Enigma’s Rebirth
One single night. The moment Enigma stepped out of that cage, tearing down the bars with his titan-enhanced arms, it only took one single night for him to usurp Volpes and become the new leader of the Titan Syndicate. Finally free to wield the powers that...
Cross-Generational Training
Interestingly enough, when I purchased this YCH from Marsel-Defender in December 2024, I didn't actually ask her to use Volpes in the shot. I had only provided the references for Edmund to use for this piece. However, when I saw Volpes filling in for Edmund's...
The Season of Giving
Back when he was still working as a guard captain in Oplentis, one of Azurium's favorite times of the year was the Winter Solstice. Every year for the decade he worked as Volpes's second-in-command, he would dress up in the same red costume. Using the...
Just a Little Sip
It had been some time since Enigma has last visited the tavern. Though the oven-roasted cockatrice with creamy mushroom gravy was a delightful dish among many of their menu, he had figured out how to recreate their culinary delights on his own long ago. For...
Lightened Heart, Heavy Weight

"You want my permission to go off and train with someone else?" Enigma sat at the desk in his office, looking down at the paperwork with golden eyes, clawed fingers gently wrapped around the sheet. It was a request for a sabbatical lasting about a month,...
A Night to Remember
It was the last day of their vacation, before they had to return to the Magistrum to prepare for the next semester. Edmund decided that this evening would be special, and he knew just the way to do it. He called his partner, Mortimer, to...
Drink It All In
Between sips of the orange, fizzy beverage in his hand, low tide gently lapping at his feet, Edmund asked curiously, "Wow. This is good. Where'd ya find it?" His partner replied, walking up to him on the shoreline with the straw of his own drink hovering...
The Terror of Grazefield
In July of 2024, it had been quite some time since I had visited The Emperor, and even longer since I gave him a proper story. I felt the itch, and I had gotten a YCH from Marsel-Defender that was perfect for him, so I...
