Arrogant, condescending, rude. To say that Adrik is not a great person to be around would be an understatement. Instead of fully internalizing his feelings, Adrik tends to lash out at others because he has yet to realize the extent of which other’s emotions affect his emotional state. He has yet to find the off switch to his empathic and telepathic abilities and as a result is constantly assaulted by the thoughts and feelings of others. As there is rarely any room in his head for his own thoughts, he tends to operate on his base instincts more than is healthy. Many of his problems are due to his relatively young age but are magnified by the fact that he chooses to spend most of his time around those he can’t “hear” anything from, such as Enya, as it gives him a chance to be alone in his head as opposed to learning how to cope with his own abilities.
If Adrik were able to look past his own pride and admit to himself and others that he needs help, he might just be surprised by how much easier that would make things. However, he has not quite reached that point, yet.

Since most dwarves are able to manipulate rocks and metals to varying degrees (through… Continue reading 24
It was brought to my attention that the site’s comment system isn’t actually working… I definitely screwed up somewhere when doing something on the site. I don’t know where and am hoping I can fix it without access to my computer. I found one setting so far that was not what it should have been… Continue reading 25
I can’t think of anything to say that won’t betray what’s about to happen.
Everyone else is way too involved in the current argument to notice what’s going on. — I don’t usually like delving into what happens in my life because I’m a really boring person; most of my would-be stories revolve around the many joys of being lactose intolerant and quickly turn to TMI territory. I love… Continue reading 14
I’ve been waiting for this update for a long time (this page and the events leading up to it are why I’ve been excited for this chapter) as it marks Fae’s first active steps towards personal growth. So far Fae’s just gone along for the ride and while there’s plenty of reasons for her passivity,… Continue reading 15
I’m not sure Fae thought this all the way through.
