... have victory?" So Sareena asked Ashrah when they first met. And that pretty much answers the question xD

(Okay, she does have a sense of honour somewhat, but that's a subject for another day.)

#NetherTouchedSareena

I could go on and talk about the cast as a whole because, as you can probably🧵

... depends on her contract, huh? šŸ™‚ Generally speaking, she won't eat outside, not by herself. She might grab a quick hot dog or sweet, though, if she feels like getting some distraction.

In #WorldWithoutLove, Briaca is eating at a fancy restaurant—some habits die hard 🧵

I've finished writing the Sareena/Sonya Kinktober short story but still need to edit it, which I may or may not do this week. Here's another sneak peek:

#NetherTouchedSareena #QueerWriters

Licking her lower lip, Sareena trailed her claws over toned abs until her hand slipped inside the folds of the robe to find her prize. She fondled and stroked Sonya’s breast before pinching and squeezing a stiff nipple harder and harder, watching carefully to see if pleasure would turn into pain—but it didn’t, and Sareena relished the small whimper that came out of the monk’s throat when she sat up and teased the other nipple in her mouth.

At the same time, Sonya dexterously untied Sareena’s shirt, pulled it over her head, and tossed it aside. Breathing heavier than she did when kicking those practice targets, the monk studied Sareena’s naked chest, and part of Sareena wanted to conceal all the scars and poorly healed wounds. But she didn’t, neither with jokes nor magic, for she had grown tired of wearing all her masks.

Besides, from the way Sonya traced the jagged lines and curves, sending shockwaves down Sareena’s stomach, she very much enjoyed the sight.

ā€œI guess you have plenty of experience with demons.ā€

ā€œYou could say that.ā€

Mischief twinkled in the monk’s hazel eyes. ā€œTell me, then, what’s the best way to kill a devil?ā€
@sayaashrah.bsky.socialOct 6, 2026, 10:15 PM

... force adaptation. And she's good at that, too. No matter what, she keeps fighting.

Sareena has scraps of ideas here and there, but for the most part, she wields improvisation as a weapon.

Nitara, also a leader, prefers to have a solid plan before her as well. Unlike 🧵

While she does like the house, her true home is the Vermilion Star, her aerial ship, alongside her crew. The mansion can feel... stifling.

For the past few Pulses, Sareena has been living in Skuhvrs alongside the other members of the Covenant of Shadows. As one of 🧵

Li Mei has that joyful, vibrant laugh that makes it seem as if all your burdens just disappeared.

Mileena has one of the most genuine and heartfelt smiles you could ever see 🧵

... steamy hate-fuck with a hot lady—there's a reason that her Kinktober prompt with Sonya is "rough sex" šŸ˜…

#WIPSnips 30. "Guard"

Ashrah doesn't approve of the Monkey Style.

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms #SayaAshrah #NetherTouchedSareena #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters

ā€œI sense doubt in you.ā€

It is just that not all Nether-Touched succumb to the temptations of the Abyss.

ā€œOh, this one has, trust me. I can feel it irradiating in every metallic fibre of my being.ā€

The Nether-Touched wrapped the chains of her sickle around a tree and swung across the clearing, kicking a marrkal in the face before falling onto her back and rolling away from another’s sting. Rather than retaliate while the demon had its guard open, the Nether-Touched sat on her haunches, knuckles against the ground, and hooted like marrkals themselves did.

Losing what wits it had left to outrage, the marrkal flailed claws and tail at the Nether-Touched, who laughed as she dodged one impalement after another. Whether with illusions or with that outlandish way of moving, she never faced them head-on. Cowardice, too, was a sign of corruption.

... her meditation/Bagua training. But yes, she does get better at it thanks to this same training.

Sareena can be patient to the point of lethargy. There's one critical point in EF when she's not patient, but other than that and in future situations in similar contexts 🧵

Ashrah: Never achieving her freedom.

Nitara: Failing to protect those she loves.

Sareena: Realising she truly is what she believes she is (vague because spoilers).

#WIPSnips 29. "Well"

Lots of "well" in the story, but only one true "Well."

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms #NetherTouchedSareena #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters

She fell, but that didn’t stop her either: ignoring the pain of scraped knees and elbows, she scrambled to her feet, the tentacle squiggling in her grip, and kept running.

As the Well of Lamentation came into view, relief gave her another push when A’zeena, Gvorran, and two other Nether-Touched she didn’t know came out of hiding, tools in hand, and though they hesitated upon seeing the pursuing wraiths and ksa’rra, A’zeena urged them forward to form a protective barrier.

Unable to slow down, Sareena crashed against the Well, the tentacle flying from her hand and into the water. If she thought the River Isa’anr was dark, the… substance inside the Well was the purest black. The tentacle didn’t sink so much as was swallowed with an audible glub that made her shiver and swear she’d never bathe in those waters again.

... let's just say she sees herself in a very poor light, indeed, and she considers that the truth.

#WIPSnips 28. "Prime"

Another day, another fight²

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms #SayaAshrah #NetherTouchedSareena #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters

Ashrah jumped to her feet and thrust. Lizkhy beat her wings, evading Datusha and slamming Sareena against a mass of solid ice. Disencumbered of the Nether-Touched, the balor sliced and flailed. Sareena avoided the dagger, but her low, misleading stance did not deceive the whip that etched a crimson, ragged gash on her cheek.

Breathing a wall of fire between her and Sareena, Lizkhy whipped around to face her prime opponent, dagger flashing. Ashrah ducked under the short weapon, jabbed. Lizkhy drew aside and was forced to remain on the defensive as Datusha chased her in a series of slashes that hewed sparks out of the smaller blade until the balor stepped to the side and shouldered Ashrah.

A blur from above. Ashrah eluded claws that set the freezing air on fire, then whirled as the wind cracked, flying above the whip, and as she came back down, she slid on the ice, avoiding the thorny ribbon again and slashing at Lizkhy’s unarmoured calf.

ā€œAaaah, how I missed the taste of a balor’s alarun!ā€ Datusha enthused.

It will likely surprise you. Both for better and for worse.

Nitara is a lemon pie with very little sugar. This may sound unappetising, and it certainly won't be for everyone, but you'll be surprised by the rich flavour and freshness it has.

Sareena: She learnt after leaving Arak'shiir, same as Ashrah, but she doesn't share her sister's appreciation of swimming and would much rather remain on dry land, thank you. (No, she's not scared of water, of course not!)

#NetherTouchedSareena

@sayaashrah.bsky.socialSep 26, 2026, 10:26 PM

... or following her sister in some other activity (she's Ashrah's official food tester), lazing about, sculpting her figurines, or going out. She's not a big fan of staying indoors.

#AwesomeCharacters Ashrah and Sareena would watch a lot of horror films across all subgenres! Haunted houses is something they'd enjoy exploring too... you know, I should write a short story based on this premise.

Ashrah would also try 🧵

Sareena kills a honest worker.

CW for gore.

She gripped the handle of her pickaxe, and when the demon heard her and was about to turn around, she buried the pointy end in its back.

Screeching, the oni whirled around, dragging Sareena with it and bashing her into the wall. Lungs burning, she saw, out of the corner of her eye, the demon raising its pickaxe. She rolled out of the way, her injured shoulder crying out in protest, then slashed, getting the sharp tip stuck in the oni’s stomach.

Claws sought her face as alarun dripped from the oni’s broad nose and splashed onto her rags. Unable to let go of the pickaxe because of the chains, Sareena pulled and pulled, straining her neck out of the fiend’s reach. Screaming in rage, she yanked with as much strength as she could muster. It ripped the oni’s stomach open, and she tumbled over its spilling entrails.

If it's Sareena, all bets are off. I have no idea whether I should feel comforted or plead for my life.

A smile from Askaly, in this context, would be less comforting than one of her normal smiles. She is... creative, and that creativity can 🧵

... her ego, and her peculiar way of speaking and seeing things.

Sareena makes the impression she wants to. She adjusts to the person and situation.

#NetherTouchedSareena

For Nitara... well, she'd certainly make a strong impression on me, and I know I'm not alone šŸ˜… Overall, people see her as 🧵
