River mist was a problem come the quiet morn. Impenetrable, spooking most animals of short stature such as the riding goats and swine. Clemnilshala didn’t sleep an inch the moment she could smell the air growing damp. She felt like a duck. Sloshing about in the pig pit, certain that the caravans wouldn’t be so … Continue reading Snowy Ground: Chapter 3, Part 2

Snowy Ground: Chapter 3, Part 1
It took only one bite of Samythiel’s meal for him to know that the most dastardly of ingredients had been used. He pulled the sandwich away from his jaws to find two red squares and upon opening, he found a plethora of tomatoes. Horrid things. Berries, that couldn’t be fruits nor vegetables but unholy explosives … Continue reading Snowy Ground: Chapter 3, Part 1
Snowy Ground: Chapter 2, Finale
Once Samythiel Earthenboot awoke from his dreams who was he met by the goldeneye abbess and her protégé. The abbess had with her a silk-wrapped bundle of clothing atop which was a stack of letters. “We cannot ask a dwarf to go find the fallen star. Can we master?” Lavia asked, holding her hands close … Continue reading Snowy Ground: Chapter 2, Finale
Snowy Ground: Chapter 2 Part 6
Lavia blocked the alleyway from any escape attempt on the part of Samythiel Earthenboot or this other Eynnil. The marked lass rubbed her broken-off horn. What was her name again? She was unusual. He’d never seen tattoos upon eynnil before. Lavia tore a triangle from her raggish clothing and brought it up to the marked … Continue reading Snowy Ground: Chapter 2 Part 6
Snowy Ground: Chapter 2 Part 5
Often times the story of how one gets a split lip is a good one in the eyes of Clemnilshala Noblehood. This fine afternoon was no different. Taverns were havens for outcasts and exiles alike, a safe roof for those exactly like her. Rogues brooded in corners and knights sat back in chairs, paying no … Continue reading Snowy Ground: Chapter 2 Part 5
Snowy Ground: Chapter 2 Part 4
The library was locked in favor of giving the delegates of the shifter peoples of the southern territories the privacy they needed with the Abbess. They had swooped in, furred and feathered folk, and whisked Samythiel out of the room and dropped him outside the door. The wind hadn’t yet left his hair when he … Continue reading Snowy Ground: Chapter 2 Part 4
Snowy Ground: Chapter 2 Part 3
Night fell over the city, lamps were lit, Clemnilshala still stood, fastened to the wall in the garb of a prisoner. She wondered where her scouting gear had been taken, she’d been washed in oils, purifying her of imagined filth. Then, in the Eynnic tradition, holstered to a fence with her inky black markings displayed … Continue reading Snowy Ground: Chapter 2 Part 3
Snowy Ground: Chapter 2 Part 2
The rest of the first day Samythiel settled in with his belongings and spent time with the other initiates. Before he knew it, morning had come again and a knock upon the door roused him from his slumber. He met the surprised gaze of a frocked maid of long white hair and two, small, yellowed … Continue reading Snowy Ground: Chapter 2 Part 2
Snowy Ground: Chapter 2 Part 1 (And a Half)
The inklings of a dream had faded away, lost to the morning wind, and reality came into focus with the face of a blonde Dwarf. His familiar face, furrowed and afraid, shied away from the point of a skinning knife. Warmth welled into Clemnilshala’s cheeks, her hair bristled as she dropped her whip and put … Continue reading Snowy Ground: Chapter 2 Part 1 (And a Half)
Snowy Ground: Chapter 2 Part 1
He’d only meant to say goodbye, but perhaps he spooked her and that’s why for the single moments after she’d awoken, she’d drawn her skinning knife and beast whip. Darting side to side, her eyes searched his face for something before she returned to reality. Then she threw her whip to the side and sheathed … Continue reading Snowy Ground: Chapter 2 Part 1
