Qega “the Champion” was a dragon, and lived in a world where he fit in very well - and probably would for a while longer. He had been generally considered a “Good” dragon, but was well aware that what a dragon needed to do to be considered “Good” had shifted and would continue to shift. When he was a Wyrmling, it was “Actually show up to help the villages who pay you tribute when another threat comes up.” As the centuries passed, that became “Protect people in your territ

 It had been some time since the (technically) Greater Kitsune called Mercy had been released from her seal. Since then, she’d faced kaiju, monster wolves, fiends, haunted (and not) games, and many, many more. She’d made friends, human and otherwise - starting with the “Occult Club” who’d first released her. As the months passed, she’d lost some of those friends to other predators, and even claimed a rare few herself - though to say they were part of her wasn’t accurate by her

And here at the Greenridge orphanage, the outside world felt particularly hostile this year. If you only had the paperwork to go off of, one might mistake their situation for “business as usual” for a lean year. More orphans enrolled into the system, budg

 Tanya had had a lucky life. She was able to become a trainer at a very young age, with one of the cutest and best pokemon ever: an Eevee. True, they didn’t always win against other trainers, but the two of them had gotten in synch enough that no wild pokemon around could match them. When Eevee fell, that just meant a trip back to the pokemon center and a session of cuddling to make it up to her. Tanya had done her research about eevees, and the different ways they could adapt to their su
