The werecats had emptied the town center, setting up tables enough for all the villagers. Their werecat escort led to the triangular table in the center, where they arranged places for them to sit together.
While full, long tables surrounded theirs, this one had only enough seats for the sages and their familiars. There was no head of the table, and only the familiar would sit next to any particular Onyx Sage. Clarissa hoped it would limit the disagreements between Blake and Stefan. Along the outside of the seating tables, food stations were set up.
The smell that came from them made her mouth water and her stomach grumble. She came hungry, but she a

Clarissa Lotus left the balls of light floating magically in the air as she returned to the table. Clarissa stared at them in awe. They were not too bright but still allowed them to see without the interruption of shadow. “There we go. We can sssee all.” Lotus said, self-satisfied.Clarissa’s giggles bubbled up. Lotus’s bored expression asked what was so funny. But that only made her laugh harder. “You chose the right sage,” Clarissa said through her laughter. “You and Stefan are perfect companions.”

Clarissa The rest of the evening moved swiftly and pleasantly. Blake and Stefan sat at the table, making light conversation. She enjoyed being with both of them without them fighting. However strange it was. Parents gathered their young ones and retired to their homes for bedtime. Childless werecats sat around talking with pints of ale. “We should probably head back too,” Clarissa suggested with a yawn as Mimi, Eriyumilai, and Lotus gathered around their table. Blake and Stefan were both quick to agree. Clarissa couldn’t help but feel like she missed something with them, some understanding they gained while rolling arou

Blake When they returned to their room, Blake put his pup to bed. Eriyumilai rested his little head on the pillow and closed his eyes. With a sweet smile, Blake covered him up and petted his head. “I have to go speak with Clarissa.” He whispered. Eriyumilai’s only response was a deep snort. Blake chuckled as he left the room. It was time that he spoke with Clarissa about their last meeting. Her bedroom door was open, and she sat on the bed next to Mimi, who lay curled up by her side. She gently stroked her familiar with a distant look on her face as she stared at her bed. Her expression was slack, and her shoulders slumped. “Clarissa?” He whispered.

StefanAs Blake stepped swiftly out of Clarissa’s room, he practically barged into Stefan. Stefan growled and stepped back, avoiding the collision.“What are you doing?” Stefan whispered angrily.Why was he in Clarissa’s room, especially with the door shut? What was going on in there? Stefan demanded answers.“Going to bed.” Blake replied indifferently.Stefan growled again, wanting a better explanation. But Blake was shutting his bedroom door before Stefan could question him further. Blake’s exit from Clarissa’s room only filled him with more questions.Doubts and explosive emotions battled with his

Stefan Sweat covered Stefan’s brow as he faced Lotus. A wicked smile covered his face. This was the moment. Total exhilaration flooded him. Stefan ducked out of Lotus’s stinging bite. As he shifted to recover from the movement, she slashed her tail at him. The tail sliced through his arm, drawing blood. He grimaced and went in for his strike. Smoothly gliding into her side, he sliced her with the small blade his trainer provided. Lotus hissed and lunged at him. Stefan jumped on top of her and she went tumbling into the dirt. Lotus was a fearsome fighter already but this was too close for her. Stefan finished the fight in a couple more movements. “Very well. Lotus, do you concede?” The elder werecat, Dion, asked when he determined the fight was over. He was a greying tiger with bulging muscles and a vicious smile. Earlier in his life, the man stood as tall as Stefan. But now he hunched over and carried a walking stick. His grey eyes were sharp and astute, showing no sign of the n

Clarissa As Chief Yungerr attended to his people without breaks, the day swiftly disappeared. Every time someone left the room, another person entered. The sun was casting long shadows throughout the room when people stopped coming in. Mimi observed everything from the corner of the room. Everyone seemed surprised to see him. He unnerved and distracted them momentarily. But Mimi remained quiet and motionless throughout the day. Clarissa sighed and Chief Yungerr looked over at her. She stretched her back, realizing now how stiff she had gotten. The cushions on Chief Yungerr’s chair were completely necessary and she wished her seat was more comfortable.

Stefan Clarissa kept making strange faces at him throughout dinner. He didn’t appreciate being stared at while he was eating. The chipper conversation rubbed him raw until he could no longer sit still. But once he had Arcadia and Evander in his room, the pressure started to lessen. He had to focus on what was going on back home. Those affairs required his attention now. But his mind forced itself back to the fact that Clarissa had chosen to sit next to Blake during dinner. She hadn’t even sat across from Stefan. A wicked voice in his head questioned what they were doing under the table. The question made no sense. Clarissa kept her hands visible the entire meal. But did Blake? Stefan couldn’t remember, but he did remember the pink flush of her cheeks as she ate. “What do you wish to discuss?” Arcadia asked, sounding like a soldier reporting for duty. She and Evander stood near the closed door at parade rest. Stefan rumbled low in his throat, uncomfortable with their carefu

Clarissa As the blue cloud dissipated, a sudden rush of darkness overwhelmed Clarissa’s senses. Shadows swallowed the world around. A chill ran through her soul. The bond with Stefan and Blake thrummed with concern, but she was already being pulled away.She stood alone in a broken landscape. The sky was a mass of swirling black clouds, blotting out any light. The ground cracked and crumbled, swallowing remnants of once-great cities. Rivers of molten lava snaked through the land, burning everything in their path. The smell of sulfur and ash assaulted her senses.Clarissa’s heart pounded. People ran in every direction, their screams piercing the air. The devastation was total. The earth shuddered, the once-vibrant land reduced to a hellscape of devastation and despair.Her eyes were drawn to the sky, where twisted winged creatures circled. Once noble beasts like her own Mimi, they were now corrupted and enslaved by the malevolent force that brought this destruction.And then, at the ce

BlakeBlake was eager for the ceremony, having studied its technical aspects all week. Yet nothing had prepared him for the overwhelming magnificence of the experience. The ceremony had not been performed for hundreds of years, as the werecat village patiently awaited the hatching of the sacred eggs. Each generation practiced the ritual in reverence, their chants echoing through the ages in hopes that an Onyx Sage would soon emerge. Now, with the arrival of not one, but three Onyx Sages, the village buzzed with unprecedented excitement. The rhythmic chanting of the villagers infused the air with potent magic, each syllable amplifying the mystical energy that surrounded them. This ancient ceremony was designed to cement the bond between the familiar and the sage, intertwining their souls and enhancing their powers but the effect of multiple Onyx Sages in the same ceremony was uncertain. As the chants grew louder, the magic intensified, weaving an unbreakable connection that would ens

ClarissaBefore the door creaked open, the raucous roar of the massive crowd echoed through the stone hallway, a low, thunderous vibration that pulsed in time with Clarissa’s heart. Each footstep amplified the charged energy in the air. As they stepped out onto the stage where they would bind to their familiars, the blinding sunlight turned the bustling world into a bright blur.As her eyes adjusted, a sea of faces stretching as far as the eye could see came into sharp focus. Hundreds of onlookers packed the grand courtyard, their collective breath held in anticipation. The transition from the thunderous noise inside to the outside’s deafening silence was startling. Heads turned in unison, eyes wide with reverence and curiosity.Stefan subtly shifted his stance, placing himself slightly in front of Clarissa, as if shielding her from unseen dangers the crowd represented. Chief Yungerr stepped forward to address the crowd.“After ages of darkness, the Onyx Sages have been reborn with th

Clarissa Glowing purple flora illuminated the bath cavern, casting a soft light over the shimmering pool of teal-lit water, as Clarissa scrambled out of the tub and grabbed the robe hanging just inside the door of the bath chamber. Mimi followed her. But she didn’t see the mysterious elf anywhere.Where had she gone? Clarissa bolted down the hall, checking down every corridor she passed. But they were as empty as her understanding of the elf’s words. Who was going to ask her to go somewhere? Where? And even more confounding, what truth would be revealed there?The cave’s corridor pulsed with flickering light, ancient runes burning like warning embers. Shadows twisted violently as Clarissa sprinted after the mysterious woman, her breath sharp, the air electric with impending doom. Each step echoed louder, pushing her forward through the narrowing path.At the last corridor, Clarissa gasped and her eyes widened. An old woman in a lavender robe huddled in the corner.

Clarissa Clarissa lifted her sleepy head from the table, her thoughts spinning sluggishly. The knock that woke her sounded again. Jumping up, she ran to let Stefan in. She fell asleep waiting for him. Disappointment gripped her when she saw the werecat ready to show them to their lessons again. She rubbed her eyes and stared at her confusedly. There was no way it was time already. She hadn’t even been to bed yet. Blake came out of his room looking refreshed and rested. Clarissa felt the dry spit on her face and knew that her hair was a mess. She couldn’t sit in front of everyone all day like this. “Good morning.” Blake greeted them, smiling warmly. Clarissa tried not to let his chipper attitude bother her. But she was exhausted and frustrated. Ignoring his cheer would be challenging; however, it was not his fault that she had not slept. “Just give me a minute to get ready.” She asked, realizing that they had not brought breakfast this morning. She went into her room to cl
