Chapter 1 – Escape The gentle sound of hammering raindrops lurches me out of my sleep. My clothes are soaked through, and I’m shivering. I slowly get up, the spiky leaves, sticks, pebbles, bugs and other annoying naturey things sticking to my damp skin and getting inside my pants and…
[Ruins of Stjarnagaaard/Afer Starfall] Rubble clattered over the ground. Smoke hung in the air suffocating anyone unfortunate enough to breathe it in. Buildings lay in ruins, the only remnants of the floating city left. Small fires still flickered from the lack of moisture. In the middle of the wreckage stood…
A giant sunfish floats in front of me. I had always heard the captain talking of the creatures but never had I witnessed one up close. Stupid Stjarnajard I heard him mumble one day, I wandered off as he and his acquaintance started to argue. I would not do that…
Land Ahoy, Dungun Prison Part Three Land Ahoy! Lion pulled himself onto the damp shore of Ahoy and stood up. He took off his top and drained it out on the sand. He casually walked down to the shore and looked out. The silhouette of Dungun prison was there, with…

I stumble around mindlessly. These Afeard Wilds are driving me crazy. I bump into something. I frown. I look up and I see a mouth. A mouth lined with fangs. “Ahh!” I scream and stumble back. A stooped hooded figure stands before me. “A story,” she says in a raspy…
Shifting the knob, I finally hit the right station, the log of Captain Barnabas. There was a loud rush of noise, sounds of waves crashing and birds cawing. Then I heard a roar, and screaming. The roar was monstrous and it sounded strangely familiar. The beast of the dark, the…
I freeze. I heard the growl this time. I’m sure of it. Another low hiss in the distance. And the disgustingly strong scent of something I can’t quite put my finger on. It reeks of herbal tea, but that can’t possibly be right. I march around the trees in a…
