Call of the Void chapter 19
After reincarnating Brad, we descended into the pit with no issue. The spikes had all vanished, and the whole place just felt…empty. Which was an odd thought to have about a hole in the ground, b...
2025-12-30 04:04:01 +0000 UTC View PostArriving at the pit wasn’t hard. The orangutans had, I suspected, been sent to bring us there directly after we’d spent hours mapping things out. The pit had become hungry, and was tired of wai...
2025-12-26 19:24:46 +0000 UTC View Post“You know, you scare me,” I said to Dayna conversationally as I stared up at the giant bronze lantern fish pinned to a large nearby tree. This was the third time I’d felt the need to mention ...
2025-12-26 03:44:25 +0000 UTC View PostDespite the unhappiness, they DID leave most of their forces inside my Domain. Dayna and I stepped out with the two leaders (Renier and Edward, or blue and red respectively) into the castle proper....
2025-12-25 01:49:22 +0000 UTC View PostNo one was amused by my banter, sadly. Their weapons all came up (spears mostly, but made of a weird hooked crystal with an energy sphere floating inside the hook) and they levelled them at me poin...
2025-12-24 03:35:24 +0000 UTC View PostThe first thing I noticed about the Void was the power. Not like it gave me strength or anything like that. It just returned what so many places in realspace had taken. The Void wasn’t a place, n...
2025-12-23 03:24:07 +0000 UTC View PostI stood among my people. That was really the only way to describe it. I wasn’t feeling particularly noble or leaderly at the moment though, just…safe. I was with family. I was loved. And it was...
2025-12-19 22:27:33 +0000 UTC View PostI was a long night, and by the time I dragged myself off to bed, my head was ringing with the endless waves of congratulations, ass kissing, and doubletalk. But I still found time (with the help of...
2025-12-19 03:16:28 +0000 UTC View PostChanges. That was the first thing I noticed. Not just the recent ones, but all the changes I’d gone through. It had been years now, since I started this journey, and in those years, I’d changed...
2025-12-18 02:11:48 +0000 UTC View PostWe headed to the terminal to make our way to the back palace. Instead of heading to the same place as the sword dance symposium though, we made our way through the hallways until we got to an unass...
2025-12-17 02:58:27 +0000 UTC View PostThe next morning came with a surprising lack of pomp OR circumstance. I woke up, rolled out of bed, and then just kind of…sat there. Today was the day. My coronation. My ascension to Wishmaster.&...
2025-12-16 02:48:26 +0000 UTC View PostAfter I finished talking to the old man, I went home and went to bed. I was…so exhausted. The kind of exhausted where you actually pass tired and loop back around to be being energetic, only with...
2025-12-12 20:03:30 +0000 UTC View PostPower. A recurring theme in my life for the last few years. More than any other, honestly. Love, family, choice, I’d grappled with some heavy things in my time as an Ascendant. But power was perh...
2025-12-12 01:07:26 +0000 UTC View PostExtending my Domain inside the core turned out to be effortless. I’d half expected to run into trouble, given the weird interactions between Domains and the Void. The old man told me I was a moro...
2025-12-11 02:29:53 +0000 UTC View PostWe emerged from the portal back out of the council chamber, into the same hallway we’d entered from. The council was waiting for us. As were my parents, my grandparents, and several other people,...
