Chapter 211: Until it’s done
Mercury knew he was different now than just a few minutes ago. His whole existence had been almost stripped back down to nothing. That led one to mak...

We talked to Ann, who was, understandably, rather shocked. Marie was gone, Emilia had lost a leg, and Chris didn’t have any shell to speak to us with anymore. The archmage...

The walk forward, by itself, was frankly not that special. It was just placing one foot in front of the other. His motivation for doing so, though, was br...

Three more days passed with Mercury in Stormbraver. He made more things, like a few cooking knives. He also sharpened them, and even made the handles himse...

Mercury tilted his head at the spirit child. He was a bit wary, but given his most recent experiences, Breeze seemed harmless in comparison. Almo...

2024-07-22 01:27:19 +0000 UTC View PostWe hunted down more creatures within the city walls. One after another, sometimes many at a time, we killed more usurpers of stranger and stranger shapes and sizes. Hiveminds and swarms. Soldiers c...

After coming home, Mercury ate with Zyl. He talked a bit about what happened in the fae realm, and the way he’d been treated. He talked about everyon...

2024-06-07 21:36:28 +0000 UTC View PostNow, among my many stupid decisions, this one does stand out. Because, quite frankly, being out in the frontier is generally a poor choice. It has monsters, after all, and usurpers. 2024-06-03 15:20:09 +0000 UTC View Post
