    Private Tales Wisps of White and Grey

    “Good.” Itachi said, another clack on the board, further away from his loss. He readied himself to start a new battle, the war still not yet won. “If you didn’t, I’d have to haunt you, and really, I don’t want to be around you more than I have to.” Lie and truth intermingled in his words...

    Itachi slammed the captured piece too hard on the table. If he looked human, Hazanko would recognize the scowl one only gave when defending a woman’s honor. As if he very much looked like a bird, there was little expression in his features and so he huffed in disapproval at Hazanko’s words. How...

    A pawn was taken, and in return, Itachi took Hazanko’s piece that had been placed down like a greedy dreadlord in the center of the biggest armada of Arethil. He wagged a talon at the old, foolish shaman. “Don’t you say anything lewd about my Hinoka.” Itachi said, the ruse up. He had gotten...

    Once again, he went to grab for another sweet, quickly devouring the sweet. He tossed the stick back onto the plate. “Last year the biwa player was better.” He said in a conspiratorial whisper, leaning over the table just enough so Hazanako wouldn’t miss a word. “The pretty girl in yellow who...

    “More than you.” Itachi said with just a hint of playfulness that was hard to discern on whether it was flirty or prideful. Whether he did or didn’t was up to speculation, but that was how the shaman preferred it. He was quiet as he took his time to study the board. “Yes, it is a shame...

    If Itachi was younger he would have squawked out a laugh. Refined? “Is that what we’re calling it now?” Just for Hazanko, Itachi did ruffle his pretty feathers. He had leaned back some, less upright than before, slowly becoming undone by the shogi and tea and sweets. While Hazanko took his sweet...

    “Still into losing your money.” Itachi shook his head as if the thought actually displeased him. As long as it was Hazanko’s money, Itachi didn’t much care what he did with it. Speaking of gambling…. Itachi placed down the first tile, deeming himself to go first. He made sure it was perfectly...

    Itachi grinned. “Old?” He seemed to ruffle his feathers, as if peacocking for Hazanko like a bird that wanted to impress it’s future mate. He went to grab another sweet and scarfed it down as greedily as he had the others. He enjoyed their red bean jelly, even if it was too sweet and there were...

    Itachi glanced up at Hazanko as he grumbled and huffed as if he had been asked to move a mountain from the island to the mainland miles upon miles away. Perhaps in some ways he had asked too much of the old man, but then again, it’s not like these tiles were going to get in line themselves...

    The ever-wise raven began the process of setting each marked tile in it’s correct spot. He started on his side and then proceeded to do Hazanko’s. He was quiet for a long while as he did this, his focus immense as each tile had to be exactly right. If they were uneven he’d had to fix it until it...

    Itachi laughed with little humor, holding back his sneer and instead peering down his beak at the man before him. He gulped down his dessert. He had no reason to chew. “Superstitions are good for business.” Hazanko should know as much. Itachi went to grab another sweet but found it was gone. He...

    “Humph.” The imposing black raven-man ruffled his feathers, claws going up to tilt his bamboo woven hat forward just as he stepped inside. “There was a black cat in my way. You know how I feel about cats.” If the raven could smile he would have but instead he fixed Old Man Hazanko with a stare...

    Letters A Letter to Initiate Aelita

    On one unordinary day, Aelita would find a letter stashed into a pocket of her pants. When it got there or even how long it had been there would be hard to discern. If she opened it up, neat handwriting would greet her. What was strange though was that the handwriting was incredibly brief. Only...

    Letters A Letter to Initiate Aelita

    On one particular night when Aelita would head back to her room after not being inside it for some time, there would be a letter on her pillow. There was no seal to keep it closed, at least not a wax one. It had been sealed with a dark glob that was crusted over the parchment. When Aelita would...
