You did what you could. Somedays it was hard, this pain. When the smiles were so sweet and genuine but she…she was asking for the usual business, the chore, the guidance. You knew that one or this would suffer but you did as you were bid, because you were in her employ and she meant […]
Love is cancer when used well. It spreads and taints everything it touches – and it’s just so… easy. A touch here, a special smile there. Brushing of fingers in the right place at the right time – and they allow you in. They allow you close. The sergeant smiled. His men smiled – it was […]
To “The leadership of the Templars:”, left as a folded single sheet, meticulously written, among the day’s dispatches: To the leadership of the Templars: I am hopeful that this finds you with only good news, though I really don’t think that’s possible when the world outside your tent is covered in demons. Uncle once told […]
This was *important*. The pandaren crept up to the tent so lately shared between her sister and Cael. It was good. It was very good, and the broad, beaming grin crossing her face and exposing her stubby fangs bore witness to this. She was the best sister ever. Really, though. Kun was fairly sure all […]
She had grown to love mornings – in just a few days. She and her sister had shared that – a love of sleeping in, staying up late, and greeting the stars. Now? Well, now she had lots of good reasons to get up early. Not that she was completely used to it; healing was […]
Auris stared into her glass of red wine at the Blue Recluse. She didn’t frequent taverns, but she needed the drink. Across the table from her sat Adrian. The young soldier wouldn’t meet her eyes, and he barely touched the meal she’d bought him. To her right was Robin, the monk had only ordered a […]
(This is my first attempt at writing an RP story in a while and Adrian I’m considering making a character for, came out of an RP. Hope you enjoy it!) Adrian stepped out onto the street, attempting to meld with the crowd. He clutched the scroll in his hand with a death grip. He couldn’t […]
“Lieutenant – what is this garbage?” I couldn’t keep my eyes off of the field Colonel’s mouth. There was this little hanging bit of froth that had been there for the past twenty minutes. Wobbling. Absolutely refusing to go anywhere. It was utterly fascinating – I kept wondering how it was hanging on, whether he’d […]
Predawn glinted over the horizon, pale buttercream and blue and silvery clouds banishing the blacks and indigo blues of night. A few last defiant stars twinkled. Oranges and golds and bloody pinks began to streak the world, painting a new beginning over the softer pale colors of the day, with the ruddy arid desert heating […]
Nightpetal – Cael snored. It wasn’t the cute kind of snoring, either – it was the mouth open, tongue-lolling, drooly kind of snoring that only a worgen of Cael’s size could actually do; not loud, but insistent, not overbearing, but definitely… er… wet. All the same, it was a comfort. In the days after Cael […]
Something was *wrong*. Kun frowned as her sister scurried in and out of Cael’s tent. Well, partially. There had been smiles and jokes at first, nudges and winks, but when her sister didn’t rise to the jabs as usual the jests had faded a bit. Now she was worried. Petal was off. Kun could […]

[Found folded neatly and slipped into the Justicar’s cloak pocket:] Dear Justicar Enclosed is my report for the scouting shift and demon movement patterns in the Antoran Wastes. There was an incident I believe needs reporting to you. I’m not… sure what has happened, but I won’t pretend it didn’t. It […]
[Written in careful, childlike writing, found in her motorcycle’s cupholder: a letter, written on a spare bit of paper.] Joi, Hello. This is Cael. I am writing to tell you thank you agien for the necklase. It means a lot to me. I can not tell you how much. You gave me my […]
Dear Journal, I took advantage of a social gathering with the Templars to finally show my face and meet so many of my fellow adventurers. It was kind of nice to get out with other adults and not have to deal with the everyday drama of my soon-to-be twin teenage terrors. Of course Arialynn […]
The following proceeds WoW – Twilight (Idella), and took place some months ago. The following is based on an in-game roleplay between Idella and Ryo, transcribed and written from her point of view. )) —- For years, she had dreamed of walking the Nether. The space between worlds, between the Light and Void, […]
Cael stared at the egg and sighed, heavily. The egg sat, innocuous, and did nothing. Thick shell, ivory splotched with green and mottled, hard to the touch, faintly warm- about the size of her helmet, say, entirely unassuming. She’d been to see the druids she knew (who were either not interested, busy, or […]
Previous entry ‘Escape from hell’. http://templarsoftherose.net/trgn/journals/test-swtor-journal-3 (A great big thank you to Zetera for editing.) Fimfink hated the bag. It was stuffy, claustrophobic, bouncy, disorienting and dark. The big demon hunter, ‘Ryo’ the others called him. Ryo had really long quick steps, felt like the bag was constantly vibrating up and down, […]
See part one for previous here. A few minutes later… Fim was recovered and brought to the bridge to debrief Carmarthras. “… so they set me down when they tried to force the door open, and that’s when I escaped through an access shaft. I manage to sneak back to Ops pry […]
Related: [WoW] Letters (Idella) —- Months ago, location unknown… “You knew how this would end, dear.” At Claret’s words, the welling tears in Idella’s eyes finally broke and fell. “Yes, I know,” Idella breathed. Her body somehow felt weak yet paralyzed at the same time. Too frightened to move, and […]
Previous entry here http://templarsoftherose.net/trgn/journals/post/1923 “Be strong my brother and sister Illidari. The Felbreaker comes today… the Godess shows me the arrival, our captivity shall soon end,” The female Kalidori voice echoed through walls of Valencia’s cell. Or maybe the voice was just in her mind. Val had long since lost the ability to […]
“YOU CRAZY BASTAAAAAAARD!!” The weight of the weaponry her (not cool, psychotic, asshole) employer strapped onto her yanked and janked her painfully as Doryn Greenly tumbled through the open sky to certain death. Wind roared, a high deafening thing that teared her eyes so hard she couldn’t see and she was going to […]
One impromptu surgery session, four hours, and three quarters of a mile later, Doryn started as a large explosion took out the cave and a large part of the stone face around it. The success of her trap made her grin. That was for Cindy, you jerks! God job, Doryn! That will teach them! […]
There were times Etsi wished she could do more magic than with plants. Like now when every step she took threatened to rattle the buckets of paint she and Kun-yi carried. The Pandaren and her could walk for miles without making a sound, without rustling a single blade of grass out of place, without catching […]
[A report is written on a scrap of parchment that somehow finds it's way into the Justicar's pocket, because Ana is a terrible person with a worse sense of humor. The tone is jovial, and the contents very useful indeed.] Yo, Bosslady. Did that looking we talked about. Templars are clean, minus the […]
