    Summary

    “Have you frightened them all away?” he whispers to the okuri-okami, lowering his bow and letting its knocked arrow point to the earth. Ominously, the dark centers of the wolf's pale eyes roll up to meet his stare. “Only you are allowed to eat me? Is that it?”

    It gives no answer, of course. Suguru smiles, nevertheless grateful for the company—for no other ghastly, beastly resident of these woods would dare interlope on the okuri-okami’s marked hunt and steal its prey.

    Which is Suguru, apparently.

    While fleeing the Zen’in clan, Suguru takes up shelter in the shadow of an abandoned shrine, deep within forests said to crawl with all manner of monster. Soon enough, he finds himself with a strange, nightly companion: a great white wolf as liable to devour him as protect him.

    Summary

    Trapped underground with the man she loves and about as many problems on her hands as she has unspoken feelings, Lamitt has no choice but to come to terms with the vertiginous high of power—and that, scarier still, of his trust.

     

    "Ardbert, you fool. Stop giving me more excuses to become a danger to you."

    Summary

    One moment, they’re dancing around each other, the clash of steel echoing across the Steppe. Gosetsu’s heart is singing, to see his master not only alive, but well, thriving. The next, something shifts between them - imperceptible, but sudden, all at once.

    Flat on his back and the air knocked from his lungs, he can feel Hien’s heartbeat racing against his own.

    Summary

    At the end of the universe, bleeding and broken and quite certain neither of them are going to make it back alive, Meteor decides that it just doesn't seem fair that Zenos should die alone. So he drags himself to Zenos' side and collapses on top of his chest. One small comfort in what Meteor assumes to be their final moments. At least, until he wakes up in Old Sharlayan some time later to find that he was not the only one who made it home.
