The Twin Trials: Chapter Forty-Seven

I appeared in front of a stone building, and glanced around. Neither Araceli nor Mallory had been teleported in with me, so this must be one of the solo challenges.

There were a few things of...

I don't know what to put in the titles of these anymore to be honest, but hey, here we go, professionalisim go 'wheeee'

The Twin Trials: Chapter Forty-Six

Mallory’s claws forged around her hand, Araceli’s throat began to glow with light, and I let briars and bones burst from my spirit.

The monsters surged forward, and the eye focused on us,...

The Twin Trials: Chapter Forty-Four

“Primes,” Mallory said, shrugging. “Why not? I was preparing for the third floor when the sky exploded, so I figure there has to be a chance at a growth item.” 

“And it’s not...

The Archmage: Chapter Nineteen

It didn’t take long for her to be ready to mentor me after that. Tara and Osheen had to leave the room, and with a promise of mutual safety, the wards were lowered. I brought out some blank paper...

The Archmage: Chapter Eighteen

I split my Sunday between spending time with Osheen, and spending time working on a bribe-gift for Oberon. 

Osheen and I made an excellent breakfast, got some exercise in, and complained...

The Archmage: Chapter Seventeen

Since I had six months, give or take two weeks, the following morning, Osheen and I went out to eat for breakfast. I had soft poached eggs on toast with a bit of lemon dressed arugula, while Osheen...

The Archmage: Chapter Sixteen

Eventually, my office hours came to a close, and I headed up the stairs to the old summoning circle. 

Tara and Osheen were already there, powering up the wards, and I tossed my whisperin...

Behold! The Vote-inator!

The Twin Trials: Chapter Forty-Three

I woke up on sand, and pulled myself to my feet, glancing around. I hadn’t even remembered passing out, but here I was. 

Speaking of here… Where was I? 

There was a beach ...

The Twin Trials: Chapter Forty-Three

Orykson froze as he felt the planar membrane of the world crack at the very edges of his territory, and Aerde began to accelerate their way through the data as quickly as possible. 

Some...

The Twin Trials: Chapter Forty-One

I wasn’t out for too long, but when I did awaken, I felt… Amazing. My strength had surged in a way that it never had before. This had to be what it would have been like to take a Fundament Foun...

The Twin Trials: Chapter Forty

“We have two, arguably three, plant mages,” I mused. “Green and warm sounds kind of plant-y or jungle-y. 

“I don’t think plant-y is a word,” Kene mused. “But I agree for su...

The Archmage: Chapter Fifteen

Throwing myself into teaching for a week after discovering my miracle cure might not have been quite as miraculous as it seemed felt incredibly strange. Still, I did the best I could, going through...

The Archmage: Chapter Fourteen

Tara, Osheen, Oracle, Bridgette, and I sat at a table that held a large sheet of butcher’s paper and a plate of metal. 

“There are two problems,” Tara said. “Power and functions....

They say that life out in the free towns is hard. Those hard times create strong people. Strong people creat...

The Archmage: Chapter Thirteen

I let out a long, tired sigh as I picked at the barley and mushroom soup that I’d picked up for lunch. My general witchcraft courses had gone well enough, I thought. It was still far too early to...

The Archmage: Chapter Twelve

With the meetings finished, Osheen and I spent a few days drafting our lesson plans for our classes. 

I had two main classes I’d be teaching this year, novice witchcraft and novice enc...

“You didn’t think that all of the challenges would be illusions, did you?” the asomatous possessing Travis’ body asked, a dark chuckle burbling out of his lips. “Oh no. The sage was wise....

The Twin Trials: Chapter Thirty-Nine

There was a slow drumming noise as the gate opening, which began to rapidly increase in tempo, until it was cut by a loud trumpet sound. 

A lion emerged from the gate, tempest mana swirl...

The Twin Trials: Chapter Thirty-Eight

“Why not?” Kene said with a shrug. “It would give us three effective skips. That should let us get through most of the more time consuming challenges.” 

We spent the evening roas...

The Archmage: Chapter Eleven

As much as I’d enjoyed my summer with Aldvarri and Osheen, it was also quite nice to get back to living within the confines of Yesgol. It was beginning to feel almost like a second home, though I...

The Archmage: Chapter Ten

After managing to kill a near-archmage who’d been keeping me prisoner, ascending to become an archmage myself, and discovering a star that even the Ligature said they only thought might – might...

The Archmage: Chapter Nine

Might…

Might.

Might! 

I wouldn’t accept dying on a might. I couldn’t accept dying a failure. I wouldn’t die so close to being able to accomplish my goals. 

Release Alert!

Book three of the Journals of Evan Tailor is out now! It's a queer sword and sorcery progression fantasy story, with a slightly darker world and tone.

The Archmage: Intermission (Osheen)

Osheen paced up and down the classroom in front of Tara, shaking his head. 

“We have to go after him.” 

“I agree,” Tara said. “But they’ve been leaving either Edwa...

The Twin Trials: Chapter Thirty-Six
