Aila took the half-filled cup of ale obediently, her head tipping slightly to the side as her attention turned to the cloudy golden liquid she held in her hands, closely approximating the motions of a person studying something unfamiliar. It was no surprise that alcohol was new to her, but any...

Aila didn't seem in the least bit bothered by Tyr's apology - as far as she was concerned, he had nothing to apologize for as her shortcomings were merely a result of a flawed design on her part. Hopefully, it was something that her body would become accustomed to sooner rather than later; the...

Aila maintained a passive silence as the day drew on, the distance they had traveled since they embarked upon their journey measured only in the steady hoof beats of the horse beneath them, the passing of various unfamiliar landmarks, and the slow but inexorable march of the sun overhead as it...

Any other woman might have been startled or taken aback by the forward - though polite - grasp which Tyr placed firmly about Aila's slender waist, lifting her easily to place her atop the awaiting steed. As was likely expected by now, the young woman seemed to take the new development in stride...

The aura of confusion which had swirled around the woman seemed now to settle back into a quiet contentment as Tyr voiced his satisfaction with her altered appearance. She couldn’t understand how a simple change in the vestments draped about her form brought about such a marked shift in his...

The pair finally came upon the camp of which Tyr had spoken, a modest affair hidden cleverly away amidst the trees which seemed to match the man's practical tastes perfectly. The trappings were much humbler than any which Aila had been privy to in her past, but the functional nature of the...

Aila's proffered hand fell obediently back to her side upon Tyr's pointed physical rejection of her gesture, although no sign of affront or reproach marred her expression in response to his rebuke. She merely took his counter in stride, her demeanor unfazed. "I would not offer such a thing to...

As Aila stepped out of the shadows of the ruins, the muted radiance of the rising sun fell upon her for the first time in countless centuries, seeming to illuminate her porcelain skin from within with a faint glow. The sheer garments which draped from her willowy figure caught the rays of golden...

Aila's skin was surprisingly cool to the touch, as if she had remained for too long in the clutches of a chill winter air. Perhaps it was simply the lingering touch of her stone sarcophagus's unyielding embrace, the warmth of her form long since stolen away by the eons she had spent hidden from...

As soon as the deed was done, the pale figure rose once again, the trace of a smile still lingering on the curve of her lips. However, it no longer held any modicum of joy for the two men kneeling at her feet. Instead, it haunted them as if it were the infernal leer of the devil himself, the...

The ruins of a once-mighty city lay silent in the morning sun, her bones of stone - though weathered and beaten - still standing defiant against the unforgiving march of time. She was the relic of an age when magic was still potent and untamed, but much like her ancient denizens, her true name...

Hi there! Color me intrigued, based on the information you've included in your post! I'd love to chat and tell you a bit about myself, but unfortunately, I'm still too new to RPN to shoot you a message just yet, and I don't want to clog up your thread by prattling on about myself here. If you're...

Hello, hello! I have to say that while reading through your post, many of the aspects you mentioned resonated strongly with me, so here I am! Based on your description and criteria, I think that there's a very good chance that we might be a great fit, so if you're still on the hunt for partners...

Hey there! Based on your description above and what you're seeking in a long-term writing partner, I think that we could potentially really jive (not to mention the fact that I couldn't type this message fast enough upon reading the "Bounty Hunter x Target" pairing idea)! If you're still looking...

This looks incredibly fun and brimming with plot potential! The Hunter/Mercenary x Shapeshifter pairings intrigue me the most (but I'm very open to other pairings as well) - feel free to shoot me a PM if you're still looking for partners!
