Jared watched the spectacle before him, not feeling sorry for the man nor happy at his treatment. The man had done something that the empress and her men found worthy of punishment. It was not Jared's place to speak or participate on such matters, and to him, it wasn't worth feeling anything as...

Jared let out a small breath as he removed the axe from the back of the now deceased man on the floor. He was sent to investigate a shady inn for possible Unsound activity. Right off the bat, the patrons and the owners had acted all suspicious. They wouldn't meet his gaze when he asked them some...

The messenger had come at an awkward time. Adrian wasn't exactly sure what had happened. One moment he had been stepping forward in order to initiate an attack. Next thing he knew, Kenzi had him by the arm and had the blunt end of her knife pinned uncomfortably to the back of his neck. Before...

Adrian observed Kenzi's movements. She appeared to be on guard this time, which means that Adrian would have to attack first. He himself was much more used to fighting people that didn't have enhanced abilities, but that didn't deter him. He decided that a direct frontal attack would be good to...

Although his swipe with the staff had missed, it succeeded in staving off Kenzi for a short amount of time. This allowed Adrian to spring back to his feet and ready himself. He was quite enjoying himself. He moved his staff back into a neutral ready position, and eyed Kenzi closely, waiting for...

The leg sweep caught Adrian off guard. He felt his legs get knocked to the side, and he hit the ground. Hard. Adrian let out a sudden exhale, and rolled over. Adrian felt the pain mildly, but he wasn't done. He quickly swiped his staff upwards at Kenzi. @Miss Obsess

Before Adrian could decide how he would feint, Kenzi stepped forward and struck with the butt of her knife. Adrian managed to deflect the blow in time, and he decided that a light strike to his opponent's now unprotected torso would be a good move. So Adrian spun his staff back, and swung it...

"Sure, why not?" Adrian responded. He stepped back and positioned himself in front of her. He held his staff behind him in a ready position. Adrian was aware that Kenzi would most likely floor him with her enhanced reflexes, but he didn't really mind. It would be a welcome change from normal...

Thomas, who had also been in the training room before, left as Adrian started dragging another dummy back onto the training floor when he spotted that Kenzi had come back. Adrian never really interacted with the other adepts much. For the most part, he was usually by himself, or surrounded by...

Adrian sat in his room and pored over a series of maps that displayed the continent of Waipara. The prospect of the war made him rather excited as now he had something that could hold his interest and keep him occupied. Now, as he sat an closely analyzed the maps, his mind was abuzz with various...

After grabbing a portion and sitting down, Adrian pondered what to do for the rest of the day. He liked work, and hated not having an assignment or mission to do. It just made him feel useless. Finishing quickly, Adrian went on with his self-directed task. The king and the royal family had no...

Sometime before 6, Adrian was awoken by the sound of somebody at his door. Slowly, he sat up and gazed at the door. It was most likely a servant, but one couldn't be to sure in a time like this. Adrian continued to watch the door until he saw a note slip under it. Whoever was at the door then...

Jack woke up with a massive headache. He raise his hand and looked out the window at the orange-red sun rising over the horizon. Jack then attempted to get out of bed, but succeeded in rolling over and landing face-first on the floor. "Ah, shit", he muttered and unsteadily got to his feet...

A yellow taxi pulled up in front of Department 7 building. Inside the taxi, Alex Caine thanked the driver, paid, and got out. He quickly looked over his few belongings as the taxi sped away. Alex didn't bring much, only a suitcase and a small backpack. The suitcase was only clothes and other...

Gaius responded, "I am uncertain of its intentions but it threatens the existence of our very world, and for that it must be killed.". Fantastic. Michael was stuck in some abandoned, unknown world, with a man that existed 2000 years ago, hunting some world-ending creature. What a great place to...

Michael listened as the man told him about what he thought, that he was sent here by a "saint" of some sort, to slay some fearsome beast. Michael didn't know of any saint, and he certainly hoped that there was no beast. If he had to guess, he would have said that this saint was probably some...

Michael wasn't sure how long ago he had faded away. All around him, all Michael could see was an endless expanse of darkness, or was it his own eyelids? He wasn't sure. He looked around into the black expanse for a few more seconds, before a blinding light came out of nowhere. Pretty soon...

New Carthage was one of the world's largest, busiest, and grandest cities. However, despite its extravagant outward appearance, it was rotten internally. Corruption was always rife throughout the majority of the city, and, following the simultaneous inductions of multiple top-ranking corrupted...

Akari Hirano sat at the top of a cliff overlooking a barren wasteland. How Akari had managed to climb to the top of the cliff, or why he had done so was beyond him, as he couldn't trouble himself with such petty questions. The same went for how he had received the letter. To him, he could have...

Aaron ignored the looks from his fellow students, as well as the glare from the teacher as he approached. He had barely even joined the group when his new teacher began to introduce himself and his class. Immediately, Aaron had lost interest, and began to look over at his fellow students. There...
