Curse of the Dying Chief (part I)

“Morlith. Wake up.” Someone was gently shaking him and softly calling his name. Still groggy and weary with sleep, Morlith opened his eyes to find Rhothwin leaning over him. “What is it?” he asked. “It sounds like a centaur rebellion of all things,” Rhothwin said. All thoughts of sleep vanished and... Sign in to see full entry.

Caged Desire (part VII)

“Thank you for your advice,” Morlith said. “You’ve given me a lot to think about.” “Just don’t over think it,” Rhothwin said. “Generally, women won’t come to you. You have to go to them. You initiate. They respond.” “Alright.” Morlith looked up at the moon. It was rapidly approaching its zenith. It... Sign in to see full entry.

Caged Desire (part VI)

Bewildered, Morlith looked over at Rhothwin who had cocked his head to the side and was trying unsuccessfully to hide a smile on his lips. “Is she going to be a problem,” Glore-ick asked. “I hope not,” Morlith said. “Hope?” “No, she won’t,” Morlith said. She has to understand, he thought angrily. He... Sign in to see full entry.

Caged Desire (part V)

The Cage was what it sounded like: a twenty foot by twenty foot wooden cage in the northeast corner of the camp. The companions and the centaur, Glore-ick, were herded into the enclosure by eight centaur warriors. At Glore-ick’s behest, Morlith had counseled his companions to not resist—clearly the...

Caged Desire (part IV)

Adrinilax’s deadly breath had forever destroyed the Black Willow in the courtyard when he had first taken the keep, burning the tree down to its very roots. The pool that surrounded it, however, had reformed—as powerful as Adrinilax was he did not control the weather. Rain had served to replenish... Sign in to see full entry.

Caged Desire (part III)

Corporal Lithana Khan stood at the edge of the Forest of Treggor, shaded her eyes, and looked east across the Plains of Zrim into the rising sun. The globe of fire set the clouds alight with shades of pink and orange. Its resplendent majesty left no doubt why many people believed it to be a great... Sign in to see full entry.

Caged Desire (part II)

Morlith pulled his gaze from the priestess and took several steps after Glore-ick. Ahead of them, at the edge of the light of the bonfire, a great pavilion loomed. Shrouded in darkness, its colors were indiscernible, but it was spacious, perhaps large enough to comfortably house as many as six... Sign in to see full entry.

Caged Desire (part I)

The party of centaurs, humans, and a solitary dwarf rode in a nearly perfect straight line, northwest across the plain as the sun finally set and night fell. Darkness spread across the plain from east to west, like a bitter omen. Although the centaurs were clearly at home riding by moonlight, the... Sign in to see full entry.

Children of Undar (part VI)

His words had a satisfactory effect: Glore-ick’s eyes widened in surprise and he took another involuntary step back, while a loud murmuring spread among the other centaurs. “We had heard rumours of a dragon,” Hast-ric said in a voice filled with both fear and awe, “But we never imagined it was...

Children of Undar (part V)

As it turned out, they were not horsemen. Rather, they were centaurs, creatures with the body of a horse and the muscular upper torso of a man. Each one was a hand or two taller than the largest horse in Morlith’s party. Each one wore thick lion skins and carried a spear and a long sword. There were... Sign in to see full entry.
