Everything seemed so perfect. The bright, blue skies. The cheering, jubilent crowds. The warm, welcoming summer. Everything seemed so wonderful. Everything seemed to right. So perfect.
And then, suddenly, it wasn't.
Just as the High Priest uttered his final words, and the crowds celebrations...
Eden can only stare out of the window as his father drives both he and his mother into the small town that was his father's childhood hometown. Evermore. Eden remembers it, and it has hardly changed. The same charmed little buildings, the same tree-lined streets, the same flowering gardens. Eden...
"We should be getting pretty close to the bandit camp." Frederick spoke to his friend, Krauss, as they both cantered toward their destination atop their steeds, "Hope what the village elder told us was the truth. Remember that job back in Bessin? I'm still aching from that onix's rock throw."...
Once the transaction was finished, Ethan took his leave, heading back outside. The likely reason why the mechanic was denied an entry permit is because he is not a trainer himself, and Femino City is simply not interested in receiving mechanical tutoring. Regardless, now outside, Ethan would...
The open road, the rumble of the engine, and the whip of the air as he thunders across the countryside. The life of a trainer is one of freedom, able to go and see and do whatever one pleases, held down by no one and nothing. Not everyone can live such a life, having no home and no place in the...
Within minutes of the dragon waking up, a certain pulse of magic could be felt in the air, and it would not be long before the tent flap would be pulled aside as the Mage Lord stepped into the tent. Upon seeing the dragon, Everon would smirk in some amusement, shaking his head and approaching...
"Not for a bit yet." Kendel responded to Adam's question, "You have only just woken up and will need time to recover. Besides that, you don't have any power armour. Until you are properly equipped, you are best off staying out of any fighting, unless the fighting finds you."
"Kendel is right."...
"A vault dweller?" Kendel thought aloud, before turning to West, "We kept hearing about an individual, a vault dweller, on civilian broadcast frequencies. Could it be the same person that Colonel Autumn had arrested?"
"Possibly," West returned, his voice edged with displeasure, clearly not...
"Good to hear, Private Johnson. We will certainly need every abled-body now." The Lieutenant would comment, before moving on to ask, "From your uniform, you would have been an auxiliary at Raven Rock. My squad and I were ordered, through emergency frequences, to return to Raven Rock over a week...
"You very nearly were gone." The armoured medic would tell him, her voice gentle and sympathetic even through the grill of her helmet, "We found you outside this power station, just in front of Memorial Bridge, while we were making our way out of DC. Becker nearly crushed your skull before we...
"You really are quite a beast, aren't you?" Everon with a smirk, observing the blood dripping down the dragon's chiselled torso, watching as the rabbit is tossed away, striking the tent wall before dropping to the floor, blood soaking into the tent's fibres. Then, Everon would walk over to the...
Suddenly, the flap to the tent flew aside, and in stepped a familiar face for the dragon. Lord Everon. The battlemage. As soon as the battlemage entered the tent, the dragon would be able to feel it, his soul now here, not in any one place but surrounding the battlemage, like an aura. The souls...
"Unconscious. Great." The battlemage sighed, looking down upon his prize, "I suppose the first time is always the worst. Let us hope this is not a repeat occurrance."

In the dark recesses of the dragon's mind, sounds could be hear, muffled and intelligible voices at most times, like...
Of course, as the dragon brought down his bite upon the battlemage, his jaws would slam down against the ethereal shield of disks, coming in close and thus giving the battlemage a good view of the dragon as a whole. The mage could easily see that his ice spears did no damage to the dragon, which...
Once the dragon had ceased it's attack, stared into the wall of thick steam, it would see something shine in the mist, green, before a torent of green flames would spew out of the mist, a spray of fire that spread wide and unfocused. It did not take long for the flames to dissipate, however, and...
Stepping into the darkness of the cave, and allowing a few moments for his eyes to adjust, the young mage would come to a rather grizzly sight. The corpses of a variety of creatures lay in state before the cave entrance, the stench of death fresh in the air but not of rot, the corpses long...
It has taken weeks to reach this place. High above the world, a young battlemage makes the final climb to the mountain summet, all around him bleached white with thick snow, the biting held at bay by an aura of fire, determination alight in his bright green eyes as he stares up at the peak...
This return to DC has been an unprecedented disaster. First the Reclamation Squad found Raven Rock in ruins, then they saw an orbital strike fall from the skies and they knew Adam's Airforce Base was still operational, only to get there just in time to see the Enclave's own superweapon used to...
"I'm with the authorities," Ethan told the man, "A special detective, you might say. Now, do you know where these robed individuals have gone? Have you seen or heard anything that might tell me who they are or what they were doing here, any information that might help in my investigation?"
((Sorry for the delay. If I don't respond after a few days, feel free to poke me. I don't mind a bit of a reminder, as long as it's not incessant. ^_^ ))
After the creature had died, Ethan expected to find the remains of the lost humans here in this room, fed to this creature. But as the fires...
