Ko watched the new comer. Shielding was quite useful. It was garish and always drew attention away from the hidden places. It always seemed to drive people to distraction and this was proving her point. She nodded to herself as she watched the patterns of the robots as they went on the...
Ko nodded, pursing her lips and scowling towards several clusters of students attack. "It is a valid tactic." Except there was no wink or grin on her face, just cold certainty. "There's risk in being too passive, but sometimes that's the only way." She gave a small shrug, her snow white and...
Her black eyes sparkled like sun light on an oil slick. Usually they absorbed all light and gave no indication of letting anything out, but today was different. She felt like she was caught between the depths and the heavens, staring up at the plane of light that collected on the surface. βAs...
She stood at attention, but she never stopped listening in on Hiko's words. She parsed every word, explored the syntax, and each vocabulary term. She wondered why a part of her couldn't let him go, would never let him go. Like a duckling, she'd somehow imprinted on this wonderful boy. Another...
Ko's body remained hunched over the rubik's cube. This rubik's cube was different from the usual ones. It was completely white, except for each time her finger touched a square it would flash for 100 microseconds to a color. It required intense focus, perceptive awareness, and hand-eye...
Ko looked up from the depths of the bathtub, watching as the light distorted at the boundary between the shadowy world beneath the water and the too bright surface world. Here below she didnβt have to go through yet another metamorphosis. She wanted nothing more than to splinter apart, peeling...
Carmine smiled. βI so love watching you work Crimson.β Watching the transformation take place, Carmine gave Crimson a small bow of his head, βI knew we had selected the perfect vintage.β
Carmineβs eyes narrowed every so slightly as he lifted his finger to his ear. βInteresting. My lord, it...
Carmine let out a low laugh like the gurgling blood from a cut artery. βYour humility does you credit as a leader to care about such lowlifes as those whom guard. My lord, we are the guards! Say it and it is so. Should those stand before us, they will meet with a Bloody Apocalypse.β
Carmine...
Carmine chuckled, βSome of these leaders come and go like the wind. Seriously, I barely had enough time to learn her favorite drink.β He shook his head, βI will not allow that to happen with you my lord!β Carmineβs blissful face opened up, his eyes widening, βEven if I have to squeeze every last...
Miraculously, Caz found it quite easy to βstowawayβ on the ship. Everyone seemed to be looking in a different direction and making it over the gangplank and onto the ship. It was the ship of the line, and there wasnβt much room for luxury anymore. The main compliment aboard the ship were the...
Carmine smiled. After thousands of years, killing was quite mundane. It was the artistry that he appreciated these days. And the pure joy of spending time with his lord. He liked this one more than most.
Bowing at Platform, Carmine said, βOf course, my lord.β Rising from his bow, the...
The airship, Bloody Apocalypse, had started out as a grand vessel created his lordβs specific instructions. Carmine had taken the liberty to upgrade the vessel to be a true and proper symbol of his lordβs prowess as commander of Havenβs Military. It sported the clan colors on the outside and the...
Carmine was in bliss. It had been overcast and gloomy the whole day, blotting out the garish sunlight. Drizzle and downpour cleansed the filth from the streets, thinning out the herd of humanity and demon outside. To top it all off, he got to spend the day attending to his lords every whim. It...
