The Fell Priestess Amaryllis passed through the cell door, holding her usual collection bucket in both hands with the jar of lubricant rattling around inside. It was time for the daily milking of the slave formerly known as the Divine One... Alear.The door was open already; Lady Veyle was inside, bouncing enthusiastically on the shackled Alear's lap as the two sat, face-to-face, on the toilet. A sadistic smirk twisted the Fell Princess's features as she locked eyes with her sister. "Come on, dea

The Divine Dragon Alear lightly rapped on the door to Citrinne's room, leaning her head in. "Hey, Citrinne. Are you available? Would it be alright if I ran something by you?"Citrinne looked up from her mental exercises - a sequence of spellcasting that stopped just short of loosing the arcane force. She crushed a ball of lightning in her hand, letting it dissipate harmlessly. "Of course, Divine One." She turned toward the Divine Dragon, stretching her arms over her head. "What can I do for you?"

The Divine Dragon's party approached the Grand Crossing, ready to confront the bandits who had been robbing passersby who had to cross the bridge."Okay, I know my art, I have my staff, I have my vulnerary, I'm ready to fight. I am. I can do this," Jean repeated to himself. It was the fourth time he had given himself this pep talk in the last five minutes. "It's the first step toward my dream."Céline raised her eyebrows at Alear. She was not dressed for battle, as the Divine One had asked her to

"What's taking so long? I smell dinner~!" Tiki announced in a sing-song voice. "Go get 'em, my pets! Eat up!"Panic broke out in the army's ranks as the already exhausted, overwhelmed party of heroes heard Tiki's understated threat."We're barely keeping up as it is!" Alcryst whined, trembling. "Though that's mostly my fault, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry..."Etie put her hands on her hips. "And you brought a child here?!""You try convincing her to stay home! I don't think it's possible!" Alear prote

Citrinne swished her magnificent new Sage robes as she wandered through Florra Town, accompanying Lapis and Prince Alcryst from close behind. All she could think about was how honored she was.The Divine Dragon chose me... She invested in me... Even after I almost attacked her, even though she only barely knows me, it was me she bought new tomes for and me she dressed in brand-new robes... I won't let you down, Divine One! Citrinne thought, her face beaming at private fantasies of singlehandedly

"Look out, Prince Alcryst!" Lapis yelled, darting back to cover her beloved prince with her sword, deflecting a lance swing that was aimed right at his midsection. She skidded back a few feet, gritting her teeth and watching her sword bounce aside. As her opponent readied another swing, Lapis did her best to cover her stomach with a guard stance - and then watched, dumbfounded, as her opponent was blasted off the side of the great bridge known as the Grand Crossing by a surge of magical energy.C

It had been a few days since the incident where Framme had been severely wounded by Marni. Pandreo had finally given her the go-ahead to rest. And Framme had tried very hard to respect what she'd been told - to treat her stitches with care, to take it easy. To help the medicine do its work. To sit still for a while.But when the Divine Dragon was right nearby, it was hard to sit still. Framme's crush had not been dampened at all by the way the Divine One had swept her up into her arms and carried

With the retreat of the Four Hounds and Fell Dragon's forces, smoke rose over the destroyed town of Florra Port, having been burned to the ground on the order of the Fell Princess, Veyle...or, at least, the crueler side of her personality, as had now been made clear. The battle had been grueling for the Divine Dragon's army, and morale wasn't helped by them arriving too late to actually save the town. A few of the Firenese villagers had survived, but far more had been devoured by enemy soldiers

The beautifully-crafted sword Libération gleamed in the light of the midday sun where it streamed through the castle windows. Divine Dragon Alear lowered it down, pointing it toward the Elusian army and their leader, Nelucce. “We have not so much as suffered a single casualty in all our battles together. We are strong in our friendship and destined to win! Leave this castle at once, or we will be forced to stop you with violence!”There was a long, tense silence in the Firene Castle hall, lo
