    Talus lips pressed to a thin line as torchlight began to cast down the hall, eventually revealing a single doorway dashed with shadows. He glanced over to Zana, his eyes rolling. So melodramatic. He thought, the reflection of those words echoing down in a sense through the bond. The former...

    ”Well.” Talus’ whispered quietly. ”At least it doesn't smell like death.” The comment wasn't meant to be funny, but more a reminder of what they had encountered the last time they'd run Into Nassau. The gruesome sight of the strange diseases dragon and the citizens which had been twisted...

    Talus’ head tilted from side to side as he considered the words of his beloved. He knew that she was right of course. The only way to figure out what was going on here would be to get inside of that pyramid. His lips pressed to a thing line, and he let out a long sigh as he finally nodded his...

    Talus gazed at the orc-like creature. "Sometimes I wish I never developed morality." The former Dreadlord commented with a slight frown. "Their way was easier a lot of the time." It was a conversation the two of them had had many times over the years. How the need to do good, the path they had...

    "No." Talus agreed. "He will not." There was of course...always not telling the dragon. Perhaps slightly underhanded, but if the great beast knew that his kin was still alive he might go rampaging across the whole of the isle. There was no telling what chaos would break out, and that wasn't...

    "Wre chropa wud futr toil." The Orc-like creature seemed to slowly put together Zana's words, replying to her half in his own tongue, and half in a quick drawing on the floor besides where Talus had made his offer of friendship. The language barrier slowly began to break down as the two...

    "At lu del win!" The man replied almost instantly in a panic, his words clearly denoting the fact that he did not wish to be here. Fear playing across his features as he looked from Talus to Zana in sheer and utter terror. Almost as if expecting to die. And yet, even with the language barrier...

    The orc-like man froze, his legs comically splayed out in a sprint. His hands shaking and immediately snapping to his legs. Fingers wrapping around his thighs as he tried to force them to move, Talus nearly cursing into a laugh as he watched him almost topple over from the effort. ”Take it...

    Talus nodded his head, taking a deep breath. At home there was not truly much call for the use of his magic, in fact he tried to not use it more often than not. Though their gifts were a privilege, and the twins used their magic more naturally than he ever could, it was important to remember to...

    Talus glanced over his shoulder. "Probably." His magic worked quickly, phase-walking was faster in some ways than even the speediest Dreadlords. On the other side Talus was not bound by the laws of physics, nor the limitations of the human body. He had never once taken someone unwillingly to...

    A frown pulled at Talus’ lips as he observed the others. His head shaking slightly as Zana offered her thoughts on the strange orc like creatures. Maybe Orcs, changed somehow. The Delta was not too far from the Blightlands. The Wylds blocked the way of course, but he had heard tell of blue orcs...

    Talus gave a weary nod as they continued to trek through the jungle. His mind half set on Zana's words, and half on searching through the thicket of vines and tropical trees. The humidity was already causing a thin sheen of sweat to draw across his skin, and he could practically feel the air...

    Talus rolled his shoulders as he once again stood on the sweet earth beneath his feet. For a second he simply reveled in the feeling, but tried not to make it too obvious. The Great Dragon was already lamenting the possible fate of it's kin, and he would not rub his momentary joy into it's...

    The Delta. Talus had never visited the place, though like every other Initiate had read more than enough. The Naga were one of the larger boogeymen the Proctors had used when eliciting the hatred of other species. He could still recall much of the reading about their raids on Alliria and other...

    Talus followed along quickly, saying his goodbyes to Brigitte and offering her a small word of warning. He knew that she was up to the task, he would not have left her here if he did not, but he still didn't enjoy leaving. As Lyra and Alec grew, their magic would only get stronger. A fact which...
