The base of the outcropping looked very solid from a distance, and from up close, really, but Shell had him walk right towards it until it almost seemed as if, by magic, the opening appeared. It was completely dark, but she cast Candlelight when they grew nearer. "In there," she said, curling her hand into his tunic and glancing about, ears actually twitching a little as she took in all the sounds, then looking up the rock face. Forcibly reminding herself that Ilmiyon was gone, she simply enjoyed the feel of being held against the large man's large muscles, even if her stomach was doing some weird, interesting things she was worried might act

Asylum: Rescue, Ch. 13: We're Going Where?
Rommy looked around the Museum of Curiosities as he stepped out of the Oblivion portal he'd erected in the living room. Ironic that, considering he'd spent the last bit of his mortality running around closing the things. Instantly the mice he'd spared in the floor started tattling to him that something was off, hoping he'd reward them with more cheese. The Book of Fate was on the floor, the thief that had knocked it down standing stone still over by the box holding a Gorgan's head. Rommy walked over and closed the box before Erandur got it into his head to peek.
"Rommy, why is there a statue of a thief in your living room?" Erandur studied th

“Y’know, they’ve been gone quite a while now. It’s not like she can’t take care of herself, but still.” Mercutio was absently running his hands up and down his thighs in a nervous gesture.
“I know. She’d have at least sent word.” Gideon, much recovered, was idly flipping his hammer, tossing it as easily as most men tossed a coin.
“So where might she be, that she couldn’t send word easily?” Erandur asked, rubbing his brow as the worry levels in the room rose exponentially.
Sam watched this with an amused quirk to his lips, sipping his own home brew that would probably k

The ships swarmed with figures; little ant-like things scurrying up and down the lines and up the masts and all over the sails…rather like Bosmer in trees, now that she watched it. Shell tilted her head, seeing Gideon examining the ships over her shoulder out of the corner of her eye.
"I can just electrify the water around them," she suggested. "Or send it down the masts. My chain lightning's good enough to catch just about everyone on a space the size of one of those docks."
Gideon squinted. "They're not flying Thalmor colors, though. That's interesting." His smile softened as he gazed at her. "Impressive. I begin to think there's noth

Notes:
there will be an image uploaded with the chapter, but I'll be out of pocket for a week for a family trip, and from here out, well, I don't presactly have the right sets for most of these chapters.
So i'll have to get sneaky, or some kind artists will have to help me out *big blinky eyes*

“Don’t move.”
“You really, really, don’t want to do that,” Gideon warned her calmly, freezing where he stood as the sharp prick of the dagger lay cold against his back, right over his kidney. A mental picture of the dead Imperial flashed across his mind, which was certainly not what he needed.
“What, stab you?” the Bosmer asked, voice full of mirth. “Of course not! You’re far too interesting. I will though, if I have to,” her voice darkened.
“I won’t attack you, if that’s what you’re thinking. I would still get you out of here, if I could find whatever

A:HA Ch. 19 But Given Unsought is Better
Well, their guest certainly was small from a Nord's point of view, though she still topped Shell. The Breton awaiting them was a bit on the plump side, with rarely seen oculars and curly hair that wanted to escape the utilitarian braid it had ruthlessly been confined to. She was tapping her toes at the other guard in the room, and Shell suppressed a smile that her curls were so dense they made her braid look like nothing so much as the tail of an angry cat.
"Well, you haven't changed," Shell said with some amusement.
"There you are!" the woman said, giving Shell and admonishing look. "Do you know how difficult it is for me to get time off in

The far end of the pit was all that was lit, the rest in the long shadow of the western edge. Orien was bouncing a ball off the back wall—Shell had brought it for him one night, but she’d told him to never tell anyone that she was that soft—and Tyr was sitting against the wall watching the sky, lost in thought. He’d been doing that often lately. The more often Fey and Shell visited them, the more Gideon spoke

"Where are we going?"
"Nowhere good if you don't shut up," Shell grumbled, wishing Orien was as disciplined as Blossom, then taking it back immediately. She'd have spared Blossom her training, if she could have.
"Where did you learn to climb trees like this? Can I have an orange? How come you weren't wearing your shoes earlier? What's that shiny stuff?"
"Shut up, Orien," Shell sighed, halting for a moment to get her bearings. Her brother was wiggling around in her grasp to see out over the edge of the trees, and his audible inhale made her glance down.
The boy looked absolutely stunned. "That…what is that?"
"That's the ocean. You've hea

Gideon wondered, not for the first time, precisely what the Thalmor were thinking. There was no organization to speak of amongst the soldiers facing them, and he knew, had he half the resources he saw during the flyover, he'd have the prisoners pinned handily despite the two dragons. Faloniril quite literally had a small army of troops here, even without the Young Ones, yet what they were encountering instead were small units, and no two coordinating with each other. It almost made him feel bad.
Almost.
