Of Grimm and Blazing Infernos
«»
"We've been walking for some time now…" noted Inuba as she walked close to me.
We had been traveling through the Emerald Forest for some time now, meeting little resistance along the way. Well...to put it more bluntly, what I mean by little resistance is that there weren't all too powerful Grimm along the way that forced us to stop. Inuba and I actually took turns destroying packs that came along the way. I'd take three seconds to hack them down, and Inuba would just stick out her hand and roast them to a nice crisp. More like dusty ashes, but you get the idea.
"Well, we could run, but I don't think we have a specified time period to get this done. So we won't rush. Rushing leads to mistakes, so forth and so on." I told here rotating my hand around.
"I understand that much, but we could at least attempt to find your brother and sister. They're not all too far away from us."
"Are they moving towards us?"
"Considering I can feel Leonard's presence ahead of Ciel's, I would assume so."
"We'll let them come to us then. It'll be easier that way. And a bit quieter…"
Inuba giggled at my comment.
"Ciel isn't that noisy, Master."
"I know. I was just poking fun is all."
I turned my head towards Inuba and noticed she had been looking of to her side towards the distance all pensive-like. She almost seemed...sad a bit? She's always been hard for me to read compared to everyone else…
"You alright there? You've been spacing out for a while." I asked.
"H-Huh?! Oh… Well I…"
She hesitated for a moment before she turned to me and said what was on her mind.
"I've been thinking of home really...and the others…"
"Right… Family and all… At least your mother is here. And who knows? It's very likely you'll see your older brother Akihito, your older sister Asahi, and your little sister Mai again soon enough. Your mother did mention she was working on a way to make that happen, so all we have to do is wait and see. Which reminds me, we should probably call her after all this."
"Yes, we should. But I really do hope to see everyone again soon…"
"Where there's a will there's a way. Don't worry. It'll happen eventually."
"That's one of the things I like about you best...Master…"
"H-Huh..?"
"You're always optimistic in trying circumstances. And in a way, it rubs off on others and makes them hopeful too."
"You really think so..?"
"Of course. After all, I have seen it for myself after all this time we've spent together." she said smiling at me.
"Right…" I said softly.
"Is something wrong?"
"No...just… You know…"
"I'm sorry, but I don't quite 'know'..."
"Uh… Well… I guess I'm just hoping things will work out for you in the end is all."
"I really hope so as well…"
Judging by the swishing noise I heard, I took a guess that Inuba's fox tail was moving around rather quickly. That happens a lot when around me…
It was then the two of us noticed rustling in the bushes and in the trees around us. The noises were quite a distance away, but soon closed in around us. Whatever hid in the trees and in the bushes had the two of us surrounded.
As soon as Inuba had her right hand hover over the hilt of her katana, and my own right hand lowered to my side, our foes had made themselves known. Two creatures about our height and size leapt out from the bush and tree nearest to us and landed directly ahead of us, just a few feet away. Their bodies were canine-like in structure, and shape, almost like a smaller Beowolf, and stood upwards on their hind legs. In fact, the creatures had indeed resembled smaller Beowolves, only they had no bone-spikes on their backs and forearms. Instead, a long trail of fur behind the head of the creatures had extended outwards, gently flapping in the breeze like scarfs. Their forearms had been plated in white, bone-like segments, and facing downward from those segments were razor sharp segments trailing along the edges that resembled hiltless throwing daggers. Now, most importantly, their heads took on a rather familiar shape to me, like that of foxes, only they had bone-plate masks adorning their faces.
Now I knew what we were facing. Kitsuninjas. Fitting name given their capabilities. These things were as swift and quick as the wind, and highly intelligent compared to their Grimm counterparts, so much so that they're capable of setting up traps. Not only that, but those razor sharp segments located on their bone segments on their forearms could actually be thrown like throwing daggers. With great accuracy mind you. If anything, these Grimm far more resembled humans rather than their brethren.
"Distant relatives of yours?" I asked Inuba as I summoned my Longsword.
She smiled at my short and simple quip and shook her head as she drew her katana.
"None that I'm aware of."
"Good then. Now I won't feel so bad."
As soon as I said this, Inuba and I immediately dashed forwards to greet our new arrivals.
(Leonard POV)
I hate this freaking forest…
Actually, no, I don't hate the forest. Rather I hate what's in it at the moment. I'd have rather continued walking on, minding my own business. But nope. Not happening. I've had to put down at least forty seven Grimm within the first ten minutes of landing. Forty three Beowolves and four Ursi.
Why can't things be simple? Or rather, why do I have to waste time with them? If it was something stronger, sure, I wouldn't have minded spending five minutes to kill it. But getting swarmed by dozens of small fry? Not an ideal way to kill time on Sunday. I'd rather play Phantom Souls with Ciel and brother, and endure their ridiculousness in the game rather than deal with all these small fry. But, I am highly effective against crowds given my abilities. Maybe that's why I get stuck with small fry all the time…
All I did next was let out a sigh and continued walking ahead. Despite me try to convince my sister otherwise, she decided to take a quick five minute break to at least try and make it to another boss in Phantom Souls. That, and she seemed interested in the flowers we passed by. So currently, I'm walking ahead of the of us. By myself. Doing nothing. Except thinking. Possibly wanting to take a break too and play with Ciel. No. I should turn back and tell Ciel to get off her butt and start moving. But considering I didn't want to be here doing all of this, and she bearing the same feelings I did, I kind of decided against it.
So instead of continuing forwards, I just stopped in my tracks, whipped out one of my handcannons and twirled it around my index finger twice. As as I did so, my handcannon quickly blazed with my white and black Aura, and quickly took the form of a sleek, white, medium-sized segmented sword. The black hilt's grip bent forward at the end, where thin black chain links dangled from its base and into the sleeve of my thin fabric jacket. Instead of a normal guard, there was a U-shape guard covering three inches of blade with a two inch prong bending upwards towards the blade slightly. The segments that met together to form the shape of the sword were colored white in between. Overall, the blade remained straight and slim, with the tip ending in a slanted razor-like edge.
You haven't seen it yet, but segments are interconnected with wires of the same material my weapon is made of overall, which if you can't remember, or haven't been paying attention, is made of Empyrean Steel and Calcified Steel, some of the toughest materials in Creation. This in turn allows me to extend the length of my weapon in sword form, making it a sort of sword-whip.
It's useful. It's deadly. It's not perfect, but it catches the majority of people off guard. Especially if they don't know the maximum range of my swings.
With a simple swing, I lobbed off a tree from its stump and watched it crash down to the forest floor, allowing me to finally take a seat down on the stump.
I wasn't going to just leave Ciel here by her lonesome, despite how annoying she could be at times. Like right now for instance. I'd rather be reading or doing something else right now rather than be here. But I have no choice. And I have to stick with Ciel now since she's my partner. And so...I'm going to wait. And I'm going to stare at the trees, flowers, and plants until Ciel decides to get moving again.
Just trying to make her get up would be a waste of time, she'd only say to give her more time or to wait. So doing anything to convince her would be a waste of time. So again, I'll just wait until she's done killing a video game boss. A really fun videogame, which is understandable. That's why I'm not as annoyed, since I like playing the videogame myself.
Well then...I guess I'll just take a peek as to what everyone is up to. I closed my eyes to focus my thoughts, and within that black space, I saw different Aura Signatures spread across in varying locations throughout the forest.
I centered in on the closest group to my location, crimson red and ice blue bursts of Aura. Ruby Rose and Weiss Schnee. They're riding a Nevermore? Well, that's certainly new. Purple and Yellow. Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long. It seems as though they've found the objective, which means we should head to their location soon.
White and Red. Jaune Arc and Pyrrha Nikos. It's amazing that Jaune Arc is still alive, even with the help of that Nikos girl. Though that might change soon given the Nevermore trying to kill them. Magenta and Pink. Lie Ren and Nora Valkyrie. They seem to be riding a...Ursa? What is with people and using Grimm as transport? Viable, yes. Stupid to many degrees? Also yes.
Lime green and Flaming Orange. Who in the world might you be lime green..? That Aura Signature… It almost matches brother's in terms of intensity and force… Interesting… His partner is no pushover either. Sorry whoever you are, but Inuba Kitsukami outmaches you when using fire. Not saying you're weak or anything, in fact, you're very very strong. Only saying our fire user is better. Seems as though they're taking their time at a leisurely pace since they're resting at the highest point of the structure that's very likely holding our objective. At this rate, they'll meet up with the other two groups. Wait… Is Lime Green staring straight at me? He can feel my Aura Signature from this far away? Impressive. He's like brother if he were any better at Sensing skills. And potentially a few other things. You definitely share first place with my brother on my "most dangerous" list.
Let's see… There you are brother. And even better, Ms. Kitsukami is with you. It seems as though everything worked out. Hmm? What's she getting all flustered about already? Did she look at his collarbone or something? I swear…
What's this? Clear wisps of Aura… Aura Resembling wind almost… I think it's safe to say her abilities are based on wind. And she resembles a kitsune? How interesting. Wait...she's already engaging an enemy? This could be trouble…
Either way, we should get going.
"Ciel! Are you finished yet?! We need to keep moving!" I shouted towards my right.
"Yup! Just killed the boss!" She shouted back before instantly appearing in front of me a second later, "So? What's the word? Foxy find big brother yet?"
"Indeed. They're making their way towards the objective right now actually. As should we."
"Right right… Should we hurry? They're kinda in the middle of a fight right now, so…"
"We'll rush to get there so we can finally wrap this up. Other than that, they can handle it themselves."
"Alrighty. Let's get a move on then."
Yeah, something I wish we would have done five minutes ago.
(Dante POV)
Did I ever mention how much I hate small projectiles? Like bullets and throwing knives, axes and the such? No? Well then, I hate projectiles. And guess what these Kitsuninja are throwing at me? Throwing knives! How are they doing that? With those razor sharp segments on their forearms. They have fifteen on each arm, and they grow back in five minutes. So far it's been three minutes, and both Kitsuninjas are down to six knives each. Thankfully Inuba is as proficient at blocking and deflecting projectiles as I am.
Alright, I'm getting sick of this.
I dodged another knife, and spun around to avoid the other. Instead of just letting it pass me by, I snatched it out of the air, spun around, and lobbed it back at the Kitsuninja that threw it in the first place. I watched the knife pierce its arm, forcing it to stagger backwards slightly, giving me the opportunity I needed. I straight tossed my sword in the creatures direction, and as it was recovering, it only barely noticed my Longsword soaring towards its neck, forcing it to raise up its armored forearms defensively. When it struck my sword, it did so by swinging its arms outwards and sending my blade a short distance above its head.
Perfect. I had it right where I wanted it to be.
I leaned forward and dashed straight for the Grimm as it waited for my approach. Judging that its left arm is currently reared back, it was going to take a swing at me with that hand. Unfortunately, my plan wasn't going to be so simple as dashing towards it empty handed. After all, my sword still spun in the air above it. As it swung at me, I instantly vanished in a streak of white and black Aura. The poor creature seemed confused. Had it managed to cut me with enough force to destroy me? Not likely. In fact, I was behind it and quickly descending from above with my sword in hand. The Kitsuninja turned its head around too late to react, and could only watch as my sword cleaved through its body diagonally, its lower half falling to the ground first.
Done and done.
I turned my head around to see how Inuba was doing. Seemingly very well since the Kitsuninja she was squaring off with looked agitated. It was just randomly swinging at Inuba. Funnily enough, Inuba had two opportunities to finish it off between those wild swinging attacks. But she knew better then to immediately chance it on a random swing, unless they're singular attacks instead of multiple at once. I watched my partner dart and weave between the Grimm's attacks swiftly and with grace, the Kitsuninja's attacks nowhere near capable of ever touching her.
Simply amazing…
Inuba quickly dashed in when she found her opening and lashed at one arm, to opened it up, lashed out at the other to completely expose its body, then quickly back flipped whilst kicking the creature under its jaw, sending the creature up into the sky. This allowed her to upturn her sword to hold it backhand style and leapt up after the creature, raising up her katana with both hands before plunging it down into the creature's chest, pinning its body to the ground. The Grimm weakly reached for Inuba, which in turn forced her to plunge her blade even further into its body until it went limp completely, and slowly began to vanish.
"Nice work." I said walking up to her.
"It was nothing special really."
"You kidding me? You look awesome when you're fighting. Graceful and majestic!" I replied, posing by leaning forwards with one of my legs brought back and up into the air, one of my hands reaching out to her.
She giggled at this before she took my hand, and spun me around in the direction we originally intended to go towards.
"And your silliness never ceases to amaze, or impress me, Master…" she said letting go before playfully pushing me forwards.
"Ugh… Can we just leave?" I asked.
"No, we can't." she replied smiling to me, still pushing me forwards on her own, "We still need to find these relics Headmaster Ozpin spoke of. Then we can leave."
"Fiiine." I replied as she continued pushing me forwards effortlessly.
See? Told you she's strong.
Huh?
I turned my head towards the left while walking on my own now. I just felt an Aura Signature spike. That and...one faded..? No, it's completely gone. I closed my eyes and focused my senses towards the direction of the spike until I eventually saw one Aura Signature. Clear wisps. Like that of wind. It was faint, almost like it was about to disappear. Sensing Grimm is different from Sensing Aura or life. Thanks to a discovery by Inuba, if you focus on detecting negativity or evil, Grimm will show up as individual masses of Negativity that look like wisps of black and red energy. It's pretty useful for detecting Grimm. Considering I was using both Aura Sensing and Negativity Sensing, I was able to sense both types currently, if they were any at all. Right now, there was only the presence of the person with the clear, wind-like Aura.
Maybe we should make a side stop… Then again, she seems alright for the time being. No Grimm within a two mile radius... Seems as though she's moving after freezing up for a bit. Maybe she was waiting to see if there was anything else around? I couldn't say for sure. Considering my Sensing skills aren't as powerful or as sharp as Leonard's or Inuba's, I'm not able to see exact movements or actions that are occurring and I can't tell who or what the person is unless I'm up close; I can only take a guess at best. It's odd though… The way that person's Aura is functioning… It's like she's trying to hide. Erase her presence entirely. Maybe it's a passive effect. Something that's always active. It doesn't look like Inuba can sense her…
Maybe whoever it is will be alright. They're moving along. And besides, we need to move along as well.
"Master? Is something wrong?"
"Uh… No… Just spacing out is all."
"You do that often nowadays."
"Well, you know me. I just like to think a lot."
"One would agree far too much at times."
"Ain't that the truth…"
"Banzai!" said a voice from above.
What the-?
Before I knew it, Ciel had fallen directly atop my shoulders and sat on them, soon dropping her chin atop my head before letting her arms dangle freely. Apparently she thought I was her ticket to a free shoulder ride.
She was right. For the most part.
"What are you doing?" I asked Ciel as I shifted my eyes upwards to look at her.
"Taking a break."
"You had one two minutes ago!" said Leonard as he walked out of the forest clearing next to Inuba and myself.
"Yeah, but we have our towering brother to move us around. And by we, I mean me."
"I'm not that tall." I replied.
"You're taller than me, so it counts."
I only rolled my eyes as we continued forwards. I didn't know, but when I looked to Inuba, she seemed a bit down given that her fox ears were folded against her head. If she wanted a shoulder ride, she could just ask.
No… She wouldn't want something like that. She's too proper. And shy.
Eventually, we reached a cliffside and looked down the edge.
Pretty steep drop…
"You sure this is the quickest way?" I asked Leonard as I removed Ciel from my shoulders and set her down.
"Positive. Comparing the previous location of the masses of Aura Signatures that moved inwards to the position I've marked, that would very likely be our objective. That, and the masses moved outwards towards the ruins further within the forest."
"There's ruins in the forest?"
"Indeed. But it doesn't seem as though they're moving to the bigger set of ruins. In fact, they've stopped to deal with a Nevermore, a Deathstalker, and large masses of smaller Grimm. It seems as though they're surrounded."
"Alright then. Let's hop down, go to where they all gathered first, then move up to go help them out. Then...we can call it a day."
"What?! No way!" shouted Ciel.
"What?" I asked, seeing that Ciel was looking at her Holographic display.
She immediately turned the screen towards me and shouted, "They're doing an all day marathon of Samurai Jack before they finish up with the premier of the first episode of season 5!"
My eyes went wide as I stared at my little sister in pure shock.
"You serious?!" I asked.
"Yes!"
"There's a season 5?" asked Leonard.
"Yes!" shouted both Ciel and I.
"Okay! Um, new plan! We go as fast as possible, get this done as quick as possible, go back, buy ten bags of popcorn, ten bottles of two liter bottles of soda, pretzels that are both salted and cinnamon with frosting, pizza, and anything else we can think of so we don't leave the room tonight! Let's go!" I said before both Ciel and I sprinted forward and leapt off the cliff.
Inuba and Leonard immediately followed behind us as we got closer to the open area of the forest floor below. Then we all saw it. A pulse of lime green Aura quickly ran through the entire forest area, moving even as far as hundreds of meters behind us.
"What the hell was that?!" asked Ciel as the four of us still remained in freefall.
"I'm unsure! All I could tell is that it was an outwards blast of powerful Aura! The very same one I felt earlier!" said Leonard.
Wait… I know this Aura..! Edgelord Ezdeil..?
Heh heh… Edgelord Ezdeil. EE. I'm a clever one.
No I'm not. That was absolutely terrible.
We all flipped forwards once and landed softly on the ground beneath us, each of us looking back behind us up towards the cliff, unable to see the pulse of lime green Aura.
"That was weird… Think it would've turned us to ash or something if we touched it? Or at least try to vaporize us?"
"Unlikely…" said Leonard.
"No time to waste." was my only reply as I walked ahead of everyone else.
"Just how important is this...Samurai Jack?" asked Inuba as she looked at us with confusion.
We all stopped and stared at her, as if she were the town's crazy person. Okay, not exactly like that, but close enough.
"Best tv show of all time." said Ciel.
"You're lucky they have a marathon going on today." I said, "Now come on! Let's go and-!"
I stopped in my tracks ahead of the group and listened carefully. Rushing water? No…
Oh. Never mind. I know what that is.
I quickly raised up my left arm and shifted my body sideways slightly as a massive wave of burning orange fire flowed like sea water from within the expanses of the forest, swallowing me up in its brilliant blaze. I turned my head back slightly to see the flames had been split apart thanks to me standing at the front, meaning that the flames harmlessly passed by my siblings and Inuba. I think Inuba was screaming my name. But I couldn't hear all too well with the massive amounts of noise the flames were making.
In short, the massive wave of flame lasted about ten seconds where I stood, whereas the rest of the wave had passed by us already like the pulse wave from before. I kept staring ahead and look around, mainly expecting to see a completely burnt down forest. I was wrong. Instead, the forest looked as though it was embered up. Nothing was burnt, there was only the festering glow of flame visible throughout the entire forest.
Incredible… Whoever just did that has some serious control over fire. Almost as good as Inuba if they managed to not burn the forest down and pasted through matter with their flames. Very nice...
Wait a minute…
Now I see… That Aura Pulse from earlier was just as Leo had said. Harmless. It was a scanning pulse to detect signs of life throughout the forest in the event there were others hanging around. If we happened to be on the ground when the pulse passed by, it would have detected us and the flames wouldn't have hurt us at all. That...and my arm wouldn't have suffered.
I brought down my left arm and stared at it. It was intensely singed and burnt all the way up to my shoulder. Damn that fire is strong. Really strong if it did that much damage and slowed my regeneration, given by the fact my skin was slowly regenerating back to normal.
Oh come on! Burnt part of my shirt too?! Damn it!
The majority of the left side of my long sleeved black t-shirt had been burnt away in a diagonal fashion, stopping just at the start of the right side of my chest and stomach.
Okay… Whoever you are...you owe me a new shirt… And Oreo cookie ice cream for my emotional distress.
Kidding about the emotional distress part. I still want the Oreo cookie ice cream though…
"Master! Are you-?!"
As soon as I turned around, Inuba stopped dead in her tracks just a foot away from me.
"All fine. For the most part. Healing up nicely." I said bringing up my left arm, which for the most part had been healed.
"I-I see…"
"What about you? You didn't get hurt, right?" I said looking her over.
"N-No, I'm f-fine! U-Uh thank you!"
Why is it that I got closer suddenly her face got redder? Maybe I'm still burning up a bit? Can't tell. Temperature isn't a thing for me. Well, not exactly that, but everything will always feel like room temperature to me.
"Dude… Talk about scorched earth but not entirely scorched earth…" Ciel said as she and everyone else looked around the "embered" forest.
"Like the remains of a fire, except without the burns and ashes… How curious…"
"Well?" I asked turning to Inuba.
"It would appear this was a highly controlled burst meant to wipe out Grimm within a given radius and only Grimm. Everything else from the wildlife, the forest itself and everyone inside was excluded from the target calculations of whoever managed to perform this. This person has very strong control of fire..."
"Enough to be a threat to you?" I asked.
"Potentially if I were to not be wary of them and their capabilities. Although...this display alone tells me much about their skill and their overall capabilities. They shouldn't be underestimated at all, even with my capabilities."
That could be trouble if she's against us at one point.
If I had to describe the forest and how it looked like now, I'd say it was a lethally beautiful sight. It was like I said earlier, a forest of embers. As far as the eye could see, the leaves of every tree, the branches of every bush, the roots running through the ground, everything so much as connected to the forest floor was glowing like burning embers at the heart of a roaring fire. And yet, ironically enough, not a single flame flickered into the air.
Chess pieces.
We braved a forest that had Grimm inside it, got myself seriously burned for a few seconds...for chess pieces.
Seriously? What the heck man…
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy and all. When we got to the structure that held the relics, there was nothing left to fight. Wanna know why? Remember how the forest was all embered up? It lasted for forty minutes. Ten minutes for us to get to the palace to grab our relics, and thirty minutes to get guess what? It burned away any Grimm unfortunate enough to be touching the ground. What about again Grimm you ask? What do you think the initial flame burst was for? Utter annihilation. Like a nuke, but without the mass destruction and devestation.
Either way, it's done and over. Now I just have to sit through the team ceremony, then I can go watch my show. We had an hour before the ceremony, so Ciel and I went into town to go buy a lot of food and drinks. We put them in one of her pocket dimensions until we got our rooms assigned to us, which was after the ceremony. So hopefully this gets done and over with soon. Samurai Jack was what was more important to me at the moment.
"Master? Are you here?"
I quickly put on my new long sleeved black t-shirt and spun around to see Inuba enter the lockeroom.
"Heya."
"Hello."
"So...I guess we made it."
"Indeed we have. Things will certainly be interesting from now on…"
"A school that trains people our age to hunt spooky, scary monsters. Definitely ten times better than regular school."
"Heh… I remembered the days in Primordial when you would come home from school mentally exhausted and the such."
"It was so boooooooorrrrrriiiiinnnnnnnggggg…"
"I'm quite thankful I didn't go to school and had you educate me at home instead."
"Yeah, lucky you." I said poking her in the side, forcing a small "eep!" out of her.
She decided to poke back. So I decided to poke back. And so the back and forth poking war continued until I got an alert on my Scroll, telling me the ceremony was about to start in five minutes.
"Alright my comfortably fluffy partner, let's save the poking for later. One final thing to take care of for the day. Then…" I said clapping my hands together. "It's time for some Samurai action." I finished as we walked out of the locker room together.
"The show really holds significant importance to you and your siblings."
"It does. That show was awesome. And we get a season five now? If anything, I'm excited! After all the time you spent living with me on Primordial, I never once showed you Samurai Jack?"
"None that I can recall."
"Wow. I can't believe it. Either way, you're in luck. Marathon, then season five. You're in for a treat."
"I'm sure I am." she replied with a smile.
"Well… Are you ready?" I asked.
"Um, yes?"
"I said, ARE YOU READY?!"
"YES!" she replied with more enthusiasm and a small hop.
"Wonderful! Now, let's see what ridiculous team name we get stuck with for however long we stay here."
Inuba giggled at my statement as she walked alongside me inside the auditorium, both of us ready for the future that now awaited us. And as we walked out to join the others that made it through with us, I couldn't help but constantly spin around the chess piece we claimed between my fingers. Whether it was excitement or nervousness I did not know. All I did know, however, was that things were only going to get more difficult from here.
They made it! Wooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
And yes, I'm a freak for Samurai Jack people. One of the best shows ever from the old days. And if you didn't get the message, hint hint, they released Season 5 this month. Not like all the episodes at once, they started releasing episodes on Saturday nights. So watch it. It's a good show. Promise.
So yeah. Those Kitsuninja. Pretty cool huh? I'm not sure if you remember him, probably won't if you haven't read the previous story, but there's this artist on deviantart that's made some really cool Grimm OC's. One of them being the Kitsuninja. I don't entirely remember his previous name, but he goes by the name LongSean22 now. And again, he's made some very interesting Grimm concepts like the Kitsuninja. So go check him out when you can.
That's pretty much it on my end.
So with that, I highly recommend you all go check out the freaking amazing collab Xera Stark and I are currently working on concerning his story XSRA's Flame. His story overall is absolutely fantastic and is a must read, so I suggest you read from the very start. But, if you're just interested in the awesome collab our two minds put together have created, then mozy on down to chapter 53 of his story for the start. I've said it once and will say it again, you won't want to miss out on this story, and especially this exciting story arc we've created. Not only that, but check out his other awesome and highly entertaining story Rogue Huntsmen as I mentioned above. It's just pure awesomeness bundled into one story. And trust me, you'll love it.
Questions? Ask them anytime. I will try to answer without spoiling.
Please remember to review, follow and favorite this story if you really enjoyed it and want to continue seeing more of it. And hey, even tell others about this story! Remember that your support is what helps make this story grow even larger and what helps improve it. With that, I bid you all an excellent week/weekend!
