In your eyes, the secret lies, dark tears almost falling.What secret do you hold so closethat I cannot hide from your eyes.Sensual form, perfect lips,the hated geometry now controlling.I see the detail, I see the beauty, but cannot escape your hauntin…

He rose while she still slept, and left the room the world still dark, but light touching the sky with threat of the rising sun..His foot falls were silent as he walked through the town.. he enjoyed this time of day.. the fading darkness, the coming d…

The field was quiet the shadows swirling softly about them as they sat cross-legged staring off in different directions..The world faded in and out, the colours of the field graying and returning as the world shifted in and out.. Something about this …

Everywhere she looked, people were staring at her. Everyone she talked to got the same glazed look, the laughter. She pulled her feet closer to her, sitting against a tree trunk outside the tavern. Her skirt carelessly splayed out next to her, a book…

It has been a while since I went and took a look to see how much traffic we are getting a month on the site. After doing a little quick math we have had over 84,000 hits this month – and there is still another week left in the month!

…
Engale awoke with a start as the dream mixed inside his mind, third night in a row now that this dream played with his mind. He sat up and leaned over the bowl of water placed next to his bed, lifting some of the liquid to his face as he tried to let the dream fade as most dreams will. Eventually he let go of letting go of it and stood up dressing himself lightly for the warm weather they where having. As he left the house he grabbed his staff, hooking the door with it and closing his house, a small spell to stop others from entering as he left.

He walked down the road and towards Moonglow proper, Stopping to chat with this or that person that happened to be awake at this early of an hour, however Engale was never known to be the early one out, just out of training, never had high marks, most thought him a good boy, but just that. He rounded the final corner of moonglow and took a knee in front an empty throne, bowed his head and waited.

Engale stayed there, bended knee, for what seemed like days to him, however they where but only minutes, this was the day Engale would meet his master of magic and become a grand student. Engale was only here this early as to not have the dream any longer, he was tired of the dream and when the Grand Mage Levioan it was almost as if he could guess that Engale wasn’t truly here to learn of his master.

“What brings you this early to learn Engale?” Levioan stated as he took his chair in front of the student. “Stand and tell me what troubles you young Magus.

Engale did as he ordered and stood up and spoke softly, almost timid in front of a man he admired. “I am haunted by a dream and sleep is where dreams lie, so waking spears me the haunting.” Engale explained with no expression.

“Describe this dream that can haunt one to become a master of magic.” Levioan did not ask for this to be done, but it was not an order either, it was an offer for Engale to share his burden with another.

Engale’s eyes widened at this offer and he jumped at the chance. “For three days now I’ve suffered the dream, since graduation.” Engale paused for a moment, had it only been three days? He regained his focus and continued. “I see a gate, much like the ones we use to travel between shards, but it’s different, it is…” Engale paused again this time trying to find the right word but lacking any better “Tattered. There are elves there… and they are begging for me to save them, and as they do they are being attacked, huge creatures of rock and gem plague them and are trying to destroy them.” Engale finally finished his description and took a deep breath, he had done as well as he could at describing his dream to someone he thought could help, or explain, something he looked at the Grand Mage and watched as the old man pondered what he was told.

Levioan nodded as Engale finished his statement. Levioan knew that a dream like this was an SOS but how should it be received? Should they rush to the aid of an unknown shard? Should they go to war with beings of gems? There where too many questions to be answered here and too many unknowns, first off all shards they where aware of had no elves to them, they had all chosen to leave a long time ago. If this was truly the elves calling for aid, he shook his head, and spoke what he knew Engale would not want to hear. “The Elven kind have chosen to leave us. On all shards we have found so far, Not one of them had remained. They waned to be rid of the shard’s magic for good, their fate is now in their hands Engale. We can do nothing to help them, we do not even know how to reach them to help and it would be a waist of time to try.”

Engale looked crushed and as Levioan finished his words of council to Engale the other finished students started to flock in to find out who would be their master and pass on their secrets of the magics to the next generation. Engale waited and stood still as they where being inspected by all the masters, some of shape shifting, others found grace with enchantments, but right now only one would please, no not please that was the wrong word, satisfy Engale as a master and he stood there, waiting and waiting for the right master to choose him, to teach him the secrets of their part of the craft so that it could be furthered, but he would leave if any other master than Katrina chose him.

There comes a time in every adventures life when he has to sit back and take stock of what he has accomplished. One often wonders what life could have been like. Or for that matter what life may have been like had he walked down another road. True, the company he found himself in was tested and true. A person in his line of work could scarcely ask for finer companions. But still, in times like these he did wonder what life might have been like had he settled down. Maybe wed that fine looking red head Melinda from Loneridge. Sired a group of fine looking young ones. Darnell Swiftarrow’s thoughts were abruptly interrupted by the loud and voicestress dwarf has he sat down across form him and slammed his rather full drinking mug down apron the table.

Darnell watched as golden ale violently sloshed over the brim of the mug. The Dwarf Oren looked to be in good spirits, maybe even a little too good Darnell thought! “Darnell, what in the blazes are ye doing over here! Come join us laddie!” Boomed the dwarf as he raised his mug and drank deeply of the golden liquid. “Ye have been sitting over here for far to long pining over that red head of yours! It ain’t right to sit here as ye do do after a day as we have had! Let her go lad! Its what’s best!”

“Now Oren, for one I am just as old as you are! There will be none of this lad this and lad that talk! I know how you get on days as these. After you’ve hefted that mighty axe of yours and cleaved orc skulls! It goes strait to your head!” Darnell Swiftarrow laughed merely as he spoke, “Don’t be letting it get to that think skull of yours! I won’t be having any of this ‘lad’ business as you down your ale and become all introspective on me!”

The Dwarf put on what must have been intended as a feigned hurt look yet come off as something shy of comical. It was all Darnell could do to hold in his laughter as just the site of the dwarfs crinkled up bearded face was enough to bring even a sour orc to tears of laughter. All of this did little to help the dwarfs mood or his disposition.

To be continued …. Probably.. hahah

Maya would be a young girl roughly around 22 years of age. After a long afternoon of socializing and mini tea parties she would take a stroll in the garden. It was here that she was attacked. At first it was one, then two and before she knew it she was being carried away by at least 10 Orc warriors. The princess next finds herself being hauled in an all together poorly built boat which she was uncertain if they were floating on logs or shit because of the smell. Her situation was certainly desperate and the Orcs were eyeing her for more than one reason. When they arrived to the coast of a land mass that she hadn’t recognized she was terrified. The Orcs dragged her kicking and screaming all the way down into the pits of their dungeon only to throw her in a cell. There were unintelligible threats on her life and she was afraid of being eaten but more over by the smell. Her situation was quickly degrading when the Orc commander came into the cell and ripped her mothers charm from her Neck. Now beaten, alone, afraid, and unprotected she crawled up into a ball and cried.

Leroy had been fending off the groups of Orc that were besieging the town. The man was exhausted as the battle slowly died down and the king was secured. After the panic the kingdom started counting heads it was then they knew the princess had been taken. The king and Leroy were completely distraught and didn’t know what to do. So Leroy set out with a small band of adventurers and tracked down the Orcs to their cave but they met strong opposition and their party was quickly dispatched. Leroy did the only thing he knew to do, he prayed. “Oh kind and lovely lady Amelia. Please I am desperate.” He closed his eyes for a moment and when he opened them again he was in the land of NarrowHaven. The adventure blessed with his dieing breaths ran around like a chicken with his head cut off begging and pleading for help. This is when a group of citizens gathered together and vowed to rescue the princess. Leroy with his last act opened a portal to the entrance of the Orc cavern.

There the adventures, freed Princess Maya, Rescued her trinket and safely secured her in the INN. (This is where you get to add more story by replying to this post! Good Luck Adventurers!)

[Lore Notes]
The Golden Empire is believed to be on an island off the coast of Britannia. It was created by a small group of survivors after the fall of civilization. Maya has not returned yet but is looking for a brave sailor to return her to her homeland.
