The young elf, dressed in the colors of crimson and burnished gold, walked slowly down the lightly curved corridor. A young teenager, if such a crass comparison to human standards were to be made, although to the normal elven eye the scene depicted a youngling of around thirty seasons. He strode with an abnormal grace …

Court Friends
The young elven female flowed down the ornately carved halls, panels glistening with the years of magical touch, beautiful and,normally,calming here within the private quarters of one of the princely families of Calethria. Singing softly to herself, she glanced into various rooms as she passed, slowing only long enough to determine if what, or who, …
An Eventide’s Journey
His body swayed gently with the minor motions of his new mount, as it slowly picked its way along the trail, the hoofbeats muffled by the damp earth and spring growth spreading its tendrils along the ground. The mocking jays, as well as chirps of at least four other types of birds, echoed through the …
A Royal Introduction
The clatter and whir of the wooden practice lathes rang through the clearing. Three youthful looking elves ducked and tumbled and jumped throughout the small area, whipping wooden weapons in rapid circles of attack and defense. The action resolved around a skirmish of two on one, and as such, appeared about even. “His quickness …
Descent into Pain: A Tale of Elyrienne Malethlal
Elwen vanwa dineth* The last weeks have passed in distressing contemplation and exploration of the aether for substantiation of your presence in Calethria and your abiding comfort and weal. The possibility that I will never again attend upon your musical presence drowns my conscious in the surety of pain and suffering, and buoys my fears, …

Violence and war predated the rise of the empire. The collapse of several regional power structures led to war across once relatively peaceful lands, as well as civil conflict between warring factions of some noble families. Increased corruption by several key financial cities enhanced the tensions of neighboring lands, and betrayal amongst former allies …
Big Brother
"Yo, Byron." I stopped, and turned from the entrance to Keliendi's Kustom Leathers and looked around. The sidewalks were relatively uncrowded this Sunday afternoon, but that didn't mean empty, so I didn't eye any chummers at first, and not many others knew that name. But then I saw Omar waving from a heavily customized Ford …
Coming Home?
e “Hoi! Chummer, you gettin’ out?” growled the dwarven driver, with a hint of nervousness. “Huh?” I replied, with extreme wit. “Corner of Broadway and East Galena. Fifty nuyen.” “Already? Sure,” I mumbled, and I swipe one of Byron’s cred sticks across the scanner, adding ten for a tip, not really sure how long …
Hidden Minds
Rest. That seemed a joke last night with the memories heavy upon me, but exhaustion had taken me. Safety, I was safe here. I was always safe here, had always been. No matter what, she always helped me, even if I didn't want it, or probably deserve it. It may be the only …
Mind Break
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqhR37qSUMA The fog of memory parted as raven black wings unfolded, piercing the shroud of obscuring mist while hoof beats echoed lightly. As the veil of darkness lifted, the golden notes of a cello echo through the cavernous warehouse, a figure sitting motionless in a circle of pale light on an old wooden chair. …
Mind Games
I cracked the lid of my left eye. Yep, Talon was still sitting there before the fire. Sigh....... I closed my eye and tried to again enter the meditative state. There are lessons. Then there are lessons. The latter you always remember. Or should. Sound. One of the earliest took me a long time to learn …
Centered
If you want the chip-truth, this used to freak me the fuck out. Not that it happened all that often, not 'til Talon found me for the first time and started to train me. Frack, I'm still amazed she didn't skrag my ass the first time we met with what I tried. I still laugh …
Fever Dreams
His nostrils flared at the overpowering scents of burning grasslands wafting by on the light breeze. His sleeping body shivered, reacting to buried memories of burning flesh. He rolled onto his back and then over again, thrashing against the long grasses of the prairie. He staggered groggily to his feet, lidded eyes blinking rapidly. His …
Negative in Nashville
The hot water steamed around me in the shower. Compared to the Mitsuhama resort enclave, the place was simple. Compared to my slag of a flat, the one that six months ago took nearly continuous tight interfacing, often some rough docks, and healing other geese on the side for the bosses for enough cred to pay for, well, …
