Chapter 2017: Reminisce

While Vahn was attempting to make sense of his situation, the control room within his mind was in a state of disarray. Catgirls of various shapes and sizes were running around in a panic, and, though she was doing her best to maintain control, even Sis was feeling more than a little anxious. Somehow, against all rhyme and reason, Vahn …

Chapter 2016: Inception

As much as he enjoyed seeing Jaina defeating Yuri in every single game they played together, Vahn decided it would be prudent of him to focus a little more on his training. The limitations he had set regarding the Little Garden gave him considerably less time to focus on things like honing his skills, so, for the first time in …

Chapter 2015: Learning From History

Though the order was a bit reversed, Vahn concluded Jaina’s induction into his Family by explaining, in detail, the various perks related to being one of his ‘children’. After that, they surprised her Guide, Alumik Edrok, by explaining to him that he no longer had a charge to look over. While it would have been a crippling blow to some …

Chapter 2014: Value and Misunderstandings

Once Jaina was able to stay conscious for more than a few seconds, Vahn finally got around to the reason for his visit, surprising the pinkette with a blanket, comforter, and pillow as he explained, “I know about your attempts to procure the pillows I gifted away in the lower floors. I would normally chastise you for such behavior, but, …

Chapter 2013: Extravagance : Lamentation

With countless people coming to her with requests for information, Jaina eventually got so fed up with disturbances that she ended up retreating to number seven of her twenty-three secret bases. In reality, this was just the basement of her castle, but, with her Guide turning most people away, it was one of the few places she could truly relax …

Chapter 2012: Adhering to the Order of Things

Though he should have been focusing more on his investigation of the 129th Floor, Vahn quickly lost interest after confirming that not even the most senior members of the Po Bidau Family knew what had taken place. Since Gluttony was bound by a contract that prevented him from disclosing any information pertaining to Gustang’s research, this left Vahn without any …

Chapter 2011: Ascertaining the Truth

With the rapid changes occurring within the Tower, the investigation into the Po Bidau Family was making very slow progress. All anyone knew for certain was that Gustang had been the one to set off the explosion, but, no matter how much they looked into it, they were unable to understand his motives. This led to some speculating that Vahn …

Chapter 2010: Feelings of Obligation

With none of the Elders stepping out to contest his victory, Vahn’s time in the spotlight had come to an end. He still needed to remove the Great Mother’s curse, but, with the assent of Gluttony, this wasn’t particularly difficult. Other than that, his only business with the Lo Po Bia Family was taking in the remnants of the Grey …

Chapter 2009: Power Overwhelming

Though it took a while to sort out all the details, it wasn’t long after his conversation with Lo Po Bia that Vahn found himself standing opposite from what could best be described as an exotic beauty comprised entirely of aged bark and faded leaves. Her presence caused everyone in the Lo Po Bia Family to lower their heads in …

Chapter 2008: A Person’s Actions Should Reflect Their Ideals

After explaining the situation, Vahn released Tperie so he could deal with the fallout of events on the 129th Floor. The Tu Perie Family served as one of the central pillars of the Empire when it came to administration, so, while Tperie held no official title, he was the first person people went to when something unexpected or disastrous transpired. …
