Stories

Here are all the stories I've written about Riala, as well as roleplaying threads, all in chronological order.

Vengeance Quest
When a wolverine kills a young squirrel's father, it may be the most deadly mistake of his life. He has set Riala Goldentail on a quest for vengeance... a quest for Nightdeath Longclaws' head.

Storm's Song
A short story about Stormsong, of the Nighthunt horde. Be sure to read Chapter 7 of Vengeance Quest first.

Soulfires
Soulfires of the dreaming night,
What dramas have you seen?
Secrets held in your pale light,
Each long-forgotten scene.

A songfic about Riala reflecting on her time with Aeloein.

Fort Ruddler Missions and RPing Threads
Stories from Riala's time at Fort Ruddler, including missions and roleplaying threads.


Non-Continuity Stories and RPing Threads
Anything under this topic, including the Ancient Stories below, do not fit into the continuity of Riala's life.  Think of these as alternate-universe stories and RPing threads.

The Quest
The Quest is a chat RPG run by Retto of rw-club.org.  I'm not including this in the continuity because Riala is highly OOC through much of it.  I think it's because I don't get time to think over my posts in a fast-paced chat room... All links are to the Quest transcriptions at rw-club.org.  This should be updated once a week, as the chat RPG is held every Wednesday night.

Prologue
Chapter 1: Off on a Quest
Chapter 2: Encounter with the Slavers

Chapter 3: Mountain Arrival
Chapter 4: Guardian of the Emerald
Chapter 5: Return to the Abbey


Ancient Stories
Stories I wrote when I first started roleplaying Riala.  These do not fit in with the rest of the continuity in her life, because she was a very cliché, somewhat dull character then, and I was a bad writer besides.  These are laughably horrible and entirely unedited.

Firesight
The story of the Badger Lord.

A Search for Vengeance
The original Vengeance Quest.

One Horrible RPing Thread
A roleplay thread copied and pasted from the old Inside The Web forum (anyone remember those?) dating back to December '98.  It's such horrible roleplaying on my part... I think I'm going to be sick...

Rapscallion's Return
A mission written for the Wanderers.  The remnant of the Rapscallions are reported to be in Mossflower.

Wolves in Mossflower
A mission written for the Wanderers.  Wolves have been reported to be in Mossflower, and Riala goes to investigate.

Invading Horde
A mission written for the Wanderers.  A horde has invaded Mossflower, and Riala joins the rest of the Wanderers in driving them away.

Escape from the Isle
When I was in the Wanderers, there was a writing game between the Wanderers and Bloodbane's Isle where one person would write a story about their character capturing a character from the opposing side, and the captured character would have to write a story where they escaped, or someone could write a story about their character freeing a captured character.  In this one, Riala escapes from Bloodbane's Isle after being captured by Kitsune in A Different Capture.

Taking of Revenge
Riala finally takes her revenge on Nightdeath Longclaws.  Mild spoilers.

A Reason to Live
After killing the Longclaws, Riala's purpose in life is gone... This was when I first started writing decent angst and when I first began to think about how hate and vengeance can consume a person.  Many of the thoughts that went into this story become the main theme of the revised version of Vengeance Quest - indeed, of Riala's entire character.  Obviously this doesn't fit into the current story of Riala's life, but it's not a bad story for a 7th-grader (which is when I wrote it, I think, though it could have been 8th grade... doubtful though).

 

 

   

Riala Goldentail is © Snowspine (Danielle Higgins).  Redwall is © Brian Jacques.  Please do not use Riala in any stories, etc without first getting my assent.  I'll probably let you use her in your story, but I'd like to know that you're writing her into one and I'd appreciate it if you'd ask me first.
