Introduction Book 3: The Walking Man
“It’s Daddy!” SaRa announced with a squeal. The first sprouts of green had made their way up through the receding blanket of snow outside the mouth of the little cave. The sky took on a friendly color as the winter more »
Ch8-1: Father and Son
“Zento,” Kudako muttered with a grimace. “Stop pacing.” The winged man paused in stride to retort, “I’m not pacing!” “You’re nervous enough to make the trees shake.” As if on cue, a whisper of breeze swept in and sent the more »
Ch8-2: Nightmare, Reality
What is this place? TsuYa peered around the strange chamber cautiously. His limbs felt suspended and his motions, even walking, odd and under-water. Light flickered from above through draping veils of various color, casting skittering shadows on the wall. The more »
Ch8-3: Flawed
“Where did Mister Kudako go?” AsaHi questioned, taking note of twilight’s arrival. “To change,” Zento answered plainly. “It takes him two and a half hours to change his clothes?” the girl asked in an incredulous tone. And SoYa thinks I’m more »
Ch8-4: The First Time
SoYa and AsaHi had been sitting in silence ever since Father and Kudako had left. The forest around them dripped with twilight mists brought on by strange heat that rose from the mossy floor. The fading sunlight streamed down in more »
Ch8-5: Banners of the Ghost Clan
“So… what’s got your scales out of whack, ‘Dako?” Zento’s eyes flicked over to where the Dragon was crouching upon a low-rising spike of stone. A gruff sound was the only reply. “Don’t give me that,” he fanned his wings, more »
Ch8-6: Athrylith
“SoYa…” AsaHi was folding and unfolding her hands in her lap. “I’m really worried.” The Apprentice was taking his turn at the afternoon meal, cooking small slabs of meat on a wide, flat platter. The color had begun to return more »
Ch9-1: Brunswik
“You think it’s that weird that I can talk?” the huge crimson Dragon chuckled. The vibration shook every bone in AsaHi’s body from where she lay flat against the massive beast’s neck. “I guess not… now that I consider it,” more »
Ch9-2: Neffie
‘When people are bored, a little something of their true nature comes out.’ That’s what Father had once said, long ago. Maybe that’s why TsuYa rarely allowed himself to become bored if he could help it. He sat on the more »
Ch9-3: Spiral Warrior
They broke from the shadows of the forest – two winged harbingers of doom! Zento landed lightly on his toes, shrugging the last of the moss from his shoulders. In the future he would choose his ambush spots better, away more »
Ch9-4: Wyndor
“Zemi… made all this?” AsaHi gasped as she slipped from Brunswik’s back into the light of the Great Chamber. For a moment, she was far too dazzled to even think, the prismic embrace wrapping around her in a symphony of more »
Ch9-5:Potential
“Can I look yet?” “Not yet! Keep walking!” AsaHi shuffled SoYa along, covering his eyes with her palms. He managed a full ten steps before he asked again, playfully, “How about now?” “SoYa! Keep going. I’ll tell you when!” the more »
Ch9-6: At the Outlook
“Ah, so you’ve found your way to the Outlook, have you?” the gentle, melodic voice came from somewhere behind. SoYa peered back over his shoulder, realizing that someone had followed him. Strangely enough, he was not startled by the Lady more »
Ch9-7: Drei’distau
It had become an everyday habit for AsaHi – an early afternoon walk with Zemi. Sometimes he would take her through the deep caverns of the expanses of Wyndor. Other times, he’d introduce her to the tall mountain ranges and more »
Ch9-8:Truth’s Aftermath
AsaHi’s mind had unfolded for Zemi like a map. A map to vastly extraordinary things. Her abilities were so easily unlocked due to all of the time AsaHi had spent with the Dragons in Wyndor. That had been the chief more »
Ch10-1: Nightmare, Revisited
TsuYa found himself trapped inside the great, dark chamber of his dreams once more. The same dull grime blanketed the floor. The same dark lumps of decay slumped in the far corner. The scent of stale blood and suffering filled more »
Ch10-2: Shadowed Homelands
“You were going soft on the prisoner,” Kudako critiqued with a low voice. The Dragon did not look back as he stepped over a blackened lump on the ground. It seemed to be a part of the decadent, half-crushed building more »
Ch10-3: The Guide
The whole thing reeked like one big set up. And it had really put ZenToYa out on the edge. Am I just expected to be used to this sort of thing by now? After all, Zento’s whole life had been more »
Ch10-4: Dark Vengance
-They steal souls, Kudako. Suck the heart right out of people. Then, they send the shells of men out on the battlefield. All in the name of their idea of perfection…- His brother’s words haunted him here, in the homelands more »
Ch10-5: The Speaker
“You cannot be here!” a woman’s high-pitched voice squealed. Like fingernails on slate. Zento couldn’t help but wince, stopping his advance more because of the ear-shattering sound rather than the demand itself. Shoulders back, hair tied away from his face more »
Ch10-6: Aur
Zento could hear the hollow sound of his breath expanding and contracting around him in the narrow corridor. No matter what he did, he couldn’t make the sound any less nervous. No matter how firm his footsteps sounded as he more »
Ch10-7: Spiral’s Aftermath
The silence after the storm fell over the lands of the Spiral. Zento could feel it shiver through the forests, a whisper of change sweeping upon the sooty wind. The same shiver rippled over his own body as he strode more »
Ch11-1: Truth or Dare
“Truth or dare?” JouKa prodded him. “This again?” TsuYa grumbled, eyeing her from where he sat, back leaning against the base of smooth white building. The afternoon sun was growing warmer as summer came on. Not so warm as to more »
Ch11-2: Earthian
“He’s not responding to anything,” AsaHi’s worried eyes lifted as SoYa entered the room. “What do we do?” “Still?” the Apprentice frowned, setting a tray down on the stone wall-table. He brought in a small bowl, the scent of warm more »
Ch11-3: The Mediator
“Alright, how’s that feel for you?” ZenToYa asked as the blue healing glow faded from the edge of his fingertips. He drew his hands back away from the creature’s leg. A pair of bright golden eyes shown down at him more »
Ch11-4: Denial and Desire
“Zemi,” KaiShi’s voice drifted up quietly from somewhere just behind the Dreigiau, “I think we need to talk.” There was the sound of importance in the statement. An irrefutable solidity to her voice. Zemi recognized the sound when he heard more »
Ch11-5: Confrontation
AsaHi was laughing easily, curled in the giant coils of the big crimson Dragon’s tail. Brunswik, she had said his name was. And though SoYa had been somewhat shy of approaching most of the Dragons in Wyndor, the Apprentice had more »
Ch11-6: Dark Reflections
The burning in his chest tore TsuYa from the darkness of his sleep-haze with a sickly choke, his breath wheezing between his lips in labored gasps. Again… this dream…nightmare… whatever… He didn’t need to open his eyes to know where more »
Ch11-7: A Father’s Request
“Your spirit is in great turmoil, ZenToYa.” The warrior startled in surprise at the unexpected sound of the voice, his own tone reflecting his puzzlement, “Aur?” Despite the amount of time that Zento had spent there in the small room more »
Ch11-8: Of The Old Age
“SoYa, talk to me! What’s going on?” Father’s face rippled in a blur of worry and fatherly concern. Kneeling, the winged man placed a hand on both of SoYa’s shoulders, pulling the Apprentice to face him. “Father,” SoYa’s voice was more »
Ch11-9: The Nature of Confusion
“Don’t go that way!” the small green Dragon squeaked as SoYa walked by. The creature was scuttling the opposite way, finned ears pinned back against his skull. “Why?” the Apprentice asked, stopping in his tracks. After the long talk with more »
Ch12-1: The Return
“There are Dragons on the horizon!” a voice called from the hall outside of TsuYa’s door. “Lord Zemi is coming!” There was a great stirring that followed the sound of the call, the Cyngan all in a flurry to rush more »
Ch12-2: Chaos’ Mark
“So you are TsuYa, the son of ZenToYa?” the deep, calm voice intoned across the expanse of the Gathering Room. Now that the welcoming festivities were over, sound seemed to carry and stretch through the open space in an unusual more »
Ch12-3: Trine’s Dawning
“Girls? What are you doing here?” Zemi asked, realizing instantly that he wasn’t alone upon arriving at the Host Gate. -We could ask you the same thing,- Zazo gave a thin, wolfish grin. Of course, that probably was due to more »
Ch12-4: Darkened Gates
“What are we supposed to be waiting here for again?” TsuYa asked, shivering into the depths of his robes against the bite in the air. His breath clouded out in great puffs of white as he spoke. Everywhere Zento looked, more »
Ch12-5: The Nefol Spire
“Hedd-ynad!” SoYa exclaimed for the fifth time in the space of ten minutes. He clung tightly to AsaHi from behind, head ducked down, eyes clamped shut in the howling face of the wind. Their cloaks snapped around them in the more »
Ch12-6: The Bane
“It felt more real in my dreams…” TsuYa murmured as the door to the chamber fell open to Zazo’s command. There, stretching before him was the room of his nightmares, which was, much to his surprised a place that was more »
Ch12-7: Escape from Nefol
The voice echoed into the dark recesses of TsuYa’s mind, slicing through the thick curtain that obscured his awareness. His body felt heavy, as if it was no longer his own. -TsuYa, open your eyes…- The voice prodded him again, more »
Ch12-8: Sacrifice
AsaHi’s scream was sharp in the air as SoYa felt himself thrown, scattered across the floor. Then he began to slide. The entire Spire was leaning, groaning as the two Arweinydd locked in upon each other in the throws of more »
Ch12-9: True. Solid. Unyielding.
A dull, pounding numbness filled Zemi’s being. The heaviness of Chaos hung within the back of his mind. His eyes flicked down as a strange pulse rippled from the ground, tremulous through his wavering form. Everything within him responded with more »
Ch12-10: Afterwards
For a long time, there was nothing but wavering darkness behind SoYa’s eyes. A stiffness hung over his body as his limbs refused to acknowledge his mastery over them. The feeling of time having passed in long, deep sleep. But more »
