Vassalized Earth: Resistance
Resistance It was the day before I was to meet with Argus and head to the party. Naturally, I was busy working. I do set my own hours, that’s the best thing about owning your own business, but this also meant that when a...
Vassalized Earth: The Trophy

The Duel Club
The Duel Club My parents did not approve of my decision to join the local Duel Club for its annual exhibition. No, in fact, they were downright aghast when I announced it, much to my confusion. I thought it a bit hypocritical of them, for they had...
APRIL FOOLS! The Fox General: Slave of the Wolves

The Chained Geomancer: Sold

Vassalized Earth: The Party
What the hell was I doing here? That was all I could think as the gray-stone mansion revealed itself in a clearing in the woods below the Lift-Copter. It looked like an old movie set, at least that's what everyone who grew up before the occupation...
The Fox General: The Siege of Pest
The Siege of Pest _A Dictator must be of sound morality and unquestionable character._ _He must act with righteousness and justice on all occasions._ As promised, we let the wolves go mostly unharmed the next day. There had been one only one case of...
Vassalized Earth: Final Days of Freedom
Final Days of Freedom **Day 1** I didn't know how much longer I had in this camp. I didn't even really know who would take ownership of me, though what I saw as most obvious seemed reprehensible beyond comprehension. What I did know...
