"I'm going to need either the Jarl or Maven-" I started, fishing for a hostage to bring back. The plan was to use them to convince Ulfric that Nocturnal was taking the offer to break bread seriously, and maybe have the hostage speak in favor of the idea. But, that was probably going to backfire o...

It looked like a sewer tunnel with a grate over it, one that had rusted away after years of being exposed to the sea. I glanced at her to find that she was frowning, not liking the idea...

Sheogorath said the clock was moving on my time, right? It should be fine. I could totally go home, relax with Hestia, then deal with this shit later. But...
2020-11-07 15:56:17 +0000 UTC View PostIt didn't feel real as I read the headlines. It was all over the news in Gotham, each telling the same story. The Blackgaters, the king of East End, had been toppled and it was now a race for the throne. Articles about the number of arrests made, articles praising the Bat-family and the police. J...

The postal service would have destroyed any fingerprints on the outside, but the inside was still a possibility. Swallowing a sigh, he pulled out a...
2020-11-04 15:58:24 +0000 UTC View Post"It's been a while. How have you been?" I asked, keeping myself calm. It was rather frightening how used I was getting with guns being pointed at me. In response, Jeremiah grabbed me by the jacket and slung me into a wall. My back hit it with a solid thump, but I was more focused on the gun being...
2020-11-04 15:58:18 +0000 UTC View PostHaving a Nth metal mace opened up a lot of doors for Shayera, and not just because she was knocking them down. Outside of Thanagar, the metal was mythical to those that knew about it at all. And the Frieza-force, more specifically Tarble’s empire, most certainly knew about the metal. Some had t...
2020-11-02 15:53:58 +0000 UTC View PostFasha sighed, the sound nearly drowned out by the sounds of war. She hovered above a city, ready to throw herself into the mix if needed. Her kids, her army, were strong but so were their enemies. As much as Fasha would love throwing herself headfirst into the fight, she wasn't Tarble who could s...

2020-11-02 15:53:52 +0000 UTC View PostI swallowed a sigh as I leaned against the doorframe, crossing my arms and observing. Komand'r stood at the command center, a long hologram displaying the Citadelian homeworld and what was known about their defenses. Flanking the table were holograms of the pirates that we had subjugated. None of...
