A storm of darkness brews just beyond the horizon. Churning and toiling with evil intent. How often have you felt that bitter cold chill of despair? How many times has it taken your heart and frozen it solid, away from the world? Alone in your own misery. Unfeeling. Unrelenting emptiness.Av Blaise Lacktis

I can't accept this. We've found no reason that so many lives were lost in this place. We scraped by yet another fight that could have expired Gwen.. It could have taken us all. So why here? There can't just be nothing. There has to be more than a cruel joke or is this really just a cave many swords were sent to as a means of execution. -This show …

Down in the dark, dank cave of Lonely Hill lives the Mother of Spores. She knows your thoughts. She hears your dreams. "There must be no more She."Av Blaise Lacktis

The Swords find themselves in this abandoned waystation. Filled with Mushroom Creatures and an air filled with thought-broadcasting spores. If whatever monsters await the Swords down below don't kill them, they might just be at each other's throat soon enough.Av Blaise Lacktis

With visions swirling through the mind of Gwen, our Swords must carry on. What were these visions? What was this dream?Av Blaise Lacktis

It's strange how easy it is to find even more reasons to keep fighting when it would just be so easy to be let to exist. To not spend so much time and energy on "fixing" this world. But I see my friends, and I want the world to be a bit brighter for them.. and I see these goblins.. they deserve to be able to thrive.. I'm getting oh so very tired af…

Our Swords go Shopping.. or.. Stealing? You decide!Av Blaise Lacktis

The fragility of life is something I think we try to forget. At least I know I do.. If I remembered how easy all of this can be taken away, would I fight? Would I be able to protect those dear to me? No.. No that can't be it.. We must remember. We must fight. Because we may not have tomorrow. I will fight for the weak, I will fight for love, and I …

There are memories that can feel so real.. You question your own sanity.. Thoughts that plague your mind so intensely that you believe the lies your eyes and ears tell you in the pale moonlight.
