The Big Fish (2) Two warriors and one archer. And… ‘The one without any gear—could he be an ability user?’ Yes, that must be it. Mages, who have a lot to lose, usually don’t get involved in this sort of thing. And Priests are out of the question. ‘Anyway, such a team at this rank … Read more
The Big Fish (1) This was the second coming-of-age ceremony I had conducted since becoming the chief. Having done it once before, I was able to complete the entire ceremony in a much shorter time than last time. “Hmm, seems like there are no newbies this time?” None of the young warriors in this batch … Read more
Men and Women (4) We had moved to the living room on the first floor. Auyen, who had been doing the dishes in the kitchen, was nowhere to be seen—perhaps he had already finished his tasks and gone upstairs. Hmm, maybe Amelia had instructed him.

Between an Ally and an Enemy (3) Fox, goblin, clown, queen, deer horns, crescent moon. Including myself, seven members had been part of this long-standing assembly, but now new masks had been added. “Oh, you must be Mr Lion.
