• The Bear

    “Everything seems clear towards the edge of the forest. If you want to get moving down here I will fly back up to keep an eye on things.”The wolf laid down on the ground so the fox could climb on top of its back. With that done, the wolf stood up and slowly walked in…

  • The Wolf

    The fox slowly moved towards a broken up log at the base of a tree, burrowing beneath it and settling in for a brief rest. As the foxes eyes closed, the owl flew to the lower branches of the same tree, perching on a branch that reached out over the sleeping foxes temporary den. Surveying…

  • New Friends

    Flying through the sky, occasionally landing on a tree branch, the owl notices there are very few animals to see. In fact for miles and miles, the owl had not seen a single other animal in the space of several days. It seems that they are possibly the last of all kinds. Taking to the…

  • Meeting

    The air in the room was heavy with smoke, curling around the iron fixtures hanging from the ceiling. The smell of sweat and animals and earth swept through the crowd, mixing and mingling, a familiar smell permeating the space much deeper than was usual. Allador sat in a roughly hewn chair on the center of…

  • Dinner

    Standing on the path from the road to his house, Allador quietly surveyed the new darkness that had formed overnight. Much like the previous one, it had seemingly grown up from the ground, creating a black pond-like space in the middle of their stockade. While the cattle was safe in the barn, there was nowhere…

  • Darkness Stirs

    Not long after the darkness enveloped their fields Allador began hearing of similar events on other farms. Some, like theirs, appeared in the fields where their crops were grown. Others, however, were in the livestock pens. One night, everything would be as normal; the following morning there would be nothing but the darkness, all of…

  • Home

    “Heil, Allador!” a young man’s voice called from inside the barn as Allador approached on horseback.“Heil yourself, Eriq!” he replied, swinging down from his mount, his younger brother running out to greet him. Tall, gangly, with chestnut hair, Eriq could not be further from his brother in appearance. As they embraced, Eriq knocked his chin…

  • Beginnan

    It had been centuries since the time of darkness, when Evil ruled the land from all corners of the map, when Man had risen up against the Evil, joining forces with the unlikeliest of allies, and crushed it out of existence. In the Age of Light that followed, mankind moved on, rebuilding that which was…

  • Entering the Lair

    Morgan smiled back and walked into the building, leading Michaels inside. The façade of the building was fairly plain, but the interior bordered on elegance. The entryway was paneled in knotted pine, lightly oiled to bring out the natural colors in the wood. A curved archway opened into the main lobby, the floors of which…

  • Michaels On The Scene

    Pacing slowly back and forth in front of the rose bushes, Michaels bowed his head in thought, reaching out with his mind, his spirit, looking for anything to touch. Slowly he began to see flashes of activity, as if he were watching a film in reverse with large breaks in the editing. He could see…
