I was completing my daily quest, combating the dreaded Unclean from mid morning to the end of the the Luncheon, when I found something so horrifying it nearly made me cry. Upon one of the Unclean, mixed with various bits of Spiced Potato and the remnants of some avian creature’s eggs was a single piece of damaged divinity. A rare masterpeice crafted from the juices of the Maple Land, and infused into a slab of icing for common cookies, which is then sandwiched between two biscuits, often shaped in the manner of the Maple Land’s symbol. This single piece of divinity was partially eaten, and had not been finished! What kind of cruel

Sleeping Beauty
"Once upon a kingdom, a princess was born. Throughout the land, there were celebrations and people flocked to meet the beautiful young girl. Her name was Aurora."
...
A living mummy. Luke hardly thought that was the right way to describe the seemingly youthful girl suspended in the ice. She had hair of gold and skin as white as snow. Her lips were parted slightly in sleep. She wore an elegant dress, pointed slippers, and a curious pendant on her forehead, like a crown.
It was wonder at first sight for Luke. "Wow," he breathed. "She's beautiful..." Never had such eminence been witnessed by human eyes.
The girl's loveliness only became more

Bed and Maybe Breakfast
“Mmph,” Fai uttered in muffled complaint as Kurogane’s lips connected a little too forcefully with his own. They had barely gotten behind closed doors before the ninja had taken him into his arms, kissing him fervently. “Easy, Kuro,” the mage softly chided as their lips broke contact. “There’s no need to rush.”
But Kurogane had already sloughed off his jacket, tossing it to the side of the room, and was moving to remove Fai’s as well, fingers fumbling with buttons as he nuzzled his face into the side of Fai’s neck. “I haven’t had you to myself in weeks,” the wa

(y/n) wasn't expecting this most recent excursion of Hershel's to be so tense and life threatening. She and the professor had gone on many digs together, each one with its own combination of excitement and thrills. The past two have been the most exhilarating. She joined Professor Layton and Emmy on their journey to Misthalery, meeting Clark Tr

My partner, my equal.
You are the key foundation to my entire being and if that pillar is broken then I will fall.
Into a million pieces I will become naught but dust for all to walk upon,
and when time comes to an end I will be the first to go, because your pillar was not there to be my strengths when all else failed.
You are my partner, we are equals, and because of that neither one of us will ever be more important than the other, you are special, I am special, my needs and yours are met in the middle.
As a body cannot move without muscle,
I can not do any of these things without you.
Scarlet looked at the brazen locks falling from her head, her very scalp devoid of even the tiniest stubble of hair. Shock was the emotion that took hold of her first, then an odd feeling of something forbidden hit her, like an unsaid rule had been broken. A rule that said 'all women must have hair'. Ridiculous as it was. The next feeling that hit her came down to vanity; she felt naked without her hair.
The shocked girl could feel the cold autumn winds gentle caress against her newly attacked scalp, could feel the suns rays warming it again. It was the weirdest and most alien feeling despite the fact that the rest of her body often felt the

The Grave
Flora walked with the Professor by his side. She was carefully treading among the slippery wet grass, wet from the rain that poured earlier this morning. A few rays of sunlight shined through the cloudy sky.
Flora scanned around the graveyard; it almost looked like her and the Professor were the only ones visiting the place at the moment. It was a bit unsettling.
Luke was not with them at the moment, as he was off on a holiday to visit them for a week; even if he was gone for just a few days, Flora missed his company greatly, but she would love to hear about what he did with them over the week. She had met his parents before an

Swaine looked back to see Oliver running to catch up to him, the boy's red cloak flapping in the slight breeze. He smirked at the boy's enthusiasm.
"Are you ready to go, Swaine?"
"Are you, Oliver?" he replied. Oliver's mop of reddish brown hair bobbed up and down as he nodded furiously. "Alright then, let's go." Esther soon joined them carrying a small bag.
"Ready when you are, Oliver," she said, while Oliver nodded.
"Alright then, let's go!" The four of them walked onto the gang plank and onto the ship. The sounds of waves and the creaking of the ship was already familiar to him, as he traveled frequently.
The Captain turned and gave them a

Swaine watched as the city guard hurried to where he sat at the edge of the fountain.
"Sir, they were allowed to see the Cowlipha!"
"Yeah? Oh, is that so?" he smirked as he watched the children emerge from the palace. "Well, well, well. So they got into the palace, did they?" He turned to face the guard. "And what did they talk about?"
"Cheese and restraint was all I could glean," the guard admitted.
Swaine looked up at the guard, his eyes widening slightly in surprise. "Did they now?" The guard nodded. "Okay, keep me posted on what's going on inside." He looked at the fountain, trying to catch a glimpse of the children as they walked away.

He watched, from a distance as the children and the fairy were confronted with the governer of Castaway Cove. He rubbed the stubble on his chin as he smirked. It was probably because they weren't wearing bathing suits. Something about not being able to conceal weapons; his hand strayed to the pistol he kept hidden inside his coat, checking to see that it was still there. Theives can still be the victims of theft, and that pistol was too valuable to get stolen.
The children went off with the governer to get changed, and as he waited, he quickly stole a little snack. He couldn't help himself, they were unaware, he was hungry, and what they had
