The dragon lashed out, tail whipping over Andraste’s head as she threw herself onto the dirt below the crest.

She laughed, red dripping from her chin as she ran her fingers down her porcelain face. The dying screams at her feet made her shift in a sudden rush of emotions, like some morbid high that made her all tingly inside. She looked down, blindfold loosely slipping from her face, as in the heat of [...]

Sightless eyes bore down into golden orbs of youth. She held her brother in a glare so intense it was if he could feel metal clawing at his body, pulling him in closer. Her red lips slowly formed the words, that phrase so simple that always rooted him. “Stay with me.” Though anger washed out [...]
