Aion's Rebirth - Exes, Chapter 1
Thousands of stars opened up above me, twinkling in the dark like fireflies. My eyes drank them in as I lay on my back, soft smile playing across my muzzle and large ears twitching ever so slightly above me. Many a day would go by where everything...
Aion's Rebirth - Exes, Chapter 6
Sadly, my first experience arriving at the massive walls of the capital, and being led through the huge gates, and even going along the side of the absolutely stunning royal palace, was all dampened by me wondering how I was going to hide the massive...
Aion's Rebirth - Exes, Chapter 7
Sighing, I relaxed in the pool, letting the hot water wash over my lower back. It hadn't taken the girls long to find their alchemical supplies, and now I had a full glass of water I was downing, as a chaser to _both_ a stamina and a regeneration...
Aion's Rebirth - Kouta, Chapter 1
Stupid! I was so... stupid! Yeah, it was a good way to make some extra credits on the side, but... There I sat, on the sidelines, to the right of the grazing table, crystal tablet in paw. The suit felt bulky around me, yet tight...
Aion's Rebirth - Kouta, Chapter 2
Nervous was an understatement, admittedly. No, I'd go more for absolutely terrified. My mind was spinning as I tried to come to terms with everything that had happened. Being mocked, bullied, and injured by the likes of Vikhor was...
Aion's Rebirth - Public Transit 1
The automated carriage gave another jar, and I rocked and shifted to the movements as we turned the corner. Guess it was a necessary evil for this large of a city, but that didn't mean I had to like it. Given my large form, I was over twice the width...
Aion's Rebirth - Exes, Chapter 5
My ears folded back as I listened to one of the heavy chimes sounding off behind me. By the tone, I could tell it was the central camp one. Three rings later, I groaned and rolled my head back, looking up at the sky for a moment as I sat in the water....
Aion's Rebirth - Exes, Chapter 4
Sitting on the edge of the cliff, I peeked over the side and watched Exir slowly making his way lower and lower into the canyon. He was supported by climbing rope, thankfully, and would anchor more bolts in as he went down. Sighing, I shifted my...
Aion's Rebirth - Exes, Chapter 3
I was on auto for the rest of the day for the most part. Master Chronak started slow with only basic transmutation theory, but how it applied to more advanced techniques instead. Probably a good thing given how frazzled my nerves were. It felt like I...
Aion's Rebirth - Exes, Chapter 2
Life has a way of moving really fast when it was least convenient for me. The next few days became a blur of awkwardness and frustration, trying to introduce Nara to various people around the camp, explaining the story and situation at least a dozen...
Aion's Rebirth - Kouta, Chapter 3
Taking another sip of my chocolate, frosted milkshake, I set it back down on the café table next to me, then returned my attention to the illusionary display drifting in front of me, over my lap. I was on the top floor of the café terrace, back...
Aion's Rebirth - Not Exactly Due Process 1
My eyes slowly narrowed, watching from the craigs above the clearly abandoned, ruined watchtower. It was built partly into the cliff, and it looked like some of the stone was hewn right out of it, forming a rough tower to shield from the elements...
