with someone he thought recognized him from the day before, but quickly continued...
Guild Relations, Part 4
Hetroth woke by himself, barely a sound around to stir his sleep. He felt around himself for the deer, but found nothing. The ruffle of paper perked his ears up and made him open his eyes. The mid-morning sun shone through the clear glass windows,...
Guild Relations, Part 3
Hetroth woke to the feeling of overwhelming aching all over. His back, arms, legs, and in particular his shoulder and testicles, all sending signals of discomfort to his brain. Only now did his injuries and exertion get to him, making him regret his...
