Night of Revelation – Part 1(/3)
I'll always be grateful to LittleBadWolf for always being available for hire. That's a large reason why kept relying on them to illustrate the scenes that I've written for my world and characters. (The other is that their art style works well with my characters.) Night...
The Trickster’s Trap
"That's a nasty fall, my friend. I'd help you up, but first I need you to answer a few questions for me, starting with why you followed me all the way out here." Though Enigma has trained in swordplay out of necessity, the truth is he...
Tales of New Adventures
As a young man, Rabrandt grew up in a poor fishing/farming village on the outskirts of Bozja. During those early years, he was largely illiterate, unable to read or write because his family never had the time or money to afford such luxuries. For all...
The Life of Oplentian Criminals
This was another chapter that I wrote in the writing storm of November 2022, covering what Volpes and Azurium were doing while Enigma and Edmund were infiltrating their compounds. It was a good chance to have them play off each other, since I didn't do...
Rabrandt, the Red
As many are aware, I am a fan of Final Fantasy XIV, and I have been playing it since roughly the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. In January of 2023, I continued the long running side hustle of "Design MTG cards around my favorite Final...
Oplentian Infiltration
Back in November of 2022, I took a week off of work for a Thanksgiving vacation. While I had been writing short stories on and off over the course of the year, I was still dissatisfied with my progress, specifically with the "main story" involving...
Feast Fit for an Emperor
Once known as The Great Detective, Enigma's capture and subsequent rebirth at the hands of the titan Volpes had molded him into the image of perfection: Strong, cunning, ruthless, and dominant in all aspects. It was then that he knew what his mission would need...
The Spirit of Giving
The celebration of the Winter Solstice is once again in season all across the plane of Crossroads, but for the downtrodden of Oplentis's 13th district, it is a poor salve for their daily woes. While conditions in the district have been improving gradually ever since...
Looks Like Kitty Got Wet
This piece was yet another YCH that I purchased off Marsel-Defender back in December of 2022. I'm fond of writing slice-of-life pieces for these fantastical, magical characters, because I want them to feel like real people. Although he is a splendid mage, Edmund is also...
Bring Home the Bacon
As Azurium, like any former officer in the Oplentian army, would tell you how important it was for his men to go on regular hunts in order to control the monster population, keeping them away from the city limits. Almost every major city on the...
