They agreed. It wasn't a sentiment of abject submission. It wasn't a signed treaty of peace between the lands. But it was a start, and it was good. It was good and quick, and everything that they needed to begin the arduous task of bringing down the Shadow threat and restoring the lands to their...

CAIN'LOREN Three Weeks Later ABRIGEL BAELESTON Slippered feet padded quietly across the cobblestone as Abrigel made her way from the palace steps to the stables - a path well known by now. Isaac had been in Cain'loren for nearly three weeks, safely tucked behind the gates of...

STATUS|Panic-mode GROUP|B LOCATION|Wandering Haven "Eden..." She offered to Darren's question, her voice nearly quaking. This was it. This was the retaliation for their escape. This was how Eden was going to pay them back for their defiance. By murdering potentially thousands...

She wasn't a hero. She wasn't. Everything she'd done - all of the decisions she had made, she'd made in haste, she'd made because she was little more than an emotional creature, bent on avenging her brother and father. On proving to her mother that it wasn't a waste of time... that she wasn't a...

THORNWILD IRIN DANTHOS The little girl was a problem. She had never been a factor, never been a part of the plan, but she had seen something, and while the word of a servant and a child was hardly binding, if even one miserable creature believed her… She'd been dealt with, but...

CAIN'LOREN ABRIGEL BAELESTON Light collected in the droplets of wine splashed across the surface of the table, the cup tipped on it's side, a current red river flowing into Abrigel's lap. Red was everywhere; the scene of a massacre, the victim her highness's patience. The...

There was a fissure in her soul that Raleia wasn't sure would ever heal. A part of her that had died the day Haven fell, the day that Valnir was taken from her. And there was piece of her that wanted that vengeance, desperately. A part of that would have turned the queen and her entire city to...

She was no fighter. That much she knew in her heart. She'd signed on to the mission out of sheer respect for her brother and father, and perhaps a bit of pride for her land and her people, but she had no real delusions that she was going to be much good to anyone, beyond possibly a bit of...

April Archwood || She wanted to think she was alright. That after the trouble they had run into the day before, she was still strong and composed and ready for anything. But the night prior, she'd gotten very little in terms of sleep and she'd woken with the heart pounding realization of...

Whether or not the negotiations were going well, Raleia couldn't tell. No one had killed anyone yet, and that seemed largely a sign of success, but there was still too much of a chance something, anything could go wrong and with everyone on edge all it took was a spark to ignite a fire...

JADEN As Talia took the tape player, or rather scrambled to keep the thing from crashing to the floor, a brow quirked at her question and Jaden smirked with a small, dry scoff, "Sweetheart, I ain't a !@#$%^&* messanger. You wanna find out, you go talk to good old Agent Silver. Animal's in a...

They had the Seed. But their journey, and the danger which came with it, were far from over. Tza'Hal had been the one to point it out, but all of them, undoubtedly were feeling it. The ever pressing scourge of the enemy - encroaching upon them. Present. Near. That evening, against all odds, Wyn...

She had been right there. She had touched it, felt the power emanating from it, seen that power in action. She had spent her entire life believing the Seed was real, believing it was possible to find it. Yet standing there, hearing Hal proclaim that they'd discovered it, she could scarcely trust...

For what it was worth, getting the Orc's cooperation with a measure of forbearance was encouraging, to say the least. She'd half expected a fight to break and none of them were in much condition for that - but the weapons were laid down without a hitch and the room breathed what seemed to be a...

Down, down they climbed, the tree of ice more obstacle than opportunity - slick and unsteady with every step. When Wyn reached the floor of the cavern, she took in a breath and bending at the weight willed her pounding heart to steady. She had volunteered. She had volunteered to avenge her...

STATUS|Reconciling GROUP|Tourniquet LOCATION|Haven Twelve hours. It had been exactly twelve hours since they had escaped Eden. Since they had been rescued, and been brought to Haven. For Charlie, it should have been a momentous occasion, worth of celebration, and maybe in a...

It wasn't easy going. It rarely was when one was essentially the left leg of another, but where Wyn failed in many aspects of her life, she was nothing, if not determined. In rhythm both to Charlie's pace and Solana's on the other side of Charlie, she followed Hal's path with what felt like a...

April Archwood || The danger, of course, with her plan was either that it wouldn't work at all and she would essentially draw attention (and a shiny lead bullet) to herself... or, conversely, it would work, but their dear Teutonic friend would not be inclined to let them go, even outside...

At last, one of them seemed to take note of the danger surrounding them. It was difficult, she understood, with all that was going on to focus entirely on each detail, but the fact was, there was a threat, very real, and very close, in their midst. Charlie might have been saved, but it wouldn't...
