Wake up! Wake up! Wake up Shadow Dragon! The wulven beast rolled on his back and opened his mouth for a too much desired inhalation of air. Its head was pounding and it took some time for the beast to realize that it was not dead. Hello my friend! Fear not. I am The Ashen […]
Some days, a few dead Lythian warriors and a handful of shrines later, the three-man party was looking at an iron made artifact, in a dark room inside a hidden cave in a fortress shrine. The artifact had a lizard like form, with something that looked like wings, but could also be a cape or […]
The cold mountain was fighting off the intruders with all its might, slapping gusts of wind on their faces, and splashing snow crystals on their heads; freezing their bones and burning their skin. The passage to the north was not just hard; no! It was a trial of determination. “Not everyone deserves the north”, was […]
Euric of Lith, Prior to introducing myself I would like to sincerely apologize for not addressing you by your formal title. The truth is, I don’t know it. And the truth is, apologies again, that I don’t care. To me you’re a creature of Balor; even worse: a human, as I once was. A common […]

Part 4 When Calesh woke again he was lying on his back on the green and fresh-smelling grass, looking at the blue sky with the sun’s bright light warming his face. It felt good. His first reaction was to touch his wound, but there was no more blood. He lifted his leather shirt and saw […]
Part 3 The notion of time was completely lost. Not only because the Valley was always dark, with no hints what so ever of the passing of time, but also because he was adrift, hanging in the brim of his own life. He couldn’t move anymore. Tiredness and thirst were now unbearable and he decided, […]
