			<description><![CDATA[ <!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:blue;"><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>The journey to Meccoban was uneventful, and for good reason.  Xanthus clung to the fields and other out-of-the-way areas as to not draw unwanted attention.  He relied on this magic to sustain him during his journey, using protective magics and conjuring food and water when needed.  The journey was much too long to carry the needed supplies without a proper wagon or other items that would either slow him down or... ]]></description>

With an eager spring, Xanthus emerged from his sleeping chamber and quickly grabbed his clothing to dress.

Reaching behind him he grabbed a pair of small glasses off a shelf and laid them out on the bar in front of him. He then began to pure the contents of the bottle into one of the glasses filling it about half way before moving to the other. Placing the bottle on the counter he grabbed one of the glasses and slide the other to Christa who was standing across from... ]]></description>

His name was Kavin Ungart, but was better known as Kavin Neverbeard.  <br><br>The life of Kavin Ungart was akin to most dwarves.  He mined for the precious metals located near his community, trained in the military along with his close friends, and enjoyed a peaceful life with his family of 100 (small for a dwarf, but still respectable among the larger races).

She is strikingly beautiful, with blonde hair cascading below her shoulders, clear blue eyes, soft smooth skin, and an enticing smile. She is 23 years old, 5 9 tall, and tips the scales at just 125 pounds. With her breathtaking features and alluring figure, she frequently elicits admiring glances, ogles, and the occasional... ]]></description>

Growing up with only one parent was hard, but when that one parent's chosen profession is that of piracy it makes it much more interesting. We lived in the secluded city of Daggerport to which my father brought me to after my mother's passing. My father was out to sea on business much of the time so I was usually left in the care of a friend of my father named Jack Serringer. &quot;Uncle Jack&quot; was the name I called him by, he is a well... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I was born to a happy home, as most of my kind are.  Grew up as any normal halfling would, playing with other children without a real care in the world.  As I grew up though, I started to realize that I was different then the others in two ways.  It seems that I was born with an insatiable curiosity.  I was always wondering off, looking this cave, wandering down that corridor.  The other thing was that the older I got, the more I could cause things to happen.  Little things at first, minor... ]]></description>

It was nearly dawn and everyone would soon fill the small pergola to pray as the sun shined upon us with its first morning light. Kalindi moved in front of the shrine of the metal sun facing out to where the sun would rise. Kneeling down she stared out at the horizon waiting faithfully like she had done since she was a child. The room begin to fill with the other monks that lived in the... ]]></description>

Together they moved swiftly and silently through the streets towards the third tier where Lila dwelt with her parents.  As they neared the gateway, Zorges turned, giving the young lady an amused smile.  His eyes, Lila noticed, seemed much more intense than the lazy smile that played upon his lips.<br><br>Please forgive my boldness, he began, but was tonight your first taste of Embrosia, your... ]]></description>

As the smoke cleared and visibility returned, Lila noticed that apparently only Darla had heeded Havoks call to flee the room; her pale face was peeking into the room from the doorway, while Havok, Alex, Xanthus, and Laranis were still present, their faces covered with soot.  The darkened faces brought back memories....<br><br>Four slim figures, black as shadows, darted... ]]></description>

My stomach churned and I quickly found a bucket next to the bed, thankful but I found myself wondering how it got there. Remembering what had happened last night suddenly, I quickly sat up and looked around, winching at the sharp pain stabbing my aching head. <br><br>This wasn't the same room, in fact am I even in the Inn anymore?

He just stopped in his tracks and stared at me, like I was the most beautiful creature he'd ever seen. With my deep green eyes and my red hair spilling down my shoulders and breasts, I was but a young woman of sixteen then, the day I went straight to hell. I was paralyzed as he grabbed me by the hand and placed his lips upon mine kissing me tenderly, pulling me against the wall. The city guards ran by us as... ]]></description>
