Within the large, round house screams could be heard. People were running from the bakery, one of many shops that lined the circumference of the building. Within there a customer`s hair was ablaze like a bonfire. Another, was being electrocuted so hard their bones could be seen flashing between bursts. “Sizzle! Itchy! Stop it!” A […]

My stomach was in a knot as I walked the path towards my home, well soon to be my former home, well maybe it already was my former home. The sky was purple on the edges while changing suns as I reached the edge of town where my house sits. I crawled up, peeked inside […]

Scrape, scrape, scrape. I worked on sharpening the long piece of rock with long strokes of another rock. After a meal I’d switch to magic for a bit to rest my hands. I had been at it for hours now. While sweaty and laborious, there was the benefit of a small pond to bathe and […]

The people were bustling about Dunig and the sun was shining bright. At least the weather is good, if nothing else. I thought as I hobbled forward.

I awoke the next morning to my little brother’s round face. He smiled, turned and ran away. “Hey mummy, she’s awake.” He shouted. My eyes adjusted to the scene, the light peaking around the edges of dark red curtains, the pale rough old growth wood of the walls and of course that light scent of […]

The sky started raining and it didn’t deter them. My legs felt ready to give out at any time as I had been running for what seemed so long. Climbing trees, borrowing into the ground, even words of persuasion. Nothing stops their fury. My clothes were in tatters from being burned away, crumbling into soot […]

The following day as I walking with my group to gather plants for cooking I was keeping an eye out for any ingredients I needed to get the brilawell made. The note had read…12g of spider silk2 long melon husks1 bee’s nestThe glow of a large berieA tooth of a deep cave beastThe spider silk […]
