I looked outside the window and saw hundreds of people shuffling away from their beds and into the streets. Their eyes were dead as they gave an amused smile to our building. I sighed as I walked through the door, my eyes were still bleary from being woken up by that needle. "I'm guessing that whoever is controlling them decided that stealth wasn't the best option" I say to the room, my rhetorical question answered by the humming of Darwin in affirmation. Again I just sighed, why couldn't they have done…-

Tensions were high as we walked through the gate, a forged merchant's pass allowing us in without question. Of course the guards had checked but with Delta's skill there was no way that they would notice. As we walked around the streets I couldn't help but notice how serious the atmosphere was around here. There was no tension around telling of a war but this sort of zealous seriousness as if they had some god given objective. Their eyes were clouded despite the liveliness that they seemed to show. The…

The soldiers searched and searched all around the campsite that we had been staying in just moments earlier, their eyes scanning everywhere that they could think to look before marking off a place in their map. I just smirked as I watched them search around like headless chickens that were trying to find anything. Of course they would not find anything, we had made sure of it. In the little time that we had before they had come knocking we had dismantled everything that could have led them to discover…

Shin…" Lily asked from beside me on the mole. "Where are we going?" "To find a cavern, the moles thrive in those types of environments, it was how I survived." "Then what are you doing here if you've thrived…" "I-" I began to explain before the ground beneath us exploded, worms popping up into our vision. From my side I could feel as Lily shivered into my side, her arms tightening against my body. "Stay here," I whisper to her. "No!" She yelled uncharacteristically of her from what I had…

Darkness, it was all around me. A void of nothingness surrounding my being as I was transported to somewhere. It was both an eternity and not one. I could feel yet I couldn't, I could see yet there was nothing around me. It was a strange world of contradictions. Though that world soon disappeared as light consumed my vision. I found myself teleported to a desert oasis, the land around me was filled with vegetation yet further and further then out was sand. All around me my subordinates piper up, the…

I looked back, the border appearing in my sight as I took one last look. The heavily armed soldiers, the scathing looks, the tension that resulted from their stare down. It all culminated in this intense atmosphere of confrontation. One that would most likely reach its tipping point when the death of the king reached here. I'd Though that would not be for days as information seemed to travel at a snail's pace compared to what I was used to. Either way though that border would soon turn into a bloodbath in…

"I think that we should head towards the next kingdom" I said towards the room, addressing more than just Delta who sat next to me. I addressed Aoif too who was just entering the room, a fresh pair of clothes having been put on. "What is this about leaving?" Aoif questions as she enters the kitchen fully, her head popping through the wall that separated the kitchen from the rest of the room. I could see the curiosity in her eyes as they looked into my own. "We've done everything that we needed here, so…

My eyes opened to the opulent light of the streets, the light making its way through the curtains and blinds that separated the window from the street. Even through the covering of the window I could still see all of the lights. It was quite annoying, the way that it reached through and hit at just the right spot to wake me up. At this point I might as well be cursed with how every time I woke up it was to something like the sun or even the lights stinging my eyes. It was almost rare now when I would wake…

I watched on as the man, no, Sebastion he had introduced himself as such, ran through the restaurant. His legs coated in aether to allow for faster movement. He weaved around the intricately placed tables with grace and through the doors with no hesitation. I had half expected him to take a face plant into the door but surprising both Aoif and I he had a plan. The door was transmuted to be turned into a slab of wood. This had allowed him to cross the distance without stopping at all, the door being…

The food tasted stale, the once fine meal turning to paste in my mouth at the stomach churning sight of the man that had tried to charm me with his money. I could feel the malice he held for Darwin and the immense lust that he felt towards me. It was honestly disgusting, enough that it felt like I was going to throw up if he approached us. And to my chagrin he did, legs weak from years of disuse hobbled towards our table, the butler that had informed us earlier carried a chit that he had placed under his…
