Chapter 18: The Devil in the Details Yuna couldn't take her eyes off Bahamut's picture. It didn't make sense. Either there were other light dragons roaming around the cosmos with much more malicious attitudes or… or… No. That had to be it. Bahamut was the Luminous Creator! He preached...

Bahamut wrapped his tail around Xernatus' snout. "Be silent. Predators can smell the fear of their prey. If you let your mind waver, you will be that much more vulnerable." He hoisted Xernatus to eye level. "Make two phantoms: Mew and that charizard, Nutmeg. If we're lucky, she'll think they're...

Sell Hyperactive and replace it with Deep Focus for this battle. Turn 1: -Call Xernatus: order him to summon a Nutmeg phantom, a Mew phantom and seal the MC/BC barrier after the phantoms move. -Eat a cautious seed -Enter Firm Stance [-0 stamina, +3 def/res, 25% damage reduction, -1 action...

Oh, right, I forgot... please swap in Void Phantasm for Shining Blades.

"If we're still toward the front of the tree and Maple somehow incapacitated the others, it's not unreasonable to think they're close to where you located them last time." It was more strategic to use telepathy at this point. Every word Bahamut spoke in Maple's presence could prove a problem if...

“Keeping the person responsible for the team’s survival alive trumps searching for the missing toothpaste deerling,” Bahamut deadpanned.

Bahamut had to resist the urge to facepalm. "If you're going to run off to explore the tree, understand you're doing so on your own. If one of the three daemons spots you, you'll be turned to mush like Vix was."

Bahamut would've rolled his eyes if he could. "Didn't your mother ever teach you it's rude not to finish your sentences? An eternatus brought me eleven centuries of painful undead torment. This one is like a basket of growlithe puppies in comparison."

Bahamut frowned. "Do you mean we'll have to chase them around like hatchlings playing hide and seek?"

In the end, it appeared that it was just going to be Bahamut. Because of course it would. The one the whole team (sans a few shades) hated defending the one this planet had a good reason to hate. If Bahamut were actually ticklish, the irony might have gotten him. Except then Owen decided to...

He is long past the point of reason. It sounds like the power he tried so desperately to obtain has broken him. This is what I meant when I said those pursuing absolute power must dedicate themselves solely to such an idea. ... perhaps there's a way to shoot the team to the moon at such high...

Bahamut watched her go silently. He looked down at all his supplies. This was him. This was the life he had made for himself... before everything was upended. He used to feel good doing things like this. But now... there was nothing. Just emptiness. “Those who seek absolute power must be...

"Good." Bahamut wrapped a couple of dry towels up with his tail and passed them over to Brisa. "Here. Having you go out in the chilly air while damp will undo this."

Bahamut gave no indication as to how much time was passing. Because Brisa was doing well. He could tell; he wasn't going to say anything about that, though. His instructions didn't change... up until he noticed the steam dying down. The necrozma levitated all the stones back to him. "How are...

One final step. Bahamut had put smaller stones into towels he'd rolled into sleeves. He placed on of each sleeve on either side of Brisa's torso. "Good. Keep focusing on your breathing."

One by one, Bahamut applied stones to each leg. "Envision your legs getting lighter. Looser. The stiffness is leaving. The tension unwinding." His voice had a surprising softness to it.

Oops I'm very behind on things. Ha ha... ha... Challenges: three sets of writing based on time. BLECs: beta read HoC SE 8 (x2 and bonus), two parts of Of Sands & Shadows (gets bonus), one part of Fledglings (gets bonus), and posted 4 chapters that I never logged before (5k, 4.5k, 4.5k, 4k). :V...

"Do not let your mind wander too far." Bahamut was studying the little twitches in her body and face. "Acknowledge the tension. Watch it melt away. If you find thoughts creeping into your head, go back to focusing on your breathing. In. Out. Count how many seconds you breath in and out if that...

"Focus on your back." Bahamut moved the stone over and levitated up a second. "Feel that tightness. The stiffness. Acknowledge its presence." He lowered the stones toward her back. "Let it melt away."

"It sounds counterintuitive, but you have to open yourself up to the heat," Bahamut said. He was already levitating another stone. "It is intense. It can be surprising. But stress can be like that, too. Suddenly heightening your body's awareness. Sometimes it takes another shock of sorts to let...
