A sharp, sudden ring startled me as it broke the silence of the night. It was the front door. The series of low knocks that followed indicated me that it was a new job. I already knew that, no one visits me at this time of night. Not anymore. I got up from my chair and opened the door with a tattooed hand, inscribed with the image of a closed eye. Two young men that looked like they just ran a marathon were waiting behind it, breathing heavily, and one of them hastily handed me a piece of paper. "This one's straight from the boss. You'll have to be quick." He said between his ragged breaths. I answered him with a single nod to show him I wa

I met the Neko-lookalike at our usual place, a small plaza in the Low Tier, halfway between our respective homes. She was silent, modest, and undeniably beautiful. Her gorgeous cat-like ruby eyes fixed on me as she spotted me coming close. A half smile came to my lips, answered on her side by a true, big one. No words needed, I extended my arm and she took it, then we started walking together towards the Middle Tier. The setting sun, speared in the myriad of pointed roofs and towers, was casting its last rays before disappearing, painting the city in a deep orange. The walk was silent, not that it was something uncommon, but I felt like chan

Felarya Claire Minalca Ureile Mitan, a name with the sole purpose of mocking the gods, and even the world itself. She disliked that name, dearly, and still couldn't bring herself to answer whenever someone called her like that. Not even after twenty five years of being called that way. It was just... unnatural. It was not uncommon for people of her standing to have really pompous and long given names, more so in the Mitan family, but no one ever dared to call their children the same as a goddess or the world. Her father was the one who broke such taboo, not thinking of what would it mean to her. In fact, he was very proud of it, boasting abo

In a tavern at the Lower Tier of Negav, the mood this very night was unusually good, with various characters filling the antique-looking tables and chairs crammed in the not so spacious room. The atmosphere was noisy but welcoming, with the yellowish orange light doing the most part for the cosiness of the place. At a table near the entrance, two rowdy men, whose beards you'd think they belong to some Dwarf or maybe a Viking from the old fantastic stories, were exchanging taunts in a very harpyish manner, only to laugh and then clink their giant-sized beer jars. In another table near the centre, a small man wearing a cloak was bellowing jape
