Prince Rugal: Chapter 3Ignoring the fact they were running through a small ocean of blood, which was now up to their ankles, Iris asked, "What are we going to do? Thrain is clearly too powerful for us to stop.""We have to do something," Rugal said frantically. "He betrayed us and can't get that wish; if he does, we lose our chance of getting our home and families back."As they reached the steps, a golden light shined down...

Irene the Sly: Chapter 7"So we just going to ignore what happened at the hot springs?" Samhal whispered to Myre while they climbed the long spiraling stairs."I don't know, I just got more important things to worry about right now," Myre said keeping her focus ahead of her."Like what?""Like that freckled red-haired whore who is trying to move in on my Caleb.""Oh my god not this again," Samhal said exasperated. "Look guys a...

Prince Rugal: Chapter 2Beholden to their sights, Rugal and Iris found the next floor was a city taken from the pages of time. The buildings and streets were all cleaner than gems. Tall white spires stood out in the distance with large blank holes spinning around them as part of the design. Everything looked like it was made for people nearly twice the size of normal humans, (more around Curth's size in fact.)Rugal was fro...

Volga the Apprentice: Chapter 6"Look we don't know who tipped them off," Edmin said. "But Mavis warned us before the guards came busting down our door, we can't stay in Dorgal anymore; the council fears we will cause an insurrection."Kyra sighed deeply then asked, "And would that little news about the king’s bloodline still being alive, would that have anything to do with the city folk and their sudden animosity?""Maybe w...

Prince Rugal: Chapter 1Rugal woke up hearing the distant sounds of familiar voices. He opened his eyes slowly and saw two blurry faces in front of him, blinking slowly a few times, his eyes came into focus and he saw Veera and Iris starring down at him. "Rugal can you hear me?" Iris asked. "Are you alright?"Rugal managed a small smile and said, "A little water logged, but I'll live." He then sat up slowly as the girls hel...

Irene the Sly: Chapter 6As they walked, Theo and Nethlen strode up between Irene and said, "So new girl, got any special talents?""None that may be useful in here. No," she answered."Oh, well our parents were fire dancers," Theo said."Yea so we inherited some cool tricks," Nethlen continued for his brother."Watch this.""Watch this." They both said at the same time.The twins then snapped their fingers and a sparkling fire...

Volga the Apprentice: Chapter 5During the long trip to Freymere Volga slowly figured out how to ride a horse decently enough. Half the time he couldn't even get the horse to move forward. The other times he would either veer it way off course and bump into Kyra's horse, or he would fall off. She would smirk or giggle every time he messed up but she would always stop to help him out again.The trip still took them weeks on...

Thrain and company: Chapter 9Thrain woke shivering with cold and with the sensation of tiny needles jabbing into his face. He got up slowly and found himself in a dark and damp little cavern area, with the jagged little crystals forming small bedrocks above the pool of water around. "Good you're awake." A voice said from behind him.He turned and saw it was Garren who said that, and next to him were two bodies, one was Ade...

The Frigid Prince: Chapter 5As the others rushed to aid their friend Enaguille began zapping their feet with his magic; encasing them up to the ankle with an ice bracer. They struggled to break their feet free but couldn't. Methais turned to Enaguille and shouted, "What the hell man? Igor is in there he needs our help!""The only sound that travels in or out of that darkness is what the tower wants," Enaguille said. "We ma...

Irene the Sly: Chapter 5The next floor was just like the previous one but with more trees in it. Soon as they got up there they broke a hard right and hugged the wall going on until they were all out of breath. They stayed grouped together this time as Adelea said, "Alright everyone stay low and keep quiet, very quiet."They did as she said, but Samhal argued quietly, "Yeah for all the good that did us last time.""The last...

Thrain and company: Chapter 8Arriving on the next floor, Rugal and Garren gently set down Iris and Veera and used their bags for makeshift pillows. Then, alongside everyone else, they sat down exhausted; ready to sleep right there. Thrain remained seated but looked around the floor they were on.It was dimly lit, but he could see that ahead lay some sort of dark chasm, almost like an abyss. Over it was a narrow set of rock...

The Frigid Prince: Chapter 4"You there stop," Enaguille called out to the knight. No response he kept on going with his whistling. "Borris of Jaer."Borris stopped after that and turned around slowly to face Enaguille and the others. After sizing them up, he grinned and said, "Heh, I have not used that name in some time.""So you're really him?"Borris smirked, "Aye I'm him. I certainly had quite the reputation if someone yo...

Volga the Apprentice: Chapter 4There seems no better way to start off your morning than finding a beautiful naked woman passed out in the bed of your former master, at least not for Volga. "Somehow this doesn't surprise me," Volga said to himself. "Hey fox girl time to get up," Volga yelled at Kyra.She opened her eyes casually then let out a big yawn. Rising from the bed Kyra let what little of the covers were around her...

Irene the Sly: Chapter 4Irene didn't stop running until she was too tired to keep it up; even then she kept moving forward, too afraid to look behind her. She spent no time thinking about what the four different staircases at the end of the tower base floor led to; she just went up one and hoped for the best.* * *"You know I can't believe that out of all those merchants outside the tower only three of them had decent weap...

Thrain and company: Chapter 7"Thrain, Thrain honey wake up. Come look at your newborn daughter."Thrain rolled in his bed and mumbled lightly, "Jessebelle?""Yes dear, it's me. Now get up and say hello to our daughter Emily," Jessebelle said.Coming to his senses, Thrain snapped his eyes open and shot up. He looked around him; he was back in his room inside the morning keep, his beautiful wife in bed next to him cradling a y...
