After every great burn, I die. I die and I die. But before I burn away forever, I shall remember these strange yet tender moments. These rare feelings. The camaraderie I have never experienced before. The Sandfury was the first. She helped me to change my mind, and helped me to realize that my judgments […]

A page is torn from the book, the ink still fresh from a few hours prior: Dzivah has been writing in her sleep, remarkably legibly, and is anxious upon waking to find these words. She tucks the page into a binding on her staff with the purpose of burning it later. Why? Why do you […]

Feather and claw.

Once more Drek’tal takes me to hunt. He feels his duty now is to impart wisdom on me. “Dzivah shall require no new mate in the event of my death. She will be self-sufficient” he remarks to the Tribal Mother. Ah, they’re both quite ignorant when they speak of what I can and cannot do. […]
Learning to fly.

The tribe’s stay in Stonetalon has had me uneasy. A thorn in my side begins to ache once more. I push aside my fears and struggle along, but the pain can be crippling if you do not address the problem… I’m a coward. I don’t even dare to write about it. So I will not. […]

Exposure.

That darn fool Ohiska! I thought it would be relatively easy work with few complications; Go in, acquire a few objects with fairly little effort, and then collect on my reward. Such is the price I pay for trusting people at their word! It was at the ruins where we spied him: the former Jin […]

Murderous visions.
October 16th, 2011 · No Comments · Uncategorized
I don’t sleep. That’s what I tell people and that’s what I believe. I close my eyes and several hours later, I open them. My mind never truly finds rest in between that time. This is happening repeatedly. Open. Close. Open. Close. I can see you! You’re just hiding. And then, suddenly, blackness! Glorious! Followed […]
On the run.

“Get your shit, and your bear. We are leaving.” I didn’t protest, as much as I despise him ordering me around. This is my fault. Drek’tal is acting in my best interest, even if he is taking the opportunity to make me feel like dirt for my transgressions. So we rode out of Durotar, under the auspices of a […]

Surrender.
October 10th, 2011 · No Comments · The Tribe
It wasn’t long before my big mouth and my even bigger flame got me into trouble. The eyeless former Jin approached the tribal mother and I as we sat by the only cool patch of water in the entirety of Durotar. The heat must have been insidious that day. I don’t recall. No amount of […]

With this fire in my head.

I let him cage me in the confines of a tribe. The effect upon my mood is horrendous. The women are accessories here, the men are too obnoxious. The day I arrived here, I was ready to leave. Within twenty minutes of minding my own business, a male singled me out to be prey. What […]
