Scattered Shades: Arcadia Chronicles

I will post tomorrow.

Scattered Shades: Arcadia Chronicles

I'm just waiting for Hatman.

I await the glorious Hatman. May his hat ever shine. (Too bad his picture doesn't have a hat. =( )

A Hero Tale: Oswald

Eatin'. The word stuck out like ivy on an oak tree. Fred may have been eating just about anything to survive here. Certainly didn't look like food was that hard to come by though.

"Alright. I'm very grateful." Oz started moving with Fred. "So, uh. What are these patrons of the woods you mention?"

A Hero Tale: Oswald

"Well. Seems I'm not so normal anymore.." Oswald said with a hint of confusion. "Fred. I'm not worried about this journey through the unmarked forest." He looked him straight in the eyes. "Only thing that has me worried is the madman Zel who's chasing Angelica. This man killed Josh!" Oz let it sink in. Judging from how he felt last night he shouldn't even be able to stand here but he was. He had a mysterious power, no idea what it was or what it did. Oz knew at this point, without error, that he couldn't beat Zel. He tried not to think about it but it was there nonetheless. All he had was the hope he could get stronger during the chase. Time was of the essence.

"Does the forest scare you?" Oz asked.

Is Hatman back to take full control of his arch mage? I was a little bummed when he had to dip out because of real life troubles. I really enjoyed his insanely confident style of character.

Edge of Illuna Forest

The tension after leaving Hyznia was heavy. Rem was aware they could be followed. CMAS coming to quash Sulfrax before he could make good on his plans. An unsatisfied king of mages spying on him, though unlikely. Even random encounters such as the Gaians looking for someone to murder. Rem Vano was quite familiar with this area, yet that did not stifle the growing threats of war and intrigue in the land.

Of the many things that had become curious of late the one that stood out the most was Sulfrax's arm. When Florence, the now safely dead Gaian, cut through the arch mage's attire it revealed the chaotically charged arm he hid beneath bandages. Rem had seen firsthand how powerful Sulfrax was but at what price?

Senna, Rem's faithful companion, prowled close behind him. She was far more wary, her head tilting back and forth at the slightest of disturbances in the forest. Rem finally spoke up. "Master Lauchlin, I want to know something about you." He felt a little guilty having to ask about a personal thing that the master seemed to guard but it was something he had never seen before. Rem above all was a researcher and an explorer, he had to know or his curiosity wouldn't be quenched. "What happened to your body? Your hands? I've never seen anything quite like it. Almost as if you can barely contain your power." The traveler looked inquisitively at Sulfrax, hoping he would get a real answer.

@tex
Of course, will do. So far the only large possibly hostile thing I've hinted at is a myth that Rem talks about.

You okay with me inventing creatures we may pass? No Man's Land wouldn't seem quite so dangerous or deadly without something that actually made it dangerous and deadly populating it. Of course I'd report them before posting anything.

I will also set aside some time after work tomorrow to get a good post out, assuming Hatman doesn't beat me to it.
