Braver: A Saga of Crows

Weekly Contest #366

Her phone is ringing off the hook. She’s in bed. It’s past midnight. No way in Hell is she going to answer that damn thing… no way at the dead of this night. It's humid in her dank bedroom. Just breathing is arduous labor with the air choking her with each gasp. There are occasions in some evenings, when the air is actually cool and crisp, she can easily slip into slumber. On those cool refreshing days she stays up for a bit; a little past midnight with a chill cooling her body. On those days when she watches the lights transform in the twil...

A group of Beasts respond to the distress signal. Raptors and the Tengu rapidly glide into the scene; not one of them pay respect to their massacred comrade nor do they heed his warning. Their only objective is to capture those who do not resist and to kill whoever tosses even a simple pebble in retaliation… Especially this spikey blonde youth with the steel blue eyes and massive sword. Who is this newcomer!? Clyde Nils springs into action; his massive sword raised to slay these mechanical abominations. The Raptors dive in for a sweeping ass...

The one garbed in the red suit and white shirt is named Shing Lin. She assumes a stance with one leg spread behind the other and her arms opening like a blossoming flower. This is the Art of the Phoenix. Her brother, Bao Lin is dressed in a black shirt and green suit. He assumes a stance both loose and active with his hands formed into dragon claws and with bent elbows at a 90 degree angle. He hops slightly to the left and to the right as if his feet were on fire: this is the Dragon Style. Fei Ling and Shiva stand with their backs against ea...
