The place they ended up was not far into the woods. Just a few twists and turns down a wide foot path, and suddenly they were in an ancient-looking grove. A stream cut through thick banks of flowering moss, fed by a waterfall that cascaded down some distance away. Once, long ago, this place had...

Down came the crash of ice and water, in dazzling torrent against the barrier, magic arcing in prism sparks with each pelting. When Selene thought she could hold it no more, she felt the strength of Bebin's embrace round her. How onerous it had been, the first time she had tried to share anima...

Selene nodded along to what the young man told her. "A decent level of conviction," she responded once he was done. "Alright, just one last question, and then I will give you your very first lesson in magic." In one hand, Selene gathered up her robes, so they did not collect the dew upon the...

What was your experience in settling into roleplay here? I was invited to play here by Dingo, after he had already been active on Chronicles for about a year. So my settling in was aided by already having someone familiar with the site. I remember I started off by making unattached adventure...

With a shrug of her shoulders and a rumbly laugh, Selene broke the spell her own story had woven. "So many questions!" she chided Petra lightly, holding her palms up in a pleading way. "All I can give you is my own opinion, tainted by my past as it is." Selene rose from her chair, and strode...

It seemed that Selene was not done talking, yet. A sidelong glance at Helena, and then she stood. "For ages, the Knights of Anathaeum have not strayed in our... requests. Our creed remains the same: to nurture the wyld places, and the spirits who reside within it. To aid those in need...

Roll: 20 It seemed that she had been set up. The muddy arena was bright, the crowd loud. Everyone was calling her princess. It did not take much goading to get her to fully adopt the role. Selene took it with all the grace of a noble daughter, curtsying neatly to Hector as he read her name...

Such a shame, that her merriment had to be cut short. Selene was ushered through the high-arched halls of the sky elves' home by an overly anxious attendant. There was dancing to be had, carafes of drink still full, and Selene had just convinced one of the dragoons to show her how they fed their...

Normally, Selene would be in the front row of and event such as this, cheering on the knights and squires as they trained so diligently. But she'd overslept. Now the sun was high and hot in the sky, the lines at the food stalls were long, and the best views already occupied by earlier risers...

A grim hand wrapped around the young boy protectively, and Selene had to take a step back. Then another peeled its bony fingers across the boy's shoulders, and a skeletal figure appeared in the air behind him. Like charcoal, the bones of the skeleton were blackened and smoky. And like...

Selene couldn't be sure if her warning had gone heeded or not. "Ah, apologies. I forget you grew up in another forest. It is a common tale we tell children, here in the Valen." There was a book on Selene's shelf, a slight thing with large lettering and simple woodblock illustrations, which...

Present awareness seemed to wash over the young man once more. "Actually, I was curious about what you were saying. You mentioned earlier, wanting to study magic?" Selene didn't put away the light smile she wore. The expression fit poorly on her face, but it wasn't out of deception. She was...

The boy behaved oddly, but not so oddly that Selene rushed into action. Instead, Selene placed a hand upon Hector's shoulder, preemptively steadying the young knight against reacting as the boy stumbled away from them, screaming. "Hmm," she hummed, tilting her head to one side and looking at...

The compliment that the flaxen-haired Erën gave after the fight was not lost on Selene. Though the ache of her exertion was settling into her bones, she let the generous comparison bolster her. And fuel the curiosity she had for the trophy taken from their foe. Dangerous as it was, Selene had a...

The two young men did not end up waiting all that long. Lucky them, that Captain Selene, keeper of the Dusk Sanctum, was in town running some errands. The squire Lemock found her quickly, and spilled out his story in ragged breaths. Darkness surrounded the area that Lemock pointed her towards...
