A Contented Evening
While the life of an adventurer is inherently a perilous one, not every waking moment is one of excitement or danger. There is often downtime, where one can take a moment to relax and recuperate. For Rabrandt, such times are always quite precious, especially here in...
A Warrior’s Summer Vacation
Not every waking moment of Rabrandt's life involves writing his latest novel or dealing with disasters or various levels of severity. A wanderer's soul can find adventure even in the more mundane moments, like a relaxing summer vacation. Some might not find a jet-ski off of...
Rabrandt, Reaper Unleashed
