They spoke quietly over Ambrosine’s desk in the infirmary.”…don’t feel guilty, Tove.” Ambrosine gave her friend a gentle smile. “I can throw my armor back on for this.””But the babies-“”Aren’t babies anymore, […]

If Tove was being brutally honest with herself, she was conflicted about staying behind.She wanted to charge back north, to bloody Jormag’s nose as he so rightly deserved. There was vengeance she wanted to carve […]

Umiri sat on the edge of the bed, freshly scrubbed. Bathing regularly with soap–one of many concessions the ranger made to civilization. She combed her hair, slowly, and then sawed off the last couple of inches […]

Tove woke with a start, throwing off her blanket with a dagger already in hand before she realized……she was home. In the guildhall. And nothing was there.Nothing included her wolf Randulfr, who usually hogged t […]

Tove actually spends the night sensibly. She finds friends among the other Vigil, and retires to her tent with company. It is, at least, possible to get some rest.It’s the first real sleep she’s had in day […]

The problem was that Koli truly had taught her every trick he knew, insofar as tracking went.Tove dogged his trail across the Shiverpeaks, losing it when he met up with other Svanir (other–for he was one now too, […]

This, Tove thought, was the worst kind of success.Oh, she’d found Koli, hunting near his homestead. But he didn’t so much as greet her when she strode from between the trees.“Uncle.”He glanced up and then away, g […]

Watching her bobcat frolic in the snow was only entertaining for so long. Tove pulled her coat in more snugly around herself and sighed. “Where’s Uncle Koli?” The area around Koli’s tent was more cluttered than us […]

“Wolf’s teeth,” Tove snarled, as her last spare bowstring snapped. “Did water get into my satchel? What the hell is going on?” Thankfully it has just been a practice shot to test the tension, or things might have […]

Fall has fully set in over Tyria, and even just walking through the streets of Hoelbrak, you can notice a difference in the air. The chilly breeze is sharpening its edge, preparing for the bitter cold of winter to […]

He stood there. He dared to stand there and proudly proclaim his words for all passers by to hear. “You continue to live in fear. In open defiance of a greater being. But I ask you this: why fear that which can […]

Not one, but two rangers occupied a secluded corner of the Vanguard’s guild hall. Secluded, but not quiet. Five adolescent skyscales scampered around, hopping from rocks to sand to water and back again. “How did y […]

Dearest Koryander,May I beg a favor of you?There’s a woman of my acquaintance who could benefit from your expertise. I–Look, I don’t know why I started writing this like it was my normal correspondence. You’re no […]

((SPOILERS FOR THE NEW STORY CHAPTER. SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS. In the absence of concrete lore this is all wild conjecture and I’m just making shit up. Also, Tuuli is my husband’s c […]

Tove sat quietly on the ground next to her bed. Her wolves had claimed the bed, since she wasn’t using it.She should be–it was well past her usual bedtime–but, well. Instead she was sitting there on the ground, […]

Imke slowly opened her eyes. It took several minutes before she identified the Vanguard’s infirmary by the gilded ceiling. It didn’t help that vision in one eye was still a little blurry.She felt like a munched […]

((Brief reference to current affairs.))”I’m extremely annoyed by merely existing right now.”  Tove flopped in the chair across from Ambrosine’s desk. The other woman kept carefully sorting her paperwork.(Was t […]
