Handmaiden

(@emily-waldorf that’s perfectly fine! 🙂)

(Due to the fast-pacing of this roleplay, however, if there is activity while you are gone, I might have to move past this idea to keep up with the story. Please don’t have hard feelings if you come back and the story has moved on. 😬😅 Most of this is beyond my power)

The chatter from the others was indistinct to Rúan’s ears as he tried to forcibly turn and twist his mind into understanding.

That, however, resulted in a migraine so harsh that his consciousness wavered for a beat.

Because he was frustrated that his reasoning kept hitting dead ends, his hair fwoom!ed again, and the unpleasant smell of smoke b…[Read more]

“No.”

The word was not harsh, nor was it meant to be crushing, but it mercilessly extinguished the hope that had, unbeknownst to him, been flaming in Rúan’s chest.

He nearly dropped Leaghadh.

Instead, he lowered his sword slowly, keeping his elbow locked at his hip. He tried to suck in deep breaths through his nose, but instead, whirled arou…[Read more]

(All right, I’m just going to pretend that Rúan had grabbed his sword)

Rúan felt the ground rumble under his feet, and he jumped nearly half an inch off the ground.

Then a voice that seemed to echo in his head and reverberate around the cavernous room declared, “I’ve been thinking about the next challenge, and it occured to me that sever…[Read more]

(Whoa, I’m so so sorry, I need a minute to read this all)

Ruan’s story is so tangible and it makes me want to give him a big hug lol.

He’d probably kill me, but that’s okay. I would die for a good cause. XD

(Ahw, I’m glad you feel that way!)
(Of course, Rúan probably doesn’t, and you’re probably right, but it still makes me happy 😊)

(Rúan: *is slightly terrified that his Mama Authoress would just le…[Read more]

I don’t know Rúan that well yet, sorry 🙂 If someone does something out of character it’s a rule you can go back and rewrite if you want.

(Ohhh, okay — thank you for letting me know)

Energy pulsed through Rúan’s left arm in heartbeat flow, stirring the fire in his soul. He closed his eyes to briefly succumb to the sword’s ever-…[Read more]

Now he looked dubious, but then shrugged, as if he didn’t care either way. Drat. I’d been hoping I could dodge that question.

(Just saying, shrugging is not too in-character for Rúan 🙂)

I’m just assuming he has a sword XD I have no idea XD

(Ah, don’t worry, Rúan’s almost always got a sword)

(Author’s note: Tribeless basically means outlawed.…

@mamaauthoress

I just remembered something, I don’t know if you have notifications on, that makes it easier to keep up with the castles 🙂 Otherwise it can be a lot to keep track of.

Ohh … that’s why I’m never getting any notifications from this … how do you turn them on?

The young man that Niarok had been conversing w…[Read more]

A pit formed in Rúan’s stomach as he watched Niarok make his way across the cave to someone else. Maybe he should not have snapped at the man who had possibly just saved his life, but apologizing just seemed like a bad idea at the moment.

Plus … Niarok unsettled him, with that warm, intuitive gaze that seemed to reach for the depths of his soul…[Read more]

(Whoa, sorry, I’m kind of lost — it’s a lot to read through. Could I please have a summary, if you do that here? 😅)
