Burdens - Chapter 14: Rise

Burdens - Chapter 96: Soon

Burdens - Chapter 74: Problems

Burdens - Chapter 28: Confluence

Burdens - Chapter 91: Afterthought
Chapter 91: Afterthought Their date had concluded: they had spent time together, learned what they could, and even had two meals and a movie. It was as the fox had imagined it to be, though somewhat less magical, of course. Still, he enjoyed himself,...
Burdens - Chapter 8: Desert
