Ragna crashed to the ground, helplessly rolling a few meters before coming to a painful stop against an old, dead tree trunk. Upon impact, all air left her lungs in an explosive burst. She wheezed and coughed on reflex, slowly rolling over, feeling dazed. There was a ringing in her ears; everything else sounded far away, as if she had her head underwater. She blinked teary eyes and tried to focus, but the world stubbornly refused to get back into focus. Jaws clenc...

Ragna paced. It seemed she was doing that a lot lately. The queens' faces were serious, contemplating. Rune was standing before them, having just finished their report. No one was saying anything. It was driving Ragna insane. Yuhi drew a deep breath, drawing all the attention towards her. "My love", she said, turning towards Ryu. "Our objective is clear." Ryu nodded, her long hair covering part of her pretty face. "We must remain in the city and strengthen o...

It had been a few days since they’d dragged their dusty selves back to the castle, both looking worse for wear, with Ragna being even more disheveled than Rune. It was no surprise, really: Not only had she dug up an old stump to get to their findings, but she had also carried the broken artefact back to Moonreach. Rune could grumpily admit that the vexyn had done a good job. Well, at least her muscles were worth something, if not her brain. Speaking of muscles… She groaned, slowly ...

Ever since Ragna had become a knight, she couldn’t WAIT for her first mission. Finally free of her instructor, she was allowed to roam around without having to worry about someone sitting in her neck, who was watching her every move and just DYING to find a mistake. As a full-fledged knight, her missions were her own. It was on her to make all the decisions, what risks to take and what the best course of action would be. But of course, things were never that easy. She should h...

Eden burst into the infirmary, nearly knocking over one of the nurses. Their eyes searched frantically around until they finally came to rest on Ragna. Ragna grinned.“Hey there, love.” She croaked from her resting place, voice still brittle. “Missed me?”She could see how the relief in Eden’s gaze slowly turned to anger. The white vexyn took some resolute steps towards her. Since Ragna was still lying flat on her back, injured wing stretched out to the side, s...

The other vexyn crashed to the ground, their body leaving a furrow in the dirt as it slided to a stop. The onlookers waited silently to see if they would move, but the big body did not stir. Knocked out cold. Ragna regarded her opponent smugly, breathing heavily. The fight itself had been laughable, her opponent acting like a hatchling compared to her own fighting prowess. That’s what it must feel like to wrestle a xynlet, she had thought, while effortlessly evading every punch. When...

Ragna forced herself to stand perfectly still while the vexyn, that was supposed to train them, strutted along in front of them, yelling instructions. She only barely contained herself from rolling her eyes at the nonsense he was spouting.   This was the biggest hurdle for her when becoming a knight: Controlling her emotions, following orders, just being a “good little soldier”. Ragna snorted, nearly silent among the shouting of the instructor. The xyns beside her cast an uneasy ...

Glimmer watched the other moxyn with shining eyes, little heart pounding in her chest with admiration.  “One day!” she thought. “One day I’m gonna be just like her!” Clover, the moxyn in question, didn’t know that she was being watched by a tiny fan. She chatted excitedly with her neighbour, the colourful spots in her fur sparkling in the sun. A laughter as bright as a bellchime sounded from her throat and Glimmer’s tail started wagging.  “Sh...

Millefleur took a hesitant step towards the maze. She froze almost immediately, a shiver running down her spine. Inwardly, she scolded herself, calling herself a fool. This was a festive occasion, something to get the minds of xyns off the daily routine and have them enjoy themselves. And here she was, being scared. She felt someone nudge her hindquarters and turned her head. There stood Huldra, smiling encouragingly. The forest xyns usually didn't make their way o...

„This is dumb”, Ragna said. „Might as well burn this entire place down and be done with it.” Eden smiled to themselves. “That defeats the sense of a maze” they said, patiently, and smiled. It was just like Ragna to get frustrated this easily. The temperamental redhead wasn’t made for tasks that required patience. But that was why Eden was here. They worked best as a team. Today was their day off from knight duties. Coincidentally, their free day fell ...

  Sleipnir regarded the glittering crystalcorn around him, its kernels shimmering even in the soft light of Lunerest's moons and sighed. Being a vexyn, one would assume he'd be tall enough to tower over a field of stupid plants (or so he had foolishly thought), but it turned out the maze was more than tall enough to fit even a vexyn and have it get lost in disorientation.    As a treasure hunter, a job he participated in together with Twinkle and Flicker,...

Lumine drew a deep breath and let out a long-suffering sigh. „I’m getting too old for this,” she said bitterly. Usually, she wouldn’t be caught dead admitting her age to anyone, not even herself. She used disguise magic for a reason, after all. But here, standing in Wingfell, following a compass’ dubious directions, she couldn’t help but admit that the days of her youth were long gone. Back in her knight days she would probably have done this entire quest in a single aftern...
