Condensation Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 "For Wyrn's daughter, the daughter that he wants so much he went to the lengths that he did?

All of the mirth melts away in an instant. "False pride will be your undoing." I call to myself the warmth that surrounds my two antagonists. In an instant the stones beneath their feet freeze and shatter in an explosion of stone. "That was no more than a taste of what I could do. You wish our help you may have it.

Condensation Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Quote Oh, poor Nath got roasted. Daolan shuddered as the torment lessened. He hadn't seen much through the haze of pain, but it seemed they had come to an agreement. He could only hope it was a good one. "Now I'm curious. Did Wyrn know about this?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
