Priestess Retrieved
The little grey figure looked up at Erik. The rogue stared back at the dredger, trying to read its expression for any guile.
“You are certain?”
“Definitely,” the dredger answered.
“I’m in a hurry,” Erik said to the dredger.
“I would not waste your time.”
“How are you so certain?”
“Shorter than you. Long hair.”
“That could be anybody.”
“Blue eyes.”
“You are certain,” Erik becoming very focused on the dredger.
“Definitely. She is in there,” the dredger added, pointing towards the group of nearby buildings.
Erik reaching into his pocket and pulled out a red stone. He had seen other dredgers take them and Erik had taken the opportunity to liberate it from one of the denizens of this realm. He held the stone...
You Were Warned
“We’re going to get a drink, boss.”
The priest scowled at the burly man, looking at him so sourly that the man immediately thought better than to leave.
“You are not being paid to drink,” the priest hissed. “You’re here to protect me at all costs.”
“We’re inside the keep,” the other man, who was almost as large as the first, replied. “There are plenty of guards out there.”
“And you two are supposed to guard me in here. What if he were to get inside? That’s why I have you two here!” the priest added, pounding his fist into the table he was sitting at. The priest continued to scowl at the two henchmen as they looked at the ground.
The sound of the lock in the door clicking caused all their heads to...
Awakening In A Dark Place
Braghaman took a slow, ragged breath and let out a groan. Then he took another breath. And then another. He could feel rocks pressing into his face. With effort, he drew his hands up his sides and pushed, rolling over onto his back. He let out another grunt. Opening his eyes, everything was a pale blur. He shut his eyes again and tried to remember what happened.
“There was an explosion. I think,” he muttered to himself. “Probably not dead. Shouldn’t hurt if I’m dead.”
He moved his arms and legs slightly, trying to take stock of his condition. After a few moments, he let out another grunt and forced himself to a sitting position. “Still in one piece, I think.”
Bragh shook his head and took a deep breath. Looking around, he...
Onward Goes the Journey
“I want her to go with the next group out.” Bishop Lancaster glared at Niviene from across the way. “She must be made to serve the Light as is her duty. Do not give her time to think, time to pine for her family. A priest’s first, and only, duty is to serve the Light. She has forgotten that. We will remind her, even if it breaks her in the process.”
The underling priest glanced at the Bishop before nodding his head, “Yes sir. Of course sir. Might I suggest Maldraxxus. There should be more than enough going on there to keep her occupied. It is not the place for the faint of heart. She will be kept on her toes, she will either see the error of her ways, or break.”
Lancaster chuckled merrily, “Yes. That will do nicely....
Detention
Niviene glared at the bruisers on either side of her while they, with an air of familiar boredom, sat sharpening their blades. She rubbed the sore spot on her arm gingerly, certain a bruise was forming where one of the men had grabbed her to drag her away from the portal.
At the sound of approaching footsteps her guards scrambled to their feet, snapping to attention. Bishop Lancaster sneered down at the priestess, “Of course it would be you Sister Larethian.” the title he’d used dripping with sarcasm and malice. “You have ever been a problem for the cathedral, from the first day you came to Stormwind.”
Niviene’s eyes widened slightly, making the bishop give a mirthless chuckle, “Oh yes. I know all about you. You married...
