[ 20 ] Hunters

Three days after the incident with the toad, several riders pulled into town, causing a commotion.

Andric had kept a low profile, and many weren’t even aware he had visited until after he h...

Moving

Had a wild and very busy last few days moving states. I'll add a new chapter shortly and release on both Saturday and Sunday this week.

[ 19 ] Demonic Whispers

By the time Kal got back to town, the place was abuz. His mom had come home looking for him to tell him the news, and he caught her yelling his name as he bounded over the back fence.

Bit...

[ 18 ] Aftermath

Kal groaned and dizzily blinked. A dull ache thudded at the back of his head, and he felt something nudging his arm. “What is it?” he murmured, still calibrating to his surroundings.

“H...

[ 17 ] The Toad

A greenish hue of hazy light glowed from a crystal buried into the wall of a damp, muddy cavern lined by roots.

“I can see it taking over. Not long to wait now,” gargled a giant toad mark...

[ 16 ] Friend in Need

Kal remained quiet upon returning home. Daedrik had returned to the capital in the morning since his classes had started again, and Yandi left the moment she brought Kal home to go join the search ...

[ 15 ] Missing Pieces

“You three are crazy,” Zander shook his head. “I’m outta here,” he added, turning and storming out, his thudding steps echoing down the stairs a second later.

“Leaving already?”...

[ 14 ] Mentor

“So, the three little brats return. I’m impressed; I thought you’d be too scared to actually show up to your first lesson,” Zander said, his hands smugly resting against his hips as the tri...

[ 13 ] After School

Sitting on the porch outside the Jakari home, Tammy and Daedrik sat on white chairs by the door with mugs in their hands. They were supposed to be watching the kids, but at eleven years of age, the...

[ 12 ] Lead Classmates

Neither Ellie nor Arix were very good at meditating. Not that Kal minded. He wasn’t sure if ten-year-olds running around with magic was a great idea anyway.

By the end of their sixth year i...

[ 11 ] Rising Suspicions

Ellie hung from her mother's arm as they walked through the narrow, cobbled alley that cut through the townhomes that clumped together toward Ebenshire’s center.

“You alright?” Kal said...

[ 10 ] Party

“I’m so excited,” Yandi giddily made her way around the house, stringing up ribbons. “These decorations are so colorful and pretty. Don’t you think, Kal?”

“Yeah, it’s great,�...

[ 9 ] Demon Hunter

Strolling through narrow alleys between overpacked shelves, Kal’s eyes traced the binders for something interesting in the History & Geography section. He empowered a trickle of mana to boost...

100. Return

Pressed against the damp walls, the party of scouts and knights crept deeper into the caverns of the Daggers. Callum had considered ordering their retreat, but after a long moment of listening to t...

[ 8 ] Childhood

“Watchya doing, Kal?” Came a squeaky through the white picket gate that enclosed the yard.

Kal turned around to spot a curious, skinny girl with a rosy, blonde fringe watching him. <...

[ 7 ] Sphere

Thankfully, Daedrik rarely entered Kal’s room anymore. Their relationship seemed to have improved, but he was fairly certain he still had doubts about whether or not Kal was actually his son. But...

[ 6 ] Magic

Okay, let’s see here, Kal mused, sitting atop the living room sofa. His third birthday had come and gone without another unfortunate event like at his second, and in that time, he had be...

[ 5 ] Spellcasting

So, he’s already learned to hide his mana core, Daedrik mused, hunched over notes in his secret office. Not only that, but his mana is comparable to that of a gifted child over twice...
