Posted on August 29, 2008 by Aywren in Chapter 14“SoYa? Are you back?” AsaHi called, wiping her hands on a rag as she walked out towards the dining area.

Posted on August 29, 2008 by Aywren in Chapter 12The voice echoed into the dark recesses of TsuYa’s mind, slicing through the thick curtain that obscured his awareness.

Posted on August 29, 2008 by Aywren in Chapter 12“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.

Ch12-4: Darkened Gates
Posted on August 29, 2008 by Aywren in Chapter 12“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.
