Tazlure

This is plain tragic. I doubt I will find another community (eh, using the word sounds a bit namby-pamby but 'tis true) that be as good an internet experience as Tazlure, thanks to you guys. Thanks to those who accepted and supported me, which is practical everyone I've written with - Draydis, Thran...

The gem in his hand was slightly warmer than normal, which is where the anomalies ended. But the heartstone was making little plink noises as it wobbled slightly on the floor. Tiny little sparks from the rock were freeing themselves every flicker or so and floated away on the still air. The potentia...

OOC: sorry for the late replies. Best excuse I have is work picking up "That seems... good," Ealiu conceded. She had stopped moving and her gaze was a little unfocused. "I've never gone to Audrey's for clothes, though, so I don't know anything but her reputation. And what I've seen o...

Craghley would have bet money on meeting their quarry at the festival. Some burns ago their little group had arrived at the festival and he'd leisurely followed Draydis at a moderate distance, nodding amiably at the faces of those he knew - townsfolk and legionnaire alike. He wore a pair of slim but...

Xandar may or may not still have been listening to Ssinith. The words, warping into images, plunged deeper into pure imaginings as they faded from contact with the adhiels' mind. Judging by these flashes of what passed for thought in the elemental, Ssinith appeared to have finally hit the nail of th...

Those present in the clearing could see that his entire body seemed to be covered in gray fur with black tiger-style stripes. From behind, the twisted scars from many orc whips could be seen despite the covering of fur. Whoever had whipped Dray seemed to have been hell-bent on destroying him, as th...

"Ye-es," Ealiu said, and then, "No. That doublet, perhaps. The leather looks good. Has a more 'practical' look to it... but, I'd leave the tunic. And the tights. Unless you had something else to go with them, like, hmm. Slim boots - and a plain shirt. The doublet would go quite nicely...

"Oh! Er... I've never really been taught such a thing. What an ambassador should look like." Ealiu gave a small cough. "But I shall do my best," she finished, the modesty of her statement highlighting and underlining that Ssinith could not be in better hands, or at least ones whi...

I need to become stronger? Have you not learned, or simply forgotten so quickly? I do not need anyone's strength but my own. I am yearning to return to the Aether, now that I am reminded why I do not bother with mortals. You presume that I would come under the yolk of one of the strings of gods thes...

"Your Excellence is helpful beyond thanks. But - thank you, none the less. If you think I should contact the Amun Rah embassy, then that is what I will do. Immediately. I have to know. And if it is your job, then you do as well." But then she blushed. "Sorry, I don't mean I'm forcing ...

"May be," said Craghley. "'T'was not magical to the best of my, nor my father's, experience. Never did tell me where he got it." Of course, he'd often mused that Derwent told him little about his mother. But several well-preserved wooden goods had decorated their home which he kn...

Xandar paused in his thoughts. Ah, another agreement? Yet this time I presume your motive to be largely selfish. Why should I let you use me so? The elemental may have been more wary but Ssinith had told his... companion? Acquaintance? Client.. ? Told it the reason straight off the bat, and Xandar w...

Light... well, who knew? One always took light into a dark place. It sounded about right for what they would be doing. "Aye, I agree. It may be that we will need to disperse with the shadows tonight. It may show us, and any observers, exactly what we fecht." "I too have been given a b...

Welcome back! Have fun, did we?

"If they have a problem with you, they will take it up with me personally." "That's - I appreciate that, ambassador. But, this is a family matter, and you've been - you are so busy, I mean, with your duties... I just don't feel justified to demand your time for this. Perhaps I can do...

Whatever you hear in the roar of fire, you put there yourself. Flames do not dance for the sake of mortals, despite what you may think. And I most definately shall not, either. Xandar shifted within the nexus of his crystalline home. The little duel with Ssinith - and the effort of reshaping the ge...

Ealiu tottered to her feet and immediately went to fetch a small hair broom and a granite crucible. Her eyes had a far away look, with her mind was elsewhere trying to tackle a problem which had fallen on her with the weight, and surprise, of a mountain. It would have been unsurprising if she had co...

In short, you will seek to make them unprepared for the attack, by making them prepare for a different kind. Xandar's flicker of silence informed Ssinith that the elemental was digesting this thought. I cannot sing. Singing belongs to the living things. Fire does not sing. I doubt this would fool m...

"It's a family name... the Everdarks. They hated my father." Ealiu's summer sky eyes met his. No, more like glittering frost. "They hated my entire family... no doubt they still do. There's nothing difficult in talking about them, since it was my father who drove their - their bloody ...

The waitress took the tip with a 'Cor, thank'ee miss! Shout if ye be needing something,' and departed. As per the standards of the evening's patrons, someone made a grab for her rear end on her way to the bar. The glowing smile didn't last long after that. The ripple of silence had also died out. No...

Xandar replied in a maliciously gleeful tone of voice. No, little firefly. For who would spread word of what awaits such as them? You are irritating, yes, but at least you have some modicum of respect, on occasion. It serves one well when dealing with powers of my stature and higher. Things were mos...

Ealiu was making no move but that of her mouth soundlessly forming one word. Her eyes, too, were moist and threatened to send a tear or two to run down her cheek. The stick rolled along the floor to Ssinith's knees. Its end was still alight and now it flared angrily; the heart of the slim piece of w...

"I, too, agree," said Craghley. Then to the others: "I will be downstairs afterwards, for someone best fill Baltimus' place in his absence lest the Gate go out of business," he finished, more to himself than any other. A feeble joke was in his very nature, and it shone out all th...

Well, they certainly had enough skill of arms between them. More accurately, between the others; Craghley was somewhat of a jack of all trades. He was sure, however, that there would be more to this fight than the actual fight. "I ken which end o' me spear goes intae the other person. No' much ...

Yes, you misunderstand. Again, for I do not need you to think like an immortal; do you not realise I am apt enough for that task? But I could barely walk to those beasts even if I knew where they were. I... stand out. You , with care, can ask and learn where these magi are and take me to them. When...
