Her eyes burned at the touch of the cool water, but she forced them to stay open. Around her, she found the shapes of the others, slowly falling alongside her down into the deep darkness beneath.

Sej’s warning cut through their cautious, but bubbling excitement like a slap.

The ring tosser inhaled sharply and threw his eyes open as wide as he could.
“Maybe you should stand after all?” Gad asked him.
Jul smiled down at him as the morsvar offered him a hand.
“Yeah. That’s probably the best,” Tuk said, taking her hand as he ...
2025-08-11 10:31:13 +0000 UTC View PostThe hot, stifling night air was a vice around Nar’s throat, and the jungle echoed with the increasing screeches of the pucks that chased them.

It was red, and suffocatingly hot and humid. And something thumbed hard from somewhere, sending shockwaves of agony across his existence, nearly threatening to bring him under again.

Meanwhile,...
