    Spirits' Edge

    Without uttering a word, Icetales positioned himself on Owen’s back. Not even his fear of heights was enough to sway his mind, all too busy processing everything. Just… how much did his family hide from him? What else didn’t he know? Where was Mother? What did Father do to her? He massaged his...

    Spirits' Edge

    “What I shall do with this information…” Seventh turned toward the Twilight, with long wisps of ghost fire burning from the tips of her tails. “I shall investigate the castle. Find any clue that could lead to her whereabouts. If there is something hidden inside the castle’s walls,” her voice...

    Spirits' Edge

    “Not directly, but…” Seventh huffed. “It is an entire mess, thou hast no idea. Fifth was the most vocal sibling, and she was the only one who tried to confront Father.” She shook her head, a sad expression on her muzzle. “If only we heeded her warnings about him, then perhaps she would still be...

    “…It is not like there was much I could do about that.” Seventh’s mouth twisted downward, in an invisible frown. “Father is the absolute authority in our kingdom. And if he was truly responsible for Mother’s passing…” She trailed off, seemingly hurt about that event as well, but managed to...

    Spirits' Edge

    Icetales nodded back at his friends, then focused on Seventh. “Thou heard them. No more dancing around. If thou will tell a lie, we shall know.” He narrowed his eyes and lifted slightly his muzzle, showing his regal composure. “Thou hast our undivided attention. Elaborate.” Seventh stared at...

    Tenth smirked with delight, proud of Koamaru. The lad knew how to bite back, and it was cathartic to see his sister being knocked down a few pegs. Attaboy… Though, his amusement turned to seriousness when the ghostly aura around Seventh flared up with power, lifting the mane of her head with a...

    And of course those two foreigners had to try to counter her arguments. Seventh exhaled some non-existent air and lowered her bangs. She had dealt with stubborn and boneheaded souls, she could to that again. “Facade… me? Ha! How rich!” Seventh growled. “Says the human lad who uses a Manectric...

    Spirits' Edge

    Tenth glanced at Owen, with the sinking feeling that something about Seventh had upset him. Nothing that surprised him, to be fair — Seventh was always a pawful to deal with, even among the family. However, in exchange, there was something about what Owen said that made her snap her attention...

    Spirits' Edge

    Seventh’s ears twitched, but if she was angry about Owen’s outburst or Koamaru’s sarcasm, she didn’t really show it. Slowly, she turned her face toward the Charizard, the rest of the body immobile as if made of stone. Though, by the way she angled her muzzle, it seemed like she was looking at...

    Spirits' Edge

    Icetales glanced briefly at Koamaru, before nodding at Buffet. “Indeed. This is the Twilight, the resting place of departed souls with kind hearts,” he explained, before motioning toward a few distant embers. The spirits were chasing each other, with the faint phantoms of a cream-colored...

    Spirits' Edge

    “I understood, Sir Buffet.” Icetales looked ahead, a determined expression burned on his face. “May the stars lead our path.” As they kept flying forward, the air around them seemed to change. Anyone floating in that place would feel like they are drifting through a series of bubbles, separated...

    Spirits' Edge

    An imaginary sweatdrop rolled on the back of Icetales’ head at the mention of “flight” and “ride”. Should I mention that I am acrophobic, or…? “Or” was the answer, as he found himself on Owen’s back and the group went soaring through across different realities. Icetales grit his fangs as he...

    Spirits' Edge

    While Icetales was somewhat expecting some compassion thrown at him, what he didn’t expect was for Koamaru to pull him into a hug. He felt his breath cutting and his tails quivering, surprised by that action. And then… Icetales had to use all his willpower to not begin crying. He was going to...

    Spirits' Edge

    Ah, it seemed that whatever tension there was between them was slowly evaporating, alongside the doubts that clouded their respective minds. That was good. Very good. “Hmm. Yes, I am used to handle things by myself, too, so I understand thy point of view,” said Icetales, nodding. “Even though...

    Spirits' Edge

    Icetales blinked and looked intently at Koamaru, his tails quivering ever so slightly. The Manectric was… sorry? There was something in his voice to confirm that. Was that remorse? Guilt? Shame? Before he could inquire about that, Koamaru elaborated further… While Icetales kept a neutral...

    Spirits' Edge

    If the weight inside someone’s heart could be measured with a balance, Icetales had no doubt that it would destroy even the sturdiest of devices. There were so many thoughts swirling inside his mind, focused on the two tasks he had ahead of him: trying to reach out for his mother’s spirit… and...
