Gods of the Sky: The Eternal Balance, ch.6
Her vision was a blur, only able to discern shapes and shadows as she returned to the waking world. When her vision finally focused Natherael found herself laying on her back, staring up at a ceiling of stone awash with the wavering orange hue from the light of a fire. She lay in a large and ornate bed dressed in a satin gown, her body felt heavy and she could feel the side of her abdomen throbbing but there was no pain.
She turned her head and took in the room; tapestries hung from the walls, the windows were covered by deep red curtains, a table and chairs sat at the room's center with a woven rug beneath them. Tucked into the co

SoulEater: Nightmare ch.10
Corneille descended upon the city, with her claws outstretched she toppled one of the taller buildings as if it were a stack of blocks. She perched on the ruined stump of metal and mortar, throwing her pointed head skyward and filling the air with a piercing cry.
Kid peered out of the window in another room, watching every crow in the city flock to their mistress. He quickly left the window and returned to the conference room where everyone was packing their supplies and equipment as fast as they could.
“She’s going to tear the city apart.” He said, entering the room.
“Now that she knows we’re here she won&rsq

Minutes passed into hours and Natherael sat in a vacant armchair deep in slumber while the dragon cultist sat in a chair by the window, keeping a watchful eye on the street outside. He had served the cult since his birth, his passage into the group guaranteed due to his family, and he had never been fearful for his beliefs until now. Not only was he in service to a dragon cult but he was also harboring a Valdonan, he had made himself the ally to the two most hated races in the empire. It would have been one thing if the army had caught him but if the townsfolk did his safety was not guaranteed.
He heard the rustling of cloth and he

The Barricade: Five
You didn't close your eyes, you didn't sleep, you stayed awake and time passed far slower now. Who put you here? Why was it so important to guard this place and who were you guarding it from? These 'people' inside the Ward? Just what is the Ward, anyways? What's inside there? Once again you feel like you shouldn't be asking these things but for some reason they ate away at you.
You leave your chair and walk to the doorway opposite the barricade, this was the first time you've approached it since arriving. A sign hangs from the links about eye level to you that read "Entry Prohibited". Looking beyond the sign and the door itself you could bar

“So,” Soul began, “What did you want to talk about?”
He and Thane roamed the shelves deeper inside the room looking for any usable supplies or at least that was Thane’s excuse to pull Soul aside. Soul figured out Thane’s intentions easy enough and played along, it wasn’t until they were far enough in that he broke the silence.
Thane left the shelf he was inspecting and approached Soul, leaning in so they stood mere inches away from one another and their eye levels were even. “Look at my eyes.” Thane told him.
Shaking off the uncomfortable feeling of having another man so close to his fa

Natherael stood in the parlor of a small house nestled in the heart of the city, it was cold here with no fire burning in the hearth and only the dim glow of sparse candle light to reveal her surroundings. This house was not abandoned but it was the closest thing to it, the furniture was faded and in disrepair and anything of value such as paintings and the like were long removed leaving only faded marks on the walls.
Naschazel crossed the room from the door behind Natherael, she looked the place over and inspected the shutters and windows. "This is perfect." She said, turning back to Natherael and the man who had led them here who

The Barricade: Four
The black haired woman let go of the fence and folded her arms, causing the leash around the blond girl's neck to grow taught. "For someone who's been here for so long you know so little."
You leave your seat, causing the woman to take a step back, and face her. "What do you mean?" You ask. "I've only been here for an hour at the most." That's when you start to wonder; how did you get here anyway? You were charged with defending the barricade but you knew nothing about what lay beyond it nor what your life was like before this.
The woman smirked. "An hour?" She chuckled. "Try four weeks."
"Four weeks?" You ask. "How's that possible?"
"How

Black Star, with Tsubaki in her chain scythe form in his grasp, and Free lay in hiding beneath a pair of cars among the abandoned traffic in the street as a frenzy of crows flew by overhead. The trio had just left the pharmacy to get to their second objective when they were forced into hiding.
“What do think happened?” Tsubaki whispered.
“I dunno,” Black Star answered, “Something’s ruffled their feathers though.”
Free looked out from under his hiding spot as a murder passed overhead. “Do you think the others got spotted?” He asked.
“I hope they’re okay.” Tsubaki said.

The tavern fell silent at the very sound of the dragon god's name, the table of Odonans looked around nervously as an uncomfortable air fell over the room. Yet Naschazel seemed not to notice, she continued to look into Natherael's eyes and the disguised Valdonan couldn't help but fidget under the dragon's gaze.
Natherael swallowed hard. "T-the daughter of Durnnir?" She asked. "That means-"
"It means he is my father." Naschazel laughed. "The eldest of two, to be precise." She cocked her head to the side quizzically. "Is it that hard to believe?"
Natherael shook her head. "Suppose what you say it true-"
"Quite the s
