  • Heiress of the Sun #6 – The Ruby Castle

    The path to the Ruby Castle always made Jadis nervous. Scattered along the western coast of the continent were a dozen or so pocket dimension accessible to anyone who could find them. Known as the “Fringes”, some of these places had remained populated while the Veil was active, and others were only recently rediscovered. The pocket…

  • Maiden of the Moor

    I always wondered what she was. Out in the moor lived a maiden fair as sunlight. She was resplendent and free, unnamed so far that I or the others knew. Each day she picked her way across that open expanse, bare as a newborn, as if dancing slower than any human eyes could be perceived.…

  • Heiress of the Sun #5 – The Lord of the Black Trident

    Early in the morning, Jadis disentangled herself from Damia, telling her she would return soon. Damia did not open her eyes, and her murmured words did not make it entirely obvious if she understood what Jadis had told her, but she did not rise to stop Jadis or ask questions.  Jadis dressed quickly, donning her…

  • Heiress of the Sun #4 – The Middle Ground

    Jadis jolted awake at the impact against her ankles. She lurched forward, grabbing hold of her balance by the skin of her teeth, and blinked to clear her eyes. Her hand gripped the polished wood of the bar and behind it, smiling at her with a wicked grin, was Goose, hand lowering. The man was…

  • Heiress of the Sun #3 – The Frog Demon

    “It was long, long ago. A formless darkness swallowed all of creation, and from it was born the Aether. There were no intelligent creatures, demon, angel, human, or-” Jadis reached out and smacked the Frog Demon on the back of the head, disrupting his onerous performance. The expression on her face hinted at her annoyance. …

  • Writhe

    Scael had not slept for 12 days.  As he stiffly walked through the stone halls, he determined that this might have killed the typical wanderer. He thought that a well adjusted person, sound of mind and heart, would have perished days earlier. Even with the weaving of protection magic into their very bones, a brain…

  • Heiress of the Sun #2 – The House of Webs

    By the time Jadis made it to the top of the mountain, the strain of the climb had hammered her muscles until a steady, subtle vibration filled them. There had been a semblance of a path, as gracious as it was to call it even that, and despite the evidence that others had come here…

  • Heiress of the Sun #1 – The Naraka

    I am the flame, and the sun, and the stars. I am the heat of the burning torch and the cleansing fire of dragon’s breath. All burning contains my essence, and I will never be parted from the miracle of flame.        – Kalomere the Red, Master of the Primordial Flame The smoking,…

  • 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 that her kind needed, and that…

  • 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…

  • 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…
