    • Shadow at the temple – Chapter 3 Cover
      by Claire Talon The hustle and bustle of the market district hadn't genuinely been a concern in the preparation for her present visit. To go through it was practically a must in order to reach her proper destination, since there aren't traditionally any roads that lead away from if you aspire to land on the contrary end of Dezasha. She has had mileage for those streets in the past, when she originally came around here and was sniffing for a commission which could suit her needs, but these days there's another sector that…
    • 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…
    • Shadow at the temple – Chapter 13 Cover
      by Claire Talon The tempest had passed and the shadow over Dezasha descended. A smatter of days past the struggle against Ozdemir-turned-Herdbrand, Eyren and Malkiz have both to varying degrees recuperated, and in this period they've been resting inside the quarters which the latter arranged in her role as lady Zarqui. Eyren's recovery span was far shorter than Malkiz's, predominantly due to her Fateworn abilities, which turned out to be a mind-twister for Malkiz, who has remained fairly sore. In the latest sessions, the…

    • 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…

    • 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…

    • 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…

    • 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…
    • Runaway dragon – Chapter 9 Cover
      by Claire Talon Out of nowhere, the variables are altering. Whilst the trio had swapped to another inn in order to lie low and predict their opponents' movements, things out on the streets had not stayed homogeneous with their earlier perception of it. Increased volumes of guards have started patrolling varied streets, the number of outsiders allowed inside has decreased drastically, and the central plaza is being surveilled extensively, with people being limited only to certain parts of the market. What that could be…

    • Runaway dragon – Chapter 8 Cover
      by Claire Talon The days in places like Kambaresa can get pretty tedious at times for outsiders, when there isn't a ton of activities to get stuck in, or maybe more so while one knows there is an event awaiting them, but a big gap up until it commences. As for the trio which Eyren has attached herself to, there's a manner of substance in between these, in that they're holding out for a break in the monotonous stream of normal life which they might capitalize on in order to escape, but they don't actually know when that…

    • Runaway dragon – Chapter 7 Cover
      by Claire Talon Some extra time spent on investigating didn't bring any real harm, after all. With the team of three going at it for a couple of days in order to scan the terrain and what troubles they may be facing in an otherwise obscure future, one could presume that the results they gained were only of moderate benefit, since Eyren doesn't know whether she's gotten any enhanced view of the landscape than she had earlier. However, she wouldn't consider this span to have been of no worth whatsoever, mainly on account of…
