Chapter 24: Nineteen years ago.

“it would seem I have nothing left to teach you Anemone.” “Thank you master Udo.” Anemone and Udo bowed in front of each other, the 18 year old girl’s training was complete, a master of her abilities, it was time for her to leave the dojo and live her life, but something was still on […]

Chapter 23: Koob.

As the trio walked up to the Koob entranceway even in the night the mirrored walls had a significant glare about them, and when they entered it was almost more than Aella could take. “Are those… street lights?” “yeah, electric too. Pretty cool huh?” Claire was happy too show off his home town. The whole […]

Chapter 22. Night attack.

Doll could feel them, they were surrounding her, she could feel the patterns of their planned attacks almost instinctively now, her attunement to the Qi of others had developed substantially in the past year. At this moment she knew precisely how to counter their first wave, and how to cope with the assassins reaction to […]

Chapter 21: Cadence.

Aella, Timon and Claire continued their march towards Koob, night was starting to take hold but they didn’t want to stop when their goal was so close. “And what do we have here?” A woman’s voice came from behind the three, they turned sharply to see a woman with a long fringe almost as tall […]

Chapter 20: Waiting.

Doll knew the samurai’s master would not be pleased she had survived, and expected his retaliation. She climbed mount Brave, where she could be certain a battle of any scale was out of reach of civilians, even out of site depending on the weather, the peak of the mountain was usually shrouded in mist.

Chapter 19: Three Brothers.

Aella, Timon and Claire pushed towards Koob as the evening wore on, but they weren’t focussed like before.

Chapter 18: Udo.

A long, long way from Koob, an old man sits at the centre of an almost otherworldly building, he watches the entrance which leads to a bridge so long its hard to make out the other side. As the shadows grow longer in the arena the old man sees the bridge has been clear all […]

Chapter 17: The journey resumes.

The next day was like the one before it, clear and sunny, and the three set off through the fields in the direction of Koob as they had done before (if at a slightly more reasonable pace). “I’ve been thinking Claire” Aella started. “Careful, don’t hurt yourself.” Claire responded. “whatever, I was thinking how you […]

Chapter 16: Back with the trio.

“Are you still out of energy?” Timon asked. “Well yeah, have you seen what I have to carry round?!” snapped Claire. “I think we should stop here for the night, its a bad idea to travel in the dark.” Aella said, looking across the fields. “oh yeah and how do you know?” jeered Claire. “I… […]

Chapter 15: An insult he wont stand for.

500 assassins stand before their master beneath the dojo, the master is clearly furious, that someone would kill his samurai and take the glow that was rightfully his called for a drastic response, twice now Doll had insulted him, and this time it was too far. “I don’t care if you have to die to […]
