Coincidence or not
The association building was fuller than ever when I returned. Everyone was bustling around. It was hard for me to maneuver in all this racket. I had to push people out of my way as they were yelling about joining their party and whatnot.

The church of the Godness of the Light was bright, to say at least. The church itself was built from white marble. Its windows were multi-colored, with grandiose images depicted within them.
Outside the church was a garden filled with all kinds of flowers that...

The situation was way too intense for me. Only moments passed since the Dark Magician took the crystal skull from his robe, but it felt like hours. Neither Lex nor Lux tried to move forward towards Lucius. On the other hand, I stepped backwar...

The bounty of the dead
In the past month, Guts has grown some. Still, he was just a puppy right now, and I could pick him up with just one hand. He went everywhere with me, and I didn’t want to let him wander alone either, so I let him be.
Even if Guts was just a pup...

Damn, was it because I called Joffrey a lion that Lord Stark put the dots together. This was a problem. There was no way that Lannisters would let the Throne go. If they did so, it would be with a fight. I didn’t want to get in between. At...
