In between hammer blows, Cash heard the telltale sound of a light knock at her door. “The door’s open, I’ll be right there!” she bellowed, over her shoulder before putting the ingot back into the furnace and wiping some of the grime off of her face. As she made her way to the counter, she […]
”Are you ready?” Galen takes a deep breath and nods. Alarius gives him a disarming smile. “I am tempted to tell you to relax, that I’ll be with you the whole way, that it’s actually a calming experience, but we both know people can take the same stimuli very differently. Which, I suppose is why […]
As the afternoon hours wind toward evening, Merrick takes up a perch near a familiar watering hole. There is still plenty of light for hunting, but he is not kitted out for such a pastime. Were anyone there to witness it, they would find him decked in his armor, shield at the ready beside him […]
Another day begins at the Toothless Dragon. Another morning of dodging goblins as they run past in play or work was always a challenge to decipher.
