** Beatrice nu Kahranna initially comes across as a cold military leader with NoSympathy over the refugees in Cessair (because it is her job as a Valkyrie to collect the souls of the dead) and a hardline stance against Alice Sitchri. When pressed about it, Kahranna admits that she thinks Alice is responsible for the Valkyries' inability to take the souls of the dead in places where she shows up. The reason she wanted war with Skuurnur was so she could determine if these isolated incidents weren't emblematic of a ''species-wide extinction event'' (implying that a Valkyrie who can't collect souls defeats the purpose of being a Valkyrie).

''Eclipse'' is an original story authored by Serocco and published on FictionPress. Set in a vaguely UrbanFantasy scenario, the world as we know it is run by practitioners of Augury, a form of {{Magitek}} that utilizes the power of the elements, the innovation of technology, and the mystique of magic all in one package.
The majority of mankind appears to be Aura Users, in that they channel their innate energy (ala Aura) into Augury-based tech or manifest their auras in spectacular ways. ''Eclipse'' chronicles the story of Alice Sitchri, a Succubus who seems to be either loathed or feared by the majority of the population of the world and beyond.
Not to be confused with the Literature/{{Twilight}} book with the same name, nor does it have anything to do with TabletopGames/EclipsePhase. [[https://www.fictionpress.com/s/3171776/1/Eclipse Here is the first chapter]].

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: At the end of the first chapter, Draldoch attacks the girls because they were using weapons powered by Aura (in reality, Kyrie is the only Huntress of the two).

* MixAndMatchCritters: Zoans seem to be amalgamations of various other animals. For example, there was a nameless Zoan (killed by Kyrie) who had the head of an ox and spiders for hands. Draldoch, by contrast, is a bipedal velociraptor with grasshopper legs and a crocodile snout.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: At the end of the first chapter, Draldoch attacks the girls because they were using weapons powered by Aura (in reality, Kyrie is the only Huntress of the two). He ends up wrecking a large chunk of his city ''anyway'', which Alice addresses at the end of chapter two. When he gets the chance too look at what happened to his city post-brawl, this was his response:
-->'''Draldoch''': [[DeadpanSnarker Well, shit]].
* UrbanFantasy: Aesthetically speaking, at least.
* UrbanWarfare: The second half of ''Urban Upheaval'' (chapter eight) switches to this format. Surprisingly, the nameless grunts actually end up doing some pretty significant work, at least compared to most {{Red Shirt}}s elsewhere.
* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: One of the more... dramatic cases, really. We start off with a bartender who - while dangerous - was not much of a match in the end for our heroine. Our next major villain, Eighinn Stossuhl, [[spoiler:annihilated an entire city, eradicated their government, and systematically picked apart the main supporting cast to that point.]] ''Whoa'', that was quick.
* StarterVillain: Escou Draldoch, the bartender in the first two chapters. He's fairly tough on his own, but he's removed fairly easily by both heroines (although Kyrie had some trouble).
* WhamLine: At the very end of chapter seven, when the major conflict of the day is resolved, we get two ''very'' surprising words uttered by what was basically a side character up to this point.
-->'''Eighinn Stossuhl''': [[spoiler:Open fire.]]
