The shadow had her work cut out for her. Not only did her young mistress pick a fight with a powerful Chaos Lord, one that was stronger than the shadow, but she also practically ignored that offering battle while having ten weakened women to prote...

2022-05-09 10:55:08 +0000 UTC View PostThe fiery explosion back at the bridge distracted Yuriko enough that one of the Weaver’s…er, tentacles, managed to smack her side. Her condensed Anima protected her from harm but did nearly nothing to ameliorate the force of the blow, causing ...
2022-05-02 14:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostIt turned out that Yuriko didn’t need to ferry the other women across the remaining gap between the ice bridge and the opposite shore. Pavo, the third and shortest man of the scouts said that he could create platforms of light that should be abl...
2022-05-02 13:46:00 +0000 UTC View PostGwendith goggled at Yuriko’s display of strength. It was mind-boggling how a relatively slender girl could drag a heavy ice floe that should have weighed thousands of Jin across the river, standing on a slippery and muddy riverbank too.

2022-05-02 13:30:01 +0000 UTC View Post“I…well, we can probably freeze over the water and walk across,” Kalla said, nodding to Gwendith who stood next to Yuriko.
“Eh?” Gwendith jerked her head, “I haven’t tried to freeze that much water…”
“You’ve got i...
2022-05-02 13:15:00 +0000 UTC View PostIt didn’t take long for Yuriko to catch up to the others, though she did spend more time keeping watch at their rear, in case the barbarians snuck up on them. They would have to leave their camp soon anyway. It was less than a day’s walk from ...
2022-05-02 13:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostYuriko’s sunblade glanced off the lead barbarian’s exposed Geist. The Radiant edge chipped at the Animus but didn’t burn it away. That threw her off for a moment, enough that her condensed Anima took a blow from the man’s axe.
The we...
2022-04-25 14:01:03 +0000 UTC View Post“Go! I’ll hold them back. Divert them!” Yuriko yelled at Gwendith and Desire.
“No, Yuri! We should stay together!” Gwendith protested, panic written all over her pretty face.
“Master…” Desire murmured. The petite Chaos ...
2022-04-25 13:45:00 +0000 UTC View PostThaer Surtsson gulped down the swill from a wooden mug. The stills barely made palatable ale now, from the lack of proper grain to make it. Instead, they’d been fermenting tree bark, blue-veined grass, and Chaos-formed flakes that didn’t taste...
2022-04-25 13:30:01 +0000 UTC View PostIt took a few days before they managed to defeat a group of scouting barbarians without ruining their faces. The problem wasn’t that they were difficult to defeat but that they ran away too quickly.
So much for their vaunted courage, Yurik...
2022-04-25 13:16:00 +0000 UTC View PostHearing Gwendith list down their objectives, Yuriko couldn’t help but think that she was out of her depth. She’s been to many battles now and she had never been in command effectively. The most she did was tell her second to act as she saw fit...
2022-04-25 13:01:03 +0000 UTC View PostGwendith blinked in surprise at the bloodlust rising from Yuriko.
“There are nearly forty thousand of them,” she said, “including women and children.”
“Oh,” Yuriko muttered, and the terror-inducing aura pulled back.

2022-04-18 14:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostGwendith had fallen asleep in Yuriko’s arms. Yuriko couldn’t help but stare at the once posh and dignified girl. Gone were the elaborate corkscrew curls and immaculately beautiful blonde hair. Gone were the bright skin and soft curves.

2022-04-18 13:15:01 +0000 UTC View Post“Ashley?”
The Songstress of Heartfelt Desire froze. The name tickled at her mind but not as much as the woman who looked at her now. Yes, she slaughtered all of her honour guard and looked almost ready to kill her too, but that face was...
2022-04-18 13:01:05 +0000 UTC View Post“The Chaos Lords are gone,” Sheamus muttered even as he shot a swarmling trying to climb Kalla’s hastily created frozen barrier. Pavo, their fifth member, shot a beam of coherent light through the barrier, which separated the light into vari...
2022-04-11 14:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostYuriko appeared on top of a hill, and she took in the Chaos below her with a single glance. That was the only time she had before the Chaos Lords struck.
Fri’Avgi appeared in her hands and with the second dance in ascendance, as well as th...
2022-04-11 13:45:01 +0000 UTC View PostSix Pearlescent Irons grunted in such dismay that the Songstress of Heartfelt Desire couldn’t help but look. The strange-looking woman, whose arms abruptly cut off just below the wrist, was the controller of the Chaos Interceptor Orb.

2022-04-11 13:31:00 +0000 UTC View PostSheamus Dorn cursed as he ducked out of the way of an errant crystal shard. The projectile smashed against the wall behind him, creating a small crater as the crystal shattered. His Protective Field was strong enough that he wasn’t harmed, thank...
2022-04-11 13:15:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe Veil of a Waypoint pulsed in front of Yuriko while she stared at it with some trepidation. Should she go through it or should she try to avoid it? Using Intent and Need to find a way through the Chaos Sea was erratic at best. She knew that she...
2022-04-11 13:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostYuriko glared at the drunk staggering away from her. Irritation, exhaustion, and the general stress of having found herself saddled with a fiance had made her temper more volatile. The unwelcome touch to her hair had simply been the breaking point...
2022-04-04 14:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostThe walls were mounted with Plasma Carronades every twenty paces or so. As soon as Yuriko entered the Waypoint, the hidden details cunningly omitted from the translucent Veil popped out.
The docks were set outside the walls, and under the ov...
2022-04-04 13:45:01 +0000 UTC View PostSwimming was much more tiring than Yuriko expected.
Cousin Miya and Ryoko had taught her a bit. After what she experienced in Kogasi, she knew that, as she travelled the Chaos Sea, it was only a matter of time before she found herself in the...
2022-04-04 13:30:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe alarm stone blared in her mind as soon as a foot crossed the threshold line. It was set nearly ten paces away from her lean-to shelter, which was really just a bunch of branches set against a broad tree. Yuriko’s view was limited by the smal...
2022-04-04 13:16:00 +0000 UTC View PostThis would be the third time she stepped into the Chaos Sea. The first and second times were accidents and both led to her banishment to a strange place. Now, it was a willing step, and she knew where she wanted to go.
The edge of the Veil w...
2022-04-04 13:00:09 +0000 UTC View Post“Please, young mistress! Please reconsider!” Ryoko begged on her knees while she had her arms wrapped around Yuriko’s leg.
For her part, Yuriko was in the middle of packing her gear when her attendant barged into the room and tried to ...
2022-03-28 14:00:08 +0000 UTC View Post“Are you even listening?” Yuriko asked crossly as she manipulated a pebble, picking it up from the ground just in front of her toes and flinging it at Lorcan’s forehead. The thirteen-year-old Davar boy had been staring fixedly at her, at her...
