Rust-Colored Skies
Chapter One (1000)
The crisp sound of thunder jolts him awake, and his eyes fix upon the steel ceiling above him. His cell, his room, his cage. Notus Virens throws off the covers of his cramped confines, and half-rolls off his bed. The roiling of the ship underfoot has become...

136/151 - Tsunami Warning [1507]
There's a lot to cover here, so I'm gonna start with a bit of a glance-over with your formatting and basic narrative structure.
Try to go back over anything you've posted to make sure that the formatting is...
Events in the pass accelerated, the expectant maw of the River Tiger leaving a wet trail of saliva beneath the horrid creature as it dragged itself towards the narrow pass. Dogs yipped and snarled more ferociously, blood-frenzy upon them as their prey fell back. The winter chill seemed far away...
The ear-splitting cry of Ignis' ancestry was tumult for the hounds, and they fell away baying and whimpering. The River Tiger reared back, but even its might seemed momentarily cowed by the primal shriek. The moment was all the advantage the group needed, and a flurry of attacks sprung forth to...
Gunfire and howling chaos followed them as the party retreated. Every hound felled was swiftly replaced by fresh meat, blood-tinted maws betraying the fates of those the swelling tide had washed over. Cannibalism was no stranger to demons and devils, let the mortal flesh know what awaited them...
The cannon-shot explosion of the Carnifex's rapport produced twitches and a slight retreat from some of the hounds, even as it bowled one of the dogs end over end, where it lay still and unmoving. The other two shots, light taps on the eardrums by comparison, struck its fellow, and the beast...

192/192 - Furari Laute [3850]
This collab was absolutely delightful to read, if a bit one-sided throughout. Kincaid and Naev get along like a house on fire, at a glance, but the constant assessing they do of each other is a great touch to keep in line with both Kincaid's recurrent...
The crack-bang of gunfire echoed across the rocky pass, booming and sounding out over the long horizon of the Sea of Aquilonia. Amidst the wide burst of automatic fire that Cora and Ignis belched forth, two cannon-shot booms placed a pair of bullets into the two hounds charging down Dominic...
Krista started at Dominic's orders, before seeming to come back to herself. The tremble in her hands did not go unnoticed, but the enlil reacted with the professionalism her craft demanded.
Drawing back and bringing her hands to her chest, the healer began a low incantation under her breath...
A long draft blustered against the steep crags that flanked the group and swept up through the tall trees that packed along the mountainside, as they advanced. The narrow pass was treacherous, but confidently navigated by the fleet-footed Corvus and his companion; with the athletic Dante hot on...

51/51 - Vigils at Dawn [510]
Kind of disappointed that you up and stopped posting after two turns. It feels like you're still struggling with reconciling a core identity for Kincaid with writing something you're comfortable and interested in. I can't say much to that other than: get...

Navale[ 1400 ]
The dawn came mercifully, to the people of Navale. The sun, Caesar, rose high and bright, no longer marred by tainted crimson – though that malevolent phenomenon had lingered, in the ensuing nights of their first ordeal – and was well on its lazy trail to noon. Crisp morning dew...
Morning's Liturgy
The winding mountain path that separated Navale from the junctions which connected to the rest of the Kingdom of Excelsus in Secare were hard-traveled. Four figures trod heavily upon the cold ground, scarce hours after they'd arrived in the township. Much time had been spent...
"Well, far be it from me to tell you how to feel." Ego remarked rather sullenly to Seneca, seeming thoroughly put-out at the sudden resolve of the motley assortment, before he perked up at Ignis' words. Grin widening, he spun on his heel but seemed content to speak at the pair from across the...
A few cries of alarm went up as the woman charged, shoving past a couple of her fellows as she brought the swords around. Ego, for his part, seemed neither surprised nor shocked, and made no move to defend himself. The twin strikes cleaved cleanly through the demon, seeming to leave a curious...

143/148 - Let's Make a Sword [2955]
Ah, and so again we see the attempt by Kincaid to use others to his own ends. It still comes across very forced, like you're trying very desperately to convince readers that Kincaid is all he's cracked up to be. I feel like you need to stop...
