Part Two Chapter Eleven Introducing Killpoint “Vol?” Volaphomet took in the sky. A big, open hole let it in through the guild’s square. Here, it got a perfect frame between the cliffs, a perfect rocky line surrounding her. Some mailbirds passed above, squabbling and loud. They cut through low...

it's march 8th, which means it's time to respond to some reviews. Figured I'd tackle the easy fic first.

Chapter Ten The Mountain Larcen had something to prove. He spent a couple days happening, as he did. Mostly he watched—Solder somewhere in his peripheral, sweltering beside a trail of Larcen’s own muddy pawprints. He focused on those. Something had to happen here. They had to stop thinking...

Chapter Nine Rainstorm Routine was good in Larcen’s book. Kinda boring, but hey, not everything had to be a battle—though that would make life more exciting. The mornings where he could follow a script and not think about it at all were, unfortunately, the best ones. The ones he functioned...

Chapter eight A Cat “We’re going to the entrance plains.” It was the first thing Landy said as Team Weasels met him at the guild. It can’t have taken them more than a half hour, but he still scowled and shook his head as if they were late. Before either of them could respond, he sauntered off...

Chapter seven Teams Some days passed after Solder’s breakdown. Luckily, few cared. Or, if they did, didn’t think to mention it. He and Larcen hung around the guild, mostly. To recover and relax. Solder still struggled with his thoughts on Klefki, but in some sense they also released him. He...

Chapter Six Lock and Klefki Seafolk’s alley’s were almost a relief compared to the docks. Cramped, piled with nets and traps and other old fishing equipment, lurking under the shade of the buildings and towering platforms jutting from the roofs, really, they weren’t that inviting. But the bay...

Chapter five Outside The guild lobby lay empty as Solder and Larcen woke up and went through Larcen’s morning routine. Food? Check. Bags? Check. Grooming? Well, Solder had had enough of that yesterday. He could stand to look a little scruffy. Sure, Larcen tried to tease, but the buizel couldn’t...

Chapter four Fall Apart, Together While it would be fun to ignore all the warning signs, Solder felt awkward sitting on a pin as obvious as Larcen’s theft. They hadn’t known each other long, but it seemed like they’d be sticking together and Solder wasn’t excited to get pinned as an accomplice...

Chapter Three Morning By the time Solder and Larcen got back to the guild it was late, the dusky grey sky melting into a pure black. Larcen had shuffled back onto his couch. He’d conked out the second he sank into the cushions, kicking up a cloud of dust that Solder watched settle back onto the...

Chapter Two Our House Solder didn’t know what to expect when he entered the innards of the guild; he could only imagine as he squinted through the transition from the darkness of the hallway into the brightly lit main room. Luckily, he didn’t have to imagine for very long. The room was large...

Between the Mountains and the Sea Seafolk’s guild was not spoken of alongside the greats—even its own members could attest to that. But between a town that hates them and the threat of larger guilds coming to subsume them, they'd better think of some way to pull themselves together or else be...
