Year 2, Winter, First Month, Third Week. The wind blew south pushing the thin snowflakes against Tael’s back as he tried to ignore the cold invading his lungs to concentrate on his target, a snow-painted moose. It was his first time seeing the beast and he could only guess its element, either water or wind since it insisted on defying the slowly forming blizzard. Actually, the beast could also be earth attuned, they haven’t met any earth beasts during winter, but there was always a first time. Tael…-

Year 2, Winter, First Month, Second Week. “I see…” Windsor’s undeceivable eyes didn’t miss any movements from the man that had much to gain with his fall. Whispert was the head of House Whisper, one of the oldest Houses and also a pillar of the Wind region, but in the past, he had also been Windsor’s archenemy and most fierce competitor for the wind throne. Like any region of the Kingdom, the power balance of the Wind region was complicated and delicate. Against the other regions, the Wind…

Year 2, Winter, First Month, Second Week. After leaving Arnold’s soon-to-be blacksmithing area, Karl was exhausted, any expectation that he could do anything else before sleeping for a good ten hours was merely wishful thinking. However, being able to finish a usable prototype in only one day, even with his disciple’s help, was a big advance from spending a week or two over it. In fact, Karl already had an idea for the design, he only needed Arnold’s help to improve it. And even though the design…

Year 2, Winter, First Month, Second Week. The fuzzy image slowly took form as the enticing smell of fresh-baked bread brought Karl out of his morning daze. He stood up and stretched himself before exiting the tent, he would like to say that the preferential treatment bothered him, but having a private tent did wonders for his sleep and consequently, for his efficiency through the day. He followed the mouthwatering smell to the communitarian cooking fire and happily received his breakfast portion.…

Year 2, Winter, First Month, First Week. The Council members sat around a simple stone table near a fairly isolated border of the outpost, for now, that was all they could afford. After a week of putting off fires all around their new home, they finally found time to meet up and decide their next steps. Strangely, the new Council member was the first to speak. “First, I would like to thank everyone for trusting and giving me this chance, I know my past isn’t the brightest but I promise to use all…

Year 2, Winter, First Month, First Week. The mournful villagers stepped forward, each holding a flaming torch. Almost in unison, they threw the torches into the pyre. The flames grew and slowly consumed the bodies of their fallen. Samia lowered her head as Alfeur tried to comfort her, she couldn’t keep looking. While Sania made sure to look at her grandfather’s body until it was completely consumed by the fire. The timid twin would mourn old Bill with feelings of guilt and regret, but the fierce one…

Year 2, Fall, Third Month, Fourth Week. “So, you’re really trying to kill me?” Omero didn’t understand what the man meant, he threw a spear at him, of course, he was trying to kill him. He tightened his grip over the sword and approached the Captain while praying to the Origin to help him keep the man occupied long enough. “Hahaha… You are planning to fight me? You might be crazy, old man… You had better chances getting me executed…” Omero couldn’t comprehend what Horacios…

Year 2, Fall, Third Month, Fourth Week. “Sir, I'm sure there's a very good explanation…” “Of course there is, feel free to share it with me…” Horacios forced a smile while trying to think of what could have happened to the burned buildings. He hated that he had to address the Supervisor as his superior, the man was just a servant of the City Lord while he was noble, at least by birth. After sneering at the Supervisor's lowly heritage and cursing him a couple of times in his mind, he…

Year 2, Fall, Third Month, Fourth Week. “Are you sure this is gonna work?” Toni looked suspiciously at the long pole formed by several bamboo sticks roughly tied together, it didn’t look very professional, it was even worse than their first WET prototype. The previous day, a group of a dozen level two disciples arrived at the outpost to start preparing the magic barrier. Apparently, the largest yet created Array would circle the entire outpost, practically half of their village (ex-village).…
