The Siege of Ponshu: Chapter 3

Chapter 3 We shinobi are notorious for being maddeningly slippery, both in our agility and wit. It’s this quickness and cunning that has brought our clans to the glorious ranks of petty messengers and couriers for the local lords; for the times have changed and the unending conflict between my kind and the Samurai warlords of old well…ended…long ago. I sometimes find myself bitter of being born into such a stagnant era, but now as I vault through the underbrush Eastward carrying news of the War God’s return, I feel something stirring the surface. Something forming ominous ripples that would threaten to awaken the sl

A Fog Over Wissen: Chapter 2

Chapter 2 The man jumps, flinching at the foreign voice speaking in his ear. His eyes snap open immediately and dart over across the bench at a shadowy silhouette seated beside him, veiled in the shade, out of the lamp’s reach. He gathers himself, straining his eyes at the dreary dark to recognize the figure that hadn’t been present only a moment earlier…or so he thought. “I must admit that I’ve never seen a madman or panhandler wearing cufflinks and an overcoat. But perhaps I have only yet to be proven wrong.” Her voice passes over him like velvet slowly slithering through his ears, a thick yet smooth Ge

The Siege of Ponshu: Chapter 2

Chapter 2 Gekidan, the War God they called me: the title has resounded in triumphant hymns of battle and terrified whispers for generations. I’m not proud of this name that I have been bestowed, however, and I am reluctant to claim my past to be a gilded one. I had never met my equal in countless battles, and every sunrise I would gaze upon the crimson glow climbing over the mountains and pray that it would herald the one who would finally bring me peace. Yet such an honor would never find me; a mere tool, a weapon wielded by the will of the Shogunate to quell petty uprisings and territorial disputes. Something was missing. And even as

A Fog Over Wissen: Chapter 1

Chapter 1 The city of Wissen rests within a thick, malefic fog tonight, moonlight casting a hazy gray glow upon the gothic towers looming above. The stone cobbled streets run slick with silence save for a whisper upon the chill of the wind, tickling one’s superstition and raising the hairs on the back of their neck. The path through the center of the city is lined with darkened buildings and punctuated with the wavering, dim illumination of streetlamps, dotting the way off into the unseen distance. The mausoleums would covet such stillness that has descended upon Wissen tonight, a stagnant haunt that clings to the coattails of the fear

The Siege of Ponshu: Chapter 1

The Siege of Ponshü Chapter 1 Ponshü Keep has fallen. Once its impregnable walls held strong against the pounding fists of foreign legions, but now there remained nothing within that womb of scorched stone but the decrepit, blackened skeleton of a once grand estate. Billowing smoke and ash bled forth from the remains, unveiling the corpses of a thousand men, scattered and incinerated across the horrific warpath that only slithered deeper into the splintered and charred domain. I observe this aftermath with terrified, and fantastic bafflement from afar; never had I seen such devastation, such disregard for establishment and human l

A Rather Rude Transition

To anyone who may still be following this page for personal reasons I have moved to posting work to Tumblr. Sorry for being so long without any new work, just trying to find a right fit. Thanks! Cap captainborislightning.tumblr.com

Hey anyone following my work or simply passing through, I'd like to thank you all for the positive feedback, it's shockingly uplifting. c: Anyway, up till now I've been in the process of uploading the contents of my old art portfolio which is great, but time has caught up with me. So I actually get to upload things that I've done recently, or am currently working on! This will consist of everything from sketches, to new works, to full-scale projects...maaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAYBE some writing if I'm feeling confident. I'm going to try and upload something new maybe once every other day, for matters of getting work done in between And you know...othe

Pretentiousness aside, I'd like to update my plans for the page. I'd like to upload two pieces a day until I can get through my older works Then, along with whatever I'm currently working on, I might throw out some writing I've dabbled in, if anyone wants to read it. Thanks everyone, Captain out.
