Justicar, I know I am a minor member of your organization and, as such, my opinions do not hold as much weight as others. Be that as it may, in all good consciousness I must still relay my dissatisfaction with how Miss Idella is being treated. She is not a criminal and has not behaved […]
She heaved the last of the bars into place, wiping sweat off her brow. The forge, gladly hired out by the Kul Tiran blacksmith, blazed long that day and night as Nynkasi worked the chunks of ore into shining bars. It had not been easy. She gulped down water, despite the bitterness and the odd […]
Nynkasi hauled the ore nuggets back with painful slowness. Literally. Her whole body ached as she left the realm of earth, and passing from Deepholm….oof. She kept stumbling in the waking world, as the heaviness of the place left her. And with a final heave, the bag of ore was shoved and slung back into […]
Thoughts swirled around her head as she once again stared into the coals. Emotions battered something inside her as well, causing her to frown and hug her knees as she huddled before the fire. She was so… She hoped Mosur could make sense of those notes. She could barely understand them herself. Her father was […]
Draenei prompt list for the month of December [link] ———- The flames were familiar. They licked at his flesh just shy of burning him. Too warm, too close for just a simple summon. This voice too, sharp and confident, the popping and crackling that flavored his Ignan was also somehow unique to the Elemental. “Shaman, […]
Etsi made her way towards the Alliance camp on silent paws, her muzzle curling and nose wrinkling to try and block some of the old, rotting blood scents coming from the trolls in the east and the strange elf-fish smell of the Naga drifting along the sea breeze from the west. Eyes that saw better […]
The sun had barely risen on the brisk scion morning. Rays of light spilled through the gaps in the dense canopy, and the fog clung to the forest floor at such a density it was almost tactile. Crouched in a hiding spot amid a cluster of trees and rocks, Reed and his father Cliff surveyed […]
THWAP. PTING. THWAP. Issy lowered the bow for a moment, grunting as the arrows struck home into the distant stump. Good enough. And then reached for a bottle of gin, took a hearty swig, and grabbed another arrow from the quiver. She was out of practice, badly, and it would take days of steady practice […]
Eirciel gazed upon the fallen elf and the wreckage in the forest around her. She clenched her fists and glared at the other Thornspeakers, picking up the woman, she was tall, but so were Kul’Tirans, two of the men picked her up. Her teacher, Aron, stepped up beside her. “What troubles you?” “Why are we […]
The air was filled with smoke. Hot. Hotter then the forge, hotter then she could stand. Which was strange, being Dark Iron… The lava pools in the heart of the city, shadows, thick, hot smoke. Shouting. Silhouettes gesturing. The ground was cracked and broken. Smouldering in places. She stumbled, lips cracked, hair limp and strangling. […]
For every time, there is a season. A time to sow, and a time to harvest. A time to hate, and a time to love. A time to kill, and a time for mercy. So it is for the City. The Walker looked upon the width and the breadth of its City, and gathered itself, […]
“FENIX!” That word alone, the name he gives to summon him, caught the elemental’s attention. “I SUMMON YOU! COME NOW!” A sign, an offering, a conduit… Nothing. A scribed circle, carved runes, sharp copper offered freely. Old magic. A sacrifice of blood and an open gateway. He answered the call, erupting from the center of […]
Related Reading: Twilight, Nether Walk, Autumn Red — Everything was hazed at its edges. Colors were vibrant but bled the moment anything moved. Like cloth traveling through water, everyone moved at languid pacing. The scene would be beautiful if not for the knot of dread in Idella’s stomach. For every one of their steps, she […]
Feeling a chill in the sweet summer air, she rose from her weaving and breathed in the breeze. It smelled of the crisp decay of Autumn. Yes — harvest celebrations would come soon. Craning her head to the sky, she spied a sun hanging too low for a proper summers day. Yes — another sign […]
The ocean roared and crashed against the rocks below Westguard and the cliffs behind the keep were still broken and collapsed after Zenruid’s defences were triggered, damage the shaman had intended to fix while he was there; resettle the earth and stone, at least for to ensure the integrity of the keep’s foundations. The purpose […]
What the hell. Open your eyes. Maybe there are other truths. That wasn’t right. That wasn’t, couldn’t be *truth*. How could he do this?! She stormed through the forests south of Boralus, eyes filled with hot tears, fists clenched, leaving a trail of soot and ash behind her. Balegrim had…had said such bullshit! He was […]
Over the past couple weeks Mosur had been watching the patrols and the men on the wall. He knew their patrol times, their patrol routes, when they changed shifts, and which ones were slack at their jobs, especially when the Marshal wasn’t on the wall. That’s really what he had to wait for. Jarrick often […]
Bastard! Summoning? ASKING? She growled and kicked more stones as she stomped back to her quarters. Damn this stupid, horrible, weak, soft, wet place! Damn it! There was no *real* forge, no towering spires of stone and flame and heat, there was only the small apartment near the pit where the human “forgemaster”, ha!, did […]
Mosur sat in meditation; they were no longer in Duskwood. He had been told the mage Mystery was looking for Sielic and that it wouldn’t be long before he arrived. As far as the shaman knew he left nothing to be detected by, no latent magic, no trail, and the weather had been dry so […]
“You must be getting desperate shaman.” The elementals words crackled through the air, the language was throaty and each word that reached the shaman’s ear was sharp. “What would make you assume that?” His response was even keel and he kept to Kalimag rather than the language of fire. The small spark still sat beside […]
He waited till the elemental left of its own accord, the flame flickered once then faded. Mosur grabbed the small fire totem stuffing it back into his robe. With a sigh he laid back. It had taken longer than he’d expected to get a willing participant. He was only prepared to damn himself so much, […]
White fire broke the lock on the witch’s cage. A trail of remains of the foul wicker creations were left in her wake. The man in the cage trembled and dashed out past her. “Wait!” The man didn’t pause, he ran, stumbling over bones and sticks and gore. The wicker beast leapt from the shadows […]
*Screaming, as usual. Mother and Father, in the foreroom, shouting. Walls shaking with energy, cracking with Father’s power. Shadows swirling around Mother’s voice. Brother sitting on the end of her bed, tucking her in while she held a pillow clamped tightly around her ears. It wasn’t helping. Brother, silent as he was, rising up, stone […]
Long ago… Reports lad scattered across the table as the ancient Kaldorei sat, blank parchment in front of her. Another letter sat off to the side, already sealed, addressed to Zen Fateshifter. Her fingers moved over to it, gracefully drifting over his name. “I’m so sorry my Boomcat. Please forgive me for not letting you […]
I can’t say that I’m fond of Fiona. I’ve never thought of myself as the jealous type but something about her prickles my skin. Sure, she seemed nice enough when we met her two months ago as we entered the Plaugelands but she keeps making eyes at Trevor. Every time she looks at him – […]
