Chapter 126: Fire Mage
It felt good to use my spear. It might have been possible to wipe the Forvaal if I’d let loose a firestorm, but with so many allies nearby, it would have been too dangerous.
I’m really gl...

Grímr and I fly north, descending the Alps as we go. Well, we intend to. That is, after we backtrack south to cross the crevasse over the bridge left in the Titan’s wake. Grímr adamantly refuse...

There was no way for us to remain hidden during our journey, both because of the pace we kept and Spenne’s complete disregard for subtlety. While running past thousands of mermineae we pretended ...

Doe opened the set of double doors with a calm poise which poorly reflected her inner turmoil. The commandeered town hall was an old, rickety wooden building that was closer to a cabin than the com...

The breeze through my feathers is amazing. I’ve been too hesitant to just spread my wings and fly lately. It’s mainly because of the threat of those giant birds that could be anywhere, but I re...

Despite their losses, the mermineae continue to throw themselves against the centzon’s defensive wall. Their efforts often in vain as either the wall itself tears apart them apart or the slingsho...

A few weeks have passed since I’d regained full autonomy. I don’t feel much different. Even as I think about travelling through the Alps again, I can’t stop the shudder that runs down my back...

Despondence was the usual state for mermineae.
It was the frustrating, terrible, hopeless state of the world they were forced to live that birthed nothing but cynicism. Mermineae feared each ...

The revontulet is, without a doubt, the same fox I saw back in the Void Fog.
