One Charr’s Bauble – Pt. 3

J.M. Keep — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 00:39:55 +0000

She couldn’t remember how long it took her to pass out, thirsty, exhausted, and–above all else–pained. But when she awoke it was with a smack of a palm against her face, “You’ve been sleeping on the job,” that now familiar, hateful voice told her. The only indication of the time having passed was the darkness […]

One Charr’s Bauble – Pt. 2

J.M. Keep — Mon, 31 Dec 2012 02:19:46 +0000

The next few hours were but a blur, though she could remember the brutish Ryzkar lifting her limply retching form up off the ground and flashes of him carrying her back to the camp in the dark of night. She jarred to consciousness inside a large command tent for a brief moment, long enough to […]

Every Beginning is Also an End

J.M. Keep — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 22:04:26 +0000

As the horse-drawn carriage pulled up along the country road, the two misty eyed sylvari within gazed out to the source of the rising smoke trail. Looking simply distraught, the well-dressed male–attired in human clothes, an expensive mix of black, white and red–put an arm around the woman comfortingly. “Steel yourself, Tish. It is not […]

One Charr’s Bauble – Pt. 1

J.M. Keep — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 22:02:30 +0000

Even amongst the beastial charr, his own kind, Ryzkar was a large figure. His large, clawed feet thumped loudly upon the soil as he stalked away from the main camp towards his destination. He’d just seen off the party of secretive Ash cronies he commanded in his warband, having impressed upon them the importance of […]

Honeymoon

J.M. Keep — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 02:08:12 +0000

Andulin struggled to shut the tent door, but the fierce wind and blowing rain pelting her, hampered her efforts. Finally, with some force of strength, she brought the two flaps together and drew them tight, tying them back together more securely this time. The large and tall square tent somehow felt secure again and she […]

Dark Ceremonies

J.M. Keep — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 02:07:39 +0000

Secluded in Darkshire, away from the prying eyes of the Horde, the company of Burning Tusks met in the shadows. Towering over the grove was the statue of some ancient pink skin hero, and a series of benches surrounding the rectangular stone slab in the centre. The stage was already set. Atop the stone slab […]

Bound for the Future

J.M. Keep — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 02:07:38 +0000

The remnants of Draenor, now called Outland, seemed to always be cool, but in front of a fire at the tiny Troll post in Zangarmarsh, Jez and Zij sat warmly in front of the large fire, talking happily. Together on the bench, Jez lay curled up in a ball in Zij’s arms, the two smiling […]

Eye Spy

J.M. Keep — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 02:07:36 +0000

“You know, I’ve been looking at this map for days, and I just can’t seem to find Baywoe Island anywhere on it,” the blue-haired spy of a troll said to Jez, sitting on the boxes outside of the Orgrimmar Auction House. She snarled, low in her chest, “Ja ain’t lookin’ ‘ard enough.” “Well, maybe you […]

Simply Zij

J.M. Keep — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 02:07:35 +0000

Simply decorated, the room is large but pleasant, with cushions and soft sheets of various colours and varieties strewn about. Though what draws the eye is the majestically tall and broad blue-skinned Troll seated on the large cream coloured chair at the centre. The Troll known as Zij sits quietly, lounging in the sea of […]

Family

J.M. Keep — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 02:07:30 +0000

Jez giggled at Zij, winking devilishly at him as she hauled a large fish from the Nagrand lake, carefully avoiding getting the water on her new robe. The male troll smiled at her, his hair an even brighter red in the sun, his skin even bluer next to the water, his robe matching hers – […]

Simply Jez

J.M. Keep — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 02:07:24 +0000

Zij is having a terrible week. The Tuskguards his fighting force wasn’t seeing the enthusiasm he had hoped for, and he has become disgruntled. Always the obedient and doting wife, Jez sought to change that. A simple clay cup sat beside Zij, half full, the bottom filled with assorted herbs and flowers meant to relax […]

Lovesick

J.M. Keep — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 02:07:22 +0000

She pricked her finger with the needle again, yelping in surprise and glaring down at the cloth, putting it aside as she cursed her wound, treating it overly seriously in an excuse to take a break. “D’is gets easiah, right?” she pouted, her tiny blue lip puckered out as she looked to the older orc, […]

Aftermath

J.M. Keep — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 02:07:20 +0000

It was evening in Azshara by the time Jez got to the tiny cave that Gromth was living in. She looked around between fiercely rubbing at her tear-blurred eyes, her face flushed purple. Her usually well kept hair was disheveled and looked unwashed and not in her typical braids. Her robe, which she had laboured […]
