“Well, this looks bad.” Tove surveyed her assortment of scouts and strays and shook her head. A brandstorm had driven herself, another couple of scouts, and a few Priory researchers hal […]

Two objects would find their way to the Captain’s corner of the guildhall.
The first was carefully wrapped in deerskin, which when pulled back revealed a simply bound book. (Simple, and yet it was the hide of a s […]

An invitation was mailed to every member of the Vanguard. It was on crisp, snow white parchment, and penned in Ambrosine’s delicate and precise hand. With green ink, of course.Dearest Friend,Your are hereby […]

Tove emerged from a secluded little grotto, muttering curses under her breath. “Communicating with spirits is obnoxious. How do you put up with it?”Rikvi was quiet for a full minute before she answered. […]

Aedeminar Silvertree Reed stood on the porch of her borrowed cottage, gripping the handrail and staring off across the fields. She knew with the certainty of both a healer and a creature half-wild that labor was […]

Forgive me Jin–calling this a treatsie is a bit arrogant, but it sounded better than “my rambling thoughts”. There are many books and papers on this topic in the Priory but they are also all terribly dry, so I did […]

Tove managed, somehow, to sprawl in the chair across from Ambrosine’s desk. “I just hate leaving you right now.” 
Ambrosine snorted softly. “I’m fine, just off field duty. Unless someone comes crawling in on deat […]

Lord Iskander Dukas, minor noble of Divinity’s Reach, hesitated before knocking on the door the the Ames residence.
He actually took half a step back and nearly tumbled down the step when the door flung open and h […]

It was the earliest hours of the morning, but Ambrosine was awake, and standing in the kitchen making hot chocolate.She had, in fact, barely slept at all. Normally she was fine, as long as Jaffar was home […]

Ambrosine fought her nature constantly. …in a sense, that was her nature, as well. Her inborn heart of a healer and protector warred with the bloodthirst that had been imposed on her.But […]

Westguard“You should stay here,” Jamethera mutters to Mina. “In Westguard?” The druid pins her with a glare. There is nothing icy about it–Mina is fierce, and restless. She flexes her fingers as if they had cla […]

Tears tracked down Jamethera’s face as she held her high ground in Darkshore. Although she had not lived there for years, Ashenvale was home. And the enemy had marched right through it.
Oh, doubtless her little h […]

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 w […]

Rikvi walked into Riathan’s office and took a deep breath. She had tried scrying in her office at the Priory and gotten nothing. All the tools in the world couldn’t forge a connection. But this…yes, this would […]

Imke gathered them in the guild hall–as many as she knew ran with the Vanguard, and those she thought might be useful.Ambrosine, haggard after a lengthy Priory mission and no sleep upon her return. Her wife Jess, […]

The paper is rough and the ink weak, but the words are carefully written:Aithne and I began scouting for a new place to live. The place where we live now is all well and good, if all you need in life is water, […]

“I don’t think I can train you, Tove.”Tove flashed Ambrosine an over-dramatic pouty  face. “Why not? I know Mina is a student of yours.””After a fashion. But there’s still key differences between my magic and […]

Ambrosine made the climb/hike to Tove’s little corner of the guild hall and…stopped.Until now, it had been just that: a corner. A bookshelf, a fire, a pillow, a desk. A place to be comfortable away from home and […]

He’s Not Lost We Just Don’t Know That One Of Us Knows Where He IsAnd Then When We Do Know That, We Don’t Know Where She IsSo Basically Everything Tove Learns is UselessBut He’s Probably Not Dead!May […]

She slept. This was always how it went after any sort of major healing–but especially so, this time. It’s one thing to heal a traumatic injury soon after it happens. Most of those she heals are in good shape […]
