Wandering Agent

Question for patrons

Sooo, RR has decided to throw down a gauntlet with their writeathon.  If I pick it up it would mean one of two things.  I could pick back up on one of my older stories, it I could write s...

Chapter 108 Catching Up

I was quickly moved to the headquarters for dad's army.  It was a large governmental building they'd taken over some time ago.  They'd chosen this one because of the nearby prison (For ca...

Chapter 107 Reunion

Verren

We had finally finished.  It had been several days to take the city once we got in, ending in the assault on the palace.  That part, at least for me and mine, was almost rout...

Chapter 106 Palace Showdown

Lief

I looked out over the town. The castle's wards were still holding for now, but even I realized that that wouldn't go for too much longer. It had been just over a week since the city ward...

Chapter 105 The Vine

Jorus passed the note to the other priests and quickly led me off.

"So, what do you know about the current situation?"  he asked.

"Lots of refugees, ongoing f...

Chapter 104 Quarrels and Helping Out

As we approached the temple district, which now had a gate made of interwoven vines, Kala turned to me. "Alana, a bit of privacy please."

That was a bit concerning, but easy enough...

Chapter 103 To the Temple District

While the outside of The Sky looked calm and normal, the inside was anything but.  The windows had been blacked with curtains and people huddled in, mostly women and children.  Those men ...

Chapter 102 Proclamation

I looked on as the two forces slowly moved towards each other.  For some reason I was expecting a mad rush, but there was none.  Nobody seemed to be running forward screaming madly and sw...

Chapter 101 Returning to the Lower City

The walk down the tunnel was good, if a bit boring.  It was wide, quiet, and an easy trek, probably because this was where all the panicked students would be going if things went tits up at th...

Chapter 100 Making Tracks

I wanted to bolt from here as soon as was possible.  Unfortunately I had a few problems.  Firstly I was running on fumes of mana, and if I got caught out again in any kind of fight I was ...

Chapter 99 The Storm

I'm not sure if anything good has ever happened after the words "We have our first targets." but for us this was decidedly a bad beginning.  Here in the atrium we were close, painfully so, to ...

Chapter 98 The Calm

I looked down from the window of my dorm.  The city was currently in two states.  While the streets were nearly dead to all traffic the walls looked like someone had kicked an ant nest. &...

Chapter 97 Incoming

School continued on. We got a new batch of students, and I was really starting to get a good feel for guessing who was a noble and who wasn't. There was just no denying that during the worst of the...

Chapter 96 Lengthening Shadows

Mystien

I sat in my command tent, going over today's reports.  We were well on in our war, and things were going mostly to plan.  I had command of our best war wizards, unlike the s...

Chapter 95 Emergency Equipment and Pinea's Scandalous Outfit

I managed to get Dras to join us at The Sky, alone, while our soon to be classmates were proving their worth.  He complained and whined, and asked what in the world I wanted that was so import...

Chapter 94 Teacher Conferences and Future Plans

It was late summer and my first year was slowly coming to it's end. So I had to meet with Professor Magnolia. I hadn't had much to do with him in the past bit other than our General Bard class, som...

Chapter 93 Those who show up

It was late in the evening as I made my way back to the lab.  It had taken far longer than thought to work things out but I was now fairly sure that I'd put together the code that I would need...

Chapter 92 Meetings

On our way out of the exhibition we met Glen. The short knight apprentice was attending as well it seemed and greeted us with a smile. It of course took me a moment to recognize him in what might b...

Chapter 91 Clarissa

I smiled as Kala held my head, soft light flowing over it from her hands. It felt warm and close and made me want to find somewhere to lay down and sink into. These little sessions were needed, the...

Small change

Previously people were not getting charged when they subbed, only at the 1st of the month, this has now been changed.  It shouldn't effect anyone currently subscribed, if it does, please let m...

Chapter 90 Endel's idea of therapy

I was lead down to the training grounds, where I would surely die. Professor Endel led the way, a long metal rod hanging in the air behind him, some kind of spell to make it easier to transport. We...

Chapter 89 Thunder

Several weeks had passed since our incident at the copse, and slowly things began to return to normal. The dead students were mourned, the survivors finally stopped getting asked to recount what ha...

Chapter 88 Various arrangements

Pinea was now the obvious choice for helping me find a new maid. We got along, and forming a connection with her would be best. Her family was a big player and that would be good. I also happened t...

Chapter 87 Confrontation

I needed a few moments to think, to organize my attack. In that vein I decided to go for the lowest of hanging fruits.

"The sphere is research that I'm not yet bringing forward. In fact, most...

Chapter 86 Sky-metal

I watched as my several gram bomb exploded in Professor Hern's mind, figuratively. He was tapping his reference book repeatedly as he waited for my response.

"Okay, what is sky-metal? Why is ...

Chapter 85 Returning and breaking things down

I had an idea. Well, somewhat of a theory I needed to test, but this would work. It would require a little caution too. I was unsure of exactly what I was and would be working with so I would need ...

Short delay

I am currently working on the next chapter, but it's taking me a bit longer than usual, it should be up in the next day or two.

Chapter 84 Hospital of The Shield

When I awoke I found a familiar figure sitting in the chair beside my bed.

"Eleanor?"

"Hello dear, I thought you'd like to see a friendly face when you woke."

I wouldn't exactly c...

Side story

Quite a time ago I wrote a side story that I put up a poll for.  At that time people wanted more chapters instead of another one, but I made it available for anyone who hit me on Discord. &nbs...

Chapter 83 Pain and insanity

I couldn't see the state that I was in, and Glen was covered by his armor, but the other three were badly burned.  Most of the hits had landed on their backs and limbs, charring skin and muscl...
