Tusks and Daggers Part Forty-Three: A Bittersweet Twist of Fate

Yvette Francaise

Sleep evaded me like I was public enemy number one, Mishal reaching for me. Picking him up, I bounced him on my laugh. Kissing the top of his head, his eyes gazed up  at me. A smile spread cheek to cheek, his tiny fingers wrapping around my thumb. Boran sat up next to me, his blanket falling to reveal his muscular chest. Running his hand through his hair, a soft groan escaped his lips.  “You need to sleep at some point. Someone could see your bags from a mile away.” He voiced with rich concern. “I can watch him if you want to tak...

Lottie:Washing my hands in the pond, birds chirped cheerfully around me. Depression hung over me like a cloud, my emotional limit having been met. A letter had shown up from Mina detailing the death of one of my friends Swallowia, a sickness having claimed her life. Tears shattered the surface, her bright smile flashing in my mind. A black portal swirled in front of me, the twins popping up next to me. Clearly, the portal was calling them to come with me. The four of them scratched their heads, concern flashing in their eyes. Wiping my tears...

Tusks and Dagger Part Forty-One: A Bittersweet Visit

Dackworth: “Explain to me why you are bringing kids, a cat, and a dragon with us to find an herb.” I groaned , noticing Boran’s white wool shirt hugging her torso. “Why did you borrow his clothes?” Untying me from her back, she dangled me in front of her face. My heart fluttered at her annoyed tone, a snarl twitching on her lips.   “Helios keeps attempting to burn our camp down and I am the only one with water powers. Darwin has the God of Death in him and happens to know every herb in this realm. Tommy never leaves my ...

Tusks and Daggers Part Forty: The Worst Type of Date

Yvette Francaise

Something felt off, my eyes scanning the sea of evergreen trees. Nothing had happened for a week, the sound of squeaks stealing me from my trance. Gazing up at the branch above me, Rosey and Sir Acorn were having a pleasant conversation. Lowering the top of my glove to examine the scales on my arm, a sense of pride swelled in me. Boran plopped down next to me, his palm rubbing the exposed scales. Shame dimmed my eyes, his crooked grin reassuring me.  “I had a boar’s head until I was sixteen.” He pointed out tenderly, nudging my should...

Tusks and Daggers Part Thirty-Nine: A Flurry of Reunions and an Interesting Favor

Yvette Francaise

A cry for help echoed in my ears, the pale orange rays of the sunrise flickered in between the trees. Struggling to my feet, my eyes scanned the pathway. Squinting my eyes, an ivory squirrel with ruby eyes was running from a wolf. Scooping up Dackworth, the wolf never stood a chance. Swinging it down towards the wolf, inky sludge painted my face. The wolf decayed to dust, a yawn escaping my lips. Her dusty rose robes were torn, the snow white belt tickling the ground. Her lips parted in protest as I took them into my palm, a sewing needle an...

Standing over the inky water, Helios played behind me with Tommy. Dark energy swirled off the smooth surface, Dackworth panicked audibly behind me. Dread bubbled in my gut, a shadowy hand reaching for my leg. Sir. Acorn called out for me, the hand ripping me into the chilly water. My hair floated behind me, the water rushing around me. Bubbles floated to the surface, the arm tossing me into a sea of cherry blossoms.  “Fantastic, we are in a memory pond.” Dackworth grumbled under his breath, his one eye rolling.  “The only way out...

Avianna stood behind me, her robes fluttering in the wind of the black portal. Twisting her gorgeous hair into a side bun. Tying Dackworth to my back, her elbow hooked around mine. Tommy leapt onto my shoulder, Sir Acorn taking the day off because of a cold. Luna bounced up to my side, Darwin choosing to stay behind to watch Mishal with his father.  “I guess it is a girl’s day today.” I joked with a bright smile, Luna hooking her elbow around my other arm. “If I tell you to run to safety, you need to go." Nodding simply, confusion daw...

Yvette Francaise

A flash of ruby caught my eye, my breath hitching at a white fox with ruby markings on its fur. A paw motioned for me to come, a strange energy telling me to go. Mishal was strapped to my chest, my scythe hanging off of my back. Boran stepped up behind me, curiosity glinting in his eyes. Soma popped up behind us, a wide grin spreading cheek to cheek. If they were with me, this couldn't be so bad. “We should follow that kitsune.” He suggested eagerly, playing with Mishal’s finger. “Are you coming, Tommy?” A flash of fur tinted my eyes, T...

The fluffy hair tickled my skin, a tainted joy complicated my emotions.  “Isn’t Mishal the most adorable thing?” Boran sighed tenderly, poking his belly. “You are such a handsome boy. How have you held up? I know it has been a rough couple of weeks but I do hope you are doing better.” Messing with his wool blouse, tears welled up in my eyes. That was an...

Tusks and Dagger Part Thirty-Three: The Birth of a New Era

Mina skidded over to me, her tail wagging in the dirt. Her tongue hung out of her mouth, Darwin not that far behind her. Panting like an excited dog, the ground quaked with each excited bounce. Waving my arms, she slowed down. Skidding to a stop, my hand patted her snout. Snuggling into my hand,  a bit of flames burned the hem of my usual wool dress. Patting it out, Darwin skipped up to me. Leaning forward, he slid an invitation into my hand. Opening the scarlet envelope, an official dragon treasure hunt had been announced. Reading it o...

Lottie: Somata stepped forward out of the early morning fog, a colorfully haired woman walking nervously next to him. Scooping up my bag, Darwin and Luna weren't far behind me.  Boran waved for me to slow down, a portal leading to the next black heart swirling behind me. My lips pressed into a thin line, the beautiful woman brandished a gorgeous rainbow blade. Her kimono fluttered in the breeze, a warm smile brightening my face.
