Patina – Chapter 126
Maybe it really had something to do with Sadja’s mood and personal growth, but ever since she risked traveling through the night forest to guide her moth-friends home, the Hunter had seen sadja much happier. In the following days the storm did lift up a bit, allowing for moments when patches of blue sky could…

Patina – Chapter 119
Elissa knew someone would come. Did she expect the Seer of Dorsoduro, effectively the second-highest member of the entire Order, to knock on her door? Maybe not. Ever since… she had come back, she thought clenching her fist as if to feel a tiny thorn still embedded in her palm, and especially after she dealt…

Patina – Chapter 113
Sadja had followed the Hunter on a series of days of training, outside in the snowy woods. She got her first few killings, though it was mostly small-fry, tiny critter Eerie that wouldn’t be able to threaten the town. All in all, after she told him about the failing generator and the worries about holy…

Patina – Chapter 105
As Winter swung its white veils all over the plains, rolling down from the Old Country and onto the remains of the world of men, the floating city of Venexia traced its route back and forth between the ports of the Bittersea, collecting survivors from the direst Tide in recent memory. Desperate people hung onto…

Patina – Chapter 103
She was trying. Elissa was really trying. Taking the Hunter’s suggestions to heart, no matter how hard they had been listening to, she had waited for Sadja to come back to her.

Patina – Chapter 102
Sadja did not know what to think of this place. She stood on an endless, glass-smooth plane, the sky as vast and dark as an ocean of ink. No stars, either new or old, streaked its smooth surface. She looked down at her body and could perfectly see her hands and limbs and her clothes…

Patina – Chapter 100
Elissa’s study smelled like old things. Like leather, and rust, and seeping mold beneath the sleeping stones of the temple. She sat next to her on a large black table. The room was a wide circle surrounded by tall and thin windows shaped like bullets. Veils of sunlight peered though, as the occasional snowflake blinked…

Patina – Chapter 99
Sadja had never entered the town proper. But she did pick up clues. Putting on a light cloak to hide most of her more… peculiar features, she slipped past the line of iron rods on the fresh snow. It was a clear mornings after yet another night of groans and laments outside the protected circle…

Patina – Chapter 97
The Hunter blazingly strode through town. He received a few looks but they sled down his figure like oil on glass. He was not in the right mood to talk. In fact, he clenched and unclenched his right hand, as if trying to pump more blood into his body. His heart rasped against its cage…

Patina – Chapter 94
The Hunter shut the door and looked at the redhead as she stood silently, clenching and unclenching her right hand. “That was a bit uncalled for.” “She shot at you with a pistol and you get angry at me for a little bit of teasing?” “I already cleared things out with Cloria.” She whipped her…
