I was cold, so very cold. I could feel the goosebumps on my flesh and I could also feel that my clothing was still wet with the blood that had fallen this night, but there was something else...the air around me seemed wet, dank...the smells around me were ever so different, almost earthen if you wil...

I could not help but feel awkward as I stood inside the ring with this creature. I was feeling quite faint and weak for some odd reason. I pressed on with the assault inside the ring towards this creature. His words not settling well within my mind or my heart, let alone my soul. I had spotted the y...

I'd entered the Arena, aiming for a few moments of relaxation before I was to really start in on the training my body was calling for. I made my way through the bodies that night to the bar, where I found refuge in a bottle of wine and a glass, but I was soon joined by Random whom scared the living ...

Over the next week or so I had visited the places around the Red Dragon Inn. The other flyer I had been given a week ago, on my arrival sought me to discover the beaches of the Twilight Isle, the basement of the Inn, widely known as the Annex and an offset room, known as the Arena. They were quite t...

The carriage had dispersed of me in the center of Rhydin Proper, I smoothed my skirts and hugged my bag close to my chest as wide, golden eyes took in everything before me. I was jostled and shoved hither and yon as the passerbys busied about with their nightly business. I took one look up at the mo...

As I leaned back in the old wooden chair, it creaked with age and use. I curled my legs carefully beneath me as I nibbled on a chunk of the warm bread. Between bites I posed simpler questions, not wanting to impose on their feast with matters of my escaping the lands as quick as possible. I learned ...

I cannot tell you how good it felt to sink into the hot bath water. Though a simple bath it was, not the luxurious pearl tub I had bathed in for all my life, this bath was beyond all others. I was a free woman...free of the chains that had bound me from birth. I was my own person, but who was that? ...

I smiled to the two of them and nodded my head full of curls emphatically towards them. I extended a hand both to the mother and the small daughter, which both took gently and a bit tentatively and we made our way through the streets and towards the Inn. None of us spoke a word, and when we reached ...

The alleyway was dark and from what I could make out there were at least four or five groups of alley people huddled together near dimly glowing fires or pots of food. My heart cried out to them, and then it was her that had caught my eye. There was a sleeping child next to her, it was quite hard to...

I heard the murmurings ever so faintly outside my Chamber doors. I turned in the bed towards the Terrace windows. My eyelids fluttered open and I smiled a bit, the sun was beginning to set. I had slept without hinderance or disturbance. The first in years that I could ever remember. I stretched grac...

I contented in watching the quiet houses beneath our Palace for a few more minutes before that silence was broken by the voice of one of the guards. "Princess, it is growing late. You must rest now." Perhaps if I ignored him long enough he would just go away? Unfortunately I was not that l...

I stood on the railing of the balcony, overlooking the lands below me. Almost all of the lights had been extinguished for those that feigned for sleep. Tonight's breeze was warm, but I would find no comfort in it any longer, comfort that as a young girl I could always find in the dark of the night. ...
