“There you are!” Gwendith’s voice brought Yuriko out of her trance. She blinked at the girl from her Runescribe station, and she put down the wooden plate she’d been working on.
The runescript patterns were simple. The central concepts revolved around toughness, reinforcement, and r...
2022-06-20 13:16:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe Frozen Camp erupted in activity. Practically everyone who wasn't guarding the walls had been working non-stop to prepare for their departure. The Plasma Carronades and the Protective Dome were the last ones to be dismantled and Yuriko wasn’t sure if that was even possible given the circumst...

Since we cannot make art albums here, we're consolidating all character art for "Chronicles of the Exalted Sun Child" in this post.

Hi all!
Just putting this out there again. :D
There will be no chapters released on June 13 and regular posting will resume on June 20.
One little thing: artwork for the characters have been in progress in the background and we'll be putting up a new post where we will collect a...
2022-06-06 14:05:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe meeting went on for a few more minutes as Marron described what he saw. At one point, when he spoke about his return trip, he hesitated and looked pale. He paused for a couple of seconds, then continued as if nothing had happened.
Yuriko held his arm, stroking it soothingly. He returned...
2022-06-06 14:01:03 +0000 UTC View PostMarron opened his eyes and scrubbed away the accumulated gunk at the corners. He’d gotten maybe a couple of hours sleep and his head was pounding now. He focused to channel Recovery, hoping the technique would alleviate his drowsiness and headache.
The familiar spike of pain arrived, and ...
2022-06-06 13:46:00 +0000 UTC View Post“Who’s there?” Marron yelled as he spun on his heels, the Plasma Caster snapping up to ready position. His Animus boiled within, the liquid power releasing some of its potency to empower his Facets and his inlaid techniques.
The Plasma Caster, set to draw power from the jade cartridge...
2022-06-06 13:31:01 +0000 UTC View PostOddly enough, it was Gwendith who fell asleep first. She curled into a little ball and somehow used Yuriko’s lap as a pillow while nuzzling into her thighs. Rolling her eyes, Yuriko nudged Gwendith over to the bed and lay down next to her.
The other girl must have worried herself to exhau...
2022-06-06 13:15:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe return to the Frozen Camp was quiet. The others were already a longstride from the base of the cliff by the time Yuriko landed. It was slow going with the three remaining Colossi carrying the fourth. All three were heavily damaged but she could see the restorative runescript lines working. Th...
2022-06-06 13:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostMarron Mishala Davar carefully crept around the Wyldling patrol. It was a group of Wanderers, as idiosyncratic as that idea was. The typically solitary creatures didn’t work well together though.
This group had several variations from the base Antid though. Of the group of eight, three we...
2022-05-30 14:01:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe bedroom practically vibrated with the deafening sounds of Iola Melanthos Brygos’ snoring–not that anyone would point that out to her. One could only snore while asleep, after all, and any attempt at recording the sound was usually met with broken crystal tablets and bruised lips. Not that...
2022-05-30 13:45:01 +0000 UTC View Post‘Saki?’
Yuriko’s second attendant, a self-effacing woman who barely spoke and took Ryoko’s lead in most things. Why was she here? More importantly, she was a Knight, wasn’t she? How else could she have followed Yuriko so closely? No, wait, she was a…Shadow? Was she the one to de...
2022-05-30 13:31:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe mistress’ battle dance was so mesmerising that she spent most of the battle hidden away watching. Her sole duty was to protect Lady Yuriko Mishala, and even if the warriors around her died in droves, as long as she lived and was whole, she wouldn’t interfere.
That’s what she told ...
2022-05-30 13:16:00 +0000 UTC View PostAlmost as if to mock her optimistic thoughts, a fresh wave of barbarians arrived on the plateau. There were still a handful of behemoths and, if the beasts had worked together instead of only defending themselves when attacked, then the Imperial forces would have had a harder fight.
‘No...
2022-05-30 13:01:03 +0000 UTC View PostHey all!
As CoESC Book 6 comes to a close, we'll be taking a one-week for some much-needed rest as we go into Book 7.
It's been quite the ride taking care of these fictional kids alongside our life offline and we have enjoyed every minute of it! We realised though that we've not reall...
2022-05-23 14:06:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe colours of the planar Veil shifted and stirred. The hues flowed towards the ground but the groves in between hid at which point they focused on. Yuriko's quick glance turned into a stare. The shifting of the Veil could only mean one thing, that something was coming through the Tidelands.
<... 2022-05-23 14:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostThe sight of Yuriko levitating near the cliff wall, and pretty much climbing with barely any effort, shouldn’t have surprised Sheamus. She was a Knight and, of the other ten Knights with them, three others used their techniques to climb rather than their limbs.
Centurion Areena Henry stuc...
2022-05-23 13:45:59 +0000 UTC View Post“I want to go with you,” Gwendith said to Yuriko as she returned to her room half an hour after the conference. Her outer reserves were once again filled to the brim, but her problem had shifted from a matter of supply to a matter of force. It was an odd conundrum, she felt, considering that ...
2022-05-23 13:30:44 +0000 UTC View PostYuriko’s entrance into the battle did not go unnoticed. In fact, the bicorn straight up roared and charged towards her, muscling aside the Koinos even at the cost of a couple of strikes to the flank, which managed to draw a bit of blood. The Spear-Koinos’ weapon was coated in dense Animus and...
2022-05-23 13:15:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe Weaver of the Warp and Weft of the World knelt on one knee, on the soft grass, head bowed and careful to keep his sight level only to the feet of their Graces. The feel and weight of Chaos soothed him after an extended foray into the forsaken plane. The injuries he received in battle still si...
2022-05-23 13:01:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe boulders slammed onto the field north of the outpost and did more damage to the swarmlings than the walls. That’s what Yuriko thought anyway, since she was on the southern wall. She leapt down to the courtyard and ran towards the north, and leapt up on the wall instead of taking the stairs....
2022-05-16 14:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostBy the third day, the strict rotation on the walls had broken down enough that Commander Perry only assigned half of the original number. The rest were filled with volunteers or, more likely, bored Knights who wanted to let off some steam.
Only the Destroyers amongst the militia and the leg...
2022-05-16 13:46:00 +0000 UTC View PostYuriko exchanged glances with Gwendith then they both hurried towards the keep. As they exited the southern barracks, Yuriko heard the gates slam shut. Twilight cast long shadows across the courtyard and she could see militiamen hurrying towards the armoury. A glance along the walls showed her th...
2022-05-16 13:31:00 +0000 UTC View PostYuriko staggered out of her bedroom and saw Gwendith glaring at Desire. She was trembling, biting her lower lip with her eyes ablaze.
“Gwendith?” Yuriko asked, interrupting the staring match.
The other girl had regained much of her presence and somehow, managed to return her hair ...
2022-05-16 13:15:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe healers’ office kept Gwendith and the other women for a few hours. Diagnostic techniques showed that all of them had been suffering from some form of malnutrition, or rather, that they were recovering from malnutrition.
The odd thing was that they were much further along the road to r...
2022-05-16 13:01:04 +0000 UTC View PostAll chapters for Jade have been released! Thankfully the connection has stabilised and we can get back to the usual run of things.

2022-05-10 06:12:09 +0000 UTC View Post“Little sister!”
The high pitched squeal was all the warning Yuriko had before a dark-haired missile slammed into her middle, spun around using her as a fulcrum while she staggered at the sudden weight, and then squeezed into a fierce hug.
“Eh?”
The woman was a few inche...
2022-05-10 06:10:36 +0000 UTC View PostThe handaxe whirled in the air and struck the kneeling barbarian’s face. It was only fortune that caused the haft to hit him rather than the sharp blade. Despite the stinging pain bringing tears to his eyes, the warrior didn’t move a muscle. The barbarian weathered the words like a boulder be...
2022-05-10 03:01:22 +0000 UTC View Post“Did you see the camp?” Gwendith asked.
Yuriko shook her head. “The trees are a bit too thick.” Not to mention the hills were higher farther east.
Gwendith raised an eyebrow and grinned. “Do you think they’re headed there?” Gwendith chewed on her lower lip in thought. ...
2022-05-10 02:37:38 +0000 UTC View PostThe first night out of the plateau, Gwendith helped build their shelter for the night. Inexplicably, her Animus reserves had grown naturally and she felt herself already at Sollus. It was a pity she couldn’t take the chance to advance now. More to the point, she wasn’t sure that the part of h...
