Post: RE: (SE) The Matter at Hand

Brecken hears the woman before he sees her: the even march of her footsteps far too loud to be a predator, though in truth she hardly makes a sound. He cocks an eye back over his shoulder, the amuseme...

Post: RE: pushing ourselves

The expression of interest and mild amusement never leaves his face: a wry twist of the mouth, a curious light in his eyes. If he is humoring Dorian or if he is genuinely curious, Brecken himself can'...

It makes sense now. Were Brecken a creature of premeditation rather than a creature of instinct, he might be angry with himself. Instead, he is merely surprised. It makes <i>sense</i> now....

He is a child again &mdash; or what a child should be &mdash; laughing careless of everything else in the world. Thinking, for the first time in so long, of nothing except the moment and the b...

Post: RE: [se] you're such a heavenly view (open)

There is a moment, easy enough to pinpoint, where a light comes on in the otherwise soft emptiness of the attic of Brecken's mind. One moment, belligerence; the next, a sudden closing off, a narrowing...

From the ice and into the fire: Halo's shimmer lay forgotten behind him as Brecken descended into the Burrows. He no longer required the layers he had worn in the Citadel; one by one his clothes had g...

For an instant, Brecken wanted nothing more than to punch the man-beast in the face. Half his mind was there already, shrugging off his pack and setting aside his weapon, lunging forward and smashing ...

If he found Amaris' cool rationality annoying, Brecken didn't show it. He was accustomed to it, by now &mdash; being told <i>wait</i> and <i>calm down</i>. So he tried, muc...

The best way to achieve the truly impressive was to begin with little victories. For example: getting out of Stormbreak (1), reaching the Citadel (2), maintaining civility while in company of the Cita...

If Brecken hoped for a rebuttal, a challenge, he was sadly disappointed. Instead, the sorry beast twisted and collapsed into something else: a halfway horror, indistinct and chimeric, gazing at him wi...

Time coiled itself around the Citadel in so many pale bands they lost all meaning. Sunrise, sunset wavered back and forth indistinguishable from each other, neither quite occurring. Instead, the light...
