Kourin ni Tensai Chapter 9: Those Who Dance Amongst The Dead

Chapter 9: Those Who Dance Amongst The Dead

                 A cemetery in the middle of the night was always a good place to see terrible things go down. Maybe zombies would rise from the grave and seek the flesh of the living, or a vampire would rise from a hundred year sleep, ready to regain a long dead throne. It was a place where ghouls and ghosts lay. A place you’d normally avoid to visit, the moment the sun sank into the horizon, but unfortunately, for the two Prospect agents, they’d have to fight both fear and cold. They had come out into the night, dressed completely in black. Stealthy enough to avoid the detection of any passerby, but unwilling in entirety to avoid the detection of the crooks that lied within.  They were over a fence and zipping pass the many tombstones that lined a hill, until they found the trio Kouta had mentioned, sitting around a grave with the flare of their cigarettes giving minor sight of their faces.

Nuut Wereld Chapter 17: Standalone

Chapter 17: Standalone

                The casting of an illusion always came with a ring. A brief buzz between the moment the illusion was cast, and the moment it kicked in, and for most, it was nothing more than the sudden onset of a headache. For most, it was nothing, nothing but a minor annoyance, but for Keigo, it was all he needed, to know that it was time to move. As swiftly as the illusion could have set in, he had broken out of it, and with a quick flick of one of his tablets, his body began to transform. The familiar crack and shift of bones, the sudden additional hair that was in no way his nature shade. All these things had kicked in, in the moment he felt that sting and broke free, and in the moment that followed, he picked up his friends with his monstrous strength, and sprung from the tree house right before an arrow jetted in. A sudden explosion sent him tumbling as he fell to the ground below and almost let them go. Around him, like the watchful eyes of a large cat, stalking its prey before it sprung forward for a deathblow, he could feel the intent of his enemies, all barreling in, all threatening to do to him what that large cat would do to whatever woodland creature it sought that day. He felt the intent as he weaved through the woods, trying his best to remain at top speed and to carry his allies at the same time. Arrows zipped in and missed him as he vaulted off a trees and rocks, but as one tore a thin line into his leg, he knew he couldn’t carry on like this. He could protect them if he put them down, but not if they were too close together. He could hold out till one of the others woke up, but first he had to figure out who it would be, and to do that, he’d first have to figure out what the illusion was. A sudden pained groan from Diana gave the youth a good idea, and with that, just as an arrow zipped his way, he was off into the brush again with a plan in mind.

              

Tengoku Senshi Chapter 16: The Blood of a Hunter

Chapter 16: The Blood of a Hunter

                Opening the door hit them with a distinct smell. Cheap cigar smoke, mixed with alcohol and sweat, and a little of the bravado from the patrons within. In all her days, Sakuya could never guess this was what the inside of a monster-hunting guild would be, but now that she had seen it, she couldn’t say that she was surprised. It was more of a bar than any other establishments. Floors and tables of dark wood. A counter staffed by a barmaid, who discussed tales of battle with three or so people who sat around it. Sakuya had always thought of a guild as a place for getting jobs and joining organization, but the only thing that alluded to that, was the bulletin on the back walls. With Takeshi, Aeriane, and Jasmine in tow, she walked across the foggy room and took a seat at the counter. The barmaid, a plump woman with braided hair pulled up into a ponytail, turned hazel eyes onto her, and told her with a glance, that she was somewhere she didn't belong.

News and A Rant 4 -23-12

Hello and Welcome to The Ward

Wow, a News and a Rant posted on the day it's supposed to be posted. So back in March I said that The Ward would be updated again, come April, and with only two weeks remaining in the months, I suppose it could be said that it is now returning not a moment too soon. Starting tomorrow, April 24th, The Ward will be active again with a new chapter of Tengoku Senshi, and as the week goes on, there will even be a new chapter of Kourin ni Tensai. As for the projects that led to the sudden hiatus, one is nearly done while the other hasn't even been started yet. This is unsurprising mind you, as I suspected the second project wouldn't be started till May at the earliest, but the status of the first one is all caused by me. Nevertheless, look forward to The Ward being up and active, starting tomorrow.

Till next we meet, See you at The Ward, where you come to get your boredom cured...
