An End to a new Beginning

[13:10:55] Crow (melchior.wardell) returned to Avarra without announcement, as was his habit. There was no entourage, no banner, no reason given for his arrival. This time, however, he was not alone. The massive sleen moved with him, keeping to his pace with the quiet, unsettling confidence of a creature that knew exactly what it was…

[12:27:15] Crow (melchior.wardell) went about his business, content to move towards the city. Then he saw her. The physician. Alone. He regarded her for a moment before approaching, his expression settling into that familiar mixture of calm and faint amusement. “Well.” A pause. “Thinking of leaving?” His eyes briefly swept the street before returning to…

[06:00:17] Crow (melchior.wardell)’s rounds through Avarra had become almost habitual by now. He moved without hurry, his attention drifting naturally across the streets, faces, doors and the small details most people passed without a second glance. He slowed near Eva’s Perfume establishment. Something was wrong. His eyes settled first on the middle doorway or what…

Predators Know Predators [06:30:50] Crow (melchior.wardell) slowed as the sight ahead caught his attention. A tarn stood where it perhaps should not have been, restless and agitated, its wings shifting with sharp, defensive movements. Something lay beneath and around it forms that, from this distance, looked disturbingly like bodies. Crow did not immediately approach. He…

[10:44:34] Crow (melchior.wardell) continued along his way, his attention moving naturally across the street until a familiar face caught his eye. He slowed, recognizing the woman from their previous meeting in Var Kor, or what was now known as Valaris. He inclined his head respectfully. “Greetings, Sir and Lady Neeve.” His gaze lingered for a…

Crow did not arrive in Avarra with banners. He brought no proclamation from the Black Caste, no demand for land, and no announcement that an Assassin had taken interest in the city. He simply found a place where men were willing to lose money. A gambling den. It was not the grandest establishment in Avarra,…

[23:33:17] αяѕυѕ (daimos.baarer): Arsus sits alone by the campfire, listening to the quiet crackle of the burning wood. The camp is still empty; no other Assassin has returned yet. After a while, he rises from his place and makes his way toward his tent. Inside, he retrieves the last of the beans he had brought…
-
[04:14:26] Crow (melchior.wardell) was doing his round. Just to check up on things as he did once in a while. Perhaps in idle hope to find his tharlarion. It was quiet and he enjoyed that moment of not running into those that needed him for some reason. As he passed the back of the Inn…

[04:05:17] Osric Mahalah (salagudin): Osric smiled toward Kaci, understanding more than most what a dark past could teach a man – “Those of us who’ve walked darker roads can sometimes serve the light better fer knowing exactly what waits beyond it, Kaci. One thing in me has never changed – loyalty tae those I pledge…

[06:08] “46” chewed her lip “There is an inn, Master…but I don’t know where it is yet. I’m still getting used to the city. I was exploring when I came in here and found you, Master.” [06:10] Crow (melchior.wardell) stepped into the tavern. His keen eyes would drift from one to the other. He held…
