"I wonder if there's someone just like me beyond those enemy lines, waiting to return home. I wonder if he has a mother and sister waiting for him, if he wants to dress in civilian clothes once again and live his life without the horrors of war."
Crathenia is at war against the Itramian Order, a militia that plans to create an independent state for the Itramians residing in Eastern Crathenia, known as Verethen to them.
After losing her only home, Elderfield Orphanage, to a Crathenian raid, thirteen-year-old Rina was forced to fend off assassins and survive on the streets. After being found by some Itramian smugglers, she was taken to a black market and started to work there as she grew up. However, her hatred for Crathenians never faded, for she still remembered all the things that they had put her through.
Several years later, in the Crathenian capital, eighteen-year-old Damian Harper was conscripted into the army, where he met several soldiers who had lost their loved ones to the Itramian Order, convincing them to fight. When he was discovered to be a fluent Itramian speaker, he was immediately sent by his general to spy on the Order. However, he ended up discovering that the war was, in fact, partly orchestrated by a forgotten political entity.
When the two cross paths, they discovered a fact that almost no one has ever acknowledged: that both Crathenians and Itramians are equally human.

"No Life 'Til Leather"
Sometimes shit happens. Hey, it's not always your day, it's alright. One moment you're riding high, soaring above these mud-riddled plains with the king of mercs by your side, another, you're running far away from the crater he blew himself up in. You've really outdone yourself this time. W's dead, there's angel blood on your fingers and something itches to grow out of your skull. To pierce those gray curls of yours and bask in the twin moon's soft gaze. Something brewing deep within, eager to dim that halo forever and shatter your wings. A piece of you that's always been there, always hiding and growling, waiting for its moment to shine. So, hit the lights, Andy. Give it some stage time. Let yourself live a little. Throw out that Lateran jacket, put on some leather. Grow a pair of horns, befriend a fiend. Forget Laterano, forget Lungmen. Kazdel is your new home. And your new home's where you rightfully belong, you little rascal. Hellooooo people !! Here we are, a SPIN-OFF story of my "Curly Head" series, in which Andy actually went on that one job he previously ditched and got himself into quite a predicament. In this one, I'll turn the angst-meter down, I promise. W and Andy, happy times. :D This is, of course, perfectly fine as a standalone work, I think, but if you're new and wanna brush up on the lore then you can do just that! Series starts with "Goodbye Curly Head", rest is pretty straightforward. Summed up: thirteen year old boy from Laterano ships himself off to fight in the Kazdel Civil War for peacekeeping reasons, situation turns to shit at the end of his tour, forced to stay in Kazdel and make money as a merc, meets up the first W's crew at the age of sixteen, circus-slapstick follows. Ps: I'm not giving up on "Almost Green", only taking a small break and also delivering some much needed fluff-ish stuff. Tell me you thoughts in the comments, I tend to reply to every single one of them and love reading through them all! Have fun!Complete

As an awkward teenager plagued by panic attacks who dabbles in comedy, Demalynn just wants to go home to be re-united with her family. Citizens over thirty grow old and are forced to mine the mineral that powers giant cooling stations to keep the planet habitable. Citizens solve disputes with gladiatorial combat.
