Posted on August 29, 2008 by Aywren in Chapter 08“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, undeterred. The flight had felt good even if the company wasn’t as enthusiastic. “Something’s going [...]

Posted on August 29, 2008 by Aywren in Chapter 08“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.

Ch8-1: Father and Son
Posted on August 29, 2008 by Aywren in Chapter 08“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 branches above the two warriors swaying.

Ch7-9: Cleft’s Passage
Posted on August 11, 2008 by Aywren in Chapter 07“I sure hope he knows where he’s going,” SoYa muttered, half to himself, half to the plume of white that tracked his breath in the cold air.

Ch7-7: Going Back
Posted on August 11, 2008 by Aywren in Chapter 07“AsaaaaaHiiiiiiiii?” She heard a voice cry out her name. Then another voice echoed it. The girl blinked awake at the sound, eyes blurring as the sunlight hit her full force. It took a long moment before she remembered where she was and what she was doing. Zemi! The memories of the night leapt into her [...]

Ch7-6: Edge of Chaos
Posted on August 11, 2008 by Aywren in Chapter 07A terrible, forlorn howl shattered the calm of the shadowed-shrouded hills, startling AsaHi out of her half-asleep state. Frightened, her green eyes darted across the fire towards where the others were sitting. Kudako’s ears were flattened back against his skull. A rather frightening scowl twisted his normally quiet face. Zento must have taken notice of [...]

Ch7-3: Broken Boundaries
Posted on August 11, 2008 by Aywren in Chapter 07SoYa hissed as a sharp, stinging pain sliced through his upper arm. His defenses fell as the last of his concentration shattered away. The pain leapt on him from every direction, long, thin slits of agony rippling across his body. If the weapon had been a blade, the Apprentice he would have been slashed into [...]

Posted on August 11, 2008 by Aywren in Chapter 07“Master Kudako?” “Hrm?” the Dragon peered up from where he was assembling the timber for the fire. “What is that dark area out there?” AsaHi pointed.

Ch6-5: Mending Matters
Posted on August 11, 2008 by Aywren in Chapter 06They found a cave to take shelter in for the night. Though it was surprisingly warm inside once the fire was lit, their clothes were already soaked from the biting rain. It left AsaHi with a deep, bone-chilling coldness that even a fresh change of clothes couldn’t mend. The girl couldn’t help but think that [...]
