A Token, My Liege? Part 15

It all still feels like a dream, but Uryuu's finally starting to believe it's real.

Uryuu breathes out a sigh and slowly pulls away from the black pegasi, savoring the feel of connection settling into his magic, tiny wisps of other brushing his awareness like faint breezes against his skin. With time and effort their connection will deepen, will grow strong and powerful as a gale, but for now… For now, he savors what he never expected to have, thrilling in every sensation,…

A Token, My Liege? Part 14

Uryuu finally gets to meet the pegasi, and they're all he ever dreamed of.

The diffuse light of the stable gives way to bright daylight as the Pegasi Master leads them out into a training field and then along the fence-line towards a smaller field just beyond. She swings the gate open and gestures them through, then closes the gate behind them and leans against it, raising her fingers to her lips and whistling sharp-loud-commanding— Wingbeats fill the air as pegasi…

A Token, My Liege? Part 13

Done visiting the wyverns, it's now time for Uryuu to face the pegasi.

The rest of his visit is significantly easier, but also significantly less interesting; he finds one or two more wyverns who he could work with if he made the effort, but… none of them match his magic as cleanly as the blue in Whirlwind’s flight. Truthfully, none of them match his magic even as well as Whirlwind herself does, and he knows instinctively that if he’s going to choose a wyvern — be…

Bare Your Fangs to the Dusk Part 18

Erich really wishes his parents were a little less... them.

Erich followed his father into the man’s office, mouth dry and stomach a knot of tension; this was the moment where everything could go wrong, where he could be found out as a liar and— He honestly didn’t know how his father would react, either to discovering the lie as a lie or believing it; his father had never really seemed against him staying in Kisuke’s guild, but… being part of a guild and…

Bare Your Fangs to the Dusk Part 14

Erich doesn't know what he's done, but *something* is bothering Kisuke. Things are certainly off to a rocky start...

“Ready to go?” Erich asked Ura— Kisuke as the man stepped into the courtyard with a pack in one hand and his regular sword strapped to his waist.

“And meet my fate? Absolutely,” Kisuke replied with a teasing grin as he meandered closer, sharp eyes taking the chaos of the courtyard in. “I simply cannot wait.”

Erich gave him the dry look his words deserved and ignored the speculative murmurs…

Bare Your Fangs to the Dusk Part 7

Alexis wonders if they can actually pull this plan off... and wonders if she even wants to try.

Alexis pulled herself up into a familiar, ancient tree and began to climb, pausing only long enough to check that Benihime was following her. They needed a quiet, secluded place to talk if she was right about Benihime’s reason for showing up, and she knew just the place.

“Interesting place to talk,” Benihime murmured as they climbed higher.

“Not there yet.” Alexis sat on a thick branch and…

Bare Your Fangs to the Dusk Part 3

Kisuke sets to work. If he wants to keep Rerugen alive and at his side, he's going to need every ounce of cunning... and perhaps a willing co-conspirator.

Kisuke grimaced as Rerugen retreated from his presence with his composure in tatters and the most incredible blush still painting his cheeks. He’d pushed the man too far once again, but he just couldn’t help himself some days. Rerugen kept himself so rigidly controlled that the flashes of emotion, of temper, that Kisuke could tease out of him were addictive, a taste of the man’s inner self that…
