Nevermore: An Epilogue
Author’s Note: A form of this short story has been on my mind for quite some time. I had the idea while still writing Once Upon a Midnight Dreary and had written a now lost draft at one point while working on one of the later sections of the existing story. It, along with the rest of the tale, was ...

Re: Once Upon a Midnight Dreary
A warm campfire flickered in the cold winter night. This was not an unusual scene. Winter was Kira’s favored season to hunt, and she spent days at a time out in the Deep Wilds. Many nights just like this had passed, camped out in the show-blanketed wilderness. This could have been a memory of any on...

Vacancy of the Tower of Earth
For several days, the Tower of Earth saw a flurry of activity. Forest Fae moved through the external farms and laboratories to gather up crops and experiments. The mountains groaned as a surge of ore extraction ramped up, then suddenly stopped as quickly as it began. The mephits acting as custodians...

Re: Once Upon a Midnight Dreary
Three weeks. Three whole weeks of hunting, and barely anything to show for it. It’s not as if the Huntress’s efforts were completely wasted. The murders had slowed down, but they hadn’t stopped. And it felt like anything Kira did had any real effect on their operations. They might be acting more ca...

Re: Once Upon a Midnight Dreary
A haze descended on Kira once again. She was dead.
Not for the first time, admittedly. And most certainly not the last. I had been a rare occurrence for most of her life before that point. Oddly enough, she was becoming rather used to the experience. Being the immortal girlfriend of a vampire might...

Re: Once Upon a Midnight Dreary
Far outside Rhydin City, continuing in a specific direction until most signs of civilization were spotty at best, one would eventually come across a rather nondescript graveyard in the shadow of a run down non-denominational church. The sermons no longer ran, and the flock scattered to the winds, bu...

Re: Mail and Messages
A letter on fine stationary, written in a delicate hand, was found in a red envelope on the ground at a gateway arch to the faewilds. It was dropped there by a raven who did not stay, but who could almost be heard cackling as it flew away. Artist of the Red Manor You will be pleased to know that Fra...

Re: If not, Winter — Content Warning Within
════ ⋆★⋆ ════ Kira woke to the sound of sobbing. Her face and pillow were soaked, and it was a miracle that she hadn’t woken her lover in the bed with her. Then again, Les was in torpor after having fed a whole meal from Kira. It would take a lot to wake her. She wiped at her eyes, trying to clear t...

Re: If not, Winter — Content Warning Within
Kira would not be given an opportunity to respond. Once the door shut behind them, two sales people came scurrying over to assist them. “Lady Convor, we were not expecting you and do not have your order prepared. You gave us a week!” The taller of the two squeaked her greeting quickly. “I do hope yo...

Re: Once Upon a Midnight Dreary
Kira ascended the steps to Lesinda’s apartment, later in the day. She didn’t have a particular aim as she passed through the city. To any passers-by, she looked the part of the impassive Minister going about her day. She played her part well. She felt hollow. Her meeting had taken too much from her,...

Re: Once Upon a Midnight Dreary
Mathian got the majority of his affairs in order, and after receiving word from the werewolf guard Edward, he made his way from the safety and quiet of his Lord Giovanni's estate, back to Rhydin. He wasn't overly pleased about the idea of being back in the accursed city. He never much cared for it…t...

Re: Once Upon a Midnight Dreary
“Okay, Edward. Please, let us start from the beginning. What is happening?” Kira rarely brought outsiders into her personal house anymore. Not since the construction of the family home and the estate offices. It felt strange to have someone here in the first floor office once again. It had been unus...

Re: IC Soccer League (Dragon League)
I’d like to propose Valhalla Arena in Mimisportr as the home stadium for the Fool’s Luck Aces.
