Sam sighed, setting the note down on the table. She knew the day would come, but she wasn’t sure she was ready. She stood, intending to slip on her boots and go find Aleyah. But when she turned back to grab the note, it was already in Phoe’s hands. “Phoe…” The girl didn’t respond. She simply tossed ...

The rest of the journey was uneventful, with Sam hiding in her little cabin as much as possible. Idly, she wondered how she had enjoyed solitude so much before Phoe. At one point, her favorite place had been the most secluded corner of a library. Alone with the silence and her books, nothing else ma...

She never travelled well, and it was worse when her mind and heart were troubled. She could not see the sky to tell the time, but the rest of the ship had quieted ages ago. A lone set of footsteps had wandered the corridor for some time after, she had assumed a member of the crew keeping watch. The ...

((At this point, I will leave the story sit for a bit while I sort out the ending. If anyone would like to join in before I send her off, I welcome it.)) She’d arrived late at night, possibly even early morning. The shadows cast over the gate of Galmair as she walked in had made the city seem even m...

*In the quiet of the inn, a tired looking woman writes a pair of letters.* *a young boy nibbles on cake, grinning widely as he rushes to Amelia with a letter.* Dear Miss Amelia, I am sorry that our first meeting was so filled with chaos and frustration. I truly do try to make a better impression mos...

“Why are you going?” Her mother asked, her lips pursed with worry. “If he has the target of Gray on his back, and he comes here, who might follow him? That is why I’m having Aleyah take you three somewhere safer until I return.” Sam held up a hand, shaking her head. “I do worry he’ll get himself kil...

((This is intended to be a closed RP. A farewell of sorts to a char I have loved for years, and want to give a proper final chapter to. Not saying there will never be a epilogue, but for now, her story appears to have reached its end. Thank you for indulging my fantasy that anyone but me cares about...

S'rrt, Krukk, Ranwyln, and Silvenia. Thank you for all the fun with Sam and Phoe!!!

My little sheep had a good time surrounded by the wolves in Cadomyr tonight. She's definitely going to regret ever setting foot in the sand, but it was good fun!

Sam hasn't been seen outside the inn for a day or two, though Phoe is seen quite frequently, dragging her exhausted nanny around town. If asked, Phoe will say her mama is sick, and she's searching for a dragon to cure her... or a druid. Either will do. (( Work/commute schedule is pretty rough this w...

S'rrt was a pleasant surprise tonight! Glad Sam stumbled upon him, it has been a while.

I am very happy that my night of gathering fruits was derailed. I had a much better time with everyone in Gal! Ievos, Amira, Cedric, and of course Leon! Kept me up 3 hours past bed time, but it was well worth it. And thanks for being patient through my connection issues

Everyone in the Guard House/Kitchen tonight.... There was so much conversation it was hard to keep up!!! I had fun

Thanks to Artimer for making me feel like I'd been out of the game for only a day or two... Just a normal day in Galmair. Now to resist the urge to hide again....

Had fun with Raina, while Phoe made messes in the lobby at the inn.

A note is pinned below the others: Mister AZURE WOLFSWORD LYNCH and I got into an argument over his stupidity, dishonesty, cowardice, and general propensity for being a large ass. He pulled an axe on me with our one year old daughter in my arms... HUGE thank you to Mister Bernie Bottoms, who witnes...

Sam met a few new faces today. Anton, Ss'arney and Kraex. Had a ton of fun watching Kraex entertain the toddler, while Ss'arney educated Banduk on landling slang lol

They met the storm about half a day out from Galmair. Somehow, it seemed fitting that they should be welcomed home by lightning and waves trying to toss their ship about as if it were a toy. Sam stood on the deck with Phoe, both enraptured by the gathering clouds and flashes of light behind them. A...

Sam looked down at the sniffling child in her arms, kissing the top of her head softly as the dock faded out of sight. Clutched in the girl's tiny hands was the doll Thomas had given her as a farewell present, and she murmured softly to it about Nana and Papa. Phoe had thoroughly enjoyed the trip t...

"What if he really is being controlled?" Sam's mother passed the note to her father with a worried gaze. Her father passed it along to Thomas with barely a glance, confirming her suspicion that he'd lifted the seal before bringing it to her. Thomas read the letter, his dark brows raising t...

Bob... she scowled at the letter for a moment, then sighed, tossing it aside. He'd known what he was doing when he went to the psychopath. He got exactly what he wanted most likely. Why else would he endanger himself and his family by going to the one man he always warned her was too dangerous to m...

Sam sits in her childhood bedroom, looking around as the sun sets, casting shadows over the walls that were once her safe haven. Her daughter's laughter floats up the stairs, mingled with her parents' voices. The sound making the task at hand even more difficult. With a sigh she turns back to the p...

Sam dismisses anyone expressing concern. "He's been doing this for weeks now. Apparently no one told him you're supposed to get cold feet about family and acting like a responsible adult before the wedding." with a smile that doesn't quite reach her eyes, she continues. "He can prete...

Working from home on the weekends to offset the 12+ extra hours I'm working at the second job, and therefore need to make up at the full time job for a couple weeks. When I do have the time, I don't have the energy to get IG. Things might calm down next month.

Sam and her daughter Phoenix have not been seen for a week, or was it two? Anyone who inquires at the gate of Cadomyr will get a quick nod from Horatio. Seems Mrs. Lynch's mother is feeling ill, and she thinks a visit from her granddaughter might lift her spirits. Horatio is quick to add that Mr. Ly...

Researching well into the night, Sam chooses a spell that she thinks will be the most effective. "I won't dare attempt anything during Mas, though... my control of mana was shaky when it flowed freely. Trying something during the days of blood would surely lead to disaster." She makes a p...

Sam chuckles, watching the pair. "Granny will kill you! Coming home with two little girls who will likely be wearing more berries than they picked..." She sets about tidying up the room, not sitting still for long. After a few glances at the bandaged arm, she taps her chin thoughtfully. &...

Sam shakes her head, clicking her tongue as she listens. "Well at least he's put his true rear on display." She moves around the room, running down to the depot once, before moving to the side of the bed. Waving away any protests Evie might have, and shamelessly using Phoenix as a bargaini...

Grumbling about being alone, Sam can be seen pacing the wall above the gate in Cadomyr. After a few hours, she grabs her daughter and a portal book, heading to the market for an open space. Anyone who sees her opening the book can hear her soothing the crying child. "Maybe Aunt Evie will let y...
