The cannon shells fell in a staccato beat as they pummeled the Protective Dome. Yuriko hurried towards the town hall, to the Dome chamber, to check the controllers.
She released her Resistance aura almost as soon as she heard the pounding, c...

Yuriko sat up from her sweat-soaked sheets. Her room was empty, and from the darkness, it was either still the Celestial Refraction or it was just before dawn on the 1st Day of Water. Her Anima spread out instinctively, to look for her friends and...

The corpse’s explosion took Yuriko completely by surprise. Its concussive force knocked her over and she tumbled head over heels across the bridge. She only managed to stay on it by using her kinesis to hang on to the edge.

Rage.
The red nearly overcame Yuriko’s mind. Her golden light slowly bled, her Anima quivered.
Grief.

Wings of light fluttered in the wind and, even though they didn’t need to move to provide lift, Sadeen’s battlewings reacted and moved to her emotional state. At the moment, they moved in quick, jerky fits and starts.
