    Good day, all. A brief update on the first few days of my little Agoge project. I started on Friday 03/22, as a bit of a whim. I just felt the sudden urge to take something new on. Sometimes things require a bit of thought, and other times, it’s best to just go with your…

    I completed my images for Susan Braithwaite’s SLDS Challenge, week ending 03/29. I really liked the version she came up with. It was quite killer indeed! The prompt for this week is: A tense standoff at a border crossing Of course, my dumb ass misread it initially and thought “escape” in my head for some…

    Good day, all. We’ve now reached the halfway point of the week, and I hope it’s been good to everyone so far. Temps around here have dropped and there’s a chance of snow/mix in the forecast for later in the week, so Spring is not quite sprung yet. 😄 The NTT Entries for the 03/14/24…

    The remainder of Korv’s journey through Meadow Field was uneventful. There was a chill wind in the air, but the clouds had parted slightly and the sun shone down from above. Korv still felt a slight uneasiness, but it was more akin to the thrill one feels before an impending battle than a feeling of…

    A kingdom crumbles all around me. Wails of agony echo through the cold night air. Still, I have arisen. Licking flames and acrid smoke engulf me. I choke on ash and taste my own blood. Still, I have arisen. My tribe slaughtered like livestock to market. Their souls like coin to the merchant called Death.…

    Korv awoke to a cloudy and windy morn in the village. Indeed, Mother Nature sounded fierce this day! As was his tradition, Korv made his usual brew, and went outdoors to soak in the morning. It moved his spirit and energized him for the day ahead. There has been a soaking rain the night before,…
