A young woman, perhaps in her sixteenth year but surely no older, sits at the Trollsbane dock, her feet dangling over the edge, long black hair blowing gently in the breeze, wide gray eyes fixed across the ocean. Her name was Rhiannon, and though many on the isle had known her as a child, perhaps n...

I liked Alister's roleplay. He is so cute, and very well-played

After three days of tension at the house, Gordwayn's parents undoubtedly considering how best to send her away, Rhiannon takes the copper she has saved up and heads to the docks once more.

She boards the ship for Gobaith.

A visit. That's all. Just to see what's left.

Rhiannon sat on the dock until the sun sat heavy on the horizon, washing the landscape gold and red. Finally, slowly, the girl rose and made her way back to the house. She slipped quietly through the front door. She was greeted with an awkward, complete silence that told her they had been speaking a...

Far across the sea, in Salkamaeria a young woman sits at the edge of a dock. Her hair is long and black, blowing gently around her face in the warm breeze. Her face is small and pale, and looks young - certainly no older than sixteen. Her eyes, wide and gray, seem to reflect a slight blue tint from ...

Rhiannon sat at the edge of the docks, the warm breeze playing gently with the strands of her loose black hair. Her feet dangled in the sparkling water, below the hem of her loose, white skirt. As the warm wind caressed her skin and gently tangled her hair, her gray eyes were fixed on a piece of pap...

At the edge of the riverbank, a young woman sits. She is wearing a long white dress, with a pretty, flowing skirt, and loose, long sleeves. Her feet dangle just barely in the river, and her long, loose black hair falls around her shoulders and down her back. From a distance, she seems at peace. Clos...

He said he was leading me to my father, and when he had me alone in the mountains he attempted to drive his sword into my chest. I do believe that constitutes attempted murder, even on Gobaith. I owe my life to Alexander Hattingen, who came along and stopped him. Please don't post on topics you know...

I'm sorry, I must write something here. "Helped save Rhiannon from Dravish"? If by "helped save" you mean, "attempted to kill", then yes, I suppose you did. Whatever else he's claiming, I can't attest to, but he is definitely lying about saving me. He tried to kill me. ...

Rhiannon spoke first with Lance, and then with Gordwayn, asking essentially the same question of both: How do you know when you're in love? Both had given very different answers. And she had told them both, that she couldn't know what what was true in her own heart until she had begun to deal with t...

Rhiannon waits for Gordwayn's answer, but after awhile she gives up.

((Had to free the char to go IG ))

Rhiannon bites her lip again and takes a deep breath, and then she says very quietly "I want to... to talk to you.." She waits a minute, and then asks in a whisper, "If you are only supposed to kiss your true love.. I mean.. why did you... the first day you met me... you.. saw me as.....

A conflict plays itself out on Rhiannon's face, and finally, she makes her way to the door, pushing her hair back behind her ears. "Gordwayn... wait!" She meets him in the middle of the hall. "I.. you're not.. 'interrupting' anything, I just... was talking to my friend." Rhiannon...

Rhiannon swallows, and bites her lip again a moment before calling, "Come in, Gordwayn." After all, there was only one person left it could be... She faces him then, one hand still lowered towards her baby brother. Her hair partially covers her face, and her cheeks are tear-stained, her gr...

Rhiannon's frame stiffens and melts into the hug at the same time, and her eyes show her inner conflict. She forcibly retracts herself from the hug again, and she brushes tears away from her eyes again. "I can't, though. I mean, I just.. it's just.. we are just..." It's clear she's about t...

Rhiannon 's jaw trembles and her eyes remain locked onto Lance's. "I don't know," she whispers, "I just don't know." Another tear escapes her eyes and falls down her pale cheek, and she can only look at Lance hopelessly. "It always seems so easy to call you my friend, until ...

Rhiannon's eyes are overbright with tears, both shed and unshed, and in them swim so many feelings, so many thoughts.. it might be almost impossible to untangle them.. but he can probably distinguish a lot of sadness, and might begin to see that her sadness extends far beyond the surface of her curr...

Rhiannon still makes sure her hair is carefully hiding her eyes. "N.. no... On both counts," is all she says, and her shoulders shake still more. She is quiet for a few minutes, and then she leans down to Caden again, stroking the child's cheek softly. She rises again after a few minutes a...

Rhiannon turns her head slightly, but a lock of hair falls from behind her ears and covers her face from the side so her expression still can't be seen. "I just... wonder sometimes if I'm making the right decisions..." She takes a sighing little breath and bites her lip, though he probably...

Rhiannon looks down at her baby brother, his form blurred through her tears. She says something so quietly, that it is obvious Lance is not intended to hear it. "Why do I feel like this? It makes everything so much harder..." Louder, she says, "I just wish things could be simple."

Rhiannon struggles with something in her mind, and for the slightest fraction of a second she lets herself be comforted by Lance, but with an apparent show of willpower, she pushes his arms off and slides out from his embrace to stand up on the floor. "I.. you're... a boy," she says helple...

Rhiannon looks at him a moment. "When I was really little, I had a wonderful mother and an older brother that adored me. After that, my mother died, but at least I had my brother, and he protected me from my father... But Anither left, too. I was alone for so long, and I.. I couldn't even recou...

Rhiannon ponders this for a moment, her gray eyes growing slightly dark. Then she looks up and says something very quietly. "If it had been the other way around, and he had kissed someone else, I think I would have broken up with him." She lowers her face again, and doesn't raise it until ...

Rhiannon shakes her head a little. "No... no, it's not.. not like that. I really, really liked Gordwayn. That's why I wanted to kiss him. But.. I did a really, really bad thing when I... uhm..." she stops and her cheeks turn pink and she shakes her head and then continues "And.. I.. d...

Rhiannon looks at him and takes a deep breath. "I... I think I made Gordwayn mad at me... and I know I hurt his feelings. I feel so terrible.. I don't know how to make it better..." She takes a breath and explains, "You know.. that I wasn't ever really told much about.. about, uhm, lo...

Rhiannon immediately looks to the floor. "Fine," she answers a little too quickly, and a little too firmly, maybe indicating that things aren't fine, or maybe just knowing why Lance wants to know. "Everything's.. just.. fine," she says again, and clenches her hands together in he...

Rhiannon 's gray eyes reflect a good deal of worry, and are a little bit red around the edges. her cheeks are a little shiny too, like tears ran down them recently. "Oh.. I'm fine," she says, despite outward appearances, "Uhm... and Caden's fine, too. Mairead and I took him for a walk...

Rhiannon stops writing in her diary and muttering to Caden, and looks up towards the door. "Uhm... come in.." she says quietly, slipping the book back under her pillow. She slides over to the foot of the bed and sits there, knowing the knocker is one of two people, and unsure which one she...

The previous page is torn out. I'm so stupid. Sometimes I just don't know what to do and when I try to figure it out everything just goes hopelessly wrong. I wish my mother was here. I wish I had someone... It's useless though, it's useless to wish for things that you just obviously aren't meant to...
