Plucked Raptor
\>While out in the forests to retrieve a weather balloon the uplift council lost track of, you run across an astounding sight huddled at the base of the tree the weather balloon crashed into \>A plucked tribal raptor girl \>She's a mess of a scales...
Where Kitsune Wait (Chapter 21)
I keep a hand upon the hilt of a dagger while Miyu leads us through the twisting halls of the kitsune's home. The sarugami 'guest' we guard, Taiki, keeps his head low and hands clasped where I can see. Our fluffy four-tail kitsune guide is as tense as...
Where Kitsune Wait (Chapter 6)
Many quiet days pass as I recuperate, winter's bite edging closer with every morning. During the first few days, Saki, Shizuka, and Rin watch over and attend to me, as I'm still weak and my broken arm impedes or slows a frustrating amount in...
Where Kitsune Wait (Chapter 8)
Saki and I scarcely rest. I don't know her reason, but the few times I drift asleep I jerk awake in terror moments later. She's merciful enough to not ask why. Morning arrives after far too long, and when it does we get ourselves cleaned up and stretch...
Where Kitsune Wait (Chapter 20)
A fine summer breeze ripples through the wheat fields and through the boughs of the old oak. I watch the sea, knowing it to be a vibrant dream of a home that never was. Even so the creek babbles nearby, rushing over stones and into the distant...
Sounds of Shyness
\>You take the trash out late at night \>Uneasily gripping your flashlight, with four nice and hefty D-cell batteries in it, the entire way \>Half the time you're out this late there's some weird, high pitched giggling noises in the distance when you...
Where Kitsune Wait (Chapter 7)
The rustle and whip of wind through trees keeps us company on our trip down the mountain. Saki sets a swift pace, her long legs unrestrained by her clothes, but she slows once we're near the area I guess to be Meiko and Kenta's grounds. The gnarled,...
Where Kitsune Wait (Chapter 22)
The pace Rin sets through the halls is too quick for conversation. Not that I can bear to say anything yet. We're both too worried about the unwelcome visitors and tense from the spell that attacked her home. More so, I fear what could've happened to...
Where Kitsune Wait (Chapter 26)
Every little sound in the forest, from wind in the branches to the few sticks I step on, tightens a knot between my shoulders. There's nothing to be done for it. Saki and I both keep a hand free for weapons should nekomata, monk, or some new danger...
Where Kitsune Wait (Chapter 23)
The stone steps are still dark with blood where I should have killed that half-kappa. I hear, more than I feel, the joints pop in my curling fists. This is the first sign of a fight I've seen, but I haven't dared slow to search or look behind me. ...
WKW Kitsune Character List
Rin - nine tails. Eldest sister, head of the family, master of the mountain. Blue eyed, she holds herself with the poise and nobility one would expect of her position. Like most kitsune, she's tall enough that Egil has to slightly look up to meet her...
Last Root Of Ngnun
Death's chill cut through the hot sun upon Zhaleh's folded wings. She clutched the poorly bandaged stump of her right shoulder, nothing remaining of that arm, and hurried down the old path towards the river. Blood soaked the cloth and dripped from her...
