The Adventures of Taywin Rippleskip- Chp 1- Death

The Adventures of Taywin Rippleskip A Halfling Saga ~Chapter One~ Oh, man! This thing’s breath was foul. It was like rotting meat and acid. I twisted around, trying to get at my dagger, straining my little body against the bumpy roof of the beast’s giant maw, gripping a tooth with one bleeding hand at the same time. I pulled the blade free and started trying to stab at its tongue. I could hear my friends outside fighting. Grimaulken let out a battle cry, and I heard her offer insults to the beast’s mother. Her slam poetry always made me laugh, but not now. I could feel my grip slipping as the blood began coating the t

"Why are those my only two options?" She demanded. "Because those are the only two kinds of women my father considers off-limits." "That's ridiculous. If you die, I'll just run." "A very good plan also, however, if you are caught, there is still a chance of my father forcing matters. I would rather he were forced to keep his hands off you." He rubbed his palms in his eyes, as if exhausted. "Then what do you suggest?" "In our culture, a marriage ceremony is brief, and a divorce is even swifter. To part ways a couple need only stand before the shaman and state that their love is gone, and they are parted." "And...?" "I promise it will be

The Adventures of Taywin Rippleskip A Halfling Saga ~Prologue~ A little halfling skipped along, playing a ballad of the Calamitous Turn on her lute. Her dress was blue and her apron was yellow, and there was a playful sparkle in her eye. She was leading the children on an epic imaginary adventure. Once they had expended some excess energy, they would return to the village and complete their chores. Taywin was never paid for her babysitting, but she didn't care. She had a knack with children, and a good job entertaining at the inn where there was always lots of wonderful food. And people liked her. She was often called on to help mediate di

Its my birthday?" She mentally counted. "It is! And you remembered it? How did you know?" He reached into his book crate and pulled out a calendar of all the meaningful events of Mearor for the last forty years, turned to a page, and pointed. 'The Lord Prince Ariphron Amalekis Mordesini II is blessed on this day to receive a Teifling as his third child, and second daughter. His Majesty, King Timur Askari Ferit-Hakan, has expressed his joy at receiving another grandchild, and especially one so blessed.' "And you memorized this date?" she asked. "When we met I looked it up." "Why?" "I had read it before, and knew it was close, but I wante

She shook herself out of her shocked state, and began calling for Pyewacket as she resumed her path back to Devrim's tent, but it wasn't long before she ran into Shiserra. "No, I'm not pregnant." She said before the snake woman could ask. "Sssuch a sssshame," Shiserra replied. "However, I was jusssst going to asssk where Chari Devrim isss." "I left him in the tent with the shaman." "Oh, I ssssee. You do know that Ulima iss a devout worsshiper of the Wassssp Queen, don't you?" "Well, that's nice. I favor her as well. Someday the goddess may grant me retribution against you, even." Shiserra hissed a laugh. "Well, you ssshould know ssshe's

The waterfall wasn't far, but there were obstacles in the direct line of it. They wove around tents and leapt over crates. They even tried to trip each other up, teasingly, but the added skill to their dexterity made them an even match. As soon as they were on open ground, however, it became clear that Melisande was the faster of them. She reached the rocky wall first, and began climbing the fifteen or so feet to the top of the waterfall. She reached the peak, and splashed her feet through the geyser as it shot forth out of the stony crevasse. She leapt backward off the rocks and flipped with her wings open in a short glide to the ground. S

"Hello, Chari Devrim, Princess Melisande. Please, come in!" The girl gestured into the tent, staring past them, almost seeming to gaze at Malik, smiling. They entered the wide tent, Melisande looking back curiously at the girl. "Good morning, Ulima," replied Devrim. "We didn't mean to disturb you with your guest." The young woman fluttered her hand as though waving his apology away. "Not a bit, Chari, not a bit. My wandering spirit is wind today, so I'm feeling very care free." She fluffed up some cushions on the floor and bade them sit, as Melisande wondered how a blind person could move about so freely. "I see through the eyes of my spir

My Bio

I live with my sweet Husband and 3 children in a little town near the Rocky mountains. I love many, many art forms.
Acting, Writing, and Cosplay are the favourites. Sadly, music is the red-headed stepchild; loved, but not enough attention paid to it.
I love everything geeky or nerdy. I play D&D and video games, I enjoy Anime, and I LOVE fantasy novels, and comic books. I met my husband LARPing, which I still do, on occasion, and I think in song lyrics and movie lines.
I'm currently performing at the Terrace Plaza Playhouse in Washington Terrace, Utah.

a note on the people of Mearor

0 min read

Mearor is also home to four other types of people. Keshy, Coba, Ceato, and the Al' Tuc. The Keshy are a  reptilian race (snake folk) trickery and double dealing is their way of life. They make up most of the business men and diplomats. (Think Ferangi) The Coba, or Coe (KOh) as they call themselves, are very similar to the Mearaneas. They are however, stouter, not as tall and more blunt in facial structure. They make up a good part of the fighting force of mearor, and the Slave labor as well. The Ceato are River folk. Auburn hair and blue eyes are their trademarks. They are almost never seen too far from water. Al' Tuc are a nomadic people. Th
