[Kozha] WoW - Keeping Busy!
"And this charm will keep away the evil spirits?" the pandaren asked.
Kozha nodded back and tapped a large, thick finger on the small totem. "Dat it will," he said. "Just put it in yah doorway, and it'll keep out da bad ones."
The pandaren man bowed gratefully and quickly ran off. The young Darkspear man loved the forest, the vibrant greens and ( Read more... ) -
[Risska] WoW - Wounded
Risska smiled, her bright white teeth the only visible part of her in the darkness of the keep. The waiting had been interminable, the boredom of camp life and keeping watch only broken by her friend’s visit. Jayyson had grown much from the timid boy she’d first met. She did not need to worry about him anymore; he had become a man. The call had ( Read more... ) -
[Risska] WoW - Watching and Waiting
By now, the routine was drilled into Risska’s memory as much as it was the ones she was watching. The orc kept still in her spot, concealed by her armor covered with strips of frayed cloth the same color as the foliage of the trees in the marsh.
Second watch, left rampart guard twelve steps down, then turns away from the marsh and then back up ( Read more... ) -
[Risska] - TSW - Under the Boardwalk, Down by the Sea
“Let it down gently now!” Risska called up the ladder, her voice muffled by the mask she was using to cover her mouth and nose. A faint circle of illumination from the sewer opening up above her was enough for her to see by for now, at least.
From above her she could hear Landa grunting with effort as she shifted the large, heavy bag into position. ( Read more... ) -
[Risska] - TSW - Change in Direction
Inside the room, the darkness was near absolute. The fog hanging over Kingsmouth like a seething blanket kept out much of the sun’s light, let alone the moon’s weak rays. Risska and Landa lay next to each other on a large sleeping pad, the larger, darker-skinned woman’s arm draped over her friend’s stomach. Their breathing was deep and regular, ( Read more... ) -
[Laurence - TSW] The Hero
“I think that went well, don’t you?” Laurence asked no one in particular. He was curled underneath a thin blanket, trying to rest on one of the pews in the church. He was used to the California weather; New England might as well have been a frozen tundra. He wasn’t sure what karma was doing to him lately, but he knew he didn’t like it.
At first ( Read more... ) -
[Salkonan] - A Mix-Up in Paperwork
“Looking forward to another long night, Sunsear?” Delathis spoke with the perfect mix of mocking overtone and serious inquiry to make her colleague’s eye twitch slightly. As always, her robe was impeccable, even after a long day of working with enough ink to drown a moderate-sized Tauren.
Fortunately for him, Salkonan Sunsear’s back was turned to ( Read more... ) -
[Howsa] - Through the Fire and the Flames
Howsa felt darkness and fire. He always knew that was how it was going to end for him, but he expected the heat to be more intense. The sensation was muted though, less like the searing sting of the liquid fire he carried and more like he was sitting too close to a campfire. Sounds slowly filtered in next, the rustling of branches and leaves in ( Read more... ) -
[Shujaa] - Protecting the Empire
The spirits’ call I have never been able to hear. I see others speak to them, I see others call forth their power to work destruction, or mend wounds. This young one has used their blessing to seek me out. The goblin town should be safe to meet him; they keep the peace so that people will bring gold to them, to trade.
“You are Shujaa, of the ( Read more... ) -
[Shujaa] - Show of Strength
I sit, and wait. Have I prepared all I must? Blades sharpened, arrows coated with venom. Songs have been sung, the dances been done. The hot, dry wind blows over me, I feel the sand under my armor wear at my skin. All has been prepared; I know when my prey will come. Tomorrow, the hunt will end.( Read more... )
