In the Wilderness (part V)

“We stick to our first plan,” Aasgar said. “We go to Fortress Cazrigar and confront the dragon directly. Just the four of us. No long-dead-wizards-come-back-to-life demanding who knows what in exchange for their services. Keep it quick. Keep it clean. We know my axe hurts him. And all dragons are...

In the Wilderness (part IV)

“Well, then, speak,” Aasgar said as he sat down cross-legged in front of the fire. Rhothwin and Urgana turned to give Morlith their full attention. “What do we know about Adrinalax?” Morlith asked. “That’s easy,” Rhothwin said, “He’s probably one of the most powerful dragons in all of history.”...

In the Wilderness (part III)

Morlith gestured with one hand and a small orange-red flame sprang up from the pile of grass and twigs. It spread quickly. Soon, a campfire was burning and black smoke was drifting skyward. Morlith made a second gesture and spoke, “Ezrak.” The campfire turned a brilliant blue, then shifted back to... Sign in to see full entry.

In the Wilderness (part II)

“You must sit on the ground with your legs crossed like so,” Urgana said demonstrating the position. “Rest with one hand on either knee, then close your eyes and control your breathing. Breathe in through the nose, push the air down below your navel, then slowly exhale. Stay focused on your... Sign in to see full entry.

In the Wilderness

“What now?” asked Rhothwin. He slid his tongue across his pointed canine teeth much like a hungry predator. He wrapped his black cloak tightly about his shoulders and pulled his hood up over his head, then leaned back against a tall tree. They were safely ensconsced in a small copse of trees, out of...

The Fall of Daralon (part V)

Lithana struggled back to consciousness. At first, all was dark. She coughed and jerked her body, feeling the great weight of something holding her down. Then, she remembered: after killing the warriors with his breath, Adrinalax had swept her aside with a single blow that knocked her through the... Sign in to see full entry.

The Fall of Daralon (part IV)

Blackened ruins of buildings and cast down stones lay about the dragon’s feet. Blood smeared one side of the road and about ten charred bodies were lined against the city wall: they had been men once, proud soldiers in the service of Daralon, now they were little more than blackened husks dressed in...

The Fall of Daralon (part III)

“Lithana, no!” Morlith cried. The female warrior looked back at him, her red cloak fluttering in the wind. “If die I must, then die I will… but none shall ever call me coward. Live with your guilt wizard.” She motioned to the twelve mercenaries behind her: there were six warriors, two wizards, a... Sign in to see full entry.

The Fall of Daralon (part II)

For a brief time, all was silent across the Town Square save for the sound of Adrinalax’s breathing. His lungs expanded in a long hiss, then slowly compressed. He glanced around the square; not a single human was in sight… but he could smell them. Their scent was everywhere. He could feel their... Sign in to see full entry.

The Fall of Daralon

Adrinalax dropped from the sky like a burning black meteor; he made a single sweep of the north end of town, blasting the buildings there with his fiery breath. Buildings, both old and new, from the exotic redwood villa of the outer circle to the common shanties that lined the inner streets, burst... Sign in to see full entry.
