The Third Portal: Chapter Sixty-Three

A few days after the celebration that Elio had held for everyone that had participated in the defense of Crysite, I sat at a table with Mead

The Restored: Chapter Thirty-One

Kelly and Jin watched from the windows of the airship that they had boarded as Alyphize rose into the air on a current of red light, and they exchanged a shocked look. They’d been mainly scanning...

The Restored: Chapter Thirty

I whirled and whipped my blades up around me, prepared to try and have to work on both combat and on powering this vast drain on my aura. It would be tough, but–

An old woman, wearing ragge...

The Third Portal: Chapter Sixty-Two

Elio, the Terminarch, the last member of the rare, mutated breed that was the gemstone dragons, slammed into the earth in front of the wave. Instead of Edgar and Idyll, the wave struck glowing, mul...

The Third Portal: Chapter Sixty-One

I appeared right in front of the gray haired man with the cube, my fist lashing out at his head. At the same time, I cast Fungal Lock, Enhance Forging, and drew on the ninelight morels to amplify t...

The Third Portal: Chapter Sixty

“Take hold of my tail,” Edgar instructed.  Not wanting to waste time, given that I’d already spent minutes fetching Edgar, I teleported behi

The Restored: Chapter Twenty-Nine

I spun and brought my blade through the neck of a four foot tall, swan-winged and nine-handed, and it exploded into a mess of soulstuff. 

The demons that were flooding through the city w...

The Restored: Chapter Twenty-Eight

I erupted out onto the street, then continued floating upwards in the air, but something was wrong. Very, very wrong. 

I had three recharges, one from touching metal, the one granted to ...

The Third Portal: Chapter Fifty-Nine

No vote this week, I'm afraid.

I looked at Dusk, and she panted, saying Idyll had managed to reach out to her after they’d come through the portal, and she’d com...

The Third Portal: Chapter Fifty-Eight

This time, I didn’t follow the trace of my eyes, but rather an instinct of my own mana senses and nascent truths. Perhaps I was being guided by the wind of fortune and resolve both, I wasn’t su...

The Third Portal: Chapter Fifty-Seven

The power continued flowing from the sky. 

Perfect advancement. 

I didn’t know how long it would last. This high up in the air, on the edge of space, Internal Pocketwatch wa...

The Restored: Chapter Twenty-Seven

Alyphyize lashed out, blurring with movement fast enough that a human’s eyes would have thought she teleported, but the Contractor spun his hands down, and his magic bound her hands to the ground...

The Restored: Chapter Twenty-Six

Not sure I'll be able to get a chapter out tomorrow as a heads up. I'm still settling in after moving.

Alyphize walked down the street in the directi...

The Third Portal: Chapter Fifty-Six

It didn’t take too terribly long for me to fill Kene in on the fight, and by the end, he was shaking his head.

“That cut it pretty close to the edge,” they said. “I think you should h...

The Third Portal: Chapter Fifty-Five

I left a Material Echo behind me, teleported behind it, left an illusion, and teleported again. I cast Mold Aura, whipping my presence around, and cast Foxfyre, leaving a Captured Moment in each on...

The Third Portal: Chapter Fifty-Four

I crept towards the frozen pitcher plants, drawing a knife from Dusk’s realm. I wiggled it back and forth along the long, thin vines of the icy blue and white surface, slowly working the plant fr...

The Restored: Chapter Twenty-Five

Precision casting was difficult. I’d never been the best at shaping the super fine details of metals. I could manipulate metallic threads into general shapes well enough, but the stitching was he...

The Restored: Chapter Twenty-Four

Hadiya Abbas was, without a doubt, one of the best ritual mages she knew. 

That wasn’t arrogance, it was cold hard facts.

She wasn’t going to say that she was the single best w...

Quick Update / Heads Up

I've mentioned a few times now that I'm in the process of moving cross-country, a large part of which involves basically three days of driving, with little to no time to write. Even when I'm not do...

The Third Portal: Chapter Fifty-Three

I reacted first, leaping away from the exploding stone and freezing myself in mid-air using an Immovable Lock spell. I used Foxswap to transport Kene into Dusk’s realm, exchanging him with a larg...

The Third Portal: Chapter Fifty-Two

The day after Dusk and Dawn were up and moving, Kene’s grandmother finally awoke, which I knew because I found her perched like a gargoyle at the end of our bed that morning. 

I jerked...

The Third Portal: Chapter Fifty-One

Meadow, Kene, and I bantered a few names back and forth, before Kene suggested someone that surprised me. 

“What about that forest dragon? The one whose mom we worked with for the mant...

The Restored: Chapter Twenty-Three

I commented this a while ago in an update, but as a reminder: I am in the process of moving. Please bear with me and be patient, especially from the 21st to the 2nd!
