Sora straightened as Inari continued.  “When you think of myths, the stories that are told throughout your history, what are they representing?” Ashley cupped her chin.  “Hmm, in connection to your previous statement, I assume it has to do with ethics.  So, my guess would depend on the tale, but they are all meant to represent something.” “Right,” Mary muttered. …

Sora’s vision cleared as the ceiling came back into view; Wendy stirred beside her, rubbing her eyes.  “I’m a little scared about what we’ll be doing.” Lifting herself, Sora nodded.  “Me too, I don’t want to mess up.  I don’t know what opening your Core levels will do or what that involves.  My aunt described it like the demigods and …

Sora’s vision focused on a gray-furred Vulpes as she nodded rigidly.  Olivia’s voice was soft spoken.  “If—that’s what you’ve decided.”  Her white dress was fitted but showed a few rips that had repair work done and there were three blue stripes on her sleeves. Mimi’s yellow irises locked on Sora.  “I will have Olivia guide you back tomorrow at the …

Sora took a deep breath as they entered the town.  There were quite a few humans and Vulpes hauling carts of fruit, grain, and vegetables down the streets and empty carts moving the opposite direction.  Sora recognized wheat, onions, carrots, tomatoes, and pears, but there were quite a few she didn’t have the vaguest idea about. There were a lot …

Sora passed several rooms as she caught up to the group; everyone had met at the entrance.  Large stone pillars were erect on either side of the massive doors leading outside. When she left the warm sensation of the mountain to be embraced by the energizing sky, Sora couldn’t help but smile. The surroundings were green and lush; it added …

Sora moved to the red light, everyone but Kari following.  The light took up the majority of the wall and looked almost solid.  Taking a deep breath she examined the light, looking deeper than what she currently saw; to her surprise, she found symbols.  They were similar to what she saw at her aunt’s shrine. Extending her desires, she watched …

Sora ran beside Fen with their small group in-tow; the bright sunlight that beamed through the trees was so surreal—greenery in general—after being trapped in that suffocating underground base, and the smells that met her sensitive nose were welcomed. “How do we find the entrance to the Vulpes Dimension?” A low growl came from the black-haired fox while scanning their …

Diane swore harshly as she briskly walked through the halls.  I cannot believe I was so blind…  Everything was a lie!  To think I aided in the raising of a Devil to this plane, and a Duke at that!  How will this change the world’s power structure? The Senator has been confined to his quarters, locked behind some form of …

Eric’s statement left Sora in a temporary haze, trying to connect the words to the man as the implications spiraled in her mind and Aiden hesitated, just as speechless as her. Eric set him free… completely, as in… his story about Aiden being a slave… it’s over? Linked with Aiden as they attempted to keep Wendy and the others alive, …

Sora breathed in deeply, the madness of the situation washing through her; she could feel Mary had something to say and was building up her courage.  “Haaa…  Mary, Eyia, Jin… what should I do?  If I can save everyone for something like that… shouldn’t I?” Her former psychiatrist cleared her voice while easing out from behind Jian, stumbling a little …
