    Grabbed the bags as told, wondering when they'd gotten so chummy. Still, could always dangle a loaf or two through the bars. The unfortunates were rarely properly searched – surely he and his could shake a few more coins lose if they made bread into proper bait. Suppose he could also give 'em a...

    Open A Festival of Lights

    Dormitories Sana, Dawnsworn, had never been the bravest or the brightest. Never stood the line against charging armies or made tactical breakthroughs like some of her peers. There were knights of battle, and those of study. Never quite fit her. Hers was the belief that all places should be...

    Kindling

    There comes a time to bring every year to a close. Where skies get brighter and the moons lazier. Where the animals stop burrowing and look up in the quiet sense of a new thing. A time where, if only for a moment, Ghanga isn't a curse and Satya doesn't know. Another cycle gone by, another turn...

    Open All Roads Lead to Hestio

    Sub 3 Three miserable years on sublevel three only to be thricefucked by being passed over for a promotion for the third time. People liked saying how three was a lucky number, but Pot knew them to be full of shit. So it came to no one's surprise when he too slowly crept into Hestio's...

    Haunted & Haunting | Halloween Prompt Event

    Right, let's get this done: One character tells a lie to another. A reoccurring nightmare keeps disturbing the character. Someone from the character's past finds them. The character cannot shake the feeling that they are being watched. An inanimate object comes to life and causes some...

    Mud clung to the revenant limbs like a job well done. Slowness inviting a stop. Water plied it like lies – seeping into cracks it didn't know it had. And it flailed... violently, then slower. These limbs weren't made for the finesse. They were made for force and grab. Lucky then, that the soil...

    The many warriors that composed the being set themselves to purpose one more time. Shield wall to a shield ball – a push of deformed hands, then another. Then another. From within the manyfold armor, clinks and clanks of metal. Sprain and snap of muscle and bone unused to the new movement. But...

    Air split with light and heat. A leg came apart. Pain and imbalance. It slumped to the earth. Not an earthquake, but the earth did quake. This was wrong. Was against purpose. Legs were slowing it down. Why have them at all then? Its open hand reached for the others. Ripped and tore away...

    Open Shoot Out In Dragongreed Fort

    Dragongreed implied that there was something wrong with hoarding shiny things. So Lil' Shitz quickly did away with the name among their number. Tried Dragon next – but it never quite fit right. Place wasn't the Dragon – they were dragons, pilin' stuff up. Like them legends of old. Only no...

    In different times, someone might've struck Etain too – mob folding to include her. But all they had now were gaping mouths and widening eyes. And what was a busted lip and a bloody nose compared to... whatever the fuck that thing was? Rage gave way to fear, vengeance to survival. There...

    They settled for a moment as Etain spoke. She was the one who saved kids after all. Framed in the rising sun behind her, looked like a mighty good omen. But then she started saying the wrong things. Someone was pushed. Foot landed on another, and the sun no longer illuminated – it revealed how...

    Storeroom Just like tributaries found their way to a basin, the different groups caught up to each other. Because speed wasn't what drove the moment. Sumu had passed the rope – hand to hand – until everyone had touched it. This judgement belonged to all of them. Somewhere along the path, the...

    By Josephine It made sense that Etain was a noble. Must be why she was so angry all the time. Someone owed taxes, or there were more grains needed for the Lord's army. Always something. Always serious and sourpussed. Still, what she told Vasya was valuable in its own right. The two 'heroes'...

    By Josephine Come next light, they all found Etain the more human one. She stayed and nursed the horse. Looked tired like the rest of them – not dangerous, or other. Meanwhile, Andy made the rounds telling anyone who'd listen about Ser Drummond of Tellen – some city, far south. Might not've...

    Ea-nāṣir’s High Quality Copper

    “No no no – you don’t want gold. Gold won’t hold.” The gobalin shows too many teeth as he rubs his hands. “Copper is proper.” Smacks his palms together in anticipation, a crooked sign swinging wildly overhead: NO REFUNDS Here for stories? Good! We got plenty of those. Stories that hold...
