2021-10-29 19:48:43 +0000 UTC View PostSigmir and Ylva, joined together in their Avatar-state, were an awe-inspiring sight. Their overall size wasn’t that different from Sigmir’s normal, hulking form but instead of the face I adored...
2021-10-29 16:01:03 +0000 UTC View PostCrashing into the forest was a little unpleasant, our speed not lending itself to caution or avoidance. Instead, Adra and Sigmir simply barreled through, branches breaking and leaves scattering in ...
2021-10-27 16:01:04 +0000 UTC View PostAfter spending a peaceful night under the stars, all of us were quite a bit more upbeat than we had been underground. Living underground might be suitable for some beings, but none of us was one of...
2021-10-25 16:00:09 +0000 UTC View Post“Galatea, do you think there is a way to incorporate a popcorn-dispenser into my mask?” I asked, watching the chaos unfold after I had finished my remarks, with the presentation playing in the ...
2021-10-22 19:39:58 +0000 UTC View PostAfter killing the Manticore, things went downhill, fast. Mostly because we travelled for the rest of the day without really caring for the exact direction we were moving in, simply following the ri...

2021-10-22 15:39:16 +0000 UTC View PostIt was easy to recognise the moment in which my curse settled within the Blood of the Manticore. Where before, its movements had been sharp, putting tremendous pressure on Sigmir, to the point that...
2021-10-20 16:01:03 +0000 UTC View Post“Finally.” I let out a soft sigh, even as a part of me wanted to pour out expletive after expletive. I had never thought that the burning light of the sun would ever be so welcome to me, For th...

2021-10-17 19:56:12 +0000 UTC View PostTravelling along the underground river was both a lot easier compared to travelling through the narrow tunnels we had travelled in the days before but it came with its own challenges. Just the cold...
2021-10-15 15:59:18 +0000 UTC View Post“Kill the lights!” I hissed, dropping down to the others, trying to land as softly as possibly. I didn’t quite succeed, but given the distances involved, I was reasonably certain the rat-spid...
2021-10-13 16:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostI did spend some more time exploring the area around the underground river, before pulling my tendrils back and exploring the other direction. There, it was more of the same, narrow tunnels that co...

2021-10-11 12:29:14 +0000 UTC View PostTraversing the caverns beneath the White Mountains was a lot less fun than I had thought. Sure, we didn’t have to worry about Manticores swooping down on us from the sky to tear us to pieces, ins...
2021-10-08 16:01:03 +0000 UTC View PostIt took me a while of fiddling around until I managed to get a somewhat useful image from my magical eyes. It wasn’t detailed, or containing colour, more akin to a grainy image taken by a pin-hol...
2021-10-06 15:58:54 +0000 UTC View PostOnce we all were well and truly within the cave, I let myself relax and took in my surroundings. Or rather, I tried to, for once, not even the night vision granted to me by my elven heritage and af...
2021-10-04 16:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostThere was a question, how do you treat a male, whom you have just watched carnally enjoying himself, out in the open, with a female obviously not his wife? A female who, on a casual check on my par...
2021-10-01 19:49:56 +0000 UTC View PostBeneath that small fissure, barely wide enough to allow my body entry, was so much more. After a few meters of that narrow crag, it widened into a proper cave, possibly created by some ancient glac...
2021-10-01 16:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostAfter three days of nightly skulking and hiding in small caves by day, I was about ready to try something stupid. It grated at me, in ways I couldn’t quite explain, to have the open skies denied ...
2021-09-29 16:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostThe less said about the cave Lenore found for us, the better. It barely qualified as a cave, merely a large hole in the cliff, giving us a little shetler, but once we all were inside, it was… coz...

2021-09-25 14:30:56 +0000 UTC View PostIt was interesting how the others instantly looked up, into the sky, the moment they left the cave. It might be a yearning for the open sky, born from being forced to hide in a cave for a couple of...
2021-09-24 16:01:03 +0000 UTC View PostWith the time-sensitive things out of the way, my newly established family retreated into our connection a little. In some ways, it was a weird idea, a family consisting of four females, none of wh...
2021-09-22 16:00:07 +0000 UTC View Post“Certainly.” I agreed, while Sigmir turned to look at Olivia and Rai, who had just entered the cave through the narrowed opening. “We were just talking about it, but I’d be glad to include ...
