Strixes Alaric X
Alaric XI was laying in bed, staring up at the ceiling. I had accessed my strix powers quicker than was natural, but I chalked it up to being someone else. While I did have control over them, it wasn't the fine control that Yayoi and Kaya demonstrated later on.I thought I had good control, but the control Yayoi and Kaya could wield... I was like an infant. Supposedly Damien had even more control and raw power than any of his knights, but those skills didn't transfer.Why hadn't they? I could speak and read and write Japanese and French, skills I could only have inherited from Damien. I had a level of control that should have taken time for me to learn, skills that I could have only inherited from my other self.So why didn't I have all his control? Or just his raw power? I could feel that power deep inside of me, just below the surface. It felt like I was on a lake, but there was a thick layer of ice separating me from the water below. I tried to chip away at it with my hands, but I
Strixes Alaric XI
Alaric XIThat night, I dreamed about Pluto. It seemed like a silly thing to dream about, a city that I'd never set foot in, but I found myself watching the streets fly by below me. I was taking a monorail that crisscrossed above the city, watching for... Something.In the dream, I was here for a reason. There was something in this city that I needed. Something that would help me kill. Dream me marveled as the city passed, wishing he should have seen Los Vegas or Maca even once so he had something to compare it to. My dream self had been all over Artemis, but this was his first time in the City of Pleasure. Holo billboards of naked women advertising various prostitution companies mixed seamlessly with the glistering skyscrapers.Other cities, like Neptune and Xijing for instance, took architecture from the past and used that as a model. Pluto took the opposite direction, going for a city that looked like something people in the 1950s thought a future city would look like.Dream-Me wis
Strixes Alaric XII
Alaric XIIThe Ferrari- no, the Silver Rose was fast. Very fast. Instead of driving through the city streets, we took a sharp turn to a ramp that put us on the overway, high above the city.As soon as we were above it all, Kaya shifted gears and pressed on the gas. Given that every car and everything was solar-powered here, could it be called a gas pedal? No, but that was common vernacular, so I doubt it was going away any time soon.As soon as we were on the overway, Kaya took off like a bat out of hell. The car rocketed forward and she was swerving in and out of traffic with incredible ease. If I was riding with a human, I would have demanded that they slow down and stop. To pull over so I could take the wheel.According to my knights, I was pretty indestructible. Or at least a lot more durable than a human. I'd be more afraid for the human driver than myself, but with Kaya, it didn't cross my mind to try and stop her. As a strix, my dexterity was stupidly good and if she was anythi
Strixes Reborn Gamer Promo
I just want to post this here to see if I can get any interested viewers for a story I have on Webnovel. It's called Reborn Gamer and I'll be posting the first six chapters here. After this, we will be returning to Strixes uploads********************************************Chapter I: The Goddess AthenaI know you're not going to believe me, but this is the truth. It sounds crazy and insane, but every word I tell you is nothing but the truth. It's going to sound fantastic, insane, unbelievable, and everything else you can say about it.But it's the truth and there's plenty of evidence if you know where to look. I know what you're going to say; "Evidence? Of reincarnation? That's impossible." Not at all. There is plenty of proof throughout history. Take Dorthy Eady, for instance. A British woman who claimed she lived in Ancient Egypt as a priestess in the Cult of Isis. She has given a convincing account of her life before.Then there's the account of the Oklahoma boy, Ryan, who lived
Strixes Evelyn X: Hawkengale Grey and Norima Morigami
Evelyn X: Hawkendale Grey, Norima Morigami and IllusionsIn a strange twist of irony, the titan that ambushed me and sent me spiraling in my own mind got me away from my two crazy partners. Crazy is how they came off, at least. But I'm getting a little bit ahead of myself.I found out why my apartment had three rooms before I left. Not only was I being given command of this new team, but they'd have to live with me. Of course, Sword didn't want to put them anywhere else. Sword had to bother me. I was even in charge of their check-up. And of course, it couldn't be done at a normal doctor's office.Ukinoma Virus Detention Center was the sister prison to Ukinomi in Neptune. They were the only prisons for the infected in Aquroya. We were going to have to visit the prison to do checkups on my two new teammates. A special team that was brief on their augmentations was needed and they had to do it at the prison to make sure no one overheard.At least we'd be sent the new Athena Armor from Ne
Strixes Evelyn XI
Evelyn XI The cell had been cleaned, despite our request. Our escort claimed it had been cleaned before the prison received the warrant, but that meant fuck all to me. They should have known that Sword would conduct an investigation. They shouldn't have disturbed the crime scene, but Ukinoma Prison didn't seem to care in the slightest. Maybe I would write Director Shiratori and see if I could get an order for the warden to come to Sabre Tower. Get her to step through the DNA scanner. She might have said otherwise, but cleaning the crime scene would only serve to protect the strix who killed the inmate. Maybe the warden was that strix. Maybe she was using her influence to cover up disappearances in this prison. Having her coroner write false death certificates. I activated the team com: "Glen." "Yes, captain?" "When you're finished over there, I want you to go through the death records of Ukinoma Prison. Look for any abnormalities or discrepancies. Look for anything that might be e
Strixes The Mouse
The mouse watched as the hunter collapsed on the floor. It warched from the security room, silently turning off the alarm before the rest of the hunters could be alerted.Before Miyuki could be alerted. Alice had paid him to make sure she wouldn't know until the message had been delivered. If anyone could break the illusion, it would be that witch.His watch started beeping. It was time to go, but not before he uploaded the virus. That should keep them busy for the time being.The mouse put his cap back on and adjusted his suit. No one looked at him twice as he walked out.
Strixes Evelyn XII
Evelyn XIIThe warden bid us goodbye with tangible relief. We might have caused her a big headache, and for that I was sorry, but it had to be done. I don't know what Alice and whatever monstrosity she created was here for, but it's better in the long run for Ukinoma Prison that they were exposed and removed.The prison had excellent PR, so I'm sure it'll recover. The Autonomous Cities in general had excellent PR.As the ship left the port, I leaned back in my chair. The seats were comfortable. It was a lot more comfortable than I remembered. I was able to catch thirty minutes of sleep before we docked in Neptune's Port.Director Shiratori himself came out to meet us. There were two vans emblazoned with the Sword logo. Inspector Sparks stood by one, smoking a cigarette. It was a familiar and comfortable sight."I'm going to ride with Evelyn alone," the director announced. "There is a pressing issue I must speak with her about."The rest of my team rode with Inspector Sparks in the oth

Wandering Wolves Preview
In the fullness of time, we would come to find that the bandits were the foolish ones. No one in their right mind would call that place home.There was something worse than bandits in those mountains and we were front and center to see it.We had just gotten near the bottom of the mountains after a week of walking. All around the mountain was what looked like an African savanna. There was one long dirt road that ran straight through the tall grass and scattered trees. I imagined a lion laying in wait for us in that tall grass. Yep, we would be taking the dirt path.Euphy was groaning about lunch, and Gwen was all smiles."How about we make camp here? We can cook those rabbits."I'm glad we had Gwen with us. She wasn't just a top-class magician, she could create magic traps. Traps designed for catching something to eat.I looked at the sky. The sun was still high. "I think we should keep moving. We want to find civilization, don't we.""We already have," Euphy reminded me."Civilization

Wandering Wolves Preview
The Girl with Auburn HairIn the early morning light, the valley was beautiful. As the sun got higher in the sky, mist rose from the trees and covered the mountains. It wasn't the color-changing fog of Attea's creation, but a common, white mist. As the sun climber further into the sky, the mist burned away. The lake shimmered in the sunlight as a breeze gently rocked through the valley.There was something ethereal about this place. It felt out of an anime or fantasy book, untouched by human hands. I lived my whole life in San Francisco. When I was younger, my parents took me to see the Redwoods, but that was the only time I left the city. It was a very long time ago. To me, the world had become a concrete jungle.Wind Port was a lot better to look at, but it was still a city. Where ever we were, there wasn't a single sign of civilization. And it was beautiful. This place looked like it was out of a dream.I couldn't get the boar out of my head. Through the night, it haunted me. A dum

Knight Three
When the wolves began to surround her, the Knight expected attack. Instead the wolves turned tail and sprinted up the stairs.In the direction of one of the evacuations. The Knight had started to regard the wolves as young. Gifted, talented, but young. Head strong. Not the kind of beasts that she would have to worry about being clever. At least, not yet. The Knight didn't have any intention of letting them live that long.She underestimated them. She she flew up the stairs after them, desperate to make sure the evacuation wasn't interrupted.The wolve nearest her, the male, turned on her like a dime. He jumped off the wall and tackled her, it's mouth ripping into her shoulder.He tour a chunk out of her skin.

Knight 2
The Knight was starting to feel a little bad about it. It was like taking candy fro. a baby. These wolves were the babies and she was the mean and she was the frightening old hag in this children's story. It wasn't that the wolves were bad. In fact, for being so young (and they were young, if their scents told her anything), they fought extremely well. They had trained to fight as a pack anf there was nothing to critique.It was just a shame they ran into her, a monster so old. One who had feed on so much blood it might as well fill an ocean.Still, she wouldn't underestimate them. As the three wolves positioned themselves around her, she prepared to end their lives.

Knight
Her office was in ruins and now she was pissed. She shouldn't be. She would have to abandon the office regardless, because the wolves decided to come.It all looped back again to the wolves. The Knight was going to have to destroy her office before Sword got here, so she was going to take her agression out on the mutts that caused all of this.The two wolves divided, coming at her from different sides. The Knight kept her eyes on the female, listening intently to the male behind her.When he moved, she heard it and he jumped over the charging beast.The Knight raked her claws across its back, drawing blood.

The Knight
The office was a clean and polished white. It looked even more professional than than the government offices she used to work in. From the office, you had a great view of the arra called the quad. There was a creepy bronze statue of Nathaniel Gilbert, the founder of the city. The Gilbert family were apparently rich as all hell and still contributed so much to the school. And now her office was in pieces. Granted, she was the one who propelled the wolf through, but she wasn't about to admit that.At least she heard a resounding CRACK!The other two hesitated. "Well? Come at me, mutts."

Bianca Continued
When she saw the woman on the stairs, Bianca growled. The scene of the dead radiated off of her. Not the blood of her victims, no. The deep, decaying scent of death that a rotting body produces.There were only two thinga that made that scent: the aforementioned rotting bodies and the strix.Not a strigo ot a striges, but a true creature of the night. Either a knight or a progenitor. The woman smirked as her fingernails extended into claws. She leaped down the stairs and attacked them head on, despite being out numbered.Bianca barked, the sign to scatter, but it was too late. The strix jump tackled her.

The Commander
"Where are the wolves?" she asked."They have entered the tunnels, commander," one of her officers replied."When will they breach the lower levels?""Less than five minutes.""Very well. It's been a long time since I've skinned a mutt. Maybe I'll make a pelt. Continue the evacuation. I want everything out by lunch time.""You think the mutts will make it down here?""I'm not worried about the animals, but Sword is coming. For us and the mutts. This facility is compromised. We're leaving.""Understood, commander.""Alert security. I don't want any of them up there with us. Have them on guard while we evacuate."

Chaos Finale
It came to an end when The Guard was cornered by one of the wolf mutts. In that moment, he thought his life was over.He had chased the female to one of the old board rooms the humans used. The room was small and he was sure it would restrict her movements. With his strength and the pistol, he'd be able to overpower her.That was his original plan. And it semed to work, for a second. He ran straight in after the female bitch in the leg.The only problem was how close to the door she was. She rammed him through the room. She sank her teeth in his skin and ripped off his arm. She would have taken his head off if he hadn't fallen through a window.
