2024-12-11 21:00:54 +0000 UTC View PostThe silk shimmered and took on a metallic tinge. The sweeping lower hem tightened and split along the sides, slits rising to her calf as the slippers beneath transformed into supple boots, plated, shod, and riveted with silvery-steel. The same color bloomed out around the opening of her sleeves. Silvery wire lace as light as clouds curled out li...
2024-12-10 00:49:29 +0000 UTC View PostBai Meizhen starred the arena below as Ling Qi’s bone-rattling, empty shriek of a finale echoed through the formation arrays which conveyed the sight and sound to the audience boxes… and Sun Liling dissolved into winking lights whisked away by the emergency arrays.
Ling Qi’s head lolled back on her shoulders as she collapsed to her k...
2024-12-08 19:38:42 +0000 UTC View Post“Yes, lets,” Bai Meizhen said carefully, drawing another long sip from her wine, savoring the faint buzz. “You have seen something of mine. I intend to present a pole among the younger generation, an alternative to Bai Nuying, for all that I intend to remain in the diplomatic corps for now.”
“Difficult, you intend to challenge he...

2024-12-04 21:01:44 +0000 UTC View Post“So you both gonna be on horseback for this, how about the little flame fairy?” Zheng Nan asked, rolling his shoulders as they strode toward the sparring ring.
“I think not,” Gu Xiulan replied, earning a disgruntled pout in the back of her head from the fairy lurking in her dantian. “Perhaps later, spirits would only overcomplica...
2024-12-04 19:38:24 +0000 UTC View PostWill both be going up this week still, the first might end up coming out tomorrow though.

2024-11-27 20:57:33 +0000 UTC View PostWhispering Thoughts. Soul Shield. Kin?
"They are." Ling Qi smoothed the now glittering silks and watched the snow embroidery move like a living panorama over black silk. She could feel her bond with her gown spirit settling back into place, a firm connection, but more complex now. It was the difference between a single spun co...
2024-11-26 00:58:49 +0000 UTC View PostAN: So, this is the first of a new type of commisssion. 'Phantom Line' pieces are AU's depicting events from essentially alternate timelines to the main story. Enjoy.
Ling Qi took in a small, sharp breath as the Sect Head's words and the audience's noise washed over her. Her heart was thundering in her ears. Her opp...
2024-11-24 19:23:22 +0000 UTC View PostLing Qi embraced Hanyi tightly, her nose full of the wintergreen scent of her junior sister's hair. Said junior sister squirmed as she hugged her back, patting her shoulders. She could feel the increased chill as her sister’s snow white cheeks flushed a dark blue.
"C'mon, Big Sis. Not in front of everybody!" Hanyi whispered. 2024-11-21 23:10:53 +0000 UTC View Post
The mist roiled with swirling snows, filling the courtyard with leeching cold. Frost hardened the packed dirt to stone and crawled up the columns supporting the peaked roof over the open viewing deck which overlooked the training field. In the courtyard, nothing could be seen, only the blank white of deepest winter.
Suddenly, it spl...
2024-11-19 01:44:34 +0000 UTC View PostAsh Storm.
A phrase that had sounded absurd to Oktai’s ears when he had first heard it. He knew what ash was. The remnants of cookfires or at most the distant tales of mountains where the Mother’s wrath boiled from smoking peaks.
There were so many of those peaks here, but the lung-searing breath-killing clouds they be...
2024-11-17 21:55:24 +0000 UTC View PostLing Qi was going to have to adjust her strategy in the future.
"But that aside, the mission was successful, and you did not damage your health?"
"I have put some strain on my meridians and body but no more than is required for recovery,," Ling Qi reported, straightening up. "I will need to be on light duty for a day or two."

2024-11-14 22:12:25 +0000 UTC View PostPreparations. Preparations for war, preparations for diplomacy. The world is in motion and Ling Qi can hardly count the number of loose ends and new business she has to tie up. Her great task lies before her, a great summit with the people of the south to determine what the future will be, but still the Argent Peak Sect stirs to war with both th...

2024-11-13 21:12:27 +0000 UTC View PostLing Qi looked out over the glacier, now stained in the colors of the sunset. Her eyes followed the glittering blue trails of the streams and little rivers that trickled down to disappear beneath trees and between valleys.
The Weeping Mother's cold was not her cold, but there was a point in the spirit’s vision which she had not prope...
2024-11-12 00:04:04 +0000 UTC View PostA sheen of rippling color, a faint distortion against the dry sandy cliffside above and the clouds overhead, and even that he only caught in the slight dissonance that lay between the sight of his beast eyes and his human ones. His saber was in his hand before the final word had finished being spoken.
“And who is it who gives me this...
2024-11-10 20:04:32 +0000 UTC View PostSo coming out of the final bit of schedule turbulence for the week, I want to talk with everyone what the plans for the holidays are so there's no surprises going forward. Thank you all so much for another year of support, I'll be looking forward to getting you all more content to enjoy in the next one.
There will be no update on th...
2024-11-10 17:39:27 +0000 UTC View Post“What nonsense is this?”
Bai Nuying’s hissing, enraged voice broke the echoing silence that followed the proctor's pronouncement. Her cousin had already wrenched herself up from the earth, the dust and mud flung from her robes by the rippling force of angry qi as she reared up on her reforming coils. “Even with this wound, I am...
2024-11-09 19:11:14 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, sorry for the delays, Serpent's Eyes is coming up soon. Expect the bonus chapter tomorrow.

2024-11-06 20:25:00 +0000 UTC View PostZheng Nan had cleaned up a little it seemed. At the very least, he no longer looked entirely like an oversized scruffy beggar. A steel breastplate, an armored circlet and face guard, bracers, and armored boots replaced sandals and ragged tunic. As soon as he saw her approaching, he smirked at her and turned to put himself in profile against the ...
2024-11-06 18:46:45 +0000 UTC View PostOktai closed his human eyes, looking out over the world with the eyes of his beast self alone. The colors were sharp and searing, flakes of snow and specks of dust were thrown in sharp relief, and even the waving descent of the sun's and star's light was visible, a hazy skein over the iron grey sky.
“None will begrudge you for not ta...
2024-11-03 20:22:51 +0000 UTC View PostEach word of Bao Qian’s had been punctuated by a pulse of gold. The rock thrummed under his feet in time with his words, and the gemstones woven through the fabric of his clothes and set in his belt and rings flashed in time as well.
It was easy sometimes to forget that Bao Qian was a stage above her in cultivation, and well in...

2024-10-30 20:17:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe very first steps were cloying and slow. It felt like walking face first into a pool of mud. The darkness of the stairwell did not just cling, it dragged and it pulled and it suffocated, threatening to choke and flood her lungs. It was cold in a way that transcended anything physical, a want so dense it had congealed into something near solid...
2024-10-28 22:30:34 +0000 UTC View PostShe listened to her own ragged breathing and felt the boiling heat of the seams in her soul, where dress and girl were bound. What she did not do was obey immediately. Disrespectful. It would have been Mother’s right to chastise her harshly.
The radiance enveloped her, shining and without any more force than its mere presence conveye...
2024-10-27 20:12:52 +0000 UTC View PostTheir journey into the mountains began early the next day. It didn't take long to return to the base of the mountain where they had confronted the faeries of the snowstorm the previous day, but now, it was time to go beyond that, up toward the mountain peak where the most potent concentration of icy qi slept.
This was not going to be l...
