Chapter 85: The Sun Will Not Disappear x I Will Chase You to the Dark Continent
Mother Kikyo's belly grew larger by the day. Father Silva could often be seen supporting her as they took evening strolls in the garden after dinner to aid digestion. During these times, Silva would shed his usual stern fatherly facade and perfectly embody the role of a considerate husband.
Chapter 84: Tanjuro Entrusts His Family x Illumi Awakens Ren
Years ago, Yoriichi Tsugikuni once told the Kamado family ancestor, Sumiyoshi: "All those who reach the pinnacle arrive at the same place. Even if times change and everyone's experiences differ, they ultimately reach the same destination."
In the original story, ten days before his death, Tanjuro took Tanjiro...

Aboard The Ironclad, in his private quarters within the Warband's armory, Phelon emerged from the steam-filled ablutions chamber. A simple towel was knotted at his waist, and water dripped from his void-black skin as he sat on the iron-framed cot. He picked up a data-slate he'd been reading: 'A Compendium of Old Terran Jests and Witticisms'.

The Dark Mechanicum. That portion of the Cult of Mars which turned traitor during the Horus Heresy. Some of their Magi still claim it was the Imperium that first violated the Treaty of Olympia, and that the loyalist Mechanicum are the true traitors to the Omnissiah.
It no longer matters. History proved that the losing side is always the t...

Five months later.
Outside the high walls of the City-State of Lacedaemon, Sachs stared at the fortifications, his brow furrowed. He was wearing a suit of Enforcer-issue carapace armor that didn't fit, the pauldrons chafing his shoulders. But he was more worried about the battle.
If they didn't take this city soon, he and all ...

Sachs was, all things considered, fine. Aside from a broken nose. He had been terrified the armsmen were dragging him to some dark ritual, or to become the main course at some lord's feast.
Instead, they had taken him to the showers, forced him under scalding-hot water, and given him a clean, silver-grey set of shipboard fatigues.
Chapter 6: The Lower Decks
On the lowest decks of The Ironclad, three ship-thralls pushed a filthy slop-cart down a foul-smelling passageway. They dumped buckets of protein blocks into the feeding trough for each sector.
They hated this job. The food was supposed to be delivered by the auto-feeders, but the conduits had broken last month. Damage Control said they'd fix...

The subterranean secret consumed most of Joric's processing cycles, but he did not relax his vigilance on the surface. The newly deployed sensor net and his constantly patrolling servo-skulls monitored every heartbeat of the surrounding wasteland.

After the departure of the two runners, Joric's manufactorum returned to its deep silence. The only sounds were the faint whir of the servo-skull's augurs and the precise, near-silent operation of his tools, a low-thrumming hymn of industry.

Rebecca and Pilar were in a quiet corner of the warehouse, sitting on crates with the food trays Dorio had given them.

To an ordinary Pokémon, the Fountain of Life was an incredibly high-level source of energy, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. But to Celebi, it was just a supplement for quickly recovering its stamina—its daily bread.
