    Private Guilty as Sin

    Lila took her time in surveying all the boxes. She could see from the slight scrapes in the white paint that either high or low were the most popular places to put in tokens. It wasn't that she could blame them, the odds made far more sense, and in the back of her mind, she could do most of the...

    Private Taken Like a Leaf in the Wind

    Having grown up in the capital, both Lila and Scriloc continued to hold the same faces they had made since climbing the hill. Lila looked angry and tired, Scriloc looked tired and unaware of the world around him. The drums were a nice touch, something that only Magus Montefalcon could feel...

    Private Taken Like a Leaf in the Wind

    Lila was thankful for the reprieve she received at the foot of the hill, greeted by legionnaires and a man whose white and gold uniform glowed all the brighter against the black walls of the fort behind him. She tried to catch her breath, forcing herself upright, the straps of the back slipping...

    Private Guilty as Sin

    Lila bit her lip, keeping words trapped within her mouth. She thought about telling him how he'd only be able to own the casino if he had one coin and the right genius-- and she liked to think of herself as the only real genius one met once in a lifetime. Geniuses were rare, like her, and she...

    Her grip was tight and hardly polite, but Lila didn't care, her gaze beseeching and severe all at once as she waited with bated breath. He had looked annoyed at being interrupted, but a little less so the next second. Lila figured he had expected someone else, or maybe he didn't like being poked...

    "Free... Cities?" She was appalled and disheartened all at once. Lila gaped at the Deva, unable to understand how someone as powerful as Mathis could be a sellsword from the Free Cities. There was unease in her eyes, unsure now if she should have bragged of her status. What had she thought...

    Private Taken Like a Leaf in the Wind

    Lila Lacrimosa stared back at Magus Montefalcon's wrinkled face, laced with disdain and dismissal, as her question hung between them. She had asked a question that shouldn't have been asked, whether because it was too stupid to devote thought to or because it was a question outside of her rank...

    Private Guilty as Sin

    How lame. In only a few seconds, Lila had lost all the little bets she had made. It turned out betting on nearly everything wasn't a good idea. It also turned out that the woman in her black dress, Misia, was part of Poep's underground casino. She won just enough to seem lucky, but not enough to...

    Open A Weeping Night

    Lila turned her gaze from the deva to the black void of the room. She squinted, but that did nothing more than worsen her vision. Humans rarely found themselves extraordinary without magic. She whispered an old spell that was easy to learn but hard to maintain for those who found themselves...

    Private Guilty as Sin

    Lila strained her ears towards the conversation between the woman and the scruffy man beside her. She turned her head to glower at the dealer instead, watching him rake in coins after his call from the dice. Damnit, she hadn't watched the dealer whatsoever. She bit her lower lip, pulling out her...

    "Don't be rash, Lila." She whispered, walking along a long corridor created from shroudweaving through granite. Though they had smoothed the walls, floor, and ceiling, they could never buff out the streaks and whorls left from such powerful magic. Steel beams held the ceiling overhead, a lantern...

    Well, he had a point there. It would be her loss: it was Lila's first time face-to-face with a deva, a being she had been raised to idolize. Sometimes, she thought about having horns and pointy ears; at least then, the purple hair and eyes would have matched such an appearance. Unfortunately...

    Private Guilty as Sin

    Walking around the entire perimeter of the tower took too much time. It took too much time because it was the walk around that one had to do twice or thrice, and while Lila knew her mental prowess was her greatest asset, even she felt she had missed things on her first walk-through. There was...

    "And I am not helpless." She ground her teeth together as she spat out the lie. She might have cursed at him if she didn't need his help right now. That felt natural, especially after he called her little and then helpless. She closed her eyes when he used his weapon; it was instinct, not fear...

    "I am not little." Lila huffed, nostrils flaring at the horned man's arrogance to call her 'little.' At least he had the sense to call her a lady. She glared at him with indignation, brows furrowing to cast shadows over her eyes in a display that she hoped was half as intimidating as her...

    When the red cloaks snuck up on her, it would have been too late if not for divine intervention. She turned once she heard the whistle of metal, watching the cloaked figure in the doorway fall to the ground. Lilac eyes widened in shock, and Lila froze as she put together what was about to...

    [art credit] Telephassa, a free state that boasts of its constantly expanding city by the same name. It is always under construction; roads continuously change, and buildings grow wider or taller until unrecognizable. They say those who visit one day and return a year later will be unable to...

    Old Vapna, South Ilica. The ghost town is not yet submerged, and a lone figure, clad in black, makes its way from the dry outskirts towards a series of wet, dilapidated buildings. It was a weeping night: stars not yet obscured by the dark clouds shown dimly through the soft drizzle of rain...

    Lila Lacrimosa

    Our Lady of Sorrows: Weeping Beauty; Mourning Violet. Born beneath the moons and stars, Lila looked like any newborn. A little bit like a sea-lizard, and a little bit like a angry tomato with a mouth. She cried incessantly, not quieting nor latching onto her mother. In the morning when her...
