Peak Training
Among the more physically-oriented students of the Magistrum, like the ones in its martial arts program, it's become a common practice to head into the nearby mountain ranges to train once they've been certified to go out into the wilderness without an escort. With the...
A New Trailblazer
By the time this piece, illustrated with one of LittleBadWolf's YCHs back in July of 2023, was started, I had already decided that I would turn the friendship I had been developing with Edmund and Mortimer into a relationship. And in that context, I had...
Night of Revelation – Part 2(/3)
Once again, LittleBadWolf stepped up to do an illustration for this part of "Night of Revelation", this time back in April of 2023. Writing fight scenes isn't my area of expertise, but I remember reading some advice that I tried to keep in mind during the...
Just the Way You Are
Even though the actual story for this piece, by Marsel-Defender back in April of 2023, was penned the day before I originally uploaded it, I had been playing around with the concepts of it in my head for some time prior. I question often if I've...
Night of Revelation – Part 1(/3)
I'll always be grateful to LittleBadWolf for always being available for hire. That's a large reason why kept relying on them to illustrate the scenes that I've written for my world and characters. (The other is that their art style works well with my characters.) Night...
Oplentian Infiltration
Back in November of 2022, I took a week off of work for a Thanksgiving vacation. While I had been writing short stories on and off over the course of the year, I was still dissatisfied with my progress, specifically with the "main story" involving...
Looks Like Kitty Got Wet
This piece was yet another YCH that I purchased off Marsel-Defender back in December of 2022. I'm fond of writing slice-of-life pieces for these fantastical, magical characters, because I want them to feel like real people. Although he is a splendid mage, Edmund is also...
Edmund, Eye of the Storm
This card was illustrated by Rerepop back in October of 2022. I saw a YCH from them and thought it would be the perfect art for an Edmund card. Unfortunately, I think it is my least favorite among all of the card designs I've ever shared...
Shock and Claw
This piece from Wolfgangcake back in October of 2022 is a crossover between my Edmund and a Ferris, a werewolf character owned by a friend of mine, ig88_0x. We collaborated to write twin stories telling the tale from our respective characters' perspectives. My half of...
Pumped Up at the Bonfire Festival
At the dawn of Crossroad's recorded history, once the Great Planeswalker Wars had been brought to an end, it is said that the remaining footsoldiers, humans and beastkin bereft of hearth and home, gathered together around a massive bonfire to celebrate the end of their...
