Ling Qi ran her fingers through her little sister's hair, humming softly as the young girl curled up against her. The pressure on her chest and lap were a little uncomfortable, but no more than that, beneath the layers of medicinal wrapping.

Looking out over the garden, she tugged the blanket up further as streamers of colorful fire ro...

"Holy shit, what did you do?"

"Hello to you, too," Ling Qi said over the rim of her wine cup. The guestroom of the traveler’s inn had not changed much from when she had been here last. Last time, Meizhen had invited her out here to meet Xiao Fen. The furnishings were plain but well put together, and the privacy wards were acceptable ...

It did not even feel like stepping back into the material world, stepping from the Godpaths into the lands around fallen Tephren. Once the first city, the land where the young gods had gathered around their father, Firstborn and incarnation of the Sun, to fight back the black chaos of the stars. It was a monument to humanity, and the triumph ove...

"Goodness, Ling Qi! You just cannot keep out of trouble, can you?"

"So I have been told again and again," Ling Qi said wryly.

The gangly silk wrapped skeleton serving their tea bowed with a flourish, dapper black servant’s robes rustling around its limbs. The empty eye sockets of the horse's skull that made its head glowed ...

Ling Qi completed the adoption ceremony by extending her hand toward Ling Nuan. It was awkward doing so while sitting down, but she was tall enough that it still worked.

Ling Nuan took her hand and raised her head, turning to look out over the gathered household.

"Thank you, my clan head," she said roughly. She did not strict...

“I worry my challenge might have been too crude a thrust, honestly,” Bai Meizhen said mildly, accepting a cup of wine from Xiao Fen.

The speaker smiled thinly, the light of the lanterns glinting off lenses of the eyeglasses perched on her nose. It was a strange statement for an accessory. Even if one used them for meticulous work, ...

“First, Hero of the Siege of Bajian, my General Gu Zhuxin, rise and receive your honors…”

Gu Xiulan kept herself sitting meticulously straight as father’s voice boomed over the whispering and small sounds of the filled hall, and a man she recognized vaguely as second cousin once removed, a man of her fathers generation… a ...

The exterior of the temple complex sprawled over the hills which stood to the east of Irem, the Sleeper city which the temple protected, snug in the bend of the great river. Hori observed the motion of the distant sleepers through their clean streets, from the laborers in the fields, and the little fisher boats, to the priests of the lower templ...

Ling Qi dipped her head in acknowledgment. "What are you thinking?" she asked Yu Nuan.

"I have my Savage Storms Sonata. It would let someone get started on a path like mine. I've integrated it already, like I think you did with that mist art of yours. It calls the lightning and the thunder to your strings. It's mostly for battering ...

"Welcome back, Yu Nuan."

The girl's hair was a little longer, falling down loosely over the right side of her head and cropped close on the left. The bright electric blue color was highlighted with streaks of white and darker blue. 

The metal piercings seemed to have multiplied, too. The one ear Ling Qi could see was ...

Sunlight crested over the white dunes of the outer land, catching upon countless millions of smooth grains. Each mote of glittering, reflected light came together, a vision of the purity of the Highest rippling across the distant horizon.

The comb tugged at the strands of her hair, causing a faint prickle on her scalp.

"You have gained another inch. An immortal body's vitality truly is unmatched," her mother, Ling Qingge, observed.

She was managing to sit up without support today. Though she could feel her focus and energy trickling away from the strain, it wa...

“You’re lucky you're so comfy, or I’d have never agreed to trudge all the way up here,” Hanyi huffed, crossing her army haughtily.

“I, Zhen, have been doing all the trudging.”

The mountain stone groaned under his tread, but he did not worry much, though the old and hoary m...

Bai Nuying was a tall girl, graceful and willowy. Bai Meizhen studied her with a blank expression from the balcony, not being so uncouth as to stare directly. She had changed herself in these last two years. When they had seen each other last, their styles were similar, only their heights and the relative sharpness of their jawlines setting them...

“Welcome! Xiulan, my daughter, welcome,” her father said as she approached the table through one of the clear paths left. She was pleased to see not a few double takes and lapses of silence in the wake of her stride, combined with the more normal toasts and cheers for a young officer.

“I am pleased to take my seat at your side...

It was truly an honor to undertake such a project with one of the kin.

"For what it is worth, things should settle down soon for a time. The major campaign will not start until after year’s end. You shall have plenty of time to view your lands and work on them even with your remaining recovery time ahead," Bao Qian  glanced at her before seating himself on the edge of the veranda beside her chair.

It was strange and a little scary, to be a King.

The echoing emptiness where he reached out, finding no lord above him, no great storm pressing down, no courts and enclaves of power rebuffing his still young roots. There were the sleeping mountains, whose titanic stony hides and shells stretched into the sky. But there were not kin...
