Calvin sat cradling his wife in their cabin. She sat up to look at him. "I can't believe Tripp had to go through this. It's horrible." Summer said as she leaned up to kiss him on the neck. "Honey?" She insisted. Calvin finally looked back down at her. "Sorry, I was just thinking about who this killer could be." He had suspected all of them because each of them was more suspicious than the other. He wondered if his cousin had felt the same way.
There was a knock on the door. Summer got up to open it and revealed Giles and Lana. She ushered them in and they all sat in the living room. "I have coffee?" Summer offered. "No thank you, we have something to discuss with you both." Giles patted the chair next to him and Summer finally sat to listen. Giles cleared his throat.
"Well, the most important thing right now is to find out who this killer is." He reached into his pocket and pulled out something dark and round. "This is one of many cameras I have installed in every guest's room. We will no doubt know who the killer is once I watch the footage." He smiled proudly to himself. Calvin shook his head. "No, the killer will be smarter than that. I wouldn't be surprised if they watched you do it and are letting you have your short lived fun."
The group continued to talk about all the things they would need to do moving forward. Not one of them noticed the person watching from the side window. The person dropped down from the deck and ran off into the woods. "You wanna play games Giles? Let's play games."

Jaclyn had been reading for over two hours. She'd always been a lover of books and felt she needed the escape now more than ever. She looked to her left and saw Ethan snoring beside her on the hammock. He had told her all she needed to know from the crime scene and yet they could not figure out the riddle. Jaclyn continued to read. A twig snapped beside her.
Sage walked out of the woods, a book in her hand as well. "I'm sorry, I didn't know anyone-." She looked at Ethan laying beside Jaclyn. "What's going on?" Jaclyn closed her book. Sage was infuriated. Ethan had promised to tell her all of his information from the riddle but had never said anything. Now here he was cuddling with some fucking girl. "He's gay I'm not into him." Jaclyn stated, issuing a glare. "Jealous?" The two girls stared each other down.
Ethan woke up with a jolt. "Jaclyn what are you doing?" He stopped when he saw Sage, arms crossed, standing in front of them. "Have fun with your fuck buddy." Sage whirled around and walked off. Ethan almost fell off the hammock as he slid off. "Wait!" He ran after the retreating girl. "Just wait!" Jaclyn watched them leave.

Jericho and Zayne had been playing a game of pool. Phillip stood beside them, drinking a can of beer. "Why would the riddle be useful if nobody solved it?" Jericho asked as he shot the ball across the table. Zayne leaned down and realized he had to accept his defeat. "They're all lying. Someone here definitely solved the riddle." Phillip said. "My money is on the couple or Greer." He looked over at Jericho. "Please tell me you brought a joint."

Jericho fished in his pocket but his hand came out empty. "Shit! Someone must have taken it. I can't wait to leave this hell hole. Someone is really messing with us." He put down his pool stick and walked over to where Phillip was. Phillip paused staring at the man. "Wait. You don't think Trinity is dead do you? I saw her. She is dead." Jericho tensed. "I'm just saying this is all bullshit."
Zayne sat on the chair opposite them. "We just have to find out who solved the riddle. When we do, we'll have our answers-." He was interrupted when the door flung open and Sherman rushed into the room. "Oh my god! He's dead!" He was flailing his hands. "He's dead and I saw him die and I did nothing! I'm an idiot and I deserve to die!" Sherman flung himself to the ground and started sobbing. "Who's dead?" Zayne asked, standing up quickly. Sherman in between sobs finally answered the question. "The blonde. Cole. Cole! Motherfucker killed him. They killed Cole!"

Celestial Spark
Mages traditionally make poor fodder, but with proper training and motivation, possess near limitless potential. For mage teams, the battle camps of the Upper Realms provide both, with missions ranging from orc hunts to political espionage. This tale follows one such team of four who strive to prove themselves in a world that would rather overlook them. Loyalty, honour, and devotion are contrasted by avarice, treachery, and apathy, though at times it can be difficult to separate vice from virtue. For though all people, whether they hail from the peripheries or the kingdom capital, are subjects whose fates are bound to the stars, their choices must be their own. Any comments or questions are welcomed.

Dauntless: Origins
Snow white hair, blue eyes, pale. Devil, monster, mutt, failure.This story follows one Tyr Faeron, crown prince, heir primus and mass murderer. A wrathful, angry, and lost young man that has made it his goal to hunt down the men that killed his mother - and he is on the cusp of finishing the promise he'd made before her cairn stones so many years ago. On the surface he is duplicitous, whimsical, and base of cunning - but within the depths beyond the many masks he wears, something is waiting. Waiting for an end, the end he'd come to long for, whether it be to himself or any possible threats in his vicinity. After that long labor of vengeance is completed... Nobody knows, not even him - an arrogant and otherwise solitary individual with nothing in the way of friends - only the brothers of the blackguard who follow him through life as he pursues this mission. He was born a prince, but he'd be called a disappointment - failing to manifest the great power that he was born to before being summarily discarded by his father, a 250 year old 'primus'. That word again... Men who can shatter mountains and level cities, that's what he was supposed to be. Some call them demi-gods, all Tyr sees is a poor excuse for a parent. Time had made him bitter, cruel, and arguably psychotic - seeing only enemies wherever he looks. They'd come for him, too, one day - to wipe the slate clean and make room for another - and it's his conviction to ensure that he dies while taking as many of those rats with him. This is a story about finding acceptance, growth, and understanding - from the point of view of a cold and brutal individual who wears many masks. Of someone who was born to be the greatest emperor the eastern continent has ever seen - but he failed in that. Strong, yes, but only in the context of a man - Tyr's magic is weak. His convictions are weak. He has been made a beast of instinct by loss and a constant confronting of his own impotency in the face of his father. A mythos that stretches across planes, of magic, a pantheon of cruel gods. Of someone who's dedicated his entire mind to the art of killing a man, and none to living a normal childhood or coming to understand friendship, empathy, or compassion. The first five years of his life a mystery, a hole none have ever been willing to fill, leaving him warped and twisted. His formative years gone and what must've been most of his humanity along with it. Now 17, he is on the cusp of leaving the city he'd never been permitted to leave for what might be the first time in his life. Always searching, though he won't know what for, for some time. An episodic that follows experience and symbolism rather than a never ending series of battles - where the conflict lay in constantly searching for wholeness in lieu of great villains or heroes. This is where it all started, the origin, the tale told a million times - and yet it hadn't been, 'reality' is tricky like that. The greatest lie ever told by the tongue that speaks is that any of this was real at all.
