Fall flew by in the blink of an eye. Alfre didn’t even realize the harvest festival was coming up until it had already passed. The weather turned cold and rainy, and then cold and snowy. Alfre was indeed glad for the direwolf pelt Canus had given her. Spica had transformed it into a fur lined coat and a set of warm boots. The buffs that came along with it were far and beyond what she’d expected. She’d snuck off into the Wilds by herself to find Canus and show him what...

The woods were growing dark, which only seemed to increase the urgency of their sprinting. Another pained howl filled the air, and Alfre drew her sword. She pushed her magic into her legs, increasing her speed past that of her comrades and closer to that of Canus and his wolves. She smelled the blood before she saw it. A thorny rope trap, the type meant to catch florrets and rats my snaring them about the middle. The direwolf must have gotten their paw caught in it. It look...

“Had any luck?” Ren asked when Alfre walked through the pub door.
“Maybe,” Alfre said. “Depends on what this one has for me.” She jerked her thumb behind her at Traveler, who smiled.
“Who’s that?” Ren questioned.
“She calls herself Traveler,” Alfre explained. “She wants to join the guild. If she does, then she’ll give me whatever info she has.”
Ren’s brows furrowed at the agreement. “I guess she can join. It’s ...

Requested by our June Winner CallieQ: 'something about Kourubi's pregnancy cravings'
Kakashi closed the front door with his foot, arms too full with groceries to close it the proper way. He’d been making more trips to the store lately, now that Kourubi’s pregnancy had her cravings in full swing. Iruka helped where he could of course, but Kakashi just had the most spare time between the two of them. Kourubi insisted on going sometimes, but Kakashi would rather she just spe...

It took them hours. The two of them were extremely thorough in their reading of the reports, not wanting to miss even the most passing mention of the direwolf situation. Lance, at one point, stuck his head out his door and shouted for two lower leveled guild members to help them out. At some point, Alfre had sequestered herself in a corner of the office, tucking herself into a very large pillow with two stacks of reports on the floor before her. One that had been read, the ...

“I can’t believe you made a promise to a GOD!” Izo gushed, falling into step next to Alfre as Elias led the way out of the Wilds.
“I can’t either,” Spica muttered. She turned to look at Alfre over her shoulder and spoke again, louder this time. “That was a very stupid thing to do. What are you going to do when you can’t find the person who did that? Never go into the Wilds again?”
“Who said I wasn’t going to find him?” Alfre challen...

The Briarwood Thorns, as it happened, was something of a very small canyon or very large ditch (depending on how you looked at it) covered in thorny branches of some kind of plant. It seemed to appear out of no where, the only warning you got was the slight uptick in...

They traveled several more days, fighting every encounter they came across as they went, before arriving at their destination. It looked very much like an old, abandoned, overgrown farm. The farmhouse was in a state of disrepair, its paint pealing, it’s shudders falling off, and several of its windows were cracked or outright broken.
“I think I prefer our tent,” Spica muttered as they approached.
“It’s not as bad on the inside,” Elias sai...

News of what was being called the Conference of Spade spread like wild fire. Within a week, the Guild Council as well as the Market Council, Public Works Commission, and City Guard had been founded and staffed. Patrols began immediately after the founding of the Guard. Each of the three founding guilds held a spot on one of the secondary councils. June’s second in command Doremi headed the Market Council, Atticus held seats on both the Guild Council and the Public Works C...

Tsuna stood before Reborn. The curse had been lifted, and the war was over. He felt sore all over, but he refused to let himself fall, not now. Later, when he was home, he’d sleep for a week. But for now, he’d keep standing.
“Sawada Tsunayoshi,” Reborn said, his voic...

Time passed far too quickly in Alfre’s opinion. Before she knew it, July third was dawning and she’d hardly gotten any sleep the night before. She stood from her bed and dressed in the nicest things she owned, which was basically everything she’d started with, plus a wonderful white leather coat that billowed out around her calves and supposedly boosted her ice magic. It was a new item, developed to go along with the release of the Element Blade class that the expansi...

June returned before Atticus did. She barely took the time to receive Ren’s message from her second in command before marching straight over. She was tall and willowy, her auburn hair braided and tied back away from her face into a long, flowing pony tail that cascaded down her back until it reached her hips. Her pointed ears gave her away as an elf. Alfre wondered if all elves were this pretty. With her was a cat eared young woman with hair so orange it was almost blindi...

June and Atticus were away from their guildhalls when Ren’s messenger arrived, and they weren’t likely to return for a few days. They were out in the Wilds, trying to find their guild members who weren’t in the city when the Incident happened. Their second in commands, who had been left behind incase people returned without the search party’s help, took the message and promised to pass it on when they returned.
That left Ren and the others with very little to ...

It was another day and a half before the party reached the edge of the Wilds. Before them, jutting up against the wide, blue ocean was a city. The city towered over its own walls, the buildings a strange mishmash of different eras and styles that still somehow made sense. It reminded her of her own home city, where old and new mixed seamlessly. There was no gate in the wall, just a wide arch. She could see people streaming in and out of the opening.
“Welcome, ...

“My family is flying out for Christmas.”
Don looked from his newspaper, not finding anything of interest in the sports section anyway. Faith sat on the couch, legs curled up under her as she kept her eyes on the academic journals she was using for some research paper she was doing. Something about the efficiency of different solar panel options (he remembered her mentioning stained glass that coul...

Night fell quickly, almost too quickly.
“Wonderland follows a twelve hour day,” Elias explained when she asked. “We’re lucky this happened in summer, since the days are longest then. In winter, the sun is out for maybe three hours at a time. Which is great for anyone who chose vampire for their race, but not so much for everyone else.”
They climbed into one of the large, towering maple trees, hiding from the beasts below in its leaves and branche...

She awoke sometime later; she had no idea how long she slept, only that it was light out, to a rapping on the door. She inhaled sharply, sitting up far too quickly and making herself dizzy in the process. Once the world stopped spinning, she turned her gaze to the door, staring, waiting for the knocking to begin again.
Sure enough, it did. Three short, precise taps in succession. “Hello?” a clear, melodic voice called. “I know you’re in there! I saw you throug...

Alfre was unsure how it happened. She wasn’t even sure WHAT happened. But now she was running through a deep, dark wood, sword at her side and white hair billowing out behind her and the sound of wild, animalistic growls at her heels.
She did not always have white hair. And it had never been this long before. She reached up to push up glasses that were not there and would probably never be again as she jumped to avoid tripping over an exposed root. The sounds of gro...

“Sensei, where are we going?” Kourubi asked. The teenaged genin didn’t usually have to ask such questions, but Noboru-sensei was being secretive today.
“You’ll see,” Noboru said, reaching over to pat Kourubi’s head. “We’re almost there.”
Kourubi shared a displeased look with her teammates, Mai and Ryou. It was rare for sensei to ...
