Artur Paendrag looked up from his writing desk at the sound of a knock on his door, shifting under the weight of his Regalia as he did.
“Enter,” he said curtly, while lowering his gaze to the logistics reports spread out in front...

Leonidas stood in a loose circle with his friends between Synthra and Bardulf as he contemplated the rewards screen. Primus had agreed to give them six hours before they were forced to leave the Dungeon, and they’d unanimously agreed to ...

“So,” Leonidas said into the silence that followed. “What’s the plan?”
The question seemed to refocus both women, and Aylar and Synthra subtly relaxed as Bardulf and Parnym rejoined them, the former with a knowing smile, th...

Leonidas approached Bardulf first, before anyone else, with his armor and sword firmly dismissed.
The Shadowblade met him halfway as he moved, murmuring something to Parnym, who nodded and simply held his staff loosely as the two men...

Leonidas stood in the chamber of arches in a daze.
His gaze was unfocused, staring at his shaking hands in silent contemplation of what he had seen, what he had experienced, what he had felt.
The first trial had been b...

Leonidas met them with the force of an avalanche.
His blade slammed into Aylar’s with bone-shaking force, and the Swordmaiden gritted her teeth against the impact's power as she bore its brunt, sliding backward along the cracked ma...

Aylar stirred when she felt arms around her.
Her gaze moved from where it had been locked to the floor, blurred by tears and the pain of her own heart, and settled on manicured nails and sun-kissed fair skin. A slow lift of her head ...

Aylar pulled herself to her feet with difficulty, her mind still echoing with the memories of the first arch. A child, a betrayal, a dark future for Dawnhaven, leading it toward the path to ruin—because of her. Because she had been too w...

Aylar opened her eyes where she sat upon her throne, feeling the weight of her crown upon her hair, and the touch of silk on her flesh. To her right stood her husband Leonidas, adorned in the black armor he’d made famous, his helmet latc...

Three hours later, the party was prepared.
Leonidas stepped into the cave mouth alongside Synthra, Aylar, Parnym, and Bardulf and peered around, eyeing the forbidding entrance to the dungeon with a look of mild consternation. He hadn...

Leonidas was still sore.

Leonidas watched as Valerian Cade’s expression danced through an apoplectic combination of shock, confusion, disbelief, outrage, and finally settled onto derision. He clearly didn’t think the challenge held weight, which was shockingly i...

Arcturus stepped out of the changing room with a mildly awkward gait, feeling more self-conscious than ever. When Maurice had come to him with the clothes—carefully wrapped in veiling silk—and told him to wear them without first showing Tylariel, Sumeko, or Jess, he’d become dubious to say ...
