2024-04-12 16:20:47 +0000 UTC View PostIrwin struck the Gneisian Ore and instantly felt the massive resistance contained in the tiny chunk of ore. His hammer skidded off it with a screech while thin, sharp waves of soulforce zipped out ...
2024-04-07 19:17:09 +0000 UTC View PostIrwin hummed along as he listened to Teacher Narios play a slew of instruments. Some he began shaking his head almost as fast as it started, and as time progressed, Teacher Narios began nodding alo...

2024-04-06 11:41:37 +0000 UTC View PostOrion held his hand before him, trying to sense the aura he held within him. He could very faintly sense it if he focused hard enough. A fiery, unyielding sensation that seemed to be bubbling benea...

2024-03-29 20:06:19 +0000 UTC View PostSo, based on all the feedback, I'm going to add two more. Based on one thing, the age, and card, I agree that there's something lacking in the previous ones. So, although I might still use one of t...

2024-03-23 20:21:22 +0000 UTC View PostIrwin had expected to step out into a confined room with guards. Instead, as he stumbled out of the portal, he looked across a massive square bordering a rugged mountain landscape.

2024-03-08 20:54:28 +0000 UTC View PostOrion dumbly looked at Krastin, who was glaring at him, arms crossed.
