It altered the air. Not physically. Structurally. The ...

Memoirs 399 - Handouts

“I hope that you are all prepared,” Scarlett said, looking over the others seated before her.

“If we’re not, can we take another hour or two of sleep and pick this up after that?” R...

Memoirs 398 - Shadows

“Allegiance?” Nol’viz whispered, tasting the word as though it were foreign. “We do not have allegiance.”

“You are of the Hallowed Cabal,” Slate said.

“Yes.”

Memoirs 397 - Interrogative

“That should suffice for the time being,” Scarlett said, evaporating a bead of sweat from her temple with a flicker of hydrokinesis. She pushed herself up from her knees and stepped back to sur...

Memoires 396 - Mornings

Scarlett shaped the current of her mana, coaxing it into fine, curling threads that followed a pattern half-remembered and half-inherited. She listened for the faintest shifts as the strands wound ...

Memoirs 392 - Setting down the cards

Neither of them spoke for some time.

The office breathed around them in low candlelight. Scarlett rested her hands on the desk, lacing her fingers briefly before letting them spread against t...

Memoirs 391 - Saying hello

Scarlett was back in her office, seated in her chair. Empress lounged on the desk before her, tail flicking idly. Opposite sat The Gentleman, a distinct furrow creasing his brow.

“I am disa...

Memoirs 390 - Aurelian

Empress watched her a moment longer before rising and padding past, her tail brushing Scarlett’s legs as she slipped down the street. A few passers-by cast brief glances at the feline, then turne...

Memoirs 389 - A favour paid

Empress was considerate enough to vacate the armchair, leaping onto the desk instead as Scarlett took her seat. The cat curled neatly upon it, tail flicking across her nose as she fixed Scarlett wi...

Memoirs 388 - Home sweet home

The carriage wheels rattled over the cobbled streets, the cabin swaying gently with each uneven turn. Outside, dusk pressed in, cloaking Freybrook in a dim veil of purples and greys. A thin scatter...

Memoirs 387 - Triad

“Baroness,” Yamina said. “I imagine there’s much for you to see to now?”

“There is,” Scarlett answered, gesturing for Slate to follow as she made her way towards the edge of the...

Memoirs 386 - The other wake-up call

A heavy fog slowly receded from Leon’s mind as his eyes fluttered open to a ceiling of cold, carefully hewn stone. His body felt stiff, as though he’d been locked in battle for hours, but there...

Memoirs 385 - Drawn lines
