Battle Hymn of the Republic

Instead of looking up at her eyes, Percival kept his gaze forward as Caoranach approached him, the fear rising in his throat. He was a smaller man, indeed, and felt the difference in height sharpen the edges of her words as she spoke down to him. The smell of a fragrant aroma filled his nostrils, an...

"You haven't changed a bit, but I suppose that is indicative of nature: an implacable being that does not change," waxed Percival sharply, not enjoying the tone in her voice, and her presence even less now. He placed his hand behind his back, narrowing his eyes as he watched her. "Nature would have ...

Percival's hand shuddered, nearly spilling the vial. He licked his lips as the palpable shock washed over him, still not used to being surprised. The shock already set him on poor footing, but the air was made more rancid by the fact that it was Caoranach . The demon that had sank her claws into Rua...

The triclops began to realize a careful pattern of compliments and then stabbing criticisms, or at least that's how she perceived it. The...

Drysi's thrill only rose higher as she watched the rest of the battle unfold. She bounced on her toes as she saw spells and arrows come down in waves; and, like she was watching a football game, she tensed up to the final moment until the cloth was snatched in victory.
