<< Previous | First | Next >> [Wakefield Village | Lacus 23rd, 2526 | Early Evening] Dani enjoyed being in the forest, even in the bitter cold of winter. A five-day trip to Newhaven was no problem. Getting into the city was a different experience. The Wolfpack had the means to get around unseen; passages unknown to the rest of … More The Battle of Heart and Mind 3.08
<< Previous | First | Next >> [City of Blackpond | Lacus 25th, 2526 | Early Afternoon] Kyle froze at the gates. The city walls loomed several meters above him; worn, battle-scarred, but intimidating nonetheless. Blackpond was tainted with bad memories: Shitty orphanage cots, cold nights in abandoned buildings, scorching anger burning in his veins, filling his lungs, fighting to … More The Battle of Heart and Mind 3.06
<< Previous | First | Next >> [Hunters Outpost | Lacus 15th, 2526 | Mid-morning] Sebastian didn’t know if they’d gotten through to Theron, or just wore him down, but after that first dinner with the group, he began to slowly integrate into the Hunters’ routine. He still slept in the same tent he used for camping, but closer to … More The Battle of Heart and Mind 3.05
<< Previous | First | Next >> [Valcrest Forest | Spiritus 9th, 2526 | Early Evening] Theron always considered manual labor a good distraction from unwelcome thoughts. His deforestation, as Sebastian called it, yielded a decent amount of firewood to keep the forge running and the towers warm. Once Gerald learned of the mess they’d made on their first outing, … More The Battle of Heart and Mind 3.04
<< Previous | First | Next >> [Wolves Camp | Spiritus 2nd, 2526 | Early Morning] “I can’t believe I’m the one saying this for once: that’s a terrible idea.” Lena hummed into her cup of tea. She hated eating breakfast in the dining hall; too crowded, the only reason she’d gone was to talk to Dani. “I can’t stall it … More The Battle of Heart and Mind 3.03
<< Previous | First | Next >> [The Outpost | Spiritus 1st, 2526 | Sunrise] Sebastian woke to an empty room. The first day of the year wasn’t quite as exciting as Creation Day. Kyle wasn’t in bed; he likely woke up early to check the multiple rabbit traps he’d laid out around the Outpost. There was no other reason why … More The Battle of Heart and Mind 3.02
Heya, peeps! Blackbird here! Sorry for not uploading a chapter in so long. I still haven’t regained full movement on that injured finger, but I’m able to type now. So onto Arc 03 and, hopefully, back to our normal release schedule! As an extra treat and a thank you to our lovely readers and followers, … More The Battle of Heart and Mind 3.01
<< Previous | First | Next >> [Valcrest Plains | Helios 3rd, 2519 | Midday] “Your mother told me she plans to move you to more isolated accommodations soon. Is that so?” Lena hummed agreement, eyes wandering across the flower-infested fields rather than focusing on the Healer. The sun was at its highest point and the cacophony of colors did nothing … More Interlude 04: Awakening
<< Previous | First | Next >> There was a very obvious reason why Peace chose the Plains to build her home. It was the tranquility in the sight of tall grass swaying across gentle rolling hills to the cool afternoon breeze, in the scent of flowers permeating the air from the seemingly endless fields, in the way the … More Interlude 03: Farewell
<< Previous |First| Next >> [Newhaven |Tempus 20th, 2525 | Early Afternoon] In the earliest days of Valcrest, when the Gods still walked the Mortal Realm, one of War’s Generals asked the Twin for his thoughts on forgiveness. War’s answer was simple: “Destroy your enemies, then forgive yourself.” Unfortunately, no answers are simple in the minds of mortals, and … More The Heart of The Forest – Epilogue
