Tristan sat at his easel, leaning in until his nose nearly touched the canvas. A few feet ahead of him, the wall-length enchanted screen displayed a field of tiny blue flowers bending in the breeze and welcoming the blue butterflies that flocked to their petals.
With a tiny brush and a teensy dab of paint, Tristan carefully penned the delicate outlines of the lule misre blossoms. This had to b...
2023-02-15 01:29:47 +0000 UTC View PostCailu’s sleep was fitful, at best. He watched as the last licks of flame perished beneath the charred wood in the fireplace. The letters of recommendation for Tristan and Matt lay sealed and stamped with the sun emblem insignia he’d adapted for himself in Nyarlea.
Naeemah tossed and turned in the bed next to his. At least twice, her eyes had snapped open, emeralds catching the firelight as she stared at Cailu with a haunting mixture of pain and anger. She felt betrayed, and rightful...
2023-02-13 09:16:04 +0000 UTC View PostCeres sat at an ornate dining table, her hands clasped in her lap. An old grandmother clock stood against the wall of the opposite room, its pendulum swinging and its hands clicking. To date, Amy had never been late. If anything, she had a tendency to be too early.
Ceres shuffled the nails of her thumbs to alleviate the anxiety in her chest.
A nearby door clicked open, and Ceres turned toward the noise. A catgirl with short pink hair and a red ribbon behind her left ear shut the d...
2023-02-10 07:21:17 +0000 UTC View PostAdrenaline pounded against my eardrums, limiting my hearing and blurring my vision. Magni was there. He was right there. The man that had almost killed us. He had no guards left, no protection. Hell, he’d brought women and children to block our path. It would be so easy to summon my axe and swing. Bury my axe in that scaly neck and watch him bleed out all over the floor.
“Matt,” Keke murmured, putting a hand on my shoulder. “Come on. Let’s get cleaned up.”
And...

Voodoo Doll Kirti art sponsored by SkySom and drawn by Milavana.
Very excited to have some future art pieces done by Milavana. Her style is great for Catgirls and she nailed this piece. Thanks, Sky, for helping bring her to life!

2023-02-07 05:56:12 +0000 UTC View PostMagni snarled, reeling back from the elf’s suggestion. Always pushing his ideals and forcing his ways, this little man. “Your arrogance is no less cloying than when we first met, Cailu.”
“More cowardice, Magni?” Cailu narrowed his eyes. “You called for the murder of three of Nyarlea’s men, and you dare consider my challenge one of arrogance?”
“Murder?” A smile twisted the corner of his mouth. “You collapse my tunnels and kill my remaining Ejderha, an...

2023-02-03 19:52:58 +0000 UTC View PostThe smoke and haze cleared from the room, leaving the group standing alone inside the immense welcoming hall. Cailu had his sword drawn while Naeemah and Kirti maintained a watch of their flank—that oversight in the tunnel would never happen again.
The high ceilings of the citadel were the same as Cailu remembered all those years ago when he’d first stepped foot on this desiccated island. However, many of its windows were replaced by stained glass depictions of dragons. Doz...

2023-01-31 06:18:55 +0000 UTC View PostThere wasn’t a peep to be heard. Not that we were surprised, considering the explosion that’d taken place the day prior. I doubted anyone wanted to be near the wall during or after the collapse.
“The silence is unnerving,” Tristan said.
“I’m sure Sanrai would have advised everyone to hole up in Magni’s citadel,” Zahra reasoned. “That is something I would expect from my sister.”
I shared admiration and concern for Zahra in equal measure. I was sure the peo...

2023-01-27 20:45:04 +0000 UTC View PostThey worked late into the night, well after the moon had peaked and set. The mood in Rājadhānī had wholly transformed with the wall’s fall, and Tristan realized just how much of the segregation between shells was perpetuated by the Ejderha. There were still some uneasy approaches by catgirls in the Third Shell, but the vast majority of the Second Shell inhabitants welcomed them with open arms, refills of water ration tanks, and fresh-cooked food from Cannoli and Ravyn’s makeshift cafet...
2023-01-26 06:21:54 +0000 UTC View PostLynx wrote this piece for Sir Joe's birthday. Non-canon between Keke and Matt. Enjoy!

I leaned on the railing overlooking the Abyssinian River. A cool evening breeze drew ripples on the water’s surface, bringing with it the aromas of sizzling meat and sweet desserts from the restaurant nearby. My stomach growled.
She’s late.
It was odd. Keke was never late. I’d become so accustomed to her presence that I could set a clock by almost any one of her hab...
2023-01-25 01:58:47 +0000 UTC View PostThe wall’s collapse obstructed the view of the First Shell, creating yet another impediment to reaching Magni. Cailu eyed the enormous pile of rubble, testing his footing at the base. The baked bricks shifted and collapsed if he placed significant weight on them—it would be too dangerous for their Parties to climb.
Hell take you, Magni.
Naeemah and Kirti stood nearby, the [Assassin] watching Cailu’s progress while the [Witch Doctor]’s bemused gaze flickered from h...

2023-01-24 07:44:39 +0000 UTC View PostI’d never been so happy to see the light at the end of a tunnel. As more and more of the wall shifted, the stress in my muscles began to alleviate, and I cocked my head back, breathing a sigh of relief.
“Our efforts weren’t in vain,” I heard Tristan whisper to my left.
“No. They weren’t,” I replied, rubbing Keke’s shoulders.
I turned to look at Cailu’s back. His shoulders visibly shifted up and down from his labored breathing. I wondered how much concentrat...
2023-01-20 01:05:48 +0000 UTC View Post“Hey. You okay?”
Tristan blinked. His vision was cloudy, and the words sounded like they were spoken through a glass window. Muddled, drowned out. There was a silhouette of a figure above him, holding out a hand.
“You look like you’re in bad shape.”
He felt like he was in bad shape. His energy was sapped as if he’d just run a marathon without water. A dozen questions prodded his hazy thoughts.
Short hair bobbed around the stranger’s chin. Hadn’...

There wasn’t time to acknowledge what was happening; the scene happened in flashes like a strobe light. The lights going out. The Ejderha surrounding us. I watched as Lara fell to her knees, the faint light reflecting in the blood pooling beside her. She had her hand against her shoulder, tears in her eyes.
“La—” I started.
“Lara!” Tristan screamed and rushed forward, putting Zahra to his right and Destiny to his left.
“I’ll burn you alive, you filthy wretch!...
2023-01-14 01:13:15 +0000 UTC View PostNaeemah’s flowing green dress reverted to the black leathers I’d grown to associate her with whenever we met. She lifted the brunette beneath the arm and dragged her away from the gate. Only two girls in the Third Shell had dared linger to watch the encounter, and Zahra had moved to warn them away.
Forcing our way in had been precisely what we’d wanted to avoid. Ravyn had warned that Cailu’s plan would lead to this, but now that it hung out in the open, I couldn’t find a reaso...

Matt watched the setting sun from the balcony of the Belching Flame—an inn in Shulan reputed for its immaculate service. Fire crackled in the hearth behind him while the voices of his Party made enough noise to have the police called. Matt chuckled.
The air was getting colder every day. Specks of snow spotted the Shulan rooftops while the catgirls below ...
2022-12-24 20:08:52 +0000 UTC View PostThe thought of marching back up to the gates of Rājadhānī was more anxiety-inducing than Tristan wanted to admit. His chest tightened, wracked with worry and concern. The fight with Sanrai replayed itself several times over in his head, and countless possibilities toyed with the fabric of his mental well-being. He fought hard to wear a brave face as they approached.
With the same care one would show with a bag of garbage, Cailu tossed what remained of the Chikara at the guards’ fee...
2022-12-22 05:59:52 +0000 UTC View Post“We only need the head,” Cailu said, toeing one of the large bristled teeth protruding from the Chikara’s face.
Naeemah nodded. Her form blurred, and her daggers sliced deftly through the neck joint. She returned to his side and wiped the blades on her thigh.
Cailu lifted the enormous head of the Chikara from the sand and held it up for inspection. Naeemah had carved it at an excellent length—the Defiled was immediately recognizable, and the viscera didn’t touch the grou...
