Whispers in the wind…
Darkness then light…
Warmth unlooked-for…
A man laying among the sands….

“GhHuuh-” I gasp out of my dreams and my eyes crack open, only for my lungs to pinch in pain. I start choking and...
Nori followed after the woman and the young Hunter. The woman's cold nonchalant confidence was welcome but it made Nori feel like the woman was looking down on him, and made him think she was perhaps more experienced in these types of situations. He didn't give his conjectures any more heed...
Upon exiting the cab, Noraki hurriedly slammed the door and rushed through the daylit street in the direction of Hanyoung High School. Having had plenty of time to study the map around the school prior to arriving, Nori felt confident in where to go. His plan was simply: patrol the outside of...
The door to the apartment swung open and Noriaki, on autopilot, entered and took off his shoes as he had countless times before. "Aniki!" he yelled while taking off his shoes. No one answered. "Aniki?... Oh right he's working today," he whispered. The realisation meant nothing to Nori as he'd...
Kita followed the team through Hanger Bay 01 and was subjected to more gawking from crewmembers; some even cheered. None of this surprised Kita who had walked this path plenty of times already. He cared little for the other people in the hanger and chose to study the vehicles parked inside...
Kita listened quietly to what Dylan said back to him.
With a shrug of acceptance, Kita took to remaining silent. The elevator stopped, and he followed everyone out and into the armory. It was spacious and packed with high-tech, and most certainly, expensive gear. With practiced steps, Kita...
Pathfinder Kitamière De La Côté
After Accord dismissed the Pathfinders, Kita followed Dylan and the rest of the team out of the room. Kita was lost in thought as they walked and listened absentmindedly to Dylan. What really occupied his mind were two things: the commanders' response to this...
Wayfarer Ilya Hiaenyiir
Ilya shook off her dazzled look and lightly slapped her cheeks. Get it together! Reviewing what had happened, she was in-between being proud and disappointed in herself for how she had acted. As an Evoker, she should have created an Earthen wall or something to protect...
Pathfinder Kitamière De La Côté
Kita shared Dylan's confusion regarding the meeting's location; the PACC was where these were supposed to happen. As the debriefing progressed, Kita remained impassive. He wasn't liking the direction this was taking, but his mind did a whole 180 when he saw the...
Kitamière De La Côté's (Pathfinder) Perspective
Kita gave a hum in agreement; he felt the same way. Technology had made leaps and bounds over the past few hundred years, and he had trouble wrapping his mind around the ingenuity of Humanity. I wonder if we'll ever reach a limit to our...
Kitamière De La Côté's (Pathfinder) Perspective
The hiss of the Cryofreeze hatch opened, filling Kita's muffled hearing. His body was stiff and chilled to the bone. He groggily pushed his eyes open, and with a numb face and half-away body, Kita quietly groaned, mumbling, "ughhh, I hate...
Ilyanae Hiaenyiir's (Wayfarer) Perspective
Ilyanae Hiaenyiir stood among the assembled Wayfarers overlooking the Conjurer's runic circle. Sadly, at least to Ilya, there were few other Elves here. It wasn't that she disliked other races; it was the other way around, in fact. Most Elves were...

Rínor Nemirion
"In days of yore, long before King Oropher wrought his fortress of Amon Lanc, and ere the War of Wrath remade the world, my father, Nemir, dwelled in Menegroth in Doriath. There he...
