2024-03-10 12:06:58 +0000 UTC View PostElania stood amidst the carnage, her divine form shimmering with an ethereal glow. The Lightbringers’ retreat had left the battlefield strewn with the fallen, their broken bodies a testament to the ferocity of the combat.
She moved among the corpses, her hand outstretched, drawing forth t...
2024-03-10 10:40:13 +0000 UTC View PostElania touched down on the gate roof, her wings folding neatly behind her back.
The guards on duty snapped to attention, wary expressions glued to their faces as they determined whether or not she was a threat. Even when they figured out she was there to help, they didn’t relax.

This isn't 100% hard or anything, but gives a good general idea of what my thoughts are on how things will go. It's subject to change, yadda yadda. But I feel it might be a general help to visualizing when and what I will be writing things!

2024-03-10 05:00:31 +0000 UTC View PostElania woke up feeling drained, the events of the previous day still weighing heavily on her mind.
She dragged herself out of bed and into the bathroom, splashing cold water on her face to help her focus.
The reflection in the mirror told her what she had already noticed: she looked l...
2024-03-10 04:37:27 +0000 UTC View PostElania stepped onto the half-sized elevator beside Yolani and then got a good hold on the handlebar. The Celestial Engine pulsed and spun in the background as they descended towards the control room.
She closed her eyes, reaching out with her senses to gauge the engine’s power. A frown cr...

Elania felt confusion and shock hit her as she scanned the opulence that surrounded her, and Yolani’s breath hitched in a mirror of the emotion.

2024-03-09 08:32:03 +0000 UTC View PostElania stepped out of the carriage, her eyes immediately drawn to the damage that surrounded them.
The seraph’s attack had left a trail of destruction in its wake, the once pristine streets and rows of magistrate buildings now marred by rubble and debris.
The laser beam had cut thro...
2024-03-09 06:58:49 +0000 UTC View PostElania soared high into the air, the wind whipping through her hair as she put distance between herself and the Elder.
Almost immediately, the incorporeal and insidious restraining spell the elders used hit her. It felt like her wings were heavy, and she was a rock…
A rock with a de...
2024-03-08 21:59:05 +0000 UTC View PostElania soared high above the rooftops, keeping pace with the carriage below. Her wings cut through the air effortlessly as she scanned the streets for any signs of danger.
They were there alright, moving into position at the intersections as the carriage blew past them. Yolani was preventin...

2024-03-06 01:36:54 +0000 UTC View PostElania folded her arms. It just so happened that her wings did the opposite, lifting off her shoulders and standing vertically, like a starry peacock’s tail. It was an involuntary form of body language, like when her ears twitched in Darkwalker form.
It also scared most of the people in t...
2024-03-05 06:51:15 +0000 UTC View PostYolani let out a weak groan as consciousness returned to her slowly.
A scent of cinnamon infiltrated her senses. Her head and ears were cradled on something soft and warm.
Her whole body felt light, like she was on a cloud, and waking up felt like the last thing in the world she wante...
2024-03-04 07:27:07 +0000 UTC View PostYolani peered at the small mirror they had found in the burnt-out building, holding it around the edge of the alley to scout the street.
Nothing moved, except for a few spots of smoldering debris that had burnt itself out. It had been a while since they’d heard any gunfire or spells, but ...
2024-03-03 05:44:18 +0000 UTC View PostElania’s wings beat against the air as she ascended high enough to touch one of the light stones that illuminated the city. The glare from up close was strong, but she avoided looking at them in favor of scanning the city below.
As high as she was, it was hard to make out individual peopl...

2024-03-01 06:19:57 +0000 UTC View PostElania’s vision blurred as she shot forward, her wings trailing behind her like a shimmering comet tail. Whatever they were chanting, she could feel a slight pressure growing now that she knew what being restrained felt like.
Letting them finish would be a mistake.
Before she reache...
