[4/4] A bright flash heralded Hadid’s arrival. The brilliant portal shone clearly as the mage stepped through. Locking eyes with Kaigan, he nodded and summoned a second portal behind the kobold and the assassin. Rodolf turned in surprise, not exp…
-
[3/4] Hadid stood - or was he lying down? - motionless as pregnant moments passed in darkness, eyes closed. He wasn’t certain if he had conjured another portal or if he had imagined it. Was he still beneath the cave-in or was he somewhere else? He …
-
[2/4] The moment happened so quickly that Kaigan didn’t even have time to cry out. The portal blinked into existence, Hadid plunged through, and then it snapped shut. It was barely open long enough to see tendrils of darkness envelop the mage. D…

Escape [1/4] [A huge thank you to @DrakeGladis who collaborated on this story. They have been exceedingly patient and easy to work with! This is a blend of each of our writing so hopefully it comes together in a unique way.] Kaigan being first int…

Aftermath We’ve done this before. Ozge squinted against the bright sunlight. She felt the rough grass of the arena turf brush against her cheek. She attempted to draw a deep breath but gasped as a tearing pain lanced across her chest. Rehela quic…

Preparation [Match 1] Ozge affirmed the location of the metal spikes both in the pouch at her right hip and tucked into the edge of her light gauntlet. Satisfied, she tightened a strap on her climbing harness. Mobility would be tantamount even thou…

Got Your (Flash)Back 2/2 The sounds of subsequent commotion at the late Count Edmund’s manor had long receded into the distance. The two women paused their retreat atop the veranda of an abandoned shop on the outskirts of town. Lucine angrily pull…

Got Your (Flash)Back 1/2 [Five years ago] “How can you be sure we’re safe, Ross?” Count Edmund paced nervously into his quarters, flanked by two burly personal guards. Lantern light flickered against the rich wood paneling of the ostentatious room …

Helping Hand [post announcement, pre-dinner] Ozge carefully padded up the steps toward the housing wing. It was only a few hours after acceptance had been announced and she was already exhausted from the sheer amount of interaction this tournament …

Prologue It had been three years since she’d woken up. Three years, five months, and fourteen days to be precise, but it felt much longer. It had taken nearly the first third of that time to simply relearn how to walk and to feed herself, much less …

Walk [2/2] The gathered birds chittered at one another as they pecked at the bread pieces. Kaigan’s brow furrowed with thought as he watched them. He took several deep breaths before he answered. “Prepared? No. I don’t think I am.” He gazed intent…

Walk [1/2] [Sometime before match 7] (In collaboration with @DrakeGladis - thank you for working with me!) Kaigan swished his tail experimentally, flipping the hems of his new tunic as he breezed across the grounds of Werther Fortress. He happily p…

Lessons (2/2) “Remember, your portals won’t work on broad swings like these.” Sir Killian demonstrated the attacks slowly. “You’ll have to watch for thrusts if you hope to redirect them.” Hadid sat against the base of a tree, wiping a damp cloth a…
-
Lessons (1/2) “Are all these really necessary?” Hadid asked as he tightened a strap on his padded body armor and bracers. Sir Killian continued pacing to the opposite end of the dusty training ring, twirling a practice spear experimentally. As he …

A Book by its Cover [in collaboration with @Lujikul - thank you for working with me on this!] The library at Werther Fortress could hardly be called such, but it was appropriately secluded from much of the bustle on the grounds. The shelves were st…
-
Sleepwalking [with character credit to @CassZero - thanks for collaborating!] Hadid seldom dreamed. Sleep is respite for a restless mind so why waste it on nonsense? he would rib those who asked about his dreamless nights. It wasn’t as though he ch…

“It says ‘of Champions.’” “So it does.” “Right there in the title.” “Indeed.” “‘Champion’ usually means someone that has won something or earned a title or--” A wry smile wrinkled the corner of Hadid’s lips. “Are you concerned for my qualific…

Four cards that don't exhibit any particular synergy isn't exactly a strong starting place for a whole reprint set, though it sounds like you may want to consider a cube. You can curate a draft environment with a small number of cards (typically 360…

Entries No. 1 & 2 I love the GU overlap in design - there are several cool things they can do together - and the Sidewinder is a nod to one of my favorite mechanics. U gets both conditional and unconditional draw and G gets draw primarily whe…

I've done digital pieces for previous contests so I really wanted to jump back into a physical medium. It's been a long time since I've done watercolor so I'm pleased that it turned out at all! Feedback is always welcome!
