I took a look across the room. There were to charred skeletons, a burned mass, and another dead body. The wall opposite the beds was cracked, and one shutter was, too. At least it looks like we...

A/N: This one was super fun! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, and it changed a lot during editing, too. The side story tilts a little more ambiguously modern than what I would norm... 2022-09-30 04:27:02 +0000 UTC View Post
Chapter 70: Gone Fishing
After everyone else had gone to bed, I sat up alone on watch. I really resented having to set a watch at an inn room, but if Taava was right—and I strongly suspected she was—it was a necessary ...

I took the last watch before morning. Back in human form, I sat up, stitching around the two extra holes I’d made in my last shirt earlier that day. I could probably have shifted and tucked my ar...

“Why did you offer to help her?” Seyari asked me.

I woke up before Seyari, who was still asleep in my arms. My feet and lower legs were cold; I must have stretched out during the night. I thought back to the previous evening’s activities. I’d ...

I put another cut of venison into the hot pan and watched it sizzle. Given my relative immunity to fire and heat, I’d volunteered to hold the pan since we didn’t have gear for it. My arm wasn...

Chapter 64: The Road pt. 2
Lorelei and I arrived to a scene of carnage. We’d already passed the site where I was ambushed; the group had moved up to be ahead of the collapsed area, and that’s where this new fight had sta...

Seyari lent me a spare change of her own clothes for the walk back to town—I had to go barefoot since her shoes wouldn’t fit. Her clothing stretched awkwardly over my much larger frame, but the...

In silence, the three of us made our way up toward the ridgeline, following the creek. Seyari’s wind magic swirled the air around us gently, obscuring our scent and sound. The supernatural stilln...
