Fyra and Sword
Author's note: This follows Heart of Steel Lor'kan thrust his blade forward with such speed and precision Naythan barely whipped his blade to dash it to one side. Lor'kan used the momentum to bring his sword around his head in a slash right and left, right, left, right left battering Naythan as he blocked frantically backing up as he did so. He was losing too much ground too fast. Trying to regain the initiative, Naythan caught Lor'kan's last cut, lifted his elbow to angle the point of his blade towards Lor'kan's face and thrust forward, keeping his blade clashed with Lor'kan to protect himself even as he attacked. It worked, Lor'kan's assault pattern was broken and he backed up a step to avoid Naythan's point and gain distance from him, giving Naythan crucial seconds to regain his composure and go on the offensive.

Naniren
Naniren are diminutive and wizened creatures, even those who are young. Their skin is often very pale, almost as in sickness, though exceptions are known to occur in rare and unusual circumstances, most particularly from among those that serve on the surface.

A World in the Making
Before the world was, there were before it mighty spirits, these beings of immense power sailed the cosmos and possessed great power. Stars were formed and destroyed, celestial bodies formed and shattered, light was blazed to life and extinguished. In the first instance of their being, some spirits felt compelled to bring forth life and others to end it, and so it was that for eons these spirits scattered across all that was and the chaotic duel of creation and destruction was wrought across the whole universe.

Heart of Steel
Author's note: This follows Turn of Fate. The echo of Naythan's defiant shout rang through the woods, a deep silence followed as Naythan saw Lor'kan studying him closely, hand gently resting on the pommel of his own blade, not in any aggressive stance, but clearly ready to draw if necessary. It was clear that the Brother, while surprised by Naythan's refusal, felt completely unthreatened by him.

The Turn of Fate
Author's note: This follows Trial by Fyra. Naythan threw himself to the side landing hard on the snow with a grunt. "Oh for god's sake. Not again." he grumbled, before he hastily got to his feet and dashed aside to avoid yet another blast from the sorceress. He ducked beside a tree trunk and peered around it to see Lor'kan still standing behind the sorceress, arms crossed, watching the proceedings with interest.

Predator and Prey (P1)
Authors note: This follows "The Soldier and The Slave" The visit to the surgeon had proceeded without anymore interruptions, Fyra's curiosity about the boy leading her dulled by their small exchange. She had been piqued by his attempt to protect her, which to her knowledge was uncommon among the humans when it came to preventing violence against her people, but his response had been all that she should have expected. He was slightly above average in intelligence for a human, enough to know to protect his own from trouble.
