To be fair, you had never told Aymeric the exact sort of fairytale castle you had imagined in your youth. It didn’t seem like the sort of thing that needed explaining. You say ‘fairytale castle’ and instantly the images of white stone spires, lilac and blue stained glass, slowly falling drawbridge, and a garden of roses, is just what pops into mind.
For Aymeric though, you really sh...

You open your eyes to see the terrace door open, with Aymeric standing there looking out. His sharp eyes are peering deeply into the distance, but they aren’t focused on just anything.

The lineage of mayors in Hearthway Hollow is a short one. For the longest time, there hadn’t been any sort of government outside the Elders and their circle, and it wasn’t until the nineties that a true government body was formed to protect human interests, which were slowly growing in Hearthway Ho...

I’ve seen ships many times in my life, but never have I been aboard one. It feels strange to be on the water and yet so far away from it.

The sun is painfully hot, and the sand grates against my body as if it were trying to peel it away. I can barely breathe. I can’t move at all. I just lie here while the sun continues to beat down on me. I can’t remember how I got here. Vague faces and voices flash in the back of my mind. I’m so w...

When you were a kid, you joined a group of others around your age. It was part of a hero program in the works, before Hepheastus founded the Academy, and it was a rough time to say the least. You all had special abilities that you used on missions, and yours passed down for generations, allowed you to ...

Ages ago, violent sandstorms plagued the Neith kingdom. What had once been a sprawling metropolis of the Rakshasa, Lizardfolk, and Jackal peoples was destroyed and buried under sand, scattering the three across the continent for generations. The great kingdom now lies buried under the desert, and I’v...
