The treehouse swayed as someone came in hot, slamming into the branch hard enough to make the wood creak. Mina’s head snapped up, especially once she caught a flash of translucent purple outside the window–netherdrake wing. Jezrynaku. Mina heaved herself off the couch, letting the caving she’d been working on fall from her fingers. The […]
Mallory glanced once more over the documents before her, having gone over them in detail numerous times already. Satisfied that there was nothing more she would catch, or at least that any further adjustments would not yield any real improvement, she gave a curt nod to them and folded them in half, stashing them in […]
It was noisier than Silvermoon. Was it noisier? It seemed that way. It looked bigger but smaller too. More crowded. It smelled. What were those smells? The sea, someone cooking something, the body odor of the man that just passed by. And why was it so loud? Tala hated Stormwind already. They were walking through […]
8:04 am – Red Rabbit exits through the front door. Roughly the same time as the previous mornings. After years of honing the craft, Reed was well-acquainted with all the most important components required to make a convincing disguise. Even with the target being completely unfamiliar with his identity, he knew it would be foolish […]
A dim lamp situated atop the desk was the only light source to be found within the cramped confines of the modest office. It barely illuminated the surface of the desk itself, let alone allowing its rays to stray even a few feet into the rest of the room. The collective din of the evening […]
It was approaching dusk when Katlynn got back to the camp. The tent hadn’t been disturbed and was still hidden by the brush she’d placed around it. She stepped over the nearly invisible tripwire in her path, taking note that the others hadn’t been disturbed either. Kneeling down next to the tent’s opening she peered […]
Dearest Uncle – I know, I know, it’s been too long. I keep getting distracted and forgetting to write. That’s not an excuse – just a statement of fact, so, you can still be mad. That’s okay. Cael and I have traveled farther than I expected; I think I’m losing weight. I know, I know, it’s […]
Dear Mum, I know I promised to write but a LOT of things have happened. So, so many. For your first question: yes, that is a thousand gold in that bag. I’ve come into a lot lately and honestly I have no use for it as a monk and I thought I would send you […]
Trindlewin Stringspin was the best bard this side of Whistledown, or in Lini’s opinion, all of Varisia. Or the entire world. She settled down in the corner of his house, more so a workshop, on a plush chair in the corner and picked up a book on arcane spellcasting. Trindlewin was meticulously polishing and tuning […]
Three centuries into the future A cloaked figure approached the memorial, a faint silver glow emanating from under the hood covering its face. Kneeling down, the figure planted a rough-hewn stake with a small piece of leather attached at the base of the monument. Long, slender fingers carefully began removing wind-blown debris from the area […]
Keleoshaa felt like she was falling, and then floating. She no longer felt the grip of Khafras’ hand around her throat or the pain from her wounds. What she did feel was an all-encompassing warmth and peace. She couldn’t see anything but she could feel the familiar presence – the Light. It was all around […]
Before she was born Emi heard not only the sound of her mother’s heartbeat but also two soft voices in her head – the goddess Daikitsu and the god Abadar. The voices spoke to her in the months before her birth, telling her about the wonders of the world awaiting her. Upon her birth in […]
The Good, The Bad, The Eldritch: Fighting The Tide Year 1019 A.F. Omnihome, Xenohunter’s Guild district, The Hunter’s Lodge Chapter one Zailas the Slayer ‘The Hunter’s Lodge’ was a little tavern at the edge of the district. It didn’t look like much from the outside, just another nondescript gray stone brick building same as any […]
Breathe…. Bedisa’s eyes opened, but her breath did not curl into smoke the way the distant brazier did. She waved away the chill and her expression flickered for a moment. Something felt…off. She rubbed her brow for a moment, and in a few more moments, felt the deep and bitter chill of the surrounding glacier. […]
Too small. *Too small* She stabbed and slashed the training dummy again and again and again. Viciously, angrily. And in desperation, all over. No more knee jokes. No more “below the belt” cracks. The gnomish warrior ravaged the bundle of wood and straw till there was nothing left but splinters and scraps of leather and […]
*This is a backstory for an alternate universe set of characters Ace and I have on Moon Guard. One is a worgen death knight and the other a paladin. The worgen death knight is Etsiyona (having been turned after Ace’s death due to the Scourge) and the paladin is Wilks (Ace’s personal assistant that died in […]
Note: To make the Keleosha journals a tiny bit less confusing, I’m referring to the two characters by their in game names: “Keleosha” for the paladin from alternate Draenor, and “Keleoshaa” for the priest from the main timeline Outland. ======== Keleoshaa was out of breath and her muscles ached. She often walked between her home […]
Dear Journal, I have not written in some time and I feel bad for that because I promised the Justicar I would. Many things have happened. It will take lots of entries to cover them all but I will write them in short right now. The most important thing: [an entire line of scratchouts] I […]
When she was a child, her name wasn’t that big of a deal. There were…weirder ones, by the human standard. Torquetwist. Metalopolis. Quarkcatcher. Although to be fair Metal got a lot of grief back in grade school…but anyways. The human standard, that was it. That was when she began to get frustrated. Not that she […]
…so you see, Mina has a girlfriend. …no, the other girlfriend. Unaara. She is a lovely draenei shaman, very sweet, very regal. She is also prone to…stress baking. And needless to say, the whole DEMONS on ARGUS thing is very stressful to her and she baked many, many cookies. So many. Mina tried to eat […]

Tea. She leaned over the cauldron, stirring slowly, lost in the swirl of scents that curled upwards from the flames. There was something of a peace to be had here, she could plop down on the hearth and just breathe and brew and be happy all day. Wei smiled, opening her eyes, and eyeballed the […]
The linens on his bed were soaked through with sweat and he woke with a sputter, choking on his breath. His nights were short and ended suddenly more often than not. He threw the sheets from his body and swept his legs out onto the floor. His blue eyes caught a little of the natural […]
Razas sat, looking through the newest edition of Barbeque and You, which, while being an excellent cook book and grilling magazine, was also the typical warlock monthly magazine from the Dreadscar Rift. The Netherlord, in his benevolence, published safer summonings, more efficient rituals, and the like, hidden away in code that usually only warlocks were […]
