Theirs was the last wagon in the caravan. When Crymaria peered out the rear of cart, she would see the road into Kruhrin slowly being obscured by the rainfall between here and there. The rain came down in sheets as large puddles already began to form in the road worn...
Mine
On my bed I lay
As sleep I do delay
A moment more I stay
Awake as I betray
The one I've yet to meet
As I soil both soul and sheet
I toil alone in lust
Alone, yes, very alone, I trust
But a moment of time
To taste the sweet sublime
An eye flutters expectantly
I glimpse something...

The bear turned his attention to Crymaria. He seemed grateful for a distraction from the unpleasant taste currently saturating his mouth.
"Oh, it's these roots. Mhu'ati handed them out to us. Said they would help keep us awake. Alert. She was right, of course, but...
Melodious Bog
When times are tough
And I'm swallowed whole
I head out to the bog
Strapped with my banjo
I wade through the muck
And dodge the bats
I find a log to sit upon
After a few gentle taps
I pull my friend free
Letting his straps just hang
Then I pluck his strings
Each speaking its own...

The carts begans moving out of the Kruhrin. The beasts of burden pulling them didn't seem particularly fond of the rain, but they were less bothered than those having to make the journey on foot next to the caravan. Occasional coughs and moans could be heard from...

Ciu'nan was much more manageable, being sedated by Jia's technique. Wei and the others had no trouble transporting her to the caravan. On their way, they spotted Crymaria playing with Boris in the pooring rain.
"If you're coming, climb onto a wagon. A separate...

Upon seeing Wei with the figure ahead of them, Ciu'nan would perk up some and take a few steps ahead of Jia, her free hand outstretched towards the pair.
"Beni...? Beni is that you?" Ciu'nan called uncertainly at the shrouded figure next to Wei.
The figure stopped...
Dreaming to Find
Sometimes at night
I like to dream
About fantastical things
And places unseen
I'm looking for something
In those visions
I search through caves
And lofty villas
Have I found it?
I cannot say
But my longing only
Makes me stay
Brings me back
The following day
I awake to life
But...
Dealings With Neighbors
Familiar streets and familiar faces
Tons of fun hangout places
Alas, they are ruined now
All because THEY came to town
We had fun when it was just US
Same old, same old is always a plus
But now the same just isn't the same
Among our labels there is now a new name
'THEM'...

Jia would begin moving towards the back of the town hall. His movements were more purposeful now--driven, even--by an apparent vigor that suddenly motivated his limbs into action with aggressively concise motions. Jia's paws reached out in front of him as his entire...
The world of IH has basic lore, like names of countries and capitals, certain aesthetics for the way each country is stylized, but it largely plays like a West Marches style campaign. The world is largely unexplored and is very much a blank canvas for the aspiring narrator to flesh out as they...

In a quiet chamber in the back of the town hall, a few select bearkin gathered around a bed. The strong smell of herbs permeated the air. Two braziers near the bed sent up trails of smoke from the incense burning therein. Atop the bed was a form obscured by a white...

Wei would need more time to think about how best to help Alexei. He expressed confidence in Alexei's ability to handle his wound, but the matter did seem to concern Wei. It was not looking likely that they could take immediate action, but he would be on the lookout for the earliest opportunity...
Wei seemed relieved yet still on guard as Crymaria rested her hand on the sphere. Boris chuffed at the bearkin, placing a massive paw on Wei's arm. The bearkin held his ground, his arm bulging slightly as it resisted the bear's protest. A tense moment passed as Wei's hand became firmer on his...
Wei's gaze turned down to the table as he forcefully blew air out through his lips. His index finger tapped its claw into the table as he thought.
"Dangers within and without. Hm..." said Wei as the tapping continued, a divet forming underneath his claw. Suddenly, the tapping stopped. "One...
Alexei clumsily caught the bottle Crymaria tossed to him, his belly doing most of the work. Removing the cap and bringing the bottle to his snout, he sniffed it curiously. The lack of a scent seemed to perplex him as he took a small sip. The liquid had barely spread across his tongue before he...
[Combat ended.]
As Crymaria made her way around Boris and the frog, her comrade chomped more vigorously at the still squirming frog. Boris tore his maw free of the reptilian flesh, removing a large, bloody chunk as he did so. He mounted his upper body atop the now bloodied frog, pressing it...
Rise Up and Walk
An outstretched hand
May you reach for it
From your place on the floor
Paralyzed as you are
I know you've strength enough
For one last fight
Raise thyself
I say
Rise up and walk
Take up the rags you wallow in
Wash yourself in the new day sun
Purify your silhouette
In the gilded...
