(USFB): Eight: No Good Deed

The morning brought the unburdening of Orathone’s mind. Shadows were vanquished by the sweet rays of amber sunlight. Songbird’s tender choruses swept through the wind on a breeze infused with the calming aromas of nature itself. Yet, what kept Orathone from finding true peace in rising was the frantic tone Litheiuss took as he shook […]

(USFB): Seven: Shadowplay

There was little left to exchange between the two despite the sincerity both had willfully employed after the elk had been laid to rest. Between them still stood a gulf that was nearly unconquerable, yet neither could quite say why. Where the others, both the camps of West and East, would dissolve their equal parts […]

(USFB): Six: A Place of Death, and Life

Night brought silence and rest for all but the tortured mind of Orathone. He tossed and turned, thinking of the myriad ways he could have circumvented the tragedy of Terlynn’s demise. Regardless of his father’s blustering, Orathone had the truth of it in his heart and wasn’t confident it was a light he could shine on […]

Update 4/24

So it’s time for a little check-in. I’ve decided this might be a thing to do every now and then, every other month, probably unless I’ve got big news. I’m not big into divulging my personal life, not because I’m that private; I’m just not that interesting, I think, but I’d like to keep anyone […]

Under the Shadow of Forsaken Banners: One: The Lifeless Grounds

The haggard driftwood canoe sloshed through poisoned waters and the plant life that fed on such fare. For days and nights, Kovarlin could recount his life upon the sea until, unlike such days, his floating tomb ran aground. Overhead, fixed in his views, the stars shimmered and cried their last smarting radiance of the night. […]
