“Now, Cesar!” Esmeralda yells. Yabe-Senpai’s back is open and would stay that way if Esmeralda had anything to do with it. Charged with divine energy, Cesar rushes the open area while Esmeralda does her best to lock Yabe-Senpai down. Her strike placed Yabe-Senpai’s sword across her back. A clean hit. Esmeralda couldn’t believe it. ThisContinue reading “The real deal after all”

Esmeralda does a parry, then another parry, followed by a side step with an attack to the stomach and finishing with a whack to the head with her wooden practice sword. Cesar falls face forward from the strike. A quick dash puts her right underneath Elisa, and before the hunter could nock another arrow, EsmeraldaContinue reading “I don’t know what you want”

“I love your shirt.” The cab driver says, striking up a conversation.  “Yeah, the band is awesome.”  “I got to see them live once. Best concert ever.” “Was this the one they did in Reve?” “Sure was.

No matter how much he screams or insults the Cyclops, it only has eyes for Esmeralda. She already has someone who was the apple of her eye, and that wasContinue reading “I expected better”
