Darkness and Starlight 13 - A Mother's Day
Saving up for a trip to the islands was no small feat. Lavalava Island was cheap, but it was also substantially closer to the mainland than Yoshi's Island was, far far away to the southwest towards Dinosaur Land. It would take some time before Koopin...
Darkness and Starlight 12 - A Day At The Races
A few months had passed since Koopin's victory in Rogueport. McGoombus had kindly given Koopin his new star, a shiny blue one that he safely kept away alongside Catherine's pink one in his drawer, as well as revealing the next opponent via a riddle....
Darkness and Starlight 10 - A Town of Thieves
After a few days of sailing across the sea, the skyline of Rogueport soon came into view for the passengers aboard the ship. A murky brown outline thinly spread across the estuary, a small river flowing out into the sea from the right side of the town....
Mushrooms, Turtles and Pipes, Oh My! 15 - Another Mansion
Stepping into the grand entrance hall of the dark "abandoned" mansion, James began to scan the area cautiously. It was quite an impressive place, a curtained staircase to his left and a worn but pricey-looking sofa to his right. The sofa had its own...
Mushrooms, Turtles and Pipes, Oh My! 11 - Yoshis Aplenty
Despite the multitude of technicolour dinosaurs that existed in the village, it was quite a small place to navigate around. The local general store was the most prominent building, marked by a fire flower as its sign like all item shops across the...
Mushrooms, Turtles and Pipes, Oh My! 10 - To Southern Seas
The next morning, James met up with Koopin once more as he planned to stay the day with his parents, to catch up and reimmerse himself within the daily hustle and bustle of his hometown. James came along, looking over Shelldon's store while avoiding...
All Things Quiet And Sweet 14 - You Have No More Excuses
The central lobby already gave him shades of the orphanage in his memory. Coat hangers with nametags upon a rack, proud little slogans dusted over with years of neglect. The wooden doors creaked as he pushed into the main hallway, the light from the...
All Things Quiet And Sweet 11 - Shades of Past
A terrible black sky hung above him, far worse than the night in the amusement park. This was an unearthly darkness, the kind of darkness that was not night, but pure black. He could see clouds hang above him, rusted brown like a terrible smog. The...
All Things Quiet And Sweet 10 - Chiaroscuro
Finally reaching the foot of the main attraction, James gazed upwards into the black foggy sky. The rollercoaster track towered above him, as still as a tombstone. The track seemed to be offline, yet the carriages were nowhere to be seen. This wasn't...
All Things Quiet And Sweet 5 - Fear of the Blood
The creatures' outlines were different from that of the emaciated zombies of before. There was a body, a corpse at the very least despite having no arms, one of two trudging towards him, one of which was most certainly feline. But the head was a lot...
All Things Quiet And Sweet 1 - A Blind Run
**THE CHRONICLES OF FINALGAMER _All Things Quiet and Sweet_** _"A sin takes on new and real terrors when there seems a chance that it is going to be found out." Mark Twain_ Fog. A symbol of fear, obscurity and distortion. To twist faces and...
Love in the Time of Chorrol 4 - The Devil
Knowing the sewers were bad enough in his own world, he dreaded what a medieval one would be like. Sure enough, it was rank, slimy, and cavernous like any good sewer should be. Already finding himself within a large central area, James readied his...
