1.2 Hommes Optare At Eltera’s words of gratitude, Rentiki merely waved them away with a hand as an expression of solemn understanding passed over his broad features, the green apple half eaten and forgotten. Terwase nodded wordlessly in his rather understated manner. “Worry not, dear Cat,”...

1.2 Hommes Optare As the conversation continued, Eltera found her stomach settling with the help of the food. The rocking of the ship was still uneasy on her, but the meal had certainly aided in easing that sickness in her stomach. The dinner was certainly a pleasure – far better than the...

1.2 Hommes Optare “I was thinking of heading west, actually, past the Maw and into the Ambossmeer. I oft hear of many a great opportunity to make one’s fortune in the Free Holds of Inmerron. A lovely people, the Inmerish, though they drive a hard bargain as any of the Obsidian Islanders,”...

1.2 Hommes Optare Eltera had strongly debated about changing back into her normal garb. Dresses and finery felt wholly unnatural, impeding her movement and seeming to cling to her figure in every way that clothing shouldn't. She even felt inept while brushing out her hair. Despite her...

1.2 Hommes Optare As Eltera watched Rentiki stroke the undead serpent’s fleshless skull, she noted that its bones would often fluctuate in size. The creature seemed to be thin as the breadth of two fingers and the length of the man’s arm one moment, and then longer than he was tall and thick...

1.2 Hommes Optare As Rentiki's hand tightened, Eltera darted to the side like a snake. Her movements may have well been too late, but still they served no purpose. Where there should have been the pungent smell and stinging bite of metal upon her flesh, there was silence and surprise. The...

1.2 Hommes Optare Seemingly unmoved by her words, Rentiki said nothing as he leveled the pistol’s sight, ready to fire. Wasting no time, Eltera crouched low while her bare heel kicked the sheathed sword scant inches over the table’s surface so that the silver wire-wrapped hilt slid past and...

1.2 Hommes Optare As the blanket went limp, Eltera let out an audible sigh of relief. The undead snake had been two handfuls of trouble that the Svari was glad to see gone. Rentiki's command of the creature was a welcome ease, though it also prompted additional questions concerning the...

1.2 Hommes Optare Edging slowly backwards, Eltera’s gaze never left the skeletal creature before her. She felt the fabric of the fallen blanket at her feet and set her body lower in a half standing crouch, every muscle poised to spring into action. Calling out Rentiki’s name louder each time...

1.2 Hommes Optare The vision from Amurisil troubled Eltera immensely. The ancient blade had always been a source of comfort and friendship for the normally isolated and lonely Svari. Now, even the blade seemed to haunt her, even if the vision might be a warning to her. And, even of that she...

1.2 Hommes Optare Curling her fingers around Amurisil’s silver wire-wrapped ivory hilt, Eltera lifted the sword from its sheath and found the weight of it reassuring. The incredibly honed edge of its eog-forged blade shone a fierce silver in the dappled moonlight streaming through the uneven...

1.2 Hommes Optare Sitting up quickly, Eltera found her breath and her senses slowly returning to her. As she gradually realized her situation, she breathed a sigh of relief. She was safe, unharmed, and with her possessions. There was no doubt that Rentiki understood that she was not of...

1.2 Hommes Optare 1.2 Hommes Optare What is it that men wish for, a king asks, Of a pauper, of a knight, and a sellsword. Riches, says one. Titles, says another. To be king, declares the last. Such is the hubris of man. – King Qadrian Tessius of Drace, the First of His Name, an excerpt from...
