Exposition

(3 Charlatos 5115; moments after midnight, an aside from the Harp) Her arms rock me with every measure; her fingers graze across my strings, fated to lift me to heights I could never reach without her. I hear her queries to me: in her voice, in her music, in her body. I offer her my best, and there, she sings the descant with me, moving around my offered notes with a tender grace. Ach! I reach once more for her… “Yes...

Careful Confessions

(22 Fashanos 5115, The Landing) “If you are going out hunting and would like a hunting partner, I would be honored if you would have me,” a man’s voice whispered to me. Surprised, because I had not even seen him, I almost jumped. I looked at the source of the unfamiliar voice and did not even recognize his face. I am very cautious, and this elf was not introduced to me by anyone I knew. He had the look of a Faendryl...

On Top of the World

(23 Fashanos 5115, The Landing) “Hmm, I have an idea,” and with his words. the bardess was in. “Do I need to bring money … or anything?” she asked him. “Yer good,” he told her with a shake of his head. They walked through the Landing’s gates (or what passes for them of late) and headed south. The sun was very low, nearing its rest in the Bay for the night. The sights and sounds of the...

The Long and Winding Road

(17 Fashanos 5115, The Landing) The Great Moon was nearly full, and brilliantly rendered everything with an almost colorless clarity as I paid close attention to my steps on the still unfamiliar road. I was not the expert down this road, not at all. At some of the places, I do not think it even qualified for a road, but it was the way. I was cautious when urged to do so, and followed directions without balking. (I set that to paper,...

Kiss Me Again

(16 Fashanos 5115, Ta’Illistim) She sat at a quiet table in one of the Inns in the beautiful city of Ta’Illistim with the man, drinking tea. The wonders of the adventure getting here as well as the wonders she had seen as she walked the streets were already gone from her mind by the time she scooted over to sit next to him. She breathed deep of the warmth rising from the tea cup, sipping it. A warmth spread through her...

In The Forest – Dreams

(16 Fashanos 5115, The Forest Home) “Sit down, please? We need to talk,” the elf asked of his wife, adding with a tender voice, “I had Dreams, two of them. It is Luxie.” She knew the look in eyes, the tone of his voice. Something was wrong. She sank into a chair without a word, her eyes fixed on him. “Do not worry, she is not hurt,” he saw the fear on her face. His words only caused some of the...

The Fate of The First Worlde

(Outside of time, Squire Bluffs) Once upon a time, in a place very far away, there came a magical time and place – the First Worlde of Elanthia, (OOC: GemStone ][). Populated by heroes bigger than life and then by the terrible creatures that plagued them, the little hamlet of Squire Bluffs sat apart and safe from a collapsing world around them. The citizens of the First Worlde were brave pioneers. Bardic magic had not been...

The Eye of The … Lynx

(10 Fashanos 5115: The Landing) I had just sat down in Town Square to play my harp when the man asked, “Who’s taking me hunting?” I glanced at him and thought to myself, “He seems more than capable of taking himself hunting.” He was a tall elf with piercing crystal green eyes and auburn hair that could use a comb – and an even trim. The Huntmaster wore the scars on his chest and on his leather cloak...

Third Time is The Charm, Right?

(7 Fashanos 5115: The Landing) The Spider Temple. Ugh, what a place. I thought it looked like an appropriate place to hunt, and research showed that the acolytes were not supposed to be as dangerous as the priests and priestesses. So I struck out on the adventure. Alone.   The First Trip I told Miss Gingie where I was going and left town on my own up to the trail off of Old Mine Road. Entering the temple, I tip-toed through the...

Bag of Cookies on the Mountain

(5 Fashanos 5115: The Landing) Drektor asks, “You understand this trip is kinda like eatin’ a bag of cookies for dinner?” I had to laugh at that. What an appropriate metaphor. The mountain was Sentoph. The cookies were Storm Giants laid flat out on the ground, (relatively) harmless. And the dinner was for me on this adventure, we had just looted the first giant. Seriously, I did know and understand that I honestly...
