The fact that the guardian looked and acted just like it had during our first confrontation provided me with a comforting sense of relief. If it had acted in an entirely different manner, maybe alr...

Finding the best spot for an engagement was a difficult challenge. The primary problem was that we couldn’t make the guardian appear. So far, we hadn’t even tried to venture deeper into the mou...

Most of the time, the lingering connection between me and my Astral Power, even after it ostensibly had left my direct control, was an incredible boon. It allowed me to wield my powers over a much ...

Luckily, a tactical withdrawal from the Tallest’ Guardian was easily accomplished. While the thing was studendously powerful and about as durable as the average mountain, it was also about as fas...
