The World of Secfenia

"A journey?" Mantas exclaimed with much more excitement in his voice than normal. The drinks are slowly starting to turn his typical serious and somber attitude into one more jovial. A smile was on his face as he continued. "I used to detest travel but over the last few years have become fond of it...

Mantas noticed that Bridget started drinking at a slower pace but he didn't let that slow him down. He could become quick to anger sometimes after to many drinks but there was little worry about that here. Some slurred speech or a spilled drink were his only concerns today and considering the last t...

Mantas listened to the story with interest. As Bridget listed the reasons that lead to her decision to resign from her position in Kiene Mantas thought about the similarities to his own decision to seek out new lands. While it wasn't an exact match his reasons for traveling to Secfenia were also a r...

King Zuan's words had inspired Mantas and he was happy to be working for him. Mantas walked with purpose...

Mantas walked along considering the conversation so far. He had planned this encounter yet it seemed Zuan had been expecting his arrival and managed to steer the conversation getting Mantas to admit more than he intended. In the end things are turning out the way Mantas had wanted but it showed him ...

Mantas walked along listening to the king. He was slightly surprised at Zuan's choice to use the word friend so quickly. Was this a trick to get him to lower his guard?
