She knew where she was. This was the Astral Sea, a vast ocean of consciousness, of power, the essence of life. The scrolls she had been forced to read by the church taught that this was the birthplace of the Gods, and it was here that they cultivated the magic they gave to mortals and beasts alike.

A tattoo sears on Audrey's flesh, along with written instructions (in runic Nylev) describing what she must do. She must work alone and she cannot leave the Reaches of Hydrafell until the task is complete, otherwise she fails. This won't be easy. #art

Agni's not up to date on his memes. Luckily, he doesn't need to be. #art #dragon

She pondered quietly for a moment and closed her eyes once again. She swallowed hard and reached out with her prayers. But not to Reshen… to Arkosh instead. “Watch over Audrey… and may she someday find faith in you.” A small flicker of golden flames appeared in her mind’s eye. #art #writing

Agni's got a brand new sword. It's still a little big for a smol dragon like him. #art #dragon

Cindy watched as the fiery Aurelidon let out a rumbling roar and dove straight down, smashing into the board at E10. The entire board cracked into four pieces and hefted upwards from the sheer force of the blow. In a single move, Audrey had won the game. #art #dragon #writing

"If you two are going to be Witches, you have to look the part!" Cindy shut her eyes and protected her face with her arms as flowers and leaves whipped around her. As such, she didn't notice her Mage's uniform melting off her body, new fabrics rushing to embrace her. #art #writing

A figure splashed to the surface of the pond, whipping a spray of water towards Cindy and her companions. Audrey instinctively flinched, but the droplets of water halted in midair once they reached the edge of the pool. It seemed to hit an invisible wall and trickle back into the pond. #art

One by one, shadows stepped into the clearing around them, a dozen or more figures emerging as if from nowhere, dark cloaks draped around their forms which blended seamlessly from one to the other, encircling them. #art #dragon #writing

Before a spell could even take shape in her mind, something big rocketed past her. Audrey's soul was huge, even when compared to Cindy's own, and was filled with pure, bright red Essence. It was shaped like a dragon, coiled around her protectively. #art #dragon #writing

A battle cry caused Cindy to turn and surge with lightning as she saw a horde of teeming, green creatures leaping from the bushes and from behind trees. They were short and squat, and appeared to be emaciated by the sight of their ribs through their skin. Gobblins. #art #writing

The rabbit struggled and kicked its legs as she lifted it off the ground. It didn’t take long for it to give up as she looked into its pleading eyes. She glared at the adorable creature, her teeth gritted as she failed to find the strength to do what was necessary. #art #writing

The dragon lounged on his side with boredom dominating his muzzle, his tail flicking back and forth lazily, and a few stray beams of sunlight bouncing off his scarlet scales. One of the benefits of being a dragon was that he had no need to set up a camp. #art #dragon #writing

Last picture from "The Nail in the Beast." After Audrey successfully pulls the crystal nail from the Torundur, the illusion of endless, punishing sunshine disappeared and was replaced with the light of the twin moons, Ucion and Stygeon. #art

It will take all of their combined power, working together, to pull out the nail. No, not defeat the Torundur, they'd need another dozen Mages to stand a chance, but rather remove the device controlling the beast. #art #dragon

The ground heaved and upturned as dozens and dozens of pillars and stone hands burst forth, all of them cascading over each other as they reached for Audrey and Cindy. “We’re going over the top,” Cindy said simply as she cracked her neck. “See you on the other side.” #art #writing

While Elek is distracted tasting spices from Audrey's spice tin, Audrey figures out how to get free. She raises her temperature so high and fast that the stone manacles around her wrists start to melt. Just enough that she can break free. #art

The Stone Mage guided the platform towards the fountain in the village square and set it down while his brother rolled Agni to a stop nearby. The dragon was left upside down, his eyes still spinning, clearly struggling not to hurl. -An excerpt from "The Nail in the Beast" #art #dragon #writing

The ambush had been successful. Even though Audrey struck one of her attackers hard enough to make him stumble, she and her companions were stuck within the ground itself, sunk up to their waists or worse with little recourse to get free. #art

The two Mages watched in confusion as Agni dug into the ground like a dog, kicking up huge plumes of dirt and dust as he created a deep hole in the side of the fountain. In a matter of minutes, his paws splashed loudly into liquid. -An excerpt from "The Nail in the Beast" #art #dragon #writing

But she took her eyes off the ground in front of her and as Agni and Cindy came to a sudden stop, Audrey continued forward. Her boot hit a sudden dip in the dirt in front of her and she stumbled, swinging her arms wildly to try and maintain her balance. -An excerpt from "The Nail in the Beast"

Here's a sneak peek of a picture for the next story! Audrey awakes on the hard ground, staring up at the empty sky. The sun glares down at her harder than she's ever experienced before. As a Fire Mage, the heat doesn't bother her that much... usually. Something strange seems to be going on here.

As they passed through the mausoleum, keeping a careful eye out for more demonic presences, Audrey couldn’t help but look at the obelisk. She wasn’t sure if it was another hallucination, or if she was just going crazy... but the obelisk looked to be ever so slightly bigger than before. #writing

It lunged straight for Cindy, but the Lightning Mage didn't react. For a split second, Audrey watched in terror, expecting Cindy to move, to dance out of the way as she always did, but she was rooted in place, not a hint of electricity that would make dodging the creature's swipe trivial. #writing

It wasn't just a mere breeze, and as Audrey turned to look over in the direction of the tower, she saw clouds being split apart and a massive form emerged from the yellowing sea. Something with an enormous pair of wings was flapping its way towards Illdyr. -An excerpt from our novelette #writing

An open archway led into the interior of the building, with scrawling text above the entryway that read mausoleum. And there, sitting at the edge of the platform the building rested upon, was Cindy, her feet kicking absentmindedly over the ledge. -An excerpt from our novelette #art #writing

When it rains, it pours, and Audrey doesn't like getting wet. Luckily for her, Agni's wings are just as waterproof as the rest of him! Cindy is regretting being so hardheaded about rain not being so bad. Not that she'd ever admit to being wrong! #art #dragon

She leaped over the banister and rocketed towards the roof the birds had landed on. She alighted hard, her boots crunching against the crumbling shingles. To her surprise, she saw the white bird dead on the roof, not the red dove she had been aiming at. -An excerpt from our novelette #art #writing
