A cock of three heads that corkscrewed away from the heart. Left head and right head hooked out. While that head center most, turned upside down. Feathers fluffed and raised. A squawk, a crook, and a trill. "Astarel?" The center head asked, high and sharp, as it seamed to wind itself tighter...

Like candle flame, pinched betwixt forefinger and thumb, the man's life went out. Drained and shuddering as he was. Hector had still felt it. His own heart felt empty. Felt cold as he held tight to feelings. Not the gooseflesh that covered his skin. Not the cold sweat that coated his...

Rolled: 16 Hector blinked as the Captain of Dusk almost seemed transformed in the moment. Grace veiled about her in the moment that she curtsied. Enough so to cause the young man to clear his throat as he put the paper away. Only to feel his face flush all the more as the Lady of Dusk lead on...

A grumble came from Hector's throat upon hearing Syr Faramund's report. "Gee," he said, flat as stagnant water. "Thanks," how utterly unhelpful, thought the young knight. He huffed, and shook off the thought. It was, after all, for a good cause. No matter the task, he would see it through...

Voices came muffled to his ears. So full of the crackle of flame. So full of the rush of the wind, and the bluster of storms. A sea of shadows, against a sky of light. Then not. Empty. Gone. Only his breath sounded in his ears. His heart. Eyes blind with the golden white of Flame. A...

There was a swirl of mist about them. As if a curtain had been drawn betwixt them and the world just beyond. Cruhk, even Hector, absent from the stage. The three heads snapped with tilts and twists as six eyes gleamed, and ebon beaks shone with wicked curves of light. A string of clatters...

It was... odd hearing his name cheered out. Brought a warmth to his cheeks and a fluttering to his stomach. Half a laugh too as he rubbed the end of his nose with the back of a knuckle. When he saw Lori though, he smiled all the brighter. Her face an odd mix of emotions he couldn't quite...

Fingers sprawled and flexed into a cage of bone and flesh that held there in the will of fire, transcribed into the earth and fed with the will of life, Hector pointed his blade-wand down toward the sigil of the north, the edge of his heirloom blade traced with the the golden light of his...

Quick steps knocked against the warm stone. Dust swirled and billowed, as sun and flame set the clouds to glow. So far beneath the day's light. All set to settle, as the horrid grind and groans of the armor's animat parts whirred and hissed in overworked protest. His heart, pump-pump-pumped as...

Tall was the figure that loomed over Marannie. The girl, small before the broad form, stood straight backed, chin raised, with her hands balled into fists at her side. Trembling. Even as the storm of clatters and squawks noisied about her, Marannie stood tall. "I've already told you, Korvo...

Roll: 17 Hammer throwing. Wasn't that long ago since Syr Edelbert had taught his lesson on the sport. Said, the technique helped encourage a fuller physique, training strength, simultaneously with- "Water, Hector?" "Oh, yes, thank you," he said with a nod. Took a measured drink from the...

A long breath out, his eyes still lit by the light of Flame as his limbs fell to the side. Gruki and Kaarle could hold the creature outside. The beast stunned upon the cold ground after Gruki's onslaught. With his heart hammering strong in his chest, Hector, felt the seconds bleed by. Felt...

Roll 16 "Really wish I could go without this band," Hector said with a pout his finger carefully worked neath the folds of the magic ward that dug into the flesh of his bicep. Trying to play it loose. Come the call for the log work, Hector stopped his fussing, took a deep breath, and made...

Heart in his throat, Hector eyed the room, his ears still ringing from the shriek that had shattered the shutters and left his legs a wobble. Pulse quickened, he turned left, then right. Heard the commotions outside. Fly, his instincts told him. Fight the threat. His teeth ground together...

Steady, and sure, Hector followed after, head keeled toward Lori as she gave voice to her concerns. He nod. "Already feels like an entire season's gone by," All that transpired now. Their original task, to tend to the ties with Altamar, and supplicate their support in the form of a Rider...
