Melina chuckled nervously. Alistair looked less than pleased as he looked at the carnage going on in the kitchen. He had witnessed Melina grinding her skills in the past, so he was well aware what it entailed and how taxing it could be.

Melina never thought that she would be relieved not to see Alistair first thing in the morning. Master Gilbert was eyeing her suspiciously the whole morning. He didn't know what grinding was or how it worked, but the look in his eyes told Melina t...

You idiot! Get out of here!
But Liora wasn't about to leave without her prize. She searched frantically among the papers scattered on the floor for the pass. There was an audible sound of running footsteps in the hallway.

Alistair felt nervous. His patrol was over this late evening, and he should feel relieved. But increased monster activity after the festival, as well as the drow assassin, made him a bit jumpy. Even if logically everything was still well within th...

"Sister, please calm down!" Kalen called in a vain attempt to calm Serena.
"She's gone! Oh, no! What if a monster got her? You should have watched her more closely, Kalen!" Serena wailed.

Unfortunately for Liora, as the night took hold, the three adventurers headed to sleep. Two of them did, at least. The boy, Kalen, remained awake to keep watch for any monsters. Liora had no choice but to pretend to be sleeping too, even though sh...

"Good day, Lord Sinclair," Melina said, getting up from her seat. She hurriedly hid Sienna from Alistair's brother's sight. The wyrm got the hint, crawling underneath her dress, while Melina performed a curtsy as a greeting.
