Character: Jumwa - The Keep

Child

J.M. Keep — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 02:07:18 +0000

Jez wasn’t as good of a girl as she made people believe she was. Sure, she wasn’t terrible, and certainly didn’t have any evil intents… quite the opposite… but she loved one thing that would classify her as bad. Jez loved sex, and not always the monogamous kind. In fact, for her birthday for the […]

Renkka, Meet Jumwa

J.M. Keep — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 02:07:06 +0000

Decades prior, Jumwa would have sat atop a throne of skulls at the centre of his secluded forest village. Nestled in the woods of Lordaeron, Jumwa’s enclave did not command great armies or respect from the other Trolls. In fact, its existence hinged much upon remaining hidden. The vile witch doctors reign was cruel and […]

Alterac Valley

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

The cries of battle resounded through the valley, the mountains on either side locking in the war cries and the screams of pain. Jumwa stood guard at the window of the bunker he and Renkka had taken, on the lookout for alliance, his power noticeable to any. He scowled as another human spotted him and […]

Moving

J.M. Keep — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 02:05:20 +0000

Her feet pounded into the ground as she sprinted around her small, claimed land. For the past weeks she had been training full time, barely breaking to eat. Her atrophied muscles had regained their fervor and her body was lean and tone. Her arms had begun to bulge slightly, once more, and her legs were […]

Pen Pals

J.M. Keep — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 02:05:12 +0000

Dear Lady Idryl Bitterose, I hope you will forgive the random nature of such a letter and grant me your patience in reading it fully. I am somewhat of an academic, a scholar of the magical arts; all the magical arts to some degree, I try. In particular, the arts of sorcery that I have […]

Punishment

J.M. Keep — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 02:05:05 +0000

Jumwa’s heavy arm swung backwards, his eyes narrowed furiously as the back of his hand connected with Anjasa’s jaw, sending her flying back, a loud thud resonating through the bedroom as she struck the floor. She blinked a few tears away, scrambling backwards on her hands and feet as he stalked over to her, glaring […]

Meditation

J.M. Keep — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 02:04:58 +0000

Rain fell heavily on the plains of Nagrand–the heady scent of earth filling the air. The drops glistened as they fell, lightened by the high moon. Birds chirped to one another from the safety of their natural canopies as the worms rose to the surface, bathing in the moist earth. A sole orc sat, her […]

Misery

J.M. Keep — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 02:04:50 +0000

Draeka stood before the large, wooden door, hesitating. She had opted for something a little less menacing than her battle armour, instead visiting the familiar bank in Orgrimmar, taking out a simple robe, modest in cut, a rich brown. The trim around the edges, and in the full of the skirt was a forest green, […]

Idryl’s Research Tomes

J.M. Keep — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 02:04:49 +0000

Idryl sat in the small study, flicking through a heavy tome quickly, her careful green eyes scanning the messy notes and doodles, transferring some of the information to a lighter book. The room was lit by the high noon sun, the glare getting in her eyes slightly. She scowled at the slight inconvenience, summoning her […]

Idryl’s Diary

J.M. Keep — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 02:04:25 +0000

Dear Diary, I agreed to move in with J.J. today. Things are complicated, of course. He’s married to Anjasa, whom is of course living with him as well. They’ll be sharing a bed, and I’ll have my own separate bedroom. Just as well for that. I prefer my privacy, after all. I still struggle with […]

Of Kings and Queens

J.M. Keep — Sun, 16 Dec 2012 23:34:29 +0000

There once was a queen named Anjasa who lived in a beautiful castle with servants and maids and people to cook her meals. Her land was vast and she and her husband ruled over it with a strong hand. However, once in a while, the queen and her king wanted escape. So they would go […]

The Change Will Come

J.M. Keep — Sun, 16 Dec 2012 23:32:48 +0000

His tanned wrists were bound, expertly, the flesh of the delicate skin pressed tightly together as his hands were drawn over his head, elbows flexed only slightly. His legs were splayed, leather cuffs fastened tightly around his ankles. His body was lean and toned, lithe, the muscles compacted against him, defined but non-obtrusive under his […]

Love Letters

J.M. Keep — Sun, 16 Dec 2012 23:29:16 +0000

A beautifully written letter on expensive paper. Despite the skill and quality of the writing and instruments, a couple mistakes are made and crossed out. My lady Id, As I await renewed assault in these chilled towering halls, I find my mind ever drifting back to you. No, not simply my promise to investigate herbal […]

Puzzle Pieces

J.M. Keep — Sun, 16 Dec 2012 23:23:17 +0000

It was just after dawn break when Anjasa stirred in her oversized bed. Easily big enough to comfortably sleep up to six large people, it only held two small elves tonight. She curled into his strong arms and though he shifted at her movements, she quickly coaxed him back into sleep. The room wasn’t big […]

Threats

J.M. Keep — Sun, 16 Dec 2012 23:21:21 +0000

“Rah-jah-neee” a voice in the darkness hissed, causing the petite blood elf to stop dead in her tracks, a slow tickle of fear tracing up her spine. She whipped around to the direction of the voice, squinting into the blackness, shadows dancing across the stacks of crates and bags. Ratchet was unusually quiet for the […]
