A Tail’s Misfortune — Chapter Nineteen: Finding A Path

Kari closed her eyes, head resting against her arms as she thought.  Where did it all go wrong?  Was it always wrong to begin with?  I don’t know… She sighed as Holonie swallowed softly, her fearful scent tickling Kari’s nose.  “I guess I should start with the basics; those fox twins, Luna and Rayla, they

What Side Didn’t Know Vol.2 – A5,C5. Mild Days

I’m often reminded of the differences between the species at times like these. I’m hauling back trimmed logs, one in each hand.  The weight, probably several tons each. With my runes, it is quite the workout, but doable.  The bearfolk children are riding on said logs, having fun balancing. Occasionally, I rotate one, and most

A Tail’s Misfortune — Chapter Eighteen: Lost

Following the meeting with Mimi, Kari walked at the group’s tail, Olivia leading them.  Kari was operating on the last fumes of hatred she felt for her brother, the hope that he was alive so she could end his existence herself.  She did her best to silence the torrent inside by listening to their guide

The trees thinned out as we came closer to the continental ice pillar. “And here we are.”  The convict declared. “Huh.”  As the trees disappeared, the winds picked up.  Also, the ground was warm.

What Side Didn’t Know Vol.2 – A5,C3. Eerie

A Tail’s Misfortune — Chapter Sixteen: Laying A Foundation Pt. 1

Fen glared at Sora as she ascended the stairs, humans in-tow.  I hate her so much!  She has everything … just in the last day, she’s surpassed me by mountains … nothing in this life is fair!  She received personal training … personal, unique training from Inari … the actual Founder Inari … her aunt.

What Side Didn’t Know Vol.2 – A5,C2. Fair

Killing an orckin with my newly developed powers, and well trained control, is pretty simple.  It doesn’t matter if that practice was temporally accelerated, right? Anyway, I have tested myself a few times.  This time, I threw a straight-ish stick like a spear, and applied a certain rotation – based on the shape – with

A Tail’s Misfortune — Chapter Fifteen: A Deal Struck

Bathin sat back in his chair, eyes closed and grin in place as he contemplated his options; he spoke aloud, addressing the uninvited presence in the room.  “Myōbu are on their way—more than one?  If that is the case, then it would be quite a mess for me, but your arrival and recent events paint
