When I opened my eyes again, the world was crisp and clear. I could sense the qi around me far better than I could ever remember, and my range had expanded considerably once again. My body seemed t...
2021-02-15 20:45:01 +0000 UTC View PostI paced up and down Rijoko’s shrine, my footsteps echoing in the silence. I had trouble keeping my gaze from the spot where Mother had just been.
There were a lot of emotions waging war ins...
2021-02-11 20:45:00 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: I finished this earlier than I thought, so I decided I might as well keep to my regular update schedule here, even if it's a little rough. There's still something of a cliffhanger at the e...
2021-02-08 20:45:00 +0000 UTC View PostNote: This interlude should actually be placed before the latest chapters. It takes place during the time chapter 100 covers. I'll post it to RR and SH on Monday, and probably the next regular ...
2021-02-07 14:20:32 +0000 UTC View PostCliffhanger alert. Don't say I didn't warn you.

I took my hands from my eyes and glanced around, trying not to gr...
2021-02-05 08:15:58 +0000 UTC View PostI smoothed down my robe and glanced at the mirror. I felt like I’d stepped back into an old, familiar role. One that I’d barely realized I’d gotten used to, before I stopped it, and which was...
2021-02-01 20:46:00 +0000 UTC View PostI found it a little scary that you could see the changes the war had brought to the Imperial capital from above. Thousand Lights City looked mostly the same, but not entirely. Factories had sprung ...
2021-01-28 20:45:59 +0000 UTC View PostTenira avoided me after that. I tried, but never managed to get her alone. She was always busy, either talking to someone or in a planning meeting with the others, not just myself. She didn’t mak...
2021-01-26 20:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostThis is the updated version, the core of the previous chapter 97.
When I turned around, I noticed that the two Adzurians were watching me. The man, leaning on the railing,...
2021-01-25 19:42:03 +0000 UTC View PostThis is the updated version, expanding on the beginning of the previous chapter 97.
I crouched down low, giving my technique less surface area to cover. It probably didn...
2021-01-25 19:41:54 +0000 UTC View PostHi folks,
I hope things are going well for you.
I've significantly revised and expanded Chapter 97, especially the beginning. There will now be a new Chapter 97, while most of the previ...
2021-01-25 19:33:17 +0000 UTC View PostIt took a while for things to settle down for us to start talking seriously. But after a few minutes, the ship was pulling away on a southern course, while Tenira, Kajare and me met in a small meet...
2021-01-21 20:45:00 +0000 UTC View PostI found it a little ironic that out of every time I’d been to the coast in the last year or so, this was the one that looked like what you’d imagine if you heard the word ‘beach’. The trees...
2021-01-18 20:45:59 +0000 UTC View Post“I suppose it was too much to hope for that we’d be able to complete our journey in peace and without being bothered by the Zarian,” I sighed.
Elia shrugged and gave me a wry smile. “...
2021-01-14 20:46:00 +0000 UTC View PostI hesitated for a moment, then circulated a trickle of qi to my eyes to get a better look at the fire. By now, it was clearly visible from here. People were starting to move away, and when I swept ...
2021-01-11 20:46:00 +0000 UTC View PostI stretched and felt my neck pop. It felt good to work out the kinks, even if my qi-strengthened body didn’t really need it. Even after a few hours of remaining more or less in the same position,...
2021-01-07 20:45:00 +0000 UTC View Post‘Is everything clear?’I asked.
‘Yes, Your Highness,’the guard answered, his visualized form in the dream nodding.
I would have preferred to talk directly to Te...
2021-01-04 20:45:01 +0000 UTC View PostA soft splash sounded, and I froze, hoping that it had gone unnoticed. None of the people I could see even glanced in my direction, so after waiting for a bit, I continued carefully pulling myself ...
2020-12-31 21:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I woke up, it was with a feeling of trying to struggle through morasses clinging to your consciousness. One that spelled trouble, waking from a sleep that was too deep. Especially since I wasn...
2020-12-28 20:45:59 +0000 UTC View PostI actually wrote this for my mom for Christmas to show what I was writing about, introduce the premise and characters. But I'll share it with you awesome patrons. I hope you like it. Obviously,...
2020-12-26 20:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHappy holidays! I hope you have a nice Christmas, if you celebrate it, or just a good day. Personally, I scheduled this hours in advance since I'll be busy celebrating Christmas Eve with my fam...
2020-12-24 20:45:01 +0000 UTC View PostCompared to the mountains towering on the horizon to the northwest, the ones we were flying amongst now seemed downright small. But they were still mountains, and the mix of altitudes as valleys an...
2020-12-21 20:46:00 +0000 UTC View PostSurreptitiously, I glanced at my watch. Almost an hour. We’d talked for longer than I’d thought. I returned it to my storage ring, frowning a little to myself. How long would it take for Hajake...
2020-12-17 20:46:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe landscape passing below our airship was interesting enough that I wished we could’ve traveled on the ground. While it was nice to see from an airship, I would’ve liked to be a little closer...
2020-12-14 20:45:01 +0000 UTC View Post“They’re all waiting on you, Inaris,” Tenira said.

2020-12-12 20:45:00 +0000 UTC View PostI couldn’t tell when we crossed the border. While I had the map perfectly stored in my memory, it didn’t show every detail, and the surroundings were too irregular to give me any real clue. I...
2020-12-09 20:45:59 +0000 UTC View PostHi folks, I hope you're all having a good day.
My buffer has almost shrunk to nothing and I think quality is going to suffer if I force myself to continue writing to keep up with my current s...
2020-12-09 19:58:27 +0000 UTC View PostOn first glance, the Earth Continent wasn’t much different from the Sky Continent. I hadn’t expected it to be, of course. I’d traveled to enough different continents on Earth to realize that ...
2020-12-07 20:46:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe first sign anything was wrong were the airships leaving the area around the capital. I expected to find some, most of them heading south. While I could see those, there were also several headin...
2020-12-04 20:45:59 +0000 UTC View PostThe airship braked hard, making me grab the railing to preserve my balance, then turned around. The sails of qi, translucent extensions of energy, flared for a moment before they vanished again as ...
