Shae
By MarcieEve | April 26, 2013
dark tears almost falling.
What secret do you hold so close
that I cannot hide from your eyes.
Sensual form, perfect lips,
the hated geometry now controlling.
I see the detail, I see the beauty,
but cannot escape your haunting eyes.
The picture before me now
an abstract poem, ideal.
Like a god of grace, alluring,
yet you capture me easily, with those eyes...
The more I look the more I see
your beauty is unreal,
perfection's touch on your still frame
gives power to your enticing eyes.
I relent, staring deeply, mind reeling,
have I ever seen you alive?
In some fantasy, or in my mind.
Such violence, in your unblinking eyes.
I look around desperately searching
circles around your soft hair,
hoping to find your secret meaning
but all I can see are your tear stained eyes.

Mourning..
By Fadeen | April 25, 2013
His foot falls were silent as he walked through the town.. he enjoyed this time of day.. the fading darkness, the coming dawn.. even with it's irritations the wee hours of he morning had always been a special time for him.. In his youth, the camp would be falling quiet now.. the youngsters asleep in the dirt, those old enough to have someone to take to bed long gone.. Only a few elders would remain.. and those as yet attached to hear old tellings..
The stories he had heard were those of the men themselves.. Rare by the customs of the Romani, to tell tales of oneself.. superstition spoke to the risk of losing ones spirit to one who knew to much of you.. but late in life it was common to share such tales.. personal tales, tales that would carry on of you, long after you had gone to rest with the ancestors.. and so it had gone, tales of those he had always considered almost to old to have ever been young would spill out, revealing the foolishness of their youth, time spent as young men..
It had always seemed.. like as if this time had a sort of mysticism all it's own.. the promise of a new dawn, the darkness still shrouding the world around it..
It was a quality he'd almost forgotten of in his new life.. the dawn always seemed a subtle threat.. even with precaution the bright light still bothered him, and he made habit not to linger in it, unless he had true cause to..
He walked to the edge of the town, coming to sit in the sand of the beach his eyes fixed to the horizon as the sky began to give way to pinks and purples.. the sun's rise drawing ever nearer..
So much loss.. He'd often wondered if that was all such longevity could afford him. Endless opportunity for loss and suffering.. He had first thought it would be a chance to spend an eternity with Her.. but as with all times before.. Eventually all grew tired of him. The first he had taken, had led him lose the others he might have spent the unending years with.. and even for knowing any here could only offer temporary reprieve, before their all too short lives winked out.. He would not have changed his choice to leave.
She had made a grave miscalculation in his choosing.. thinking he would be first Strigoi.. and Second Romani.. but in the end what he craved more than any other thing was his freedom. The power to choose for himself.
The sun rose, the light touching the skin beneath the cowl, the subtle burning sensation crawling through his pale flesh wherever it fell.. his eyes stung with it, and yet still he watched as it crested the horizon..
Some things were worth the pain.

New Lands..
By Fadeen | April 25, 2013
The world faded in and out, the colours of the field graying and returning as the world shifted in and out.. Something about this world.. it's connection to the Shadow Realm.. it was entirely different.. Like learning the skills he had come to think of as simple second nature in Equinox all over again..
The advantage he had this time was two fold.. First, he wasn't the weak boy he was when he had learned them the first time.. Second.. he had mastered the Shadows once before.. the control of them here was inherently different.. but it was the difference in learning to use a scimitar when you had mastered a broadsword.. not that of learning swordplay after having mastered cooking..
As the world around him faded out, her scent crossed him again. It was becoming increasingly difficult to focus.. he was unsure how long they had been here.. and even less certain how long they had been in 'transit'.. but he had awoke with a fierce thirst.. and the inability to find a suitable hunting ground was only fueling the fire..
He absently licked his lips the colour of the world returning as his focus waned.. a low growl escaped his lips, the blackness returning as he forced the Shadows to his will.. This was an unnecessary distraction.. frustration. He was alone here.. vulnerable so long as they had no place to call home.. his closest ally, a hairsbreadth from an enemy..
The world faded in his eyes seeking her stilled form, the slow motion of her rhythmic breathing..
What would you do Adicia, if you knew..

Once Upon a Story
By MarcieEve | April 25, 2013
The Struggle.
Tell me this, what is a dream?
Dreams are but a fantasy for the weak,
to escuse what they can never have.
Dreams are the reason why people keep on living!
People keep living, fighting through everyday life,
Hoping and dreaming for better things.
Maybe, but dreams are futile,
Tell me this...
Is a dream what one has at night
The mind incoherent for tomorrow.
Or is a dream...
A figment of your imagination,
Created by a higher power, to spite humanity.
Could a dream be one's hopes for the future,
a subconscious stream of thoughts, flowing
Or crashing and thrashing.
Is a dream the seeming perfection of all things
one experiences in books
Knowing full well reality is bursting on your door.
Aspirations, Hopes!
Another petty thing waiting to crush you.
Is a dream when one grows and leaves the house?
Or is the real dream what shatters when
They can never come home again.

The dream.
By Engale | April 23, 2013
)...
Engale awoke with a start as the dream mixed inside his mind, third night in a row now that this dream played with his mind. He sat up and leaned over the bowl of water placed next to his bed, lifting some of the liquid to his face as he tried to let the dream fade as most dreams will. Eventually he let go of letting go of it and stood up dressing himself lightly for the warm weather they where having. As he left the house he grabbed his staff, hooking the door with it and closing his house, a small spell to stop others from entering as he left.
He walked down the road and towards Moonglow proper, Stopping to chat with this or that person that happened to be awake at this early of an hour, however Engale was never known to be the early one out, just out of training, never had high marks, most thought him a good boy, but just that. He rounded the final corner of moonglow and took a knee in front an empty throne, bowed his head and waited.
Engale stayed there, bended knee, for what seemed like days to him, however they where but only minutes, this was the day Engale would meet his master of magic and become a grand student. Engale was only here this early as to not have the dream any longer, he was tired of the dream and when the Grand Mage Levioan it was almost as if he could guess that Engale wasn't truly here to learn of his master.
"What brings you this early to learn Engale?" Levioan stated as he took his chair in front of the student. "Stand and tell me what troubles you young Magus.
Engale did as he ordered and stood up and spoke softly, almost timid in front of a man he admired. "I am haunted by a dream and sleep is where dreams lie, so waking spears me the haunting." Engale explained with no expression.
"Describe this dream that can haunt one to become a master of magic." Levioan did not ask for this to be done, but it was not an order either, it was an offer for Engale to share his burden with another.
Engale's eyes widened at this offer and he jumped at the chance. "For three days now I've suffered the dream, since graduation." Engale paused for a moment, had it only been three days? He regained his focus and continued. "I see a gate, much like the ones we use to travel between shards, but it's different, it is..." Engale paused again this time trying to find the right word but lacking any better "Tattered. There are elves there... and they are begging for me to save them, and as they do they are being attacked, huge creatures of rock and gem plague them and are trying to destroy them." Engale finally finished his description and took a deep breath, he had done as well as he could at describing his dream to someone he thought could help, or explain, something he looked at the Grand Mage and watched as the old man pondered what he was told.
Levioan nodded as Engale finished his statement. Levioan knew that a dream like this was an SOS but how should it be received? Should they rush to the aid of an unknown shard? Should they go to war with beings of gems? There where too many questions to be answered here and too many unknowns, first off all shards they where aware of had no elves to them, they had all chosen to leave a long time ago. If this was truly the elves calling for aid, he shook his head, and spoke what he knew Engale would not want to hear. "The Elven kind have chosen to leave us. On all shards we have found so far, Not one of them had remained. They waned to be rid of the shard's magic for good, their fate is now in their hands Engale. We can do nothing to help them, we do not even know how to reach them to help and it would be a waist of time to try."
Engale looked crushed and as Levioan finished his words of council to Engale the other finished students started to flock in to find out who would be their master and pass on their secrets of the magics to the next generation. Engale waited and stood still as they where being inspected by all the masters, some of shape shifting, others found grace with enchantments, but right now only one would please, no not please that was the wrong word, satisfy Engale as a master and he stood there, waiting and waiting for the right master to choose him, to teach him the secrets of their part of the craft so that it could be furthered, but he would leave if any other master than Katrina chose him.

The Adventures of Darnell Swiftarrow!
By TheGuy | April 22, 2013
Darnell watched as golden ale violently sloshed over the brim of the mug. The Dwarf Oren looked to be in good spirits, maybe even a little too good Darnell thought! “Darnell, what in the blazes are ye doing over here! Come join us laddie!†Boomed the dwarf as he raised his mug and drank deeply of the golden liquid. “Ye have been sitting over here for far to long pining over that red head of yours! It ain’t right to sit here as ye do do after a day as we have had! Let her go lad! Its what’s best!â€
“Now Oren, for one I am just as old as you are! There will be none of this lad this and lad that talk! I know how you get on days as these. After you’ve hefted that mighty axe of yours and cleaved orc skulls! It goes strait to your head!†Darnell Swiftarrow laughed merely as he spoke, “Don’t be letting it get to that think skull of yours! I won’t be having any of this ‘lad’ business as you down your ale and become all introspective on me!â€
The Dwarf put on what must have been intended as a feigned hurt look yet come off as something shy of comical. It was all Darnell could do to hold in his laughter as just the site of the dwarfs crinkled up bearded face was enough to bring even a sour orc to tears of laughter. All of this did little to help the dwarfs mood or his disposition.
To be continued …. Probably.. hahah

The Golden Empire
By Orlando | April 21, 2013
Leroy had been fending off the groups of Orc that were besieging the town. The man was exhausted as the battle slowly died down and the king was secured. After the panic the kingdom started counting heads it was then they knew the princess had been taken. The king and Leroy were completely distraught and didn't know what to do. So Leroy set out with a small band of adventurers and tracked down the Orcs to their cave but they met strong opposition and their party was quickly dispatched. Leroy did the only thing he knew to do, he prayed. "Oh kind and lovely lady Amelia. Please I am desperate." He closed his eyes for a moment and when he opened them again he was in the land of NarrowHaven. The adventure blessed with his dieing breaths ran around like a chicken with his head cut off begging and pleading for help. This is when a group of citizens gathered together and vowed to rescue the princess. Leroy with his last act opened a portal to the entrance of the Orc cavern.
There the adventures, freed Princess Maya, Rescued her trinket and safely secured her in the INN. (This is where you get to add more story by replying to this post! Good Luck Adventurers!)
[Lore Notes]
The Golden Empire is believed to be on an island off the coast of Britannia. It was created by a small group of survivors after the fall of civilization. Maya has not returned yet but is looking for a brave sailor to return her to her homeland.
