The Guild – Letters Concerning Rose 29

The Guild – Chapter 121 – Andrei

    I clutch my head as I feel a sudden pain behind my eyes. I drop to my knees with the intensity of it, squeezing them shut. What's brought this on? I wait a while for the pain to subside, hoping it’s just from lack of sleep and nothing more serious.     A …

The Guild – Chapter 120 – Andrei

I let out a growl of a yawn, stretching my legs and arms like a cat who's been sleeping half the day away. It feels good to finally get real sleep. I curl my hands into my chest and roll over, cracking an eye open to see if Kat's awake. The light from the window …

The Guild – Chapter 119 – Heath

Heath sits on the porch swing kicking his lanky legs as he swings back and forth. He sits by the window of his second foster family's house. He looks aimlessly at his feet as he kicks at nothing, listening anxiously to the conversation coming through the window. “Yes, yes, I heard you Mrs. Chen. But …

The Guild – Chapter 118 – Caroline

    I roll my lips, chewing them nervously as I sit alone at a table in the caf, watching Ceph and Eli eat lunch across the hall. I don’t know why I find him so… what's the word… alluring? I mean… Selene’s right… I shouldn’t even be thinking about it. Ceph is gay. But… …

The Guild – Chapter 117 – Kaitlyn

    The night passes too quickly. I find myself lying awake most of the night, my eyes constantly drawn to the chair in the corner. Rose never came by after I saw her in the hall. I wonder if she knows about the egg? The few hours that I did manage to sleep feel …

The Guild – Chapter 116 – Andrei

    The new guy is tall and mysterious. With his dark-framed glasses, black curly hair and relatively pale skin, he almost reminds me of a vampire. He seems to me to be not a very social kinda guy. I watch as Kaitlyn and him talk and when she asks him personal questions, he seems …

The Guild – Chapter 115 – Heath

    Heath hauls himself out, one bright orange arm at a time. His body feels sluggish and heavy. With much time and effort, he reaches the edge of the crater and the expansive black field of hard molten rock, except now… it's not black. A deep red and orange lava slides across the old …

The Guild – Chapter 114 – Selene

    “Markus,” I stand in his doorway, at the top of the spiral staircase. He looks up from his papers, a pair of brand new glasses resting on the bridge of his nose.     “Ah, good evening. What brings you here so late?” he asks, leaning back in the old wooden chair. It …

The Guild – Bump in the Night – Andrei

“Andi, I got an email about this event in Toronto. I was thinking, why don’t we all go, hmm?” Kaede asks from his laptop on the couch across from me in the library. “What event is it?” I ask without looking up from the book I’m reading; The 1600th century, from a Mage’s Perspective. The …

The Guild – Chapter 113 – Heath

    “Tag, you're it!”     “I'm not playing,” Heath shouts.     “You’re just chicken!”     “And you’re stupid,” he mumbles.     “I'm not stupid! Mom! Dad! Heath called me stupid!”     “I did not!”     “Cut it out or we’ll leave you both at the hotel next time,” …

The Guild – Chapter 112 – Kaitlyn

    My eyes snap open, but I can’t see anything. I sit up, pushing the covers away. There’s a pitter-patter on the window; it’s raining hard. Something doesn’t feel right. I don’t remember falling asleep or dreaming. I reach for Andrei, but I only feel empty sheets. As a flash of lightning fills the …

The Starfall – A Tale from DND

Bringing back Fren I lead Keara and Boomah down to Fren’s magic lab. I hate to do this. It goes against everything I promised him. Not only did he ask me to keep everyone else out of it, he asked me specifically to keep Boomah out. I have no idea why but I respect his …

The Starfall – A Tale from DND

After the Bore I stand at the helm, the cool wind of the night blowing against my face rather refreshingly. I’m not at all pleased with forking out my loot, even if it in ransom. I suppose if it helps the quest I kind of have to. The contract was clear. I am completely at …

The Starfall – A Tale from DND

Arriving in Fallhaven I sit at my vanity, combing my hair with a wooden comb I bought in Vaile Crelok city. I adjust my braids, redoing them and fixing the feathers and other adornments in my hair. After I’ve fixed my appearance I dress, replacing my Jewelry and Captains hat before exiting my apartments. We’ve …
