by Ran-Rii

A story written to tie in EoSD with PCB, starring Keine Kamishirasawa.

With the burden of the Human Village resting on her shoulders, she tries to find a solution.

1. The Winter that Lasted Five Months

This is my first time writing a story. From the title, you could probably guess that I am writing a story that links EoSD with PCB. Opinions are very much welcome.

Indeed, that is my plan for this story, though eventually the plot with expand to IN, PoFV and MoF. I shall be depicting spellcard battles as largely physical combat than anything, so please do not be upset about the lack of bullets.

Without further ado, here is the prologue.

A lone girl sat at the porch of an old, traditional Japanese house as she looked into the winter landscape in the midst of the surrounding darkness. It was the fifteenth day of the third month. She craned her neck forward, to see when the falling flakes of snow would finally stop.

Just then, a ray of light shone over the horizon and cut through the dark shade of blue in the skies. The girl stood up, and heaved herself back through the doors of her room.
