5 Searing 4622 He was not sure what the hour was when he awoke. At some point in time, he must have nodded off following the intense session of lovemaking. Opening his eyes, he recognized the calming blanket of nightfall. Clearly their exertions had carried them over into the evening. Perhaps into ...

Taryn felt it in his bones as Taelian gathered his power to him. He watched as the man of elven heritage stepped forward to administer to his instruments. Then with a sudden and forceful yell, Taryn winced. The thundering boom made him flinch away from the noise as it spiraled forth in a rippling w...

Taryn opened himself up the quiet flow of the ether in the world around him. He could feel it swaying and moving like a river of unseen life. He tapped into that river, allowing his ether to manifest as he drew his sword. The ether coalesced into a gas that coated his sword and clung to its line. H...

Taryn’s wings flapped in the warm winds that wrapped around his form. He could make out the figure of Taelian resting in his place beside an object that he had never seen before.

“ I can help with that. ” Those who had worked with him knew Taryn to be a level headed individual when confronted with a challenging situation. He had lost himself only once and that had been…well…it was not something he chose to dwell on. Not at the moment at any rate. Beyond that however, Taryn’...

Taryn tucked away the information that Lord Venger gave to him regarding the structure of the Covenant.
