Prologue Night, when the world was at rest. A small sliver of light cut through the darkness of the room, landing on an ornate box. Its lid rising, revealing small figures, jerkily moving as the music box’s melancholy tune played. It was old, but lovingly cared for. Beyond the light were vague suggestions of shapes…
The Lure of Books
This is a short little story set between The Heart of the Land and The Demon Braves, detailing how a certain person from Logendra ended up on Praxis. This story does feature some destruction on a massive scale, underscoring just how dangerous water can be even when managed.
Little Monster Miracle Handbook sidestory: Eihy’s 101
Timiddarkspy’s Little Monster Miracle Handbook and -Orphanage is a fun setting for stories. I read them and then thought about doing a guest entry. The 101, 102 and 103 were the result. About time to share them here.
The Dealmaker, a Nerana story
This is a story I wrote for the Nerana setting (created by legendary wordsmith Lucifeller) in 2016. I’ve recently revisited it and would like to present it here for your reading pleasure. In a nutshell: the Covetous Demon Lord of Nerana who lives in his Faultless Vault is requested to bring an end to the reign of terror imposed upon a country by one other of Arch Demon Faust’s victims. You might notice some references to videogame series, but its mostly a story to have fun.
The Demon Braves
While the Renaissance brought hope for a better future, the world of Praxis went through some very dark times indeed before that age began. Some six decades before the Renaissance a group of women was brought together for an experiment by the Demon Kingdom to learn more about the transformation from human to mamonme, but afterwards were instrumental in stopping a malicious plan decades in the making, earning them the title of Demon Braves. Yet their history was nearly lost until efforts were made in the Renaissance to uncover it.
Promises made, Promises kept
During the Time of Upheavals, Praxis was a wilder place. This is but one story of that time in which a goofball and a Coppelia set out on a journey that will change their lives. Seeking to deliver a legacy, but finding adventure and love.
Childhood Memories: Fragments of another time
Childhood Memories: Fragments of another time is a bit of a difficult story. I won’t pretend its my best, but… I started on it in 2015 shortly after The Beckoning Sky (also on TFT), wanting to expand on Mi-Fi and Natty. And on their time. Iris and her family came along naturally, as did Uzumi and Lael. Also the most popular band of all time. But then writer’s block hit and a pretty bad time in my life did as well. Consequently, a part of the original intent with the story was lost or altered. I finished it last year, but its kind of odd.
In this story (sorry for using just the one post) we follow up on Aosagi Mi-Fi and Natty from The Beckoning Sky as they return to their childhood home, meet new friends and have an adventure that takes them across Praxis and time. I really do hope that you’ll enjoy reading it. Please leave a comment if you do. Or a critique if you don’t.
The Beckoning Sky
A story from 2015 set 1200 years after the Renaissance started on Praxis. Mi-Fi Aosagi (Aosagi Mi-Fi) has been working towards a long-held goal of being the first Tsuki no Usako to get pictures of the orbital ruins that had once held the ancestors of her species on the moon. Little does she suspect that she’s not the only non-avian in the sky, or that she may go in abject fear where no Usako in living memory has gone.
NB: The follow-up story Childhood Memories: fragments of another time will hit TFT soon as well. Prepare to rock out when it does.
