Mayra

Mayra stayed close behind Alessio as she stared at the strange man. He looked so familiar. Similar colouring and hair to Nithel so maybe he was from-

Wait.

Mayra narrowed her eyes. It couldn’t be. Could it?

Then the Castle shifted, morphing into a strange temple-like room with an ornate ceiling and pillars. Mayra should have felt e…[Read more]

@this-is-not-an-alien

Thank you! I’m glad you liked it. 🥰

*almost babbles, but will let Nithel and Alessio get re-acquainted instead*

The boy was clearly uncomfortable, unsure what to say or do. He was just a bit older than Nithel’s daughter, maybe the same age. Nithel’s lips didn’t change, but a partial smile touched his eyes. Relax. All Nithel’s troubles still vied for attention in the back of his mind, and he didn’t know how he was able to give the smile. At least… you…[Read more]

@kimlikesart

Ohhhhh he kept it!!!! That’s a beautiful touch. <3

ahhhhhh that so sweet!!!😭😭😭

Nithel grasped a sword at his side.
A sword…
He stared hard at him a while and Alessio’s heart skipped a beat. He doesn’t remember me… Not immediately, it’s fine it’s fine it’s…just calm down. What happened? Where was Nithel? It must’ve been years if not decades if he looked so much old, did that mean everything–?
“Hello.” His friend said warily,…[Read more]

Also, what kind of a setting is the main group in?  I’m going to drop a new character in, but I’m not quite sure what environment to have him stumble upon 🙂

@denali-christianson I wasn’t here for a lot of the new storyline (I may have done some stalking though lol), so could I have a quick reminder of Niarok and Yila’s (also Leytara)…[Read more]

The man coughed, gasping for air.  He propped himself up on an elbow and squinted up at Misu.

“Qatar Miller. Where’d you come from?”

“Oh.”  That’s a good question.  “I’m actually not quite sure.  I came from back there somewhere, but to be honest I’m not sure how I ended up in this cave to begin with.”  His smiled faltered.  That’s hardly a goo…[Read more]

No. Nithel’s stomach twisted as the walls gave way, and different things took their place. He wanted to shut his eyes, but he didn’t think it was a good idea. Not when anyone could do anything.

Dragon. He had a faint remembrance of the dream that had put them in his knowledge. He’d told tales with the giant lizards as villains many a time since…[Read more]

@emily-waldorf tbh it would be incredibly in character for Misu to forget to completely “turn off” his angel mode, plus it would provide some light for Qatar to really get a good look at him.  I’m all for leaving that part in!

I’m not sure if this is completely accurate, but does Qatar feel some resentment towards Quin?  The impression I get is t…[Read more]

(@joelle-stone *snorts derisively* Evie is many things, but unable to guard her thoughts is not one of them. 😂Dominic, on the other hand… JK, Evie has a really strong block around her thoughts and Dom is completely incapable of guarding his. You may use this to your advantage… 😁)

Evie gripped her sword tighter. Had that girl just……[Read more]

[i]“Lord Warin,” he greeted in Kith.  “What’s going on here?”[/i]

Brendin regarded the man, surprised at the address.  A Greycloak, and one of the Eya.  He must have known Bren from Isernbarre then.
“Call me Brendin,” Bren replied in Kith, and explained both that he did not recognize the man and the current situation.  “Don’t trust the dragon,”…[Read more]

Malvat stared – four newcomers, all at once. The first two were obviously brother and sister, obviously nervous and disoriented, and obviously not able to guard their thoughts (Denali?). Evie and Dominic, if he read their minds correctly. Evie would be hard to manipulate – her dislike of animals was clear in some of her memories. But Dominic… he…[Read more]

@denali-christianson

You did great!

Nithel breathed in and out, trying to catch his breath. Trying to understand. Had he fallen in a pit? Unlikely. Voices. Stone ground.

He felt at his side to make sure his sword was still strapped to him. Someone was talking to him. Voice kind. He didn’t know if he believed in kindnes- But no, he did. Nithel pushed his chest up a bit, then his…[Read more]

Lorcan

Lorcan could feel the tension in his spine as they moved closer to the sound of rushing water. He tightened his jaw. Something was coming. Again.

“I sense a presence,” he said in a low voice. “Something is waiting for us.”

Niarok met his gaze warily. “What is it?”

Lorcan stretched out his senses, feeling the shift and pull of the mole…[Read more]

Alessio had been so preoccupied with…well everything, he didn’t notice Jericho until her touch made him flinch. Why couldn’t he just stop flinching at everything…Her hand was warm, after everything it made him want to just let himself fall apart like there was nothing else to worry about. So tired of trying to suppress everything to keep functio…[Read more]

Sahar

A light flickered on. How did this place have so many lights? It was kind of impressive! I liked the way it brightly lit the room.

Acyn made a disgusted noise.

“Look at that, a puzzle. I hate this.”

Not just a puzzle. The floor was filled with deep craters, each so close to the others that it was impossible to walk between them.

“Want…[Read more]

@joelle-stone

*salutes*

He is back indeed.

*coughs* Welcome back, Nithel!! *cough cough*
