2021-10-15 18:22:29 +0000 UTC View PostResolving himself to properly thank the ingrate later, Callan brought his mind back to fighting. The hold had been painful but he was uninjured. Alec might have pushed his buttons but he had done h...
2021-10-15 18:22:27 +0000 UTC View PostHis first opponent was one of his allies. Match fixing was not looked down on by their hostess, as strategy was as much a part of Elven Garde as physical prowess. However, certain courtesies had to...

2021-10-12 01:14:24 +0000 UTC View Post“Alright, gather around.” Callan was forced to look away as Lucius called out to their group. There were over a dozen of them, a collection of stable hands, apprentices, and laborers who came t...
2021-10-12 01:13:39 +0000 UTC View Post“Stop drooling,” Micah said, snapping Callan out of his reverie.
“I’m not,” he said, stifling the urge to run the back of a hand over his lips.
“You think you’re the only ...
2021-10-12 01:12:47 +0000 UTC View PostThe press of tree trunks faded, giving way to a clearing of ankle-high grasses. Unlit standing torches formed a loose ring, which the crowd of bodies followed. Dozens of young men and the occasiona...

A few things. As I said before, we're switching perspectives, going from Lou's first person to a new character's 3rd person. I want to describe our favorite characters from someone...
2021-10-12 01:11:08 +0000 UTC View PostQuick thing before we start the new miniarc. I've had a few messages about the tiers and other stuff so I'd thought I'd check in with you guys.

I return the following Restday for my last day of punishment. Endo and Saul are waiting at the gate again. I immediately notice the normally laid-back acolytes seem tense. “Hey.”
“Oi, o...
2021-10-08 16:32:07 +0000 UTC View PostThe house is dark when I return home. Despite my wife’s many deviant tendencies, she’s strict about a proper night’s rest. With one exception, hehe.
As always, the door swing opens whil...

She laughs. “I don’t expect us to fight but if we do, I promise I won’t be a burden.”
“Don’t jinx us.” I don...
2021-10-06 20:08:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe camp is busy but quiet as ever. More torches have been lit, brightly illuminating the space. Several dozen breakers are gathered amongst the tents, seated around small fires. I imagine they’r...
2021-10-04 19:49:57 +0000 UTC View PostI have a moment to take in Eric’s grim frown before he yanks on my leg, sending me sprawling. I bite my tongue as my face hits the wagon’s floor but he doesn’t relent, pulling me to the groun...
2021-10-04 19:39:30 +0000 UTC View PostI contain my reaction to slightly tightening my grip.
“They’ll believe me,” I hear him mutter. “They have to. I didn’t kill those people! Didn’t do anything wrong.” He’s tryin...
2021-10-01 20:03:45 +0000 UTC View PostI ignore her, hopping the fence and dashing through the camp. I’m not the only one on the move, the other breakers scattering through the night. It’s a little risky but I transform anyway.
<... 2021-10-01 20:02:43 +0000 UTC View PostThe mender arrives surprisingly quickly. Mostly due to his horse. He jumps off the creature and vaults the Ring smoothly, impressive for a man of his advanced age, and hurries over to me. He carrie...
2021-09-29 20:14:24 +0000 UTC View Post“Something’s wrong,” Cloud murmurs, confirming my thoughts.
“Oi!” I shout as she walks forward. It’s one thing facing down a normal monster, I’ve seen enough to be confident in ...
2021-09-27 18:51:53 +0000 UTC View PostThe imp scampers off, quickly disappearing in the growing dark. I watch until she leaps over the stream before giving my attention back to Cloud, who calmly watched our goodbye. “You’ve got me ...
2021-09-27 18:51:15 +0000 UTC View PostI expect her to dodge. Any sensible person with an ounce of self-preservation instincts would dodge.
This madwoman steps into charge. Ducks so her shoulder is under its mouth and wraps her ar...
2021-09-27 18:50:36 +0000 UTC View PostI follow her gaze to see a wagon coming down the hill across the creek. “We both have work to do. Excuse me.”
“Ah, sure.”
I watch with furrowed brows as she easily hops over the...
2021-09-27 18:49:21 +0000 UTC View PostEveryone is unnaturally silent. I can’t hear a thing as they move, not even the rustle of clothes sliding over their bodies. Their footfalls as they move between the tents are softer than whisper...
2021-09-27 18:48:25 +0000 UTC View PostNext Restday, I’m back at the Sanctuary. The same two are standing at the gate, watching me curiously. “Morning,” I call out cheerfully.
“It was Tome, right?” Endo says.
“Yu...
2021-09-27 18:47:19 +0000 UTC View PostThe argument guides me away from the barns and out into the fields, the green sea divided by wooden fences, triangular-tipped planks hardly imposing before the monsters they’re meant to corral. T...
2021-09-27 18:46:25 +0000 UTC View PostIn the center of the wall is an arched opening, blocked by a large piece of stone. Endo yells and it is slowly pulled up, just enough for us to pass under.
On the opposite side of the wall is...

2021-09-27 18:44:38 +0000 UTC View PostHere we go, the first mini arc! Ideally, I would want to put these out a bit faster than my normal update schedule and no better way to start that than with the bonus chapters owed by reachin...
2021-09-27 18:43:48 +0000 UTC View PostIt’s finally over.
This time, for sure. Definitely.
It’s several days since Kierra slipped those account books to the Hall. Together with Lady Filagree, they descended on Quest like...
2021-09-24 22:15:46 +0000 UTC View PostLady Filagree descends on the field in a roar of scarlet flames that causes sweat to break out on my brow, flanked by five other fire casters. She does not look happy, eyes narrowed and lips curled...
