A Skeleton's Duty

Friend. Lovers. Blood kin. Humans. Beast kin. Enemies. Targets.

At one time, humans and beast kin called each other friends. They weathered the bad times together and celebrated the good times. They even called one another blood brothers and sisters. They fought beside one another.

Time has made these two groups forget their shared history—forget their past relationships. Now, instead of fighting beside one another, the lands at Selenus and Radal prepare to end their cease-fire and once again soak Dena in one another’s blood.

Atrocities committed by both sides make the blood feuds run deep and mercy—let alone forgiveness—feels impossibly far away.

With war and death on the horizon, Anthony and his friends aren’t about to sit back.

The new generation of Guardians have a lot of work ahead of them—they must pull the people of Dena together.

Anthony, come on, how are you going to get the races to put down their weapons and talk it out? Dude, dude! You are scaring the hell out of me with your purply-ness!

Yes, it’s a real word, Claire! No? Come on…some support here, Tommie? Well, dammit, Aila—I'll make it one!

Anthony, even if they were once allies, now they are enemies—how can you stop them from fighting?

yeah, yeah…that might work. Wow! Okay, Claire, that seems extreme! No, Damien, I don’t need you to show me how you’ll get them to submit.

Ah! What are you…AGHHH! MY ARM! Mercy! Mercy! Aila! Tommie! Someone help me!!

All right, yeah, I feel sorry for anyone who stands in a Guardian’s path. Who needs a boogeyman? If you do wrong, a Guardian will find you.

You didn’t have to pull on my arm so much, Damien!

No, I will not let you ‘test out a suplex’ on me! No, no-no-no! Ahh!! Looks like it’s a running day! Go away, Damien! I see you laughing, Tommie!
