Courn recalled his wires into his pouch. He stood near the center of the area with his hands on his hips.
“Don’t give me those looks,” he said. “I’ve been doing this far, far longer than any of you. Of course this was not going to be a fair fight. There will be times when you must fight someone...
The door slammed shut behind the group as they entered Kareen’s workshop. It was an orderly establishment, with tools and equipment lying in conscientious positions around the workshop. The forge was roaring and the room was sweltering, which made Kareen’s cropped tank top a fitting choice - it...
Part II Begins
Morning rose once again, the sun making its grand appearance over the eastern treeline of Ondora, gracing the town’s inhabitants with warm bliss. A ray of sun shone brightly through the window of Courn’s room directly on his face, he grimaced at the intrusion, his head pounding...
Ondora, known as the mythical magic city, is true to its splendorous name. From the cobbled city streets to the shingled roofs, Ondora was the exemplification of magic.
Outside of the busy marketplace, Ondora had much to offer, shops that wouldn’t try to pinch your pocket or sell false...
The monster’s attack was deflected by Liam’s well-timed parry leading to the limb to be lodged into the ceiling of the rocky corridor. Liam’s counter managed to score a deep cut on the limb but there was no reaction from the spider creature.
It also felt Ava’s slash to its other leg though it...
Courn’s handshake was quite strong given his size. He made sure Liam realized just who he was dealing with a subtle squeeze. Again he flourished another “congratulations” to the young initiates when a portal opened up behind him and Willet emerged, black robes flowing, blonde braid resting...
Two months ago; Luxa
Reuno was polishing a bottle absent mindedly when a hooded figure descended the stairs adjacent to the bar. A scrawny hand removed the cowl hiding his face revealing a hollow cheeked man with spindly brown hair. “Hello, Reuno,” the sickly man said in greeting. “The usual...
The minotaur roared as the edge of its club connected with Grace sending her to the ground. It did not have much time to celebrate as Grace’s earth golem was quickly summoned and connected a right cross to the minotaur’s face sending it falling. It stopped its fall against the wall of the...
The runes on the floor remained quiet as Jin was not teleported to this destination. In fact, he was sent to another place, an area more suited for him. But that is a story for another time.
Another howl ripped through the walls of the labyrinth the group was in. It was chilling and haunting...
Through the black portal, the group entered the Ixum and was greeted with the grandeur sight of the Crystal Tree. The center structure was rooted in the middle of the Mage’s Capital, its crystal trunk rising over one hundred feet high, branches spread across the top of the dome with millions of...
Willet took her place at the head of the procession with the other three lagging behind her, or so she thought. She didn’t care much for their order as long as they kept up. The witch always found herself a sizable distance from the group - within sight but out of earshot, though she always...
Don drew a grin in satisfaction as his axe drew blood. “Stupid nimble wench.” The dagger wound to his side was merely a scratch against his muscled body. As he turned, Lionel found perch on Don as he scrambled his face and neck. With his free hand, Don attempted to rid himself of the pest only...
The axe had managed to miss Peri, splitting the table in two, as if struck by lightning, splinters flying in a near explosion of brute strength. As Peri flew in the air and delivered her attack, Don fell to his knees after the swift blow to his privates, a spittle of drool falling from his face...
From outside the inn doors, light, laughter, and illuminating music could be heard from the streets. For the town of Still, this was a feat not often seen. The inn was seeing business usually reserved for holidays and the innkeeper was rubbing his hands greedily with coin. Peri’s music was...
