The Effaced: Chapter Twenty-Eight

“Alyphize is a Demonic Heir.” I told Haidya, before turning to Kelly and asking him a question.

“How much do you know about Demonic Thrones?” 

“There are eleven and the r...

The Third Gate: Chapter Thirty-One

When we arrived at where Dusk had been digging, I noticed something a bit strange. 

“Why is Dusk’s… Primes, there’s no way to say this and it not sound weird. But why – how –...

On the boat, what does Malachi train?

He's got a few days on the boat before he gets home, so what is he going to focus on training?

The Third Gate: Chapter Thirty

As it turned out, setting up a permanent teleportation platform in a random park was strictly against city law, which was… Frankly, completely reasonable. It sucked a bit to have to take it down,...

The Third Gate: Chapter Twenty-Nine

I flicked my fingers and reached into Dusk’s realm, summoning a pen into my hand. A few days before, I’d knocked a pen behind a desk, and I hadn’t put it back because now I remembered knockin...

The Effaced: Chapter Twenty-Seven

As Hadiya and I floated through the skylanes and moved towards where we’d left the automobile, I worked on my wounds. 

I wasn’t a doctor or even a field nurse, but I’d had to learn...

The Effaced: Chapter Twenty-Six

The Arenamaster rounded the corner of the far end of the hall, about twenty paces behind Fake-Mist. She had a glowing red orb over one shoulder, and flows of red and blue light were streaming into,...

Quick, and Large, Update!

Hey, hopefully this should be nothing, but there's a ton of severe weather where I live, and it's caused me to have to evacuate. I've got a hotel, and I should be okay, as well as my family, but ru...

The Effaced: Chapter Twenty-Five

As the explosion rocked the hall and Hadiya and I were thrown to the ground, I immediately started shaping my aura around me, but while I was fast, I wasn’t fast enough to outpace an explosion. S...

The Third Gate: Chapter Twenty-Eight

The next several days passed peacefully enough. I fed mana into Dawn each day, and she was slowly growing stronger. Dusk took a shine to her sister, and often fed the little dragon some of her own ...

Vote Number Two

Does Dawn accept the feeling of trust and companionship with Dusk and Malachi? Or does she take Octavian up on his offer to sever their bond?

Vote Numer One And A Voting Update!

While there are a few major votes that are still yet to come, like the focus(es) that Malachi is going to take his death gate, which of the three sepulchers they're going to dive first, and that so...

The Third Gate: Chapter Twenty-Seven

It took us the better part of an hour to completely regroup, and to my surprise, the last one that we were able to find was Meadow. She was standing over the bog, leaning on her staff, gazing into ...

The Third Gate: Chapter Twenty-Six

I focused and extended a tendril of spatial mana into the spirit dragon, then reached within me to where I could still feel the last empty space that needed to be filled. I channeled it through the...

The Effaced: Chapter Twenty-Four

“I’m booooooorrrrrrreeeeeeeddddddd,” Kelly whined, flopping his head against the pillow of the chair. 

He had really expected that staying in a magical laboratory full of experimen...

The Effaced: Chapter Twenty-Three

The White Rooms territory looked like any other part of the undercity, at least at first. The moment the White Rooms themselves appeared, it became obvious. 

I wasn’t sure how White Li...

The Third Gate: Chapter Twenty-Five

So, I wouldn’t normally do this, but this is an instance where the vote was tied, and in those cases, I like to try and roll for the distinct result, but include something of the oth...
