Fun fact: Slipsharks, low level magical creatures that have a mana composite of Physical, Lunar, with tinges of Life, Tempest, and other smaller aspects, are NOT my creations!

Major Moving Forwards Update

So, as some of you may know, I currently have two family members in the hospital, both sedated. I've gone to visit some family, leaving me with some time off work. Given they're sedated, I haven't ...

Future Growth

So! Starting next week (The 26th), I am officially pledging that I am going to do my best to upload two chapters every week.

Now, why would this need a poll?

Simple! I'd love to find...

Paths of Life Magic

Now, as Meadow said multiple times in this, this is not the end all, be all of choices, but it is important. The path that you all pick will have a big impact on his abilities, and synergy with oth...

This chapter is a bit short, but it's got a pretty big choice at the end, so I didn't want to skim over that.

Meadow arrived bright and early the following morning, and when I opened the door to greet her, she frowned and leaned on her weathered old walking stick.

“I see you’ve had your first tra...

Chaos? Yes or No

Basically, I'm hella hyped for the next two chapters, since it's one of the biggest choices in the book so far. Should I 

Mana Mirror: Chapter Thirty Nine

I clacked my tongue in thought as I stared at the contract. The extra cash in hand was appealing, but it didn’t hold a candle to the other two options. The real money – literally – would be i...

What Choice Will Malachi Take?

This is a fairly important decision, all things considered. It's not 100% critical to the entire future of everything, but it's definitely the kind of thing that will heavily influence his short te...

Mana Mirror: Chapter Thirty Eight

“Do you think the terragon presents a threat to my business?” he asked as soon as we sat down, sounding more concerned than he’d been for his own safety.

I reminded myself that now that...

Mana Mirror: Chapter Thirty Seven

My breath caught as I ran my eyes over him one more time. A few patches of green that I’d thought were leaves… Weren’t.

Oh, sure, he still had ivy and other plants trailing through his ...

Character Spotlight: Forest Boi

Since his name has yet to be revealed, I went with Forest Boi. Any gues as to what he is?

Mana Mirror: Chapter Thirty Six

The following morning, I packed things in my new storage briefcase, hung it from my broom with some sturdy cord, and flew off towards the manor. This flight was longer than the one to visit Kene, a...

Kene had finished up with the customer, and they were now standing in the laboratory at the bottom of the stairs, sorting out the plants that we’d harvested. He’d put my Pointer Moss in one cor...

Mana Mirror: Chapter Thirty Three

We spent at least half an hour combing through the nearby woods, looking for the troll’s cave, when Kene stopped. They turned and looked at me, then nodded to a mossy boulder leaning against a ro...

An (Overdue) Update (And Questions)

Hey everyone! It's been a second since my last update. Life has been VERY crazy for me, but I've finally left one of my jobs, and am settling into something of a routine.

If y'all recall, I ...

Mana Mirror: Chapter Thirty Two

“We fight,” I said, my voice a little bit shakier than I would have liked. I had to fight, or at least try to fight. Kene had taken me along to defend him from threats like this, after all. If ...

Fight or Flee?

Mana Mirror: Chapter Thirty One

I entered the door to his apothecary, the doorbell jingling. 

“We’re closed, is it an emergency?” Kene said. His voice was muffled, coming from the back of the shop.

Random Question

There were a few places that Orykson brought Malachi to in order to expose him to. Which description caught your eye most? 

This is a poll for fun and curiosity, it won't have an impact ...

Mana Mirror: Chapter Thirty

I spent the rest of the day on a short mission for the Wyldwatch. It didn’t net me anything of interest, but I wasn’t going to object to having a bit of extra silver in the bank. The following ...
