A Token, My Liege? Part 14

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 …

swept up amid this changing world Part 16

“Congratulations, sir,” Degurechaff announces as she slips into the tent, clearly distracted by something. “The men seem to have collectively decided that your foreign soulmate is a good man and that the entire reason I stepped in as chaperon is because I understand more of his language than you do. No one seems to have …

swept up amid this changing world Part 15

Erich wakes to the feel of Degurechaff’s familiar-unfamiliar spiritual presence pressing down on him. He grunts and forces himself up on his elbow, squinting at her silhouette in the gloom of the tent, and mutters, “You’re projecting, Colonel.” “Sorry, sir,” she answers, voice clear-soft-judging as she shifts a step closer. She does, however, rein in …

beneath the cherry trees Part 3

Erich wakes with a groan, body aching and mind sluggish. His mouth tastes like cotton and there’s a headache pounding across his temples in time with his heartbeat; he feels scraped raw and wrung out, like whatever he tangled with the night before won and then kept at it, and… frankly, from what little he …

Negotiated Rights Part 1

Uryuu put the finishing touches on the chalk circle and stepped back to give it a look. Everything seemed to be in order, the lines neat and clean, the focusing items set in their place, and nothing in the way. It was just like he remembered his grandfather showing him. (He’d even snuck back into …

swept up amid this changing world Part 14

The men are in a better state than he expected, Erich finds as he leads Urahara and Alexis through the camp, checking in with NCOs as he goes. They are exhausted and tired and disillusioned but they’re also smiling at him as he and Urahara and Alexis pass, hopeful-happy-kind, like the fact that he has …

Lost Eclipse Part 16

Trees flickered past as Kaito raced down the forest path as fast as he dared go; the sooner he was out of the forest and into Rovetelle, the sooner he could begin piecing together current events and finding out the lay of the land. (And the sooner he could return to Ishida’s side.) (He hoped …

A Token, My Liege? Part 13

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 …

beneath the cherry trees Part 2

The village is quiet, peaceful, like something out of an idyllic story. There’s a waterfall nearby, filling the air with the steady noise of rushing water, and an owl is calling from one of the trees, but otherwise there’s nothing stirring. Erich wanders down the stone paths with Alexis at his side, ears perked as …

Bare Your Fangs to the Dusk Part 20

“Well, that meeting went better than expected,” Kisuke said as soon as the… servants? Probably servants… filed out of the room and closed the door behind them; while he appreciated the thought behind bringing in a larger bed and a large tub for them to wash up in, he wished it wasn’t so obvious that …
