  • Demon’s Dance – Part 1

    Demon’s Dance – 1 – Evolving The hunt itself was always a mixed bag for the Demon. In many ways, the simplicity of stalking a prey until it was secluded and vulnerable had lost its thrill. Sure, it was the only way for her to become fully energized. Flesh and blood were the only sustenance…

  • The Black Songs II – The Tower of Adessa’s Pain

    THE BLACK SONGS – HOME Few Wraiths stood in between Mathus and the center of the temple, and each one must have been starved for at thousand years as their strengths and reflexes were much weaker than he had ever seen.  As he entered the antechamber, he said to himself, “It is a relief that…

  • The Black Songs I – Ice and Shadow

    THE BLACK SONGS – HOME Mathus was disturbed by the unfortunate fact that the wind bit through his chest more aggressively than he had prepared for. The crunch of icy rock beneath his boots was the only sound that accompanied the angry gusts, a cacophony of arrhythmic sounds that grated at his sense of time.…

  • Tale of Red Mysterium #15: Skuller III

    #15. SKULLER III On the water at the fringes of the town was a funeral procession. The crew stood silently on their skiff, Skuller and Tasha at the fore. She shook with grief, her body trembling like a dropped tin which rang out its dismay. Yet she stood silently, her only signs of feeling that…

  • Tale of Red Mysterium #14: Trand & Debrosh III

    #14. TRAND & DEBROSH III Each step a sizzle, the crackling of stone and mortar the only accompanying sound to the steady wind. Ash settled over the land, the devastation from the north finding peace on the unburnt ground. The fiery being walked among this slowly growing desolation, unfeeling, unthinking. Since the destruction of the…

  • A Tale of Red Mysterium #13: Skuller II

    #13. SKULLER II It was a bad day for Skuller and his crew. Three days earlier, they had learned that they Leyline to Djirama had been closed due to “instabilities,” whatever that meant. The Leyline Portal, which shone brilliantly most days, was absent now. The city, Gerrick, came to a standstill after those first few…

  • Tale of Red Mysterium #12: Taina II

    #12. TAINA II It had been a long journey out to these woods, but it was a place that Taina knew she could go and be undisturbed. It was nearly 20 kilometers into the wilds, but it was no trouble for Taina. She spent her days toning her body, strengthening it, making it look fit…

  • Opal Albatross, The Guide

    There are times where beauty is the only measure of purpose. To wake without affliction, To walk without addiction,To wonder without fear or doubt, None of these are assured. Beauty helps us find a path among the fallen leaves. When I have been most lost,Deaf to the world,Blind to myself, It was Beauty which spoke…

  • Tale of Red Mysterium #11: Nabras Kahn IV

    #11. NABRAS KAHN IV The stairs to the Reliquary were unkempt, dusty, and covered in mildew. They wove downwards in strange shapes, curving one way then the next. Some halls would suddenly end with no doorway, and some stairs would do the same thing. It was like a maze that went downward, yet resisted anyone…

  • Tale of Red Mysterium #10: Yellow Dog I

    #10: YELLOW DOG I The land rolled under the torrential rain. The sky flexed and cracked, lighting up the murky earth with brief flashes. The trees groaned their anguish under the storm, the animals feigned the silence of death in its presence. As the great revealer above turned over the world that lie in prostrated…

  • Tale of Red Mysterium #9: Taina I

    #9. TAINA IThe sun shown brightly over the realm of Botansa. It was mid-summer here, and though the season had been wetter and cooler than normal, the heat was still enough to form a thick sheen of sweat across Taina’s body. She was lifting up a post, lining it up with the hole in the…

  • Tale of Red Mysterium #8: Skuller I

    #8. SKULLER I The fog of Baken Bay crept around them like the breath of a wraith. It brought with it a chill that left Skuller and his crew shivering in the night, the only thing providing light a small tin lamp suspended above their raft on a rope. Skuller turned to his first mate,…

  • Tale of Red Mysterium #7: Bahkis II

    #7. BAHKIS II The view from the Maelstrom Mage Suite at the Height Line Hotel had unparalleled views. Nestled against a mountain near the coast, the penthouse apartment had a full view of the bay to the south, the luscious pine forest that surrounded the town, and the beautiful, setting sun. Bahkis was reclining in…

  • Tale of Red Mysterium #6: Nabras Kahn III

    #6. NABRAS KAHN III It was a sunny day in Yearma Academy. Nabras was on her way to the Hillerman Lookout on the mainland. It was early, her classes were still hours off, so she had decided to make a long hike out to this romantic lookout she had heard so much about from her…

  • Tale of Red Mysterium #5: Nabras Kahn II

    #5. NABRAS KAHN II Nabras sat within a small cafe, a cup of tea and a scone in front of her. The food, though, was dwarfed by the piles of tomes she had brought with her. She sat a table for four with her wide brimmed hat slung across the back of chair. She was…

  • Tale of Red Mysterium #4: Trand & Debrosh II

    #4. TRAND & DEBROSH II Trand lay on his cot, staring up at the ceiling. The grey hodgepodge was uneven, shaped roughly with unpracticed hands. It was evident that little effort was put into its making, and with the ease of magical power that was present in the Tularaans, that in itself was an insult.…

  • Tale of Red Mysterium #3: Bahkis I

    #3. BAHKIS I He strode down the hall with an intimidating purpose. It was the sharp clack of his boots on the paving stones, the swishing and tinkling of his overcoat. Even the rhythmic hit of his saber on his hip gave the impression of him being a train that would not be stopped. Bahkis…

  • Tale of Red Mysterium #2: Nabras Kahn I

    #2. NABRAS KAHN Nabras was practically skipping down the street with joy, her hands uncontrollable as she danced down the street. The light inside her was so elevating she felt like she was barely holding onto the ground. Gravity had little hold on her now, she had just received the best news in the world.…
