Vivian was avoiding them. Michael was willing to admit that they were not a perfect angel, and therefore they could miss things, but they were positive the paladin of light was avoiding them. Even now, back at Kyora–or, more accurately, the town’s outskirts–Vivian remained by the carriage, aiding Polina in unhitching the unicorns from saidContinue reading “Chapter 22 – Pursuit in the City of Water”

Chapter 21- An Angel’s Weakness
“How long has it been since you’ve taken a bath?” Michael blinked, glancing at Noriko as the human laid flat on the futon she’d claimed as her bed. “What was that?” “When did you last take a bath? Just wondering since, ever since we met, this gal hasn’t seen you take one.” “I don’t requireContinue reading “Chapter 21- An Angel’s Weakness”
Chapter 20 – Meeting in the City of Fire
Michael wasn’t sure what to make of their current situation. Mostly because their current situation was bizarre, but also delicious. “Katsu, don’t let them sit that long, the meat will char.” “Charred meat’s fine.” “It’s dry is what it is. You lose all the flavor if you let it cook too long!” “Mm…tastes fine toContinue reading “Chapter 20 – Meeting in the City of Fire”
Chapter 18 – The Great Thunder Dragon
The ride from Akino to Natsuno was…frustrating. Very frustrating. “We need better transportation,” Michael stated, ignoring the immediately offended looks Gauri and Sadja gave them. “Eh? Why?” Polina asked, apparently unbothered by the almost glacial pace they’d been taking through the provinces of Autumn and Summer. “We’ve been makin’ good time for cross-country travel.” “NoContinue reading “Chapter 18 – The Great Thunder Dragon”
Chapter 17 – The Immortal Capital
Explaining the entirety of the leviathan debacle–carefully edited so as not to imply that Misha the perfectly normal paladin was actually Michael the cardinal angel–took the better part of a morning and an afternoon to get through. Largely because Michael had to keep thinking of ways to explain why Misha Centola would know things thatContinue reading “Chapter 17 – The Immortal Capital”
Chapter 16 – Daring Discoveries
Michael was beginning to wonder if they were cursed. It was a strange thought, but not an unreasonable one, due to the constant rain that seemed to follow them through Nassato and into Akino, the northeastern province of Gorokiva. They did handle that cursed charm, so there may have been some type of hidden retaliatoryContinue reading “Chapter 16 – Daring Discoveries”
Chapter 15 – Suspicious Occurrences
Michael didn’t expect much from Nassato. It was a province on their way southward towards Gorokiva, and even that wasn’t a stop they especially wanted to make on their trip. Yes, they were aware that the whole matter of their tour was to visit all of the Light Lands, but their underlying mission was toContinue reading “Chapter 15 – Suspicious Occurrences”
Chapter 14 – Southward Bound
The noise Michael made as they woke up was incomparable to any sound made by mortal throats. The closest way to describe it was somewhere between a phlegm-filled snort and a majestic orchestra suddenly having its instruments all break at once, though not necessarily at the crescendo of their performance. More like somewhere in theContinue reading “Chapter 14 – Southward Bound”
Interlude 1 – The Former Hero and the Current Villains
Tisma Vlahos hadn’t really expected much from her return home. It was nice to see her kin again, but there wasn’t any sort of pressing need for it, just a casual get together. Hell, she’d had other things on her mind on the way over, what with her personally receiving an “early edition” of theContinue reading “Interlude 1 – The Former Hero and the Current Villains”
Chapter 13 – The Vlahos Family
Farms were a great deal larger than Michael had realized. Though perhaps it was simply a result of this particular farm being Sollamavan? Zemavan farms are definitely smaller than…hm. When’s the last time I’ve actually seen a Zemavan farm? There are those small ones, up in the hills, with the sheep and goats? Regardless, theContinue reading “Chapter 13 – The Vlahos Family”
