<< 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 26th, 2526 | Midmorning] Kyle barely slept. The guards brought in a medic to ensure Sebastian wouldn’t die on their watch, but his breathing sounded horrible. So much so, he and Theron agreed to take turns keeping watch through the night. In the end, it didn’t matter because … More The Battle of Heart and Mind 3.07
<< 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.

<< Previous | First | Next >> [Valcrest Forest | Spiritus 9th, 2526 | Early Evening] Theron always considered manual labor a good distraction from unwelcome thoughts.

<< 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
