The scorching sun loomed overhead, bathing the grassy woodlands in a heated glow that was both beautiful and stifling. Zerisint and his allies were undaunted, though, as they fought to contain the multitude of flying beasts driven to frenzy by whatever fiery creature had awoken. Zerisint’s black form darted about the skies, wrangling angry birds or contending with ornery harpies, while Endymion and Kumiho readied cages on the ground below. The cages were makeshift but sturdy, made of...

"A new life begins on the turn of time's wheel, as dawn's brilliant rise brings the church bell's peal..." The soft, baritone voice rang pleasantly through the foliage that shaded a quiet woodland pond, leaves the only green upon the water, winter's thaw still too fresh for algae. Sunlight shone down through the canopy, bringing out the soft pastel pinks and lavenders of the hydrangea bushes that took shelter amidst the boughs. Though the gentle light granted warmth to all tho...

Since the birth of their kind the oldest of the kijikaiaku watched served their mother. Those like Frostbite who served on the front lines, tearing through her forsaken children in her name. Those like Sol who guided their kind, teaching those who came after how to serve their mother and carry out her will. Those like Tirloch who gathered the remnants of energy from the battle fields, bringing the souls home to the core to heal their dying mother. Kokoro was the eldest of all, the first child...

The sun had been up for only a few hours, it was roughly noon at this point. Bird could be heard chirping and seen fluttering around with each other, squirrels could be seen skittering about, collecting nuts and whatever else squirrels do. Even things such as skunks and rabbits were wandering about, foraging the land for their days meals. "Mangosteen, if we want to get to the beach when the sun is going to be facing the sand perfectly we need to get going." Methyl says excited, he wanted to s...

Life is resilient. Though individual creatures may die, life as a whole continues to move on, ever forward, evolving and adapting to challenges once perceived impossible. It rarely develops in ways wholly expected, for mere chance holds such sway that no matter the presence of guiding influence or pressures from conflict, everything carries within it the very touch of chaos from which life had been born. ...

The warm sun on a cold winter day was always a welcome reprieve, for Ravyne far preferred the warmth to the cold, even as his growing connection to Gaia saw him attune to even the snow. The sky was near entirely clear, but a few patchy clouds in the far horizon, and the crisp air held almost still - though it remained fresh, not stale. Alongside the dark purple former War Alpha flew the lighter purple, brilliantly shi...

Snowflakes slowly drifted down from high above as a lone Kijikaiaku made their way across the fields. There have been many reports of confused spirits attacking Rudolph and Santa of all things, and Gaia was getting concerned it was going to interfere with Christmas as a whole. Due to her growing concern, she had sent out a few of her Kijikaiaku to find and help the jolly duo, or fend off the attacking spirits. Vartarin is one such Kijikaiaku, thus why he was del...

Many curious things happened on Earth, kijikaiaku themselves being among them. Long, elegant nature spirits of many colors and shapes and sizes, their Gaia-given purpose was to protect this world and everything in it. Even if it meant applying violence and underhanded tactics at times. Vairsing, a red kiji with golden mane, teeth, and rainbow accents, was not one for underhanded tactics. He was too straightforward for that. So it was, when talk of a strange man in red and his horde of ...
