Kanes stopped the women by the boutique entrance. “Listen,” he said softly. “Thalixen told me about Tahlmus. I think it’s better, for now, if this King thinks Coral married me and that we don’t really know or care for Tahlmus.” Ardeszeld and Lillianna looked at him; their eyes were full of questions. “Otherwise he might … Continue reading The Next Generation: Pt. 13

After one magic potion and a couple hours later, Mystic was taking Atargatis and Kynes home. They approached the house to find Royal Guards waiting at their door.

The little messenger paused at the door. There were consequences to interrupting the Mayor’s Magical Aid. He liked his privacy, especially when studying or working on magical objects. The doctor had been insistent though. Taking a deep breath the boy burst through the door. Several heads turned to look at him, but he only cared … Continue reading The Next Generation: Pt. 11

Tahlmus stirred as he heard the sound of a key in the cell lock. He tried to open his eyes, but whatever spell Bahamut had used on him was still wearing off.

Tahlmus was not proud of how he had ended up begging for the scraps of food Felazair and the female elf left on their plates. “It’s just going to go to waste,” he said. “They’ll throw it out. Please,” he had whispered. “I haven’t eaten in several days.” That had done the trick. The female … Continue reading The Next Generation: Pt. 9

Coral tried to fall asleep, but she was worried about Tahlmus. Urytemil had been more cheerful than normal as he had spoken about the palace and how they were to take up residence there. Thalixen however had been quiet. Coral saw the smile she wore, but when she looked into Thalixen’s eyes, she had seen … Continue reading Then Next Generation: Pt. 8

Urytemil sat with the King, eating and drinking. They were celebrating the friendship they now had, since Tahlmus had been turned over.

When … Continue reading The Next Generation: Pt. 7

Tahlmus followed Urytemil and Thalixen into town. He stayed quiet as Urytemil spoke to several vendors along the way. He was nervous. Something was going to happen, Tahlmus knew that.

Ardeszeld walked over to where Urytemil and Thalixen stayed. She had so many questions. Nothing that she had found out so far made sense. Both her parents were just waking up as she approached. Ardeszeld waited until her father recognized her presence before she spoke. “Mom, dad,” she started. “What’s going on? Why are you … Continue reading The Next Generation: Pt. 5
