Rory 

“I’m not unfazed. I’m still trying to understand why he offered you a pain killer at all, and why he didn’t off you. Also, why can’t I call you brother if you just did a second ago?”

@ellette-giselle

This was the second time someone had claimed him with that familial title. He was beginning to like it.

Aww <3

Dante

They shook hands, finally formally introduced.  Rory cocked his head to the side. “Brother…?”

Dante looked at him sharply, a bit confused. “Don’t call me that.”

The doctor came in, and treated his wounds. He…[Read more]

The Protector — Gabriel Mai

Gabriel flinched at the loud boom of the piano cover. He cast Lucy a glance, making sure she was okay, before peering inside the piano. “It does have strings.” He hit one of the keys, watching the hammer strike the corresponding string inside the piano, silently fascinated.

Eventually, he dropped his h…[Read more]

Rory

He held out his hand. “Rory. And I couldn’t leave you.” He cocked his head slightly. “Brother…?” This was the second time someone had claimed him with that familial title. He was beginning to like it.

@ellette-giselle

Dante

The hospital was close. Rory helped Dante walk to the bus stop, and then rode with him to the emergency room. Rory seemed tense and wary on the bus, but then, so was Dante. They picked a seat near the door, and kept an eye on the other passengers.

When they arrived, a nurse told them that a doctor was available to treat…[Read more]

Oh cool! I love all of these!!!

MIN!! you have a Tauren too!!!??

So I’m thinking of the rules my school played with as a kid:

1. If someone catches a ball mid-air without fumbling it, the ref sends in one of their teammates who got out.

2. You can dodge or block a ball coming at you with another ball that you’re holding.

3. You start out with all the balls in the middle of the court, and everyone has to rush…[Read more]

Felicity

Shoes squeaked on the gym floor as Marcel’s team spread out. Felicity found a place somewhere in the middle of the gym. She did some arm stretches while eyeing the other team. There were a few people she recognized: Viktor, Lois, and one of the twins. She finished her stretches, and began b…[Read more]

I read it, and I have to say, it immediately captivated me.

Not only does the Prologue promise us a swash-buckling tale of heroics and battles, but I find the prose rather enjoyable. It definitely has that storyteller feel like Uncle Garth in Secondhand Lions (if anyone gets that movie reference). Maybe not exact, but it reminded me of…[Read more]

@koshka @whalekeeper

Thanks <3

@theducktator Ugh headaches are the worst. Stop looking at screens and drink some water. Hope you feel better soon <3

The Protector — Gabriel Mai

When Lucy tried to play the piano, Gabriel relaxed, realizing it was merely an instrument. He pressed a few keys exploratorily, sneezing as the dust traveled under his mask and into his nose. “Is it a magic instrument? Most the ones in my world are ones you have to blow wind through to work, or have s…[Read more]

@whalekeeper
I love how Lucy is wondering why there’s a piano in the room, while I’m over here like “It couldn’t be empty, and just a couch or chair is boring, so piano was the first thing I thought of”. Zero deep meaning just a brain who was trying to rp while listening to a streamer talk about a mech video game.

The Protector — Gabriel Mai

“A piano? This is a piano?”

Gabriel touched it gently, dust flying into the air. He jumped back defensively as an off-tune note rang in the air from the key he pressed.

“Is that normal?” He watched the piano like a curious kitten, not sure if they should attack, ignore, or play with it.

The Protector — Gabriel Mai

Gabriel nodded. “Good.” He stood, the voices that still had been whispering in his head that day were quiet as he had bound up her arms, but now they returned, a constant noise slowly driving him insane.

Gabriel waved one of his glowing blades ahead. The walls were rough like brick, the floor with l…[Read more]

@rae Yesssss hehe

@theducktator I know lol, but that’s not as funny

@loopylin

LOL, take a look

@whalekeeper

Gabriel Mai — The Protector

Gabriel untucked his shirt, cutting along the hem in a long strip, then cut another one. He pulled the vial disinfectant from his pocket. “Hold still.” He took her arm, trying to be gentle, but he knew it would sting. He silently cursed himself for leaving salve in his cottage and not slipping it into h…[Read more]
