    Private The Lonely Heart is a Hunter

    It wasn’t unusual for when someone finally came to that they ran off of instinct. It wasn’t unusual that if someone came to after a fight that they would swing at Lucero despite her healing them. When she had been younger, she had considered stopping, she had been the dam holding back their pain...

    It would be easy to kill him right now. It would be one of the easiest things Lucero would ever have to do. What she did now, using her own body to help shield his head from banging into stone, was harder. She had a knife. Even if she didn't have the knife tied to her waist, she had her hands...

    Private The Lonely Heart is a Hunter

    Shoulders lifted up close to her ears, her body doing everything it could to make her look small and unassuming. Before Lucero had a chance to dispute his claims that she thought him to be a fool -- because to think such a thing would make Lucero the fool instead -- there was a change with that...

    Private The Lonely Heart is a Hunter

    She had surprised Him? Lucero wasn’t the stealthy sort, not because she had chosen the path of a Knight and Healer, but because she made for an awful rogue. She didn’t like all the skin tight clothing on herself (it was never easy to get into) and had the unfortunate habit of not being able to...

    Private The Lonely Heart is a Hunter

    At least now she knew which stalls to avoid - and to keep Syr Silas, Yinka and Kaif away from. She didn't want him knowing that she was with others, if he had come her to do nothing other than make his presence known to her then it felt like he would consider toying with her by being close to...

    Private The Lonely Heart is a Hunter

    Stupid? The only stupid thing she had done last time was offer to help him. Was that her sin, offering help? Grinding her teeth together, thinking only about how she would never offer him any sort of help, Lucero stood still. He should be worried about her possibly stabbing him in the back. But...

    Private The Lonely Heart is a Hunter

    It wasn't hard following a line, all Lucero had to do was pay attention to the person in front of her. Even with the chorus of laughter, cheers and stringed instruments consuming the market square all around them, Lucero had no issues focusing her attention on the sound of moving feet. The line...

    Private The Lonely Heart is a Hunter

    "Let's go to Cornishcrest's Wine Festival," Syr Silas had prompted her earlier that month. He visited her every day he wasn't away to fulfil his Knightly duties. "We can visit the perfumer." Lucero pushed her bowl of half eaten corn mush away from her, the little bit of hunger she had shriveling...

    Private Born to Bloom or Meant to Wither [M]

    Good girl. Somewhere, deep down, in her little pit of agony, Lucero knew he was mocking her. But she didn't care because it gave her relief, for the briefest of moments. A whoosh of cool air - it didn't below there, caressing inside her head but there was a comfort to it. Like scratching...

    Private Born to Bloom or Meant to Wither [M]

    For that half second, Lucero’s smile is ever wider, her eyes radiant like dawn after a long, cold night. For that half second, she trusted her words had worked, trusted the man to want her help and to accept it. If only for that half second she realized it was too late, she could have pulled her...

    Private Born to Bloom or Meant to Wither [M]

    "Oh, okay." Lucero still had a hand on her dagger, watching whatever he was move out of her line of sight, heading elsewhere, seeing the invisible blackness remain within his silhouette. Being dismissed so easily did hurt her pride. Of course he didn't know that she had taken a baby that would...

    Private Born to Bloom or Meant to Wither [M]

    Lucero turned her ears towards him immediately. She was quick to bring her hand back, a bone-deep chill of fear as if she had just been submerged beneath a frozen lake. Then, there was calm. He did not attack her although his words were unnerving. Lucero took a shaky step back with her bad...
  13. Lucero

    Private Striving for Goodness While Cruel Men Win

    He took hold of her at just the right time. Lucero was long and lanky, as a child her mother and grandmother had fretted over her being too skinny and constantly worrying whenever she had gotten sick. Even as a knight and her following through on the diligent regimen of calisthenics every...

    Private Born to Bloom or Meant to Wither [M]

    Oh, yes, thank you, kind sir, that lady was awfully annoying, getting caught and stuck on fallen branch and thicket. Feel free to take her, I must be on my way, there's some more crabapples I haven't got to taste yet.... No, I won't be leaving with you, I have no desire to carry someone of your...

    Private Born to Bloom or Meant to Wither [M]

    [Content Warning - Intense violence and gore, mention/description of taboo sexual content.] Far away in North Illica, a small village made up of pygmy goblins was often never visited. They were a hostile sort, preferring to keep to themselves, quick to stab any newcomer that dared come onto...
