The Wolf Pact (Chapter 5)

The Interrogation Room THE DIRECTOR You know, I felt lucky when I heard that Espada was taking a gap year to figure out what she wanted to study. I thought ‘Yay! That’s one full-time superhero on the clock, and it’s the most powerful one!’ Then I turn on the twelve o’clock news to see her […]

Raydorn: The War in the Black (Chapter 25)

“Evil is beautiful, far too often.” Malum Chum, 448 A.C.A. Malum couldn’t quite tell if he was haunting old stomping grounds or they were haunting him. As he ran across the rooftops, lit by nothing but the moon’s light, he found himself trying to follow his old routes. He had to be careful not to […]

The Wolf Pack (Chapter 4)

The Magician THE HOOD Persistence doesn’t mean success, something that criminals for some reason cannot get through their heads. I didn’t know that when Claire tried to recruit me for her superhero team, I would have been joining a team right before they get sent out into the field. Being that half of them have […]

Raydorn: The War in the Black (Chapter 22)

“Fire destroys in a day what took the water and the wind a hundred years to grow.” – Dynastan Aiguo, 223 A.C.A. “Baa!” The screeching wail of an animal was followed by the drying taste of grass in her mouth.  “Baaa! Baaa!” Then came the screeching of another animal beside her, screaming as it was […]

Raydorn: The War in the Black (Chapter 21)

“The lesson is don’t go into the ocean during a storm, and then you won’t need Lapis.” – Astrid, First Disciple of Lapis, 448 A.C.A. “But we just got back!” Lucy complained.  “But this is one of our own that we need to save,” Quintus told her, trying to coax her from her tantrum.  She […]

Raydorn: The War in the Black (Chapter 20)

“Some people can find their own way. Some people need to be pushed off the cliff.” – Dynastan Ming of Susanna, 430 A.C.A. “You kids are gonna love them,” Astrid said, easily heard across Lucy’s whole ship as she talked to the kids, “they have really cool fins, and shark teeth, fish mermaids are so-”  […]

Raydorn: The War in the Black (Chapter 18)

“There is law even in the jungle.” – Malum Chum, 448 A.C.A. It was a strange sight to see a teenage girl on the back of a wild cat. Panthers weren’t supposed be big enough to support someone’s weight, and they’re certainly not supposed to let people ride them. People in general aren’t supposed to […]

Raydorn: The War in the Black (Chapter 17)

“Fire is not just destruction, it is the signifier of a chemical reaction. Fire is what we get when we exert so much power that something changes on the molecular level. That is fire. Fire is change.” – The Pennies, 448 A.C.A. Smoke and ash seems to follow me everywhere, Malum thought to himself as […]

Raydorn: The War in the Black (Chapter 16)

“There’s always a chance we could die, during each and every moment, we could lose our lives.” – Astrid, First Disciple of Lapis, 448 A.C.A. “We could hit the alleys, learn where our contacts live without drawing much attention,” Malum recommended as they walked into the town, confirming to Astrid that he must be Susannan. […]

Raydorn: The War in the Black (Chapter 15)

“Sight is possibly the most overrated of the senses. The sound of music, the scent of a rose, the touch of fire, and the taste of slow-cooked mermaid each more than make up for the worst their senses have to offer. There is nothing so beautiful that it makes up for the sight of a […]
