The Tower of Osryn (part IV)

A short while later, Lorthar and Aasgar returned, each carrying a heavy load of broken branches and sticks. A few minutes after that, Rhothwin showed up: he had caught three squirrels and a pheasant—not as much as he’d hoped for, but enough for a reasonable dinner, particularly if they added in some...

The Tower of Osryn (part III)

“Urgana! Stand ready!” Morlith said. “Trolls approach.” Lady Korin looked at Morlith in alarm, while Urgana, who had been bending down over a bedroll, straightened immediately. “Where?” Urgana asked. Another bolt of lightning split the night briefly revealing the hideous trolls to all three... Sign in to see full entry.

The Tower of Osryn (part II)

“That is fair, Lady,” Morlith said. “How far are we from this Tower of Osryn?” Lady Korin asked. “It is a day and a half’s ride east, along the forest’s edge,” Morlith replied. “Very well,” Lady Korin said, “Let us proceed.” “We’re shy two horses,” Rhothwin said. “We’ll have to walk. That means the... Sign in to see full entry.

The Tower of Osryn (part I)

The journey through the remainder of the Ilthwayne Forest took Morlith and his companions three uneventful days. For all the tales of horror that surrounded such a place, Morlith was pleasantly surprised by the ease of their travel. Apparently, the Ildreth had been cowed, and that left the...

Beyond Reach (part VIII)

The sun had risen above the plain and revealed a scene of horror. The battlefield was a blasted wasteland littered with the corpses of men, horses, and the burnt remnants of pavilions. Ash and char were everywhere. Adrinilax had spent much of the morning scouring the field in search of survivors and... Sign in to see full entry.

Beyond Reach (part VII)

“By all that is holy, it is good to see you up and about,” Morlith said. “How do you feel?” “Very well, thank you,” Urgana replied. “My Lord saw fit to let me live.” Lady Korin looked pale. “And who, exactly, is your Lord?” Morlith felt the hairs on the back of his neck rise. After the rescue and... Sign in to see full entry.

Beyond Reach (part VI)

Morlith awoke to Rhothwin shaking him. “The sun’s been up a quarter of an hour,” Rhothwin said. “You should get up. I’m going to go catch us some breakfast.” Shaking his head to clear his groggy thoughts, Morlith murmured an agreement, then rose and walked over to Urgana’s side. She was sleeping...

Beyond Reach (part V)

Lithana awoke at midnight to the sound of a deafening roar. At first, she thought it was a bad dream, but then a hue and cry was taken up by the soldiers of the army. Immediately, her eyes snapped open and she sat up, pushing her blanket aside. The roar sounded again, loud enough to shake the very... Sign in to see full entry.

Beyond Reach (part IV)

“Your flesh is heavy with the scent of your blood,” Adrinilax sneered, eyeing the king carefully. “It is blood that carries your life, and it is by blood that you are betrayed. You do not smell of fear, but rather… anticipation.” Adrinilax snorted once again. “You wish me to strike you, to end your... Sign in to see full entry.

Beyond Reach (part III)

King Orodrin wearily bowed his head. The pain in his hands caused by the silver spikes the dragon had conjured from his throne, had ceased, or at least slipped into the background of his mind, some time ago. He could not be sure exactly when, though—captivity had a tendency to distort one’s... Sign in to see full entry.
