Kaya was not dead.

In fact, she was in one piece. But then, the realization hit her. If she was alive, everyone else certainly was not.

Kaya scavenges through the snow looking for anything, anyone. The cold snow slides past her fingers like sand, empty. No sword, no Neo, no sight of where she is.

But as her visions begins clearing up, it dawns on her that she is in-fact not alone. Or maybe she...

The blood was horribly fresh, dripping from the bell and marking out a path in the snow, one she didn’t want to follow.

But they needed to do this, they needed to find what Dad had sent them for, and there was no getting around it.

Alizee didn’t bother to check on Corentin as she ducked under the fiery banners. An incredible eyesore upon the mountain, since it wasn’t Kindran territory whatsoeve...

Follow the bells they said and ring each one on your way to the top.

I had rang nine of them. The snow prints had proved it and will continue to prove it for as long as the air remains still or for as long as the sun doesn’t burn too bright. My blades sheathed, I tuck them in tight and wrap a scarf around my face. One bell left.

Summit to the top Lifetime goal Don’t ever stop Truth unfold

Clinks of metal hitting against one another echoed through the mountains as slain bodies fall to the snow-covered ground. Hundreds of warriors lay lifeless as more and more of the people we were fighting grew smaller. Power was being stripped away and it would be obvious that the land was soon to be controlled by another.

Even with men and women d...

A mountain pass, covered in blood, The remnants of a battle not long since fought, Against a people unfairly judged, Over a land all around sought....

Xoe began to feel herself drift again, dissociating form the world around her, the voices of the people in the room growing distant. No, no, not again. She fought to hold on as the panic began to drive through her. She dug her nails into her other hand but she lost the battle regardless as her vision was overtaken by white.

She was on the top of the mountain again, snow swirling in the wind. Brig...

Michar felt himself being dragged to the cliffside. No. He refused to go out like this. He kicked and flailed violently, causing his captor to loose his grip. Michar struggled to his feet, turning to face his opponent, who was already smartly moving away from the edge. They circled for merely a second before the other male lunged for Michar, who swiftly dodged, even though the motion made his head...
