    Summary

    For a moment, Anaxa closed his eyes. For a moment, he listened to the swaying leaves, whispering words of comfort meant just for him. For a moment…

    When Anaxa next opened his eyes, it met the gaze with a man standing under the pavilion overlooking the grand courtyard. The man gasped--his breath hitched, as he clutched a hand to his chest. The moonlight reflected in his gentle eyes, his white hair so soft it seemed to glow.

    The man approached, stepping foot onto the same cobblestone path Anaxa had walked on. So slow, the man closed the gap--until he stood underneath Anaxa’s perch in the branches of the Great Tree. Never once did he take his eyes off of Anaxa.

    “What is a lonely maiden doing out here by her lonesome self?” The man asked.

    Anaxa was annoyed. “I am not a maiden.”

    Summary

    It's normal for a person to swap their Daemon as they and their Soulmate begin to enter the beginning stages of puberty. Sometimes it takes months, maybe even a few years. But for Shang Qinghua, he and Airplane were "late bloomers". And in a small town like his, it was a hot topic for gossip. Yet just before entering college the unexpected happened. Shang Qinghua's Daemon swapped with that of his Soulmate. However unbeknownst to Shang Qinghua, he didn't have just a single Soulmate. He had two. So close yet so far, the three will do anything to find their missing half. Though how will they react upon finding out that instead of halves, they're looking for thirds?

    Mynaxa Week Day 1: Markings/Fated

    Anaxa dies on the Luminary Throne. Miles away in Okhema, Mydei’s soulmark vanishes.

    I’m sorry, little lion, a soft voice says in his mind. The sound is faint, yet it’s the clearest Mydei has ever heard his soulmate’s voice. And then his mark blazes like his arm has been thrust into an open fire, a brand that sears to the bone.

    No, it can’t be

    It’s gone. His soulmark is gone.

    Summary

    “Carpal tunnel on the elbows and wrist, and tightness on the shoulders.” Deanreldy said. “Signs of strain on the median nerve, all the way up to the neck tendons.” Deanreldy sounded conversational, even casual. “I suppose the calluses on your hands can also be easily explained… or perhaps, they come from using magic?”

    In an instant, Beldaruit recoiled. He slapped aside Deanreldy’s hands, twisting his entire body away. “Is this part of your scheme? Stop this at once! I refuse to be your specimen!”

    Deanreldy was too clever by half. If he allowed the king to continue, Beldaruit feared that his body would somehow betray their witchly secrets. It was easy enough to hide his fear with anger, although part of the anger was directed at himself. He had let down his guard. 

    After the disastrous meeting, Deanreldy visits Beldaruit in private to tend to his wounds.

    Summary

    What should one do or feel when he discovers that his old friend has been erasing his mind, over and over again, for almost as long as they've known each other?
    Most people would react with anger or distress. Perhaps they'd consider it a betrayal. But Olruggio isn't most people. Nor is this a situation anyone else would ever find themselves in.
    Not like this. Not like the two of them.
    Because he knows perfectly well that he is the one to blame: The real culprit behind the spell that's trapping them in an endless loop of misery.
    ---
    Olruggio remembers everything. He fully intends to use this knowledge to his advantage. This plan will be better than the last.
