A Final Meeting

(Originally posted Nov 14, 2010)


Braghaman sat up on the bed and glanced around the room. It was a small room, enough space for a table and a chair at one side and the bed at the other. It was a quaint home, comfortable for the people who lived here usually. The hearth had a cozy fire in it, casting a warm glow around the room. The door was open, the early evening peering into the room.

It had been two days since the priestess had brought him here. Smuggled out in the back of a wagon, she'd brought him to Darkshire and to this little home just outside. She'd bound his hand and helped him as best she could. Then the young priestess returned to Stormwind to see what could be found out.

Two days of laying in the bed with nothing to do...

Voices In The Dark

(Originally posted Nov 11, 2010)


Nalya was new to the Cathedral. She had completed her priestly training in Northshire Abbey and had only recently arrived in Stormwind. As a young priestess, she was still amazed at the grandeur and size of the Cathedral. The city was much larger than her home in Darkshire. But at least she didn't have to worry about something coming in to town to eat her, she thought as she walked through the halls of the Cathedral.

She was new, so she had been given mostly menial tasks to do. But Nalya didn't mind. She was happy to be helping in any way she could. This evening, she'd been given the task of lighting the candles in the rooms in the keep. With a calm smile, she walked down the halls of the lower...

Discussions in the Dark

(Originally posted Nov 3, 2010)


Deep in the halls of the Cathedral, the light of the morning barely made itself known. Sitting in his lonely cell, the priest was on the floor, cross-legged with his head bowed. As he slowly, rhythmically breathed, his peace ended with the quiet tapping on the door to his room.

"Come," the priest said quietly, his head remaining bowed.

"Father Corenyn," the paladin greeted quietly as he entered the room and shut the door.

"Brother Faris," the priest returned, finally looking up to the doorway. He looked young, not quiet the years of middle age. Apparently fit, he never seemed to tire in front of the others in the Cathedral. "You bring news?"

"I do, father," Faris began as he moved closer. The...

Discussions in Dark Places

(Originally posted Oct 28, 2010)


Slowly, consciousness creeped up on the paladin. And with it came the pain. A dull throbbing pulsed in his head. He could feel his heart beating in his head, and it was not a pleasant sensation. Slowly, he tried to bring his hand to his forehead, but couldn't reach his head. Tentatively, Braghaman pulled on his arm with no success. Jerking harder, he could begin to make out the sound of metal jingling near his ears. Turning his head to the side, Bragh could see his arms hanging from the wall by heavy chains.

"Glad to see you're back with us," a gruff voice spoke in the shadows.

Wincing, Bragh began looking around. The room was shadowed. He was sitting on the floor, chained to the wall by his wrists....

A Cold Day In...

(Originally posted Oct 27, 2010)


The hour was late. Sooner than some would want, the morning would begin to break along the horizon. But for the moment, darkness had settled deep as the night slowly progressed. Most had long since gone to sleep, few continued to mill around the city of Stormwind.

Inside one of the town's inn, the silence was disrupted by five men who quietly moved from the entrance to the steps. Hints of armor could be seen beneath their cloaks. The men had taken the trouble to try and muffle the metal of their plate, wrapping particular parts in cloth to reduce the ringing. As the five men began to climb the stairs to the second level, they drew clubs.

"Who are we looking for?" one of the men whispered from the...

Unwritten Invitations

(Originally posted Oct 23, 2010)


A mist rose lazily from the ground, still damp from the rain that had torn through the realm earlier. In the woods, the occasional howl would echo among the trees as beasts began emerging from their lairs as the weather cleared. And in the town, the citizens also began to come out of their homes, wondering out into the twilight. As the watchers shook off their cloaks, water spraying into the air again, the clopping of hooves sounded as a lone rider came into the town's center.

Braghaman pushed the hood of his cloak back, water dripping down his back, as he rode into Darkshire. His patrol had been long and wet, at least one would guess that from his appearance. The paladin reined his horse in, and sat...

Warnings In The Night

(Originally posted Sept 29, 2010)


Braghaman sat near the fire with his feet propped up on the hearth. Madame Eva floated around the common room, checking on all of her regular customers and the weary travelers who sought a safe room for the night. But she always found a moment to check on the paladin, even though she knew he would never ask for anything more than a cup of coffee to help keep the chill in check.

Walking away from him again, Madame Eva patted Bragh on his shoulder. The slight metallic ringing could be heard from the armor he had beneath his traveling cloak. She turned towards the door as a new person arrived to her inn. The hostess greeted her new guest, a large man with his cloak pulled close, but it seemed as though...

Resisting Arrest

(Originally posted Sept 11, 2010)


The shadows of Duskwood were cast deep as night creeped up on the town of Darkshire. The howls and screeches of the forest echoed off the buildings as people raced in and out of town. Braghaman stepped out of Madame Eva's inn and looked around the town. Dressed in full armor, he was still adjusting one of the straps on his breastplate as he began walking towards the town hall. He had only crossed the road when he heard a call.

"Larethian!" the voice called far too loudly for the quiet town.
Braghaman stopped and turned towards the voice. The look of curiosity was immediately replaced with one much darker.

"Faris," Bragh replied with a grumble in the back of his throat. "What do you want now?" he asked,...
