Snake on a Plane
The pale white-blue curve of the sky below fuzzed into the dark expanse of the vault of space above. The temperature, for a while rising slowly (though still painfully cold), had begun to drop again. For a few moments the Latios drifted in silence,...
Dark Stalker, Light Idol
Fifty feet. That's the closest she had ever managed, watching as the white fox made her way around the stadium. She would sometimes shift tentatively closer, but the tightly packed crowd felt like a vice on her heart whenever she tried. It might as...
