Defenders (Part 27)

August 6, 2018August 5, 2018 N.E.W.

Arthur received his data-pad and looked at the screen. It had a message in some language he couldn’t read but only after a moment it adjusted to English and it clearly read: Squad A107, room 29. A small map diagram popped up on the screen as well and arrows directed him to what he presumed… Continue reading Defenders (Part 27)

Home (Part 8)

July 28, 2018July 30, 2018 N.E.W.

Thomas found his room had been changed into a study of sorts by his mom, but his bed was still there, and most of his stuff, only organized differently… it didn’t matter he thought, as he dropped his bag on the floor and grabbed a clean change of clothes.

Home (Part 3)

Thomas blinked slowly as the darkness around him flashed like stars. He wasn’t sure how long he had been lying there in the bottom of the gulley.

“You’re here early Jin-Dono,” Shiina said to me as I walked in. I gave her a weary smile and sat down at the bar. “Not too early when you’ve had my last couple of days,” I responded as she poured me a small cup of sake.

Jin and the Solstice of Blood (Part 42)

May 18, 2018 N.E.W.

Through the crowd, I could see a familiar figure. Shi Fan. I once again readied my sword and prepared to defend myself. There were two guards flanking him who also jumped into ready stances. “Yashimuro-dono. You can stop there.” He held up his hand. “I come in peace.” He continued as he moved forward. “What is… Continue reading Jin and the Solstice of Blood (Part 42)
