The Forge of Heroes - Reunions
The shrill whistle ran through the mines, making every individual with keen ears wince. Luckily for Myra and Aryn, they did not boast such a keen set of ears. On the flipside though, Aida did. The wolfess nearly dropped her pick, reflexively reaching...
A Forge of Heroes - Ghosts
"Ah Kadjul," Svara muttered to himself, as he stood at the top of the hill. "There it is..." Before him, stretching off into the distance, was the massive city of Winterwrath. Once the biggest city in Arlea, Winterwrath was now nothing more than a...
Forge of Heroes - The Traitor
"So that's Greatwood?" Kiri asked, looking at the small town in the distance. "It's smaller than I thought..." "You won't find that many big cities in Arlea," Khayal agreed. "Most of our kind are still tribal. The ones that aren't spread themselves...
A Tail of Two Peoples - Reunited
"Come on Svara, it's been two days! We have to go back! Kar'na could be in trouble!" "You heard my orders, Kiri," Svara said, giving the wolf a sidelong glance. "I am to get you to Arlea. Kar'na told me to wait here for a week. If he doesn't show,...
A Tail of Two Peoples - Of Fire and Family
"Kiri? Are you even listening to me?" "Hmm? Oh no, sorry father," Kiri said, shaking his head sheepishly. He hadn't thought about K'eyush and Dakir in a long time. Thinking back to them had formed a sort of deep ache in his chest. They were good...
A Tail of Two Peoples - How it Began
Kiri was hiding under a bush, a large grin on his face, as Kytra wandered around looking for him. Kiri had always been good at hiding, and that enabled him a slight leg up in hide-and-go-seek. Following this, when _he_ was the hunter, he had a sharp...
A Tail of Two Peoples - Family
The announcement was received with silence, by both the small group and the assassins nearby. Whispers started to flow in the speechless void, everyone sharing with their neighbour this monumental news. It would be spread fast and, in decent order,...
A Tail of Two Peoples - Unexpected Kinship
It wasn't long after they left Wolf territories where Alpha K'injyu broke off from them to return to his own people. He'd come as an escort through Wolf territories so, as he claimed, the lone scouts who were _far_ out of earshot wouldn't attack. And...
A Tail of Two Peoples - The Tribals
"Alpha," the wolf guide said, bowing to a large, black-furred wolf, who was sitting on the ground. The group that'd been following him was kept back at a respectful distance. "We found trespassers travelling through our lands. They had the Others with...
Forge of Heroes - Ruminations
"Hello?" the white wolf asked, looking around. "Is there anyone there?" Kar'na had no idea where he was. Surrounding him, as though forming an impenetrable barrier, a massive forest stood. The trees, tall and lushious, were brilliant in their colour,...
Forge of Heroes - So it Begins...
Softly treading feet made little sound in the dark hallway under the Guild's headquarters. Even with the intense echo, the quiet individual knew how to tread softly. He'd been trained by one of the very best in the arts of stealth. Combat too, but the...
Forge of Heroes - Noble Sacrifices
The cart rocked slowly back and forth, piercing beams of sunlight dancing across the walls of the interior, poking through slats in the side. Though, these slats weren't useful in terms of an escape. Myra had already tried. Over and over again. Now,...
