    • Runaway Dragon – Chapter 10 Cover
      by Claire Talon All instances of executed justice looks about the same in Eyren's eyes, across this continent. Maybe not the exact rites, the judges entailed, the terms employed or the ratio of crowds permitted, but should it be a public one that a township aspires to set up, they have a tendency of equaling each other in one way or another. In spite of that the scene here in Kambaresa is designed to be a trial and therefore guilt hasn't been verified, everyone in attendance has knowledge of the result which will come…

    • Shadow at the temple – Chapter 10 Cover
      by Claire Talon The civic stint in Dezasha marches on with no end in sight. Having used the past two days lingering in this simulated adaptation of 'investigating' which she agreed on with Malkiz, Eyren supposes that the main angle she's been subsumed in is staying out of sight. She has wandered about, of course, spoken with strangers and locals in various nooks and crannies, but none of it has really amounted to a whole lot. And why would it? She's not really meant to solve a great mystery per se. The real task laid…

    • How to gut a shadow – Chapter 3 Cover
      by Claire Talon It is a peculiar thing, Eyren will accede. The fact that Herdbrand do not leave corpses behind does inescapably augment the outlandishness of these monsters, should one exclude the little faded glyph which falls to the ground in the aftermath, of course. Having slain quite a margin of them up until this day, on the other hand, she's partially grown past vexing her mind or theorizing on the subject, but when her employer sought proof of a terminated task, she had to point him to these runic stones that had…
    • Runaway dragon – Chapter 11 Cover
      by Claire Talon The turn for the worse rolled in ahead of them faster than Eyren had imagined. She had an inkling this circumstance of theirs wouldn't be a smooth affair in the long run, and multiple obstacles ran the risk of bumping into them, which she was toiling to circumvent. In the end, none of her predictions fully came to fruition in the manner she'd hoped, and to be tied up this close to the exit is...an almost last-minute hurdle, one she would've advocated for facing earlier. Then it'd be no more than a last run…

    • Shadow at the temple – Chapter 11 Cover
      by Claire Talon Darkness and the earliest stages of night have fallen upon Dezasha as Malkiz and Eyren encroach on the elected complex of their probing. Besides the dimensions of the setting, Eyren wouldn't judge that this warehouse is any more special than its neighbors. It stands roughly two stories tall, so it has that going for it, but the wooden construction, the tiled roof with the curved corners and the low-lying wall around it doesn't make it stand out noticeably. Then again, there are a couple of guards…

    • Runaway dragon – Chapter 1 Cover
      by Claire Talon The first half of the third month eta-Lashaati (Ripple), the last month of spring, 151 years after the impact of the Fallen Black Star Up among the northern quarter of the heartland, nestled at the cusp where the 'real' northward provinces of the realm begins, with stout and dark stone walls facing in this direction, lies a city constructed upon the premise of arising as a bulwark against the foul raiders who would dare to trespass deeper south. In fact, its very name 'Kambaresa' supposedly has the…
    • Shadow at the temple – Chapter 1 Cover
      by Claire Talon The onset of the fifth month eta-Lagretan (Bounty), the middle month of summer, 151 years after the impact of the Fallen Black Star Green fields rimming a blue snake of dark water. A silent and heated wind kissing her earlobes, whispering of rumors and fleeting notions that pass by the land without ever fully touching those who might need to catch on. A wooden vessel carrying on forward above it, while holding the traveler who seeks one of the destinations that the fluid spirits bring along the deluged…
    • Shadow at the temple – Chapter 12 Cover
      by Claire Talon For Eyren, the seconds ahead of a battle are ever ones of storming sensations and uncertain anticipations. She does have her training which has steeled her better than most for how one deals with the nervousness and the doubt in the face of death, but one can never be 100% clear on how one's body will respond, which she knows all too well. There have been moments where she's stumbled at the last breath, or taken a risk when she really should've stepped back and calculated her options. Reevaluation isn't…

    • Runaway dragon – Chapter 2 Cover
      by Claire Talon The sweep isn't being as fruitful as Eyren would've cared for. Having spent several days across the lanes of Kambaresa, reviewing taverns, market visitors and rattling with a number of laborers, her results are fairly lacking. There's been nothing specific of use that has come up, and though she did stumble across an individual who contended that he spotted a pair of dragon horns, Eyren wouldn't pin plenty of faith on him, mainly influenced by that he was fairly drunk at that point. Then again, a…

    • Shadow at the temple – Chapter 2 Cover
      by Claire Talon The afternoon sun has hit the landscape, bathing the world below it in a benign burning field of sunlight, akin to the brilliance of a hearth. Behind her, Eyren and her raptor companion leave the occasional racket of birds and the lapping of the river fish that accompany the ferries which sail into the ongoing climate, to instead come upon a terrain which oozes cacophony everywhere. With a gentle breeze blowing across Eyren's face, she assists Razz in keeping after her as they cross the boards onto solid…
