The lights darkened once more before blinking back to full brightness. They had been doing such for hours, as Rylie rushed around the apartment. They were packing as quickly as they could. Once more, the lights flickered, and for a moment Rylie thought they saw someone watching through the window. But no. That was impossible. The curtains were still covering them and as much as the lights flickered, there was no storm. Just a threat in the air. Something was coming. A crack echoed through the apartment, causing Rylie to pause in thei...
“Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, Tieflings and Halflings… and whatever the seven hells that thing is. Welcome to The Nether Amphitheater!” The blond-haired bard stood in the center of the stage with his voice amplified by a spell as he looked around at the filled seats. This was the biggest show of the year, and he was sure it was going to be their best yet. He shook out his whole body as if he had the shivers before grinning and turning in a circle to look down into the arena at the men and women that were gathered there. Peo...
The war had been raging for as long as any could remember. The Dragons and the Artificers both believed they were in the right of things, but neither side would relent. Not until the others were gone. The Dragons believed they were peaceful, and they should share their knowledge with the world. They gave it freely, with no schools.

They could not entrust wisdom and ...

He hadn’t considered him in a long time. “I haven’t seen him in years. Haven’t given him much thought honestly. I always lose a piece of me when I think of him.” “Now, why is that?” “Well, probably because he brought out this feral side of me. I let loose a savage side when I was around him. He never judged me. It was acceptance of who I am.” “But we’ve talked about t...

It started with a hum. The dawn was coming, and she thought it would be the perfect chance to practice her newest creation. A simple hum. One simple gesture. A way with sound, a wave of fingers, and an ember floated down to the earth below her feet. Lighting the grass on fire before being snuffed out by her bare foot. She giggled at the sting before she hummed again, focusing on her fingers and watching as more embers rained down from her fingers. Littering the ground like fresh rain, sizzling on the dewdrops. But it did not sizzle one emb...

The Sightless Knights were supposed to always be there for the people of Sanctum Reach. No matter the problem, their light was supposed to shine bright like the sun. They looked beyond everything to bring hope and peace to the land, but in the darkest of times, they were failing. They were lost and scrambling and no one knew what they could do to fix things. Carson Faraday, the leader of the Sightless Knights and bravest of them all, knew the day would come when the Knights would face a threat that they could not face. But he never thought...

The party started softly; in each home along the river, they lit their fires and started their music, filling the small village with light and sound. Slowly, as the moon rose in the sky above, the sounds and lights from the village grew. Louder and louder, the merriment sounded, filling the evening skies with laughing and joyful singing. This was a celebration that only happened once in a lifetime, and not a single soul in all of Sanctum Reach would have missed it.Carson Faraday was a young man and a captain to a small team of men. They foll...
