The centipede crawled to the edge of her hand and fell to the ground because it was a bug and had no brain. Noi liked bugs because of this— they were quieter creatures compared to those surrounding her. Noi broke eye contact, looking down to see a bit foot crush the centipede. Bye bye, Roderick...

Noi blinked up at the monkey. Vibrant and dazzling was his costume, well put together with small details creating a bigger picture. She was certain the colors were done on purpose because everyone knew that yellow and red monkeys looked more like a faded orange or just a brighter sort of brown...

The first step to getting a knife was to first get a mask. Russet hair and short stature did little to place Noi out of the ordinary from behind. The peculiar structure of her face matched with the red hair and petite body together is what made her known as the Guardian of Silence. At least...

“She’s just staring at the wall. It’s weird.” “I think the weirdest thing is her being in Valenntenia. The last three before her always made sure to leave.” “What’s weird is how we’re just watching her. C’mon, let’s go. Sylvia’s gonna lose it when we’re late again.” As the trio of young women...

Foxes didn’t think like people. Noi knew that. Every creature was different. Her goat, Wintergreen, for instance, thought very little of the sky until it rained and cared more about the ground unless it rained and then it worried about the sky. Noi cared equally for the sky and earth very...

The fox was known. It had different vibrations than everything else. In her head, she could smell love. Love had a nice smell, like the color chartreuse. They didn’t smell the same, but both smells were nice. She went to follow after the fox, seeing it slip underneath the table. It just so...

Where were the snacks? Noi had thought that if she came here, she’d be able to get some snacks before she had to go out and travel. She had traveled the least out of the guardians it seemed. While she had been one of the newer ones to obtain the stone, Noi had wanted to go and travel...

It was fun to see the other’s homes. Noi had no home. Just a room. Now that she was a Guardian meant she no longer had that room. It would be occupied by another, isolated from the world and in absolute quiet. Perhaps that person might be the next to take on the stone of silence. Just in case...

Noi nodded her head, eager. Three years would be enough, she would be older, wiser, and have more secrets! And then maybe she could tell Solomon about the vibrations she felt, the big scary one? No Guardian had ever shared it before, and Noi knew she shouldn’t share it yet either. Only when the...

What did she feel? Noi’s brows furrowed into confusion. This was strange, shouldn’t he care more about what she could provide? Shouldn’t she make up for her lack of progress? But then his words of comfort were so strange. Wasn’t she chosen because she lacked emotions in general? Even happiness...

Noi beamed at Solomon’s deft hands making movements that were clear and concise. Some of the other Guardians had been learning for Noi’s benefit as well, but they stumbled or failed to complete the movements correctly. It was the thought that mattered. Although, Noi just wanted to hold their...

Noi’s hair was still curled from all of Lyta’s expertise the night before. No longer pristine ringlets but loose and wavy, a start contrast to her normally straight hair. But very much like the day before, Noi’s attire was questionable. Pants and tunic too big so that the small woman was...

Noi should have placed her hand on her rune stone to listen to Solomon’s speech, but she had decided it would be more fun to play pretend instead. After all, how much could this speech be different from the one three years ago with Myra or Maun before her? Solomon would start with a little...

Taima! Not many could speak to Noi through their hands alone, and normally such things were fine when the stone was in Noi’s possession. Right now, it was either the sign around her neck or signing with their hands. Noi preferred the latter over the former, but she had never felt right about...

The issue with being mute and deaf was that when the stone was away from her, Noi really couldn’t know what was going on around her. Having only received the stone six months prior, Noi felt disappointment instead of dread. She wouldn’t be able to talk to others like she normally could thanks to...
