As Johann, Fade, and I dashed frantically through the woods in the direction of the host, we tried to thin the growing monster horde as...
2024-03-11 17:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostThankfully, the footprints that Fade had created weren’t a continuous line. If they had actually been something like that, I’m sure whoever we were tracking would have freaked out about how the...
2024-03-08 18:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostThe pattern repeated itself for the next half a week.
Fade and I would keep pace with the host of the Uprising, scouting beyond the edges in search of primarily monsters. In that time, we wou...

And so the short story comes to an end.
In more ways than one. I've made the decision that I'm not going to continue forward with this experiment into March. This is the last ...
2024-02-29 18:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostOver the next few days, I was put through a much more thorough examination of my abilities than the one that Hook had done. I primarily had three separate instructors in the Nocturn Division.
The Martelli family gardens were a carefully curated display of wealth. It seemed out of place to a dirt splattered peasant like Bront, considering where all the money for the extravagance came fro...

2024-02-26 18:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostI was sent flying from a blow by Hook. Twisting midair, I did my best to recover so I could land on my feet. I managed it, but I immediately collapsed to my hands and knees in exhaustion, panting. ...

2024-02-22 18:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostI didn’t sleep that night. I just stayed up, watching the world through the window of my room in the Citadel. Even nearly a week after Duke Graden had been deposed, there had still been celebrati...

Serene like, even.

2024-02-16 18:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostI had never spoken to the Prince, ever since he’d signed on with the Uprising. I mean, why would I? As far as anyone was supposed to know, I was just Grey’s odd apprentice that he had picked up...
