[Exalted] For The Sake of the Ash - A Demon-blooded Quest

Reader mode
[X] Find the trail yourself. You have inherited Biryu's (who is also Sondok) Guardian-Beast's Pursuit. Biryu (who is also Sondok) hunts down trespassers over his mistress dominion. This inheritance makes you more perceptive and capable of great feats of investigation, but also gives you an air of savagery that men find disquieting.

I'm not interested in having our speech be callous and harsh when we don't mean it to be.
 
I am most pleased this has returned.

That being said, I would say we should

No need to leave a trail of bodies behind us, although I am pretty curious how the villagers would react to our actual objective.

Given that they were singing "Ding, dong, the witch is dead" from the Wizard of Oz movie, I'm going to go out on a limb and say 'probably not that well'.

Roots-among-Ash wasn't a very good person on an objective level.

Specifically our intention to get ourselves horribly killed against their hero's invincible might.

I feel like they might be in favor!
 
Okay it looks like the vote is a landslide, so let's get to writing. Hopefully will not take me three months again.

In the meantime:
 
I've had this tab open since the 1st of March, but this is the first time I've actually set aside the time to sit down and read it. I know the vote's been closed for months, but it's more for my peace of mind, really... and to show that the story still has readers.

Besides, if I got to it after half a year, nothing says the author couldn't! :V

Either a dot is missing, or an erroneous capitalization.

Talismans against sorcery gone from the doors of the slanted-roofed houses; offerings given to the East, where the sun is to raise; effigies of a witch hastily corded together and stacked not far away from great bonfires around which the villagers gather.

"rise"?

Because servants die for their masters, and such is the rule of the made world. And so you must die for Roots-Among-Ash, and receive death from the same hand that slew her. Such is necessity.

Zenith has already refused to kill you once. What makes you think you next meeting is going to be different? To force her hand you'd have to do more than simply threaten her.

[x] Force it out of them. You have inherited Sondok's Midnight Warden Voice. Your speech is iron and fire, and promises devastation to those who disobey it. This inheritance makes you better at intimidation and command, but also imbues your speech with callousness and harshness of Sondok.

I myself have just found this and though the poll has been closed for almost a year ish I have hope that one day this shall return and I too wish for you to know that we as readers are still here and exist "Oh Author Mine."
