“Is that a snowman, Talcott?” Kendall had meant to say it in a completely normal, non-judgemental way. It didn’t come out like that at all. It came out as though they were sneering at him, and they tried to backtrack a little, but they couldn’t think of anything to say. At least nothing that would make the situation more bearable and themself seem like less of an asshole. Goddamn it, Kendall. “It looks good,” Kendall said in the end. “The snowman, that is....

- Okay, guys! I'm so sorry for what I've caused! But I'll do a favor in exchange for what I've done! So please, don't kill me!    In tears, the poor little Blue cries to the crowd. They were all looking at her menacingly, which left her scared to the bone. She worries about her two friends too; where are they now? But she can't look through the crowd to see what happened to them. There's just one way to check: make an escape out of this...

- I'm so sorry...    Blue said in tears while the serpents and Nimares tied her down. They stand in a circle around the chaos maker that blew up the frozen lake surface. The effect of that explosion broke down the whole ice surface and made the serpents fall into water. It's not dangerous since all of them can swim easily, but it is very cold. To the Nimare, who live mainly underwater, it's not a thing, but not all serpents were ready to be soaked wet and enter a very much colder env...

Ylli and Hotaru often worked together. Hotaru wasn’t a stranger to Ylli’s work habits and discipline. She didn’t trust Ylli because they worked together — although that was, admittedly, a large part of it — but rather because they were friends. And because they met through work. So work was a big thing for Hotaru. Nothing wrong with that. In fact, she felt it would be wrong if it wasn’t like that. And still, in the spaces between their jobs, she’d gotten to know Ylli di...

- About this, you're the best at it, Blue! You live in Levitheas, no? You were at the lowest temperature ever! You should try it!    Collett pushes Blue from behind when Lana just stands nearby, watching them. The two girls have decided to go on a trip to Neo-Maera to visit Lana because she has caught a cold after a rough trip when she got into this realm. She was submerged in the water for too long in the winter; what torture! She has been sick for a week and has just recently been ...

Riel seemed to doubt Therasia’s ability to turn the ice block into anything substantial. That was alright — Therasia doubted her own ability to make anything substantial out of ice too. But she’d be damned if she gave up now, especially after she’d dragged Riel all the way there. Or he’d dragged her, maybe, she wasn’t sure. Somebody had to make a suggestion first, but somebody also had to be bold enough to follow through. If she had to bet on it, she’d bet on herself being the b...

   The mission leaves every girl in a terrible, exhausted state. All of them look like they are not waking up anymore. Those who are still conscious have bags under their eyes and have been dozing off at any moment. But at least the realm is in peace now, and gladly, none of them were killed during the crazy, large-scale battle. Their companions are also drained out; they'll need a long time of rest and delicious food to gain back the lost artifact power. Both humans and the critters got to...
