Patina – Chapter 162
“Wind is changing.” These were the words spoken throughout the various redoubts from the depths of the forest to the shorelines, no matter how deep into the Bittersea one could find them. Though Eerie attacks did not cease save for a specific part of the woods, and cold lingered like the cold breath of Papa…

Patina – Chapter 161
About those last few days of winter, Sadja remembered mostly three things. The first was how people were starting to really recognize her. And not just as the Hunter’s weird girl he had picked up somewhere in the forest, but as Sadja the helpful stranger who was always out and about, lending out a hand…

Patina – Chapter 160
Since before she knew her own name, Elissa had known the voices. There had been a time, she had discovered while studying as a Novice, when people used to shun and fear those like her, who perceived the world not just as it was but also as it could be. For the longest time, before…

Patina – Chapter 159
Fortunato did not know exactly what to expect when he began to use Cruoromancy on Elissa. He laid next to her on a thin mattress, the thin tubes connecting his scarred flesh to her charred one. He made sure to plunge the needles deep into her skin, at this point her nerves were likely completely…

Patina – Chapter 156
Cloria knew she had come too late – but maybe for the the first time in her life, or the last few years at the very least, she was grateful someone else was having all the luck in the world. She cried out from Bernardo’s embrace, a long and wailing sound, her throat parched from…

Patina – Chapter 155
I did not know where I was, she explained. Her voice was just as melodious as the last time he had heard I and his heart throbbed at holding her once again, so close. She did not smell like anything. Perhaps just a bit like old cinders, the kind you forget in the dark corners.…

Patina – Chapter 154
He proceeded on the uneven ground – his feet stumbled on holes and cracks. There was a slight upwards slope that lead to a bald peak where something indistinct fluttered, moving back and forth. He knew that was his destination. The crimson light of the thunderbolts going off in the ceiling-sky, showing off the inside…
