It READ MORE

Wayfarer’s Guild – Chp. 21 – Trapped
Nova was able to convince Mathius to give her something to eat while he made dinner. She chewed on the bread thoughtfully as Mathius cooked. It looked like he was making some sort of lentil soup.

There was movement, voices going in and out. Pain. She thought the pain would be stronger but it was going dull, replaced with an ever-growing coldness.

Sometimes part of the building would READ MORE
Wayfarer’s Guild – Chp. 16 – Snag
A wave of anticipation went through Nova at the thought that the first part of her quest was about to be completed.

When Nova stepped out of the room, she found Mathius pacing. His face was scrunched into a scowl. It seemed like he wasn’t as okay with the situation as he let on. She wasn’t too surprised. When he noticed her he said something to her. When she just looked at him blankly, he sighed and READ MORE
Wayfarer’s Guild – Chp. 14 – Miscommunication
When Nova woke up, she felt off. She couldn’t quite explain it but she felt weaker and her mind groggier. Rubbing her forehead, she sat up and looked around. Nothing was out of place. She looked down at herself and she looked the same. “Shower,” she said. Maybe she just needed something to wake her READ MORE
Wayfarer’s Guild – Chp. 13 – The Guard
“Briney!” Nova shouted and took a step forward. The kraken scrunched up and scrambled up the guard’s arm, pressing into the nook where her shoulder and neck met.
