    Private The Death of Virtue

    Her ears flicked when he pointed, pale head lifting to catch sight of the distant tower-- a dark shape riding the crest of a lonely hill, reaching up towards the heavens. The ‘safe-place’ was not the towers from foal-tales, and they certainly couldn't compare to the bastion beneath the tree that...

    Private The Death of Virtue

    Fair? If the heat of ones face could be palpable from a distance, then it possibly felt like Roki was on fire; she uttered no correction, if only to spare him the shame he had seemingly bought upon himself. If only two-leggeds were always this kindly… the natural ego of the Unicorn made...

    Private morituri te salutant [M]

    It had been carried on the wind. A minute but terrible scent, the acrid tang of blood mingling with the scent of bark and wild-flower alike-- and she ignored it. Lia was far more concerned by the harsh chittering of a fawn-coloured hare ensnared in wire, the translucent material stained red...

    Private The Death of Virtue

    “And if you are not careful, the goodness of your heart will get you killed.” Wasn’t that how it often went? Did not knights of old get their stories spun into tapestries because of their heroic deaths, more-so than their valiant lives…? Illia realized that beneath the pain a strange sort of...

    Private The Great (Tiny) Escape

    It was felt, but not understood; words of power, for things that communicated primarily with them. Illia believed her. She would have done so even if the echoes of the whisper had not perked her feathered ears. “... I know you will. There is nothing as changing as peace.” Peace brought the...

    Private The Death of Virtue

    His words played about in her skull, but she did not grant him an answer. Roki would never understand the shame of a great beast, how dragons mourned the loss of their scales, how the leviathans wept invisible tears for the empty seas, how the Celestials stared down from the heavens to see their...

    Private Baptism By Fire

    The ignoring of their questions caused the circle to explode into a slight ruckus as they began chattering amongst themselves once again in hushed voices; the large, nude, bearded man abandoned his women to wander up to the stranger with a boldness that spoke of certainty… but when he opened his...

    Private The Great (Tiny) Escape

    The assumption did not need to be said aloud; it was written upon Thraah’s face, like clouds rolling in to dull the sunshine of the moment. Lithe ears lowered upon her head as Lia drew closer to the other gently. The other was uttering words with emotion somehow stronger than her roaring of glee...

    Private The Death of Virtue

    The injured beast stood still as Roki worked the rope, her leonine tail rounding itself in pretty circles as it forever chased its end to no avail. He himself had been chasing what appeared to be a never ending length of rope before its end was revealed with his speedy work-- a lasso about the...

    Private Baptism By Fire

    The threat falling from Walters lips only stoked a passion within him; it was not the danger to himself that spurred him, but the desire to be with his beloved wife afar by the fires of the unknown. A breathless gasp, a stumble and trip to his hands, and then a voice welling with emotion--...

    Private The Great (Tiny) Escape

    “I think anyone has the capacity to be good--” As the other devolved into a horrible mess of shapes and blurred body parts, Illia took a step back to avoid catching any of the salty pigs juices upon her. She wanted to say that it was easy to be ‘bad’. It took less caring and less effort, but...

    Private The Death of Virtue

    It was not lightning, nor was it fire. It was something else, something shining brilliantly like a crescent moon brought to earth and pinned there just for him; but it was no moon, neither. It was all angles, the creation of light that briefly appeared before his head, the barely held-together...

    Private Baptism By Fire

    “... Outsider.” Spoken after a pregnant pause fringed only by distant voices muffled by the forests depth. It was a complete break from the manic way he had rambled before, but surprisingly there was very little malice in the blind mans tone; usually these sort of affairs forbid others getting...

    Private The Great (Tiny) Escape

    The young unicorn birthed an idea the moment she saw the other devour the chicken; was it the excitement of a heist gone right…? Was it the acceptance of something, someone else that saw her for what she was, and did not immediately seek to kill her? Was it the warm sun about her fur as she...

    Private Baptism By Fire

    His eyes spied a brilliance somewhere afar. It were as if sparklings of snow peaked precariously through the winding ruffage, the diamond-shine of something unusual. Something static yet living that caught the light like stained glass but a hundred and fifty feet away that came with every blink...
