The Guild – Chapter 72 – Hitomi 2

July 28, 2018July 25, 20181 Comment

    I touch the ink filled fude (brush) to the paper and carefully draw the first stroke of kaze (wind). I sometimes find peace is practicing shuji (calligraphy). The focus it requires to write the kanji (characters) in a balanced fashion is soothing.     I dip the fude into the sumi (ink) and … Continue reading The Guild – Chapter 72 – Hitomi 2

The Guild – Chapter 71 – Andrei

July 27, 2018July 25, 20181 Comment

    I wake up rolling over into Kaede with a groan. I don’t even have time to recoil before he’s swearing at me. I get my bearings as Kaede’s reaction seems to wake up everyone else in the small hut. I see Caroline sitting next to Nik, Kat’s propped up on the cot and … Continue reading The Guild – Chapter 71 – Andrei

The Guild – Chapter 70 – Caroline

July 26, 2018July 25, 20181 Comment

    “I can help you with that you know,” I huff after Nik has finished explaining how he’ll take Andrei to the elders in another hut. “I’ve learned how to heal.”     “It's alright. Stay with her. I am unsure if leaving her alone is a wise idea.”     “I can hear … Continue reading The Guild – Chapter 70 – Caroline

The Guild – Chapter 69 – Kaitlyn

July 25, 2018July 25, 20181 Comment

    “Kat!” a voice cuts through the dark. I know that voice. My head snaps up, my fingers untangle from my hair. Please be wrong…     He runs toward me, hazel eyes wide, long hair bouncing with the motion. My chest fills with ice. This is another trick. This isn’t real… Is it? … Continue reading The Guild – Chapter 69 – Kaitlyn

The Guild – Chapter 68 – Andrei

July 21, 2018July 20, 20181 Comment

    Kaede pulls up a map on his phone and tells the cab to take us towards a Native American reservation. He drops us off just outside the reserve, saying we’ll have to walk the rest of the way in. We thank him and head on our way.     The forest here is … Continue reading The Guild – Chapter 68 – Andrei

The Guild – Chapter 67 – Hitomi

July 20, 20181 Comment

Note, I am studying Japanese, so I wanted to write a character who is culturally Japanese. For chapter one I wrote the Japanese and had a friend edit it. I may or may not continue to do so, though this takes a long time. Please enjoy learning about Japan through this character! (Both of these … Continue reading The Guild – Chapter 67 – Hitomi

The Guild – Chapter 66 – Andrei

July 20, 20181 Comment

    I wake up with a stiff ache in my neck. How in the world did Kaede ever put up with sleeping on the couch? I wipe the sleep from my eyes, rubbing my neck to ease the cramp as I sit up. I look at the second bed they had brought in for … Continue reading The Guild – Chapter 66 – Andrei

The Guild – Chapter 65 – Kaitlyn

July 20, 20181 Comment

    Where am I? I wonder. Everything is white. I can't make out where the floor ends and the ceiling begins. Ceiling, or sky? I'm not sure. How did I get here?     “Hello, child,” a raspy voice sends a chill down my spine. “I've found you,” he sings in a horrible croaking … Continue reading The Guild – Chapter 65 – Kaitlyn

The Guild – Chapter 64 – Andrei

July 17, 20181 Comment

    Kaede eyes the box of tissues I’ve begun to carry around with me. Caroline pinches him when he goes to make a comment and I silently thank her for it. I don’t feel much in the mood for his jests, not yet.     For two days, Caroline has been helping me to … Continue reading The Guild – Chapter 64 – Andrei

The Guild – Chapter 63 – Caroline

July 12, 2018July 25, 20181 Comment

    I hear his door click shut and I listen carefully to his footsteps retreating down the hall. I wait five minutes, just to be safe, then I slip out into the hall and slide silently into Andrei’s room.     The space is spotless, as it was the last time I saw him … Continue reading The Guild – Chapter 63 – Caroline

The Guild – Chapter 62 – Samantha

July 11, 20181 Comment

    I find myself in my room. It's dark, and not because the curtains cover the windows, but from the amount of void energy, I see swirling above me.     That… witch of a girl had me convinced every bone in my body was broken and it hurt like hell. It’s a lingering … Continue reading The Guild – Chapter 62 – Samantha

The Guild – Chapter 61 – Selene

July 9, 20181 Comment

    Days drag on in this place. Nothing changes, except the people. I pass the time by practicing my gifts, learning everything I can from Markus. He may be old, stubborn, and incorporeal, but his knowledge is enviable. Cliff joins me at every opportunity and insists I learn to fight. I don’t know how … Continue reading The Guild – Chapter 61 – Selene

The Guild – Chapter 60 – Andrei

July 7, 20181 Comment

    I find myself alone. I’m breathing heavily, and it takes me a few moments before I’ve gained control of my breathing. My back is sore and I roll over onto my stomach, propping myself up on my elbows only to realize I’ve slept on the floor of the crypt. There are no windows … Continue reading The Guild – Chapter 60 – Andrei
