Ch13-1: Lei’ Igro
Posted on August 29, 2008 by Aywren in Chapter 13“Lei’ Igro! Lei’ Igro!” the familiar chorus of jeers rang from the group of Cyngan children who had gathered behind. They always followed Suzume and Lucci at a safe distance — far enough to run if they needed to, close enough for the words to still sting. “Oooooh!” the black haired girl turned on them, [...]

Ch12-10: Afterwards
Posted on August 29, 2008 by Aywren in Chapter 12For 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 then, something changed. A shift of consciousness within his mind. There came a stirring within [...]

Ch12-2: Chaos’ Mark
Posted on August 29, 2008 by Aywren in Chapter 12“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 way. “Yes, that’s right?” TsuYa gave a startled glance up from his thoughts and lingering [...]

Ch12-1: The Return
Posted on August 29, 2008 by Aywren in Chapter 12“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 from the compound and greet the Dreigiau’s return. The dim halls that were usually still [...]

Ch11-6: Dark Reflections
Posted on August 29, 2008 by Aywren in Chapter 11The 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 he would find himself. Part of him wanted nothing more than to remain curled in [...]

Book 2 Chapter 22
Posted on August 29, 2008 by Aywren in Book 2“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 be uncomfortable, but warm enough that they prefered sitting in the shade of the compounds. [...]

Book 2 Chapter 15
Posted on August 29, 2008 by Aywren in Book 2TsuYa found himself trapped inside the 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 his senses, making them writhe. The same eerie mechanism stood in the center of the room. [...]

Book 2 Chapter 8
Posted on August 29, 2008 by Aywren in Book 2‘When people are bored, a little something of their true nature comes out.’ That’s what Father once said, long ago. Maybe that’s why TsuYa rarely allowed himself to become bored if he could help it. He sat on the lower slope of a hill, as far away from JouKa as he could. Every now and [...]

Book 1 Chapter 46
Posted on August 11, 2008 by Aywren in Book 1TsuYa sat at the edge of the Island. Every morning he came to watch the fog burned away. It unfurled in a silent ritual until the mountains below emerged a deep green-grey, like a gift offered up, cupped in the palms of the earth. The clinging mists continued to shift, rising to play beaded dew [...]

Book 1 Chapter 45
Posted on August 11, 2008 by Aywren in Book 1The sunshine was perfect. The twittering birds were perfect. The way the grass played in the wind was perfect. The sparkling blue spray of water streaming down into the pond was perfect. The sound of the leaves sighing in harmony was… You guessed it. Perfect. And TsuYa couldn’t stand it. Give me something — anything [...]
