Prayer and Demon 12 - Returning to the MIssion

Ghost in the Stones 5 - Family Meeting and Neighbors

Prayer and Demon 14 - Last Echo
# Last Echo They followed the mountains for two more days. Tuli gradually regained her old, bouncy, slightly ditzy demeanor...along with a growing habit of randomly talking to herself. That took some getting used to, even though the group understood...
GitS 10 - Deep White (Part 2)
## Gritpaws and Fineclaws It was Dane who answered the door when the bell rang...and smirked at the now familiar frown waiting on the other side. “Hi! Come on in!” he greeted Oro and the line of Felines and Lionesses behind him, stepping back with a...

Ghost in the Stones 7 - The Huntress

GitS 18 - First Day of a New Life (Epilogue)
# First Day of a New Life (Epilogue) It was still early (relatively speaking) when Nayeli slipped out of bed and began getting dressed. She pulled on a modest button-down blouse and ankle-length skirt... neither of which had been worn before, to the...
GitS 16 - Escape!
# Escape! ## The Slime King He couldn't tell how long he'd slept, but Nayeli's knees were still under his head when he became aware of the world again. Opening his eyes slowly, the first thing to greet them was the Lioness' face, mouth hanging a...
