After leaving Tahlmus’s office, Mystic had decided he wasn’t ready to leave. He spoke with Atargatis at length. She was going to need some time to see where the other teacher was with the class, then work on some planning. Mystic had frowned but he understood. They agreed he would go back home for a … Continue reading Tahlmus and The Sirens: The Next Adventure, The Final Chapter →

Urytemil landed near his cave, hidden deep within the forest. He set Celestial and Fleur down before returning to his human form. He would transport them from there, as landing near the school as a dragon would not have gone over very well. “What’s going on Urytemil?” Celestial asked as he approached them. “Why didn’t … Continue reading Tahlmus and the Sirens: The Next Adventure, Pt 17 →

“How long do you think we’ve been here?” Fleur asked as she wrapped the thin blanket tighter around her shoulders. “A week at least,” Celestial replied as she turned away from the cell door to look at Fleur. “I don’t understand why Mystic hasn’t come to question us.” “Maybe Urytemil was wrong,” Fleur started with … Continue reading Tahlmus and the Sirens: The Next Adventure, Pt. 16 →

Fleur could hear the sound of dripping water as she started to recover some of her senses. A shiver went through her. It took a few seconds for her to realize the cold was coming from a damp cement floor. Groaning she tried to sit up. Her body was very stiff and the muscles ached. … Continue reading Tahlmus and the Sirens: The Next Adventure, Pt. 15 →

Once in his office, Tahlmus used his magic to locate Urytemil. He was surprised at how far from the estate Urytemil was, but he was able to sense that Urytemil was in dragon form. Dragon eyesight was much better than that of elves or humans. “Urytemil,” Tahlmus said through thought. “We need to talk.” A … Continue reading Tahlmus and the Sirens: The Next Adventure, Pt. 14 →

Tahlmus tried to ignore the growing feeling of dread in his stomach, while they all ate breakfast. He poked at the food on his plate unable to eat. All the women were busy talking and discussing how they hoped the day would go. No one seemed to notice anything wrong with Tahlmus.  As everyone finished … Continue reading Tahlmus and the Sirens: The Next Adventure, Pt. 13 →

Tahlmus woke with a start. Celestial was still lying peacefully beside him, and the others were scattered about his room on the mattresses he had provided. They were all sleeping peacefully, except Coral. He could see that her eyes were open watching him.  “Come with me,” he said to her through thought, as he carefully … Continue reading Tahlmus and the Sirens: The Next Adventure, Pt. 12 →

From the time he woke up, until he joined Solas for supper, Mystic worked on a strategy for getting at Tahlmus. He only needed him long enough to drain his power, but the young mage had already proved he’d be difficult to subdue.  He knew the metal that was supposed to suppress draconic magic wouldn’t … Continue reading Tahlmus and the Sirens: The Next Adventure, Pt. 11 →

The week seemed to pass slowly. Celestial, Coral, Fleur, Laguna, and Atargatis all took turns sitting with Tahlmus, just in case Urytemil had been wrong and he woke up sooner. Andrevin sulked in Fleur’s room. Urytemil contradicting him about the prophecy had put him in a bad mood. The baby niflers, however, usually never let … Continue reading Tahlmus and The Sirens: The Next Adventure, Pt. 10 →

Coral found herself running down the hallway searching for Atargatis. She had tried the location spell that Tahlmus always used, to know where they were when he needed them. She hadn’t been able to pinpoint Atargatis’ exact location, but she knew what part of the estate Atargatis was in. She ran faster as she knew … Continue reading Tahlmus and the Sirens: The Next Adventure, Pt. 9 →
