102 - Cousin Nysari

The human kingdoms were too damnably big. “Do they just go on forever?” Zael muttered, watching green hills sail past through the window. “I’m starting to think there isn’t an end at all....

101 - Deserve

Rafael enjoyed few things as much as he did solving problems of a logistical or political nature, but even he had his limits. Finally dragging his attention away from the paper on his desk, he glan...

100 - Mend

The fabric of space was not so structurally simple that it could genuinely be viewed as a piece of cloth. The metaphor was deeply flawed—as was often the truth when using analogies for m...

99 - In Good Hands

Fortunately, Vivi didn’t have to exaggerate to reassure Petra that the restaurant’s dishes had more than met her expectations. Funnily enough, the woman didn’t even seem pleased to r...

Impressively, Vincent only took a few seconds longer to recover. He plastered on a cool, host-like expression, and despite the events that had transpired right in front of him, he responded in an u...

97 - Misunderstanding

They had essentially just slid into the booth when the man from earlier returned, an older, mustached man accompanying him.

Though they wore the same white uniform with roses tucked into thei...

96 - Reservation

Once Isabella and Saffra were ready, Vivi warped their party of three to an anchor set a quarter mile outside of Sundermere, the capital city of the Eastern Kingdom.

“I don’t actually kno...

95 - Alabaster Rose

It took most of the next day for Vivi to finish placing warp anchors throughout the mortal lands. With how she could teleport across the human kingdoms, only the demon lands took a particularly lon...

94 - Rival

“No, you’re doing it wrong. Lady Vivi’s Haldr has more of a curve and swoop on the left. Like this.”

Isabella’s brow furrowed as she watched Saffra paint Haldr ont...

93 - Endorsement

Vivi had promised not to take too long obliging the Gale of Blades’ demand for a duel, but thankfully, that hadn’t meant she needed to rush too much. With every individual present havi...

92 - Challenge

Rafael had known this event would not go as planned. No plan ever survived contact with Vivisari. Still, he’d expected they would at least make it through the canned opening before things went of...

91 - Warp

Silence,” a voice roared from Adrian’s side, and surprisingly, everyone gathered obeyed immediately.

Adrian turned to see that—as his ears suggested but he’d failed to bel...

90 - High Prince

High Prince Adrian, second in line to the crown of the Central Kingdom, sat in his chair atop the velvet-draped dais hastily erected in the Palace’s Courtyard. His father, the High King, slumped ...

89 - Malach

Walking into the back room of the Hem and Stitch, Vivi was met with Malach, the Tailor of Vanguard—once a spritely young mouse beastkin, now bent-over and cane-wielding. With so many yea...

88 - Tailor

Vivi's number one priority was dropping [Warp Anchors] around the mortal kingdoms, but luckily, she could work on her secondary goal while doing so. Reuniting Vanguard.

87 - Spatial Rift

Vivi considered the man across the desk.

Lysander, the Headmaster of the Thaumaturgical Institute, was about as assertive and arrogant as she’d expected given the opinions Aeris had voiced ...

86 - Limb

Lysander’s first instinct was to [Inspect] the strange object placed onto his desk. He almost regretted doing so.

85 - Integrity

Lysander’s attention fell, naturally, on the demon at Aeris’s side.

She wore no red tattoos on her face, which introduced a moment of hesitation, but not a long one. Not simply because th...

84 - Lysander

A glare of light snuck through the pulled-closed curtains and onto Lysander’s face, slowly dragging him out of a deep slumber. He came to with a stir, a grunt, and a smacking of lips, one eye cra...

83 - Three Of Seven

One hundred and seven years ago.

All that saved humanity—all mortal races—from extinction was that the Cataclysms were forces of nature. They did not target strate...

82 - Catching Up

A part of Vivi thought, selfishly, that after saving two cities’ worth of people, the least she could be rewarded with was a nap.

But even in her current head-pounding misery, she knew it w...

81 - Friends

The two mages appeared a few dozen feet from Saffra, at the center of the thoroughfare. She herself stood elevated on a pile of rubble that had once been some guildhall or another. Her eyes went wi...

80 - Labor

They couldn’t just stride out from the Sorceress’s manor, even if the building had been repurposed into the White Glove Academy—it would draw too much unwanted attention.

The past several days had gone by in a daze.

For once, Vivi demonstrated some wisdom. She closed her eyes and did not watch the dimensional boundary break into pieces.
