A Token, My Liege? Part 15

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 …

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 …

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 …

A Token, My Liege? Part 12

“Ya showed up at a good time, Yer Highness,” the Wyvern Master says in greeting as Shiro and Uryuu dismount from Getsuga’s back. “Most a’ the unpaired wyverns’re hanging ‘round the dens right now.” Uryuu glances from the man and up at the sheer cliff in front of them where wyverns are lazing in the …

A Token, My Liege? Part 11

Uryuu strides across the Flight Field towards the back corner, ignoring the butterflies in his stomach and the curious looks of the Flying Knights that he passes. It’s just after breakfast like they agreed and Uryuu isn’t going to let nerves stand in his way. (Oh, but what if Shiro decided otherwise?) (What if he …

A Token, My Liege? Part 10

Kisuke is relaxing in his rooms, Tessai at his side, when he hears familiar footsteps stalking through his lab and approaching his door. Even more interesting, he can feel the person approaching; Ishida’s magic is reaching towards him for the first time in months, the anger dimmed and softened. It’s an encouraging feeling, and Kisuke …

A Token, My Liege? Part 9

Uryuu’s head is swirling by the time Shiro brings Getsuga back to earth, promises and hopes and maybes mixing together until he barely knows which way is up. Everything’s gone well, gone better than even his wildest dreams, and Shiro’s promised to get him a flying mount and support his transfer into the Flying Knights. …

A Token, My Liege? Part 8

Shiro swallows back his shout of victory as Getsuga launches herself into the air. Not only did Getsuga allow Ishida Uryuu close, but she allowed him on her back! And even better, Ishida is currently clinging tight to his waist and leaning against his back, peering at the ground below. His face is just over …

A Token, My Liege? Part 7

I need to stop tempting fate, Uryuu thinks faintly while staring up at Getsuga in blank acceptance. She’s looming over him, her long neck arched and her head tilted in curiosity, examining him like a cat examines a new toy. He’s never been so close to a wyvern before. Never truly appreciated how large they …

A Token, My Liege? Part 6

The courtyard is cramped, jammed full with every active knight, mage, and prominent fighter in the castle. It’s enough to make Uryuu uncomfortable, standing shoulder to shoulder with people he neither likes nor trusts, but there’s nothing for it. At least his tormentors usually leave him be during gatherings like this, not after the first …

A Token, My Liege? Part 5

“Shiro? Are you blushing again?” Ichigo asks incredulously. Shiro groans and flops down into his seat, burying his face in his hands. “Shaddup!” Ishida Uryuu’s voice continues to run through his mind, filled with honest amusement and interest. To know that someone beyond his brothers has seen and appreciated his attempts to drive off his …

A Token, My Liege? Part 4

The instant Kisuke hears footsteps approaching his lab, he carefully sets aside the dagger he’s been experimenting on and turns around. He has his suspicions about this upcoming visit, and braces himself to face an infuriated Ishida. (Braces himself to lose the young man’s friendship.) (He may have kept his promise to the letter, but …

A Token, My Liege? Part 3

Section Warnings: Bullying – name calling, implications of sexual favors for privileges, hints of potential steep escalation in the near future (Things get lighter after this part, though.) Ichigo holds his magic in close, exactly how Hat’n’Clogs taught him years ago, and moves with careful steps through the knights’ hall. He’s invisible, but neither intangible …
