When Lena said that finding Lamond would be easy, she meant that she knew where to find him - at the Volcanic Springs spa in the South East of Battahl. Actually getting there was nothing like easy. They had to traverse the entire Battahli kingdom along its crescent-shaped valley with so many twists and turns,…
First Seed, 4E204 – Still here, Arisen?
"I thought I would find you here, Arisen! And it appears that I was right!" "I knew you'd still be lingering here, Arisen!" "As ever, I am yours to command, master!" "Arisen! You need my help." As Lena and Rook set off on their long journey to the Kingdom of Battahl, they were being stopped…
First Seed, 4E204 – Her Majesty’s escort
Rook's teleportation to Vernworth did not go unnoticed. The porticrystal stood next to the Pawn Guild on a major thoroughfare, and an arrival of a single pawn covered in foul slime and dressed in prison garb, immediately got him arrested. "In the name of Her Majesty the Sovran, I am arresting you for disturbing the…
Sun’s Dawn, 4E204 – Pawns
"That's enough, this cargo is worth more than your lives taken together!" A sorcerer with an unusual staff barked at the guards beating up prisoners. "Count them and load them into the cart! And if any of them is seriously injured... I'll have your heads!" A dozen or so prisoners were manhandled into a covered…
2 Morning Star, 4E204 – Never thought I’d meet you here
"Your companion for tonight is here," Madam Wilhemina ushered Rook into the room Lena was in. "This room is yours for twenty four hours, or longer if you wish it," she smiled. "We do not skimp on time. Do ring for room service for refreshments." She left, with a glance of encouragement towards Rook. He…
Last Seed, 4E203 – Glimpses of the past
"Let's just get to Gran Soren and be done with it," Lena and her companions stood on top of a cliff overlooking much of the land before them. "There - you can see the city in all its splendour." "It isn't Gran Soren," Scorpio said quietly. "This is Vernworth, the capital of Vermund. We are…
Last Seed, 4E203 – Falling
Lena returned to Cheydinhal after her trip to Castle Volkihar. She was happy to be back home, to finally hold her newborn son in her arms without the fear of frightening him with her vampirism. Lucien was there too, having delegated any and all jobs to Ocheeva and Vicente during Lena's absence. Everything was peaceful…
4th Era, Year Unknown – The Arisen’s Bond
Commander of the Ducal Guard Ser Maximilian Eizenstern was seen leaving the castle dungeons by the door to the sewers, a limp corpse of a prisoner hanging over his shoulder. A few pairs of eyes squinted but no heads turned, as the people who dwelled there, were long used to various guards disposing of dead…
4th Era, Year Unknown – A dream
Lena was lying on a beach, her chest slashed open, her heart missing. A dragon was standing over her. "Take up arms, newly Arisen," he said. "Come and face me." Lena sat up with a jerk. Her heart was beating fast, it was still in her chest, with an ugly, rugged scar over it. She…
4th Era, Year Unknown – The life of a pawn
"I have a feeling this might be goodbye," Scarlet said quietly when they finished their meal. "Once you deliver the wakestones to Quince, something will happen and I shall never see you again. I want you to know..." She broke off, noticing Lena's bewildered expression. "I want you to know that walking with you has…
4th Era, Year Unknown – Riddles
Lena was falling into an abyss. She wasn't trying to commit suicide, she was quite sure it was a portal. But she'd been falling for a while, and nothing was happening. "Am I supposed to do something?" She wondered. She tried to pay attention to the walls, but the fall was really fast and she…
4th Era, Year Unknown – Escort
"Ser Maximilian is requesting an escort," Lena was reading notices on the billboard in the Union Inn in Gran Soren. "Interesting." "Aha," Scorpio grinned. "Do I get the night off?" "Not that kind of escort!" She grinned back at him. "He has orders to march to the Greatwall Encampment by way of training," she shook…
21 Sun’s Dawn, 4E203 – Memories of another world
"Moonglow is only found by night," Lena repeated Scorpio's phrase as they set off to walk the roads of the Shivering Isles. "Yes, I remember. A huge party... a huge wild party... well, Sanguine was staying here, so you can imagine," she smirked. "Too much felldew and all kinds of brandy. Then someone pushed me…
