The woman had become petulant, but the guard only smirked and shook his head. He was familiar with her kind, being around High District for so long. People like them were only used to smooth sailing from a ship made of milk and honey--the moment a rock appears in the way they were done for. He...

No Roll necessary, at this stage. The massive walls of High District loomed behind the guard as he tilted his head to one side and looked over the mildly attractive woman in front of him. He personally didn't know much about High District folks and their business, but for them to call on a...

In Storm's last moments of consciousness before passing out, she sees a peculiar, red-eyed raven staring at her from the trees. It appears engrossed in the carnage that had just unfolded, seemingly jittering with glee. It calls out once, and even a newborn baby could tell that it was not the...

The sun shone mercilessly into Elenda Nakamura’s eyes as she stood in a crowd of wealthy do-gooders, barely conscious of her body as a dizzying sickness caused her to wobble and teeter. Someone said something, and the crowd clapped and cheered. Elenda raised her hands but couldn’t muster the...

As the dark blanket of night overtook the wilderness and the rural villagers retreated to their quarters to rest, a single bird appeared on one of the many trees surrounding their settlement. It turned a beady, crimson eye toward the lantern glow and chattering that emanated from their wooden...

Posting as Aureliana, Maiden of the Stars. The hour of devastation had arrived. Aureliana looked on at the flaming debris as it cascaded toward Solanaceae with a hand to her chest. Oh, it was all too soon. If only they had more time. If only more survivors had accepted the city's offer. Now...

A few hours later...Mara was standing at her newly made desk of affairs, which was a great tree that was cut down and its stump sanded to a perfectly smooth surface, under a hastily constructed tent. Scattered in front her were hand-drawn maps and personal accounts of some of the villagers as it...

Controlling Mara, leader of the Order. The Land of Water air hung thick with mist and the faint, salty scent of the sea, yet the stillness felt wrong. Mara stood in the small, rain-swept marketplace of a coastal village. Her black cloak was pulled tight, and her hazel eyes, ever sharp, scanned...

To will the Armory to open was exactly what was needed; just like that, a series of locks and seals began to release themselves through Marzan's command, though one issued by Emiya. Numerous gears spun from within the walls while mystical seals flashed invisibly as they were rendered silent. The...

Emiya would find a near-lifeless Marzan slumped near his anvil, body still aside from an extremely faint breathing pattern. With the Smith catatonic, Emiya would have only a single option in his spiritual form: to occupy Marzan as a vessel. The potential repercussions of such a course of action...

"Compared to your last encounter with death, I expect this one will be far less painful." Nefarian held out his palm, a small purple and black orb of swirling energy formed. Nefarian's gaze fell onto it, focusing on its creation. "This will be bloodless and instantaneous. In my view, if one can...

"Oh, your words...how they wound me so." Nefarian clutched at his heart over his dark robes, feigning emotional pain before scoffing. "Save your disdain for someone who cares. Or, better yet, your true enemy. I would hesitate to look a gift horse in the mouth in such dire times, even if that...

"You shouldn't scream so loudly, you know?" As if perfectly timed and right on queue, a shroud of black smoke manifested Nefarian before Emiya yet again. "Humanity no longer rules these lands. Monsters now inhabit them; monsters born of her Rot. You may attract them, though fortunately she still...

Nefarian audibly sighed, shaking his head in disapproval. "I thought I told you not to waste your precious air. Unfortunate. Perhaps if I paint the gravity of your situation differently..." Nefarian lifted one hand to drift at level with Emiya's throat. Suddenly what oxygen in Emiya would be...

Nefarian expected nothing less, pleased that Emiya was at least open to the idea rather than refusing outright. He hooked his middle and index fingers underneath the cloth of his hood as it rested above his head, slowly lowering it to reveal his grim countenance and long silvery hair. His black...

"And so the blacksmith's student has finally come seeking his master. Or perhaps you made the journey to these forsaken lands for another reason..." A swirl of black mist manifested behind Emiya as Nefarian appeared, shrouded in his typical Voidlord attire though with his hood at his neck rather...

Enkidu arched through the air, beginning his descent toward his pinned prey: the cosmos itself, Abzu. He would not kill, but restrain. To bind the ancient being, returning him and his tree to the Void; before the Tree could work its primeval Chaotic powers and permanently overwrite their world...

Before the group had time to speak or find it's balance, the coalesced essence of four divine beings determined it was time to leave. Time was of the essence and Enkidu had just launched his final attack against Abzu. Leaving without a trace the entire group of Champions were teleported away to...

I stand alone at the edge of the abyss. It stared back. In that darkness I see the cosmos itself. Above, three meteors pierce shattered heavens; demons rise; below, the dead die; Rot spreads; siblings freed; truth revealed; vengeance claimed; worship, worship, worship. My siblings and I were...

The typically flamboyant doctor stood there dumbfounded and eyes wide. Kotetsu's body collapsed, suddenly locked in deep coma as his body naturally went to work fighting the infestation of Scarlet Rot. But if anyone could help, it was Iskandrous. While he was only in the background to the...
