It had been a month into Alistair's exile. With his big, string bag around his shoulder, he trudged through the undergrowth of a forest just west of Alliria. That was the only thing he knew about where he was. "I must be near Falwood by now," he thought as he shoved the arm of a tree out the...

The marble archway that lead to the courtyard cracked under the impact of Alistair's blast. He flew backwards, then crashed into a pile of rubble. The dust split, giving way to flames left behind by the explosion. Pain shot through Alistair's back, but nothing was broken, and he was able to pull...

Feeling out around him, Alistair stepped carefully through the ruins, often stubbing his toes on rocks and pieces of stone. Rocky sat on his shoulder and guided him, chirping as maneuvered his way blindly. Muttering to himself, he walked straight into a rock and tripped right over, falling flat...

The sight of Zafira biting her lip sent a pang of desire down Alistair's back. Her sharp, perfectly maintained eyebrow rose and he lowered his head, trying to look away from her body. The flirtatious woman asked him if he meant for her to not keep her hands off him whenever they weren't...

Steam rose around Alistair's feet as he stood before Sparhawk, the tension between them so thick, a knife could have cut it. Holding his ground, the young apprentice breathed in, his gaze unfaltering as he beheld his master. Sparhawk said that he was not as cruel or unforgiving as the college...

As Alistair shielded the young girl from the blast, she reached down and cried for the small kitten that had escaped her grasp. She wasn't running like he had told her to, and instead, stayed right behind him. He had already let his master die, he didn't want to let a young girl die because of...

The boy hesitated, before offering Alistair his hands. Muttering to himself, Alistair wrapped his fingers around his wrist and looked down at his palm. They were scraped, nothing more, but could be painful if infected. Reaching into his robe, he grabbed a blue potion in a vial and unscrewed the...

Alistair was not typically this nervous, but he typically didn't get to spend time with a woman as beautiful as Zafira, and she seemed to like him, which threw him all out of sorts. When Zafira said that his comment regarding her as being distracting was a compliment, he hung his head and...

The aging light of an afternoon sun cast a balm over the college grounds, warming Alistair's cheeks as he strode along the grass. Hood swept over his features, he waved to his friend, Ezra Archiva, shooting him a mischievous smile. He had been writing down a few hydromantic spells for him to...

Pulling his tired feet through the sand, Alistair smirked with amusement when Iliris commented on what he was studying. She spoke of a mage she had heard of, who could lift entire lakes out of their bed. Once Alistair reached the top of the dune, he placed a hand on his hip and whistled...

The boy skidded across the ground as soon as he bumped into Alistair. Quickly, he grabbed his basket and made sure nothing had fallen out. At first, he was angry that the child hadn't been looking where he was going, until he saw that his hand was grazed. Alistair's features softened and he...

Alistair shook Freya's hand firmly, his cheeks dented with dimples as he smiled. Rocky chirped and growled, happy to meet her as well. At her instruction to follow her, Alistair nodded, and gripped his robes as he walked after her. She lead them further into the valley, all the while explaining...

Alistair felt terrible looking at Zafira in her soaked clothes. When she promised the Professor that they would practice the technique perfectly the next day, he hung his head and pouted like a dog that had just been hit for pissing on the floor. He sheepishly tied the sash around his waist then...

Alistair walked beside Ashieron through a valley situated beyond the ruins. A light layer of snow covered the grass, clinging to Alistair's hood. He had left his new spellbook in his chambers to study later, after Ashieron's friend had helped him out with Rocky. The baby dragon sat on his...

Alistair hung his head and smirked. Feeling Tristan's hand on his shoulder, he blushed slightly, laughing to hide his embarrassment. His friend warned him of the women he would introduce him to, and how they might enthrall him, which made Alistair both excited and nervous. What if he was too...
