    Summary

    Phainon is so focused on the swordsmaster in front of him, cold sparks blurring off his mask as Phainon’s weapon strains against his, that he doesn’t notice the shadowed vessel that bursts into being.

    The sword plunges sharply between his ribs, then out through his back like a single shattered wing.

    Summary

    Phainon is half-child and half-injury, wobbling on pure adrenaline, and then the shape of the Flame Reaver emerges like a night terror through the dust and the ashes. As if a shared breath they are holding, caught like a bird in the epicenter of the dream, they see Cyrene.

    Aedes Elysiae is burning. Through the veil of the future, the Chrysos Heirs watch Phainon struggle to save it.

    "Do you resent this city?” Mydei asks, eyes as sharp as a hawk's.

    Summary

    Summary

    It’s a cold day in Yatsuhara. Nyanko-sensei scoffs when Natsume says as much.

    “You’re too human if the weather still bothers you.”

    Natsume frowns. That’s a strange thing to joke about.

    Day 6: Not Realizing You're Injured
    Day 14: Possession

    Gis are traditionally tied one of two ways, meaning two different things. Tie the gi with the left lapel overlapping the right, and you are training hand-to-hand grappling. Tie the gi right over left, and you are ready to be buried.
    -
    He is on thin ice, but Yanqing cannot help himself. He’s curious. It’s why he entered the General’s palace in the first place, why he risked spirit and body to become an apprentice. Still, the ice in his blood raises bumps when he asks, “Why not the other way?”

    “Because that is reserved for burials.” Those lions’ eyes pored over every inch of him. They sear his skin and race lightning through his heart. Under those eyes, he was petrified. “And I should hope I never live to see you buried.”

    She just never really expected Topaz to be the one asking.

    Summary

    Jingliu turns to face him. He has grown taller in the few years she’s been gone. He still reeks of child; somewhere inside her she understands what Jing Yuan saw in him. “This will hardly be the first loved one you fight.”

    Yanqing swallows, looking everywhere but at Jingliu herself. “I don’t know if I want to fight anymore,” he whispers, shaking his head.

    She kneels beside him. “And it is exactly why you must continue to utilize the blade.” She stares into the horizon of the Luofu.

    “I can’t. It’s not the same without him.”

    She sighs. “It will never be.”

    Jing Yuan succumbs to the mara. The Luofu keeps moving forward.
