Manas parried the swordmaster’s attack and deftly knocked the man’s blade from his hand. “Excellent, young lord,” the swordmaster said, clapping him on the shoulder. “You’ll be able to beat Lord Helfreid himself one of these days.” Manas shook his head and wiped the sweat from his face with a cloth handed to him by […]

Nariel’s Station Archives – Multiverse 163 – The Legend of the Wailing Oak

Amberwoods Station – Part 3

Anila leads you down the hall to a door. You hear a few gasps at the Gothic style wooden aperture. “I told you he’s a vampire,” she says. “But this is more for show than anything else. He’s actually a lot older even than the stories of Dracula. I don’t know how old he is, […]
