"Aye, sir," she said, mimicking the formality she had seen among the warriors gathered here. the thought passed into Kathina's head then and there that if she were to remain an asset and not be cast aside after her usefulness was spent, she would do well to integrate herself into this group if...

Thinking for but a moment, Kathina responded with "He spent most of his time in his room at our wayhouse, but I have just come there from and not a soul was there but my own and the monster you slew." She thought back as far as she could of what she knew of the doctor who had for so long stayed...

Kathina suspected didn't suspect they knew of her presence, she had often been the best player of their childhood hide-and-evade games in her younger years, creeping quietly along, earning her the nickname of "Mouse" from the larger and more clumsy children. So, as she listened in to their...

Her rescuer's hesitance was almost unnoticed but for his voice betraying what sounded like the slightest hint of an accent, though if so one disguised expertly. His commands were for her to find safety, but with no other living residents of her village on these streets, she felt that her best...

The splatter of bodily fluids on the back of her neck sent shivers tingling up and down Kathina's spine. It became obvious that she was either very lucky or very quick on her feet, the beast would have had her in a few paces and she'd be only another corpse. Looking up at her savior, his...

Her breath catches yet again, the thoughts returning of exactly who or what it is this creature is devouring. Kathina stifles the rage and blood-red mist that begins to cloud her vision, her reason returns and bids her to think through the situation at hand, rather than acting on base emotion...

Freezing in her step, Kathina peered into the room at the sights, sounds, and smells that attacked her every nerve, every corner of her mind telling her to flee, to escape. She realized now that the small shank of splintered wood was still in her hand, but that compared to the last terror seh...

Kathina's cheerful and giddy attitude deflated immediately. The sounds of fire are not exactly welcoming, her mother would normally have doused the fireplace by this time of evening, the rooms only lit by the few oil-filled lanterns set on the center of each rounded table of the spacious dining...

Bewildered by her sudden salvation, Kathina stopped short a moment in a daze, looking about and above for her rescuer. At the call to run, she tried to comply, but her feet seemed suddenly to drag as if encased in stone, her will sapped of its strength of a moment before. She knew not where to...

The beast seems unfazed by her attack, which both did and didn't surprise Kathina. But, the breaking of her weapon also signified a slight breaking of her spirits, as she realized the futility of her efforts against such an enemy. Her fear turned to dread as she dropped her shattered weapon to...

The sudden attack gives pause to Kathina's actions, the utter shock of the slaughter almost too much to bear. This was clearly like no creature ever known before, Kathina almost felt that she would be overcome by the malicious evil that seemed to emanate from it. Her resolve weakened, she...

The firelight of torches casts an eery glow on the walls of the otherwise darkened streets. Even the bonfire some distance back at the square appears to have dimmed, like a lantern that had quickly had the hood put over it. The men had not yet acknowledged Kathina's presence, and she was yet too...

The scream pierces through the darkness outside of the ring of firelight. Questioning whispers turned to panic and the crowds began to scatter frantically, most away from the direction of the scream, but some few brave or foolhardy towards it. Kathina was initially one of the former, she grabbed...

Among the normal gossip, the tales of the recent attacks stood out in the conversations held in small groups and hushed whispers around the great bonfire. Lisa's enraptured telling of her Yohn's bravery was ignored, at least by Kathina. She had always despised the haughty butcher's daughter...

The aura about the square seemed to reek of enchantment, a thick and heady smoke covered the air above the heads of the citizenry like a blanket. Since she was a small child, Kathina had always loved the air of gaiety and celebration that fell over the village this time of festival, that the...

Kathina hurriedly moved the lump of dough from the counter where it had been rising into the brick-lined oven, already glowing a dull red-orange from the coals nestled under the iron rack. This was followed by another and yet another, transferred with a long-handled wooden paddle. She brushed...

(I think 1st person would be appropriate, if you feel comfortable enough to write it that way. It is YOU there after all, and that might help you figure out some of the puzzles easier if you see it from your perspective, rather than watching your character do stuff, make sense? xD also, since...

(No problem, there's not really a limit on post length, just as long as it's not two words, we're coo :D ) The piece of paper said "Open the Box," which was rather silly. You knew that box had no lid, at least, no clearly visible one, and you'd spent many times trying to smash it open or...

(Haha, I like, but you don't need to bold everything you do, just for separate actions that don't fit into a normal sentence. It is a little bit confusing, I realize now, but hopefully we'll get it figured out. The bolded items are just there to draw your attention to things that are of...

Chapter One September 17th You wake up with a jolt. There is no more pain than any normal waking up, though you have a faint memory of being shot last night. The clock on your beside table reads 1:00am, it's still very dark outside. You are used to this by now, this is when you always wake...
