Rusted Knight

Nice “death” scenes @rusted-knight and @jasmine!! And I like the next trap idea. 😀

“To love,” Alessio answered without thinking “it’s the only thing any god would have to gain by giving humans free-will…”

So you know that to be true. But, how do you live? What is your personal purpose in surviving? And the way you survive, are you loving others in doing so?

But Alessio was moving on. He didn’t like questions being posed to hi…[Read more]

Also @kylie-wingfeather and @rusted-knight

Is roleplaying allowed here?

Back when I was on Ydubs, there was a certain time during the month when we could rp, and the rest of the month we couldn’t. I wasn’t just wondering on what the standing on rp was here.

I really love where the story is going right now, y’all are amazing writers

@this-is-not-an-alien and @kimlikesart and @rusted-knight and @joelle-stone

I’ve seen a fair bit of your characters in the character castle, but I haven’t really seen anything of your worlds.  Do you have any holidays?

@rusted-knight

thankaaaaa

Alessio seemed lost in thought, a bit of pain, fear… but also a small steady confidence… like a great question was just answered, but it dislodged a million more.

Alessio’s head lowered a moment, then his eyes came up timidly to meet Nithel’s. “When does doing what it takes to survive become a sin?”

Nithel’s head straightened a moment, Deep q…[Read more]

Ok, so I wasn’t the only one who couldn’t log in on here! Phew!

@joelle-stone

Ha ha, yeah. What with all the forest fires last summer, I learned not to take the security of the mountains for granted. We had so much smoke that my favorite mountains (and the ones closest to us) completely disappeared, leaving… flatness. It was honestly pretty s…

Aha! I can post again!! Sry for the long absence; I couldn’t get logged in for whatever reason. I’ve been reading everything!

I had the exact same thing! I’m glad it’s working again!

@this-is-not-an-alien

do people like characters because they want to be like that character, or because they are like that character?

Hmm, fasci…[Read more]

Something brushed against her hand, and Riure realized it was an arm. She rested her hand atop it, curling her fingers around the cuff of his… shirt? Tunic? Robe? Whatever he was wearing.…[Read more]

“What was that?” Alessio asked, face stunned completely.

What was he talking about? The words I spoke? But the youth was already barreling on.

“Where did you learn about the old religion? What can you tell me about it?” Alessio shook his head, trying to clear his mind. “I thought no one kept the old legends anymore, but no one else believes…[Read more]

Happy Valentine’s Day all!

At Alessio’s small shrug, Nithel relaxed inside. Though, he could feel the secret hurting their possible trust. Alessio deserved a reason for why.

“I don’t use my father’s name either,” Alessio said, as if trying to offer something of his own in exchange for what Nithel had.

Nithel smiled wistfully inside, amused, but also thankful. He was a g…[Read more]

Riure cocked her head, listening as someone took a seat and the prince made some comforting, sympathetic noises. She could imagine him wincing.

“When did you say this happened? You haven’t been gone that long.”

So then it was Princess Liorah who he was addressing. Probably.

“About… three or four hours, I guess,” she answered, clipped accent ri…[Read more]

Virtus turned to run with the others, but he couldn’t help glancing back just once to see what their leader was doing.

There was a flash, then the archway crumbled into a pile of rubble. Virtus restrained a surprised yelp and sprinted faster, through an opening and into a dark, arched-ceilinged tunnel. No windows.

“That should tie him up for a…[Read more]

“Good morning. Or evening. Does anyone know?” Something fluttered against Riure’s cheek, and she smiled.

“Late afternoon, where I came from,” Prince Gavril responded, his tone polite. Riure felt her eyebrows lift. He didn’t seem surprised to see a small flying man perching on her shoulder.

“Now let us see who the new folks are,” Master Ziess sai…[Read more]

“I’ll fight it, sir, if you order me to.” The lad sounded like he had given up. “It would give you enough time to escape.”

“You won’t fight alone,” Nithel replied, firm. He was staring at the lad, and Virtus noted the swirl of emotion in his eyes.

Virtus really wanted to say something, but he just straightened his back and turned his eyes on Isa…[Read more]

“I’ll fight it, sir,” Alessio spoke quietly.

Nithel looked toward him, the man’s eyes were warm, still kind. Whether Alessio was some strange race that could use fire, or a warlock… He was his friend. The first couldn’t be helped, and the latter was wrong. But a wrong could be righted. Confusion fought in the gates of Nithel’s eyes, but he wo…[Read more]

“Denied.” Isaac already had an answer. “Reason one, I have ranged weapons, explosives and knives, and I know how to use them well. Reason two, you lack any knowledge of the man’s position. This castle changes. Rooms that used to be joined won’t be when you return. Which leads to reason three. If you leave, there is a better chance of you not retur…[Read more]

A roar reverberated throughout the room, making everyone jump. Virtus unconsciously grasped his sword hilt. Dragons were myths. He’d never heard of one re-growing forgotten limbs.

“Run,” Isaac cried, springing away towards a doorway. The lad followed hesitantly.

“Wait!” Virtus shouted. “If the castle changes, it can redirect us straight into a…[Read more]
