Chapter 8: A Night Ashore

Drastè Wharf was the largest port between Izan’Larai and Lendrig’s Hollow.  All that really meant was the town was slightly bigger than other towns.  Still, the crew spoke about this port for weeks.  They always planned stops here so they docked right before some major festival.  They called it Drastè’s Cradle, and people from all…… Continue reading Chapter 8: A Night Ashore

Chapter 7: Changing Winds

It was a few days before arrival at the next port.  Selene decided to stay out of trouble a while and join Hamish for his meditations after she was scolded for the umpteenth time.  Today, he was seated atop the railing, with his legs crossed and eyes closed.  She came up to him quietly, hoping…… Continue reading Chapter 7: Changing Winds

Chapter 6: Brother Hamish

“Greetings, friends!  I am Brother Hamish, and I am sharing in your journey this day!” Selene was taken aback as the massive, giant of a half-orc bellowed as he came aboard.  His size reminded Selene of stories she heard of giants who stood so tall, clouds would hide their heads from sight.  He towered above…… Continue reading Chapter 6: Brother Hamish

Chapter 5: A Journey Begins

Three days.  Three days was all it took for Selene to understand why boats were rarely the subject of great adventure stories.  They were very, very boring.

Chapter 1: Thief

The capital of the Izan Imperium, Izan’Larai, was often considered a crowning jewel of commerce, trade, and beauty, beyond compare. It was also rife with people of all races, be they elf, dwarf, or any other, and all walks of life. It was summer, but the land was largely unaffected by the changing of the…… Continue reading Chapter 1: Thief

Chapter 2: Moment’s Respite

With time to spare before nightfall, Rieta returned to the hideaway.  She laid claim to some extra coinage; even managed to pilfer some goods from stands to satisfy the growling in her stomach.  Back inside, she quickly stuffed her face full of fruit and bread until the growling was satisfied.  She crawled over to the…… Continue reading Chapter 2: Moment’s Respite

Chapter 3: Tailor’s Tent

The tailor’s tent was not large, tucked comfortably in the corner next to other craftsman in the market.  There were a few tables in front holding an assortment of clothes, and even some leatherwork.  There were also some finer pieces hung up outside the tent, used as proof of his handiwork to passersby.  The tailor,…… Continue reading Chapter 3: Tailor’s Tent

Chapter 4: Farewell

Racing off into the night, Rieta could not help but notice a lightness in her step. Her coin purse, now safely tucked into a hidden compartment in her new clothes, gave her tail the freedom to uncoil and flow behind her freely as she ran.  She felt braver, stronger.  As if she could take on…… Continue reading Chapter 4: Farewell
