Irwin leaned forward, eyes glistening as he saw the soulforce Flowrishin was forming ripple as it resonated like a thick cloud. A resonance not unlike those he created for cardseeds, yet at the sam...
2025-11-29 19:04:44 +0000 UTC View Post"So… I guess she isn't coming," Hilbarin grunted.
Irwin didn't react, already sensing both Salezina and Vaidara moving through the city towards them. He didn't tell the Oxarite, the only on...
2025-11-28 18:12:02 +0000 UTC View Post"It's amazing," Irwin said as he walked back onto the deck of the sleek warship. He put a hand against the side of the main cabin that, like nearly all bigger ships he'd been on, covered the entire...

2025-11-09 18:50:41 +0000 UTC View Post"Finally."

2025-11-07 16:47:35 +0000 UTC View PostIrwin focused on the tiny bit of soulforce in his hand, compressing it together like Umbral had done. It felt faint, as if he barely had anything to squeeze on. If he had to compare it to anything,...
2025-11-02 18:08:33 +0000 UTC View PostIrwin quietly listened to Daubutim ask questions in an almost as emotionless tone as Umbral was answering. They were concise, sharp, and dealt with things that had happened since the Shaidin arrive...

What… was that? he thought, as his mind took a moment to fully wake. 2025-10-26 18:45:15 +0000 UTC View Post
