"I don't want you going anywhere near that kid, MJ. He's dangerous," Mary Jane's mom stressed to her, sitting her down in their living room. Her mom was covering her bruises up with makeup. She had gotten pretty good at it, Mary Jane reflected. The foundation matched her skin tone, and it covered the black eye up pretty well. However, the swelling gave away that it was still there. The same for the bruise on her jaw.
When she was younger, Mary Jane loved helping her mom put on her makeu...
2023-02-11 15:55:49 +0000 UTC View Post“That was too much,” Leliana scolded me as we turned away from Teagan, who was speaking to Alistair in a low tone. I’m guessing he was either saying unkind things or plotting to put him on the throne of Ferelden. Frankly, I couldn’t have cared less in either case. “You must be diplomatic, Azoth. Bann Teagan controls the Arling now that his brother is recovering.”
“Or dying,” I muttered, wondering if I was hopeful or not, mostly out of spite. I sincerely doubted that Arl ...
2023-02-10 16:26:33 +0000 UTC View Post“You didn’t say anything,” Theron remarked in a quiet voice as we set up camp. We rejoined the villagers, but they were giving us -- or, rather, Shale -- a wide berth. As a result, we didn’t really need to take watch. Apparently, Shale didn’t need to sleep, but it was decided that it would be best if at least one Grey Warden was up at all times. Alistair could feel the darkspawn the best out of the three of us, but Theron was rapidly catching up. Likely because of how tainted he had...
2023-02-10 16:26:31 +0000 UTC View Post“You are a saarebas,” Sten accused me as if I had deceived him. I noticed that he waited until he was armed to do so -- a large two-handed blade that he handled with ease and the utmost contempt. Finding armor for him was going to be difficult, but he didn’t seem to mind. Seemed to prefer it, really. We were readying the horses for the trip to Honnoleth to collect the golem before heading to Redcliff since it would only be a small detour. When we got to Redcliff, Elissa and her forces w...
2023-02-10 16:26:30 +0000 UTC View Post"Tell Durian I want our people out of Edgehall. The whole alienage," I told the runners. "It's located outside the city and it's right fuckin' dead in the hordes’ path. Get them all out. Kicking and screaming if you have to," I continued, sitting on a stump of a tree. A number had been felled to build up fortifications around Lothering. They wouldn't do much, but I suppose it was better than nothing. "Same for South Reach and Gwaren -- they're lost. They just don't know it yet." Alim would ...
2023-02-10 16:26:28 +0000 UTC View PostWas this intentional? It was my first thought as the plum of dust drifted upwards, the tunnel completely collapsing as far as I could tell. My mind raced, a thousand different thoughts running through my brain as I gazed at the collapsed tunnel, my jaw was slack with shock and I was frozen with indecision. Perhaps it was arrogant to assume that someone was willing to kill upward of a thousand men just to kill me, but it sure felt like an assassination attempt. Grimar? King Widukind?

2023-02-08 15:36:32 +0000 UTC View Post"It looks like disease," I observed from my position on the watchtower, looking out at the Franks that were hurrying their dead to a large grave. Next to me, King Widukind stood, most of his body protected by the stone rampart, but standing next to him was a warrior that had his shield raised. Just in case someone tried to assassinate the Saxon King. Well outside of the effective range for the average archer, I saw a trail of soldiers that were carrying bodies to the large hole that was being...
2023-02-08 15:36:29 +0000 UTC View PostDespite the siege, it was decided by King Widukind that we would celebrate Yule to honor the gods, as thanks for the victories we had enjoyed so far. While we couldn't make wreaths, we had everything else we needed to celebrate -- animals to sacrifice, and Yule logs that were carved out of buildings that had been torn down. The decision wasn't just to honor the gods, I suspected, as I overlooked Frankfurt from one of the watchtowers. I wasn't sure who spoke of it, but word had spread about th...
2023-02-08 15:36:26 +0000 UTC View PostThe meeting concluded not long after the reveal that we were dealing with an entirely separate Frankish Army. King Widukind acted composed, but there was an edge of franticness in his actions that betrayed how flatfooted he was caught. How off guard all of us were taken. We were sworn to secrecy before he would ‘allow’ us to leave to avoid panicking the troops, and any reservations that I felt about the lies of omission were reassured by Thorkell voicing his agreement to the plan.

2023-02-08 15:36:24 +0000 UTC View Post"Where the fuck is the fucking- oh, there it is," I muttered to myself as I stood surrounded by bits and pieces of equipment ranging from wires, nuts and bolts, electronics, and some metal plating. Grabbing the wrench, I started aggressively unhooking a bolt that I had secured way too tightly. Normally, building things gave me peace of mind. A zen-like state where my brain turned off all unnecessary functions and I could just work without thinking about anything other than the task at hand. 2023-02-06 15:49:03 +0000 UTC View Post
V hadn’t reconnected with me in a month after shooting me a text to deliver the Element Zero implants to a drop point in the Glen. I parted with them with some reluctance, mostly because I still didn’t understand the substance at all and J had given me an inkling of what it was capable of. That lack of contact should have been something of a reassurance, but I found myself more nervous than ever. It felt like there was a leash around my neck and at any moment, without warning, I was going...
2023-02-06 15:49:00 +0000 UTC View Post“Damn, they really cut you up, huh?” J remarked, perched on a table that she had moved to the corner. She slept with her back to it, usually seated up with her legs curled into her chest. The chair that was there was used as a footrest as she watched me get out of the shower with a towel wrapped around my waist. Her eyes flickered over my chest and arms, following along the scar tissue that had built up over a decade of constant surgery. “You have more scars than I’ve ever seen on one...
2023-02-06 15:48:58 +0000 UTC View Post“You fucking fucks!” Subject Zero snarled at me as I collapsed into a heap on the ground, purple energy surging around her hands. It felt like a massive weight was crushing down on me until I was completely flat on the ground, unable to even take in a breath of air because my lungs didn’t have the strength to expand. The metal underneath me groaned ever so slightly, every muscle in my body straining against the weight. “You pieces of fucking shit! I’m gonna kill every single one of ...

2023-02-04 15:50:23 +0000 UTC View Post“Fuck me,” I moaned, really wishing that I could remain asleep, but my brain wouldn’t turn off the moment everything clicked into place for me to wake up. I was on a rough hay bed and the cloth over it was itchy, so was the blanket that covered me. Those were far more distance concerns because I’m pretty sure that I was naked and my last memory was falling face into some muck. Unless the darkspawn decided to strip me and tuck me in, I clearly wasn’t with them. Meaning that I could s...

2023-02-01 15:40:48 +0000 UTC View PostThe charge was absolutely devastating. There was simply no other word that could hope to convey the effect that the cavalry charge had on the unprepared back of the army. Spears broke as they tore through men like an axe through cloth, shattering into splinters while the horses knocked men over and trampled them under a tide of hooves. Some horsemen weren't so lucky. The wall of people proved to be too thick in some places, either halting the charge or flipping a horse over and sending the ri...

2023-01-30 16:01:52 +0000 UTC View PostI squeezed the trigger, the gun bucking in my hand as the bullet bounced off a sharply angled wall, striking the ground, and still ripped through the kneecap of a man that was taking cover behind a concrete barricade. I heard him cry out, but through a camera, I saw him fall to the ground, clutching his knee before his hands scrambled for an inhaler. He took a hit from it, breathing deeply before he jumped right back up on his feet, completely ignoring how his kneecap was missing. Bullets sla...
