Astranaar was a town in western Ashenvale. It was host to a full lodge with armaments and a natural moat. It had the largest population in the territory and while there were many outposts, the town was the source of power projection in the province due to its ability to hold out under assault, though Astranaar had never truly been assaulted. The town was built to last a prolonged siege and that is what was expected by the defenders. Since the Horde approach was predictable, defenders were pos...

You wondered what would have happened if you never opened that book while the sounds of hooves stampeded all around you. Clashing blades rang out over everything and in the distance you could see Milk and Saedi fighting admirably against Khan, but still losing. The Centaur fought in a way that was peculiar. You thought to add it to the guide, just in case your past self would ha...

You awake to a tightness around your throat. As your eye struggle to wink away the mist of the short sleep you were allowed you are finally made to regard the Gith; Lae'zel. She has a firm grip on the collar of your clothes and her form is bent over yours in diminutive posture. She makes an intonation in her language with a sound like a mechanical latch catching on something, then speaks.
“Sleeping so soundly despite the imminent danger we face.”
“This is so sudden, we just ...

“I would be honored to act as your retainer.” You bent down into a shallow bow. As you rose, Djir looked delighted. He pulled you to his side and began walking with you.
“The honor is mine. Believe me.”
“What does a retainer do?”
“You assist me in my daily life. You've seen what Amun does?” He asked. You nodded, staring up at him as he explaine...

Lad shut his eyes for a moment. 'I”m not allowed to fall for the same thing I just chastised someone else for.' He decided. Once he had calmed himself down he opened his eyes and smiled, motioning to Dri.
“Leto, this is Driana. She's a friend.” Dri was perked by the mention of her being a friend, but she did not say anything.
“Driana, this is Leto, my sister.”

Hannah hung her head out the window of the carriage to stare down one of the many rolling hills at the view of her town sitting on the steep, rocky coast of Cheshire. A medium-sized collection of homes built in a loose circle with a cobble road running through the center and stacked stone walls surrounding most of the old, purpose built houses. To see it from above gave the impression of somewhere lost to time, with fresh peat and other moss stacked and layered over the wooden roofs. Big, woo...

'I, Paul, was apparently born with no last name so my name was “Shepard.” I have a flock that was placed into my hands and a Mother and Father that look nothing like me. But they're mine. I don't feel much from them, but I also know they aren't like other parents. I hate when people say that I look different. I don't want to stand out or anything, I just want to live normally. I never felt ambition or wants. Even as I grew older I didn't feel arousal even once at the sight of men or women...

A force slows you suddenly after falling for so long from the crashing Nautiloid. Though the feeling of an invisible force holding you and stopping you so jarringly is more welcoming than the rapidly approaching shores, it is not so gentle that you could avoid losing consciousness. You awake who-knows-how-long later with no idea HOW you arrived there except for the unhelpful, di...

You left the room and tried to discern just from looking where the other rooms would be. Amun was a worrying sight when you last saw him but ultimately your companions took precedent over him. You glanced to the left and saw a dead end at the end of the large, tiled upstairs hall. To the right it was much more hall, which meant more rooms. You fully turned to leave down the hall...

Lad shook Driana awake. Her head bobbed back and forth without strength a few more times before she finally regained control. She jumped back defensively and glared at Yeong.
“You! Stop that!”
“I'm sorry.” Yeong apologized.

Driana sneered at her. “What?”
“I said I'm sorry.” Yeong r...

All the points that Meru missed before began to sink in. All of the times Melony would not-so-subtly hint that it was pointless for him to be working out since there was 'no point building muscle on his noodle arms.' She made increasingly aggressive moves to choose what Meru wore, favoring tighter, more revealing clothes and then there was the fairly overt physical domination she treated him to in their day-to-day interactions.

You promised to train the disciples of the Sect in place of Saedi, however you truthfully had no clue what you were doing or why you agreed to begin with. The training sessions involved you, Cai, Hao and a few more of the primary Disciples outside of the sect as you attempted in a futile manner to impart the basics of the 'Hard-Step' technique.

The moment Nyle logged in the emotion he felt was an odd, foreign emotion. In his rational mind there was no basis for that feeling in reality. But, as the thoughts of his Avatar crept into those he himself held he figured that his rationality was not long for the world. “I -Give Up- …” His slender shoulders slumped. It was useless.

She adopted a disdainful expression. “Ugh, no.”

Vura pinched the bridge of her nose. The Guarond retreated into his dwelling and for some odd reason she was the only person he would accept 'payment' from. Jeane guessed that it was simply due to Vura being the first woman he saw, or perhaps that the monster had a type.

Frida removed her headset. “Time to check on the stooges.” She muttered to herself as she stood up from her desk and stretched. Within the game Frita was a Plague Doctor. It was a rare class that allowed her a unique defense against all curses, magic and diseases. Plague Doctors had natural methods to reverse such things as well. It was a difficult path because, although a skilled Plague Doctor could be placed incredibly high in the hierarchy of useful players, they had very low potential...

“Those irresponsible cretins actually made a hole in the mountain!” Shandris cried out in rage. She was mounted atop her hippogryph and flying at her side were more of her elite Sisters. Sentinels trained not just for battle, but to take over for her should anything happen. Her trusted advisors and friends. They stared down at the destruction in disgust. Their expressions were all mirrored. No woman was in disagreement, but others and more clear ideas.

He could feel the tension building already and there was also a strange aura around Yeong that felt like something a bit more complicated than simply being an intent to kill, or a desire to fight.
