To say Christina was surprised by the labyrinth’s sudden merger with the heavens above would be a gross understatement.

She had been dueling with the strange half-woman-half-centipede and her...

“Shiiiiiit,” something hissed behind her, and Christina froze.

Suddenly, unhelpfully, the labyrinth fell once again silent. Her ears strained in search of any sound, but there was nothing beyond...

“What do you know of that woman, Athenry?”

Athenry Sergio turned and fixed his small brown eyes on his companion; they narrowed suspiciously. He did not like Sivien Arundiel. Corone’s former High...

Some time later, Christina found herself back in her private chamber, tossing the sealed satchel up and down before her, eyes fixed blankly on the opposite wall. She didn’t know what to make of her...

The shock and horror that flooded Christina’s mind at that moment were incomprehensible. They should not have been; she knew what her Rumbling Rose would do to her opponents, even ones as frail as...

Pulled from her unwanted reverie, Christina became aware that Rosebite was sailing through thin air. Her opponent had apparently taken flight, which in her haste she had neglected to even consider as...

Christina sighed, deep and mournful. Stupid child.

She regretted deeply that it had come to this. Even under the monks’ supervision, the Serenti Invitational was no place for a child. Wounds both...

Gutting up an opponent was no problem, but this was not the opponent Christina had been expecting.

She’s… just a girl!

There had to have been some mistake. Surely this little youngling had...

The semi-finals had come at last. Christina’s goal was directly before her now, and she felt somehow sure that nothing remained now to stand in her way. She had come much too far for that.

The...

To Christina, it smelled like toil. The overcoming of an obstacle. And beneath it all, a sweet, coppery scent anchored her through all the rest, cutting through the grit and grime. Refreshing,...

Christina’s journey was halfway to completion now. With each obstacle cleared, her goal became clearer and clearer, and she could see it ahead of her more clearly now than ever. It seemed, somehow,...

“Do you mean Letho Ravenheart?”

Christina had known there was something strange about this girl the moment she walked into the Loose Brassier. Her presence alone was an anomaly. This was one...

Okay, it's up at long last. Things will be better from here on out, and we're getting towards the end of it now. It's just been a bit crazy with all the people shuffling around and leaving. The...

As the sword-wielding assailant brought his blade down for another round, his cry was drowned out by the slicing sound of steel against steel. Fragments of Christina’s whip-sword, joined by quiet...

Adrenaline coursed through Christina’s veins as she ran after her prey. She understood now how that tiger must have felt, caught up in the thrill of the chase, until nothing else in the worldly...

Christina could only smile. Could this man so truly lack ambition as to think of the Serenti as a mere game?

“The stakes are much too high for me to call it that,” she replied. “Besides, in...

She had hit something. That much was obvious. The man’s cry of shock and the subsequent splash of water made that obvious. But by the time the storm of leaves had settled, there was only a crumbling...

Christina had visited these very gardens many times in her childhood. Growing up near Radasanth as she had, the Radasanth Zoological Gardens served as the locale for some of her favourite adventures,...

Okay, so I haven't heard from him by any means (which I kind of expected would be the case). In that case, we're just going to push on ahead with this. I'll get up the next post as soon as I can.

From her seat in the anteroom beneath the stands of the Invitational Arena, “Rosalyn” listened to the murmur of the crowd drifting down from above through the dark tunnels all around her. None of it...

All bunnying from here on out is, of course, approved.The Lady of Roses could only smile. Pomp and circumstance? Yes, “Rosalyn” certainly was full of that. And she supposed even the woman beneath the...

For the people of Corone, the Serenti Invitational felt long overdue.

It had been many years since the grand tournament had last been held, drawing its competitors from around the continent and...

Just looking to get a bit of a status update on this. Still with us, Numbers? :)

OPEN CHALLENGE. All right, folks, I'll show ya how it's done! Let's get some use out of these threads!“Your tea is ready, Deputy.”

Christina looked over her shoulder at the young serving girl....

“Any troops heading this way?” Christina asked, slamming Rosebite back into its scabbard with more venom that the sword deserved. “And I suppose you were just hiding by that riverbank for a few days...
