Chapter 14: Oceano de Sangre y Acero

La Saga de un Drengr Escaldo: Las disputas del Gélido Norte.

  Oceano de Sangre y Acero Skerpla llegó entre festines primaverales y despedidas inevitables. Vidar y Ragnar, tras celebrar el último banquete en el poblado, se prepararon para partir. Era el mes de los corderos, y con los estómagos llenos y las bendiciones de los dioses, salieron a caballo rumbo al mar. Gracias al oro obtenido por la venta del oso y al esfuerzo compartido, compraron dos corceles resistentes. Cabalgaron desde una casa abandonada cerca de la costa de Adger, buscando un barco que los llevara desde Vestmar hasta la costa sueca. Uppsala los esperaba, y no había otro modo...

Chapter 20: Chapter 20

Toby, The Monster Hunter

Dawn came thin and pearled over Swansong, the lake wearing a veil of breath. The city’s bells were still shy of their first peal when the docks filled with men who moved like a tide—not in ranks, exactly, but with the practiced agreement of people who had marched together long enough to feel the same pull. Nets slapped wooden pilings. Ropes creaked. Gulls wrote rude letters on the wind. Ser Maxwell and Ser Sid stood at the rendezvous with the four squires and the page, Thom, whose pony looked personally offended by all the noise. The air smelled of pitch...

Chapter 34: Playing to strength

Starfarer

Felix bit the inside of his lip hard enough to draw blood. He did his best to keep his temper under control. Their barrage of snide remarks didn’t slow down just because he stayed silent. Eventually, he’d had enough. If he let them continue, they’d probably go on until lunchtime. So just as Irene was in the middle of another quip, he cut her off. “I didn’t say anything about quitting. I have my reasons for doing this. Now, are you going to order something or are you going to keep wasting my time?” A wave of fury hit him....

Chapter 10: 10 - Phantoms

Everything stood still in his eyes, which were still active. Alhen saw a dark fog; he saw dark phantoms of the creatures that lunged at him; their mandibles snapping where his body would have been if he hadn’t rolled away. Alhen ran towards the exit, sprinting as fast as he could. The only thought in his mind had to do with how to survive this situation. He didn’t look behind him; he didn’t dare to, getting tunnel vision on his destination. The weight of the artifacts and the axe on his back slowed him down, making him curse as he...

Chapter 11: Bonus Content - The Pantheon

Excerpts from the Journals of the Thrice Cursed Warlord: In the course of my path, I’ve come across conflicting accounts of the Gilded Era; while there are myriad tales echoing a longing and nostalgia for that dead time, few, it seems, care to apply a scholarly focus to the accurate recording of history. As such, from my own experience, elders and timeseers, artifacts, and what little recorded history survived the catastrophe, I will strive to elucidate our shared past in my journals.  First, I will document an enumeration of the major pantheon. Everyone knows of Galae, the Worldfather. It is...

Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Creepy Villains

Beta Tester

Rose is quiet, with a small smile as we walk into the classroom. I keep the conversation going by pointing at scratches on the wall, and telling her about the seniors who’d decided to leave their mark after graduation. The couple of students already in the classroom stare at us curiously. After all, Rose is the new student, and she’s walking with the class psycho. Rose smiles and winks at those staring, then follows me over to a desk in the back. I sit at the window, and watch as she shoots a boy a smile, before sitting next to...
