It took over one and a half week for Ambraz to wake. One and half week that Irwin spent with Scintilla their children, and thinking about what had happened.
The thing that most preoccu...
2024-08-20 19:45:18 +0000 UTC View PostIrwin sensed his soulforce drain rapidly, as if someone had pulled a plug and let it drain away. Gritting his teeth, he pulled both of his selves together, stepping around the fire and using his wi...
2024-08-16 20:12:39 +0000 UTC View PostIrwin was happy when he saw Canadensis through the trees. His soulscape was starting to turn sore, and he wanted to find a place to put the embers- well, all those that weren't his own. He'd been h...
2024-08-13 20:17:06 +0000 UTC View PostIrwin slowly followed Scintilla through the tunnels, his steam floating around in a massive, thin cloud, trying to scout for anything dangerous.
Reaching a small crossing, Scintilla tu...

2024-08-09 18:28:13 +0000 UTC View PostIrwin followed Sahroot into what looked like a tavern or ordinary restaurant: tables placed neatly in rows, with bushes separating them. A room-spanning bar made from a single piece of wood and gle...

2024-08-03 19:11:49 +0000 UTC View Post"That is almost as much Purperion as we had in that disk before," Ambraz shouted excitedly in his mindscape. "Try and find out if this Tang wants to sell it or trade it!"

Irwin leaned to the side as the old, completely metal-flying ship angled through a corridor at breakneck speed. The straps of the metal cabled harness dug into his shoulders and chest, but he wasn'...

2024-07-21 20:02:57 +0000 UTC View PostIrwin and Tiscian both sipped from their drinks as they looked at each other. The Ignitzian Blademother had taken a chair opposite of him, and with him sitting almost on the ground, their eyes were...
2024-07-20 19:34:45 +0000 UTC View PostIrwin followed Tiscian through a door that looked like obsidian rock. It was smooth and slick, except for a beautiful sword engraving that decorated the entire length of the front.

2024-06-29 19:40:26 +0000 UTC View PostDaubutim tried to remain calm, slowly opening and closing his hands.
Tension will not result in a good ending. His father's cold words echoed through his head.

2024-06-21 18:48:05 +0000 UTC View PostIrwin followed Greldo through the forest, breathing in the cool air. The cold wind and fresh scent promised more rain. If there hadn't been as much moss and grass below the forest, they would be wa...
