The fox was something reminiscent of a kitsune, a caricature of what a fox really looked like. The spirit glowed with a warm h...

One more bridge mended with the group, Percy made his way back to his seat, eager to get back to his side-car. Especially as the first song began to spin up on the stage, he took stock of the state of the room. Eryl was cooped up in her corner, just taking it all in, looking a bit confused as the so...

He seemed a lot more relaxed than whenever he was on school grounds or dealing with other mages. "I was a Pharma Sci Major with a Minor in Chem...

"Tall gent, isn't he?" Percival broke off the edge of the group, having yet to see Miyuki arrive, so he decided to mingle.
