 The Town Of Grudges  It was on Strena’s birthday morning when they had arrived at Yukino’s Town, Shirochi. It had been a good few months and nothing of interest had happened. Only that was of interest to the group was the Anuméganese was slowing Dark Lord Gajellidor Darcrogh and Dark Lady Grasharlo’s progression quite a lot.  It was composed of a large group of buildings. All were stacked upon each other and had different levels. Almost like they were built one at a time, wherever they could fit at the side of the cliff. Yet all of them were damaged, their windows were all smashed in, the hole coated walls and rooms were coated in moss and mold. All the doors were either gone or ajar.  “My! Is anyone home?” Both Niko and Cerpheres asked. “Nah! Doesn’t seem like it.” That was when Yukino became deathly pale as shock and denial were in his eyes. He shook his head as he almost shook as he looked around and ran into town with tears building in his eyes. “No! I’m too lat...

 The Innkeeper’s Neck They had been traveling for a week or two and Yukino came up close to Strena. “Tell me, what is wrong, child?” She looked to the side, trying to hide her rage filled eyes. “Nothing.” He raised his eyebrows. “Not with that look on your face. Come on, just tell me. You need to say it.” She let out a huff. “It’s not about me. It’s about what Dark Lord Gajellidor has done. It’s about what my dad has done. Yet I am scared that I’ll become line them. After all, I was taught by Dark Lady Grasharlo and during that time I did bad things. Worse, I liked doing it. I know that the dress she gave me was enchanted to bring it out, but it still did it and it was still me.” He placed a hand on her back. “Tell me, do you want me to help you? After all, I know that you can’t do it on your own.” She looked on and nodded. “Yes. I don’t want to become evil.” She admitted. He nodded and smiled. They all came to a wooden hotel that was made up of four floors and windows were lit w...

 Town Of Living Objects After a week they were about to arrive at Ikita Buttai to drop off Amagosa. After all, they were on that path. So, when they arrived, they were all tired. Yet, upon seeing all of the other umbrellas hopping about, Strena dropped her jaw. Then she saw spoons also hopping all around, rocking chairs rocked from left to right like a crab. They saw tables and other chairs jumping on and on. Then they saw beds jumping down the streets. Yeah as they walked in further and further they saw houses arguing with each other in their native language. Yet as they looked around, a group of umbrellas came to them. “Amagosa?” “Family!” He cried as he hopped over to them and crashed into them. They knocked them all over. Yet he laughed and laughed. “Where have you been!?” “I went to see the world. Yet it did not work out well. So I tried to come back. Only for me to make people scream and knock me over. I stayed that way until she picked me up so that I could return home.” The...

 Mischief Of The Kitsuné  They all had traveled for a day and, after a good week, they had left the mountain behind. Strena could feel her feet were starting to hurt. Yet she did all that she could to stop herself from complaining or falling behind. She knew that she needed a break, but they had lost far too much time and she did not want to hold them all back. Yet, she had noticed that she was able to last longer and had started to wear an undergarment over her bust as it had started to develop. However she could tell that she could still feel the last remnants from the cold from her battle. Yet as she hugged herself she could tell that both helped ease her cold as much as she could in the late winter weather. Soon night came and they all needed to sleep. They all looked around and spotted that all their food was gone! They all looked again and again and again for their meal bags and found nothing. “Alright! Who ate all the food?” Chashathrophogh asked as he took a glance at ...

 Yuki They soon walked on and on and on the path of the mountain. They all had to change into their warmer clothes before they walked up the cold mountain. They could have walked around the mountain but they knew that they had lost too much time and needed to cut as many corners as they could and this was the fastest way. Yet it was all empty aside from the sound of the stormy winds. Yet Yukino had to stay close to Cerpheres and Leonardo to keep warm. Chashathrophogh kept her close to him to keep her warm and Bash and Zaryb kept close. She looked at them as they walked on and on and on. Yet the one thing that helped them was Amagasa, who shielded them from the wind. That was when they started to hear singing. They could not make out the words, yet as they walked on and on the atmosphere became colder and colder. Soon the words could be heard and she could tell that it was Anuméganese. Yet, even though it was the voice of a woman, she could not help but feel that the voice was not t...

 Picking Up Strange  Companions  They walked on and on and on. They started to walk through a cherry blossom forest with bark darker than usual, almost black and the petals were paler than average, almost white. Yet as they dropped they made a layer of petals like a carpet on the floor of the forest making it look like it was covered in pink tinted snow.   Strena be Leonardo looked around in awe of the beauty of the forest. Strena had never seen such beauty before as she wanted to dirk it all in. She could not help but feel a tear fall as she felt the appreciation of the beauty penetrate her mind and rest upon her heart like the odd falling petal. She smiled as her jaw dropped. Her mind felt calm as she looked around. She felt a sense of gratitude. Grateful that she could see such a stunning place. Yet as she walked in further, she felt more tears falling. She would have wiped the tears away, afraid that Zaryb would have hit her and told her to pull herself toge...

 Location Of The  East Demon King “This really is a beautiful place.” Leonardo commented. Cerpheres draped himself over him. “You really think so?” “Si!” He chuckled as he pulled back. “You ought to see the Sky Kingdoms one day!” “I'll keep that in mind!” He looked at the river as it started to glow as the waters became disturbed. Fireflies and tiny winged fae flew over the surface like yellow and amber stars. The fae laughed as they started to play with the fireflies. Some looked down at the water then a fish flicked out of the water and two dived at it and carried it away to the shoreline opposite, leading to a camp of fae. The fire was lit up with a fire in the centre. Surrounding the fire were rings and rings of dancing fae. Singing in their native tongue. Suddenly Strena found herself walking too where they were. That was when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked back, snapping out of the trance. She spotted that it was none other than Cerpheres. He gently but fir...

 Rest Strena opened her book and wrote down the adventures of the River Towns over the past couple of months. Then she came to the part where they came up with the plot to thwart Bash’s mother’s plot to marry her off to one of the worst kings of the Sky Kingdoms, King Skipher, by having her marry her Uncle Zaryb once she turned eighteen, which was only two years away, and had freed him from Wolfox. She looked up to her uncle as her hand touched the spot where the Artemis necklace used to be. For a moment, she could feel it’s ghost there. Almost like it was still there. Yet, after stroking her neck, she was able to remind herself that it was long since gone. In fact it had been more than two years since then and she was shocked at how she could still feel it's ghost around her neck. Yet her hand finally dropped once she had finished her journal entry. They soon arrived at Animéga. She felt her jaw drop as she saw the high temples that had floors stacked upon the lower like the floor...

The Town At The Mouth They woke up. Bash looked at Cerpheres as he steered the barge. He looked on for a moment. She remembered the day’s events with nothing but disdain. She thought about the assassin that her very own mother sent. About his mission and what her mother had planned. Even though she knew that had he succeeded, she would be dead, King Skipher could still do something to make sure that she would force that ring on her finger. Then her eyes dropped to Zaryb. She thought about the plan that they agreed upon. She might just end up having to marry him if they had not found another solution. She did not know if she was ready for that. However, if they had not resolved this when she was eighteen then it would not matter. Yet she had to let the thought sink in. She stretched out as the rest stirred. “Gooood mooorniiing sleeeping beauuutieees!”  Bash and Chashathrophogh moaned. “Did you beat her?” “No. As I didn’t fight her, she left.” “Where are we?” “At the mouth. You were ...
