Minna walked away from Aelerion, over the water and into the nearest bar in Booty Bay. She looked at the bar and her surroundings and she just… couldn’t. Her feelings were reeling, she actually felt nauseas. How is that even possible? she wondered, I’m undead.

She pulled her ( Read more... )

The library was usually a pleasant place for her, with it’s tall ceilings and plenty of light from the floor-to-ceiling windows, surrounded by the comforting hug of bookshelves brimming with old tomes and the musty smell of their pages. But today Lilith sat at the large table in ( Read more... )

My head feels like it did when I woke up from the coma-heavy like a sack of ore and painful to lift. I could barely make the tea Lore left for me. But I did manage to drink all of it. Now I’m laying against the pillows ( Read more... )

I invited Kassogtha to have lunch with me today at the Legerdemain. I decided to bite the bullet and tell her the news, so I made myself prepared for any reaction she may have. As expected, she had a smug look when I told her that Luthor said he loved me. She’s ( Read more... )

Last night I stopped by the manor to give Luthor a present. I finally finished the robes I’ve been working on for him and felt compelled to give them to him right away. It was late, but I figured he wouldn’t mind and of course he didn’t. In fact, he was glad I ( Read more... )

((This was from a writing prompt on my guild’s forums back in July that I totally forgot to cross-post here. Enjoy!))

The red-haired priestess sat at a table in the Cantrips & Crows bar area, a mug of something hot cradled between her small hands and her face hidden mostly by the ( Read more... )

I met Kassogtha in the Purple Parlor today, to apologize for what had transpired between us the night of her shadow blights. I hadn’t meant to be rude or condescending, and I told her thus. She seemed to not mind, telling me no apology was needed. I’m glad she ( Read more... )

It was a night much like any other, but for some reason Lilitharien could not bring herself to concentrate on her studies. The young acolyte’s mind swam with thoughts-about her upcoming tests to become a Priestess, about the orphanage, about her fortunes of which she had so little ( Read more... )

A rogue surprised me in my room at the Legerdemain today. Her name is Lorelli and she had a nasty knife wound. I’m not exactly sure from where but the gist I got was that it had something to do with her previous employer. Salotte, the orc woman who had helped ( Read more... )

22nd of May, Year 40

Today I found a letter tucked into the book I was reading. It’s from Luthor, written in his own hand and placed precisely where he knew I would find it. The letter speaks of his feelings for me, the things he wishes me to know but cannot find the courage to say ( Read more... )
