The Wolf and The Dragon (Book 1)

The March of the Oni

Alert: Session 10 spoilers!

[Ruby]

Life carried on after the Day of the Departed. I keep myself busy at the hospital. Iva has finally gone home, and she recovering well, what is good, but that means I don't see her or Flynn and missed them.

I come to realise how much Harumi's death has affected me. During the 10 days that I looked after her in the hospital, my entire life was all about saving her and trying to find a way to heal her. All my searches and readings have now become pointless.

Maybe all this Lupa stuff is just something I was trying to believe in a hope I would make the difference for her. And it hurts to think that was all in vain, despite that she told me otherwise.

Now, I am questioning everything, why should I even learned more about the Dragon or even consider awakening him, if only I could find Mistake, or maybe this other immortal being, they would be able to help me, I am feeling powerless.

I received a call from a state agency, I had my parent's house put for sale quite a while ago, and appears after so long, I finally have someone interested in buying.

I decided it was time to take a break, I take a few weeks on annual leave, and drive all the way to Moridunum. It is a cold day, the end of the autumn, soon it will be my birthday, at least the day my parents used to celebrate with me. Would be nice to spend some time by myself in the only place I still feel like home.

The house has been closed for so long now, I realised it is really in need of some TLC, I head to my local DIY and do a big shopping, from painting to new floors, I decided to do all myself, and get my hands really dirty with something else than blood.

---The March of the Oni---

Hello readers,

I am sorry if I upset some of you letting Harumi die, I have plans to have one maybe more chapter with her in the future (of the story).

I was happy to see Lloyd moving on session 10, and the moment he meets with his grandfather, the First Spinjitsu Master was very emotional and was from there that I took the idea of the Chapters 23 onwards:

EVERY ENDING IS ALWAYS A NEW BEGINNING

Well, I have no intention to add spoilers, I watched and decided I can fit it in between my story without affecting the plot I have in mind.

My OCs were either out of town, Ruby for instance, or unaffected by the events, or saved... anyhow, the only thing I would like to point out is that my story kind of explain how/why Cole survives the fall. OPS! Spoilers!

Talking about Cole, he will be here quite a bit in the next few chapters, as Ruby will distance herself to give Lloyd a chance to heal. Instead of just time skip, I will bring a bit of the others around to, and if you like JAYA or KAILOR, check out my other 2 books, specific about then.

I hope you still enjoy reading the story as much as I am enjoying to write.
