Veryyn closed the box, and the glowing subsided inside of their small cell. “But I don’t understand, is this small stone responsible for all of this?” Veryyn said, gesturing around. “Yes sir, sure is.” Perthran said delightedly. “With this little stone, you can power all sorts of things! You haven’t seen anything yet. We’ve figuredContinue reading “Veryyn’s Tale, Part 17”

Veryyn’s Tale, Part 16
As they crossed the threshold into the dwarven tunnels, Veryyn was taken back. In front of him laid a sprawling roadway that stretched both left and right as far as he could see. Most strange to Veryyn was the oddly bright white light that the place was illuminated with. His eyes were accustomed to seeingContinue reading “Veryyn’s Tale, Part 16”
Veryyn’s Tale, Part 15
The white light that emanated from above the tall iron gate was both dazzling and terrifying. Barron growled his woody growl as they approached. “What is this strange light?” Veryyn said, bewildered. Perthran and Kotia exchanged an excited glance, and the three continued towards the imposing door. “That is what we have come for, elf.”Continue reading “Veryyn’s Tale, Part 15”
Veryyn’s Tale, Part 14
Barron’s unease grew with each step as they ventured deeper into the dwarven tunnels. Despite the fear they had initially faced entering the tunnels, their exploration so far had been for the most part uneventful. Veryyn, Perthran, and Kotia were huddled together near a small cooking fire while Barron paced nervously down the long roughlyContinue reading “Veryyn’s Tale, Part 14”
Veryyn’s Tale, Part 13
The ground trembled under Bradford, causing him to stir. He had rested some, but there was no light in the sky. Alert now, he bolted wide awake. From his perch wide and above the gap he looked out. In the distance came a rumbling. A sweeping black mass was difficult to make out in theContinue reading “Veryyn’s Tale, Part 13”
Veryyn’s Tale, Part 12
One hundred and forty three men, and ninety-nine horses were torn to shreds at the hands of the Daemor. Bradford rode with all speed through the foothills, making for Nearborne. Together with his mighty steed Anemodes, he flew down the wide dusty road. He rose and fell through the rolling hills, the winding to theContinue reading “Veryyn’s Tale, Part 12”
Veryyn’s Tale, Part 6
Veryyn cleaned his slender blade in the low grass and stooped low to give his four-legged friend some attention. Barron wallowed in the affection from his master. The elf felt no remorse for the quick deaths he had given. A great anger boiled inside of him, as we began his quick walk back to theContinue reading “Veryyn’s Tale, Part 6”
Veryyn’s Tale, Part 5
Garrett hastened his step as the dogs picked up fresh scent. “Yaevagrim, look there!” He exclaimed. From the beaten path, the small party had strayed maybe half a mile at the dogs’ signal. In front of them nestled between two trees was a low shelter. “Stragglers, round them up, men.” Yaevagrim called his dogs toContinue reading “Veryyn’s Tale, Part 5”
Veryyn’s Tale, Part 4
A great rumbling filled the valley. An exhausted Evie allowed her eyes to open, and quickly she shook Veryyn awake. “Veryyn, Something’s happening!” Evie said nervously. Together they crawled out of their inconspicuous shelter. The sun was already rising high in the sky. “We slept too well Evie.” Veryyn said. His dreams had come tooContinue reading “Veryyn’s Tale, Part 4”
Veryyn’s Tale, Part 3
Veryyn awoke with a jolt. Anxious dreams kept him from proper rest, but surely he could lay idle no longer. Crawling out of the large bed, he dressed and made for the entryway. Barron stirred and circled about his feet. “I need to see the sky. You too bud?” Veryyn spoke softly so as notContinue reading “Veryyn’s Tale, Part 3”
