My only experience with dates is seeing couples hold hands during Christmas back home. There were also vague memories of my checking places out of a school magazine with a rather impish young woman. I didn’t recall her name, but I had a vague feeling that I had a so...

The Hero Faction in its full might was something to behold.
According to Sheridan and mom, though, they were a terrifying piece of work. They were a bunch of humans that had real power in their hands in the form of Sacred Gears and magic, and they used that power to do whatever they...
