- 210 When Ra.s.sa had trained, both with his father and with Victor in the memories, he had found that dancing was similar to the rhythm of battle. Like battle, his steps had to be precise. His movements smooth. The only difference that Ra.s.sa had been able t

- 224 Ra.s.sa was running. Running so fast that the wind seemed to part for him. The scents of the forest permeated the air, soothing and invigorating him as he ducked and weaved around trees, over rivers and through valleys. He paused on one side of a meadow f

- 240 He was ready, so why couldn't he find the d.a.m.n cave? It was frustrating to no end, circling through the woods and around the meadow and coming up with no results. He'd been positive that this was exactly what Surai had meant before she prompt

- 242 It had taken Kit a good three hours to steal a Knight's Badge. He wasn't proud of the time it had taken, and Olly had certainly been frustrated with him, but he'd had to wait for them to let their guard down. Kit didn't usually wonder
- 243 Surai had watched with curiosity at first. She had slit the wrist of one of the invaders to her territory, invaders that had harmed the forest, and she had held the struggling man's b.l.o.o.d.y wrist over Ra.s.sa's mummified body's mouth.Sh

- 246 The s.h.i.+p crawled. It was so slow as it navigated through the rocks and reefs that surrounded Herguard that Aegin often had to question if they were moving at all. He couldn't even see Ebony up in the crow's nest, her calls telling him increm

- 251 The fight in the Arena below was just as brutal and b.l.o.o.d.y as always. The only difference this time seemed to be that Lord Revierre had learned his lesson from last time. He had not thrown mere Guards into the Arena to challenge the Reapers, no he�

- 255 In these trying times, I feel like everyone needs a bit of extra entertainment. I figure I'll do my part, as small as it is, and release a little snippet of what I've been working on for Ra.s.sa & Falla's short story series. I hope everyone

- 262 *Eldovian Era 1713, 14th day of the 11th month*Devina hadn't been able to believe her eyes. Had she done it? Had she found the path of Chaos that she'd been destined to? The man that she'd seen had moved so quickly. She'd glimpsed a lo

- 265 Aegin had stayed hidden and silent in the shadows of one of the dockyards as he had waited for the dawn to rise. Still, but on the verge of impatience, he'd cast his mind again and again to the burn on his skin, and the shutting down of his very soul. It

- 273 *Eldovian Era 1713 18th day of the 12th month*Aegin gave a huff of disappointment as he drew back the curtain from the window of his cabin. The sun had set, the moon was out, and Devina wasn't back. They were in the middle of the Jade Sea, so odds were t

- 279 Devina followed Aegin quickly as he made his way into the Marina's public lounge. The storm barely seemed to affect him. He was unmoved by the wildly s.h.i.+fting s.h.i.+p and the thras.h.i.+ng water."Aegin!" she called, "Wait, Aegin!&

- 284 Well now he'd gone and done it. Sensing the utter stillness of a room, Aegin had a second to realise he'd just thrown his entirety of his survival instincts out of the window, and wasted plenty of silver doing it. He'd have to kill them all
