A silence came over the room. Devon stared, unmoving, till eventually I broke the gaze. I glanced toward Alice but she wasn’t looking anywhere else but the other Grimm.
I could see the ice ripple across her skin, and the air start to wisp....

Food wasn’t the same with the impending weight of the funeral ahead. Alice stayed cold, silent even as she stuffed her face with what Volk piled on her plate. The big man himself was joined by his brother, the two doing their best to look aw...
"It's Mordred?! Where?!"
The shouts only grew more excited by the second and the swell of children continued to grow until I was an island alone in the courtyard.
It took everything I had not to flip Igas off, but I reined in my impu...
She growled and released a wave of ice that erupted around her feet. Alice launched herself at a metal stand adorned with a single pair of vambraces. The metal screeched under her swing and she went to work tearing it apart till it was nothing mor...

"I don't like the way y'all are looking at me. What did I do wrong? Seriously," I said, as I crossed my arms.
Celenae and Teddy shared a glance, while Isaac kept his head cocked like a curious puppy.

Even with the hum of my whistle filling my ears, the crowd drowned the noise in an avalanche of sound.
Sunlight filtered through, drawing my gaze upward into the open sky.
It was... terrifying.

When we found Kierra, she wasn’t alone. In fact, it wasn’t just Adeline that accompanied her. The walk and short ride back to the Warren was relatively peaceful, not accounting for the low simmering tension from Alice.

Aight, fuck it.
Without a word, I grabbed onto Arzurous' fuzzy backside and hauled myself up, finding a standing position behind Igas.
As title says, no post today. Still recovering from my shit, but there'll be a chapter tomorrow. Sorry for the slack, I wanted to have a chapter done and ready but it was impossible to write anything sunday.

I politely knocked and took a step to the side. Few minutes passed with no answer and I was highly tempted to hijack the enchantment like last time but the door rattled open.
Isaac peered from out the door and I tapped him on the ear.

Alice swung her axe and bisected the poor, defenseless training dummy. Its reinforced leather head rolled across the sand and came to a rest before my boot.
She spun it around, revealing the edges of sharpened ice coating the blades.
