  • Completing the Circle – Epilogue

    Circles Within the Circle It’s all so hard to believe. I glance up at Shigeru and smile even as we’rewalking through the woods with my hand clasped in his. We’ve done it. It’s allover. And tonight… I gaze up at the darkening sky and feel totally at peace.Tonight, I’m his. Now and forever. “How far…

  • Completing the Circle – Part Four

    Soul of Fire I jerked the reins of my horse to hold it back for a moment, and studied thetrail leading into the forest. Was it level enough? In the rapidly fadingdaylight, it was hard to tell. I really didn’t care how long it took me to reachMasara, as long as I was there before…

  • Completing the Circle – Part Three

    Storm of Water “Hiro-kun!” I supported my friend as he sagged in my arms, muscles goneloose. “Are you all right?” What a stupid question! Of course he wasn’t allright; he’d just spent all of his energy battling a hurricane! To his credit, he didn’t say anything about how ridiculous the question I’djust asked him was.…

  • Completing the Circle – Part Two

    Spirit of Air I managed to catch Satoshi’s limp form before it hit the ground. Poor kid. That was the second time that day he’d have to be taken back to myplace unconscious. Well, at least he’s still alive. That’s something to be thankful for, after today. “I seem to have come at a bad…

    Heart of Earth “Hold it right there!” Yikes! I froze in mid-step, one hand still clenched around the coldmetal doorknob that would open my gateway to freedom.

  • Birth of a Legend – Part Five

    “Just like that!” Hiroshi grinned. “Perfect!” He studied the placement of the large silver plate with satisfaction. “We’re making good time, Shigeru. Only one more to go, and then we can head inside.” “Good.” Shigeru sighed, and sat down — but he didn’t look as pleased as he should be. Hiroshi wasn’t sure he understood…

  • Birth of a Legend – Part Four

    Warm. It was warm. Satoshi turned from the fire, slowly, to look at his surroundings. The room was like a cavern, eerily lit up by the fire and torches on the walls. Grotesque statues and carvings littered the place, and shadows danced in a way that, to Satoshi’s fear-clouded mind, seemed horribly unnatural. They almost…

  • Birth of a Legend – Part Three

    “Who goes there?” By the time he reached the unicorn’s clearing, Satoshi was so exhaused that all he could do was half-stumble, half-slide down the side of the hill. He was tightly controlling his hysteria, but choking sobs escaped him all the same. He looked upward toward the fire, where a brown-haired dwarf regarded him…
