When Honor is lost part 3

Borjas enters his shared office space with gifts in hand. Upon seeing Salib and Rosa working on the case and catching up on all the events, he looks longingly at his burger and hands it over.“Good job, you have potential,” He says, holding on to the Burger shack burger that he walked two blocks toContinue reading “When Honor is lost part 3”

When Honor is lost part 2

“You will pay for your insolence!” The Shaman says. Borjas moves to strike him, but Salib gets in the way. “Enough! If you hit him, you will create an incident. Go outside.” “I’m not going anywhere, and I for damn sure am not leaving him alone with you,” Borjas’s eyes are full of rage. “Ralph,Continue reading “When Honor is lost part 2”

When honor is lost part 1

Borjas doesn’t move when the arrow lands at his feet. Salib takes a step back, making Borjas a little agitated because he knew this would happen. Hence the reason he told her to wait in the car.“I don’t want to make this any harder than it has to be. Just let me go in andContinue reading “When honor is lost part 1”

The real deal after all

“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”

When Honor is Lost part 4

Salib glides her thumb across the tiny screen, causing an impressive collapse of colored blocks. She raises her other hand to take a sip of luxury in a cup and does a tiny dance from its taste and warmth. A victory song plays as she’s beat the stage, and no surprise got the high scoreContinue reading “When Honor is Lost part 4”

I don’t know what you want

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”

He Played you

“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. Whoever did the magic for their show was amazing.” “It really was,” Esmeralda bonds with the driver overContinue reading “He Played you”

Playing adventurer?

Esmeralda reads the text a couple of times as if somehow it would change its wording. Her stomach turns from fear as she calls him. There are a couple of rings until his voice comes through. “What?” He says dryly. “What’s going on?” Anxiety fills her more and more as each second passes. “It’s prettyContinue reading “Playing adventurer?”

Are you kidding me? Him?

The potion slides down Esmeralda’s throat, and its soothing magic mixed with its cooling sensation was just what she needed on this hot day. Aside from a way to forget that she just made a pact with one of her mentors to train spoiled rich kid Paladin or kill him in three months. God’s MercyContinue reading “Are you kidding me? Him?”

I expected better

The Elf runs in and shouts to get his attention, Esmeralda hates to admit it, but he doesn’t have the skills to be a tank. 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”
